Enjoy the weather.
I hope no one has no one has
any hail damage,
because I've seen some people send messages asking
about roofers, so I don't know what's happening.
Do you guys remember last night's hadith?
Anyone still remembers last night's hadith?
I
know that Isha is late and is close
to bedtime, yani,
time.
So doesn't mean that we're really really, you
know, bedtime story for you, Ajamal.
But
There's nothing afflicts the believer,
whether it's something physical or something emotional, something,
internal or external,
afflicted by himself or because of other people.
Any kind of pain that we go through,
you get reward for it. If you what?
Endure that with patience.
If you don't endure that with patience. Now
how does it look like? How do those
sins then you can fall off you with
with such a thing? The prophet gave a
beautiful metaphor
in this hadith. The people said, he gave
a beautiful metaphor in this hadith, and that
is hadith number 38 in the other sali.
Abdullah
ibn
Mas'ud Abdullah ibn Mas'ud Abdullah ibn Mas'ud says,
I visited the prophet
when he was suffering fever, when he was
ill. It was basically he was ill. He
didn't say fever, but he said,
which means he actually was ill.
Says, oh messenger of Allah, you seem that
you're suffering greatly.
You suffer greatly. How did how did Abdul
Mas'udnik recognize that?
It seems that he saw the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam, he's going through pain
that is more than than the usual average
person. I mean, when one of us for
example,
Allah protect you all, go through fever for
example, suffer cold.
How do you feel about it, jama?
SubhanAllah. When you start feeling that your nose
is stuffy, you feel that your nose is
bigger than your head sometimes.
And your eyes becomes water and itchy, you
can't even breathe. You feel that you're breathing
from a needle's hole, and you wake up
the whole household
just because, you know, you're sick.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
he had double that pain,
and he had to endure double that suffering
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
He says I suffer as much as 2
persons.
I I suffer double what you guys will
suffer.
He said, I replied, that Abdul Ahmed was
saying. I replied,
that was so and so then,
because
you, you got double the reward, you Rasoolullah.
Is that because you got double the reward?
Says, yes, indeed it's because of that. And
then he added
something.
Because now,
when you if you stop there,
what does it mean for us right now?
It feels like the prophet is getting double
their reward. Right? Okay. What about why can't
we then go to the same pain to
get double their reward as well too? Like,
why can't we then get the same?
Right? So the prophet
to kinda like,
yeah, and ease our hearts on this matter.
He said, salallahu alaihi wa sallam qal. However,
he says,
He says, however, no Muslim is afflicted by
a harm, be it the the the pricking
of a thorn or something more painful than
that. But Allah
thereby causes his sins to fall away
just as a tree sheds its leaves.
What does that mean?
When the when the when the tree sheds
the leaves, what does that mean?
It's gonna revive. Right?
It's gonna come and grow again, inshallah,
and have fresh season,
fresh start, you know, fresh mashallah, nice blossoming
flowers and leaves and so on. There's always
hope in that. Right?
Similarly, he says it's like, you know, that
the sins will fall off just like
the the the the leaves will fall off
the tree.
Sometimes we see this vector cutting so much
and then suddenly it's bare completely.
And when you think that it's dead, what
happens after that?
Subhanallah,
the new season comes and all of a
sudden it's
green again.
So the same thing with the believer,
Sometimes we carry so much load, unfortunately,
and we feel that this is it. We're
doomed.
And then all of this just falls off
by the grace of Allah
and it blossoming again.
So all of this is a cycle, but
the prophet has given us this visual sight.
And obviously, when you see the leaves, when
they die, they fall off. As long as
they're green, they're beautiful.
But when,
we start
falling into the sin,
these leaves starts dying.
But alhamdulillah,
they fall off. And you green fresh ones
come back again, inshallah.
And that's how the prophet
gave it that visual description of what we
talked about last night.
When the sins are going away, just like
you see the leaves are falling off, alhamdulillah,
they do so. And how often do they
fall off the tree of Jema'ah?
Almost all the time, right? Almost all the
time, seasonally, right?
And we have a lot of seasons, alhamdulillah,
that can give us the opportunity to start
fresh. Like what?
Ramadan to Ramadan, Hajj to Al Hajj, umrah
to umrah,
even Friday to Friday, subhanAllah. And even salawat,
the 5 daily prayers.
Lot of good opportunities
that will help you make all these leaves,
you know, fall off and new one come
out inshallah to be green and lush.
So make sure make sure to renew your
faith, renew your tawba, and always return back
to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Even when you
go through some difficulty,
just endure that with patience that may Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala reward you for the virginity
for those
Any questions, Jima?
Is there any difference
between
religious
hardships
versus dunya hardships?
Well, the prophet
did not make any difference
as long as you go through difficulty. However,
enduring matters of the akhirah is greater than
the matters of the dunya,
because the matters of the dunya and this
is just a personal thing. But for the
akhirah, it's for the sake of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala, and definitely it's much more rewarding.
So make sure to endure both, though. Both.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala protect us from
the.
I was waiting for someone to ask the
question, Jema. What if someone, Masha'allah, has evergreen
trees?
Well, these are no. These are righteous people,
Tabarakallah. These are still in Jannah.
But is there anybody in this dunya will
be ever green as Imam?
I mean,
we can't. We're human beings. So there's really
no one just always any green. There has
to be some time when those leaves should
be actually coming down. May Allah protect us
from the sin.
