00:00:00 --> 00:00:05
			Who was doomed? Who could that person be as Mr. melas protect you all from this? I mean,
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			no one wants to be doomed, right?
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:47
			But even even sometimes people who say Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah is still considered believers,
right? But they can still we do have to do certain things. One of these things probably people don't
pay attention to very well, but it's so dangerous and associated nificant that extend the Prophet
Salah Salem even he negates almost the perfect faith of a person who falls into this kind of sin.
What is that? Let's see what the professor Simpson this hadith added. This is under the chapter of
hot cold jar the rights of the neighbors, Karla and Evie hora de la via sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
ah con, la la la,
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51
			la la la la, la la la.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:01:06
			In this Hadith, the Messenger of Allah Salam probably took people by surprise. He said by Allah is
not he's not a true believer by Allah is not a true believer by Allah is not a true believer.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			What would you guys expect after that?
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:29
			will be a big shock, right? While the professor said repeat that three times anyway? Why did you
repeat that three times. So he the emphasis, that's one way of looking at it. The other way of
looking at some grammar, they say when the professor said repeat something three times, he repeats
it in three directions.
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			Why is that?
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:41
			So he gives attention. He gives basic attention to each side of the gathering and the congregation
like if you speak solos like this, doesn't decide they might feel left out.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:02:13
			Or he repeats something repeated multiple times, like I showed you later on how to set kind of
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam the professor some he used to repeat the statement multiple times type
diagram and so people can understand from him. So when the Prophet used to speak, he is the 10th it
is the turn to the left is to turn to the people who are actually environment to make sure that
everybody understand the statement. So he says, Allah, Holloman violence Allah. He's not a true
believer, by Allah. He is not a true believer By Allah, He is not a true believer.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:20
			Now everybody understood or heard that statement, right? What is going on through their minds and
their hearts right now?
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			Losing?
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:43
			Whoa, they got scared right there. First of all, they thought the prophet SAW speaker about one
person in particular, right. And if the Prophet was speaking about one person in particular, and
they knew how the Prophet xlsm was inspired, that means Allah has thought about somebody, that he's
not a true believer, that means the person is considered what?
		
00:02:45 --> 00:03:14
			When I feel hypocrite, that person is doomed, right? And that that congregation of Medina had many,
many hypocrites. So people were so terrified, scared to be exposed, and publicly be called by name.
This person is not a believer. Therefore he is a hypocrite. That was a very scary statement for
them. So now when the Prophet says that he's not a true believer is not a true believer is not a
true believer. Everybody's just like, Whoa, Who could that be? And now suddenly, everybody's
thinking about who?
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:39
			by themselves. If someone like Rama rhodiola, on he suspected himself, right? Rama suspected himself
he went to LA because I asked about Allah. The professor Sam called me When did you call me
hypocrite that's on the line. So here everybody probably suspecting in that moment right now that
they're doomed. Oh, my God. This is. This is Carlo Monte rasulillah. Who is?
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:54
			Again, they expected the Prophet salaallah Salah to give one to one name in particular. But the
prophet SAW Selim, he wasn't speaking about one individual in particular, he was speaking about a
category. He said Allah de la mano Jara, who the
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:59
			one who's neighbor does not feel safe from his evil?
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			Who could that be Gemma?
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			And you guess?
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:11
			Who could that be? One whose neighbor cannot feel safe from his evil?
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:24
			That could be anybody. Right? Could be me. Could be you could be the one sitting next to you,
anybody? Which means in order to avoid falling into this category, what do you need to do?
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			To make sure your neighbors are safe from your evil?
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			What kind of evil? Are we talking about agenda?
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:49
			Are we talking about throwing rocks at them and cursing at them and painting their doors? You know,
wood, wood graffiti and all that stuff? Is that what we're talking about? That's part of it,
obviously, but what else? That could be something that's considered evil in the standards and the
culture of neighborhood like what
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			is it ignoring them?
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			I mean, that's gonna be neutralizing it. But what about
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			jealousy?
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:33
			Back Biron probably keep talking to them about, you know, whatever else, especially nowadays we have
web we have actually apps, like next door. And for example, if you guys know what that what that app
is, people in the same zip corcept neighborhood, they can they can chitchat and talk to each other
about what's going on the neighborhood. And sometimes some neighbors, they talk about other
neighbors. These are terrorists, these are this or that and all this kind of stuff happening on
these two hand on these apps. And it's sometimes depressing just to read what people how people
comment about each other and lampstand. That's even.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:53
			That's even imagine if Muslims getting involved and engaged in this kind of conversation about their
neighbors. And that on that, on that app, well, everybody in the neighborhood and zip code would
know about the number of their house, the street where they live in. So basically, they know which
houses the meaning they expose them to even more dangerous or more evil.
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			Okay, how about you know, blocking the driveway?
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			What do you guys think of that?
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:07
			Is that even, of course, about you know, park your car on their, on their front lawn?
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:12
			I mean, hamdullah they're our neighbors. They'll be okay with that. What do you guys think?
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:22
			What have your kids keep going to their flowers because our flowers are so pretty so they could pick
their flowers up. It's a Mashallah our neighbors are good. They know their kids, they don't mind.
They're a charlatan.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			They paid money for this.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:54
			So whatever they considered something you hate for yourself. And we hate that people will will do to
you in the house and in the neighborhood. Make sure that you don't expose your neighbors to this.
Now, we're not asking you to take the extra mile and be nice to them. We don't ask you to knock on
each one's door and give him a hug every time you come back from work. And every time we go to work
in the morning says Do you guys want anything? Can I get you something in the grocery store? You
don't have to do that with them. Just simply don't be bad.
		
00:06:55 --> 00:07:35
			Don't let them see an evil from you. If they're not gonna see any good from you. Just don't let them
see anything evil from you. Otherwise, that threat the Prophet sallallahu Sallam mentioned is really
dangerous, he said sobre la sala another narration lie at origin. Which means this explains the
meaning of the other narration the Prophet says La la la elopement is not a true believer is not a
true believer is not a true believer. They are the narration says lie at origin. He now will he will
not intergender the one whose neighbor is not safe from this evil. That's very dangerous. Last
point. And last question very much comes to someone's mind. Does that mean if someone acts in a bad
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:49
			way towards their neighbors, Muslims or non Muslim doesn't matter? If someone acts that bad to the
neighbor? Does it mean based on this head if this person will be completely considered or the villa
out of the fold of Islam? Because the Prophet says will lie alone and right? He's not a true
believer
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:56
			will look at the translation that I'm using. He is not a true believer. Didn't say he's not a
believer.
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:05
			What does that exactly mean? That means this statement is actually speaks about the perfection of
their faith, not the validity of the faith.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:44
			So if someone falls into this trap into this category, that means it's not there. They leave they go
out of the fold of Islam. No, it's just a matter of quality of the faith will be considered in
jeopardy. If the person becomes consistent other acts, it might take them out of older Islam or
develop it just like any other habit on our last panel on the prophet SAW Selim says, I had to
manipulate Allah, the son of the hypocrites or three and he mentioned the three signs that Allah
they say that doesn't mean the person is fully hypocrite. But the person basically has qualities of
hypocrisy if they practice these things similar to this hadith as well, in this, in this hadith also
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:44
			in the
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:50
			last panel that it says, will embody for 2 million million apathetic anti Fattah
		
00:08:51 --> 00:09:27
			if two groups of the believers fight against each other, then reconcile between them he called them
believers even though they fought against each other. And we know the prophets Allah Allah mentioned
the Hadith that if if people they fight the swords meet both of them orange Johanna so that's
basically is a sign of a sign of bankruptcy and go for but doesn't make the person again, you can
have our folders, MLS panel data protect us from any access to practice or umbrella mean or to be
able to neighbors or a brand in Las Vegas among those who have good neighbors, Allah, Allah, any
questions?
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:29
			Yes.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:36
			To the people.
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:51
			The professor, the question is, as a professor Sam explained this evil in any way like that he gave
any measure? What does it even mean? The answer is what now I don't know that the practices are
mentioned anywhere in the Hadith.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:59
			But he says he used the word amanat manjaro Baba and Goliath in the Arabic language. It's a general
statement for
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:37
			Sure, which means all kinds of evil. He didn't say major or minor, like anything that's considered
bad. Anything people considered evil in the context of neighborhood, they will count. Like if you
throw trash around the driveway, for example, even if you let's say, You're the only house where the
lawn in front of your house as martial arts, like as Savannah has become three feet high, and
everybody's martial to maintain their, their, their households and their cleanness of their lawn and
flowers, and so on. Why? Because that will affect the quality of the neighborhood, and the prices
and the precipitation of the area and so forth. So that also counts as part of the evil but is it?
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:48
			Is it something like blocking someone's driveway or throwing trash at their other place? No, but
definitely, it is considered bad that you need to take care of Allah. Now, yes.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:35
			We talk about what the evil if someone has some kind of evil against the neighbors in the area and
so on, do they have to go and seek forgiveness from everybody? Well, if it was done on that app, for
example, one statement saying to all the neighbors, I've heard, you know, potential unintentionally,
I apologize, a secret forgiveness of language. But if it wasn't done there, do you have to go and
knock on each one's door. I mean, there is no obligation. But if you know something, that it's half
of the neighbor that you need to give it back to them in any way, then you're going to have to go.
And let me just say, by the way, I think I owe you that much money because my kids, they destroy
		
00:11:35 --> 00:12:03
			your let's say, your shrubs and bushes in the area, you should have, you should do that online. And
by the way, just to give you an idea, just to give you a disclaimer over here, when you when you try
to show kindness to neighbors, also keep it within the context of what is considered reasonable.
Because unfortunately, and as Muslim, you might try to be that good neighbor to your neighbors
around you. Some of them may be there understand that concept like we do as Muslims, so they might
take advantage of you.
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:33
			Do you do you let go and let them take advantage of you? The answer is no. I'm being frank with you.
Something happened with me actually, a few years back when we first moved here, we had a trampoline
in the backyard. And one of those windy nights, or half is the next day in the morning. We wake up
it was very windy actually very very windy that at night so when we woke up the next day in the
morning, there was no trampoline in the backyard. Big trampoline huge. disappeared, vanished. And
		
00:12:36 --> 00:13:18
			where did it go? What happened to it? I hope someone stole it but no no one got hurt and because of
that, but somehow I went out looking crazy in the morning early in the morning looking for it just
looking all around and then finally I found it four or five houses ahead on the front yard auction a
driveway or one of the neighbors Angela no cars were damaged. No lives were lost fertilizer. But the
trampoline hit a couple of houses so broke the fence between me and the neighbor next door and the
guy next door went over his his roof and then eventually fell in front of the third house. So as a
neighborhood neighbor I went to their houses knock on the door says hey guys add to my trampoline
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:29
			did so and so. I apologize if there is anything I can do for you shall I would appreciate if you let
me know. So it can you know can do something about it. Man, after two days, this has brought me a
list.
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:57
			And they realize that they're trying to take advantage of course the roof was destroyed anyways
because of the not the trampoline because of the weather. So they wanted to do the whole thing. And
they're asking me basically to pay that much money. And I'm just like looking at him I says so you
basically want me to pay your your copay with the insurance company, right? Because I didn't mean
that says are you serious? That's what you're trying to do right now.
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:04
			So they want me to pay basically their their share with insurance for them to fix I said I'm sorry,
I'm not gonna do that.
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:16
			I'm gonna fix that, that that fence between me and you and that's it. So eventually, yeah, if that
courtesy that you show is going to be taken advantage of. You have all the right to stop it.
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:18
			A lot.
