			whether it's in a car or in a classroom or in the masjid or in the cafeteria
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:01
			or it is that people are making their guards sit somewhere so it could be the parking lot.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:29
			So much this could be different places different situations where basically people are together. So
when you are told make space in the assemblies in the gatherings and what should you do ignore no
Allah says FAFSA who make space make space make space for others so that those who are coming they
can also find a place to sit. They can also be comfortable
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:37
			yep sir hula hula calm. And when you will make space for others, then what will happen? A lot will

			alone will make spacious for you alone will make vast for you your risk your time your majelis your

			You have sir hula hula Ko, Allah will make space for you.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:25
			Don't be too tight in your heart. You make your heart big, you make space for the other and Allah
will provide more space for you.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:33
			And the more space you take, and you think that no no, there is no room for other people that really
there will be no room for other people.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:52
			You know, sometimes it's amazing how people are standing in the cellar in a soft and you find a
small gap and you go and stand there. And it's amazing how people just stand and pray easily now.
It's not like every person is you know trying to move with a lot of difficulty. This is Baraka that
Allah subhanaw taala places
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:58
			in the place in the hearts when people accommodate one another.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:05
			So either Peter come Professor Whoville modality FAFSA who EFC hula hula calm?
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:15
			Now this part of the ayah What is it related to gatherings and gatherings majelis we encounter every
single day,
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:49
			at the dinner table, in the living room, in the car, in the classroom, in the parking lot, anywhere
we go where we interact with people, where are we in imageless and it's different everywhere. Now,
what's the rule that Allah subhanaw taala is telling us over here that when you're told to make
space for others, then make sure you make space for others. Don't become arrogant over there. Don't
become selfish over there. Don't become stingy over there. Don't become tight hearted, but rather
have some musar.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:55
			And when you will do that, Allah will definitely increase the space for you.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			When you take care of others, Allah will take care of you
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:04
			When you are considerate of others, Allah will put Baraka for you.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:08
			But unfortunately, what do we use? Sometimes we go and sit somewhere.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:15
			And then we put a bag on the seat next to ours and nobody comes and sits there.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			This is not respectful. This is not being courteous
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:49
			when somebody else arrives, welcome them. Sometimes our reaction is that we're sitting, somebody
else walks in, and it says, Oh, they haven't walked in it says, Oh, they haven't come know, when
somebody comes, it means they need a place to sit. Right? So when they're coming, move a little bit.
make space for them, move your chair slightly. move yourself slightly. Move your bag, pick up your
bag, move over Why? So that the other person can also find a place to sit?
		
00:05:50 --> 00:06:00
			And what's the reward? You have sir? Hello. Hello, can you think there is no space but actually
there is space? There's always space for more. You have sir hula, hula calm.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:04
			And if a person does not make space for others, and what will it lead to?
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:17
			In feelings? Isn't it so? That just imagine you walk into a place other people don't even move? Not
even a little bit? There's a place right next to them. They don't pick up their back. How would you
feel?
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:22
			How would you feel extremely sad, disrespected
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:34
			that other people don't care for you. So it will lead to many problems many conflicts many disputes
if you think about it in these is also in Los Angeles teaching us o'clock good manners.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:46
			What either peeler, and when it is said on shoe zoo, rise, meaning get up and leave, then what
should you do fun shoes, then stand up and leave.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:59
			Don't become stubborn. Don't become arrogant. We're either Akira Lacan, Xu Zhu, Zhu Zhu is from the
real fetters known jeans a NASA and NASA is to rise.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:03
			What does it mean to rise? New shoes? What is new shoes?
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:10
			The rising up a woman against her husband in arrogance in disobedience.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			Similarly, we have learned earlier k for noon, she's
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16
			someone next to her.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:26
			So now she has a means to rise. So when you're told to get up, then what should you do fun shoes
than you should get?
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:37
			Now, why would a person be told to get up? Like for example, people are sitting together, they're
talking. Somebody comes in says Get up and pray. Hmm. So then what should you do?
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			Get up and pray.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:46
			Similarly, you're sitting comfortably? somebody tells you, can you please get me a glass of water?
And then what should you do? Get up and get it?
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			Don't just sit there as if you didn't hear anything?
		
00:07:51 --> 00:08:08
			No. So when somebody comes, especially the person who is elderly, especially the person who is
responsible? Who is the head, who is the in charge, when they tell you get up and do something, or
get up and move from here, then listen to them obey the orders.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:20
			Similarly, it's possible that you're sitting somewhere, somebody tells you, could you please move
from here and sit somewhere else so that there is room over here for other people?
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:28
			Or, for example, somebody tells you, could you please move from here and fill up the seats in the
front? Then what should you do?
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:56
			What should you do? Get up and move from there and go and sit at the place where they're telling you
to sit? Don't sit stubbornly at the back, as if you haven't heard the instruction. No, this is also
disrespect. We're having a private conversation in front of the other is disrespect. We're not
making space for the others is disrespect. Similarly, not listening to the instructions is also this
respect.
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:13
			Similarly, it could be that a person is told, get up and leave now. Meaning get up and do something
else. Now. People are sitting talking, you're told, okay, get up and leave, go home now, go do
something better now, then you should get up and do it. Fun shoes.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:19
			Similarly, it could be that a person has to get up and make space for another.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:34
			Like, for example, you're sitting with your sister, okay? Your sister is older, your mother walks in
your sister tells you get up from here that mom said here, then what should you do? Listen to your
sister, get up and let the older person sit.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:51
			Similarly, sometimes we are in a public place. And you know the sign is written over there or the
instruction is there, that if there is an elderly, if there's a person with children that make space
for them, get up from there and give them the space and what should we do?
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:59
			We get up and make space for them, give them the space. Similarly, sometimes we're sitting at the
wrong place where we should not
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			be sitting at the wrong time.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:10
			Like for example, it says, No standing in the hallway, for example, and we're standing there
talking.
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:33
			Or for example, while the class is going on, we're sitting in the cafeteria. And if the incharge
comes in tells us please get up and go to the class Then what should we do? Fun shoes you don't say
let me just finish my food. Let me just finish my whatever work I'm doing then I'll go No. Once you
have been told, then get up. Fun shoes. Don't become stubborn.
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:37
			What either keylolo common, Shuzo, fun too.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:11:01
			And many times, people think that if they're told to get up, if they're told to move from their
place, they have been disrespected, isn't it? This is what people think that the other person has
not respected them, they have humiliated them. This is not humiliation. Because Allah says funches
allies telling you to get up. And if Allah is telling you to do something, remember there is no
humiliation in that.
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:07
			When a person follows a command of a law, there is no humiliation in that.
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:21
			So there is no humiliation no disgrace in this and in fact, if your rank is actually high, Allah
will elevate you and whose rank is actually high young fella who Latina ama new men come when Latina
Allah Allah,
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:28
			Allah will elevate those who believe among you, and those who have been given knowledge in what in
ranks.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:37
			So in other words, honor, respect is not gained by sitting stubbornly somewhere.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:52
			Honor is gained * by a man and what else are in do things that depending on the level of the
amount of a person, his manager will be high, depending on their aim of the person whose dojo will
be high.
		
00:11:53 --> 00:12:22
			And who is it that will elevate the believing person and the knowledgeable person a lot will young
fella who Latina Ama nomen como La Nina autonoma de la jet will love will be met there Madonna
Hobbit and alesse fully aware of what you do. Whatever you do, unless fully aware of that. What does
it mean that Allah knows your true status? Allah knows how much Eman you have. Allah knows how much
time you have. And Allah knows what you do when you are given instructions.
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:27
			How does a person's Eman increase? How?
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:54
			By obeying the commands of Allah? So many times when the believers are given a command? What address
is used? Yeah, you are Latina, Emmylou? What does it mean that if a person follows that his Eman
will increase? If a person follows it, that means he has IE man, isn't it. So the level of Eman is
determined by what the level of obedience
		
00:12:55 --> 00:13:31
			and the level of obedience is also determined by what the level of knowledge because a person can
only obey when he knows? Right? So the high level of a person is determined by what his man his
obedience, his. And if a person has that, that Allah says he will elevate that person. So don't feel
insulted, don't feel disrespected, if you have been told to move, if you have been told to get up
from your place, where either perilaku Zhu, Zhu Zhu, because your father in law, who Latina ama New
Mexico, were Latino to the Alma de Raja to allow the matter meluna hobby.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:42
			And over here in this ayah, we learned basically about two things. First of all, the etiquettes of
majelis. And secondly,
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:53
			the fact that who truly has honor, the one with the one with a man and the one with armor, these are
mainly two things that we learned from this ayah
		
00:13:54 --> 00:14:04
			The first thing the etiquettes of majelis, what etiquettes do we learn that first of all, we should
make space for others, accommodate others when they come in
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:15
			accommodate others when they come in? And the second thing is that when we are told to move from
somewhere, then what should we do? We should move from there.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:40
			And if you think about it, this is mentioned right after najwa? Because where do people hold their
private conversations in gatherings? Right, so gatherings, and najwa. They have a very deep
connection. We learn from a hadith the Prophet sallallahu Sallam said, No person should sit between
two people without their permission.
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:49
			This is also the etiquettes of gatherings. That when a person comes in, where should he not sit?
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:59
			between two people. They're sitting together and you come and sit right between them creating
distance between them. This is not appropriate. How should a person sit between them?
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:03
			With their permission, ask the message here.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:15
			Similarly, we go somewhere we find an empty spot before sitting over there, we should ask the
people, is somebody sitting over here or not? Can I sit here? Is it okay if I do always ask before
sitting.
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:25
			Similarly, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam said that a man should not make another man get up from his
seat in a gathering in order to sit there,
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:33
			you understand that a person should not make the other move, just so that he can sit there.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:39
			Where we have been told that when you're told to move, then move, this instruction is coming from
who
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:58
			and who is telling you to move any random person, not any random person, the person was in charge,
like, for example, the host, for example, the teacher, for example, the in charge, when they're
telling you to move, move, but it doesn't mean that any person, you know, takes that authority, and
he says, move, move, move from here? No, no, you can't do that.
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:03
			And especially telling people to move so that you can sit there that is also incorrect.
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:11
			Then we also learn in this ayah, that who has true honor to respect those who have event and those
who have,
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:13
			what does it show
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:21
			that those with a man mean, those who have a lot more, and those with him, should be respected by
others.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			So if, for example, you're sitting somewhere
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:33
			and you see, for example, your group in charge pass by then what should you do? Pretend as though
she didn't pass by?
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:52
			What does it mean by the foster home for jealousy, make space meaning show that you welcome her? How
will you do that, by moving slightly by giving a smile, by acknowledging her presence, you
understand, this is very important, because this is part of etiquette, which we neglect a lot.
		
00:16:53 --> 00:17:07
			And similarly, when they have come, then make space for them, get up from there, let them sit, you
understand. Similarly in gatherings who should be at the front, who should be provided space in the
front,
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:33
			at the higher ranks, those with more in, but who do we give more honor to those with perhaps more
edge, which is also very good. And also we give honor to those with more wealth, those who are more
beautiful, those who are more impressive than their personality in their appearance. But that's not
the standard that Allah has given us. What's the standard that He has given us, a man and I,
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:40
			which is why we see that when a person has to lead the Salah, even which person is to be selected.
The person with more
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:48
			not just a person who is older or richer, wealthier know the person with more in
		
00:17:49 --> 00:18:09
			and sometimes you say, what's the big deal? They're late, they're not here, forget about it,
everybody's equal. And you know, go ahead and do whatever you want to know. If a person is
disrespecting a knowledgeable person, who is disrespecting knowledge? And what is this knowledge
that Allah has revealed?
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:16
			If you don't acknowledge a person who has put on in his heart, then what are you dis technology on?
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:20
			What are you not giving respect to the Quran.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:27
			So respect of people of knowledge is in fact, respect of what knowledge.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:39
			The other day we went somewhere and there was a person, she has commanded monkey. He was also over
there. So I told my husband going greet him. He's like, why
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:48
			he's with some other people, you know, if he's sitting with them, let go and greet him because this
is a part of respecting people of knowledge.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:56
			That when you when you see them, when you come across them, don't ignore them. When you see them, go
and greet them.
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:24
			Go and show that you notice them. Go and show that you give importance to them. Because when you
show importance to a person who has knowledge, you're in fact showing importance to the deen of
Allah. It shows that you have respect for Alice, do you have love for Alice Dean? You might wonder
that person doesn't know me that she doesn't know me. Even if they don't know you. So what? Even if
they don't remember you? So what?
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:30
			Yes, it happens sometimes that you wonder that perhaps they're busy, you don't want to disturb them.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:20:00
			But the thing is that Alhamdulillah these days are so many ways of showing your respect to you know,
a person who is more knowledgeable, for example, somebody over here, they asked me that, how can
they, you know, talk to my mother, how can they communicate something with her said, email her
today? You know, we don't want to disturb her. Like, no, no, email her It's okay. Because when
you're emailing someone, then you're not disturbing them, isn't it? So? What are you doing? You're
sending a message when they have time when it's going
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:14
			For them, they will look at it. And she said she emailed her and she got a response as well. And
when we don't send emails when we don't, you know, show anything, then the other person wonders, you
know, perhaps people don't miss me. Perhaps people don't want me.
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:23
			You know, many times after keep convincing My Mother, please come quickly. She was wondering if she
should come for the advanced course or not make you have to come.
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:59
			But perhaps she gets this feeling because she doesn't hear from us. Enough, right. And where she is
right now, people want to learn from her. You know, they're asking her questions. They're writing to
her seeking her Shula. But if we are just doing things amongst ourselves, we don't ask her we don't
ask her how she's doing. You know how her work is going. We don't share things with her. We don't
seek her advice. And perhaps, you know, this is the feeling that she's going to get that you were
perfectly fine. So if you're perfectly fine, then perhaps I should spend my time elsewhere. So if
you want her to come for the advanced course, make sure you communicate with her.
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:01
			Okay.
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:09
			So, anyway, going back to the topic, what do we learn over here, showing respect to who to the
people of knowledge as well?
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:29
			Because Allah raises them. Allah elevates them. Yo ferry, Lahu Latina Amano, main como La Nina
otter, a Madonna jet. If Allah raises the status of those people who have been given knowledge, the
new Are we not to acknowledge them? We must do that as well.
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:36
			We learned from our Heidi's over the data of the learner he said the Prophet sallallahu Sallam said,
If anyone traveled on a road
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:57
			in search of knowledge, if anyone traveled in a road in search of knowledge, Allah will cause him to
travel on one of the roads of paradise. One person is seeking knowledge. In fact, what is he seeking
paradise, the angels will lower their wings in their great pleasure with one who seeks knowledge.
This is how much the angels respect
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:09
			the person who is seeking knowledge that they lower their wings. And the inhabitants of the heavens
and the earth and the fish in the deep waters will ask forgiveness for the learned man.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:31
			The person was learned who asks forgiveness for him, the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth
and the fish in the deep waters, even they pray for the learned person. the superiority of the
learned man over the worshiper is like that of the moon, on the night when it is full over the rest
of the stars. If you see the full moon,
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:59
			compared to the stars, isn't the moon very superior? Of course it is. This is the superiority of the
knowledgeable person over who, over an alphabet over a worshipper. And the learned they are the
heirs of the profits. And the profits leave neither deny nor their home. What do they leave only
knowledge. And he who takes it, meaning he who takes knowledge that in fact he has taken a big
fortune.
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:17
			A big fortune. That's what he has taken. What do we think somebody who has a lot of wealth, somebody
who drives a very expensive car, somebody who lives in a very big house, they're the ones who have a
big fortune, who has a big fortune, in fact, a person who has a big fortune of knowledge. Which
knowledge is it the knowledge of the dean?
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:40
			This is why I show respect to such people. And why is is mentioned over here right after Magennis
right after, you know making space for other people. You know, when you're told to get up and get up
Why is this mentioned over here? Because we feel we have been disrespected if we have to make space
