00:03:03 --> 00:03:28
			one of the important character traits, qualities of the believers that they keep their promise that
they fulfill the pledges. They maintain their covenant. They are trustworthy. They don't betray.
They don't break promises. And they don't deceive.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:33
			And they don't stab people on the back.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:04:03
			One of the important quality of the believers Allah subhanaw taala when he mentioned the quality of
the believers, when he said the earth let me noon, success indeed are the believers. But who are
they? Later on Allah Subhana Allah said when levena homely Amma naughty him was the Marwin though
the believers are also those who are true to their trust and covenants.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:05:00
			Because they understand well oh for Bill, I had the in the can and Masuda. Honor your pledges for
you will surely be accountable for them. Can it be Allah Who Anna used to always remember? Sometime
one time she made that statement? She said, I made the pledge, I made that promise to Allah subhanaw
taala said, I did not fulfill it. And she will teach the deed did not fulfill it because an excuse a
valid reason prevented you from doing that. But she said but what I do with what Allah said in the
Quran, in the kana Missoula that means in the Day of Judgment, I will not pass. I will not move on.
I will not advance the agenda. Until Allah subhanaw taala stopped me and asked me
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			About this
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:13
			just think about the some how tense it is when you stand before a judge to ask you if I tell you
today we're going to come and audit you,
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:22
			the IRS coming with their lawyers to audit you, no matter how good you are how good you know can you
record your you will be worrying.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:29
			Who wants that? who volunteered me would love to be questioned and put under the microscope.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			It's terrifying it's scary.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			And that's what scared her.
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:42
			Well, I will phobia I didn't learn either had to what
		
00:05:43 --> 00:06:11
			Obul Amen. That will key the walk or the journey to Mala ecom caffeine in Allah, Allah MUMA to find
goon honor Allah's covenant, when you make a pledge, especially when you say, well, like, and you
make that emphasis. I will do that while like I promised to do this.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:44
			It's that's one of these character traits. Unfortunately, today, it's vanishing. It's became a norm
that people make a promises that they don't keep starting from politicians, to businesses, and it
became more and more common, unfortunately, cut corners. And it's not a big deal. Even inside the
field of hair and Dhawan organizations and, and everyone every aspects between families.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:07:17
			You know, not keeping up the promise that you made with ALLAH SubhanA, WA Tada and going down to the
closest people, to you, your family, to your people, to your community, to yourself and for and
that's one of the worst promise that you can break the promise that you made with your own self. You
know why? Because when you break a promise with someone, that person will look down upon you. That's
right. When you break a promise with someone, that person will always have a negative view for you.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:35
			You know, what's the worst thing to have? When you have a very negative view of your own self? When
you have no self respect for yourself? Because he know that you broke that promise? You know, and
you can is nothing to be you break it because he can't know just because he didn't care.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:08:14
			And be I didn't him sit on profits and messenger or praise by being those who kept their promise.
Well, Ibrahim Alayhi Wafaa Ibrahim, the one who fulfilled his promise. Kind of an ibis, were fairly
law he will bow off he thought Atilla he was erratic color. Tada. Yeah, and he was afraid that he
fulfilled his promise to worship Allah subhanaw taala to deliver the message to stay his course.
Even though he suffered so much
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:38
			Salawa to Rob usrm, who Allahu Allah Nabina Muhammad, with chlorophyll Kitabi is now here. In who
can assign the L word? What kind of Rasulullah Nebia. When Allah mentioned a quality of a prophet
and messengers, they have so many good qualities, but when Allah mentioned specific qualities, is to
show you how important these qualities are,
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:52
			especially with public figures, especially when you present something. And I'm saying for us as
Muslims here, we're all ambassadors for our religion you like it or not, especially when you live as
minority.
		
00:08:53 --> 00:09:09
			You're a present. I know sometimes it's overwhelming. Sometimes you feel it does look heavy, but
that's what it does. Say unhemmed Allah Allah chose me to be among those who bury this
responsibility, and you like it or you don't you carry it.
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:13
			You're presenting the dean.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:27
			And mentioned in the book, a prophet, the story of his man. He was truly a man of his word. And he
was a messenger and profit from his Lord,
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:59
			a man to be united. He was Salatu was Saddam for Saudi. I mean, he's the trustworthy person
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and one of the most beautiful incident that didn't to be salatu salam,
when he left Mecca to migrate to Medina. You know that corporation the disbelievers kept all their
belongings and monies and golden and the thing the valuable things with him until that moment, so
newbies are seldom left and even avatar left behind to make sure to distribute it and to give it
back to
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:00
			The people
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:20
			not only that, you're gonna have a federal the Allah who won. In the Battle of badger I heard the
call of the process Allah and you might all know will remember that the battle better. The kuffaar
were trouble that mount of soldiers then the army of the Muslims.
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:33
			A handful people have horses while you have 10s And hundreds or 10s of people have horses and the
other side's setting up is a set of needs every sword every hand every man
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:39
			to the federal the Allah and said I was with EBI Hasid
		
00:10:41 --> 00:11:06
			and when I heard the call of better, an odd way to join the prophets of salaam I was captured by the
people of Quraysh. And they asked me you go into fight with Muhammad to support Muhammad. We said
no, no, no, we're going to Medina. We're not going to the process Allah's army. He said you promise
is it a promise you promise you're not gonna have got to fight to them said we promise just let us
go then they let them go.
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:16
			It was a trick for just want to get out and they originally want to join the process ALLAH. So he
came to the problems of the Rasul Allah What should we do?
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:22
			Then in Nabi SallAllahu sallam said, keep your promise and go back to Medina.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:29
			Since you made the promise you keep your promise. And you go back to Medina.
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:33
			When hirako, the Romans, Emperor,
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:40
			ask Abu Sufyan about the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, what did he ask him about the prophecy?
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:46
			He didn't ask him by the way about what miracles prophet had. And he might tell you
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:51
			about the miracles or did he do any miraculous things? No.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			He asked about character.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:58
			As he betrayed
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:08
			he said, No, Palaka, delicate, MBM. That's the character trait of prophets and messengers. They
never betray they never break promises.
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			They fulfill the promises
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:23
			meaning meaning it John sada una de la harneyz femin Whom tabon

			The Adze Allahu Sadiki and episodically him.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:15
			So yeah, Annie This is so Allah subhana wa Tada. Well, basically, those faithful people, Allah will
reward them for their faithfulness.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:19
			There is two types of pledges and promises that we make.
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:24
			One pledges and promises that you make with Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:27
			And these are the worst of break.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:34
			Severe, dangerous territory.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:40
			When you make a promise to Allah, then you break it.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:43
			Whoa, foobie Id

00:15:33 --> 00:16:17

promise you Allah I will fast three days if you heal so and so. Yeah, Allah if you give me this
amount of money, if you make this business go through your Allah, I will donate $100,000 these kind
of statements and nothing I'm promising me it is highly dislike because it may be so Salam said,
this is the way you take out of stingy people you should give if Allah made it happen or not, you
should donate doesn't matter. You get, you know, a million dollar or $50 You should fast doesn't
matter. Allah heals your second or not. So that's only a way for stingy people like it's the deal.
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:48
			Do this for me. I do that for you. That's why it's not recommended to do it. But if you do it you
must fulfill it. It's like exactly like when you say what Allah He I will do that. It's not
recommended to make an oath unto us Allah's Name named Helen Sambuca tell her but if you make an
oath by Allah's name, you must fulfill it. For Whom the * in Sambi effect? In other words, be
exactly I mean, and the other one that you do between you and people,
		
00:16:49 --> 00:17:25
			like the promises and business transactions and relationships and with the general public and so
forth. Yeah, you had a lady in Oh, four biller owed Oh, you believe fulfill your pledges fulfill
your promises. Okay, as the last point that I said in Surah, al Qaeda and Allah subhanaw taala said,
Allah the lady you know you funebre dilla wala includono mythique that they basically those who
honor Allah's covenant and never break the pledges and promises that today make
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:49
			in Nabi SallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam said, three clear sign of hypocrisy. One of it is if you either
had this accident when he speaks he lies we don't make a promise they break it with to mean a hun
when you trust them with something they betrayed you reportable Buhari?
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:55
			How can you keep your promises? Don't ever make a promise you cannot keep.
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			Don't ever make a promise you can keep.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:03
			Don't make too many promises. So you overwhelm yourself.
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:16
			Don't make these two bigger promises. They said always, you know. Yeah, and he always
overcompensate. But don't over promise.
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:33
			Three things you should never break. That's why you have always the intention. I will never break I
always say that he lie of teaching me three things you don't break in life. You break don't break
your promise. Don't trick break a trust and don't break somebody's heart.
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:50
			It's very hard to it's like a mirror when you break it you cannot bring it back. These three is so
hard to salvage. It's like a mirror you cannot put it together back very very hard to put it back
together and it will be as perfect as it used to be.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:59
			Also make sure that you're always in you make a promise. You have the intention to fulfill it. And
you ask Allah Subhana Allah to help you to fulfill it.
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:17
			But if you just keep making these promises and inside your heart you never really intend to fulfill
there's a problem friend of mine was once was shooting and he's a speaker's recording something for
the TV. So the cameraman every break in 15 minutes he goes on smokes.
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:34
			So should you be waiting to quit smoking? Drama Vaughn excellent opportunity. We are Maccha were
last third not the last 10 days of Ramadan. So like Shall I shall I promise y'all our hellos quit
just make the offer me
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:59
			he's excited he's committed than this. Yes, it okay data. He said I will face the camera from the
milk from the window. I raised my hand and said y'all lie out hammered. While I mentioned Allah's
names are beautiful names and attributes. And it really beg Allah subhanaw taala put this long
introduction. I was so moved by it. He was in tears and everybody's saying I mean in the room and I
asked him last time
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:10
			data for so many things for this man, health, wealth, children, family, you name it, everything that
I said, y'all make it all happen to him if he quit smoking.
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:21
			I don't know why he said that. But he said the guy was saying I mean, I mean when I said that, he
stopped and he's, like, looked at me like that.
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24
			He never said, I mean
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:27
			do you know why?
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:31
			Because he never really intended to quit smoking.
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:39
			It was just a cheap word. Yeah, sure. I'll promise you I'll do that. He never had that real
determination from inside.
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:46
			I will help you to keep your promises. Because Allah will help you to fulfill them.
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:58
			People with good intentions, make promises I believe sometimes. But you know what I learned people
with good character keep them up.
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:05
			Malasana to Allah make us among those who always keep their promises ahead of us and I told myself
that Allah was
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:18
			hamdulillah ha salatu salam ala Rasulillah who Allah and he was so happy women whatever but one of
the things that we have to always reflect upon is our promises to our family.
		
00:21:19 --> 00:22:02
			It's so hard for me when a see people have made promises upon marriage to their spouses to treat
them well to be honest, to be good to them and they don't fulfill these promises so hard for me to
see people have made the promise when they get into this relationship that they'll be good father a
good mother but they're not they're not fulfill the promise the rights upon their children's rights.
It's so hard for me when I hear her stories about people not giving them the dowry to their spouses
and you know, not fulfilling all the conditions and when they say together or when they separate
from each other. There is a promise there is a covenant been taking honey I mean come me second
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:02
			honey Abba.
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:16
			Honey, I mean come Mitaka it's a very very you know, taken from you affirm commitment towards each
other. By the words of Allah this man and this woman became Hannah to each other.
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:25
			I don't want to end my football this listen to what Allah says in surah October.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:39
			Amin whom mana had Allahu Allah in Tirana, Amin fogliano son de con no Alana Coonan Nami no song in

			gonna be my love Afula from law her mal Ondu will be my gun, the moon
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:32
			and there are some who had made a vow to Allah. If he gives us from His bounty, we will surely spend
in charity and be of the righteous, but when he gave them out of His Bounty, and generosity, the
Almighty Allah, they withhold and turned away.
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:50
			Allah says, so he caused hypocrisy to be blood into their hearts. He punished them by make hypocrisy
settled in their hearts until the day they meet Allah. Yara.
		
00:23:52 --> 00:24:04
			Those people what they made the promise, the promise, if Allah gives them wealth, that they will be
donors that they will give for the sake of Allah, the promise to do something good. Allah give them
the money.
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:13
			They promise do things that they will be righteous, and they will be given giver donors donate
support.
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:48
			But they break their promise with Allah subhanaw taala. And what was the punishment that Allah
subhanaw taala put hypocrisy in their hearts? That's a terrifying verse for any one of us. And I do
believe that was the reason the Sahaba was so scared of hypocrisy. When Monica said I met 30
companions witness the better a better all of them fear hypocrisy. You know why? Because he doesn't
know how can hypocrisy been installed in your heart because of a premise that you break up with
Allah as a form of punishment.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:59
			You promise Allah that will be the last time to do it. I'll never do that again. I'll never be there
again. I will not do this haram again. I will make sure that purify
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:22
			Why my money? I'll just I made so many promises and every time you break those people what they
broke the promise of giving the sadaqa giving for the sake of Allah. What about those who made
promise to stop the major sins, the volume the injustice, and every time Allah give them a chance to
correct themselves they don't
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:44
			and to freight, that Allah take that Eman away from your heart and replace it with hypocrisy will
continue and the secret hypocrisy the problem with hypocrisy you don't feel it. Hypocrites truly
believe they are good hypocrites said in the manner in the Muslim world good we don't get
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:50
			but they don't feel it. That's the dangerous of it.
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:54
			Had something make us
		
00:25:56 --> 00:26:03
			think so much about all these promises. We repent to Allah subhana sincerely. We try our best to
keep it up.
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:06
			May Allah subhanaw taala use Tamanna
