			our man Luna welcome, Luke on Salam on Marilyn come learn about w j healing Sadhak Allahu Allah
Aleem. So we're still discussing the amazing qualities and attributes of these people of the book.
We spoke about the fact that how they embrace both their scriptures, and for them is a dual reward.
They were completing their Aqeedah and they believe likewise, they were outstanding and sublime in
their character. You're the owner Bill has sanity say, if somebody was nasty to them, they would not
stoop so low, they would not reciprocate in a like manner they would rise above they would give a
good response, a polite response, when we madrasa now whom UniFi code and they spend from that which
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:50
			Allah has given them. And we spoke about the latter portion of the ayah speak that they will free

Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to hungry wolves reflect over the words to hungry wolves,
right that are released in a flock of sheep. They will not cause so much harm to that sheep as much
as the grave of wealth and the grave of fame will cause to the Imam of a person.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:02:30
			The Prophet sallallahu wasallam did not say to wolves, he said to hungry wolves. And then he did not
say wealth and fame. He said the crave of wealth and fame and all this I read in the writings of
Hakimullah OMA Rahim Allah, so wealth if it comes and you're not craving for it, and fame if it
comes from the Almighty and you are not desperate for it, then this is the bounty from Allah in the
Latina Amanullah Amina sorry Heidi, so yeah, I don't know whom Rama and who woulda those who obey
Allah and do righteous deeds Allah will instill the love in the hearts of people. Allah spoke about

Come on, doesn't mention in Messiah salute that the equity to own wealth right up to the treasures
and to have prominence right up to leadership is not against the station of Naboo as long as you're
not seeking it in Nala in Allah Nesta amela Allah Amelie Melina mon Radha in gnarliness Tamila Allah
I'm Elena mon Harada. We will not delegate a boast to anyone who seek in the post. So if Allah is
giving you the prominence and you're not seeking the prominence then this is a Nana from Allah. So
		
00:03:18 --> 00:04:00
			while Yatra ownable has an artist say they resist evil in a good manner means they are free from her
bad job. They are not there to preserve the ego and to protect their self esteem. And you know, of
course, we're not saying that you must humiliate yourself preservation of dignity is important. But
often today, because a person's ego has been trampled, or he's been told something and he is wrong
about it, he is wrong about it, but he finds it too difficult to accept the truth. Why is our Tila
Tequila 102 Larissa two A and nacwa often has been charade who was this disbelief I'm gonna fit
whenever he was told something fear Allah, he would feel offended, he would feel violated.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:44
			Furthermore, in verse 55, Allah subhanaw taala speaks about yet a another salient quality of these
people of the book. So as I mentioned, according to the narration of Mohammed bin is hot. It was the
delegation that had come from Africa from us Hama, and they came they met with the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and you know, he said, Allahu alayhi wa sallam received them very well.
In fact, in one book in bubble Mocha, I read the Prophet sallallahu wasallam stood up to personally
receive them. So the Sahaba said, Lo Tarak Tana Cafe now KR rasool Allah, Allah be of Allah set down
we will attend to these guests, and he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in the home gern only as
		
00:04:44 --> 00:05:00
			hobby mockery mean in the home Gan only as hobby mockery mean they honored my companions when my
Sahaba took shelter that we know the first migration had taken place to Africa, and then
subsequently to Medina. So the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:42
			acknowledge the fact that Africa had hosted, housed accommodated, received the Sahaba and he
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam stood up to acknowledge them. So when they came, and they embrace the
truth, and then they also realized that the economic condition of the Sahaba was not too good. So
they also generously spent and donated and contributed. So people started making remarks that as
believers, I mean, you just come on the first instance you see a man, you just embrace his faith,
you just take to his teachings, and you just spend generously like strange of you people. So in
verse 55, Allah says, What either semi Allah, Allah, and when they heard futility, and when they
		
00:05:42 --> 00:06:28
			heard vain talk when they heard nonsense, when they had people say nasty things, or adore and who
they moved aside, they continued, they ignored what Carlu and they said Lana, Amma Luna, welcome
Arma LUCAM. We will be responsible for our actions and you will be liable for your actions. You will
not be held accountable for what we do and we will not be held accountable for what you do. Lana
Maradona, welcome LUCAM Salam aleikum, we greet you. Of course this is not the greeting of peace
that says salam ala Mata raka Imam Abu Bakr just sauce has made Surat on this year is mentioned this
year categorically in his Afghan will Quran. salam ala Mutharika means we parted ways. Listen, I
		
00:06:28 --> 00:07:11
			don't want to get in your space. Don't come in my space. Don't get under my skin. You know what me
and you don't have a dialogue in place. We don't have a dialogue in place. When Satana Ibrahim
alayhis salam conveyed the message to his father ASAN and his father was hostile and was an
adversity and was uncouth then he said salaam guna Lake Oh my dad, I greet you and I'm leaving had
our Salah ml Rob O'Neill earlier what the lactiful Abrar mine Johal ilaha illallah wa salam will rob
O'Neill earlier. This was a salaam of turning away and moving on what Allah TOEFL Abrar managed
Johan, and it's also a reflection of the dignified communication of the noble and the pious with
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:59
			people that are naive, foolish and belligerent. Allah subhanaw taala told the prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam was better Allah ma Jaco Luna wa Jerome Hedren, Jamila or Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam move on in a beautiful way move on in a beautiful way ignore them and move on. So
in life you always gonna get people that's gonna hurt things, say nasty things make comments. Are we
living up to the demand of the Quran of what Jerome had drawn? Jamila leave them in a beautiful way.
One is you move away. And then you heard something you say something nasty, you type out something,
you know what you come across in a sarcastic way? No, no. Why do rowhome hydron Jamila respond, I
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:43
			mean, leave them and move in a beautiful way. So we're in a semi or Lavoie when they hear futility
or nonsense or somebody say nasty things to them. They say Lana Armando. Now salaam aleikum. We
spoke about the academics and Metallica, Metallica is from Johnny bein MUFA Allah meaning, you know,
leave me alone, and I'll leave you alone. I really don't want to get into the space. And from this
we learn. The scholars have said that when you see a person is adamant on his ignorance and his
persistent on his waves, then move on because it's counterproductive it's counterproductive law.
Learn number vilja Helene, we do not want to engage with foolish people. We've got nothing to
		
00:08:43 --> 00:09:26
			discuss. We've got nothing to discuss. So they were not deterred. Their spirits were not dampened.
They were not intimidated by the comments, the remarks, the observations, the slurs of their phones,
they enemies, they adversities, they kept focused, they reverted to the dean and they spent
generously and they they they embrace the truth. May Allah subhanaw taala bless us with this
character bless us with this character. So that kind of concludes the discussion of the People of
the Book. And that's the beauty of Islam. Allah subhanho wa Taala praises and acknowledges women al
Kitab, a man into a man who will be comparing you at the lake. Some from amongst these people are so
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:59
			honest, so trustworthy, give them an entire treasure and they will return it to you in every penny
and every cent in verse 56. Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about an incident that was of course
very, very emotional to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam again, I must say, You know what,
admire the rubbed, that has been captured in biannual Quran. So verse 56. Just an overview of what
is being discussed here. It is regarding
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:00
			In
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:02
			the
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:55
			you know the the disbelief of Abu Talib the fact that Abu Talib did not embrace the deen at Jamal
Mufasa rune at Mohawk people, this is what Xeljanz words is this almost consensus of the scholars
and the narration of Sahih Muslim also indicates in this direction that this verse was regarding Abu
Talib. So what does Allah subhanaw taala say in verse 56, and then I'll tie it up with the rub the
correlation between the preceding verses and this verse in Nicola de mon Babita, O Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, you cannot guide whomsoever you wish. were lacking Allah de mania
sharp. But Allah guides whomsoever He wishes. Were who were aren't alone will build the deen and not
		
00:10:55 --> 00:11:11
			only that, you cannot guide you are unaware of who is guided and who will be guided that is only in
the knowledge of Allah who are Allah and Allah knows best Bill Medina about the guided individual.
So this is not in the knowledge of any human to guide.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:15
			Not so Burano na Sol Purana.
		
00:11:16 --> 00:12:04
			The Quran is quite clear that the guidance of any person lays said to be Yedi Nabi is not in the
hands of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So there are two things in this regard, we have
erotic Pareek and we have a sol Sol Mutlu era to trick is to show the path. And in this regard, of
course, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam guides were in Nicoletta de la Seraphim was the team, the
concluding verses of Surah Surah. And surely you guide to the straight part, meaning you show people
the straight path, and then you have a sol il Mata lube to take the individual to the destination.
This is not in the control of a newbie, and this is what is referenced here, in Nikola Tesla, demon,
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05
			Baba.
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			So we all know
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:59
			that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had this fervent desire and this burning passion for
the guidance of every soul for the guidance of every soul, and of course, his family all the more,
and in particular, his uncle, who was so dear to him, and who stood as a pillar of support for him,
and who you know, who would ward off any attack against the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam they
came to Abu Talib and they said, tell your tell your nephew to stop his message and tell your nephew
to stop inviting people and a bowtie live game and he said oh my nephew this is what people are
saying to me, and he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Lo what Baruch Hashem Sufi Yemeni will come
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:47
			and free your salary Atoka ha ha Umbra Mata Rocco. Oh, my beloved honorable August venerable uncle,
if they were to put the sun meaning all the difficulties in my path or the moon, or the comforts in
my path, and either or, and then asked me to give up, I will not abandon my mission. I will not
abandon my mission. And Abu Talib said and I will defend you till the last breath. And he said,
Allahu alayhi wa sallam said to his uncle, oh, my uncle read the Kadima and I will defend your
cause. And I will intercede for you in Accra. So for a person to qualify for intercession, he has to
have his own passport of eemaan passport of eemaan. Once you have the passport of iman, then yes,
		
00:13:47 --> 00:14:34
			the intercession of the MBR will assess the intercession of the pious there's so many different
levels of Shiva bubble shafa. It appears in the books of Hadith fatale Baris says he's recorded
under the saya and yerba caribou Kumbhakarna muda that there are 10 levels of Shiva and intercession
that will take place we ask Allah to make us amongst the fortunate people who will qualify for the
intercession of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in Yarra behind me. So he said, Allahu
alayhi wa sallam said to his uncle, read the Kenema read the Kelemen What did his uncle say? Well,
aka Alim to be a Nadine and Mohammed Amin hiree idea and you'll bury it D Dena Oh my nephew. I know
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:59
			what certainty that you are a prophet. Right? But as we say, Islam, John Nikana Omnia, Monica Nami,
it is not sheer understanding, but it is embracing of the faith. It is accepting a car Bill Nissan,
the steer to build Jinan, Amelie Bill Archon the articulation with the tongue, the conviction with
the heart and
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:20
			The display with the organs that's the combination of iman. But I'm afraid that people will say I
buckled under pressure, I buckled under pressure, low level Malama. If it wasn't for the fear of
what people would have said, I would have uttered the words and I would have brought comfort to your
eyes.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:16:08
			But he did not utter it. And of course Allah knows best. And we cannot possibly imagine the pain of
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and how emotional I read in rural money and intercede on
Earth for money. The Scholars say that a person should not make the topic of the disbelief of Abu
Talib, a topic of discussion, because there is fear that you will be causing pain to the heart of
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, you will be causing pain to the heart of the Prophet
salAllahu alayhi wasallam. And we don't want to ever cause any pain. Yes, we do not shy away from
the verse nor the commentary of the verse. But we don't make it a point of debate and discussion and
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:50
			deliberation, we limit our discussion to the context of the ayah what was discussed here what was
mentioned here, that's it, beyond the scope, fully sound restrain your tongue, I give a simple
analogy and I've said it to my students in class, as a student, you are serving your teacher, there
is the spiritual transmission taking place. Your teachers son, unfortunately, has succumb to some
wrong advice. You come to the teacher and you say to start, you know what your son Unfortunately,
I've discovered that he is, you know what? committing this crime doing this wrong. The teacher is
aware of it. He says okay, I appreciate the alert. I am conscious, I am aware. Thank you for
		
00:16:50 --> 00:17:33
			alerting me after a period of time you come and repeat it again. Now, that is the brutal truth that
does student you know, the child of the teacher has defaulted. And he is a delinquent and he has
succumb to certain social vices, but by you repeatedly discussing this with the teacher, surely
you're going to cause pain to his heart, you're going to cause pain to his heart. And this is the
regular teacher. And this is a common teacher that we talk in, in in every setup setup. This is the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the greatest human Hyrule basher, nothing you will Ambia so we
should not be discussing this topic unnecessarily. But the balance is where the verse appears with
		
00:17:33 --> 00:18:19
			the discussion presents. We do discuss it in Nicola de mon habita O Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, you cannot guide whomsoever you wish. Well I can Allah Hi yah de Mejia Shah, and we learn
from this. If taking a person to a destination is not in the control of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, then how can one ever imagine that you know what guidance is guaranteed at the
hands of this mentor or the scholar or in the discourses of this person? We can say you know what,
take him to this gathering. Take him to the scholar, hopefully with the grace of Allah, it will have
a profound impact on his heart and Allah will guide him to the truth but that scholar per se or that
		
00:18:19 --> 00:19:05
			gathering per se cannot change his life it can surely show him the direction but guidance comes from
the Almighty well I can Allah yeah he Immacolata demon, Baba. Well I can Allah Hi yah hoo Dee mania
Shah. Well who are Allah mobility Maha dean. And Allah alone knows who will be the guided ones. And
Allah alone knows who are the guided ones. So many times in our life, we observe a person and you
think guidance would never come to this individual. And subhanAllah there is a 360 degree turn. And
Allah has blessed him with Imam and he's reverted to the deen and he's changed his life. The
Magician's in the time of Musa alayhis Salatu was Salam. They came to challenge the Nabhi and then
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:49
			Allah subhanho wa Taala blessed him with iman. Fie Vigouroux el perfil Allah He to Allah Fie,

			as as you know what challenging the truth, and in the evening of that same morning, they were
believers. They will come
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:17

given us. And we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to make us amongst those fortunate people that we leave
this world with iman. Amin, ja LaBelle, Amin.
