			The Enterprise so chewing
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			on some
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			of your thoughts on your blog was
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:33
			in
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			your head at the
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:42
			median copy for the most narrated Saturday the annual cost formula
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:54
			I've heard a lot of a lot he was saying a love of the servant boy is the highest Ronnie three of the
copy on notes recorded by us.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			Man phenomenal woman you play
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			a lot
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			was
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:23
			a solo ride a ride, he was lucky he was selling them as a
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			team and my bag
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:33
			today which is the 12th of June
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:39
			2017 corresponding to the 17th of Ramadan 1438
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:46
			We start with the 14 lesson from Janet on balumama and this is an important
		
00:01:47 --> 00:02:31
			because it is a follow up to what we discussed yesterday. Yesterday we talked about the importance
of being loved by Allah subhana wa tada What are those things that you can do that gain the love of
Allah subhana wa Tada. Many people claim that they love a lot. But the issue is not whether you love
love the issue is does Allah love you? How do you know that? What are the things that you can do
that earn a loss of pentacles that is love but that aligns with y'all has specifically stated in the
grind, or has come into sort of the profit is led us to them. They show us that Allah Subhana Allah
loves us. For example, as you know, God says in the Brian in the law that you hit some levena when
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:31
			you hit
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:41
			that Allah loves those who constantly return to Him and repentance to levy when you hit
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:54
			he loves those who purify themselves. So this is the legal side, even me what costs are the
allowable side angle what was one of the 10
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			I shot a number
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:40
			of agenda those 10 know the Prophet sallallaahu salam promised paradise to the famous howdy know
there are many other companions who the prophecy still upset with me in paradise. And in fact, many
of the scholars of Tafseer say that the statement of Allah subhana wa tada were put alone where the
lava newsflash that all of them have been promised a gooseneck which is gentlemen, all of them have
been promised agenda that is all of the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So in
this happy, sad demeanor, we will pass who was one of those 10 who are the 10 who have promised
paradise but rightfully so.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:47
			Okay, so we have the four righteous believers who are who are they
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			who are there
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			on
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			earth man, and I
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			will tell you now we have six left.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:03
			We now
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			allow us promise Paradise by the prophet is
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:21
			not into hiding there are 10 that are famous because they all came in one ad and they were mentioned
and they're virtually spam. Yanni supersedes the virtual all of the other campaigns.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			Follow ha and so they're
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			sad even animal cars.
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:33
			I want
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:36
			to
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			say that was a
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			sad to say
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:51
			sorry.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:52
			We're not
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			sorry.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			All the all of the all of these tests are from the Mojave.
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:21
			They were all from those who were with the property. So I do sampling from the earliest to accept
the slump in Mecca.
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			Sadness, I decided name because it was a
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			What's it? What's his name?
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:42
			I've always What's his name?
		
00:05:46 --> 00:06:06
			All right, that's fine. The issue, the issue here is panela is that most of us, most of us, if we
were to ask our children to name the players on their favorite soccer team, not only could they name
the starters, but they named the guys that never come off the bench.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:43
			And it's important for us as Muslims, these are the ones that are the greatest of the companions of
the Prophet Isaiah select from Sudan, it's important for us to have out of our love for the
companions on the love, ya know, that we at least know who they are, at least know the names of
these 10. The side of me will cause and that actually, that brings us to another point. Why did he
even say this when he said that I heard the Messenger of Allah. So a lot of it was someone said, say
that Allah loves every ad.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:51
			Every ad notice here? Yeah, a lot of times we just translate if there's a person or something like
that.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:55
			But here, Alaska has a different meaning.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:28
			Because it shows your servitude to a loss of paradise. And this is a recurring theme as well. And
that is that when you are a slave of Allah subhanaw taala, you won't be asleep to anything else. And
this is part of this book that we're covering, which is keytab Desert, the book of Zohar to abstain
from that which is not going to benefit you and the hereafter. So, that is not to be attached to the
dunya. So he loves every slave that is what you need, you configure the proxy Sallam said,
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:48
			every ad that is tepee. pious is how they translate. We'll talk about that in a minute inshallah
bunny which means that he is content, self supervised. And Kofi will stay translated as unnoticed,
but also to be translated as secluded which we'll come to know why didn't even mention this hobby.
		
00:07:50 --> 00:08:03
			It's for the last part for that last word, Kofi, that he is unnoticed, or that he is secluded. This
had he was actually narrated by the son of size of benevolent cost, his name is Omar.
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:11
			And what happened was, after a man with the low tide and who was killed.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:24
			As you know, there was a difference of opinion amongst the companions about how to handle his
murder. How should they deal with the murderers.
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:32
			So as you know, the alone size and rule was a wonderful beginning, he became the Khalifa obviously.
And Malia
		
00:08:35 --> 00:09:04
			had a different opinion. And both of them had their followers. Malia was in Syria at the time. And
both of them had their followers and there was a fitna confusion and turmoil that happened amongst
the companions. And that was fueled by not the contents by some of them who came after them. And
then the people that did not meet the Prophet it aside to saying okay to a sand Lake, and they feel
the the flames of that.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:51
			And some of the companions were in the camp of it on the level of Thailand, or some of them were in
the camp of Maui, or the along with China. And, and as we mentioned previously, all of the campaigns
were promised paradise. And from the way of Alison, Noel Jamal is that we don't mention the
companions in a bad light, even if they made a mistake, then we can say they were mistaken in that,
but not to the point that we begin to curse them, or we take sides or something like this. They are
all companions of the messenger of a survival scenario. And they all play the role of making sure
that this theme was preserved to the generation that came after them all the way up until this
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:52
			generation.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:10:00
			Some of the companions however, didn't go into either camp because because
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:05
			They didn't, it wasn't clear to them which camp was the right camp.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:17
			I mean, which of them was right? the opinion of it or the opinion of China and also they stopped
inside them, and it will cost was one of them who stopped.
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:28
			He said, my example in the example of those with me who stayed out of the, you know, the fitna, I
got the loving
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:36
			companions. He said, our example is like those who are walking upon the path, the well lit path.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:44
			And then all of the sudden, all of a sudden, everything went black.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:51
			So some of those who were with us said, this is the right way.
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:58
			And some of those who were with this said, this is the right way, Danny, each one of them did what
he had.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:10
			And the Prophet alayhi salatu, Salam mentioned that he had a person who was qualified to do it, he
had to put forth his opinion in the knee,
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:16
			what's his best effort forth, and he makes a mistake, he still gets a reward.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:38
			And if he is correct, then he gets to rewards, he gets a reward for putting forth that effort to try
to determine what was right. And he also gets a reward for being right. So some of the companions
said, this is the right way. And others said that is the right way that others have a stance, and
they said, wait for the lights to come back on so that we can see the path.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:12:07
			So sorry, if I said that, our example is like the example of those who just said, Stop, wait for the
lights to come back on inside rhodiola root, Andrew went out to where the lactic which is a valley
west of the profits message like this direction, right? Because this is north in the south. If you
were to go out this way for about three or four miles or so you would get to where the LRP
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:15
			at that time that was considered to be outside of Medina, it was desert. And he just went out and he
was with his cameras,
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:24
			secluded coffee, secluded. And as he was there that day,
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:31
			you know milking his camels tending to his to his camels, he saw someone approached.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:48
			Now the reality is, is that in that area, no one should have been approached. He wasn't expecting
anybody to come. And so when he saw a person approaching, he wasn't clear. He didn't know who this
person was. He said I wouldn't be let him is shoved. He had the
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:56
			narration of sight Muslim, which is where this idea of Israel, he said, I seek refuge in Allah from
the evil of this plumber.
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:58
			And it turned out to be his son.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:05
			And his son came to Him. And He said to him that the people are in Medina
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:18
			fighting one another. And you know what the truth is, you know what the truth is, and you have more
of a right to be in the forefront.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:32
			Because he was one of the greatest complaints after I do the alone time and I see you have more of a
right to be in the forefront than many of these other people who have involved themselves in this.
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:44
			And his father told him very early I heard the Prophet sallallahu his son themselves saying that
Allah loves the servant that is to pee.
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:53
			That is that has tough one. That is a need. That is sufficed and content with what he has and who is
happy.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:14:00
			And as the style is saying coffee means scanning along a definition of coffee
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:12
			is a person who has devoted who is devoted totally to the worship of Allah subhana wa tada and
preoccupied with himself. He doesn't get involved in anyone else's affairs.
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:33
			He said I heard the prompts I said as we translate saluted or or unnoticed but this is the actual
definition. Coffee Beans again, someone who has is devoted to the worship of Allah Subhana Medina
and preoccupied with themselves doesn't deal with the affairs
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:35
			like
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:40
			this it was collected by a Muslim.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:47
			But let's take this step by step because this ID though it was narrated for that particular reason.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:56
			It is for everyone to recognize that if you have these three qualities that Allah subhana wa tada
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			Allah loves these three qualities. He loves them.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:12
			Every person with these three qualities at turkey from a tougher and tougher linguistically from
what the which means to protect oneself.
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:25
			And for those of you who have made aamra already, and those of you who are going to make online
shala What do you say between the Yemeni corner and the Blackstone
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:27
			that you may
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:39
			have been asking me dunya Hashanah fileds, gala tea, Hashanah. What? What Pina, Pina, this this is
actually
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:47
			the command form of the verb that is for makia p joaquina. To protect us, right what
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:59
			you're asking a lot to protect you from the punishment of the Fire. But tough one is that which
protects you from the punishment of a loss of power.
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:11
			And that which protects you from his punishment is to do what he has commanded and to refrain from
what he has prohibited. So this is a tough one. Allah
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:20
			loves those of his servants who have tough one, this is what this month of Ramadan is about. This is
the greatest month side
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:26
			or the greatest objective of the month of Ramadan is that we obtained suffer.
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:43
			uncanny and funny. And we know some people need to have the money, right? I mean, one of the names
of Allah subhana wa Tada. But the quality of the net. What does that mean?
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			Does it mean if someone is funny?
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:53
			rich, rich, what's the opposite of money?
		
00:16:54 --> 00:17:42
			For 14, okay, except that the Prophet alayhi salatu salam said, Lisa Lena. And guess what a lot of
that Lina does not mean that you have a lot of possessions, right? When we think of someone who was
rich. We think of a millionaire, a billionaire, someone who gets attached. All right. The Prophet
sallallahu wasallam said that this is not true. wealth. Lisa elearn uncas Mattila bollocky Melina
Valentina, Lena, Lena knifes, but it is the richness of the sole meaning meaning one, that you are
content
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:48
			that you are happy with what Allah subhana wa, tada has decreed for you.
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:57
			And this, anybody who has been rich, at some point in their life, or who is rich right now
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:12
			recognizes that their happiness is not built upon their possessions, a person to come along, they
strive for a very long time to get something that they thought they really wanted.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:19:02
			And then they get it. And they have it for a month, two months, a year, a year and a half within it.
It doesn't have the same value to them anymore. And there is fixed on something greater than what is
in front of them. And so what happens, they're not happy anymore. They're not content, even though
they had the thing that they really want it at that particular time. And they get it. And they're
happy with it for a temporary period of time. And then they want something greater, and then they
want something more and then they want something after that. And so they are constantly busy with
one thing and someone who wants something, is he rich? No, no, that person is not actually rich
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:14
			because they're not content. The person who is content with what Allah, Allah has decreed for them,
does not mean he doesn't have aspirations and he doesn't strive. That's not the case.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:25
			But what ever Allah gives him, he is content with that and if he gets more than accompany man, and
if he doesn't, he is satisfied.
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:30
			He is satisfied and that is that is truly that is true wealth
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
			that aligns with gel
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:38
			grants you pretend that you are content with what Allah
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:43
			has provided for you. And then we have coffee.
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:48
			And this is the person as we mentioned, who has
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:59
			done it designated his time he dedicated his time to the worship of a lost paradise, but this one is
not in all cases.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			We know that the Prophet before the Prophet we know that in the Quran,
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:07
			Allah subhana wa gyla
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:14
			when he tells us the story of the advice that Luke man gave to his son,
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			part of that advice was,
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:20
			what more
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:26
			to command with which you know, to be good.
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:27
			One
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:37
			and prohibited what you know to be monka that was, shouldn't be that which is evil.
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:53
			And then what each other was spirit and SABIC, and be patient and forbearance with with, with the
things that come that come to you, as a result of you commanding with the good and forbidding the
evil.
		
00:20:55 --> 00:21:19
			Down, if you are secluded, can you come in with a good and forbidding evil, if you're by yourself
tending to your camels, no, there is no command in good and forbidding evil because you're by
yourself, you're not with the people, and the Prophet is alive. Listen, Adam says something that is
similar to what was mentioned in the ayah. And that is that he said that the movement and the view
harder to mess, whilst
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:52
			the believer goes and mixes with the people, he lives amongst them, he goes to their gatherings and
he is patient with the harm that comes to him as a result is better than the believer who seclude
himself and is not patient with the harm of the people. So how do we understand this? How do we
understand this? How do we understand that by recognizing that not all times and places are the
same?
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:55
			If a believer fears for his Deen
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:04
			if you fear for your religion, by mixing with the people, then it is better for you to stay
secluded.
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:12
			In this scenario, inside the value of costs, rather your loads,
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:15
			obviously feared for his deal.
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:37
			Which side should I be with? It wasn't clear to him and our main hedge as Muslims is that they have
Allah is clear. And the Haram is clear. And then there are gray areas with what is our men heads
with the gray area that we reframe and we stop when it took us
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:54
			focus on the MP meaning he was the one who avoids those gray areas has become safe and blameless and
as the and as it relates to his reputation.
		
00:22:56 --> 00:23:07
			So the issue of seclusion of being away withdrawing from society is not something that is always
praiseworthy.
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:21
			It is better for a person to go mix with the people. But recognize that when you mess with the
people, you're going to see things that are not correct. And so you need to do your best to correct
them.
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:33
			And when we say do your best to correct them, it doesn't mean that you yell and use shout when you
say ghastly that's how you stand up in the message somebody whose phone was ringing
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:40
			during the summer and it was playing some music and it disturbed people in salon and you get up
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:46
			and you start pointing at him. Yes, he does. Haha. Don't come back to the masjid don't
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:51
			is the fabulous he Action
		
00:23:55 --> 00:24:16
			Center is not done like that. Now, that's something that shouldn't be in a disturbed sequence salon.
There was a man in this semester of the Prophet alayhi salatu salam who allow this phone to go off
for three rakaats straight. The person called and hung up and call back and it was Jingle bells, the
tone
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:28
			for three records, you can just imagine that the people around him had a very difficult time
concentrating. But he had so much
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:41
			in his salon, that he couldn't take his hands, the right hand off the left to just turn off his
phone because he was so much into the salon.
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:59
			There are people that believe that you can't move in salon other than the motions of the salad
itself. So maybe he's one of those types that believes this slide becomes invalid but look at what
you did to this a lot of all of the other people around and this happens in the massage when people
need their cell phones.
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:17
			So we're going to command them with the good in a good way, pull them to the side, you actually when
you come to the minister or talk to the man and have the man say something about it, but to do that,
that is not going to bring about a positive result. And the law knows best not to mention.
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:23
			Not to mention that in most of the massages, there are people who come late.
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:27
			Correct. So when the man slams out, what do those people do?
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:58
			They want to stand up and they want you to continue to select. Now not only were they subject to the
ringtone of this particular individual, now they have to hear your crossbow after the slot while
they're trying to make up their one or two, three rockets or whatever it is they have to make up now
they have to listen to you scream and shout. So you have to think about these things. The point is,
that when you mix with the people, you're going to see things that are that are reprehensible that
deserve to be spoken about.
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:08
			And that gives you an opportunity to command the good and forbid the evil, but you're also going to
get some pushback.
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:14
			And that is what look man told his son was spit out Mr. saavik, because nobody has commanded with
good
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:22
			or forbidding the evil except that there are some people that don't like what they have to say. And
they're going to continue in their particular way.
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:28
			And so, that is going to require some patience from
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:47
			in general that is better, but if a person fears for his religion, or it is a type of fitna, then it
is permissible in this circumstances and perhaps even below that a person withdraws from the society
and protects his internet
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:52
			along with dye line by the color, so
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:58
			we could see the purple will need
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:00
			to refine
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:04
			a lot.
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:16
			Man's good observance of Islam is that he leaves the matters that are not concerned afforded by a
ceremony who said it was possible.
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:21
			But this is a tremendous headin that was narrated by
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:24
			those who are the alarm
		
00:27:26 --> 00:28:12
			who narrated the most heavy on the Prophet sallallahu wasallam in terms of the service, so he he
said that it was hasn't graded it as being fair. And many of the scholars of Hadith have said that
this hadith is in fact, Hazard on the writing, dividing, which means that it is fair because there
are other collaborating narrations. Not that the particular chain of narration of this ID is fair in
and of itself, but that there are other narrations that support it. So there are supporting
narrations, and there is no great there's no doubt that this is a great idea. From the Hadith of the
Prophet alayhi salatu salam that many of the scholars have said is a fourth is one of four Ahadi
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:34
			around which the hadith of etiquettes in Islam revolve. This is one of four heavy around which the
etiquettes of Islam revolve. And you should know these four headings. The first one is the Hadith of
the Prophet sallahu wa Salaam. And it's for the alumni who said that the Prophet sallallahu wasallam
said they
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:37
			had to use
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:45
			enough city that none of you believes his brother when he loves himself. And then there's this heavy
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:59
			from the person's perfection of his practice of Islam is that he leaves that which does not concern
them. The third howdy is the Hadith of the Prophet alayhi wa sallam also narrated by a
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:01
			mechanical
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:04
			failure only,
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:15
			let's say, and let him say that which is good or resign. And then the last thing is, is that to the
advice of the prophet Isaiah, so that was sent to the man who came to me and said,
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:18
			Give me some advice. He said,
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:32
			Don't become angry, don't get angry, don't get angry. Because all of these other etiquettes of exam
are built upon you have the ability to think.
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:44
			And you have to be considerate of your brother to love Him what you love for yourself. You have to
think in order to live off that which does not concern you. Once you get angry, what happens.
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:49
			You're not thinking anymore, you're not in your rights state of mind.
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:57
			And so in order to maintain the etiquettes of a stand, you have to avoid becoming angry. This has
been
		
00:29:59 --> 00:29:59
			the profit
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:01
			salatu salam
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:08
			is encouraging us to restrict our actions
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:24
			and our statements to that which will benefit us. And to stay away from anything that is not going
to benefit you. So you have to prioritize what you involve yourself in
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:44
			what you say and what you do. This is from the way of Islam, this is from you practicing Islam.
Well, this is also a very important point. And that is that the Prophet sallallahu wasallam is
showing us here that there is a good way that you can practice Islam.
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:48
			And by
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:57
			by definition, therefore, there is a bad way to practice this and not all Muslims, will practices
land well.
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:12
			And that's an important point to note that it is not sufficient just to say that you are Muslim, and
to think that that's going to be enough. Not all Muslims practices, man. Well, so what does the
Prophet somebody was saying to me,
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:25
			when he says, I mean, Bruce Lee, Al Islam, from the good Islam, from a good practice, on your good
practice of Islam.
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:28
			The scholars
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:32
			say that this can mean one of two things or craps both
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:43
			the first the first, and we should recognize it, because sometimes people say, sometimes people
think this has been translated, what does it say? What does it what's the translation?
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:57
			He leaves the matters, right? He leaves matters that don't concern. Some people think that this
means simply that You mind your business.
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:22
			Okay. So you stay out of other people's business, You mind your own business. And that this is what
this means that this is good from your good observance of Islam is that you mind your business. But
we need to recognize here that this is part of the hobby. But this is a very deficient understanding
of the hobby. So the first part of what it means
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:34
			what does good Islam me is that you observe all that a last minute data has obligated upon you and
you refrain from all that he has forbidden. This is good Islam.
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:43
			Like that's one definition. The second definition is that person, Al Islam
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:56
			is synonymous with sin, and it kind of sounds like that person is saying, right. So if you said and
you know that same
		
00:32:57 --> 00:33:02
			as the Prophet sallallahu Sallam said, with your real asked him what his exam of the process don't
say.
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:05
			But he said,
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:10
			so worship Allah, as though you see him.
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:12
			But
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:14
			if you don't see him,
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:22
			know that he sees you. So if sane is also of two levels,
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:29
			the first level is what is known as no shareholder, shareholder to witness.
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:44
			So you worship Allah Subhana what's Allah as if you witness him? Now, what does that mean? What does
that mean? Nobody is going to see along this line.
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:48
			Nobody's going to see along this line.
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:54
			So what does it mean? It means that in everything that you see,
		
00:33:55 --> 00:34:01
			you witness the attributes of Allah subhana wa Tada. You witness his science.
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:22
			When you see that someone is poor and someone else's rich, you witness the justice of Allah subhana
wa Tada. When you see an animal, take food to his child. You witness the mercy of a lost count that
everything that you see reminds you of Allah tala gelato,
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:28
			so reminds you of his science. His is his effect.
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:35
			And he the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:38
			and the after one of the battles and there was a woman
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:42
			who was going around, she was looking for her child.
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:51
			And she saw the other children and she was picking them up, bringing her bringing them to her chest
so that she can feed them.
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:59
			And the campaigns were amazed when they saw that the promise of love it was some of them said to
them.
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:04
			Are you amazed by what you see from this woman?
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:08
			Verily alized
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:10
			is
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:22
			the bed, he is more merciful with his service than this woman is to her own child, not to mention, I
mean, CRC was for those children?
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:25
			How do you think she would be with her own child?
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:40
			A lot. So Adele is more merciful to his service than that woman is, with her own time, just to show
that when a person reaches that level of motion,
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:44
			then they begin to witness the
		
00:35:45 --> 00:36:07
			effects, or the effects of a larger with those attributes on on his creation, that is a high level,
that is a high level of that is the highest level, and that is the level of OSHA, but that there is
another level of it. The second part is approximately So I'm talking about, which is a maraca.
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:23
			So that means that even though you don't get to that level of seeing the effects of allows
attributes and everything, you still worship Eliza Joe, knowing that he sees you, and this is a high
level of men as well.
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:30
			Why? Why is that? Because the person who worships Allah Subhana
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:33
			Allah as if they see him?
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:38
			Where are they going to go when they want to when they want to see
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:46
			nowhere, because they know that there's nowhere to go.
		
00:36:49 --> 00:37:05
			This is a very high level of men, because every time something inside of them or some external
influences, pushing them to be disobedient to a last panel data, they recognize that a lot as to
what is watching them.
		
00:37:06 --> 00:37:10
			And so they're not going to disobeyed him, they're not going to disobey them.
		
00:37:11 --> 00:37:20
			Now find that just to give you a contemporary example, so that we can kind of picture these two
levels of a sentence.
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:27
			to any of you teach here, and there weren't any of
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:30
			you heard of the term of neurotic.
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:48
			neurotic is an invigilator, or somebody who practice the exam. Have you ever taken an exam, that you
usually have someone or two people in the exam room, right, the walk up and down, to make sure that
what?
		
00:37:50 --> 00:37:58
			No one's right there, making sure that no one is cheating by a person who wants to cheat.
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:04
			When there is someone watching in the room,
		
00:38:06 --> 00:38:08
			they're going to be very reluctant.
		
00:38:10 --> 00:38:28
			Because they know that this person is watching. Even if the person is standing at the back of the
room, and that person is facing to the front and they want to cheat. They're still very hesitant,
because they know that there's a very good possibility that the person standing behind them is
watching.
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:41
			Okay, but it still might cross their mind, maybe I can pull the paper out of my chest pocket, I'm
just putting here on the test and you won't see it, there's still some degree of
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:58
			any, you can say some hope that they'll be able to get away from away with. But if the invigilator
or the practice is standing right next to them, and they can see that person watching.
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:12
			They lose all hope of cheating. Correct. This is the difference between Lucia and Morocco? Who
Shahada to worship Allah as if you see him.
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:18
			The thought of disobeying doesn't even cross your mind.
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:27
			The love of Allah subhana wa tada is always present than hoping him and that fear is always present.
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:30
			Whereas Manasa
		
00:39:31 --> 00:39:42
			is like the teacher at the back of the class. You know, he's there, you know, he's watching, but
there still may be some hope that there could be a you could cheat, right?
		
00:39:44 --> 00:39:59
			So, and many of the scholars say that cheating is from the major sins by the way. We shouldn't take
that. Like, there's the prophets of light. It was something that Russia, but he's the one who cheats
is not from us, is not from us. That indicates sort of
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:06
			Probably someone says something as someone who's not from us as an indication that it's a major sin,
I think about think about it as one
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:13
			would you would you have surgery performed by a doctor that you know cheated on his medical exams?
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:26
			I mean, many people cheat their way through university, and then get a degree and then they go into
practice. And then they have to be very careful about the money that they're receiving.
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:28
			Because perhaps,
		
00:40:29 --> 00:40:34
			it is money that is built on a Shahada to Zoo a
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:42
			false Certificate of false diploma. And in that they really didn't earn because they cheated.
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:57
			Along was that, like, the point is that there's a difference between Okay, just to give you another
example, if a person goes on a road, and that road says monitored by radar, you know that there are
police up and down the road or their cameras
		
00:40:58 --> 00:41:31
			up and down that road, you're going to be careful to monitor your speed. Correct. But if you
actually see the camera, or you actually see the police car, what happens? You become extra
cautious, you're not even going to go to the speed limit, you're gonna go below the speed limit,
right, just to make sure that there is no Morocco permission, you know that you're being watched.
But when you actually see there's a different level. So the profit is slightly lower than when he's
talking about us in LA slang.
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:43
			What we gain from this is that Islam is of different levels, that the Muslims themselves are on
different levels.
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:56
			Just like we have a man that goes there fluctuates up and down the ebbs and flows, of Eman Islam is
also on different levels.
		
00:41:57 --> 00:42:07
			And the last panel data and it's important to know these things because as a Muslim, we want to try
to be at the at the highest level. So the Buddhist lamp.
		
00:42:09 --> 00:42:41
			Other scholars have said that it incorporates everything that we just mentioned, and incorporates
doing what Allah has commanded you to do and staying away from what is prohibited. And this is the
lowest level of personnel Islam, of your good practice of Islam, and the highest level is Excel. And
when we see that there's a levels to a to Islam, that we want to be from the highest level last
count data, seven different atoma over example, Edina stuffie, lemony bednet
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:44
			let me know volleyball
		
00:42:46 --> 00:42:48
			woman who doesn't want
		
00:42:50 --> 00:42:50
			it
		
00:42:53 --> 00:42:56
			to be a last kind of data set in this
		
00:42:58 --> 00:43:01
			that he has chosen service
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:07
			from amongst those who have inherited the book, what book is talking about?
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:10
			The Quran
		
00:43:11 --> 00:43:23
			so I lost my dad has given us the book, he has chosen His servants from amongst those servants, whom
have been given this book whom he has chosen and they are the Muslims
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:29
			from amongst the Muslims at barley Moline have seen
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:32
			those who oppressed themselves
		
00:43:35 --> 00:43:56
			a Muslim, but he has oppressed himself, either by doing something that is hard, or by leaving of
something that alone is obligated. And we shouldn't just think about we think about the salon. Okay,
I'm the life pray five times a day, I don't leave off my prayers. Right. There are other ways you
got to this man man.
		
00:43:58 --> 00:44:07
			Being dutiful to your parents is a legit business man. And a lot of times, we fall way short in that
area.
		
00:44:09 --> 00:44:16
			Providing for your family is a wagon. This is something that is an obligation that
		
00:44:17 --> 00:44:19
			some people are very happy
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:26
			to put themselves and their families in a situation where they have to take handouts from the
government.
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:32
			Not not because they genuinely need to,
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:38
			because that's a different situation. But because that's the way they love to live.
		
00:44:41 --> 00:44:44
			But it is your obligation as a Muslim man
		
00:44:45 --> 00:44:51
			to be a productive member of society and to provide for your family.
		
00:44:53 --> 00:44:58
			So there are Muslims who oppressed themselves by leaving off
		
00:44:59 --> 00:44:59
			that was a lot
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:01
			So john is obligated,
		
00:45:02 --> 00:45:10
			or that they do those things with the last pet that has proven I mean, oh, golly, Molina woman.
		
00:45:12 --> 00:45:14
			And then they are those who travel. And then of course,
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:25
			the middle, of course, is what we've already mentioned, from hairstylist, men, you do what you're
supposed to do, you refrain from those things which you are supposed to refrain from all of them.
		
00:45:26 --> 00:46:14
			All of them. This is, this is the middle course, or a middle path, where minimum savvy home Bill Pay
live TV in the lab. And then there are those who race to do the good bye last panel, which is Lee,
Eliza Joe has granted them disability. And the reason why those kind of data are one of the wisdom
finalizers you're mentioning that here is so that a person who does race to do good, they don't just
pray five times a day, but they also pray and they pray witches, and they pray they're similar. So
they pray, and they pray. They don't just fast the month of Ramadan. They fasted for the Mondays and
Thursdays or maybe just Mondays or three times and every month but they fast. And mahalo and so on,
		
00:46:14 --> 00:46:14
			so
		
00:46:17 --> 00:46:18
			on, and so on.
		
00:46:19 --> 00:47:01
			So they're pushing themselves, because we learn to recognize that if you are from those people were
raised to do the good that it is because Eliza gel has granted you that ability, not because of your
own self and not so that you can think that you are better than someone else. But that because the
last Hill dial has guided you to that. And so you should be thankful to Allah show gratitude to
Allah spelled out as he'll humbly lead. And then say Alhamdulillah, because he granted you the
tobique to remember to thank him for guiding you and then say Alhamdulillah, again, perpetually,
because you can't think Allah subhanaw taala enough. And that is the greatest gift that Allah
		
00:47:01 --> 00:47:05
			subhanaw taala guide you to Islam, and that he makes you firm upon the deen
		
00:47:06 --> 00:47:21
			of Islam, because that's the only thing that is going to bring you true happiness in this life is
that you have a connection to the one who agreed. Otherwise, when those people who have all that
they're doing it has to offer, they don't know a lot of counterbalances if they know nothing.
		
00:47:22 --> 00:47:31
			Because there remains a facade or emptiness in the inside that can never be filled without the
knowledge of a loss of contact. That is what the heart was created for.
		
00:47:33 --> 00:47:38
			Me no one valuable enough. See, we asked the last method and not to make this almost those people
who have oppressed themselves.
		
00:47:39 --> 00:47:57
			And then there are those who traveled the middle course. Then there are those who are savvy, to race
to do those good deeds, the Muslims are different levels, you should not be satisfied with anything
less than striving to please Allah subhanaw taala to strive to be from amongst those who are
		
00:47:58 --> 00:48:15
			savvy, one will highlight race to do the bill. Daddy got one problem. This is the great bounty from
Allah Subhana Allah was added when hosting Islam and mark. So that covers the issue of hosting al
Islam,
		
00:48:16 --> 00:48:47
			then we have the issue of leaving off that which does not concern. And these are four things four
categories. I mentioned that quickly with some examples so that we're very clear on what this means.
The four categories, the first thing that doesn't concern you as anything that is hot with Islam
from your good practice of Islam is to what leave off the process Some said to me, that which is not
concerning to leave to abandon to refrain from the harm.
		
00:48:48 --> 00:48:52
			That is part of your good practice of Islam.
		
00:48:54 --> 00:48:56
			So leave off that which is
		
00:48:58 --> 00:49:05
			because a person who constantly indulges in metal and knocks on that door, that door is going to
open him behind it is what
		
00:49:09 --> 00:49:11
			the third thing is to leave off
		
00:49:13 --> 00:49:23
			as much Mr. beheads that gray area this is part of your perfection the practice, your practice, your
perfecting your practice of Islam
		
00:49:24 --> 00:49:31
			is to leave off the monster behind the gray areas, those things which make you uncomfortable.
		
00:49:33 --> 00:49:34
			You're not sure.
		
00:49:35 --> 00:49:40
			Okay, all of those are clear. The fourth one is the one where we have to work on
		
00:49:42 --> 00:49:55
			and that is what the scholars call balloon and MOBA hats over indulging in in the permissible over
indulging in the Hello.
		
00:49:58 --> 00:49:59
			This is what you need to
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:00
			leave off.
		
00:50:02 --> 00:50:07
			In order to be a good practitioner of Islam.
		
00:50:08 --> 00:50:21
			What does that mean to overindulge in the halau talking is Hello. But too much talking, eating is
halau. But too much eating, which is the next
		
00:50:24 --> 00:50:25
			sleeping
		
00:50:26 --> 00:50:35
			is Hello. But over sleeping, excessive sleeping. This is a Muslim has to stay away from that.
		
00:50:37 --> 00:50:42
			We mentioned before the statement of affiliate or the allaahu tag and
		
00:50:44 --> 00:50:49
			one of the great scholars of Islam said that he has three things that make your heart hard
		
00:50:50 --> 00:50:54
			overeating, over sleeping, and excessive talk.
		
00:50:57 --> 00:51:04
			And all the notes of excessive talking is what many would describe this heavy to me
		
00:51:06 --> 00:51:08
			the issue of leaving off that which does not concern,
		
00:51:11 --> 00:51:17
			talking about things that don't concern and acquire quiet.
		
00:51:19 --> 00:51:30
			And take advantage of the opportunity of Ramadan when you are more conscious than normal to leave
off talking about that which doesn't concern.
		
00:51:31 --> 00:51:33
			Some people get together
		
00:51:34 --> 00:51:36
			with their families.
		
00:51:37 --> 00:51:44
			One of them as a businessman, another as a mechanic, another as a doctor, another as an engineer.
		
00:51:47 --> 00:51:50
			They get together for an hour and a half. You know, they talk about
		
00:51:54 --> 00:51:55
			politics.
		
00:51:57 --> 00:52:03
			This government doesn't do that. This government, they're not real Muslims. These ones are not
whatever
		
00:52:04 --> 00:52:30
			that concerns you, beloved, by Allah azza wa jal that concerns you, and you're going to be able to
do something about it, those people were sitting around that room, what is the action point they
left, that's going to come out of an hour and a half of talking about this government or that
government. And they don't do this. And they don't do that, right. And they'll press me. After an
hour and a half. Let's just assume that everything you said was true.
		
00:52:31 --> 00:52:39
			Which, which is another problem, because 75 to 90% of the time, you don't even know what you're
talking about.
		
00:52:40 --> 00:52:57
			The news, your information about what the government is or is not doing comes through a filter that
has an agenda, period, whether that agenda is left or right, or centrist or whatever, they still
have an agenda.
		
00:52:59 --> 00:53:03
			And the information that comes to you is filtered through that particular agenda.
		
00:53:04 --> 00:53:21
			So you take that, and some of the people who are sitting around are progressives and others are
right wing and everybody is having a ball. And then your action item after an hour and a half is
what you came out with what from that whole discussion, nothing that concerns period.
		
00:53:22 --> 00:53:42
			You couldn't take that hour and a half to learn in your mind. Since we're together. Why don't we
help one another? Yeah. And why don't we help each other learn and it's gonna take 10 minutes to
make this larger, the profit is selected and used to make daily what law do you get people will come
and say, I can't memorize the bride. They've been Muslim for 20 years, they don't know just
		
00:53:45 --> 00:53:47
			Johnny juice is 20 pages.
		
00:53:49 --> 00:53:53
			That means for a whole year, you couldn't memorize one page.
		
00:53:55 --> 00:54:08
			And then you wonder why it's so difficult to get your wife to pray by you because she's tired of
hearing the same song over and over again, I think learn some of your theme and teach your family.
		
00:54:09 --> 00:54:31
			But the reality is, is because we spend so much time engaged in either Mohan moku a gray area or
excessive something that is permissible. We don't use our time wisely to do that which is going to
benefit us in this life in the here act.
		
00:54:33 --> 00:54:35
			And that is why this is so important.
		
00:54:37 --> 00:54:59
			That is why if you know this Howdy. And the next time something like that happens, you need to be
the one to say it why maybe we should change the subject and talk about something that is going to
be beneficial. Again, it does not mean that you can't talk about things that are just move back
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:07
			You want to talk with your friend about the game last night? This Championship match with this man.
Okay, fine.
		
00:55:08 --> 00:55:26
			There's nothing that makes that Haram in Islam. Right. But you do have to realize that that lady, at
the end of the day, it really doesn't concern. You may have made it concern, because you like a
particular sport, but it doesn't really concern you is the point. This is this is why
		
00:55:28 --> 00:55:31
			the scholars when they talk about what concerns you,
		
00:55:32 --> 00:55:39
			they made a point to mention those categories. Because some things you may think concern and they
really don't.
		
00:55:40 --> 00:56:08
			And other things you think do not concern you and they do. the plight of the oma is something that
should concern every Muslim Muslims who are being oppressed around the world, no matter where they
are, should be every Muslims concern a Muslim, Muslim or non Muslim, not many California will like
the building, it should bother Obama, we reinforce one another.
		
00:56:10 --> 00:56:25
			Now, how you deal with that concern is another issue altogether. It doesn't mean that you sit back
and you say, you know, Muslims are being oppressed in this particular land, I'm gonna go fight
jihad, jihad, are you talking about exactly that? You
		
00:56:26 --> 00:56:28
			know, say, Allah tm la?
		
00:56:29 --> 00:56:39
			do jihad for yourself to stand up and pray at night? How about that? Start there? Start by
increasing your practice of Islam and drawing closer to Allah.
		
00:56:40 --> 00:56:55
			Start by making do on the last third of the night? Start by praying in Japan. No, we have people
some handler yesterday he was in a nightclub. And the next day he should he gave out is that happen?
Because he's concerned with the Muslims are lost hands Allah knows best.
		
00:56:57 --> 00:56:57
			The point is that
		
00:56:59 --> 00:57:17
			we have to, we have to recognize that there are things that should concern us as Muslims, they are
our concerns, whether you take the initiative to do anything about that concern or not. And there
are other things that we may be concerned with, that are not our concern.
		
00:57:19 --> 00:57:24
			We may be I'm saying as individual Muslims, you may be concerned about
		
00:57:25 --> 00:57:32
			what happens in a particular place, or this sports star injuring himself or something like that, you
may be concerned with that.
		
00:57:34 --> 00:57:55
			But it's not it doesn't concern you in reality. So that's why it's very important to understand this
hobby, in light of what the prophet is allowed to sit in, was actually talking about so that we can
avoid those things which don't concern us and spend our time doing the things that do concern is
because we have to pluses
		
00:57:56 --> 00:58:14
			that many of us are cheated out of the profit is like with Samsung, and that is free time as your
health. It is no excuses from a lottery. God is there too many Muslims, when you ask them why they
stay is the way it is, they say because they don't have enough time
		
00:58:16 --> 00:58:23
			in this hobby to provide service teaching us to prioritize, not that you don't have enough time,
you're a bad time manager.
		
00:58:24 --> 00:58:31
			You have to manage your time properly because you have not prioritized properly.
		
00:58:32 --> 00:58:39
			And once you put things in perspective, what is it that really should concern me as a Muslim? And
what should it
		
00:58:40 --> 00:58:51
			be it should concern you that you've been a Muslim for how many years that you've been practicing
Islam for how many years and you cannot read the Quran
		
00:58:52 --> 00:58:55
			you cannot be assigned property that should concern
		
00:58:57 --> 00:59:05
			and there are a lot of other things that should not this hiding from the private it so it Sam is
teaching us to prioritize and to restrict.
		
00:59:06 --> 00:59:53
			Because that's the that's another thing here. The problem is some said it's harder to live off
something that this becomes really bad a lot of times when we think about what makes a good Muslim,
from the good Islam, your good practices, man, we think about what he does. He prays he, for
example, makes her own rock. He is good to his parents. He doesn't even we don't think about what he
doesn't do and this is the process I sent him a saying here that we have to be concerned about
leaving off that which does not concern us and that is part of your good and your good practice of
Islam and your perfection of your practice of Islam. Hello Adam. Salaam, robotic and then Amina
		
00:59:53 --> 00:59:54
			Mohammed
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:08
			We're gonna start there. We'll take tomorrow there is no class by the way, Salah will pick up on
Wednesday and we'll take questions on Wednesday.
