Subhana Allah to Allah and to be in gatherings where the we turn
our hearts towards him, and direct our hearts to Him, and supplicate
him and implore Him and beseech Him Subhana wa Tada for the good
of this world and in the next. And these gatherings are gatherings
that we should value very deeply. And that we should honor in our
hearts and to recognize that they have a sanctity. And everything
that has a sanctity requires a dive into the degree of the
sanctity is the to the degree of the addendum, and the etiquette
and the manners and the proprieties that one has to have
in those very sanctified places, and with sanctified people as
well. Alhamdulillah the sunnah of our Prophet Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam is comprehensive, and touches upon every single
aspect of the human affair. Comprehensive guidance for
everything that we need in every possible situation is found in
those blessing years that our Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam was
gifted by Allah subhanaw taala after having received prophethood
and that lifespan of his that blessed lifespan is the one that
our Lord Subhana wa Tada swore by in the Quran and Allah Tada only
swears by that which is great. And every single moment of the life of
our province solo lives and that is a lesson every single
interaction is a lesson. Everything that he said and what
he didn't say is a lesson everything that he did in didn't
do was a lesson is a lesson warmane a lesson until human piano
May Allah subhanaw taala open up our minds in our hearts to receive
the guidance of Rasulullah sallallahu ideologist Have you
sent him. And we should always remember that when it comes to the
Quran, you have the oral transmission and the written
transmission. And the oral transmission precedes the written
transmission.
And that meaning remains as well, what it is that we are learning.
And yes, you have formal learning institutions where you learn
specific disciplines like the Arabic language like fit, like al
Qaeda, and other sciences as well. And that has its place, and it's
of the utmost importance, and we must spend our lives learning.
However, we should never forget as well. If we never get the
opportunity to be in that type of space, we never give up either. It
doesn't mean that there's not an opportunity for us to learn. We're
supposed to learn from every moment of life. We're supposed to
learn from every situation that we find ourselves in. And this is why
the greatest of teachers, I ie those who nurture our souls, and
that remain by our side through thick and thin when we are doing
what is right and when we make mistakes are those who have an
ability to see the Adamic potential that lies in every
single one of us in help pull us in the right direction. And they
teach us that every time that we fall short, we dust ourselves off
and we keep moving forward. They teach us with the reality of their
state, the great sunnah of our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam before they teach us with their words. They teach us to
their MO aka the very stances that they take before they teach us
through books. And they of course, always also teach us with their
words and with their books. But the reason their teachings are so
impactful upon us is because they're living those realities.
And because they are connected to Rasul Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam
in a very, very real way, and that they have complete a Nyan eye.
They have a complete concern, and that from the messenger of allah
sallallahu Sallam for them that stems to us through them by virtue
of their connection. We remain connected from the bow
Don't you have Allah subhanho wa Tada and these are people, that
once you connect to them, they will be the most loyal of people
possible.
And the true meaning of loyalty will manifest Yom Okayama. The
true meaning of loyalty will manifest on Yama, Yama, who will
be there for us on Yom Okayama, who is more loyal to his people to
his ummah, to those that believe in him in strive with all of the
shortcomings to follow his blessingway Salah like they said
him then Rasulullah sallallahu idea the service and him no one is
more loyal than Rasul Allah. No one is more concerned for us and
for his people, and for his own Ma, then Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi salam, and this manifests in amazing ways as well, in his
great inheritors, and oh how we are in need, of the inheritors of
our Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, we live in a time where we
see right before our eyes, so many manifestations of the inversions
of reality, it gets very confusing. So many different
things that people are exposed to from so many different religious
people that confuses them, and people lose trust. And then
problem after problem that they'd see happening. They wonder what it
is that they can hold on to. But Alhamdulillah we still have this
deen and the true inheritors are still there. And the messenger of
Allah so Allah Allah is and is still there, even though he's in
the balsamic on a regular basis, our salaams are conveyed to him,
Salah ly Sam, just as all of our acts are conveyed to him, this is
not just something that has happened in the past. This is an
ongoing process, that the province southern Lysander has a special
concern from his Alma, even right now as he is in the budgets of
Salallahu Alaihe Salam, in other words, the meanings of His Word
subhanaw taala. Howdy, sunnah. Alikum. He is concerned for you.
Yes, there was a reality to that before you and I came into this
world. But there's a reality to be to that right now. Just as there
will be a reality to that when we dying we entered into the
balsamic. Just as there will be a reality to that Yama, Yama, when
we stand before our Lord Subhan Allah to Allah, just as there will
be a reality to that blessed verse where Allah Todd is telling us
something of the nature of our prophets, Allah Allah sent him,
there'll be a reality of that until eternity, evident bad that
the prophets I send them will still be concerned for us, even
after we enter into paradise. And
one of the blessed aspects of the sunnah of our Prophet sallallahu
Sana, which is one of these great traits of photo and we're going in
order in this blessed book. But the more you study about photo
about spiritual shivery, the more that you realize why Imam Abdul
Rahman astronomy, defined it as he did, where he said he essentially
it's the way of the prophets, because it is a way to refer to so
many different important traits that you and I aren't absolutely
enough. That speaks to us at the various stages of our life,
teaching us what it is that we need to know in order to do what
it is that we need to do at every stage of our life. And we will
fall short in this but we must know that this exists and that
this is from the sunnah of our Prophet sunnah licen him, just as
we must strive to put it into practice, no matter how many times
we fall short, because it be is the standard whereby which you and
I can measure our own actions and whether or not we've done what it
is that we should be doing. So he says this next great trait is what
woman alpha t. If the man other Fila bad unmotivated, it is from
fatawa, to bear hardship for the sake of a law after knowing him,
it is from fatawa to bear hardship. That literally is haram
is harm
for the sake of Allah after knowing him so the caveat here is
that as someone gets closer and closer to Allah, when someone
takes the spiritual path seriously, you know, that you're
going to experience harm in many different ways. It could be
tribulations that come on the hands of people, just as it could
be tribulations that don't come on the hands of people, you will
experience other, but specifically here, this type of ad that relates
to other harm that comes to us from people
and in the verses and sort of that as well.
up, where Allah subhanaw taala says that he sent our prophets on
Allah I sent him as a witness and as a giver of glad tidings and a
warner and a color to Allah through His position through his
permission, and a radiant lamp. And then how is the prophet
commanded to be with believers? Well, but she didn't want me need
give glad tidings to the believers, be endoluminal live
fallen in Kibera that they will have great bounty from Allah. But
then how does the prophets I send them how is he commanded to deal
with the caffeine and then whenever your teen the
disbelievers and the hypocrites, it's different, Wallah to jail
Cafe arena when we're not Filipina, what,
what Toka lalala? What Kapha Billahi Akela. This should
strengthen our Eman do not obey the disbelievers or the
hypocrites. What da da whom the same word here is use other words
that allow whom ignore the harm they cause you overlook their
annoyances. The trouble that comes your way visa vie those people the
hardship that you have to go through because of them Baret
neglect overlook it, that ignore it. This is what our Allah
commands our prophets on the licen. And it comes right after
those verses where Allah to Allah is telling that he's been sent,
again, as a witness, a giver of glad tidings, and a warner and a
caller to Allah. So if everybody in general as we experienced life
will experience difficulty that comes our way on the hands of
people, especially people that are trying to live for the sake of
Allah, especially people that are taking the path seriously,
especially people that want to do something for the sake of Allah
Tabata cortada. In this is not something that is easy, because
the word here is the man bearing hardship.
And one of the ways that you could understand this, and I remember
being on the back of a pickup truck, in Mauritania as a young
man, and this pickup truck, and had everybody's luggage in the
back, and then it had a net tied over it, so it was wrapped around
the bed. And then it had about 15 or 20 people on top,
like it a bed of a truck, about 15 or 20 people.
And it's like hold on for dear life.
Because they're not like driving slowly, like, oh, there's people
in the back there was women, there was children that Isla had
literally like 15 or 20 people and a few people in front and like, My
hands aren't as strong as the Mauritanian hands. So you're
holding on to this rope, and your hands are getting red, you're
starting to get blisters. They're racing through the desert, there's
no roads, they're racing through the desert, and you are holding on
for dear life, especially if you're near the edge. And yeah,
they'll probably come back and pick you up if you fall off. But
they'll expect you to get right back on. And you're not going to
hold up the whole group, because you have blisters. And it just
clicked for me in that moment. Oh, that's what the Hamline or HTML is
where it's like you're holding on. And you can't do anything but hold
on, but you got to keep going.
And even if you have blisters, even if your hands are raw, what's
the option to let go and fall off? You don't have any other option
except to hold on. Or imagine that another meaning of this I remember
traveling back and forth to the Muslim world independent about how
many kids we had at the time each child gets two suitcases right. So
finding when we had three I remember traveling with 10
suitcases 10 suitcase, each one gets a carry on two. So you try to
get as much stuff as you can when you go back to the Muslim world.
So you have 10 suitcases and five carry ons. And of course,
someone's got to carry the kids, they're young. And who's going to
carry all the luggage and imagine 10 things that you're trying to
push carts and then you have other roll on bags. When you're trying
to bring books one way and direction and another anyhow, and
you're just frustrated, you're hot, all of these things
happening. But you got to keep going.
That's the hammer.
Teaching ourselves in those moments, where still we have good
character.
We bear all of that we keep treading the path and we still
have good character
and we don't lash out. We don't lose our temper. We don't lose our
cool. We remain measured and we keep that doing what it is
is that we need to be doing. This is the way of her Sula. In one of
the beautiful stories it's mentioned in Bihar and Muslim
about this the Prophet sallallahu sallam was just standing there.
And this Arabi, this desert Arab comes and pulls his cloak to the
point where it makes his neck the blessing neck of a salon of scifi
that read.
And what does he say to him? Yeah, Mohammed just calls him by his
first name says Rasul Allah, Allah does even call him and when he
addresses them in the Quran by his first name. Allah calls him by
other names to honor him. Subtle Allah I doubt is obvious. And he
just says, Yeah, Mohamed, and what does he then say to him? More
Lehmann mallala holiday and deck. Give me from the wealth that Allah
gave you. So the prophesizing turns to him. And the heck he
smiles saw the licen thermo amatola habia Appa, and then he
told someone to give him something. That was how he
responded. And in battle, they're trying to get Rasul Allah to make
dua against them. They're fighting them in battle. Allah, who is the
Oni? Oh, Allah guide, my people. We've all heard that before. We've
all heard that before. But really think about that in battle.
They're trying to take your life. And the Prophet still says they're
his people. That what about the people that are living about
around us? What about our neighbors? What about those that
are living in the society in which we live? How should we be What is
the Prophetic character that we have to have, and I fall short and
this more than anyone, but we still have to remind ourselves,
and we still have to realize there's an objective criterion,
where we have to gauge our actions accordingly. And if we make a
mistake, we have to admit that we made a mistake. And if we have
muhabba, and tau Alder, and this is what came to my mind, if we
have muhabba. If we love Allah and His Messenger, and we're humble,
and one of the manifestations of humility, is that we can admit,
when we fall in short, and following the teachings of our
teachers, then we can roll up our sleeves to do something about it.
And this is why one of them said that in order to really follow
this way of ours, the great Imam Imam had to medicine and why was
he given the name Hatha, mettlesome, the one who's deaf, is
because there was one time where he went to that speak to someone
from the opposite gender, and a criminal Kamala accidentally, she,
there's no way to say this other than to say that as a story, she
passed gas, and she was so terribly embarrassed. He acted
like he was deaf. And she called his name out, he said, huh.
And she called it and he said, huh, and he acted like he was
deaf. until she finally called down and then every time he would
come, he acted like he was deaf. So he became to be known as
Hotmail. Some people actually thought he was deaf. Because he
was that concerned about the heart of that woman. But he's the one
who then said men or rather to the econo, whoever wants our path fell
you want to know so our RBT at one minute Mote let him get himself
used to dying in four ways. And then he gives them names he says
the Moto about the White Death, which is hunger, Moto Ahmad, the
Red Death, which is Mujahidin knifes, struggling against
yourself, while moto aka the green death, which is taught how to cop
out in about wearing shabby clothing such we have patches on
top of each other patches on top of patches, will mow to and then
mow to us wood and the black death which is demanded a dominant hug
teaching ourselves to bear difficulty that comes our way from
people. This is how these people before us were and I will close
with one blessing story of him I'm always caught into inspiring us
inspire us to at least try to be like them to the extent possible.
Away settle Cardone, he was so rejected in a society that young
people, boys would throw rocks at him.
And so
instead of him getting upset at them, what did he say? He says, if
you have to throw rocks at me, just throw small pebbles so that
my ankles and my feet don't become bloodied. And then I'm prevented
from praying. If you have to throw rocks at me just throw pebbles, so
that I don't get bloodied. And then it prevents me from praying.
This is the way these people were. And even if we can't be like them,
at least we should strive to be like them. And this generation
after generation, this is how these people want in fact, I'm
just
gonna mention one more story heavy aluminum Rachmaninoff boss. He was
that going through that an ally and someone throughout ashes from
the house, they throw out ashes and the ashes keep him a he's
going through the alley and the ashes fall on him. And he starts
to burn his cold and he that flicks the ashes off, he gets down
from his writing beast, and he performs the Sousou the sugar,
he performs the prostration of gratitude, la isla Han Allah, you
just had ashes someone should have, they should have looked
outside that. And then he said after that, that a body that
deserves to be thrown in the fire. And that this is all that I've
been given as a punishment. He says that I'll take that this body
he's this is what he witnessed himself. That's how you witnessed
himself. And so he saw that as a blessing. Because he's actually
felt that he deserved much more and this is heavier on women
number I'm gonna toss her when he mama had that visited him, he
said, describe him for me, he said, hub will rub that individual
his reality, a heart and the presence of Allah miss, almost as
if there is no humanity may Allah to Allah bless us to live these
realities, to believe in them know they exist to understand them and
strive to put them into practice where you and I have an ability
that despite the fact that we feet experienced difficulty on the
hands of other people, whether they are a spouse or whether they
are a family member or a neighbor or a community member, or someone
living with us in these lands, were in a very real way we have
the ability to bear that and to still swallow them up into that
pour out upon them, the very best of character resembling the
prophesy centum that in this way and resembling our teachers in
this way made lots of political data give us Tofig will sell a lot
