BismillahirRahmanir

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

Rahim,

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

in chapter 22

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

verse 41,

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

Allah

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

praising the Sahaba says,

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

The companions are such that if I give

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

them power and authority on the land,

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

they will never abuse power. Instead, they will

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

establish prayer, they will discharge zakat, they will

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

invite towards good and forbid from evil.

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

When we look at the golden era of

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

the Muslims, and in particular the rule of

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

the Khalifa Rashidin,

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

we find the display of such amazing character

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

that in this time and age, it's almost

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

unthinkable and inconceivable.

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

Say, now Amr radiAllahu anhu one day addresses

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

the people by saying,

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

oh people,

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

Any one of you, if you ever observe

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

a defect, mistake, or a folly in me,

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

then you have my absolute blessings and permission

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

to address me, to rebuke me, and to

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

chastise me. So a person stood up from

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

the congregation and he said, oh, Umar, we

00:01:05--> 00:01:08

will do precisely the same. We will challenge

00:01:08--> 00:01:10

you. We will address you. We will rebuke

00:01:10--> 00:01:11

you. Omar

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

then praised the person, thanked him, acknowledged him,

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

and he said, Alhamdulillah

00:01:15--> 00:01:16

he led the

00:01:23--> 00:01:26

I'm so grateful to Allah that there are

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

people within my ranks that will address the

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

wrong of Omar using the very sword of

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

Omar. Can you imagine that?

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

Unthinkable.

00:01:35--> 00:01:38

Imagine today, a manager, a boss, a principal,

00:01:39--> 00:01:41

a person in public office can stand up

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

and say,

00:01:42--> 00:01:45

listen. I am not infallible. I am prone

00:01:45--> 00:01:46

to mistake,

00:01:47--> 00:01:49

and whatever wrong you see within me, please

00:01:49--> 00:01:50

address it with me.

00:01:52--> 00:01:55

Sadly, we live in a time where people

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

will prefer

00:01:56--> 00:01:57

false

00:01:57--> 00:01:57

praises

00:01:58--> 00:01:59

criticism.

00:01:58--> 00:01:59

criticism.
