			Rasulullah who funfairs fosun Halima and my bad always we begin with the praise of Allah we send our
prayers upon our never you Mohammed sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we testify that none is worthy of
worship, but Allah azza wa jal and that I will never be your son Allahu alayhi wa sallam he says
worshipping slave and final messenger. I remind myself in you of taqwa, Allah azza wa jal. And I
pray that Allah Subhana Allah to Allah makes us of those who love Him, who fear Him, and will have
hope in his mercy subhanho wa Taala This is the final hotbar that I get as an opportunity to speak
to you on this mimbar on a Friday before we are blessed in sha Allah, May Allah give us the life and
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:45
			energy to witness the aid of Alba, ha the aid of sacrifice and of nearness to Allah. And I wanted in
sha Allah just to speak about a person who Allah Subhana Allah to Allah destined to be a point
source for much of the good that remains in the world today. He is referred to as the father of
prophets.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:03:36
			For He is the great great great grandfather of our Nabhi Mohammed sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, but
it's also the great great grandfather of musala, salaam, Isa alayhis, salaam, and many of the other
prophets and messengers who trace themselves back to Abraham, or Ibrahim alayhis, salaam, Prophet
Ibrahim alayhis salaam, we will take just one lesson from his life that I hope you can take into
your home as you leave with us today and practice it from this day forward. The thing that defines
Prophet Ibrahim alayhis salam most is that Allah subhanho wa Taala refers to him as being halleen,
somebody who was easy going in his ability to forgive others. Now, I want you to think about that
		
00:03:36 --> 00:04:33
			for a second. What made Ibrahim alayhis salaam so important is not that he had many followers. If
you were if he lived in our time today, and you said you know how many people follow you on
Instagram or on social media? How many people see you as a celebrated figure, it would be very
little. And Allah tells us in the Quran, about him and other prophets were my alma mater, who in
love Colleen, very few people accepted newer, very few people accepted Ibrahim, just a handful of
his own family. But the story I want to tell you is the story of how Ibrahim alayhis salaam dealt
with those who opposed him with anger, with hatred, with wrath with malice, with punishment with
		
00:04:33 --> 00:05:00
			plots of even murder, and what his response was, and why it remains until today one of the greatest
lessons of the Quran it's the reason that when you and I pray so that now you're not going to make
mention of any other prophet with our nubby Mohammed Salim except Ibrahim as a part of your prayer,
any prayer
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:20
			You make by the command of Allah and the tradition of the prophets I seldom you must make mention
and ask Allah to bless Allahumma salli ala Muhammad wa ala Allah Mohammed Kama sunlite Allah Ibrahim
Abraham, you don't say cameras are lighter.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:42
			Cameras are lighter Allah Isa cameras are lighter Allah or Suleiman or Adam renewer it's only this
one man logically as a Muslim you believe in Mohammed so I sell them so he's elevating our than a
shadow Allah illa Allah wa eyeshadow under Muhammad Rasulullah. But where's Ibrahim? Where does he
fit in?
		
00:05:44 --> 00:06:16
			Allah says to our prophets, I said, when my yalova miletti Ibrahima in lemon sephia nafsa. No one
takes a path, a way of life, an understanding, a habit and a practice. No one lives life in a way
that contradicts the path of Ibrahim, except they are fools and fooling themselves. They may think
they're doing right but eventually they are doing wrong and it will lead them to destruction. What
is that path that we brought him?
		
00:06:18 --> 00:07:11
			It's called a hill him. Do you know there is no English equivalent for that word? Like for me to
translate the word hate him I need to write or speak a paragraph helmet means to forgive, but not
just to forgive someone. It means that you have the power not to forgive, and you have the right not
to forgive. And others around you will tell you how could you forgive Why would you forgive this
person? Why would you pardon them, but because he knew you see good for them, even though they
wished wrong for you. You are able to forgive? It's a very incredible trait to develop. halimun
aware he was a forgiving person because it reminded him to return himself to Allah. He always put
		
00:07:11 --> 00:08:04
			himself in other people's place. When Ibrahim was speaking about those who repose and who repelled
and pushed against him. He says, Oh Allah as is in the surah that is named after an unsorted Ibrahim
for many taba Annie for inhuman ni O Allah those who follow me then count them as if they are with
me. You right now 1000s of years later you were a follower of Ibrahim his your eye is for you. So
you say Allah Allah Allah Mohammed wireless cameras on light la Brahim, he's my prophet. Allah count
me with him. For many taba Annie, a Tabby, Anita in the humidity, the one who followed me counters
with me, women are funny, and the one who disobeyed me. You know the natural thing to say the one
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:33
			who who rejects me, the one who pushes against me the one who fights against me You would think the
natural thing would be Oh Allah destroy them. You would think the natural thing would be Oh Allah
show them that I'm the one they should have followed. Show them they were wrong. But look at the
drought of Ibrahim women are signing for in nikka furan Rahim, the one who disobeyed me Allah, you
Allah remain the Forgiving and the merciful.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:47
			Even though maybe I would not forgive Oh Allah, you are forgiving, even the one who wanted my
murder, you are forgiving you Allah, even my father who disobeyed you, you are forgiving you Allah.
And that's the example I want to give you.
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:52
			Ibrahim alayhis salam, his father as
		
00:08:54 --> 00:09:43
			was a wicked man. He was an idolatry of the highest degree, the one who was the chief priest of the
people of their land. They used to worship three particular deities, deities that they created with
their own hand in terms of sculpture, the deity of a shout out they used to worship the planet, the
stars, and they used to worship the concept of a fire or they used to be superstitious. So they
would look at the placement of the constellations and the stars and the movements of the planet. And
they would contain them as being indications of what's to come in life. And his father was gifted
that he would receive these whisperings from the tray Thawne that helped him confuse people about
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:46
			the trueness of his claim that he knew the future when he didn't.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:59
			One day as it's reported, that his father says to my son come, I want to teach you the family
business. I want to teach you how to make the idols so they go out into the into the mountains to
bring back
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			The rock that they're going to make the idol from.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:32
			And he says to his son, Ibrahim, this is the one pick this rock up. And there's two rocks that came
from the same mountain from the same place. Ibrahim as a young boy, he was smart. He says, evety, my
beloved father, why this one? Not this one? What makes this one more worthy of being God? And this
one isn't both of them are from the same bigger rock why this is not this. And his father became
furious.
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:44
			He could understand that his son was thinking in a way that was going to lead him from just simply
following what is being told what is being ordered of him.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:50
			And eventually, Ibrahim asked his father as in salt at Millennium
		
00:10:51 --> 00:11:04
			limiter Abu mala, yes. Now whether you will see whether you can cache My Father, why do you worship
What can't hear, can't see, and can't help itself for you in any way.
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:31
			Eventually, as father says, Let in Lambton tehila out of German. If you don't stop with rejecting
what we are on if you don't stop questioning, if you don't stop this behavior, I'm going to put you
to death. I will stone you to death. What do you mean Malaya and get out of my face? I never want to
see you again.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:50
			Ibrahim responds are less lm una la selfie ruleta says my father all I want was peace for you. And I
will leave as you requested. And I will continue to ask Allah to forgive you. And I want you to pay
attention to that sentence.
		
00:11:51 --> 00:12:15
			His father, eventually his people in the city. Eventually, they're going to build a massive fire and
they will put Ibrahim in it to try to burn him alive for disbelieving in what they believe. And as
Ibrahim is placed in it, Allah orders the fire as is found in the Quran.
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:38
			Now Rue Cooney barudan wa sallam and Allah Ibrahim Oh kindled fire be peaceful, cool and easy upon
Ibrahim. In fact, in the books of Sierra, it says that the ropes they tied in with with burn off
from the heat of the fire, while his skin and clothing had no harm.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:51
			And after the fire was put out, and then ended on its own, days later, Ibrahim exits from it
unharmed, and they still ask him to leave.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:13:06
			From that day forward, he continues to make dua for Allah to forgive that same father and community
for their disbelief in Allah and for their treatment of him. Halle moon aware
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:18
			that lesson from Ibrahim is the essential lesson that you and I carry with us when we perform Hajj.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:53
			them the purpose of you and I may Allah return is to hug you and allow you the honor of attending to
the house of Allah in worship. The purpose of it is that you go out to that place you shed your
clothes, you shed your attitude, you shed away this life, you put pause to your education, to your
family, to your work, you put pause to everything in the world, to recognize that it's you and a law
that matter and not what others have done.
		
00:13:54 --> 00:14:16
			That I'm accountable to Allah aware returning to Allah, which then makes you want to be forgiving to
others because you hope Allah will forgive you. After the break, I'm going to talk about three
lessons that I want you to use from this moment forward in sha Allah akula holy * that was still
federal law halali Mali.
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:54
			hamdu lillahi wa Salatu was Salam ala nabina Muhammad, Abdullah Ali Abdullah Saleh Timothy asleep
lesson number one, don't ever at any moment, at any time for any reason. Don't ever raise your voice
or speak in return in any negative way, not even a word but even as sound to the parents who brought
you into this world or your guardians who look after you.
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:59
			Allah subhanho wa Taala says we'll call darbuka Allah taboo in the year
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:45
			Your Lord has made it compulsory that you worship none but him. And second to this will while he
they may ask that you treat your parents with respect, and then unending pursuit of righteousness,
meaning you can never say I've done this. That's enough sand. It's not just his or her Santa. It's
Santa. It's an unending pursuit of doing better and better and better with your parents. As the days
and the time go by, in the end of that verse, where that level of don't even make the sound of tired
of this, don't even make a sound of disrespect.
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:52
			None of you will ever have a father as evil as Ibrahim had a father.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:16:33
			None of you will ever have a father who troubled him like Ibrahim had a parent who troubled him. And
yet his dua that Allah records in Nakuru and robbed him fairly while he while he died, you say it
after every slaughter with us in our prayers, oh, Allah forgive me and my parents, and so that you
might not be confused. It's not all my parents, meaning it could be my mother more than my father.
It brought him in his own tongue. He says, whoa, fill the EBI in now Who can I mean, a baleen. Oh
Allah in particular, my father the most evil of those who hurt him. He was one who was misguided.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:39
			Open your heart. When the shavon wants you to close it.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:45
			Maintain your respect, when the shaitaan wants you to lose it.
		
00:16:46 --> 00:17:00
			Keep your tongue quiet. When the shaitaan wants you to let it loose, restrict and manage your anger
when the shavon is breathing hate into your heart.
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:20
			second lesson, learn about the history and the life and the noble life of the prophets and
messengers of Allah. The more you go deeper into the story of Ibrahim which all of you know all of
you have read all of you have seen cartoons about.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:32
			The more you hear of it, the more you know of it, the higher you honor, a law because of what you
are taught through the whole ad.
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:34
			And third, and finally,
		
00:17:35 --> 00:18:20
			remember, it is division that separates people from each other and ultimately from Allah. That when
you have hate in your heart to another person, and are unwilling to forgive them Subhana Allah,
there's some people they will say, well, llahi I'll never forgive him. I'll never forget what he
said. I'll never forget what she did. She can ask me 100 times and apologize 1000 times, I'll never
forgive them. Allah Subhana Allah Allah says, Allah to hit buena Yellowfin Allah who is one of the
most powerful verses in the Quran, and I end with it is in salted nor somebody insulted the wife of
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:56
			and her father when he heard this, he said, that person said that about my daughter, but the wife of
rasulillah his whole life, I've been supporting him financially, that poor man who every month I
give charity to How dare he after all the kindness I've shown him after everything I've done for
that evil person, he speaks like this of me a lie. I swear my god I'll never give them another thing
again. So Allah reveals and when I tell you all on fogli minko was sad don't let any one of you who
has been blessed with good
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:04
			that they should restrict giving charity to those who have wronged them just because they wrong the
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:14
			FAFSA was for who forgive allowed to hit buena Yellowfin Allah who like him, don't you want Allah to
forgive you?
		
00:19:15 --> 00:20:00
			And always if you put a lot first, Allah who will put you first. If you raise the word of Allah,
Allah who will raise you, if you let go of the word of Allah, if you follow the sound of the
chiffon, if you make another things and other people more important than the word of Allah in your
life, if you disrespect yourself, your name, your culture, your family, your tradition, your Islam,
Allah will humiliate those who have not honored the Quran. May Allah Subhana Allah open our hearts
to learn from the life of the prophets and messengers of Allah. Allow us to follow the examples of
hidden and and fraud and mellifera towards others in seeking
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:22
