Alhamdulillahrubillahrubillahramin.
This hadith is, kinda like different from the
topics that we would talk about, the the
types of patients
that we've been discussing in the previous hadith.
Hadith number 51 on the other salihin,
from the book of patients.
This is specific about,
signs of the day of judgment or the
signs
near the day of judgment.
In this hadith, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam is saying,
you will see after me Athara,
favoritism,
and things which you will disapprove of.
The the Sahaba and Sirqari also,
what do we do in this case? What
do you order us to do in this
situation?
Discharge your obligations
and ask your rights from Allah Now
this hadith
is actually is,
related to some of the Alhamdulillah that say
exclusively when it comes to the subject of
leadership or rulers in the Muslim world.
What does it mean?
The word Athara in the Arabic language,
it's,
it's it's more of like the favoritism
in terms of matters of dunya.
Like you will find these people, especially in
the position of leadership
as a at the highest level of leadership,
as we see in the Muslim world these
days, unfortunately.
They rake all the the benefits of the
world, of the ummah.
And what do they give the people?
Pennies
or crumbs.
So they're raking everything of Hanuman and leaving
nothing for the people.
So people will see that, and they will
recognize that. As a matter of fact, we
see it regularly
when people always, you know, point to, the
highest level of leadership and say, look, they're
stealing all the wealth of the ummah. They're
doing this, they're doing that. And the prophet,
he knew that's what happened.
Some other hadith out of Mufasilin, they say
that it speaks about in general, not just
on the level of leadership.
Like we see these days how people are
so much into the dunya.
Like the Athar over here, they prefer
the dunya over everything else,
And they kinda like prefer the dunya to
themselves over anybody else.
And matters or things that you will disapprove.
Now this, they say, that's in matters of
the akhir and the deen.
Athara in matters of dunya, like they take
all the wealth of the dunya.
But umurantunqruna,
matters that you will disapprove of in matters
of religion and deen,
like we see in our time today.
In order for for these rulers to,
control
the the crowd, what did they do? They
invent
bida and innovations
and they invent, you know, and they allow
a long stand, some of these people who
have all these weird
beliefs
to become on top of everybody as leaders
of the Muslim ummah, and they start spreading
all these false things about the deen.
So you're gonna be seeing all that stuff.
And I guess we know in the past
few years in the Muslim world, particularly in
the Arab world, many of these so called
religious leadership, they came
promoting things for the society that's just like
off, like, wow, how could this be possible
today?
So the sahaba, they were shocked, qaliyah Rasoolallah,
because of course at the time of the
prophet, no one would imagine anything to be
to happen. How would it even possibly happen?
They couldn't even fathom the idea
that people who are Muslims, you you know,
would even think of something like that.
So for them being around the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam, comfortable with that, they could
never imagine anything to happen in the future.
What do you order us to do in
this situation? Like if we live until that
time, so what do we do?
Like whatever is due to upon you to
do, just do it.
Just do
it. Which means they don't deserve it from
you.
But you deserve to do the right thing
in all time. Some they say this is
in regards to the obedience or at least
when you give the bayah and give the
pledge to the amir, that means it means
you maintain that and you keep obedience to
them.
So you do that. That's your part towards
them.
And then you ask Allah
for your for your rights from Allah Azzawajal.
What does that mean? Being patient.
That means you're gonna be taken partly advantage
of. They're gonna maybe abuse some of your
rights. You're not gonna get much of what
you're probably you you you deserve.
So in this case,
if you can maintain patience
and at that level,
Now we're gonna see later on the prophet
was asked, or as a matter of fact,
we're gonna be talking about this,
to tomorrow, inshaAllah, in the tasil class when
we do the the shahab hadith,
remember Nirmala,
that to what level?
At what level? When do people can say,
you know, enough is enough here? So the
prophet gave indications,
says,
as long as they pray, not a narration,
which means as long as they allow you
to maintain the salah.
So in some in some places we know
that people can't even go to the masjid
twice
without being questioned or even disappeared sometimes.
So when the situation becomes at that level,
the massages are shut down and being, you
know, closed and people are not allowed to
go to the massages,
that's a different story. People have right now,
they're gonna have to fight for their deen
and making sure that they do the right
thing. So that's a very important message that
actually people should understand. But here, the prophet
says,
when it's a matter of dunya,
it's okay.
Leave them to Allah, azza wa jal. Just
do your part.
When it matters of the akhirah,
you have to continue to do what is
right and stay away from that which is
wrong and ask Allah
for the best.
Will Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala protect us from these difficult
times.
No. Any questions,
