Lesson number 35 soloable bacara i a 261 to 266
methanol, levina Yun Fukuda and Wallah home FISA deal in
the example of those people who spent their wealth in the cause of Allah, the example of who those people who spend in the way of Allah to please Allah subhanaw taala.
We have learned several verses which encourage standing in the way of Allah.
For example, right at the beginning of sorbitol dakara, we learned about the moon, the moon, the moon, those people who have Taqwa, what do they do? When a man was Akane? Who didn't feel calm? Whatever that we have given them, what do they do from it? They spend it in the way of Allah.
Then in the second, just almost towards the beginning, we learned the ayah to be
that the true bear the true righteousness is of the one who were at Alma, Allah, Allah hope be
the one who spends as well, in the way of Allah despite his immense love for that, well, he still spends his wealth in the way of Allah.
Similarly, we read in sort of Bukhara, there were unfill goofy sebelah, one or two big Camila Luca, spend in the way of Allah, and do not throw yourselves for destruction. Because if you don't spend, then what are you going to do? You're going to suffer, you're going to harm yourself.
Also, we learned that yes, aluna come after you and they ask you about what they should spend what was the response, Palma and factum and Faden funded? Well, he then spent on who? On your parents.
And we also learned after that, that they asked about what they should spend, spend what that which is,
that which is extra.
So we see that thus far, there has been a lot of encouragement on spending in the wave of law.
So much so that even the verses that we learned about divorce, that when a woman is being divorced, and when she's being sent away, then yes, she keeps him or her, whatever her situation is. But despite that, give her what on top of that give her a matar.
So our D teaches us to be those people who spend on others, not be those who are selfish, and who only want benefits for themselves, but to be caring for those people who are around us and bring benefit to them.
Then we learned at the beginning of the third just that, yeah, you alladhina amanu and fuchal. The clear command was given. Clearly, Allah subhanaw taala commanded the believers that spend before your time is up, spend before death comes to you.
Because once your chance is over, then that's it. Even if you want to give the entire Earth's fill in charity, it's not going to benefit you.
So make use of your life make use of your wealth, as long as you have it.
So obviously, when there was so much encouragement, and when the clear commands were given that spend in the way of Allah, obviously people wonder, what's the reward? What's the benefit? Why should we spend? We're giving our money away? What do we get in return?
For it previously, we learned Mandela de Yokota de la carbon Hashanah. Okay, fine, you give a loan to Allah. But what's the reward? What's the benefit? What do I get in return? So we see that in the following verses, a loss of pantalla tells us about the reward for spending in his way.
What is the reward? What is the benefit? Is it just one good deed? Or is the good deed the good reward multiplied many, many times?
seminar in the following verses were also taught about the proper etiquette of spending, that it's not just about cutting a check. It's not just about throwing a few cents in the box, or giving some cash, no. How should you spend? What's the proper manner? What's the proper etiquette when you spend How should you do so? And when you have spent then what should your behavior be?
So, after all that encouragement and the clear command. Now the verses tell us about the etiquette of spending, the manner of spending, the reward for spending, and also who exactly should we spend on? On which ways should we spend our world? methanol ladina Yun acuna Amala Hong feasibility in
the example of those people who spend
They're Well, were FISA beaten left in the way of a law. And when a home is a plural of man, and the word man is from the roof letters, meanwhile known, and mal includes everything that a person owns. Everything that a person possesses, whether he is using them personally, or it is something that is in his name,
or it is something that he has invested, whether it is his assets, or investments, every single thing that a person owns, what does Allah say? Those who spend their own wealth? So what does it mean? They don't steal other people's wealth, and they give it in charity? No. What do they do? They spend their own money, their own things? Because if you think of it, what is it that you like? What is it that you love something that you own, or something that belongs to another person,
something that you own yourself, for example, if you go into a shoe area, but lots of shoes over there, some shoes are in a very bad condition, and other shoes are in a very good condition. For example, some shoes are very expensive and other shoes.
But which shoes do you like
your own write your own, even if it is something that is not as valuable, even if it is something that is not of great value, or great amount, even if it is not something that's very expensive, but what you own is what you love. So therefore, they spend off their own money, of their own wealth of the things that they love most. But where did they spend it? Just on themselves? No, over here in particular, he's a villain. They're in the way of Allah. What's the way of Allah, the deen of Allah? And why is it called civilian law? Why is it called the way of Allah for two reasons. Because first of all, it is the way that Allah subhanaw taala has legislated for his service. It is the way of
life. It is the way of living, that Allah subhanaw taala has set he has legislated for who for his servants, also it is called Way of Allah, because it is the way that takes a person to who to the pleasure of Allah to the approval of Allah. The person cannot invent his own ways. He cannot make up his own ways, and think that he will please a lot through them.
A person only pleases allow by doing something in the manner in the way that Allah likes that Allah prusa. So they spend their wealth in the way of Allah. Now what does it mean by In fact, feasts have eaten? What does it mean by spending in the wave of law?
This includes several things, that first of all, when a person spends, he spends it for the pleasure of Allah. He spends it to attain the approval of Allah.
Remember that when we spent, there could be different intentions. For example, a person spends Why do make another person happy? Similarly, a person is very poor, he's very hungry, and you give them money or you give them food. Why? Because they're hungry, you feel compassion? You feel sorry for them, you feel bad for them. So in order to benefit the poor person, what do you do? You give them money, but the best intention, the best reason for spending is what? That I am giving this. Why? to please Allah. That even if apparently you're giving the money to a poor person, to person who is very hungry, why are you caring for him? Why are you so concerned about him? Because if you fulfill
his need, if you take care of him who is going to be happy, ally is going to be happy. It's possible that you give him money. And he doesn't even say thank you to you. It's possible. But when you've given it for the sake of Allah, when you've given it to attain the pleasure of Allah, then you don't care about who you're giving to, and what you're giving and what their responses and what people say and what people don't say. So the best intention is the intention, Linda, so in fact, Lisa vitola includes spending to attain the pleasure of above First of all, secondly, it includes spending for the deen of Allah.
Spending for the success of the deen of Allah. The development, the promotion, the propagation of the deen of Allah. What does that include?
spending to support the deen of Allah to spread the deen of Allah to promote the deen of Allah? What does that include?
To build massages? to help support the masjid pay the monthly bills.
To help with the religious publications, like for example, books, cards, lecture, CDs, websites, there's so many things that are involved right? Many times when we look at Islamic material, what do we say? such poor quality? Don't we say that, and we compare it to different institutes or universities or centers, and we say, you know, Islamic material is not up to standard. Why? Because either we're not spending to support it, or we're not working to support it, to make it
what else is included?
For example, that a person spends his money, why so that he can learn about the T, he can educate himself about the D.
Or, for example, he spends on students of knowledge so that they can learn the D. So spending, in the promotion of the deen of Allah subhanaw taala, to educate the people, about Islam, to support some of our work in publishing materials, distributing free books, giving books to students of knowledge, all of this is what spending in the way of Allah. Thirdly, spending in the way of Allah includes spending in all acts of obedience. So for example, when a person gives the cat What is he doing, he's being he's fulfilling an obligation. Similarly, when a person spends on his children, on his spouse, on his parents on his relatives, why because they're needy, or for whatever reason, when
he spends on his family, his relatives, his friends, why to please Allah subhanaw taala as long as it is an act of obedience to Allah, then this is included in fee civilian law.
So when a person spends in the way of Allah, He spends to please Allah, He spends to support the deen of Allah, He spends in obedience to Allah, then what is the example of such a person unless as can method, it is like the example of like the example of what had Betty have a green that would have been is from her there.
And the word is used for green,
a seed, and it can also be used for a wheat grain.
And remember that the word Hubba is used for the grain until it is buried in the ear. Once it is buried in the earth, then the word Hubei is not used for it anymore. Once it starts growing, then it's not happy anymore, because it changes its form. Okay, so how big is the whole grain that you see, as soon as it sprouts, as soon as a plant comes out of it, then the word habit will not be used for it. So the example of such people is that I have been.
So the example of a believer, the one who spends is the example of a person who sews a seed.
It is the example of a farmer. Just imagine somebody sowing a seed, somebody varying the seed in the soil in the ground. Why does he do that? So that the plant can grow? If he keeps a green in a ziplock bag in his drawer, what's going to happen to the green?
is a plant going to grow from it. Know, if he keeps it safe in his wallet is something when you grow from it. No, it'll probably dehydrate.
So, a habit is a small green. And the example of those people who spend in the way of Allah is like the one who sews a seed. And when he sews the seed what happens under that it grew, what grew, the seed grew and but that is from the root letter is known better. And the word not is used for growing for sprouting. The word Annabeth is used for plants. So what grew subterra seven? center Bella stocks ears. The word sinabi is the plural of simpler and simpler isn't the roof better seen noon bad
word something is used for a spike. Basically a spike of grain, an ear of grain. If you've ever seen a crop, for example, of wheat,
what is it like?
There's a stock there's a stem and at the end of the stem at the end of the stock you have a cluster of the green seats isn't so you have the stock and at the end of the stock at the tip of the stock. You have a cluster of the greens you
Have a cluster of seeds. So symbol is used for the cluster of seeds. It is the seeds it is the grains, which are at the tip at the end of stock.
You understand what it symbolizes. And it's a cluster, it's not just one grain, it's not just two greens, it's usually like 5060, sometimes less, sometimes more, because sometimes 20, sometimes 15 can be different in number. So over here, the law says unbothered, savasana a bit, this one seed, one green one, however, that is varied in the earth, what happens? Seven stocks come out of it. And at the end of each stock, is a cluster of seeds is a cluster of grains. How many grains are there in each cluster? How many grains are there at the end of each similar physicalism? bulletin me to have?
In every symbol, there are 100 grains. So just imagine, the farmer puts in only one seed? What happens? Seven stocks come out of that, at the end of each stock? There are 100 grains each. So one times seven times 100. How much is it 700.
A person puts in only one penny, one cent $1. And Allah multiplies the reward, so much so that he gets the reward of spending $700. One habit turns into 700. However, this is the example of the reward of those people who spend in the way of Allah. And remember that 700 is not the limit. 700 is not the maximum. What does Allah say? We'll know who you are if fully Manisha, and Allah increases, he multiplies for whoever he wills multiplies. What multiplies the reward.
It's not just 100 in each cluster, it could be more, it's not just seven stocks, it could be more, we'll know who you are a fully maneesha ally increases the reward for him, whoever he wields, will love who scrn li and Allah is infinitely worse. And he's also always only
the name of a lot worse here is from well seen rain from the word was what this was army capacity. And while sir, is used for one who has a lot of wasa he is looser. So Allah is very vast how, in what in all of his attributes, in all of his attributes, in his knowledge, he is not limited. He is was here he is here, in his full drop in his ability, he doesn't have limited abilities. He is worse here in his photo. Similarly, in his rahama, he's not just for him, but he is a man in his mother. He's not just for food, but who is he have.
So Allah is worse here in all of his attributes. And he's also early. He also has knowledge, what kind of knowledge knowledge that is where seer knowledge that is very vast. So what does that mean? That his knowledge includes everything. His knowledge includes everything, it is not just limited to the present, or to the past, or the future. It includes all times, all places, everybody.
So we see in this ayah, that Allah subhanaw taala multiplies the reward for a person when he spends in the way of Allah.
And this multiplication of reward, and example has been given enough up to 700 times, but remember, it's not just 700 times it can be more than that as well.
What determines the multiplication of reward? the purity of a person's intention, and the purity of a person's well?
how sincere is he? And what is he spending in the way of Allah? Remember, we learned earlier that Allah subhanaw taala is for you. And he only accepts that which is for you. And when you spend that which is why you Allah accepts it. And when he accepts it with his right hand, what does he do? He looks after it until one day it grows into the size of a mountain. What does that mean that the reward is multiplied to such an extent.
So we see over here that Allah subhanaw taala multiplies the reward for good deeds, especially when a person spends in the way of Allah. There is a hadith in Sahih Muslim, in which the Prophet sallallahu Sallam said that Allah subhanaw taala said, whenever my bondsman meaning whenever my slave intends to do good, but he does not do it
He intends to do something good. But he's not able to do it afterwards, I write one good deed for him. But if he puts it into practice, if he actually does it after making the intention, then a write from 10 to 700 good deeds in his favor.
As soon as the person makes the intention, what happens he gets the reward. But when he actually does it, then the reward is multiplied from 10 to 700 times in the favor of this person.
And we see that Ally's weser, and he's alternating, that he can give a lot of reward, he has a lot of busara, he is very vast, was the Heroku CEO somehow, if you will, it's not difficult for him to reward, it's very easy for him to reward and he is annoying, he knows about the intention of the person who is giving. So he is wiser, and he is also earning.
So we see that an example is being given. Let's analyze this example. Let's reflect on this example. First of all, why is an example given Why? So that we can understand a concept, something that is abstract, something that is intangible, we cannot really picture? When an example is given then we can picture it, it becomes real for us, it becomes tangible for us.
A lost pound data tells us in so little anchor booth I have 43 what do you call I'm selling a believable holiness, when I appeal to her Ilana moon, and these examples, we present to the people, but none will understand them except those of knowledge.
So person has to be of the knowledgeable wants to be able to understand the examples. So whatever knowledge that you have use it in order to understand the example.
So we see that this example shows the type of things that when a person puts one seed in the ground, in the soil, what happens that seed grows into a plant
and one seed that he sews, brings in multiple seeds.
Similarly, Allah subhanaw taala grows the good deeds for those people who perform the good deeds.
Many times when we're doing something, we think this is such an insignificant or such a small action, what benefit can agree, but we don't know. You do something very small. But with the ripple effect, the benefit can be immense. You don't know where or how Allah subhanaw taala can make that action grow and bring great benefit. So we see that the good deeds of a person when they're sincere, when they're done for the sake of Allah, Allah subhanaw taala makes them grow. Just as he makes a plant grow for a farmer. If he can make a plant grow, can you not make your good deeds grow? Of course he can.
We learn from a hadith that is mentioned in the hate Muslims the Prophet sallallahu Sallam said, He who gives in charity, the value of a date, which he legally earned, it's completely Hello. And Allah accepts only that which is pure, what happens? Allah accepts it with his right hand. And he fosters it for him as one of you Foster's his full until it becomes like a mountain. So Allah makes good deeds grow. We learn of a person that a person wants to give away a camel in the way of Allah, the camel just as the person would give away a car today. So he gave away his camel in the way of Allah. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam said to him that on the Day of Resurrection, you will have 700 camels.
You will have 700 camels can you afford 700 cars?
Well, maybe we can afford one car, maybe we can afford one camel.
So when a person gives one thing for the sake of Allah grows the reward for it. Allah multiplies the reward for it.
Also, we see in this example, that performing a good deed, performing an action is like sowing the seed. When a person sews a seed, what is he doing? He is burying the seed where in the ground, under the soil, it's hidden. It's not going to be seen anymore. And apparently, what has a person done? He has thrown his wealth away. He has destroyed his wealth.
I mean, you bury things that are dead. you bury things that are not useful anymore that are not needed anymore. For example, garbage, how do they dispose it?
Sometimes they throw it in lakes other times they dig deep ditches and then they throw garbage in it. So things that are not needed.
Generally, we put those under the ground, people when they die, then they are buried. But when a person sews a seed, then it is as though he is wasting his money. But actually, what is he doing? He is investing. And in order to invest your money, you have to give it away.
You have to separate yourself from the money. Because if you just keep it with yourself, it's not going to grow. Only when you give it away, then it's going to go.
When a person spends from his wealth, apparently he's lost it. When you put $100 when you put a $50 bill in the box, apparently it's gone, isn't it? You'll probably never see it again. But actually, what are you doing, you're investing in. And it's possible that you don't see the results today. You don't see the benefits now. But Allah Subhana, Allah will reward you, as long as the intention is sincere. But you have to do something you have to give it away. Also, we see from this example, that Allah subhanaw taala is very just and he does not waste the effort of anyone. The actions that we do this other part that we give, sometimes it doesn't return to us in its original form, maybe $50 a
week you give $100 away, you give a camel away, it's not with you anymore. But Allah is just and he gives a reward. He multiplies the reward.
And sometimes it's given in adonia. But definitely it will be given in the
also we see from this example, that Allah subhanaw taala looks at the quality and not just the quantity. What is the example of have one small, tiny green, one green, but because it is given with sincerity, it is of the pure wealth that a person owns. When he gives even one Hubba one grain for the sake of Allah, because of its quality, that one have been even is appreciated. So much so that their award for it is multiplied 700 times, nine times we wonder, five cents, what happens is we're going to make this change and sometimes changes is lying around in our house, just wasting away.
Sometimes it's just floating in your wallet, floating in your car.
But if you spend it in the way of Allah, that one cent that's been lying around for so long, that change that bothers you so much. It could bring you so much reward in the hereafter. Remember, it's not just the quantity, it's also the quality. And if everybody gives only one cent, if 100 people give one cent How much does that make? $1?
If 1000 people give one cent, how much does that make? $10.
And if you give one cent that alone multiplies it 700 times how much is that? It's as if you gave $7. So don't belittle even the smallest of charity.
Even if it's just 101 Green,
also received from this example, person reaps exactly what he has sown. You reap what you sow. If you put a hub back in the ground, what are you going to get a plant? If you put a plastic bead in the ground? What are you going to get? Nothing Have you lost a plastic bead? Yes.
So you reap what you sow, what you give, if it's a good quality, if the habit is of good quality, your plant is also going to be a good quality. If it's a poor quality, the plant is also going to be of poor quality.
So it's the intention as well, that matters. We also see that when a person saw the seed when he puts the grain in the soil, can you just forget about it?
Can you just forget about an expect that Oh, it's going to grow into a beautiful plant one day and I'm going to have so much can you just expect that? No, what does he have to do? He has to take care, he has to put the fertilizer he has to make sure that the plant gets enough sunlight, the plant gets enough water and only then will the plant grow properly. Similarly, once we have given sadaqa What do we have to do? We have to protect and preserve the reward.
A good deed a good action must be followed by good actions.
Otherwise, the bad actions What are they going to do? They're going to nullify the reward of the good actions. When you plant a seed, when you put a seed in the ground, it's possible that a lot of
weeds also grow. And if you don't take those weeds out, what's going to happen your plant is eventually going to die.
So, protecting and guarding the Sadako from being wasted is also very important.
And we see over you that in particular method alladhina Yun mokona feasterville, Allah has been mentioned, those who spend were in the way of Allah on the propagation of the so we see that there is more reward in spending, where to support the deen of Allah than on spending on individuals or just on yourself or just on your family. When a person spends in the way of Allah, that spending brings him more reward. If you think of it, when you spend on a person, for example, your mother, your sister, your friend, you get instant reward. For example, the smile on their face, the thank you letter, the thank you note, a call something or the other, and you get instant reward, you get
instant gratification. But when you spend in the way of Allah, for example, you drop something in the box, you put something in the box, who's going to say thank you to you, people are not going to come and say thank you to you.
But on the Day of Judgment, that one thing that you gave in the way of Allah, the reward for it is going to be multiplied. That reward is going to be 700 times more, and Allah subhanaw taala can increase it as much as He wills.
So spending in the way of Allah is much better than spending in other causes. We learn from a hadith which is mentioned urban magic, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam said that whoever sent wealth to be spent in the way of Allah and stayed behind himself.
Whoever sponsored whoever spent his money, why to support the Nova. And himself, he stays behind me he doesn't actively participate in supporting the deen of Allah.
What's the reward for this person, he will be rewarded for every 100 he spends the reward of 700.
This is our award for who the person who only spends, but does not actively participate. And whoever fought himself for a less pleasure, and also spent his wealth in this cause. So what does it mean? That he's not just spending the money, but he is also participating actively himself. It's not just as money, but it has time, his energy, his efforts, his talents, than what's the reward for him, he will be rewarded for every day,
the reward of 700,000 700,000 their home?
And a person who only gives money, how much does he get 700. But the person who gives money and time and effort, how much does he get 700,000. So whenever you have to spend in the way of Allah, and that means spending on yourself as well sometimes, and putting in your time as well. For example, coming to the school, you have to pay the fees, you have to pay for the ride, some of you have to pay for the residents, then you have to pay for the books, I mean, one book after the other one course after the other, every month, you have to buy books.
So when you have to spend $1 brings out much 700,000
can you ever make that much money yourself in one day, in one and a half years?
But when you spend in the way of Allah, this is the reward.
Not just your money, but your effort and your time. When you spend for the propagation of the deen, then what are you doing? You're not just benefiting yourself. You're also benefiting mankind, you're also benefiting the people around you. Therefore, the reward is more.
This is why Alice has a long West car and early allies vast, he has a lot of reward to give. How much do you want?
How much do you want? So it's up to you whichever word you want, do the math and spend in the way of Allah.
So there are many lessons that we learned from this.
We learned in the previous is that Allah is the Wali of boo and Latina Amma know that he is the caretaker. He's the one who cares for them, He is the one who provides for them, He is the one who rewards them for their efforts. So when a person spends in the way of Allah, this is the reward that he gets. And if he spends for the thought, What is he going to get? How much can they give nothing.
We see from this ayah we learn from this I bought the mercy of a loss of hunger, that how merciful he is how kind he is. He gave one However, he gave one thing in his way and he multiplies the reward so many times
So many more times.
Sometimes we spend only a little bit in the way of Allah. And we get the reward immediately in this dunya even, that is much more than what we have spent.
We learn at the mercy of Allah again, that Allah is the one who has given us everything. And if we give it in his way, then he's promising us more reward, in return, much more benefit, in return.
Sometimes to get Islamic education, to educate ourselves and educate our children about the deen, sometimes we have to spend a lot of money, you go to an institute, and they ask you for his and you wonder, this is the dino oma. And it's interesting to say, What's the idea for this idea is actually a gift. So anyway, when a person has to spend his money to learn about the thing, to educate his family about it, then if he remembers this idea that everything that I'm spending, I'm getting reward for it, it's like an investment, whose benefits I will see later. Because when you're putting the seed in the ground, instantly, you don't see any benefit. But after some time, then you get the
benefit. It takes an entire season for the plant to come forth for you to get the grains in your hand. It takes a long time.
So similarly, when you're investing, it might take time, but the benefit will come.
Low mark is similar to masa, he doesn't need our money. This is used for us to earn as much as we want. And along the way, it was really amazing. So is nothing also see after again, this found like we I when we read there's so much lesson to learn and just you have to open your mind and it says the law was an alien. He's was Yeah, he's giving us he's giving us this knowledge.
whatever we're doing this for ourselves actually.
Exactly. And the part of the law who is here and early on law is vast, and he is also knowing about the knowledge of a law. We learned from Switzerland around 59. The woman has gotten me working in a limo her when I have button field automatic only when a lot of in when I was in, in Africa, the movie, not a leaf falls, but he knows of it. A leaf even when it falls, he knows of it. So when you give even a cent in the way of Allah, He knows of it. And no green is there within the darkness of the earth, some sort of God that you give in the darkness of the night when nobody's watching you. And no moist or dry thing, but that it is written in a clear record. He is West there, he can give a
lot of reward. And he is early and he knows exactly what you're giving.
So there are many lessons that can be learned from this ayah First of all, we see that methadone, ladina Yun feel Kona Amala home that a person must spend from his own Well, in the way of Allah.
Sometimes we see that women they spend from home from their husbands Well, why? Because their husband is one who's making the money. And she's not the one who's earning. So what does she do? She spends from her husband. So obviously, if there's mutual understanding between the two, it's alright. But if you think of it, women also they own their jewelry, which is probably much more money than what their husbands have in the bank. So when a person spends of his own money of his own possessions, then that is what brings more reward.
Also, we learned from this ayah that a person must spend in the way of Allah, not in her own places
that spending brings reward. Spending in incorrect ways is not what brings your wife to a person. Sometimes we see that people want to support the dean or they want to spread Islamic knowledge and what did they do? They forward emails that have information that is not authentic. Somebody sent an email and at the end, they say forward forward. And you're like, Okay, forward to my entire mailing list and you spam other people's mailboxes. And remember before forwarding any email, look at the evidence, is there any evidence that is given, if there is evidence, then only forwarded if there isn't, and there is no point and you will be asked if you spread something wrong, as well.
So the person should spend in ways that are helpful. When he's spending or when he's doing something to promote the deen of Allah, then he should promote authentic Islamic knowledge. Sometimes we see people distributing books or cards or material that is not authentic. Always whenever you have to spread anything like that make sure that it is authentic.
When a person spends in the way of Allah, that Allah Subhana Allah does not just reward him for what he has spent but he also rewards him for his intent.
mention of spending from the Hadees that I mentioned to you that when a person intends to do something good, Allah writes a good deed for him one good deed when he actually does it, then there is more reward. When you intend to give a gift to someone, will they know about it?
When you only think of it in your mind, does a person know that you're thinking of giving them a gift? No. And let's say you don't end up giving it to them? Are they going to thank you for it? No. But when you intend to give something in the way of Allah, just for your intention, you get the reward.
Also, we see that when a person spends in the way of a lot and he must keep the conditions of spending in mind as well, that sometimes when we read these verses, whether in the arena, Yun Fukunaga, who is a bit less committed he has everything I spent, can be multiplied 700 times, what do we think of that I should give everything of mine away.
Sometimes we think like that.
For example, I mentioned to you about your jewelry and it's possible that some people think I'm going to give all my jewelry away.
So when a person spends in the way of Allah, he should remember the proper manner of spending and what is that proper manner that a person should spend in moderation. We learn into little for fun is 67 that one larina either and Falco Lemieux, sufu, while amico to work anabaena Delica kawana. And those who when they spend, do so not excessively nor sparingly,
meaning they don't spend everything, nor are they miserly, that they don't spend anything, but what is their way, their way is off moderation, between the two between what between being extravagant and between being stingy.
We learned earlier that
whatever
that you can give comfortably, whatever that you can give and you will not become dependent on others. Then you can give that in the way of Allah
because it is FISA vilella it is an obedience to Allah. I for example, if a person spends in the way of Allah He gives her the why, because one of the benefits of Southern pines that saticon averts calamity.
So when he gives us a call, so that the benefit can be that it averts calamity, what is that he's spending in obedience to obey, he's not making up his own way, that only if I slaughter a black cow or a Black Goat, then this difficulty is going to be awaited for me. If he doesn't, that would be incorrect. But if he's spending anything, any further, as long as it is in obedience to Allah, reward is the same. You have to preserve it for the class afterwards as well.
One very important lesson that we learned from this is that a person must spend in the way of Allah. We spend on many things we spend on ourselves, we spend on our children, our food, eating out, clothes, shopping, luxury. Similarly, on a vacation, we spent on so many things, but over here spending in the way of Allah to support the deen of Allah. That is what brings most reward. We learn about the companions of the Prophet SAW the Lotus on them, how much they would spend in the way of Allah with man or they learn who he gave 1000 camels 1000 Deneuve when, at the time of the book, also we learned about so many other companions, who obey them and what did he do? He spent half of
his money, half of everything that he earned, everything that he possessed
avacado the land What did he do?
He took everything.
There are levels of excellence.
So we see that we have to spend for the deen of Allah to support the deen of Allah. Look at what we spend on ourselves. And look at what we spend for the deen of Allah.
Just compare, how much is it that I spend on myself every week? Every month? And how much is it that I spent on the deen of Allah every year? How much just do the comparison
because when we spend for the deen of Allah, then it will bring reward, then it will bring more reward.
Let's listen to the recitation of the same
method
actually have that in.
Santa be lucky

and Latina. unifi kona am Wella home feasable in there, those people who spend their wealth in the way
Allah, those people who spend their wealth to support the deen of Allah, in obedience to Allah, for the sake of Allah. And then what do they do? So Malaya to be Runa, then they do not follow Ma and for call that which they have spent, they do not follow it with what Mannan with reminders of it, when other nor injury,
we see that when a person spends in the way of Allah, for when a person hears this, the reward for spending in the wave Allah, what does he do? He makes the intention for spending in the wave Allah. In this ayah the etiquette of spending has been taught, that when you spend when you have spent in the way of Allah, then what is it that you should avoid? What is it that you must stay away from? Because if you don't stay away from it, what is it going to do? It's going to destroy yourself.
Just as for example, when you plant a seed, when you sow a seed, what happens? The plant grows and along with the plant, what else grows? weeds? What do you have to do, you have to get rid of the weeds because if you don't, they're going to destroy your plant.
So over here, Allah is warning us that these things you have to stay away from because if you don't, they're going to ruin your sadaqa. So those are spent in the way of Allah for the sake of Allah, and then lay up aroona used to be erroneous from the bar, it bar which is to follow an action with another, to do one thing after another. So what's the first action they did? spending in the way of Allah? So what is the second action that they don't do? That they don't follow that spending with one or the other?
The word mandolin is from the root letter is mean noon, noon.
And the word man is used for favor for a benefit that a person gives to another. And remember that the word man literally means to cut something, to cut something off. Why is man called man? Because when a person gives a favor to another, when a person shows favor to another, what is he doing? He's cutting his need off. He's cutting his dependence off. Or sometimes when a person restores a huge favor upon the other, what is he doing? He's cutting off his tongue,
that the person who is benefiting cannot say a thing to him,
isn't it?
The person who is on the receiving end, no matter how much injustice is being done against him, sometimes he can't say a word. Why? Because it's in gratitude, the same man literally means to cut off, and man is used for a favor. And remember that man is of two types. First of all, it is man welfare. It is to show a favor to someone how through one's action, which is to bestow a favor on someone. And it is in particular use for a favor that is very huge. That is big. That is endless. For example, Allah says fellahin eduroam, right arrow mamnoon mamnoon is from one as well meaning it's an idea that is never going to be cut off. It's endless. It's huge. It's immense. Also, we read
in the Quran, laqad men, Allahu Allah, meaning Allah has bestowed a huge favor upon the believers, how when he sent amongst them a messenger. So man, first of all, is through action, which is to show favor to someone to give something to another that is of benefit to them. Secondly, the word man is man built out, which is to mention, do another, the favor that you have done to him the favor that you have showed to him,
that for example, the person gives money to another person sponsors, someone. And what does he say? Look, I spent this much on you. And what are you doing? I gave you this much. And you never said thank you to me. I sent you food. Did you like it? I didn't hear anything. I didn't get any response. This is what man to talk about the favor that you've bestowed on the other in order to remind them in order to make them feel bad in order to show off.
So mine is to remind the other of the favor that you've shown to them. And remember that this could be through tongue that a person says such statements and sometimes it can also be through attitude through a person's behavior. The way that a person deals with another
that he belittles him or he considers him less, it could be directly and it could also be indirectly. For example, it could be directly talking to him. I gave you this much
You should listen to me. Or it could be indirectly that a person talks to other people. I gave her so much I spend on her every, every year, every month. And this is what she does to me. She doesn't even listen to me. So mine could be directly and it could also be indirectly and remember that man can be towards people towards the, towards the one who is needy. And some people have the audacity to do man towards Allah so
that when they spend in the way of Allah, they think as if they're showing a favor to Allah. The thing is, if they're doing a favor to the deen of Allah by spending on the deen of Allah, which is why when they spend on the deen of Allah, what do they want, they want some benefit in return. They want some appreciation and in return, they want something or the other in return. Why? Because it is as though they are showing a favor to Allah Yama, noona alayka and Aslam, we learn about the hypocrites that they show favorite to you, or prophets or a lot of Islam that they have become Muslim, that the hypocrites consider that just because they are Muslim, they have done a huge favor
to you. But the fact is when a person spends in the deen of Allah, Who is he benefiting? himself?
we learned earlier what unphysical feasibility law when a telco VAD, Camila taluka that spending the wave Allah and do not throw yourself for destruction. Because if you don't spend in the way of Allah, what are you doing? You're harming yourself, you're not doing a favor to Allah. So what's the etiquette that when a person spends in the way of Allah, he should not follow that spending with one,
one or other, nor any injury, what is other, or that is a hurt an injury that is inflicted upon who a living beings, it could be physical, and it could also be emotional. It's a discomfort suffered by the burden or the rule. So what is other, for example, that a person spends on the 14 on the poor person, and after giving him the money? What does he do? He humiliates him in front of others.
He reminds him, he mentions what he has done. And as a result, he hurts the poor person.
So Malaya to be Runa and Falco, My men will either give me examples of man and other.
For example, sometimes we spend on somebody, and we want some benefit in return.
For example, there is a particular person and you like them, you want to be friends with them,
talking about same gender. So you want to be friends with them, you go to the same school, and you learn that they passed a test what you do you give them a gift, or you greet them, or you call them over.
You say come over to my house. So what are you doing, you're spending on them, you have a party in your house, you invite them, what are you doing, you're spending in return. Now you want something in return from them, for example, that they should also call you over, they should also give you their notes, or share their assignment with you. And when they don't you tell them or you tell somebody else, you know, I invited her to my house, she came over three times already. And she cannot even do this much for me.
And sometimes we actually do this, that we expect some kind of benefit from those people whom we have spent in some way or the other. And when they don't meet our standard, when they don't benefit us in return, then we remind them, or we humiliate them in public, or we say something to them, that gives them other that hurts them. So when these people when they spend in the way of a love, they don't follow that spending by man nor by other and for other. For example, a person reminds the athlete about what he has spent upon him. Or he says such remarks that you're always asking, you're always begging, you're always in need. I gave you this much. For example, if a machine is having,
you know, some fundraiser, or person says they're always having fundraisers
without realizing the fact that you're always coming to the masjid.
Right. So when these statements are sad, when people make such statements, what happens? It hurts people. It's other or for example, a person mentioned to others about this other country has given
someone confides in you and they tell you that they're in need,
and you spend something on them, you give them something, you give them a pair of clothes, you give them their money, you give them money for the food, and you mentioned it to their friends, or you mentioned it to other people.
Is it going to hurt them? Is it going to hurt the poor person is going to hurt the needy person. Of course it's going to
remember that when you're giving to someone, Allah has given you the opportunity. Allah has given you the battlefield.
And you should be thankful for that opportunity.
And boasting at this time are hurting the other person is not the way of the believer. So these people when they spend in the way of Allah, they don't follow it by man or other. Allah says the home agita home in their opinion for them, they have their reward with their Lord, they have their award secure with a loss of hands on remember the word in the, in the gives the meaning of being with someone in place, being with someone in place, first of all, it has other meanings as well but first of all in place. So what does it mean by that, that the reward is with Allah, it is secure with Allah subhana wa tada and when will they get the reward in the Hereafter, because we learned
the genital for those the highest level of gender, it is below that our shovel loss. So it is with Allah very close to Allah.
Also, India, being with gives a meaning of that it is secure with someone that it is definitely going to come from them.
So it is with Allah, meaning Allah Himself, He will definitely reward them.
Because it is preserved with him, it is secure with him. Just imagine your children, when they have something that they really like. And when they're afraid that somebody is going to take it. What do they do? They go up to their moms, and they say, can you please keep it for me? Keep it safe for me. So it is with a law it is secure with a law, they're definitely going to get it and also remember that when this has mentioned that it is in the in the law or in our in our opinion, what does it mean? That the reward is huge. The reward is very events. Just as that there are that Abubakar added on who was taught for fiddly mafia, Latin men are in the
Forgive me with forgiveness that is from you. Why because forgiveness that is from you is going to be huge, it is going to be immense. So similarly, the reward that comes from Allah is going to be huge, it's going to be immense. No one can get that same reward lahoma eduroam in the lobby him for them, there is a ward with their Lord, wonder how often I lay him whenever we are soon. And they will have no fear, nor will they have any regrets. They will have no fear. Fear of what
fear of losing what they have. When you have something, when you have your jewelry, when you have your house, when you have your clothes, when you have your books, when you have your possessions. What fear Do you have all the time,
you might lose it, somebody might steal it,
which is why people have insurance. And they have this and they have that to make sure that if for some reason, they end up losing it or something happens to what they love, something happens to what they own, it can be replaced. This is the fear that we have, the more we have, the more fear we have, isn't it, the more we have, the more fear we have. But when you have deposited what you have at a very secure place, immortalizing it, then will you have any fear, you won't have any fear. So similarly, when you have something, as long as you have it, you will be worried. But once you give it to a loss of panel data, it is secure, and you won't have any fears anymore. And if you're losing
it, you will be content, that it's secure. It's safe, I've sent it ahead for myself. So when a person spends in the way of Allah, his fears are eliminated.
That when a person gives his wealth away, he is worried about if it's going to come back to him. For example, even when you're putting your money in the bank, if you're putting your jewelry in the locker or something, what fear Do you have, what if something happens? What if something happens, which is why people go to such lengths to secure what they own to preserve what they want. But when you have deposited with a loss of panel data, there is no fear because women are still coming alive.
If Allah has said that he's going to give the reward, who is more truthful than him? He is going to give it he is going to definitely give you the reward for it. Also we see that when a person spends he has another fear, what is that? fear of poverty,
fear of poverty, that if I give this away, then I will have less, I will not have enough.
For example, if you have a sandwich for your lunch and the person
Next To You does not have anything. You want to share it with them. But what fear do you have? What if I'm still hungry? Right? It's a natural fear, we have that fear, I still might be thirsty, I still might be hungry. This is the fear that we have when we spend in the way of Allah. But when a person spends in the way of Allah, Who with sincerity with conviction, then he is sure that Allah will take care of me. Allah is the one who is going to take care of me. So if I give it alone will recompense me somehow or the other. And sometimes you may have seen that you give half of your lunch away and somebody brings you something much more. Something that you weren't even thinking something
that you couldn't even imagine. Somebody brings you lunch to take home with you.
So there is going to be no fear upon them. What is the lesson when our homie afternoon, nor will they grieve? nor will they have any regrets? Now, what are some of the regrets that people have when it comes to money?
That for example, once they have spent, they have the regret of spending, I should not have spent that.
Or they miss what they have spent what they have given away?
Sometimes when you're very emotional, like, Okay, let me just give this away. Let me just give this away as well. I don't need it. It's awful. It's extra, let me give it away. And then all of a sudden, you realize you need that thing. But if you have given it for the sake of Allah, what do you think it's okay? Yes, I need it alone will give me salami Arsenal, they will not have any worries, Allah will take care of them.
Also, we see that a person has grief when he loses what he loves. When he has it, he's afraid, I might lose it. When he loses it, he is grieved. He feels sorrow, that I've lost it, it's been taken away from me. But when a person gives it away himself, when you make the decision yourself to give it away, then he does not have that feeling of loss. For example, if you give a piece of your jewelry, or somebody that you own yourself in a way
that makes you feel very happy.
But if that same piece of jewelry or an equivalent amount is stolen, and you can't find it, how do you feel? How do you feel
a sense of loss. But when you've given it in the way of Allah yourself, then you don't have that sense of loss. And more specifically, over here less often earlier, whenever we actually refers to their state in the
yes in the dunya. You see these benefits that when a person gives something away, that he does not have fear, and he does not have any regrets. But specifically in the in the Hereafter, this person will have no regrets, and he will have no fears. Why?
Because he will get much more. He gave only a Hubba. And now he gets 700 Why would he have any fear? Why would he have any grief, any sorrow? He's not going to have any fear or any grief. We learn intellectual, fragile. Yeah, a 200 appsumo to my inner ear jury in our beaky rally at the righteous it will be sad at the time of that, that or reassured soul returned to your Lord well pleased and pleasing to Him. Now how often and no grief either.
Let's listen to the recitation.
As from one, reminding the other of the favorite that you've done.
It is something so disliked, that we learned from a decent Muslim, there are three persons with whom Allah would neither speak to on the Day of Judgment, nor will he look at them, nor will he purify them when a home or other will leave and for them is a painful punishment.
Who are these people?
Allah is neither going to speak to them, nor is he going to look at them, nor is he going to purify them and for them as a painful punishment. Who are they? First of all, Alma nano Bhima, our
Alma Nyan, who is my nan, the one who reminds the other of the favor that he has bestowed upon the other. The one who reminds and then we also learn from the Hadith that the second person is the one who drink
drags his lower garment on the ground. Why? out of Americans on the ground he deliberately wears long clothes? Why should they drag behind him? Because it's a sign of arrogance? And also the third person is that the one who sells goods by false phones? The one who sells something How? By false or that he says, yes, it came in fresh today. And he swears by Allah. Why? Just so that he can sell? What's the punishment?
Allah will not even look at such people. Who the one who reminds the other of what he has given to him, it is something so disliked by Allah, what does Allah say? Oh, Lamar, rufen good word kind speech, what is Marlo fat which is acceptable to the Oracle, to the people, to the culture to the society and also Most importantly, to the religion of Allah. appropriate word kind word acceptable words? Well, mostly Latin and ultra forgiveness. They are what they are hired on, they're much better than what means other than a charity yet very high either that is followed by other that is followed by injury. Now, you may wonder only as I as mentioned over here, mine is not mentioned. But
the fact is, that other includes mine.
When a person is reminded of a favorite that he has been shown, then it hurts him.
So unless has over here, that kind speech, Kano model of homophily omafra. They're much better than a sadhaka that is followed by other why, because a sadhaka that is followed by other it's wasted. And how no maruf Kumar Pharaoh, if you do that, it's much better.
Now what is called Omar roof refer to, we see that sometimes the person comes to you, and they ask you for something, but you don't have anything to give them.
You yourself are needed, you cannot give them or even if you can give them at that particular time, you don't have anything. For example, you open up your wallet, you open your bag, and you can't find anything that you can give.
You have your cards you just have don't have any cash. so in this situation, if a person is asking, what should you do? Just ignore them and give them a rude look. Or say to them, stop asking me I'm sorry, you cannot help in a very rude way know? What should a person say? called new model, he should excuse himself? How very gently. We learn from sort of Islam is number 28. We're in majority of London are in home at law or mid middle of big they'll do have for cola home cola Missoula. And if you must turn away from the needy, awaiting mercy from your Lord which you expect, then speak to them a gentle word. If you have to refuse, then how should you refuse, not harshly, not rudely, but
gently, kindly, in a kind manner, excuse yourself politely. But we see that the Prophet sallallahu wasallam he never refused.
We learned from a hadith that is mentioned what ohare and Muslim jabesh said that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu Sallam was not asked for anything at all. To which he said no,
then we might think that all the profits are a lot of them was perhaps very, very rich, he had a lot of money.
We know that at the Battle of trench, hunt duck, the Prophet sallallahu wasallam had two rocks tied to his stomach because of hunger.
The profits are allowed in salon, he would not say no to anybody. We learn once that offer man, he saw the profits are alone a sudden wearing something very beautiful, very beautiful garment. And he said this is so beautiful. Please give it to me. And you know the profits are lessened and he gave it to him.
And if somebody asks us we like
the profits or about a sudden never refused. He never said no. Sometimes Okay, you cannot give a lot.
But maybe you can call him
because a good word is also
a good word is also a charity.
Then Allah says mama Kira and also forgiveness now what does it mean by forgiveness? Sometimes you say, very nicely. I'm sorry, I do not have anything right now. I cannot give you but maybe I can give you another time. But what does a person say? He continues with his story. And he's like, No, you give me now he's very persistent. Sometimes you happen to be in a Masjid in the beginner fundraiser, for example, and you get very upset. Sometimes it upsets you, you've been there to praise Allah. And the fundraiser is going on and on and on. So at that time, Allah says Murphy's Law forgiveness, okay.
Just let it go. muffler forgiveness. So forgiveness for what forgiveness for they're asking you repeatedly
For their being very persistent in asking you, or for asking you more than they should, they should ask for a little bit, what are they doing? You give a little bit and they say more, you give more. And they say more. So when a person keeps on asking how do you feel very upset? And then you're like, I should just say something to him now.
Or sometimes what happens? The other person he's asking very rudely,
that also upsets us. What does Allah say? mafia?
Sometimes they take, and then they're very rude. After taking, what does Allah say, mafia, it's better, to say a good word, and forgiving, then giving a sadhaka and following it by other, what would other be that, for example, a person is very persistent and asking, and you finally give them like, Now be quiet, Don't ask anything, and you hurt their feelings.
That is not as good as just a polymer roof on its own. It's better to not spend, if a person is going to follow the charity by other.
And if a person is not able to spend that he should actually say, totally move. And he should forgive the person who was asking,
we learned from a hadith which is mentioned in a Muslim, that there is a sadhaka, do an every Muslim, every Muslim must give sadaqa. If he cannot give because he has no money, then let him work. So that he can support himself and then give charity. Sometimes you say I don't have, what can I give? What did the Prophet say? work, make money and spend that if he is unable to work? he's unable to work, he cannot work. For example, you're a woman, you have children, you can't work. Your husband doesn't allow it's an appropriate for you to work, then what should he do? Then let him help someone in need of his help. Helping another is also subtle?
If he does not do that, then let him come on that which is good. What should he do? If he cannot help someone, she's very tired, she's very exhausted at the end of the day, then what should she do? She should command that which is good. tell other people about that which is right. If he does not do that, then he should not do evil, or harm others, he should stay away from disobeying Allah, he should stay away from harming others. And if he does that, if he stays away from harming other people, then even that will be written for him as a sort of
Kolmogorov mcphatter. Sometimes when you read these verses were like, I don't have much to give, what can I give? First of all, we see even a hub is valuable. And even if you can't afford that, then how do you model muffler that is better will mahogany and honey, and Allah is free of want. And he is also most forbury He is very tolerant. Why does the law say this over here that aligns Lennie, he doesn't need your charity, that after giving your charity, you're reminding the people about what should give him
a less money, he doesn't need you. He doesn't need your charity. If you want it, he could have given everybody what they need what they want, isn't it so if he has given to us, he could give it to them. But he gave more to some and less to others. Why? So that those who have more have the opportunity to spend to earn some reward. Allies money, he doesn't need you. But he has provided you with an opportunity to spend. So when you spend, don't follow it by other. Don't follow it by man.
Don't think yourself is very rich or very wealthy or very generous? No, it's a thief that Allah has given you. We don't have a Hadith, which has mentioned it's a Muslim, who didn't who said the Prophet sallallahu Sallam said, well son of Adam, spent and I will spend on you. What does Allah say? The Prophet sallallahu Sallam said that Allah said, that all son of Adam, spend and I will spend on you, Allah is honey, he is rich, he can give you and he is also highly, who is usually the one who does not punish immediately. The one who does not call to account immediately, we see that sometimes when we give sadaqa we follow ourselves by man and other. Sometimes we don't say it. But
we think of it in our mind.
Sometimes we follow it by others. Sometimes our behavior after spending is not appropriate. We think of ourselves as very generous. We think of ourselves as very righteous. I'm so nice. It helps that person I gave 10% of my money, but allows honey, that despite your arrogance, and despite your man and other, Allah does not catch you immediately. Allah does not punish immediately. And also haleem over here is relevant because sometimes we spend
We give sadaqa. And what happens? We don't know exactly where it has gone. But Allah is hiding meaning when you give for his sake, with the right intention, in the right manner with wealth that is pure, then Allah will reward you for it. We all know about the Hadith about the man who, once he said that, I'm going to give her the fight night. And what did he do? He ended up giving the car to a prostitute. Next night, he ended up giving sadaqa to the thief. And then to a rich person. What was he told that it's possible that your sadaqa prevented the prostitute from doing that which is prevented the thief from stealing, and encourage the rich man to give. So we don't know where our
southern is going. That about man and other that once we have given something in the way of Allah, we should forget about it. If I give and forget
that you give in such a manner that your left hand doesn't know what the right hand gave. But even you don't realize what exactly you give. How much is it that you give? Sometimes we will immediately start doing the math. Okay, I'm giving this much money it's 10% in gonna take out this much money.
Let's listen to the recitation.
Honey.
As for muffler, one is to forgive the poor person, or to forgive the beggar for asking you persistently. But muffler literally what does it mean set to cover. So muffler over here also means that covering the poverty of the poor person, and not disclosing it to others, that is better than a sadhaka that is followed by other
well, Mahoney and Halle meats as well as setting us, I don't need your soda. If you're going to follow it by Monday and other You're wasting your reward.
And it's better for you to say something that is kind and to forgive other people. Sometimes we think that goodness is only in spending money. And then we can say whatever we want, we can do whatever we want. But the fact is that if a person does other funny followed by bad actions, what is he doing? He's nullifying the sadhaka. Instead of wasting his money, what should he do? He should focus on paluma roof, improving his flock and Rafa forgiving other people.
Sometimes when we're giving some thought to another, we think that we have so much and we can given the other person who doesn't have anything and then we try to control them or we try to say things to them, which are inappropriate. And we forget that it's possible that the tables may turn in the future. You may have heard of stories in which people who were rich, now they're begging and the beggars who were begging yesterday. Now they are the ones who are giving all of us have heard stories about that.
Yeah, you had Latina amanu or you who have believed alladhina amanu are being addressed. And the addresses with Yeah, so pay attention, all believers, and listen to this carefully. Because it is either something very important that Ally's commanding you off, or he is forbidding you from something that you must stay away from. So therefore, listen to this attentively, lead to look when you saw the catacomb do not nullify your charities. Do not waste your solder cart. Do what we know is from bear four learn from the word belly. And the word baffling is used for falsehood. And it Paul is to nullify something to make something invalid. Something is done. And then it's wiped off.
So not totally lose a Dakota and South Dakota, Florida, South Africa. Do not make your charities worthless. Meaning do not make the reward of your charity worthless. Do not waste the reward of your charity. How will money by doing one by reminding others of your generosity while other and by hurting those whom you have spent upon either by column by speech or otherwise? Because if a person does man or other after giving sadaqa then what is he doing? He's wasting the reward of his Southern car. Which is why in the previous lecture we learned that our new model will not Fira there are better than a sadhaka that is followed by other it's better to not give sadaqa if you're going to
follow it by
Because when a person gives up, and he follows it by Allah, what is he doing? He's wasting that sonica. So he's losing that wealth and he is also losing the reward. So, over here Allah tells us Do not waste the reward of yourself art by man and other
color colony like the one who, like the one who wastes the reward of his other car, who is he univille comala who he spends his wealth, why?
to show off to the people to be seen by people. The word Viet is from the root letters la Hamza, yeah. Riyadh is also a word which is to show off and the app is also to show off basically, it is from Rukia and Roja means to see. So, the app is to do something, so that it is seen by people.
It is an action that is done why only so that it is seen by other people, it is to show off I service. This is I service, just to do an action, so that the eyes of people are satisfied. And sometimes the eye is used for showing something projecting something that is contrary to reality. So do not waste your sadhaka. Just like the one who spent as well. Why, only to show off to the people. Or when he spends his wealth in South Africa. At the same time, what is he doing? He's showing off? Who is this person? This person is a monastic is a hypocrite. Because we learn about the hypocrites, that they are the ones who do all acts of righteousness, why? Only to satisfy the eyes of others,
only to show off to others. Why? Because when a person shows off, when a person gives other cut to show off, what is he showing that he has a lot of wealth, that he is very generous, that he is very kind to others. We learn insalata Nyssa is number 38 when levina Yun una Amala. Home Ria and
and those people who spend their wealth why to be seen by the people. Also we learned in sort of de Missa what either como la Swati como Casa La, when they stand for prayer, the hypocrites, how do they stand lazy Lee? And why did they stand in prayer then just to show off to the people, when they praise Allah, when they give sadaqa? What's the Nia just to show off to the people. So Allah warns us over here that do not spend like the hypocrites, because their spending does not bring them any benefit. It wastes their what. But the question is, what is included in showing off or what is meant by showing off when it comes to
for example, when a person gives that one, he only gives it in public, so that other people can see it. Or for example, when he gives it after giving it, he mentioned it to other people. Why? So that he is praised for it.
So that he is appreciated for it.
I gave this much money to so and so I sent food to such and such person. Why? So that he is being praised.
And also sometimes people show off to establish their superiority, their supremacy over others. Because when a person is giving, when he's the giving hand, then obviously the upper hand is better than the lower hand. So when a person is telling others he's showing to others that he is giving, what is he doing? He's establishing his supremacy. He's establishing his superiority over others.
Can you think of some examples?
For example, if somebody is asking, again, you say, I gave this much yesterday. And so the people who are around they find out that you gave before and now you're giving again, what else is included in showing off to the people?
Sometimes, you know, in our casual conversations, in a casual conversations, we mentioned about what we have given in what we did and what we said and how we were generous. And what happens is that when we mentioned it to other people, sometimes our news very good. We're not showing off, but then afterwards, she didn't praise me. She didn't say anything to be in our near changes afterwards. And sometimes you may have wondered that you start doing something good. And you mentioned it to someone and you never get the trophy to do it again.
Because when we mentioned at that time already is good, and immediately after it changes. So the Anna's showing off to the people when giving sadaqa wastes the sadaqa wastes the reward of the circle.
So my warning is over here that do not waste your sadhaka like the monastic
Who gives other funny ways to reward for it.
Because when a person is giving for the sake of showing off, he's not giving it for the sake of Allah, he's not looking for the reward. If he was really looking for the reward, he would hide that deed, he will protect that deed, he wouldn't tell anybody about it.
While you may know Billa he will your will acid, nor does he believe in Allah. And the last day, we know about the hypocrites about them in Africa, we learnt earlier instead of the buffer woman, a nasty mukuru I'm a nebula he will be Leo will ask any woman who may want meaning, but in reality, they're not believers. So they don't believe in Allah and the Last Day, because if they really believed in Allah and the Last Day, then they would give sadaqa with the right intention not to show off to the people.
For my third rule, so here's example who is example of the one who spends in order to show off to the people come after the software and it is like a smooth hard rock.
The word software is a plural of software with a demo booth at the end. And it's from the roof letters solid fat well, and software is used for a rock or a boulder that is very huge.
And the surface of this rock is very smooth,
you know, some rocks, they're very rough, but some other rocks are very smooth especially if you go by the lake over there and particularly find rocks that are very smooth surfaces very, very soft and smooth. So, so fine is used for a huge rock that is also smooth. So the example of the setup of this person is like that of a stone that is very smooth.
Robin upon it is just meaning on the surface of the rock is an air of fine dust.
Now sometimes when rocks are covered with dust or sometimes soil, what happens if the dust is not washed away? eventually what happens?
Sometimes plants actually grow over there. You will see Danny Danny plants sometimes you see them. But what happens to this rock for our Saba who were beyond heavy rain reaches it. A Saba who from solid well, but and you know about the word usaba. It is to hit the target to reach where one must reach where something is decreed to reach. So our Saba who were below, a weapon hits the rock. The word weapon is from well balanced. And the word wobble is used when a horse finds a lot or when a horse eagerly pursues something without getting tired. It just keeps going on and on and on. And while it is used for a heavy rain, that is also continuous. And it's also used for heavy rain with
huge or big raindrops.
So for a Saba whoever just imagine a heavy downpour falls down. Heavy rain falls down in dense rain upon this rock, what's going to happen to that rock, the soil, the dust is going to be washed away. So Allah says Fatah aka Whoa, so it left it the rain left the rock soil they're barren.
Though it's solid, that is from solid lambda. And Sun is used for something that is very hard and tough and smooth on which nothing grows. It's used for something that is barren and dry. It's also used for something that is lifeless.
It is that solid a certain meaning he turned away the beggar without giving him anything. Nothing came out of him. The beggar the sale came asking, requesting and nothing changed them and nothing affected him nothing moved him Sunday, he was dead and barren. Nothing changed him. So Sunday is something from which nothing issues for nothing grows out of it.
So the rock is covered with dust. And what happens? Heavy rain comes and what does the rain do? It washes away all of that dust leaving the rock buried. This is the example of the one who spends in order to show that temporary for some time something grows. He does something good. There is a layer of dust and maybe on that layer of dust. There is some plants that are growing. But then there is heavy rain. Maybe somebody says something nasty, maybe somebody does not appreciate and what happens
all of that sadaqa is wasted. Or when he does man when he does react. What does that do that via that showing off, it washes away the good deed completely. And this is what happens to the person who does a good deed in order to show off that he gets no benefit for it. He gets no reward for it. lay up for the lunar Allah
in Mecca saboo. They have no power over anything of what they have earned. Mica said what is marketable that which they have earned. Now if you think of it, when somebody gives other, they should get some reward for it. That's what we learned. When you give sadaqa you get reward. So maca refers to reward. But Allah says they have no power, no ability, nothing over what they should have earned, meaning all of that reward has been washed away. Just as the dust that covers the stone, once it has been washed away, can you go collect the dust again? Can you know it's been washed away, and especially if the rain is continuous, if it is pouring down, and the rain is falling down, the
water is flowing? Can you collect the dust again? No, you can't. Similarly, when a person does it, yet, he washes away his good deeds, and he has no ability over it anymore. He cannot have it with himself on the Day of Judgment. And therefore there is no reward for him for this other car that he gives one law who lay idle Komal caffeine and Allah does not guide those people who disbelieve
those people who display over here in particular refers to those who do the Allah does not guide them.
He does not give them any reward for their efforts.
So we see that in this ayah. It has been emphasized that those people who give sadaqa to show off, they don't actually believe in Atlanta last year, when are you a little bit late? you will you will.
Because when a person does something for Allah, when he gives her the hug with sincerity, what does he have in mind, the pleasure of Allah and the reward in the hereafter.
But if he gives it to show off to the people that obviously he's not thinking about the reward, he's not thinking about the pleasure of Allah. So such a person does not actually believe in Allah, or the nasty.
Now there are many lessons that can be learned from this ayah. First of all, we learned about the mercy of Allah, that he addresses the believers. And he tells them about what could waste their charity, not to believe also the quality COVID manual other, sometimes it is so common, sometimes the children doing this, that they give something, and they come and tell their mothers, when they come and tell everybody they announced they want appreciation, because obviously, anything and everything that they've done in life, they've always heard of our good, or a good job. So even when they give sadaqa they want appreciation. And sometimes it is really out of innocence, but it's Allah
has mercy that he's telling us Don't waste your sadhaka
We also learn from this ayah that man other and showing off three things, man, other envia what do they do? They waste they completely nullify the person so
to such an extent that he will have absolutely no reward for it on the Day of Judgment. It's like fine dust that has been washed away by heavy rain, you have no power over it, nothing at all.
Now the question is, then why does a person gives her the power to show off? Why?
What's the problem? the weakness of faith, weakness of even
because if a person realizes that Allah is going to give me the reward people, even if they praise me, what can they give me? How much really can they give me if the focus is on the reward of Allah is on the pleasure of Allah. If the demand is strong, then a person does not do and about react, we all have to remember that VR is a *hole.
It is minor ship.
Because what is ship,
associating a partner with Allah, when you do a good deed, you do it for the sake of Allah, so that he gives you the reward, so that he is happy, but if a person gives us the clock, so that Allah is happy, or so that people are happy, people give reward, what is that? That is also associating partners. So this is minor check, it is critical. And what did we learn that Allah subhanaw taala says that honor, I am the one, one who does not stand in need of a partner, I do not need any partner.
And I told you about the Hadith earlier, that when a person does something for the sake of Allah and also for the sake of others, and that did a lot unaccepted allies pure, and he accepts only that which is pure.
Then Allah says one method will lead in a uniform corner and wider home. And the example of those people who spend their wealth. Why did they spend their wealth, AB de la Latina, to seek the pleasure of Allah mobot is a plural of more.
So those who spend in order to seek the pleasure of Allah what's the root of all
But
raw, but yeah, it's not mean Robert, because it's from raw pleasure. So why do they spend what's their Nia? It's not to show off, but their Nia is to please Allah to make Allah happy.
What else is there Nia with a Beetham and foresee him and assuring reward for themselves the work that beat is from fair that you have done the word earlier with a bit akademin What does that mean? To make something firm? to stabilize something to fix something do be steadfast. So that beaten is confirmation, strengthening stabilization of what men and forcing him from themselves. What does it mean by this
does beat them and unfussy him is understood as the edgeley has been meaning for the purpose of this beat, meaning they spend in order to keep their hearts steadfast upon a man.
They spend, why that's beaten, for the purpose of stabilization, strengthening, strengthening, stabilizing what their hearts upon a man to gain that confidence in a man. Because remember, that when a person does a righteous deed, obviously what does it grows Him in His goodness in his email? And when a person commits sins, what happens? a blackout appears on his art, and he continues into
so that beat them in enforcing him, what does it mean, to keep their hearts that first upon email,
then that beat them and emphysema has also been understood as that they spend while they are sure and certain does meet gives meaning of certainty. What certainty that Allah will definitely reward them for their so that
they spend with that confidence that I am giving it for the sake of Allah, and Allah is going to reward me I'm not giving it for these people. So no matter what they say, I don't care. whatever they're saying whatever they don't say, I don't care. I am giving it for the sake of Allah. So when a person spends with the conviction with certainty that Allah is going to reward me.
And this shows us another thing, that when you do gifts other than be confident about the promise of Allah,
don't be shaky, be confident. And the more confidence you have, the more able you be to give sort of just as for example, we learn about fasting and praying that month Samana Madonna Eamon, what are the seven that whoever fasts Ramadan with faith and expectation of what of reward? So similarly, they give sadaqa with what would that confidence would that certainty that Allah will give reward?
So, why do they give sadaqa for two reasons? What are the two reasons if you are about Latella to gain the pleasure of Allah and secondly, to get the speed min and foresee him min and force him is very important, because nobody else is forcing them to give sadaqa it's themselves, Minh unfussy him from themselves that beat them and unfussy him. So their example is of what Kamata regenitive is like that of a garden. And this garden is situated where this orchard is situated below both in honor high ground or above is from rock Bagwell. And Robert literally means to grow to swell to increase. The word river is from the same root as well, interest because it's the money that grows.
And rubber is used for an elevated land, a high ground.
So a garden that is situated on a high ground on an elevated land, high land on the hill.
And this garden, what happens to it, a father had were beaten, the same heavy rain reaches it. What's the difference between this and the previous example
that was fine there of dust on a smooth rock. That was the soil fine layer of dust. What happened to it? It got washed away with the heavy rain the same word webbing is used. And this one, this garden is situated on a hill up land. So it's very stable. It has a firm ground for that outta hell they're facing the same rain fell upon it and what happened. It produced its vocal, its fruit its produce how many times there failed twice. Double produce double fruit
Compared to another garden.
Now the question is, why does it give double produce? Why? Because the soil is good. The Nia is good. The intention is different.
The hypocrite who was mentioned in the previous ayah the other person, why does he spend to show off to the people, there is no stability in his action. One comment, one negative remark, and that's it, everything is gone. She didn't thank me. She didn't praise me. She hurt my feelings. I'm never giving anything again. Everything washed away. But over here, the same rain comes and what happens? More?
There, feign double sadaqa.
Like we learn about our bucket of the learn who we know about his daughter, I show the line the wife of the Prophet said a lot, isn't it? When she was accused, one of his relatives was someone who had accused her as well. What happened? Initially, he said he was not going to give anything to him anymore because he used to financially support that relative. And afterwards, what did he do? He increased in his financial support. I thought we could have there been more Sadako comes out, there is more benefit, more produce. Why? Because the land is different. Now, what has been mentioned in this ayah is that the garden is situated on a Highland. But is there really a difference of a garden
situated and an upland in a higher place compared to a garden that is situated on low ground? Yes, there is a difference. We know about upland farming, Highland farming, it's much better brings much more produce compared to farming that is done on other land. Why? Because first of all, the soil is good. It does not get flooded with rain, nor is it to dry. There is nothing preventing it from sunlight. And also there's plenty of rain. And if there is no rain, then there is enough moisture compared to just that fine layer of soil on the dust. It's washed away.
But unless As for illumio superhighway, a balloon, and even if a heavy rain does not reach it for balloon, then a drizzle, meaning that a drizzle is also enough fun is from the root letters phenomenon. And fall is used for fine rain for a very lightning thin raindrops drizzle,
fertile meaning then even a little drizzle is enough. A little South Africa is even enough. It suffices it Why? The Nia is good, the intention is good, still, the produce will be good.
So we see that a person who gives up with sincerity, even if he cannot give a lot. But Allah knows his intention, then he's still going to get reward.
So at the end of the day, it's not just the quantity that matters. What is it that's important, the quality, the near the intention
will lower we met our motto universally and Allah is seeing of what you do, meaning he watches all of your actions, he knows your situation, he knows how much you can give and what is it that you are giving
that's listen to the recitation
cannot
do
you want this to be
done
una
una voz de.
So we see that the second example can be understood in two ways. That first of all, the person who is sincere. He is never bearing up giving sadaqa
he is never bearing of giving charity. Whatever opportunity as he gives it, whether it is just a fun or a weapon,
a little or a lot.
Sometimes we wait for the person
time before the perfect state,
but the person who is sincere who wants to do for the sake of Allah, he doesn't care about how much it is or how much you can afford and how much you cannot afford, he gives whatever that he can. And the second way of understanding this is that a person who spend sincerely for the sake of Allah, whatever he has spent, whether it is a little or a lot, he will get immense reward for his son. Why? Because of his sincerity, because of his intention, sometimes the person can give a lot he's giving millions, but because his intention is not good, therefore, it doesn't bring reward, but sometimes it is just one habit. And what happens to it, it turns into 700 Well, La Jolla, Laurie Fuli, Manisha
and alecan increase more than that for whomsoever He wills and remember will love him at our madona buslee Allah is watching and he's not just watching the outward he's watching the heart as well. The state of the heart as well.
Next time
that
one of you like your watch is from newsletters Well, then,
and what or would means to that thing to like something and remember that what is the intense form of hope hope is also to love but what is hard isn't it is pure love. So would any one of you like meaning none of you would like this, this is different for the purpose of income for dinner. Would any of you like an takuna hujan that he has a garden, he has an orchard and this orchard that he has is his sole means of acquiring livelihood and this garden that he has it is of midnight and it is update pumps? What are nubbin and grapevines? Now he does a Florida muffler which is a big pump and Arnab is a Florida arena which is used for grapes as well as grape lights. So he has a garden of
deep bonds and grape vines. And as for irrigation, veggie demon tactical and how rivers flow from underneath it underneath what underneath the trees off this garden, meaning itself irrigated, low rpm and Khalifa Murat and this person, the owner of this garden, he has he has in this garden min Khalifa Murat, every type of fruit. What does it mean by this Khalifa mala, meaning different varieties. He has grapes and he also has dates and colas Ahmad is also understood as that he has fruit throughout the year, throughout the year, he has produced coming from this garden. So an example is given of a person who has a garden, a beautiful orchard that has date ponds that has
grapes, there is water. And there's a lot of variety of the produce.
Just as a man who has spent a lot of time giving sadaqa doing good deeds, and he has acquired them a lot of variety of good deeds. But this person was a Saba one cable. Old Age reaches a meaning he has become very old no kebab is from Canberra is used for greatness for old age over here in particular means old age. So he has become very old. And if he has become very old, if something happens to the garden, does he have time to fix it? Does he have the energy to fix it? No. Okay, if something happens to it, can his children do it Know why? because well, who do we get under our fair and he has children that are Bertha. Bertha is a plural of Larry and Larry for someone who is weak. Now,
why are the children weak, either because they're very young, they're minor, little children dependent on him. Or they're weak because of some illness or lack of talent, lack of ability. So, basically, he has become old and his children are dependent on him, he is very old. So therefore, he cannot take a risk. He cannot suffer any harm with regards to his garden.
Similarly, there is a person who has done a lot of good deeds. He doesn't know how much time he has left. Especially if he's old. He doesn't know how much time he has left. And if something happens to those good deeds, maybe doesn't have the time to make up all of them. What happens in the garden of this man for assault the head aerosol drone, or tornado hits,
or tornado hits the garden, the Assad astronomer I installed and also literally means to squeeze something. And aerosol is used for a tornado, a cyclone or a hurricane. Basically it is wind that rises upwards and violently rotates as well. So just imagine a violent tornado
hits this garden, what's going to happen to the grapevines? What's going to happen to the date bombs destroyed. And this tornado, there isn't just wind in it phenol on it is fire.
It's a fiery tornado, just like a forest fire. So what happens to the garden?
It's burnt up. What's going to happen to the garden of this man? Can he do anything about it? Does he have time? Does he have energy? Does he have any Helpers? No, he doesn't. Would anyone of you like this to happen to him? Allah is asking us Iowa. Would you want this to happen to you? No, you wouldn't. Similarly, why should you do good deeds and waste them?
Why should you do good deeds and waste them yourself, because you never know when your time is going to be up.
This ayah this example has been understood in several ways. First of all, it hasn't been said that this example tells us about the one who spends in order to show off, or the one who spends and follows it by month and other
and the entire saga that He has given the huge amount that He has given that he sacrificed, all of that is vanished, it disappears, it is wasted. And he will not have it in the hereafter.
That it has also been said, and this is the opinion of Mr. bassel Dillon, who that it's not just about the one who gives sadaqa. It's about the one who performs deeds of obedience to a muscle panel data throughout his life.
And asahikawa old age rich, and you say this is very interesting. He has a garden, and he's become very old, and his children are very young at the same time. Why? Because sometimes when people are working in their business, establishing their career, what do they do? They delay having a family, isn't it. So he has sacrificed so much to make that garden to look after that garden to make it successful. Similarly, a person has done so much to do good deeds, he has sacrificed he has kept fast, he stayed hungry. He has spent so much money, he has kept away from his family. But then what does he do? Towards the end of his life, shaitaan comes to him and he begins to disobey of law
soprano, Darla, until all of his good deeds have been consumed, all of his good deeds are wasted.
And we see that in the hereafter. This is going to be the condition of some people, that they will have spent their entire lives doing something doing good deeds, spending, obeying a law, but they did something at the end of their life that wasted all of their deeds that burnt all of their deeds and in the hereafter when they need their deeds most, they will not have them. Why? Because they follow their sadaqa with other they follow their sadhaka with man in his old age, when the children are dependent on him, he is in most need of his garden at that time, but he doesn't have it. Similarly, on the day of judgment, we will be in need of our good deeds. But if we have followed our
good deeds, with sins, with Ria, with mine with other What are we going to have left?
Would any of you want this other questions as I would do? Would any of you want this guy Danica? You bet you know who the woman is? Likewise does Allah explain to you the ad, why not I look for karoun so that you reflect and remember the Falco is to reflect to the different aspects of something. So reflect on the different aspects of this example, and learn a lesson for yourself.
Let's listen to the recitation.
So basically, we learned from this ayah that preserving good deeds is more important or equally important to performing the good deeds.
And what weights are good deeds is rehab, showing off man and other, and we will need our good deeds in the hereafter.
And if we follow our good deeds and dystonia, by actions that nullify them, we're only harming ourselves. Sometimes we put in so much effort in doing something, and then we completely wash it away, we burn that good deed with the comments that we make with the complaints that we make.
So it's important to preserve the good deeds as well after performing, because we never know when our time is going to be.
And remember that this is this example is not just relevant to South Africa, but it's relevant to every good deed as well.
anything you'd like to say before we conclude?
So for example, if you're giving a gift to someone, Is it wrong to give that gift with the intention of making that happy? Again, if you want to make them happy, that is something good, but why do you want them to be happy? or Why are you giving that Why are you giving that gift? The main intention should be for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala? And how will you know that it's for the sake of Allah? That if she doesn't say thank you, or if she gives that gift away to someone, you don't question you don't object. Or if she doesn't give you a gift in return, you don't object.
We learned from this about the importance of near the importance of intention. Sometimes we don't even look at that. We just do actions mindlessly without any intention. It's important to focus on the intention as well
as the recitation from the beacon
method.
