Muhammad

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

We send peace and blessings upon our beloved

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

messenger, Muhammad, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,

00:01:30 --> 00:01:33

upon his family, his companions,

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

and those who follow them until the end

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36

of time.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:40

Just one second here. Yes. This is what

00:01:40 --> 00:01:41

I'm looking for. I hope

00:01:41 --> 00:01:42

everybody

00:01:43 --> 00:01:43

is doing wonderful.

00:01:44 --> 00:01:45

Ask Allah to

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

bless each and every one of you, increase

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

you. It's great to see everyone here worldwide.

00:01:50 --> 00:01:51

We are kind of

00:01:52 --> 00:01:52

like

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55

let me try to center myself a little

00:01:55 --> 00:01:56

better as well.

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59

I think that's better on Instagram. So we're

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

actually trying out this new software that Instagram

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

rolled out for us, and we wanna say

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

thank you to them,

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06

which allows us to broadcast not only on

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

Instagram but all over,

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

our social media outlets.

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

So welcome everybody.

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

And again, I hope everyone is having an

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

amazing

00:02:16 --> 00:02:19

Ramadan, a transformative Ramadan. Many

00:02:19 --> 00:02:22

duas and and warm regards to you.

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

And your your family

00:02:26 --> 00:02:27

And we're reading now from

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

this important text

00:02:29 --> 00:02:30

by Imam

00:02:32 --> 00:02:35

that talks about building the capacity to have

00:02:35 --> 00:02:36

good

00:02:36 --> 00:02:37

thoughts

00:02:37 --> 00:02:40

and good assumptions with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

And I really encourage everyone to listen to

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

the first

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

part of this series from the other night

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

yesterday, where I talk about some of the

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

foundations of theology

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

that really helps us to locate ourself

00:02:54 --> 00:02:56

as being those who have good assumptions of

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

Allah

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

And we're reading now this collection of hadith

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

and we reached to the 11th hadith

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04

as well as narrations from the righteous Muslims.

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

The early Muslims. One who will and

00:03:10 --> 00:03:11

Imam even

00:03:11 --> 00:03:12

even Abidunya,

00:03:12 --> 00:03:15

he relates from Khalaf Ibn Tayim

00:03:16 --> 00:03:19

who narrates that he asked Adi ibn

00:03:19 --> 00:03:20

Baqar,

00:03:21 --> 00:03:22

what is?

00:03:25 --> 00:03:26

How do you how do you have a

00:03:26 --> 00:03:27

good assumption of Allah?

00:03:29 --> 00:03:31

And he said to him

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

something really interesting. He said,

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

This could have a number of meanings.

00:03:44 --> 00:03:45

The first is,

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48

at a very important sign,

00:03:50 --> 00:03:51

that if I wanna know

00:03:52 --> 00:03:54

if I should have a good assumption with

00:03:54 --> 00:03:57

Allah, then let me see how I'm living.

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

Let me take account of myself.

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

Imam Malik, he said that the sign that

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

you're guided is you act guided, more or

00:04:06 --> 00:04:07

less the meaning.

00:04:07 --> 00:04:10

So the sign that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:04:10 --> 00:04:11

is pleased with me

00:04:11 --> 00:04:13

is if I'm living foul,

00:04:13 --> 00:04:15

then obviously I need to take account of

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

myself.

00:04:17 --> 00:04:19

But if I am living a life

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

of goodness

00:04:22 --> 00:04:23

and I'm surrounded by people,

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

a religious

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

safety net

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

that strengthens my iman

00:04:30 --> 00:04:31

and strengthens my worship,

00:04:33 --> 00:04:35

and this is by my choice.

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

This is a sign of that

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39

I should have a good hope in Allah.

00:04:39 --> 00:04:41

Now, of course, there are times when we're

00:04:41 --> 00:04:43

tested with family members that we can't escape

00:04:43 --> 00:04:45

with with from. There are times that we

00:04:45 --> 00:04:46

may be tested with colleagues

00:04:47 --> 00:04:48

or fellow classmates

00:04:49 --> 00:04:52

or fellow coworkers that are bad people.

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55

But what he's talking about here is

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

in moments that I have the ability to

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

choose,

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

that I do not find myself

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

hanging out with the wrong crowd,

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

that I do not find myself

00:05:08 --> 00:05:09

choosing disobedience.

00:05:10 --> 00:05:12

And in that moment, if I find

00:05:14 --> 00:05:16

that Allah has blessed me to choose what's

00:05:16 --> 00:05:17

right

00:05:17 --> 00:05:20

and to try my best to set up

00:05:20 --> 00:05:21

my life in a way where I'm surrounded

00:05:21 --> 00:05:23

by the righteous,

00:05:24 --> 00:05:25

then I should have hope in Allah.

00:05:27 --> 00:05:28

As Allah who subhanahu wa ta'ala says in

00:05:28 --> 00:05:29

the Quran,

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

Oh you who believe,

00:05:38 --> 00:05:39

be dutiful to Allah

00:05:42 --> 00:05:44

and be with the people of piety.

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46

Be with the people of obedience.

00:05:47 --> 00:05:47

The prophet

00:05:50 --> 00:05:51

his companions, they ask him.

00:05:55 --> 00:05:56

They asked the prophet

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

what are the best best

00:06:01 --> 00:06:03

people to be around, the best gatherings to

00:06:03 --> 00:06:05

be around, the best people to sit with.

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

And he said, and this is a good

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

hadith,

00:06:11 --> 00:06:12

those

00:06:13 --> 00:06:15

who when they see when you see them,

00:06:15 --> 00:06:16

they remind you of Allah.

00:06:17 --> 00:06:19

And when they speak, they increase your knowledge.

00:06:20 --> 00:06:21

And when they act,

00:06:22 --> 00:06:23

they remind you of the hereafter.

00:06:31 --> 00:06:33

So that's the first meaning of this this

00:06:33 --> 00:06:34

statement

00:06:34 --> 00:06:35

of

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

that you're not gonna find yourself surrounded by

00:06:43 --> 00:06:46

bad people because bad people, unless and here

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

he means by choice. Right? I've chosen to

00:06:48 --> 00:06:51

be around these people, not by the outcomes

00:06:51 --> 00:06:53

of circumstance. That's different.

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56

Then that's a sign that, you know, my

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58

life is not really headed in the right

00:06:58 --> 00:07:01

direction. The other meaning, and this is actually

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

more profound,

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

is that if I'm living right,

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

I know Allah

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

says in the Quran

00:07:15 --> 00:07:17

That the people who have lived

00:07:21 --> 00:07:23

righteous lives will be in Jannah,

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

and the people who have rebelled against Allah

00:07:26 --> 00:07:27

will be in *.

00:07:28 --> 00:07:30

So what that means is if you're doing

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

your best

00:07:31 --> 00:07:33

and you're struggling and I'm struggling

00:07:34 --> 00:07:36

to be obedient to Allah, And even if

00:07:36 --> 00:07:37

we make mistakes, but

00:07:38 --> 00:07:40

in our heart, we're doing our best.

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

Then, subhanAllah, don't worry. Allah will never put

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

the sinner

00:07:45 --> 00:07:48

and the righteous person together. So in

00:07:48 --> 00:07:49

in in heaven,

00:07:49 --> 00:07:51

if you are a person of of obedience,

00:07:52 --> 00:07:53

that's where you'll be.

00:07:54 --> 00:07:55

And the people of disobedience,

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

they'll be in *. So have hope

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

that Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala will never wrong

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

you. That

00:08:04 --> 00:08:06

Allah If you do even a Adam's weight

00:08:06 --> 00:08:07

of good,

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

that may take

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

you to the rahma of Allah. And that's

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

actually the meaning of

00:08:15 --> 00:08:17

that you should have hope that Allah will

00:08:17 --> 00:08:19

never bring together the sinners

00:08:20 --> 00:08:22

and the righteous. So if you are struggling

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

to live a righteous life, then don't worry

00:08:26 --> 00:08:27

because your abode,

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

Their abode is Jannah, SubhanAllah.

00:08:35 --> 00:08:38

As I explained earlier, one interpretation is that

00:08:38 --> 00:08:39

it applies to this life,

00:08:40 --> 00:08:41

but the stronger interpretation

00:08:42 --> 00:08:44

and and that's a wonderful question is that

00:08:44 --> 00:08:46

it's talking about in the hereafter. Like, how

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

do you how do you maintain the hope?

00:08:48 --> 00:08:50

Like, maybe the world around you, everything is

00:08:50 --> 00:08:53

bad. Maybe you have the bad people around

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

you that you didn't choose to be around.

00:08:55 --> 00:08:57

And so you start to feel like I'm

00:08:57 --> 00:08:59

losing my hope in Allah. So what Adi

00:08:59 --> 00:09:02

Adi ibn Baqarah is saying is if you

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

are living good in this world,

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

then don't worry because you will not be

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

with the sinful in the hereafter by the

00:09:08 --> 00:09:12

mercy of Allah. In other words, stay down.

00:09:15 --> 00:09:18

Don't let the world throw you off. And

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

sometimes it's hard. It could even be our

00:09:20 --> 00:09:21

own family members, man.

00:09:23 --> 00:09:25

Sometimes it can be be people that are

00:09:25 --> 00:09:27

extremely close to us, that we have no

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29

choice but to be around.

00:09:30 --> 00:09:31

In that in that moment,

00:09:35 --> 00:09:37

we have been commanded to stay upright. I'm

00:09:37 --> 00:09:39

not answering questions here by the way. And

00:09:39 --> 00:09:41

and and these that question that you're asking,

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

there's books written about this. I encourage you

00:09:43 --> 00:09:44

to read it there.

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

But this is a lecture. This is a

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

class that we're focusing on certain topics. So

00:09:49 --> 00:09:51

I appreciate I love that people have these

00:09:51 --> 00:09:53

amazing questions, but you can ask questions

00:09:53 --> 00:09:54

in

00:09:54 --> 00:09:55

the question

00:09:56 --> 00:09:58

section on the story. And brothers and sisters,

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

some people they get upset at me. It's

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

almost a 1,000 questions a day. And probably

00:10:03 --> 00:10:05

a large percentage of them, I don't know

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

the answers to. So I only answer what

00:10:07 --> 00:10:09

I know. And then, of course, I'm only,

00:10:09 --> 00:10:12

like, one person, subhanAllah. So please don't take

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

it personal,

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

you know, if I don't get to your

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

questions, if I don't get to your questions.

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

So please forgive me, Alhamdulillah.

00:10:19 --> 00:10:20

So that's the first statement,

00:10:20 --> 00:10:22

the 11th narration

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

that,

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

asked by

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

how do you what is having hope in

00:10:32 --> 00:10:33

Allah?

00:10:36 --> 00:10:38

Don't worry. If you live a righteous life,

00:10:39 --> 00:10:41

whatever is going on around you, Allah

00:10:41 --> 00:10:42

is not going

00:10:43 --> 00:10:45

to unite you with the evildoers

00:10:45 --> 00:10:46

in the hereafter.

00:10:47 --> 00:10:49

So just don't worry about them. And sometimes

00:10:49 --> 00:10:50

that's what Islamophobia

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

tries to do. It tries to make us

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

feel that it's the world against us.

00:10:56 --> 00:10:57

And they try to put pressure that they

00:10:57 --> 00:10:59

try to make us conform

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

to their ideas and their understandings,

00:11:03 --> 00:11:05

and they try to condition us.

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

But when we know we're on the hack,

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

alhamdulillah, in the hereafter,

00:11:10 --> 00:11:12

what did Sayna Yusuf say?

00:11:13 --> 00:11:14

He said, what

00:11:17 --> 00:11:19

in the in this life and in the

00:11:19 --> 00:11:20

next,

00:11:20 --> 00:11:21

unite me with the righteous.

00:11:23 --> 00:11:25

Unite me with the people of Taqwa.

00:11:27 --> 00:11:30

The next narration, narration number 12 is from.

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

Was

00:11:33 --> 00:11:34

from the early Muslims

00:11:37 --> 00:11:38

In Ibno Awana,

00:11:40 --> 00:11:42

he said that he saw a man at

00:11:42 --> 00:11:43

Arafa.

00:11:44 --> 00:11:46

And Arafa, of course, those of us who

00:11:46 --> 00:11:47

have been there,

00:11:48 --> 00:11:50

it's an incredible experience, man,

00:11:51 --> 00:11:52

to go on Hajj,

00:11:53 --> 00:11:54

you know, and to be in Arafat.

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

And we know that Arafat is called

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

the minor day of judgment.

00:12:02 --> 00:12:04

Arafat is meant to remind us of the

00:12:04 --> 00:12:05

day of judgment.

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

Because the day of judgment is,

00:12:09 --> 00:12:10

the major standing.

00:12:11 --> 00:12:14

And Arafat, that's why we wear just the

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

and we don't have any sin or anything.

00:12:16 --> 00:12:18

We have nothing to make us comfortable

00:12:19 --> 00:12:20

to remind us of what it's gonna be

00:12:20 --> 00:12:21

like

00:12:21 --> 00:12:22

on the day of when

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

the sun is above our head.

00:12:26 --> 00:12:27

Subhanallah.

00:12:27 --> 00:12:28

May Allah,

00:12:29 --> 00:12:31

make it easy for you to go.

00:12:32 --> 00:12:35

So the next narration, Ibna Awana, he says

00:12:35 --> 00:12:35

that he saw

00:12:37 --> 00:12:38

a man at Arafa,

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

and that man was making dua. Listen to

00:12:42 --> 00:12:44

his dua, man. He

00:12:47 --> 00:12:48

says,

00:13:04 --> 00:13:06

That he heard this person making this dua

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

that said, oh Allah,

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

don't punish us with fire

00:13:11 --> 00:13:12

after

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

you settled

00:13:14 --> 00:13:15

Tawhid in our hearts.

00:13:17 --> 00:13:18

Because we know that the prophet sallallahu alaihi

00:13:18 --> 00:13:19

wa sallam,

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

he

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

he mentioned

00:13:24 --> 00:13:27

that there are incredible benefits to the people

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

who say

00:13:31 --> 00:13:33

And one of them, those who sincerely say

00:13:33 --> 00:13:35

it is that they will be

00:13:36 --> 00:13:39

protected from or even if they are in

00:13:39 --> 00:13:40

the hellfire will be taken out of the

00:13:40 --> 00:13:41

hellfire.

00:13:42 --> 00:13:43

So he said,

00:13:49 --> 00:13:50

this man was

00:13:52 --> 00:13:53

seen.

00:13:54 --> 00:13:55

And

00:13:56 --> 00:13:57

then

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

says, then the man, he begin to weep.

00:14:02 --> 00:14:04

It's understood to be with Ikhlas.

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

So whenever we say that the Muslims should

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

say

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

or whenever a Muslim says

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

you don't have to to to to assume

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

that they don't have.

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

The right of the Muslim upon us is

00:14:16 --> 00:14:18

that we have a with the Muslim.

00:14:19 --> 00:14:20

And the reason that we have a good

00:14:20 --> 00:14:23

assumption with the Muslim is because the one

00:14:23 --> 00:14:26

who loves and has guided the Muslim mean

00:14:26 --> 00:14:28

is Allah. And this is very important. Good

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

assumptions with Allah leads to good assumptions with

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

the of the prophet

00:14:35 --> 00:14:37

Subhanallah, this is very important. So, of course,

00:14:37 --> 00:14:39

we understood it and this is a beautiful

00:14:39 --> 00:14:41

reminder. May Allah reward you. That is being

00:14:41 --> 00:14:42

said sincerely and

00:14:43 --> 00:14:44

and anyone who says

00:14:44 --> 00:14:45

the

00:14:46 --> 00:14:47

the state of Muhammad said,

00:14:58 --> 00:15:00

And so he says after he said this,

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

he began to cry.

00:15:06 --> 00:15:08

And then the man he said, and whatever

00:15:08 --> 00:15:09

has been done,

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

oh Allah,

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

in rebellion against you,

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

handle it with your grace.

00:15:20 --> 00:15:21

Handle it with your mercy.

00:15:23 --> 00:15:24

Then

00:15:24 --> 00:15:25

he continued to cry.

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

Allah. What what a a dua, man. The

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

dua says

00:15:42 --> 00:15:45

that this man he said, oh Allah, do

00:15:45 --> 00:15:46

not punish us.

00:15:52 --> 00:15:54

Oh, Allah. Don't

00:15:54 --> 00:15:54

don't

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

don't punish us after you gave us tawheed.

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

Well, I

00:16:01 --> 00:16:03

we have the nam of tawhid,

00:16:04 --> 00:16:05

so please don't punish us.

00:16:07 --> 00:16:10

There's a narration, the heart that says

00:16:10 --> 00:16:12

will not be burned by the fire.

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

Then he begin to weep.

00:16:17 --> 00:16:18

And then after that he said,

00:16:20 --> 00:16:23

and whatever has been done in disobedience to

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

you,

00:16:24 --> 00:16:26

handle it with your mercy.

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

Because if you don't, if you are not

00:16:29 --> 00:16:31

merciful to our sins,

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

then we are going to be united

00:16:34 --> 00:16:37

with those people that we used

00:16:37 --> 00:16:39

to dislike for your sake. Meaning, we're gonna

00:16:39 --> 00:16:41

be with the disbelievers

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

in the hellfire.

00:16:44 --> 00:16:45

So what do we learn

00:16:46 --> 00:16:48

from this hadith? The power of

00:16:58 --> 00:16:59

When the prophet

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

told them that whoever says

00:17:02 --> 00:17:03

will go to paradise.

00:17:03 --> 00:17:06

Said, now Abu Ghraib, he said, even if

00:17:06 --> 00:17:08

they steal, he said, even if they steal.

00:17:08 --> 00:17:10

Even if they commit zina, even if they

00:17:10 --> 00:17:13

commit adultery. Even if they murdered, even if

00:17:13 --> 00:17:15

they murdered. And then say, he said,

00:17:16 --> 00:17:18

I'm gonna go tell everybody and the prophet

00:17:18 --> 00:17:19

because he knew

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

his people. He said, don't tell them because

00:17:22 --> 00:17:24

if you tell them, they become lazy.

00:17:29 --> 00:17:30

When he was on the donkey with the

00:17:30 --> 00:17:31

prophet

00:17:32 --> 00:17:33

and the prophet

00:17:33 --> 00:17:34

said to him,

00:17:36 --> 00:17:37

you know the right of Allah upon his

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

servants? He said, no. He said that they

00:17:39 --> 00:17:41

worship him and they don't make shirk.

00:17:43 --> 00:17:44

And then Sayedem Wa'at,

00:17:45 --> 00:17:46

a little bit later the prophet said to

00:17:46 --> 00:17:47

him,

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

Do you know the rights of the servants

00:17:52 --> 00:17:54

of Allah if they do that? He said,

00:17:54 --> 00:17:55

no.

00:17:56 --> 00:17:57

He said, you won't punish them.

00:17:59 --> 00:18:01

The 13th hadith is from Sayna Abu Huraira

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

for those of us who embraced Al Islam,

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

you should read the story of Abu Hurayra

00:18:06 --> 00:18:07

and his mother.

00:18:08 --> 00:18:10

Because we know that Abu Hurayra, he came

00:18:10 --> 00:18:11

from Yemen, subhanallah,

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

from oath.

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

And we ask Allah to bless and protect

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

our brothers and sisters in

00:18:27 --> 00:18:30

His mom didn't become Muslim for a while.

00:18:31 --> 00:18:32

And

00:18:34 --> 00:18:35

his his mom,

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

she

00:18:38 --> 00:18:40

she was harsh on him,

00:18:42 --> 00:18:45

and he became distraught about his mother.

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

And one day she she became extremely harsh

00:18:50 --> 00:18:51

on him,

00:18:52 --> 00:18:54

and he left. He was angry. He he

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

left

00:18:55 --> 00:18:57

his home, and he went to the masjid.

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

And he saw Sayyidina Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa

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

sallamah.

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

And he was upset, and the prophet noticed

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

he was upset.

00:19:06 --> 00:19:07

And SubhanAllah,

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

the prophet made dua for his mom.

00:19:12 --> 00:19:13

And when

00:19:13 --> 00:19:16

Saiduna Abu Huerra, he went home,

00:19:16 --> 00:19:18

his mother was Muslim.

00:19:24 --> 00:19:25

He said that the prophet

00:19:31 --> 00:19:32

He said that Allah

00:19:43 --> 00:19:44

That my mercy

00:19:45 --> 00:19:46

supersedes

00:19:46 --> 00:19:47

my anger.

00:19:48 --> 00:19:51

This hadith is related by Imam Al Bukari.

00:19:55 --> 00:19:56

Now let me look into my life as

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

a husband.

00:19:58 --> 00:19:59

Does my mercy

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

come before my anger?

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

Let me look at myself as a father

00:20:05 --> 00:20:06

to my children.

00:20:08 --> 00:20:09

Does my mercy

00:20:10 --> 00:20:11

come before my anger?

00:20:12 --> 00:20:14

Let me look at myself as a teacher

00:20:15 --> 00:20:16

in the university

00:20:17 --> 00:20:18

and in my madrassa.

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

Does my mercy

00:20:21 --> 00:20:23

come before my anger? Let me look at

00:20:23 --> 00:20:26

myself as a son to my parents and

00:20:26 --> 00:20:27

a brother to my brother.

00:20:27 --> 00:20:28

Does my mercy

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

come before my anger? Let me look at

00:20:31 --> 00:20:34

myself as a student of online teachers

00:20:35 --> 00:20:37

and people that I learned from online,

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

or people even that I don't agree with,

00:20:41 --> 00:20:42

does my mercy

00:20:42 --> 00:20:46

come before my anger? If I'm not merciful,

00:20:46 --> 00:20:48

how can I expect mercy?

00:20:48 --> 00:20:51

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he said

00:20:54 --> 00:20:55

my mercy

00:20:55 --> 00:20:56

supersedes my anger.

00:20:57 --> 00:20:58

If Allah,

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

the default of his relationship with us is

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

Rahmah,

00:21:03 --> 00:21:06

and the default of the messenger of Allah

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

and how he treats people is Rahmah, what

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

is my default? Am I angry all the

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

time at people? The whole world is against

00:21:14 --> 00:21:17

me. I'm always upset. I'm always complaining.

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

Or am I trying to think about if

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

I want to align with religious morality and

00:21:24 --> 00:21:26

religious values?

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

My default should be Rahmah.

00:21:30 --> 00:21:31

Think about it.

00:21:32 --> 00:21:33

That's why in

00:21:37 --> 00:21:38

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,

00:21:41 --> 00:21:42

he commends the prophet

00:21:47 --> 00:21:48

The word actually

00:21:50 --> 00:21:53

is a command. You must say, oh, kafir.

00:21:57 --> 00:21:57

Why?

00:21:59 --> 00:22:01

Man, Instagram blown up, man.

00:22:01 --> 00:22:02

Why?

00:22:03 --> 00:22:04

Because the prophet

00:22:05 --> 00:22:07

even those people are kufa,

00:22:08 --> 00:22:09

he's the kind person.

00:22:10 --> 00:22:12

He doesn't use this kind of language.

00:22:13 --> 00:22:17

So Allah has to command him, kuliya Muhammad

00:22:19 --> 00:22:21

Because the default of the prophet is kindness.

00:22:24 --> 00:22:27

That's not how Muslims, we treat each other

00:22:27 --> 00:22:28

that way.

00:22:37 --> 00:22:38

Our anger

00:22:38 --> 00:22:40

supersedes our wrath.

00:22:40 --> 00:22:41

Our wrath

00:22:42 --> 00:22:43

supersedes our rahma.

00:22:45 --> 00:22:47

So ask ourselves, how do we treat Muslims?

00:22:48 --> 00:22:50

Sometimes people, they don't agree with me on

00:22:50 --> 00:22:51

the q and a. It's okay. You don't

00:22:51 --> 00:22:53

agree with me. But then they write posts.

00:22:53 --> 00:22:55

They write messages to

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

me. Well, I I start to wonder, am

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

I Muslim? And it's a way the way

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

that you talk about something

00:23:01 --> 00:23:04

and most of those answers, there's gonna be

00:23:04 --> 00:23:06

different opinions, Akhi,

00:23:06 --> 00:23:07

of the fuqaha.

00:23:08 --> 00:23:09

Take it easy, man.

00:23:10 --> 00:23:11

In Ramadan.

00:23:12 --> 00:23:13

Yeah.

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

Maybe the reason the ummah

00:23:16 --> 00:23:18

is in such bad shape,

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

because we don't love each other.

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

We don't know how to talk with each

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

other.

00:23:24 --> 00:23:26

We don't know how to treat each other.

00:23:26 --> 00:23:28

We take a Muslim for granted.

00:23:28 --> 00:23:29

And the prophet

00:23:32 --> 00:23:33

said,

00:23:35 --> 00:23:36

the best Muslim is the one who other

00:23:36 --> 00:23:39

Muslims are safe from his or her tongue.

00:23:42 --> 00:23:44

We're always worried about the kufar,

00:23:44 --> 00:23:46

but we never worry about ourselves.

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

We always worry about other people treating us,

00:23:50 --> 00:23:51

but we didn't see how we treat each

00:23:51 --> 00:23:52

other.

00:23:54 --> 00:23:55

Allah says,

00:23:57 --> 00:23:58

Allah

00:23:58 --> 00:23:59

says

00:23:59 --> 00:24:01

Allah will not change people

00:24:01 --> 00:24:03

until they change what's in themselves.

00:24:05 --> 00:24:07

So maybe I can start with this hadith,

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

and I can realign my life in this

00:24:10 --> 00:24:12

month of Ramadan as a father, as a

00:24:12 --> 00:24:13

husband,

00:24:13 --> 00:24:16

as a son, as a brother, as a

00:24:16 --> 00:24:17

teacher, talking to myself,

00:24:18 --> 00:24:19

and let me

00:24:19 --> 00:24:20

reorient

00:24:21 --> 00:24:22

my priorities

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

and make my rahma first

00:24:26 --> 00:24:27

and my anger

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

second.

00:24:30 --> 00:24:32

And the cynicism and anger, and we're gonna

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

talk about this later on in these discussions,

00:24:35 --> 00:24:36

is largely rooted

00:24:37 --> 00:24:38

in a monoculture,

00:24:39 --> 00:24:40

mono modernity,

00:24:41 --> 00:24:41

which is

00:24:42 --> 00:24:44

strictly based on consumption

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

and

00:24:47 --> 00:24:49

what you have achieved financially.

00:24:51 --> 00:24:53

And it continues through Instagram

00:24:53 --> 00:24:54

and TV

00:24:54 --> 00:24:55

and movies

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

to present

00:24:57 --> 00:24:58

unrealistic

00:24:58 --> 00:24:59

expectations

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

of wealth, and wealth within this world

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

actually

00:25:04 --> 00:25:06

is synonymous with this system

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

as success and happiness

00:25:09 --> 00:25:10

to the masses

00:25:10 --> 00:25:13

so that we're always unhappy. So I'm not

00:25:13 --> 00:25:14

happy that I prayed Fajr.

00:25:15 --> 00:25:17

I'm not happy that I prayed to Asr.

00:25:18 --> 00:25:19

The prophet

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

said,

00:25:21 --> 00:25:23

whoever missed the Assar is like someone who

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

went bankrupt.

00:25:26 --> 00:25:28

But but but I'm angry

00:25:29 --> 00:25:30

if I didn't see the latest

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

show.

00:25:32 --> 00:25:33

I got the latest

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

cosmetics.

00:25:35 --> 00:25:39

My outfit for Eid doesn't look like such

00:25:39 --> 00:25:40

and such person.

00:25:40 --> 00:25:42

My this and this.

00:25:43 --> 00:25:44

But

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

what makes me happy and what makes me

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

angry

00:25:48 --> 00:25:50

is largely going to be the symptom of

00:25:50 --> 00:25:52

how much I am infected

00:25:53 --> 00:25:54

by the unrealistic

00:25:54 --> 00:25:55

brutality

00:25:55 --> 00:25:57

of secular society

00:25:58 --> 00:26:01

that continues to force down the people's throat

00:26:01 --> 00:26:03

that you have to look a certain way,

00:26:03 --> 00:26:05

you have to be a certain color, you

00:26:05 --> 00:26:07

have to speak a certain language, you have

00:26:07 --> 00:26:08

to drive a certain car, you have to

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

live in a certain neighborhood for you to

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

have intrinsic value.

00:26:12 --> 00:26:15

And that's the great contradiction of the secular

00:26:15 --> 00:26:15

world,

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

that it creates intrinsic value with things which

00:26:19 --> 00:26:21

are not intrinsic to us.

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

Subhanallah.

00:26:23 --> 00:26:25

And it tries to force that on us,

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

and that's why people become

00:26:28 --> 00:26:30

so angry because it's beyond their control.

00:26:31 --> 00:26:32

Whereas religion

00:26:33 --> 00:26:36

forces us and compels us to think and

00:26:36 --> 00:26:39

accept the fact that our value

00:26:39 --> 00:26:42

is what Allah has commanded us to do

00:26:42 --> 00:26:43

and us being able to do it.

00:26:47 --> 00:26:49

If we knew when we go into our

00:26:49 --> 00:26:50

grave,

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

the value of 1 fajr,

00:26:54 --> 00:26:55

one subhanallah,

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

one alhamdulillah,

00:26:58 --> 00:26:59

one of those

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

things we may be taking for one second

00:27:02 --> 00:27:04

from the day of Ramadan.

00:27:06 --> 00:27:07

We want it back.

00:27:12 --> 00:27:14

One time he was with his students,

00:27:15 --> 00:27:17

and they were passing by the graveyard.

00:27:18 --> 00:27:19

And he said to them,

00:27:20 --> 00:27:22

if those people in the grave could speak,

00:27:23 --> 00:27:24

you know what they would say to you?

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

They said no.

00:27:29 --> 00:27:30

He said,

00:27:31 --> 00:27:32

they would tell you to fear Allah.

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

Another narration, he said, they would say to

00:27:36 --> 00:27:37

you that we would give

00:27:38 --> 00:27:41

everything we earned in dunya

00:27:41 --> 00:27:42

for 2 raka.

00:27:44 --> 00:27:47

Now we shouldn't go to an extreme, delete

00:27:47 --> 00:27:49

our apps and get rid of our phone.

00:27:49 --> 00:27:51

No. We should learn to be disciplined people.

00:27:52 --> 00:27:54

We should live a life of nothing can

00:27:54 --> 00:27:55

control us.

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

If we keep our eyes on Jannah.

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

So let me look at my life now.

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

Does

00:28:04 --> 00:28:05

my

00:28:05 --> 00:28:06

mercy

00:28:07 --> 00:28:09

supersede my anger, the mercy I have for

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

myself.

00:28:12 --> 00:28:13

The next hadith

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

is from Satan Jaber ibn Abdillah.

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

Hakim Afon Hakim ibn Jaber.

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

His

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

narrates

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

that Satan Ibrahim

00:28:24 --> 00:28:27

alayhi salatu salaam. He used to make this

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

dua.

00:28:40 --> 00:28:41

Don't please the idolaters

00:28:42 --> 00:28:43

at the punishment

00:28:44 --> 00:28:46

of those who worship you alone.

00:28:48 --> 00:28:48

Oh Allah,

00:28:49 --> 00:28:51

do not bring joy to the idolaters

00:28:52 --> 00:28:53

at the punishment

00:28:54 --> 00:28:56

of those you worship alone. Meaning,

00:28:56 --> 00:28:57

don't punish us.

00:28:58 --> 00:29:00

We know the only prophet, the only prophet

00:29:00 --> 00:29:02

who knows he will not be punished is

00:29:02 --> 00:29:05

Sayidina Muhammad salallahu alaihi wasalam. All of the

00:29:05 --> 00:29:07

other prophets, they didn't know that. That's why

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

in the long hadith and bukhari,

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

when those people will come to all of

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

the prophets and ask them for intercession,

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

they will say I did this, I did

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

this, I would I did this,

00:29:19 --> 00:29:19

I did this,

00:29:20 --> 00:29:21

I did this.

00:29:21 --> 00:29:23

But when they come to say the Mohammed

00:29:23 --> 00:29:25

sallallahu alaihi wa arihi was salam,

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

and they asked the prophet for Shifa'atul

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

Kubra,

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

the great intersection.

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

Say the Mohammed sallallahu alaihi wasallam will say,

00:29:35 --> 00:29:37

that's my job. Because he knows Allah

00:29:42 --> 00:29:44

That Allah has forgiven him of all his

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

sins.

00:29:48 --> 00:29:50

So, say, the Ibrahim, he didn't know that.

00:29:50 --> 00:29:51

So he

00:29:58 --> 00:29:59

said, Oh Allah, do not

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

bring happiness to the idolaters

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

by punishing those who are not idolaters with

00:30:04 --> 00:30:05

them.

00:30:10 --> 00:30:12

The next hadith of Shum Sayna Abu Hafs,

00:30:14 --> 00:30:16

who's talking about Umrah ibn Dar.

00:30:17 --> 00:30:18

Umr ibn Dar was one of the famous

00:30:18 --> 00:30:19

earlier Muslims,

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

who

00:30:22 --> 00:30:23

when he would recite

00:30:23 --> 00:30:25

the verse in the Quran,

00:30:27 --> 00:30:28

in the 16th chapter of the Quran

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

verse number 38.

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

Allah

00:30:33 --> 00:30:34

says

00:30:34 --> 00:30:36

that they say, we swear

00:30:38 --> 00:30:40

by Allah, our most solemn

00:30:40 --> 00:30:41

oath.

00:30:42 --> 00:30:43

He's talking about the hypocrites

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

that Allah will not resurrect the dead.

00:30:50 --> 00:30:51

That's the statement of the

00:30:57 --> 00:30:59

Kufar. They used to swear with all their

00:30:59 --> 00:31:01

might. Allah will never

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

resurrect a dead. That's the kufa.

00:31:14 --> 00:31:15

He says, we,

00:31:16 --> 00:31:17

as believers,

00:31:18 --> 00:31:19

we swear

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

about all of our might

00:31:22 --> 00:31:23

that Allah

00:31:24 --> 00:31:26

will indeed resurrect

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

those

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

who

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

have died. Again, for people asking questions in

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

the comments,

00:31:35 --> 00:31:36

you wanna kind of think of this like

00:31:36 --> 00:31:39

a classroom. Like, would you just blurt out

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

this kind of question in a classroom?

00:31:41 --> 00:31:44

You wouldn't. So for me, it's very important

00:31:44 --> 00:31:46

that we listen, and then we can comment

00:31:46 --> 00:31:47

about what we hear. We can react to

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

it. And then afterwards, we can ask questions.

00:31:50 --> 00:31:51

But we wanna think about one of the

00:31:51 --> 00:31:53

adab actually, I think now of seeking knowledge

00:31:54 --> 00:31:55

within the age of Instagram

00:31:56 --> 00:31:57

is is to stay focused

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

on what's being taught. And then at the

00:32:00 --> 00:32:02

end, if you have any questions, you can

00:32:02 --> 00:32:04

send them to the q and a.

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

We have an available for you, or inshallah,

00:32:08 --> 00:32:09

we'll try to take time for you. But

00:32:09 --> 00:32:11

let's try to stay focused to make sure

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

we're listening. One of my teachers, I used

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

to write everything, he

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

Subhanallah. Was very merciful to me. I was

00:32:18 --> 00:32:20

very young. I used to write everything he

00:32:20 --> 00:32:20

said.

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

And then he said to me, why do

00:32:23 --> 00:32:24

you write everything you say?

00:32:25 --> 00:32:26

And I said, I write everything I say

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

so I can know what you said. And

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

he said, but if I'm saying to it

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

if I'm saying it to you now, why

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

do you need to know it again? You

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

know what I mean? Like, I'm saying it

00:32:35 --> 00:32:37

now. Like, you you pay a more attention

00:32:37 --> 00:32:39

to the writing than to listen to me.

00:32:39 --> 00:32:40

No. We don't need to turn off the

00:32:40 --> 00:32:43

comments because people, they wanna react and share

00:32:43 --> 00:32:45

and wear a beautiful community and a beautiful

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

ummah. But just, you know, sometimes we need

00:32:47 --> 00:32:49

to also create a little classroom management

00:32:50 --> 00:32:51

classroom management.

00:32:53 --> 00:32:55

Instagram is blowing up tonight. Wow. It's great

00:32:55 --> 00:32:58

to see you guys. Much love to you.

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

Super proud of everybody. The questions that you

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

guys are sending, man.

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

This year, I'm really trying to answer questions

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

that have never been answered before.

00:33:07 --> 00:33:08

And, subhanallah,

00:33:09 --> 00:33:10

they they

00:33:11 --> 00:33:14

they're good questions. We we are good ummah,

00:33:14 --> 00:33:15

beautiful ummah.

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

So Umar ibn Dar, he said

00:33:23 --> 00:33:24

that we believe

00:33:25 --> 00:33:27

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is going to resurrect

00:33:27 --> 00:33:28

the dead. They believe

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

that Allah is not gonna resurrect the dead.

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

And so then he said, Masha'Allah.

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

Oh Allah, oh Allah,

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

don't join us together with them.

00:33:40 --> 00:33:41

Oh Allah.

00:33:42 --> 00:33:45

Don't don't join us together with them. That's

00:33:45 --> 00:33:47

okay, brother. If you have ADHD, man, you

00:33:47 --> 00:33:50

ask any questions you wanna ask. You comment

00:33:50 --> 00:33:52

any comment you wanna make. I have ADHD,

00:33:52 --> 00:33:53

man.

00:33:53 --> 00:33:55

So I know I know how it is,

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

and we love you, bro. Don't even worry

00:33:58 --> 00:33:59

about it. Feel free.

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

Don't worry. I I want you to be

00:34:02 --> 00:34:04

here and want you to know we love

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

you, man. So don't worry about it.

00:34:07 --> 00:34:09

Just be you. Enjoy.

00:34:09 --> 00:34:12

So, Abu Dara, he said, those

00:34:12 --> 00:34:13

those

00:34:13 --> 00:34:14

disbelievers

00:34:14 --> 00:34:17

who say Allah will never resurrect the dead,

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

but we we say you will resurrect the

00:34:19 --> 00:34:22

dead. Oh, Allah, don't don't put us with

00:34:22 --> 00:34:22

them.

00:34:23 --> 00:34:25

Our belief is different. And then he begin

00:34:25 --> 00:34:26

to weep

00:34:27 --> 00:34:28

because of his hope

00:34:29 --> 00:34:30

and the sign that Allah

00:34:30 --> 00:34:33

had guided him away from the actions of

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

the people of *.

00:34:36 --> 00:34:38

The next narration we wanna finish quickly because

00:34:38 --> 00:34:39

of time Mansoor

00:34:40 --> 00:34:41

ibn Ujajj.

00:34:42 --> 00:34:43

Again narrating on

00:34:44 --> 00:34:45

Umar ibn Dar.

00:34:47 --> 00:34:49

Listen to this state. Umar ibn Dar, he

00:34:49 --> 00:34:50

said in

00:34:57 --> 00:35:00

He said that I'm not, I'm not angry

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

at all, man. You need to need to

00:35:02 --> 00:35:04

chill, man. Focus on yourself, bro.

00:35:05 --> 00:35:06

So say,

00:35:07 --> 00:35:09

he said very beautifully

00:35:10 --> 00:35:12

that with my lord,

00:35:12 --> 00:35:13

I have 22

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

hopes.

00:35:15 --> 00:35:16

2 hopes.

00:35:21 --> 00:35:22

The first hope

00:35:22 --> 00:35:24

is that Allah will not punish me in

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

the fire.

00:35:27 --> 00:35:30

And if he punishes me, my second hope,

00:35:36 --> 00:35:38

And my second hope is that if Allah

00:35:38 --> 00:35:39

subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:35:40 --> 00:35:41

he punishes me,

00:35:41 --> 00:35:43

that he does not leave me there

00:35:44 --> 00:35:46

with those who have associated partners with him.

00:35:47 --> 00:35:48

So he said very beautifully

00:35:49 --> 00:35:50

and very nicely.

00:35:55 --> 00:35:55

I have

00:35:58 --> 00:36:00

I I have 2 hope with Allah.

00:36:01 --> 00:36:03

Everyone should stop right now, and you can

00:36:03 --> 00:36:04

share it in the comments.

00:36:05 --> 00:36:07

What is your hope with Allah?

00:36:07 --> 00:36:08

Just like 1.

00:36:10 --> 00:36:11

He had 2.

00:36:13 --> 00:36:15

My hope is that my children will be

00:36:15 --> 00:36:15

from.

00:36:16 --> 00:36:17

That's my hope.

00:36:18 --> 00:36:19

So I shared mine.

00:36:19 --> 00:36:21

What is your hope with Allah tonight

00:36:22 --> 00:36:23

as you hear the statement?

00:36:24 --> 00:36:25

You know? Of Abu

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

Dar

00:36:29 --> 00:36:30

I have

00:36:30 --> 00:36:31

2 hopes with Allah.

00:36:32 --> 00:36:33

Forgiveness.

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

May Allah

00:36:34 --> 00:36:35

grant you forgiveness.

00:36:38 --> 00:36:39

May Allah

00:36:39 --> 00:36:41

make us from the people of contentment.

00:36:42 --> 00:36:44

One of my teachers, he was blind, you

00:36:44 --> 00:36:45

know, Sheikh Alisaleh.

00:36:45 --> 00:36:47

He was he was blind.

00:36:47 --> 00:36:48

He used to tell me,

00:36:54 --> 00:36:55

used to say to me that

00:36:57 --> 00:36:59

of Allah is Jannah in this world.

00:36:59 --> 00:37:01

Like to have rida, to be content with

00:37:01 --> 00:37:03

Allah. So may Allah

00:37:04 --> 00:37:06

grant you rida.

00:37:07 --> 00:37:09

Someone said the same as me. To save

00:37:09 --> 00:37:11

me from the grave, You

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

Allah

00:37:23 --> 00:37:23

to

00:37:24 --> 00:37:26

to save us from the punishment of the

00:37:26 --> 00:37:28

graven. All's we have to do is to

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

see

00:37:31 --> 00:37:32

Allah.

00:37:33 --> 00:37:34

Yeah.

00:37:35 --> 00:37:36

Allah

00:37:36 --> 00:37:38

honor us to see him. That he will

00:37:38 --> 00:37:40

save me from the hellfire and I will

00:37:40 --> 00:37:42

love with all my loved ones in Jannah.

00:37:42 --> 00:37:43

To

00:37:44 --> 00:37:46

receive every drop of Allah's mercy.

00:37:48 --> 00:37:50

For me and my family. So many people

00:37:50 --> 00:37:52

wrote forgiveness, tranquility,

00:37:54 --> 00:37:54

focus,

00:37:55 --> 00:37:56

subhanallah

00:37:57 --> 00:37:57

subhanallah

00:37:58 --> 00:37:58

subhanallah,

00:37:59 --> 00:37:59

it's incredible.

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

All these these hopeful people. How could anyone

00:38:03 --> 00:38:04

think the ummah of the prophet

00:38:06 --> 00:38:07

is not on goodness?

00:38:07 --> 00:38:09

Look at these beautiful responses, man.

00:38:10 --> 00:38:11

Subhanallah, it's it's like incredible.

00:38:14 --> 00:38:18

My my my brother, doctor Rasool Miller, ask

00:38:18 --> 00:38:19

Allah

00:38:26 --> 00:38:27

Doctor Rasul Miller.

00:38:30 --> 00:38:31

To guide your mother, to guide my father.

00:38:33 --> 00:38:35

And all of brothers and sisters who've embraced

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

Islam, who have family members who are not

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

Muslim,

00:38:39 --> 00:38:41

whether they have embraced Islam or not. May

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

Allah

00:38:42 --> 00:38:43

guide them

00:38:44 --> 00:38:45

inshallah.

00:38:46 --> 00:38:49

The next narration, 17th narration, Wabil Isnat

00:38:51 --> 00:38:52

from Sayna

00:38:53 --> 00:38:55

al Badri. He narrates again,

00:38:55 --> 00:38:58

Omar Ibn Dar was on Hajj.

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

And people, they saw Omar Ibindar,

00:39:03 --> 00:39:05

who was a famous person. You know?

00:39:06 --> 00:39:07

I heard from my teacher from

00:39:09 --> 00:39:10

when Sheikh Ibrahim Niass,

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

Rahim,

00:39:13 --> 00:39:14

when he went to Hajj,

00:39:15 --> 00:39:17

he told me the whole Hajj almost shut

00:39:17 --> 00:39:18

down.

00:39:20 --> 00:39:22

So many people went to meet

00:39:22 --> 00:39:24

him, and he led the Hajj. He was

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

from synagogue.

00:39:26 --> 00:39:27

But because

00:39:27 --> 00:39:28

Allah

00:39:28 --> 00:39:29

loved him,

00:39:30 --> 00:39:32

the people, they loved him.

00:39:33 --> 00:39:35

So he was from and he led the

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

Hajj,

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

subhanAllah, before the disease of nationalism and

00:39:40 --> 00:39:42

post colonial racism and

00:39:43 --> 00:39:44

all this nonsense

00:39:44 --> 00:39:47

Eurocentrism and white supremacy came into the hearts

00:39:47 --> 00:39:49

of the Muslim. We used to be a

00:39:49 --> 00:39:49

very fluid,

00:39:50 --> 00:39:51

simple community.

00:39:52 --> 00:39:54

We didn't have this the complications of shirk

00:39:54 --> 00:39:56

related to racial identity.

00:39:58 --> 00:40:01

But Sayna Umar ibn Dar, when he was

00:40:01 --> 00:40:03

on Hajj, the people they saw him.

00:40:04 --> 00:40:06

And they started to go to him, and

00:40:06 --> 00:40:07

they said to him, make dua.

00:40:10 --> 00:40:11

And he said,

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

Oh, Allah.

00:40:29 --> 00:40:30

Oh, Allah.

00:40:31 --> 00:40:33

Have mercy upon. He's talking about the Muslim

00:40:34 --> 00:40:37

people who from the time you have created

00:40:37 --> 00:40:39

them to now, they have been on the.

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

They are on the state of those magicians

00:40:43 --> 00:40:44

who saw the haqq

00:40:44 --> 00:40:47

when Sayidna Musa's staff turned

00:40:48 --> 00:40:50

into a snake. Because to be Muslim

00:40:50 --> 00:40:52

is every day to see the miracle of

00:40:52 --> 00:40:55

Sayna Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa'arihi wasallam.

00:40:58 --> 00:40:59

The next narration is

00:41:03 --> 00:41:04

from As we finish,

00:41:05 --> 00:41:06

he says, we were with the messenger of

00:41:06 --> 00:41:09

Allah, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,

00:41:09 --> 00:41:11

and we came upon some captives.

00:41:12 --> 00:41:13

And amongst them was a pregnant

00:41:14 --> 00:41:14

a a woman

00:41:15 --> 00:41:16

who was

00:41:16 --> 00:41:18

just had it was obvious that she was

00:41:18 --> 00:41:19

still breastfeeding.

00:41:20 --> 00:41:22

And she was searching

00:41:22 --> 00:41:23

frantically

00:41:24 --> 00:41:25

for her child.

00:41:26 --> 00:41:28

You know, I lost my child in the

00:41:28 --> 00:41:29

store before.

00:41:30 --> 00:41:31

I've lost my child in the grocery store.

00:41:31 --> 00:41:33

Even I lost my child one time at

00:41:33 --> 00:41:34

the masjid.

00:41:34 --> 00:41:35

I became so

00:41:36 --> 00:41:38

scared. Today, my wife, she FaceTimed me from

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

the D and S Center in Washington DC.

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

That's such a beautiful iftar over there. And

00:41:43 --> 00:41:45

my 2 year old was with her. And

00:41:45 --> 00:41:47

immediately, even though it's on FaceTime, I didn't

00:41:47 --> 00:41:49

see my 2 year old, I start to

00:41:49 --> 00:41:51

get nervous. Where's Ayla?

00:41:52 --> 00:41:53

Where's the baby?

00:41:54 --> 00:41:54

Can you imagine

00:41:55 --> 00:41:57

if we lost our child in a battle?

00:41:58 --> 00:41:59

An infant?

00:42:01 --> 00:42:03

So Sayyidina Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallamah

00:42:05 --> 00:42:07

was with his companions,

00:42:08 --> 00:42:10

and they saw that woman running and suddenly

00:42:10 --> 00:42:11

she found her baby and she began to

00:42:11 --> 00:42:13

breastfeed this baby,

00:42:13 --> 00:42:14

and she became complacent.

00:42:15 --> 00:42:17

She was placated by

00:42:17 --> 00:42:20

the fact that she discovered her child.

00:42:21 --> 00:42:22

The Sahaba

00:42:23 --> 00:42:26

sitting with the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa'arihi wasallam,

00:42:26 --> 00:42:27

he said,

00:42:33 --> 00:42:35

He said to them, do you think that

00:42:35 --> 00:42:37

that woman could toss this baby into the

00:42:37 --> 00:42:38

fire?

00:42:39 --> 00:42:40

They said, well, Lai,

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

that's impossible.

00:42:44 --> 00:42:47

Even though she could, that's impossible. She would

00:42:47 --> 00:42:48

never do that.

00:42:49 --> 00:42:50

The prophet

00:42:51 --> 00:42:51

said,

00:42:58 --> 00:43:01

The prophet said, Allah is more merciful to

00:43:01 --> 00:43:02

his servants

00:43:02 --> 00:43:04

than this woman is to this baby.

00:43:06 --> 00:43:07

Allah.

00:43:10 --> 00:43:12

Some of us we're destroying ourselves

00:43:13 --> 00:43:14

because we let sin

00:43:15 --> 00:43:17

crush us and break us in half.

00:43:18 --> 00:43:19

But we should remember this narration,

00:43:29 --> 00:43:30

is more merciful

00:43:30 --> 00:43:33

to his servants than this woman she is

00:43:33 --> 00:43:34

with her child.

00:43:34 --> 00:43:35

The next hadith

00:43:36 --> 00:43:37

is from

00:43:40 --> 00:43:42

And this hadith is related by Bukhari, the

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

last hadith also.

00:43:44 --> 00:43:45

The Sahid.

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

At the prophet

00:43:56 --> 00:43:58

said That

00:43:59 --> 00:44:00

if the believers

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

knew the extent

00:44:02 --> 00:44:04

of Allah's punishment in the hereafter,

00:44:06 --> 00:44:07

nobody will hope for Jannah.

00:44:20 --> 00:44:21

And if

00:44:22 --> 00:44:23

if a disbeliever

00:44:25 --> 00:44:25

knew

00:44:26 --> 00:44:28

the extent of Allah's mercy,

00:44:30 --> 00:44:33

they will never despair of entering Jannah.

00:44:34 --> 00:44:36

Subhanallah, even though they're disbelievers.

00:44:47 --> 00:44:49

If any of the believers really knew

00:44:50 --> 00:44:51

encompassed

00:44:52 --> 00:44:53

Allah's punishment,

00:44:53 --> 00:44:55

nobody will hope in Jannah.

00:45:02 --> 00:45:04

And if a kafar, a disbeliever,

00:45:05 --> 00:45:07

knew the extent of Allah's mercy,

00:45:09 --> 00:45:11

none of them will fear hellfire.

00:45:12 --> 00:45:14

None of them will despair of that.

00:45:15 --> 00:45:16

That they

00:45:16 --> 00:45:19

Allah is so so much mercy

00:45:21 --> 00:45:22

The last narration for the night as we

00:45:22 --> 00:45:24

finish, we come upon our hour inshallah,

00:45:26 --> 00:45:28

is a long narration from Abu Ahmed

00:45:30 --> 00:45:32

who mentions that they were on a a

00:45:32 --> 00:45:34

mission with the messenger of Allah

00:45:34 --> 00:45:36

and here for those of you in in

00:45:36 --> 00:45:38

worried about environmental justice,

00:45:39 --> 00:45:41

listen to this narration. You know, the Quran

00:45:41 --> 00:45:42

eludes to environmental

00:45:43 --> 00:45:46

justice in different ways. It says, for example,

00:45:48 --> 00:45:50

that the heavens and the earth will not

00:45:50 --> 00:45:51

cry for pharaoh

00:45:52 --> 00:45:54

and his army. Why? Because and his army,

00:45:54 --> 00:45:56

they didn't know how to treat the earth

00:45:56 --> 00:45:56

with justice.

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

Abu Ahmed, he says that the prophet they

00:46:04 --> 00:46:05

were with this man,

00:46:05 --> 00:46:07

they were, with a group of people,

00:46:08 --> 00:46:09

and suddenly one of the companions of the

00:46:09 --> 00:46:11

prophet, he came back with a little chick,

00:46:14 --> 00:46:15

a small chicken.

00:46:15 --> 00:46:16

A chick, Yani.

00:46:17 --> 00:46:19

And suddenly, the prophet could hear

00:46:20 --> 00:46:22

the mother of that chick

00:46:23 --> 00:46:24

upset

00:46:26 --> 00:46:27

and even chasing the men.

00:46:29 --> 00:46:31

And finally, the men, he came to the

00:46:31 --> 00:46:32

messenger of Allah.

00:46:38 --> 00:46:39

And he said to the people,

00:46:45 --> 00:46:47

He said to the people, are you are

00:46:47 --> 00:46:49

you amazed at how merciful this mother is

00:46:49 --> 00:46:50

with her chick?

00:47:01 --> 00:47:03

Prophet said Allah is more merciful to his

00:47:03 --> 00:47:05

servants than this mother is with this chick,

00:47:05 --> 00:47:07

and then he ordered this man to put

00:47:07 --> 00:47:08

it back.

00:47:09 --> 00:47:11

Because Sayidam Muhammad

00:47:14 --> 00:47:16

Sayidam Muhammad is a mercy to all things,

00:47:17 --> 00:47:19

to everything he was around. To the tree

00:47:19 --> 00:47:21

stump, it cried when the prophet stopped giving

00:47:21 --> 00:47:23

its chutba. When he would hold sand, it

00:47:23 --> 00:47:26

would make tasbih sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. The

00:47:26 --> 00:47:28

trees, they used to send salaam to him.

00:47:28 --> 00:47:30

Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. The stones in Meccans,

00:47:30 --> 00:47:31

all authentic,

00:47:31 --> 00:47:34

used to send salawat to him. Assalamu alaikum.

00:47:36 --> 00:47:37

And now

00:47:37 --> 00:47:38

we see the prophet

00:47:39 --> 00:47:40

even with a hen.

00:47:42 --> 00:47:44

He's exercising his mercy

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

and teaching us the great mercy of Allah.

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

We're gonna stop now.

00:47:49 --> 00:47:51

We've arrived at our 1 hour. We're gonna

00:47:51 --> 00:47:53

try to make it shorter and shorter and

00:47:53 --> 00:47:55

shorter and shorter inshallah. This, of course, is

00:47:55 --> 00:47:56

not the place to answer questions.

00:47:57 --> 00:47:58

We have a

00:47:58 --> 00:47:59

place

00:47:59 --> 00:48:00

to answer questions.

00:48:02 --> 00:48:04

I love the fact that you're so excited

00:48:04 --> 00:48:06

when I ask questions and I know sometimes

00:48:06 --> 00:48:08

it's hard to get to everybody's questions.

00:48:09 --> 00:48:11

I think today is around a 1,000 questions,

00:48:11 --> 00:48:13

man. A 1,000 questions.

00:48:15 --> 00:48:17

And I'm only 1 person everybody, and my

00:48:17 --> 00:48:19

knowledge is limited.

00:48:19 --> 00:48:21

So a lot of things I don't know

00:48:21 --> 00:48:23

the answers for. My apologies.

00:48:23 --> 00:48:24

May Allah

00:48:25 --> 00:48:26

increase us in

00:48:26 --> 00:48:28

here. Yes. So,

00:48:30 --> 00:48:32

I don't know how to say your last

00:48:32 --> 00:48:34

name. Sorry. But as she said, we're trying

00:48:34 --> 00:48:37

to get to 500 subscribers at my school.

00:48:37 --> 00:48:39

This is how we teach at my school.

00:48:40 --> 00:48:42

We teach text like this, and we try

00:48:42 --> 00:48:43

to build people's confidence

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

and hope

00:48:45 --> 00:48:46

in that

00:48:46 --> 00:48:47

leads to responsibility.

And I love the name because you and

00:49:14 --> 00:49:15

I know generationally

00:49:15 --> 00:49:16

what that name means.

00:49:18 --> 00:49:20

But, yeah, if someone can put it in

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

the comments,

00:49:21 --> 00:49:22

dot com.

00:49:22 --> 00:49:24

We'll end with dua. Ask Allah

00:49:28 --> 00:49:31

We ask Allah about all of his names

00:49:31 --> 00:49:33

and attributes to grant us Jannah.

00:49:34 --> 00:49:35

We ask Allah

00:49:35 --> 00:49:37

to be pleased with us. We ask

00:49:39 --> 00:49:39

Allah

00:49:40 --> 00:49:41

to give us

00:49:42 --> 00:49:42

and

00:49:43 --> 00:49:44

we ask Allah

00:49:44 --> 00:49:45

to unite us with the prophet

00:49:46 --> 00:49:48

We ask to love to forgive any of

00:49:48 --> 00:49:51

our beloved family or friends that have passed

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

away.

00:49:52 --> 00:49:53

We ask Allah

00:49:54 --> 00:49:55

to unite us

00:49:57 --> 00:49:58

with. Ask

00:49:58 --> 00:50:00

to give us iman and to give us

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

patience

00:50:01 --> 00:50:03

in dealing with one another and to bring

00:50:03 --> 00:50:03

the

00:50:04 --> 00:50:06

back to higher.

00:50:13 --> 00:50:16

Yes. This is recorded, and it's every night

00:50:16 --> 00:50:18

around 11:30 EST time.

00:50:19 --> 00:50:20

And

00:50:20 --> 00:50:21

we'll see you guys

00:50:21 --> 00:50:22
