00:00:02 --> 00:00:05
			Is it possible that a person can get
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:06
			the reward for shahid
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			just by being patient?
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			With regards to it.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:12
			I mean,
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			shuhada, the reward is what?
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			Is one of the greatest rewards in Jannah.
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:21
			Right? The prophet mentioned that their, their souls
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			already alive in Jannah.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			So can someone just by being patient get
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			the reward of a shahid?
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			Let's see that. In hadith Aisha radiAllahu ta'ala,
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			hadith number 33
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			and then the other salihim.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, actually ashardallahu anha.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			She asked the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45
			an. She said I asked the prophet sallallahu
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			alaihi wasallam about,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			pestilence, which is a plague
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			that rages and raves, you know, in the
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			community and kills people.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			Something similar to what happens, subhanAllah, on COVID,
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			where it just hits people right and left
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			and doesn't recognize
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			adult from young, men from women,
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			and people die in massive numbers.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			And back then, of course, the break of
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			this these plagues were common.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			So here, she said I asked the prophet
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			about a ta'un.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			He said to her it was it used
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			to be a punishment which Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			ta'ala send upon whom whomsoever
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			he was.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			He said
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:49
			after that, anyone who remains in a town
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:50
			which is
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			plagued with the pistons,
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:56
			maintaining patience, expecting the reward from Allah,
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59
			and knowing that nothing will befall him other
		
00:01:59 --> 00:01:59
			than what
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			Allah has,
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			foreordained for him, he will receive a reward
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			of a shahid, a martyr. So
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			let's see what they mean here. So Aisha
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			she asked the prophet about a town, plague
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			in general.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			So he said it used to be a
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			punishment for those who were before.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			Let's first of all talk about it. So
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			what does it mean exactly here? Because today
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:25
			we know through science and advancement of medicine
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			and so on, obviously, that these plagues have,
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			of course, a reason for that. The outbreak
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			happened because of viruses, because of something and
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			so on. So it's it has its own
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:37
			cause and and and and reason for it.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			So how is that Allah subhanahu,
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			uses punishment?
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			Now the ulama they say of course, even
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			contemporary scholars say look,
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he is the one
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			who's causing this virus to be the cause
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			for this for this plague.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			And he is the one who allows the
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			spread of this plague,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			for for certain reasons purposes.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:02
			Back then used to be punishment or at
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			least Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala would allow it
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			to spread
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			in certain direction
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			as punishment for certain people.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			Now what does that mean?
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			Did it stop being punishment?
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			I mean, we've just seen COVID
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			and it just was ravaging everywhere.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			So does it mean that,
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			back then how if this is not punishment,
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			so how did it look like back then
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:24
			then?
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			That's why some of the olemmat they say,
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			all the massive deaths or massive destruction that
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			happened to people
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			like and
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			Samud and the the the one before us,
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			all that common and massive destruction
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41
			ended with 1 prophet.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			Who was the last prophet that Allah Subhanahu
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			wa ta'ala during this time
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			allowed the people to go to this similar
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			destruction? Anyone knows?
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			Or at least they had to go through
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			all these trials.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			Which prophet?
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			Musa alaihis salaam.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:00
			Musa was the last prophet.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			As people they had to deal with what?
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			With the water turning blood,
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06
			with the grasshoppers
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			and frogs and this and they're like
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:09
			common.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			After Musa, none of this happened anymore.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			So therefore, using
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			any of these,
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24
			elements as massive punishment for people, Allah
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			didn't do that after this.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			So how now it is spreading in our
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			time? Is that concern punishment?
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			That's what the second part of prophet
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:37
			because
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala might cause some of
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			the believers to die in these plagues,
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			to erase their sins,
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:46
			elevate them,
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:50
			protect them from what could ever happen afterwards.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			Different reasons. But the prophet says it has
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:55
			been given as Rahmat al mumineen as a
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			mercy for the believers.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			Does that mean, if a person was even
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			not so well in terms of their practice
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			of the deed?
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			Maybe they maintained the 5 daily prayers
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:06
			but they had major
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			sins. They committed things here and there.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			Are they gonna be the same thing? Is
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			that also a mercy for them, Rahmaton for
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			them? Yeah. Perhaps.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			That could be one of their expressions of
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			their sins.
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			But to say that and
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			this person knows that they're gonna be going
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:25
			through this and they remain patient as they
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			go through that until they die.
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			They will receive the reward of a martyr.
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			Does that include in this wicked person or
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			this any sinner sinner in this scenario?
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:40
			Allahu Alem. Because even Shahada in this in
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43
			this active level or this context, different levels.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			So in matters of dunya,
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			we don't give them the of
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			the shahidah of the battlefield.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:52
			Like not to wash them or keep them
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			in their clothes and put them in the
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			grave and they say, no, we don't do
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			that to them.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			But in terms of the akhira, that's to
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			Allah as well he will with his will
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			he will reward them. So why did Allah
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			count according to his hadith and other hadith?
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:11
			Specific disease and illnesses and and and fatal,
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14
			yeah, and determinate illnesses as considered also aljur
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			the one who dies
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:21
			which means someone drowns or dies under,
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:24
			collapsing of buildings and so on. All these
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			are considered
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			Why is that? Because perhaps,
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			because of the amount of pain that they
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			project they go through, the amount of fear
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			and you can fear and one person goes
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			through his palace, something like that, would,
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:38
			would be nothing
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:41
			to reward them for other than being martyrs.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			That's the general meaning
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45
			of the Hayibas. As we can see the
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:45
			prophet
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47
			here, he is equating
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51
			the absolute patience in the face of atrocities
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:54
			that you have no control over such as
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:54
			plague.
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			This is will be as if you are
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			getting the reward of a shahid.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			This is how valuable patience is jamaah.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:04
			So those who always complain, they say, you
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			know what? I have short tempers. I'm, you
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			know, always angry. It runs in the family,
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			I have anger issues.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			Where are you from this reward?
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			Why would you pass on this opportunity
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			when you can just simply control what you
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			say, what you do, and hold it in
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
			your heart for the sake of Allah
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:24
			and get the reward of shaheed
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			even though you're sitting at
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			home. So we ask Allah
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			to protect us from any place
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			and keep us and our family safe you
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:37
			Allah. We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			to protect our brothers and sisters in Gaza.
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			We ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			to bring back our brothers, our doctors who
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:47
			are detained there and they're actually trapped there
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			to come back home safely.
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:50
			We ask Allah
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:53
			for their easy passage home. And for all
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:54
			those are there, we ask
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55
			to shield them, protect them.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:57
			Any
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59
			questions, you know?
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:02
			Yes.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			Yeah. So can we say since it used
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:13
			to be punishment before,
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			so what we call it today then for
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			the believers? Could be just
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			Which means it's test.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			It's test not punishment anymore.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			It's a test for everybody. To see how
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			people will react to it.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:34
			Yes.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			Very good point. So what does it mean
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			to be patient in this in this context
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:49
			right now? Being patient by just submitting yourself
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			to the situation, staying in your in that
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			town even though you might risk it and
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			and get infected and die because of it?
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			And just saying Alhamdulillah while things happen in
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:00
			your area? Or you're still saying Alhamdulillah,
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			you've been patient but you're trying to escape
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:03
			and get out of that land? Would that
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			also count as what? Well, the sunnah of
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he said
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:08
			that,
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			If you are in a town and the
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			plague
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:14
			breaks and spreads,
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:17
			don't get out of it.
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:21
			Or in Kundum, if you are out and
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22
			you hear about a land that has the
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			plague, don't go to it.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			So basically, those who are in certain town
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			and you hear the spread of a plague,
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			don't leave.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			And endure that with patience.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			But if you hear the plague happening in
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:37
			a nearby town
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:39
			and you have a chance to escape farther
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:42
			away from where you live, go for it.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			And that's what Umar did when he was
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:45
			with with Abu Ubaydah.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			When Abu Ubaydah invited him to come over,
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			so Amal Khattab heard that there's a plague
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			spreading in the area.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53
			So he told Abu Ubaydah,
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			you come down here.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			So Abu Ubaydah told him,
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			what? Are you gonna run away from Allah's
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:00
			qadr?
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:02
			And if the qadr of of plague is
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			gonna hit you, it's gonna hit you. So
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			I'm more brilliant, he answered,
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:08
			Of course, I'm I'm running away from qadr
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:09
			of Allah. But
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			I'm running away from the Qadr of of
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:15
			illness and sickness
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:18
			to the Qadr of safety and health. So
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			therefore, it's okay
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			if a person hears about a place not
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:23
			to go to and stay away from it.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			Of course. A shahada here,
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:51
			exercising patience in the face of great atrocities
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			and
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:55
			great pain. What level it is? Allahu Alem.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58
			But the prophet mentioned the hadith here. At
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:01
			dawn, plagues. There's another hadith the prophet mentioned.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03
			If someone dies under destruction
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:04
			or
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:07
			means fire or drowning
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:08
			or
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:11
			which means actually illness in in the, in
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:12
			the body which is some they say it's
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			cancer actually.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16
			So, eventually these diseases or these illnesses or
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:17
			these situations
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			will give a person an order of shahid
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:24
			if they endured that. Allahu ta'ala. With patience,
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:25
			of course, now. Yes.
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:36
			So given the reward without without measure, without
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			his up, does that apply to these people?
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			Not necessary.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:46
			It doesn't necessarily apply to big events that
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			you have to be patient over. But if
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:48
			someone,
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:50
			always
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			perseveres in patience until it becomes
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			one of their traits and qualities, that's what
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			it means. If someone is known to be
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:01
			patient because they've always been exercising patience, those
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			are the one who deserve to be called,
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			sabr and those are the one who deserve
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			the the the aya that Allah will give
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:10
			them reward without measure because it became part
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:11
			of their qualities, Yani.
