Good. I mean, all of a sudden automaticity met? I don't know. I
mean, so you know, what have you been on? Holiday? Are you in
hygiene English TV and saw him in the white mold held in mobile. And
so you know, Mohammed bin Abdullah, rather early was Harvey
heels were dealing with Minister that we had the legal standard
resulting in and we deal with that.
So hamdulillah
we're reading from the
set of discourses of Sedna shares,
what he did after color kanji learning, of your law and law.
And as we are making our way, through these modalities, to his
discourses that share himself presided over Psalm
800.
So here's a little bit less than 800 years ago, 780. So that's
seven years ago.
In sha Allah, we're getting some of the
the feel and the
what we would call a standoff, you know, trying to put ourselves in,
you know, as if we are in the audience or this as if he is
speaking to us right now. And
he may not have realized at the time, but I think he did, that his
words would resonate later on, there are people centuries later,
still.
Still looking at them and thinking about them and benefiting from
them. And as we've said before, this is one of the ways the legacy
of the person continues to live. And Sharla enters into the new
center has
the scale of good deeds, if they leave behind knowledge that people
benefit from, or they behave leave behind.
Things that they have built institutions or resources, or top
down endowments, things that continue to provide a benefit to
people. And so some of you involve the endowment cinema, some world
number in centuries, it's my understanding that the wealth that
are energetic, in roomy and cornea established, also, some 800 years
ago, still exists today, people are still benefiting from it. And
obviously, here in Cairo, the walk and also even though The walk
itself, may not be as operational as it was before. But
nevertheless, the way that the masjid and the metal mask in the
school was established, was by walk was by endowment. And as you
can see all of the people who continue to benefit from that. And
so when we think about our own selves, and our own plates, and
what we want to leave behind, at least we can think about what
happened to our children, what happened to our neighbors, what
have we taught our siblings? What, if anything,
did we leave or continue to leave from them so that we, too will
have some have some allotment of this set of Algeria, this
continuous source of charity
insha, Allah. So this, this course, which is the 31st, which
puts us right at the halfway point, how to do less of can we
have completed half of it by the end of this session, basically
learn, as we said before, our intention is to continue until we
finish it, and that will take us likely through most of Ramadan,
isn't it either.
So the theme of this session was another book, or anger,
that which is considered to be praiseworthy, and not which is
considered to be blameworthy. And as you might surmise, based upon
what we've seen so far, from the shame,
the main criteria, whether it's anger, whether it's love, whether
it is even generosity, name, anything that's a, you know, a
matter of the heart, the main criteria for whether it's going to
be praiseworthy, or blameworthy or whether another way to say it,
it's going to be a source of blessings for you, or a fit now at
that, or source of trial and tribulation for you, is the state
of your heart
while you are doing it, before you are doing it, and what motivates
you and drives you to do it. So if it's by work, when the force of
the law as you would say, Baba, if it's by your own Caprice, and it's
by
motivation that is sourced in the lower passionate appetite.
If so, then it's going to be a fifth, then your anger will be for
yourself. And it will be more about vengeance into harm, and
more about feeling vindicated and getting what you think is your
right, your heart and so forth. Versus if
the motivation that which drives you to do it and while you're
doing it,
and keeps you within the confines of the teachings of the Shediac
the teachings of the Prophet promise or send them, then we
would say it's saying now, it's a blessing, that you feel it upon
yourself when you see something of Allah as limits being
transgressed. That you feel disturbed by it and you feel that
if there's something in your power something that you have the
ability to do about it, then you want to do something about it. So
we'll see that with a little bit more detail as we read what he
says. So he says another lawn

authentic.
So let's just look at that part first.
And you might say what if we have the English while reading the
Arabic?
I think they're on like a general scale. And there's a baka there's
a blessing in reading the words that they recorded that he said in
the original language. And also kind of something that goes back
to the fear I attempt to have more of an engagement with the words if
I see them in original Arabic them in translation. So if it seems the
voice, I apologize for that. But I think Sharla will be some benefit,
especially for comparing the two when you want to think about
improving the language, it's good to see both next to each other.
So he says,
After some discussion on page 201, for those who are following in the
translation, anger or vada is praiseworthy when it is for the
sake of Allah subhanaw taala, but blameworthy when it is for the
sake of any other.
The believer becomes enraged for the sake of Allah, not for his own
sake, he becomes enraged in support of his religion, not in
support of himself. He gets angry when there is a violation of any
of the rules the Hindus are, I would say limits of Allah subhanaw
taala just as the tiger gets angry when they take away his prey, so
Allah subhanaw taala will surely defend his anger and approve his
satisfaction. Do not pretend that your anger is for the sake of
Allah. When is actually for your own sake. For then you will be a
hypocrite and everything like that, because what belongs to
Allah is complete, lasting and super abundant, whereas that which
belongs to any other is changeable and impermanent. Whenever you do
something Therefore, you must keep your lower self, your neffs your
passions your house
A, and your devil shall find out of it. And do it only for the sake
of Allah subhanaw taala. And to carry out His commandment, you
must do nothing without receiving an unambiguous command from a lost
battle to either either indirectly via the sacred law shock, or
through inspiration in ham, from Allah to your heart, always in
harmony with the chakra to begin with the sacred law. So let's just
look at that part in the beginning here. So we have two forms,
extensively here and one of the law or rather divided, so to be
angry, for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala. And to be angry
for anything besides Allah subhanaw taala. And generally,
when you're going to be angry for anything besides almost one
without it's going to be, as I said, for yourself,
what they call an intersol, the neffs. And we looked at a hadith
of Satan, Asha, below the line and she described prophets I send them
and she said about him, Can ally and possibly NFC,
right, can rely on tasaki NFC, he would not seek retribution or
atsr. Or for his own personal right, where they can either in
Topeka can apply, or do the law of shape minhag with the law, if I
can allow you a formula of other shades of color, but if something
of the limits of Allah subhanaw taala were to be transgressed or
to be violated, then nothing could stop him from literally means
nothing could stop him, or quell his anger.
But
when we say, anger for Allah, and anger for anything other than
Allah, when you're angry for your own self, it's going to be
colored by emotion.
You know, when say, someone he's got red with anger, literally,
people can get red. And to the degree, you can get so angry that
you almost lose control of yourself. And, you know,
unfortunately, many of us, we recall, that happens to us rather
frequently or infrequently, but we know what that feels like. And
certainly, we've probably seen in others when the when control is
lost. So anger has the ability to do that. So someone who's going to
be angry for the sake of the Shediac sacred for the second loss
penalty, will never lose control. So even if the thing that you
became angry for is something of Intertek and hold on that
something of a violation of the sanctity of the limits of God.
And it makes you angry, that anger still needs to be channeled, and
still needs to be regulated by the limits of the Sharia, so that we
won't go, you know, beyond bounds. So
you know, let's say someone, you drive to the masjid and
somebody took the Imams parking spot, right, and, you know, the
Imam actually uses a cane or perhaps a wheelchair, so he has it
right in the front. And you see this person very nonchalantly,
just, you know, it says, mmm, parking spot. Nevertheless, they
drive into it, and park there, and you see them get out. And,
you know, you kind of noticed that they're wearing maybe,
you know, Lady Gaga t shirt or something like that, you know, so
you're holding them in a little bit less esteem, than you would
think of the, you know, the, the mosque goer that you have, in your
estimation. And so you say to yourself, stop realizing they took
that as part of the Imam and now that member is going to be parking
in the end of the parking lot. And, you know, he asked to get
out. And, you know, so when I said walk him in with his cane, and his
leg hurts, and he's the leader of the park to begin with, he's going
to be late. And so all of these things, emotions, like, you know,
stuck inside of you. And you say, I'm really angry. Alright, and you
see, but this is righteous anger. Because, you know, this is about
the Imam and about the Salah. So author drama, the Friday prayer
being run on time, and you know, didn't see the sign. And so, you
know, you run over there, and you might really get into this
person's face. And I'm fueling your anger at the same time you
see the hate, right? You see what they look like. And so, you're in
your estimation, or Lady Gaga t shirt, skinny jeans.
Okay, now I'm even more angry because, you know, this person
doesn't even look like he belongs here to begin with, again, the way
that you're thinking about, and so your anger is further fueled, and
you may actually lose control at this point. Because you feel you
are justified in in what you deem to be your righteous anger.
And perhaps that person.
They're even Muslim, and they don't know what he meant means.
And they went inside and they're asking about Islam, right? And
they said, Oh, this is a mosque because here's a good place to ask
about it. And you just ran and you know,
have shouted in their face and scare them off and offended them.
And perhaps maybe they'll never think about Islam again. So was
that that character? Was that reaction? The characterization?
Really for Allah subhanaw taala, even though you characterize that
and you justified it inside for yourself that way? Or is it really
more about you? Because your neffs can trick you like that you can
say, no, no, this is for a lot. Because it's not going to tell you
this is for for God's I can tell you this for a lot. It's not gonna
tell you this for yourself, because it knows you might reject
that. But if you say, right, and it puts it in a way to you, like
no truly has a lot of Lila, then you will feel propelled to act
upon it. But even when you act upon it, it should not be fueled
and motivated by
pure emotion, such as that you go outside of the confines of the
Shinya, even the Sahaba said, we didn't know that the Prophet would
be displeased with something, I agree with something except they
said there was like a vein, between his eyes here at the top
of the of the nose, that would become a little apparent. But
other than that, you didn't have straw, right? He didn't shout or
yell, or flail his arms, and you know, his eyes, light up with
anger and all that sort of thing that we associate with anger. So
when we say a lot of Zillah, we means that you,
it stood inside of you, is you feel a little bit of an affront at
Oh, wait, that's not right, I need to do something about that. And
you doing something about that also has rules, it doesn't just
mean that you do whatever. It also has
what we call an American model for Nana monka. And joining the good
and forbidding the wrong, and there's a set of criteria for that
as well. And amongst those criteria is that your engagement
with the situation your involvement with it will not make
it worse, even if you have the best of intentions. So if you have
the best of intentions, but your engagement with it, and the way
that you're involved with it will make it worse, then you should not
get involved with it. It's better not to do anything about it. And
the folklore, the scholars, they had a principle that they apply to
judges, but then they also generalize for all sorts of
situations. So they say lay up the body, well, how about when they
have the authority or cloudy, the judge should not issue judicial
jurisdiction IIDX
in court, when they are angry,
because if he or she were to do so they may do so based upon an
emotional component that that's driving them to do that. Whereas
if they are in a state of non anger, let's say and they're just
looking, you know in neutrality and impartiality at the dealer at
the Vienna at the evidence, the testimonial so forth and can look
at it impartially, then they can issue an edict based on that. So
they they extrapolate from that, that, really you shouldn't take
anything that is going to involve human interaction, where you can
adversely affect another one you are in a state of anger. So they
said Les Douglas and Miguel Rasul,
Allah, your animal Mwalimu. However, plan, so the teacher also
shouldn't teach, if they're angry, and the middle school teacher
shouldn't teach if they're angry. That's not an excuse for to call
out sick field school teacher because your son or daughter
spilled the Cheerios on the kitchen floor in the morning make
you angry, but it's a it's like a guidelines, you know, keep in
mind, you know, even have a impartial view of English people.
So if you're already agitated about something, then it's more
likely, then you might do something adverse to someone who's
maybe not deserving of it. Maybe they too, are irritating to begin
with. But since you're in a heightened state, you're an
agitated state, then that only fuels what's already going on with
you. That's why the shift makes so much emphasis and importance.
Leave your hair and your crease and your personal inclinations,
you know, leave that at home, or better yet, leave it altogether,
you know, when he talks about half an app, you know, be extinct or
dead to your own personal inclinations. Other words, not
that you're not going to have any, but don't let those fuel the way
that you deal with people and the way that you engage with people.
So that would also include the parents. You shouldn't dole out
discipline to your child if it's being fueled by just pure anger.
So you may be upset at the sort of the thing that they did or they
didn't do, but you shouldn't think about how to discipline them if
you're going to discipline them right in the heat of the moment
because the heat of the moment content can produce adverse
effects
And obviously, that's also easier said than done. If you get an
irritating email from somebody, right, and you want to respond
right away, wait a minute, you know, wait a few minutes, wait
even half an hour, you don't have to answer back right away. You
know, put yourself where you're in a state where you're not being
fueled by your angry by your anger, and even to try to be in a
state of war. zyk write a state of
remembrance of God.
I guarantee you, the way you're going to deal with the world or
you can do with people will be vastly different.
Someone who's in a state of love with the last one with data will
be much more tolerant compassion and understanding climate
forgiving. So if you're not in any of those moods at all, when
someone transgresses the hadith of Allah, what you think to be the
limits of God or even transgressions against you, then
withhold action.
Don't do anything until you become in a in a better state. So
that's what he's saying here said when ever you do something,
therefore you must keep your lower self, your passions, your devil
out of it. Don't let that be the driver. And as we said,
even the the earlier in the highest of mental math and in the
spiritual stations, doesn't mean they don't have their shutdowns
still bothers them or they're enough still will whisper to them
or they're wet their passions might flare up here and there. But
the difference between them and us is that they have learned to
identify when those things are talking to them. They have learned
to identify when their nervous is propelling them for something I
wonder shaitan was whispering to Netflix have actual conversations
happening between some of the
ODF some of the
lecture time there's a popular story about remember Junaid Al
Baghdadi was referred to as say the thought if a kind of the
progenitors of the science of the soul.
And he was making Google doing the ablution And
shaitan whispers to him, I don't think you you watch your right arm
or you watch the right arm three times you forgot to do that. And
he recognized that this was was was right. This was a whispering
of the Shavon. He said yeah, in our cursor one I indeed like my
arm, and I'm not listening to you. So the sentiment came but he
recognized where it was coming from so he ignored it. And that's
generally how you do with what Sal was deal with was ours, which
would be you know, obsessive compulsive sort of misgivings and
things about that usually are oftentimes that happens in Doha in
cases of ritual evolution. So even the
forehead, they say, ignore it. If you're not sure, but this happens
frequently to ignore the worst was if you're in the prayer, not sure
if he did two or three units rock as if this rarely happens to you
then typically on a club, then you assume you did the lower number
and you might bring in external rock or unit. But if you are Musa,
you have WhatsApp, frequently, like once a day, which is the
definition of frequently, then you are to ignore completely and
assume you did the higher number. So if it's two or three, assume
that you did three. And this is how one deals with extraneous
thoughts whether it comes from shaitan or it comes from the left.
So it's about learning to identify them. That's why the popular adage
which is also Hadith, I believe more foreign than the resource and
a lot of fun so out of out of that. Whoever knows themselves
knows their Lord, because if you can, if you can identify what are
the Neff Sani impulses, what are the shaytani impulses, then you
can also know what are the Rabbani and the Veliky impulses the
angelic impulses and the divine ones
or
so, then he goes on to say
abstain from you need definitely enough sec. Right. So don't put
yourself into it, almost like you're
an impartial third party watching as things are unfolding, abstain
from you from creatures and from this world that he may give you
relief from creation, wish for intimate friendship or wounds with
a load of truth of how as origin and comfort in His nearness. There
is no intimate friendship except intimate friendship with him
capital H and there is no comfort except with him. After getting
clear of the confusions of your lower self, your passions and your
own existence. Your resume should be together with the people of the
Lord and in that so that you may be upheld by their support.
perceive through
their insight and be regarded with pride as they are regarded with
pride, the king, oh, and Malik, will glory in you among the rest
of the nomadic the slaves, purify your heart of all apart from Him,
for them through him, you will see the totality of that which is
apart from Him, you will see him and then through him, you will see
his workings in his creation. Just as you're not allowed to enter the
presence of kings with your outer being your volume and state of
uncleanness. You may not enter the presence of the King of Kings
medical book, Allah subhanaw taala, with your inner being your
Balton in a state of uncleanness. You are a jar full of drugs, what
am I to do with you. So encouraging words from the chef,
as we know sometimes is is never a stone has to be that way with
certain
numbers of students. So as we see the the the common denominator,
the common theme throughout all of this, is if we're already on a
program of spiritual discipline, or spiritual purification, call it
what you will. And then when we encounter these
instances in our life, certainly we're going to be challenged in
terms of
being provoked, and to be made angry.
Anger, however, if it is provoked in two degree weather nefs is the
one that is the most likely All right, it's the one that is the
more Havilah it's the one that's pushing you and motivating you and
taking over, then certainly it's blameworthy. Be even, even if that
tries to convince you that it's for Allah spiral down. So yes,
someone is being physically violated in front of you. It you
need anger in that situation, because that anger will Summon
your courage, because you may risk your own life. All right, or you
miss me I was getting hurt for you to intervene in that particular
situation. Or, you know, otherwise, if you don't have that,
you know, that that requisite amount of anger that will trigger
courage and courage is praiseworthy, then you're not
going to get involved that situation, then you're going to
fall back on something else called cowardice. Right, then you'll be a
Japan you'll be a coward, not wanting to get involved in that.
That's what a meme shuffling meant when he said, Men are sort of
devoid of look for
whoever is given
proper reason to become angry, and does not do so that is an imbecile
or he's you know, he's a coward. He's a person that
something else is going on. So we're in terms of a lot in terms
of our character.
Some of the automat like because he already based upon the
Aristotelian kind of model, that
good character is a balance between two extremes. So for
example, anger is a balance between cowardice on the one hand,
and
recklessness on the other. So in the middle, then you have courage,
which is the right thing. So recklessness would be to throw
oneself in a particular situation without even actually thinking
about the consequences, the ramifications, if,
you know, they'll be able to actually change something about
it, if it's the right thing to do. What is the Sharia say about it?
Is this thing actually, how long did you want to stop? Or is it
just by age, man, by, by consensus of all of the scholars or only
particular scholars considered to be wrong, and so forth.
So like a case in point, that's, that's contemporary.
Many Muslims became angry when government started issuing
guidelines about
social distancing. So both in the United States and Canada and
United Kingdom, and also in many countries of the Muslim world,
including here in Egypt and Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia,
Malaysia, India, so forth. There have been guidelines concerning
social distancing. And in some of those places, not as a general
rule, but in some instances, people have been defined that
especially when it comes to attending the mosque, attending
the masjid, and insisting that they should be allowed to attend
the masjid and that this is the right of God and this is their
right and we don't need to social distance because if we're praying
in the masjid, Allah will protect us and so forth. And, you know,
they treat this situation with some sort of indignation. And how
could you How dare you to tell us that we can attend the mosque, and
then they say things like, well the mosque is
from the Dean, and hence the Dean olam and Harrison neffs. So they
To quote something from the words of the scholars, namely that the
preservation of the religion of the deen takes a higher priority
than the preservation of life. And all of this sort of what they
consider to be righteous anger, and all of it.
All of it is for not all of it is wrong, that whole line of
reasoning that whole
to solve the whole conceptualization of the situation
is wrong. Why is it wrong?
One, there is no 200 there is no contradiction between that which
is there to preserve our lives. And that which is to preserve our
dean, the dean is not under threat. If we don't pray Jamaat in
the masjid the dean is not under threat. If we don't pray total
Ramadan prayers in domestic
the dean is not under threat. If we have to do some social
distancing for a month or two or three or four, whatever it may
take, in order to preserve life. Rather, that particular
understanding of the deen is what will threaten the Do Not the
social distancing and not attending domestic. So not
attending the Masjid. We are preserving lives. What it means by
preserving the dean and the dean having higher priority, if the
actual
understanding the methodology Taleem what they call his bite on
the ask, the foundation of the dean would be under threat. So if
people are, you know, if an enemy is coming to say that we're going
to wipe out this Muslim community or this Muslim country and they
come in with whatever weaponry that they have, and so forth, then
it would be incumbent upon us to defend ourselves and not just
sweeten our houses and we did to be taken over.
Because the deen itself is under threat, our way of life is under
threat. Will some of us lose our lives? Or many of us? Likely? Or
possibly, definitely. But in this situation, that's what's called
for because the Dean Fallon is under threat. But in what this,
this, this conceptualization or other people have the soul that
somehow the dean is under threat? And that's why I'm angry? No, it's
actually perhaps more it's necessity, that people don't like
to be restricted in their movement, restricted in their
choices, or certain what they choose to do or what not to do.
And that's a enough's anything. Right? And especially when it
comes from a
place where you already have suspicions about it, so many
people are suspicious of their governments and suspicious of
this whole COVID-19. And where did it come in? Did it come out of a
lab? And is it being spread on purpose? And is it about 5g
network telephones? Or is it really a virus and all of the, you
know, the conspiracy theories that are
kind of being promoted and talked about? And I don't, I'm not really
interested in whether they're true or not true, if there's credence
or not. But the the main idea is, certainly there's enough of an
evidence and abundance of it that if our authorities tell us that
this is the right course of action, and it's backed up by a
reasonable
sense of, you know, evidentiary claims, you know, from from
doctors and medical professionals, and that's kind of gist of it,
then, then we have no reason not to follow that we have no reason
to, to oppose that. If it's going to preserve our lives and save
lives, and, and Sharla put us in a place where eventually we can, we
can come back to that. So it's a very slippery slope, as they say
about being truly angry for a loss of data or not. And I would say,
the vast majority of us get it wrong. The vast majority of us I
think, myself included, we get it wrong, we get angry for many
things, and we try to somehow picture it as being a fraud law
and probably the worst offense sometimes of this is if someone is
in a position, like an imam or a chef or
sees themselves as a representative of Islam somehow.
And then they see personal slights on themselves as not personal
slights but somehow as a slight against Islam. To me, that is one
of the worst
violations of misplacing, misconstruing and lovely when it's
actually voluntariness. So saying that it's been over for long it's
actually time to read about you. You are not Islam, right. So if
someone says something bad about you,
because you're wearing an Amen, are you wearing hijab? It's not
necessarily attack against this then maybe they have a problem
with you maybe with some sort of subtle that you had some sort of
action you did. And then when they saw oh wait, they're wearing
Muslim clothing. Then this added fuel to the fire while they're
already upset about something. Just like the example of the
parking lot parking space and, you know, the men parking space
And then you saw the guys wearing Lady Gaga t shirt and skinny
jeans. And so you thought, you know, that added fuel to your
particular fire. I when people are
in a compromised position, you know, today we talk about
immunocompromised, people's immunity is compromised, your
spiritual immunity can be compromised too. And what that
means is, when you put in a position of duress situation where
there's the rest, and you're likely to become agitated and
angry,
then the worst of you will come up, unfortunately. And it may not
be who you really are, but the worst aspects of you may come out.
So perhaps you will say things in racial overtones, perhaps you will
pick on somebody's handicap, perhaps you will, you know, have
ethnic or belittle them because you think they're not as pious as
you are. And then these words might actually come out of your
mouth. Does that mean that sort of person you are and you're really
that bad? I hope not.
But it does show that your spiritual immunity is compromised.
So imagine for someone who's not a believer
who's afraid, who's watching either Fox News, or CNN or MSNBC,
or NBC, or
you have people in England, right ITV to, or BBC News, 24 hours a
day, and this is, this is what they're seeing. And, you know,
they're being kind of in an agitated state already. And then
they go to Target or they go to Tesco, or they go to Carrefour and
someone seems like they're kind of in line, and they look sort of
Muslim or they look sort of Hindu or they look sort of Buddhist. And
then when the interaction notification begins, that's the
first thing that they pick on. But really, what kind of bothered them
is like why this person coming in? But then this adds fuel to the
fire. So we want to build up our spiritual immunity. Why don't we
people have floor
it's not to be a person of divine presence in your home only or in
the corner in the masjid. What type of Deen would that be if
that's the only place we can find it? You should find it in
Carrefour and you should find it in Tesco and you should find it in
Sainsbury's and should find it in
ShopRite and Costco opening this anybody? Ludo hypermart are Dube
friends, so you should find it in in all those different places
you're still you're still that person and you know that's the
real test of your you know of your spirituality and of your faith and
of your love for our last panel data and to be gentle and and his
kindness we can with Allah's creatures, and if we get it wrong
if we make a mistake and correct the mistake.
I don't know how many times I've made mistakes and I've tried to
correct them. So
yes, it's wrong to make a mistake, but also when you do so, to try to
you know, swallow your pride a little bit and if you you know go
back to that person Lady Gaga t shirt and the skinny jeans you
know what I made mistake you were wrong I was right. Doesn't matter
I'm just like this and you're just like that. But I thought I made
the mistake and I owe you an apology and I hope you'll give us
another chance and that sort of thing. So
I just
regarding that point there's just one more thing I want to read that
I think is important too from this excerpt
so from
let's look at from page two or three
so at the beginning of top of page he's kind of talking about learn
under state he said his oneness, they affirm on on him they depend
for the do not associate partners with him and this is and this they
denounce their affirmation of unity, so heat is in their hearts.
While they're affability toward creatures is in their outer
beings. This is the point affability towards the hunt.
Right, not harshness, because they don't see the heat. But they don't
see the manifestation of no heat or Dean and these people are these
creatures. No, that's for you and your heart. But these are
manifestations of towhee. They are creatures of God. Don't look at
just the exterior, what you think they are and what they're
practicing. This was Satan's mistake. You looked at Adam and he
saw a piece of clay. And he said to God, why should I prostrate
before that he's a piece of clay and I'm from fire. So let's not
make that same mistake. So while they're affability toward
creatures is in their outer beans, when they are treated foolishly,
you do not respond in kind. Allah Swatara has said concerning them
with a health of OJ unicon Lucerna and when the ignorant addressed
them, they say, Peace, you must keep silent and be tolerant of the
foolishness of the ignorant of their excitability of their
natural urges their tip Ah,
right, they're not reading a * of a baby like you and they're not
praying five times a day and manifesting love perhaps. So why
do you have these expectations from them that somehow they're
going to treat you in the best manner possible and they've been
quarantined and locked down for a month or two when they're not sure
if they're gonna live or they're gonna die if they're ever gonna
get their job back. All these things are swirling through their
head as they're swirling through our so let's give them the benefit
of the doubt.
So keep silent, tolerant of the excitability of the natural urges
though to bother lower selves or in the fruits of their passions
their way.
But when they are guilty of disobeying an order of truth,
there can be no keeping silence because it is then Allah for a
while he's talking about Muslims speaking out becomes a religious
duty and to refrain from doing so as a sin. Then see the next line
when you are capable of commanding what is right and proper other
models and forbidding what is wrong and improper and now he
I didn't look up you must not stop short of it because it is the door
of goodness that has been opened up in front of you. So go straight
in.
So when you are capable of doing it and when you are aware of the
rules about it, and when you have a reasonable
estimation of success based upon your reading of the situation. And
as he said earlier, the Sharia allows it or you have in hand from
your in your heart you have an inspiration from Allah subhanaw
taala this is the right thing to do, then are all those things line
up and you feel that that's where you're at then then inshallah
you'll be more alien, or you'll have to eat as he said, like your
predecessors like the earlier like an MBA, like I've dealt all of
these people before you certainly do and I'm telling him right let's
see a lot of the Latina let's see a lot of the people the
straightway of the people whom Allah has blessed and bestowed His
blessings upon along with the other Ireland, Ireland and come to
the hilt.
