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
