Alhamdulillah, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has given

00:01:53 --> 00:01:58

us such a religion that the judgment only

00:01:58 --> 00:02:00

belongs to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:02:00 --> 00:02:05

We humans are born with a judgmental sense

00:02:05 --> 00:02:08

that we like to judge people according to

00:02:08 --> 00:02:10

what they do or how they have been

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12

or how they look.

00:02:12 --> 00:02:15

But in Islam, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:02:15 --> 00:02:19

is the only one who can judge and

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20

other than that, we cannot.

00:02:20 --> 00:02:23

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala teaches us throughout

00:02:23 --> 00:02:26

the Qur'an through the different narratives of

00:02:26 --> 00:02:26

the anbiya.

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

And he teaches us through the sayings of

00:02:29 --> 00:02:30

the Prophet ﷺ.

00:02:31 --> 00:02:33

And he also teaches us through the seerah

00:02:33 --> 00:02:36

of the Prophet ﷺ in the lives of

00:02:36 --> 00:02:40

the companions that we cannot judge anyone.

00:02:41 --> 00:02:43

Only Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala can.

00:02:44 --> 00:02:47

We may think that somebody looks very pious,

00:02:47 --> 00:02:49

somebody looks very good and that this person,

00:02:50 --> 00:02:51

if it was up to us, we will

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

give him the ticket to Jannah right now.

00:02:54 --> 00:02:56

And at the same time, we may think

00:02:56 --> 00:02:59

that somebody is a very big sinner and

00:02:59 --> 00:03:02

that this person does not deserve any mercy

00:03:02 --> 00:03:03

of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala whatsoever.

00:03:04 --> 00:03:07

But at the same time, we see throughout

00:03:07 --> 00:03:10

history that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has

00:03:10 --> 00:03:11

shown us the other side.

00:03:11 --> 00:03:14

Somebody might be pious their whole entire life,

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

but the end is different.

00:03:17 --> 00:03:20

And somebody might go through struggles and tortures

00:03:20 --> 00:03:24

throughout the whole life, struggling to stay away

00:03:24 --> 00:03:25

from sin.

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

But then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, He

00:03:27 --> 00:03:28

changes their life.

00:03:28 --> 00:03:33

And so today, I want to specifically focus

00:03:33 --> 00:03:35

on this topic because it's one of the

00:03:35 --> 00:03:41

diseases of our community that we tend to

00:03:41 --> 00:03:44

judge people to hold them for what they

00:03:44 --> 00:03:47

have done and not let go.

00:03:48 --> 00:03:51

When Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the creator

00:03:51 --> 00:03:55

of this being is able to forgive and

00:03:55 --> 00:03:59

let go of somebody's past, then what makes

00:03:59 --> 00:04:02

us hold somebody accountable?

00:04:03 --> 00:04:06

What makes us think that this person cannot

00:04:06 --> 00:04:09

be guided or this person cannot be forgiven?

00:04:09 --> 00:04:12

This is a very important thing that we

00:04:12 --> 00:04:14

need to focus on as a community because

00:04:14 --> 00:04:17

this is one of those things that creates

00:04:17 --> 00:04:17

division.

00:04:18 --> 00:04:21

And we may think that that division is

00:04:21 --> 00:04:24

not a big deal, but that exact division

00:04:24 --> 00:04:29

is contributing to why today we may not

00:04:29 --> 00:04:32

see the Muslims in such a great condition.

00:04:32 --> 00:04:35

We want our voices to be heard in

00:04:35 --> 00:04:39

White House, in Washington DC, in the United

00:04:39 --> 00:04:40

Nations.

00:04:40 --> 00:04:43

But it starts off right here with every

00:04:43 --> 00:04:48

single person's heart, cleaning his heart from any

00:04:48 --> 00:04:52

malice, enmity or negativity towards a Muslim brother.

00:04:53 --> 00:04:56

And it starts off as a community that

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59

we do not hold things against each other,

00:04:59 --> 00:05:03

rather we look for the positivity in everything.

00:05:04 --> 00:05:07

The Prophet ﷺ wants us to change our

00:05:07 --> 00:05:12

mindset that even if somebody has the worst

00:05:12 --> 00:05:15

past, even if somebody is involved in the

00:05:15 --> 00:05:19

worst sins possible, but that person has a

00:05:19 --> 00:05:20

potential.

00:05:21 --> 00:05:25

Because the Prophet ﷺ compared, and I'll say

00:05:25 --> 00:05:28

not even compares figuratively, but he actually says,

00:05:28 --> 00:05:32

الناس معادن That people are like mines.

00:05:33 --> 00:05:36

He calls people mines.

00:05:36 --> 00:05:37

What type of mines?

00:05:38 --> 00:05:42

كمعادن الذهب والفضة They're like the mines of

00:05:42 --> 00:05:43

gold and silver.

00:05:44 --> 00:05:47

Today, if somebody was to get a mine

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

of gold and silver, he found his success

00:05:49 --> 00:05:50

of this world.

00:05:51 --> 00:05:52

He has all the wealth that he could

00:05:52 --> 00:05:53

imagine.

00:05:53 --> 00:05:55

Saudi became Saudi because of the oil.

00:05:56 --> 00:05:58

Countries became rich because of the different treasures

00:05:58 --> 00:05:59

they find.

00:06:00 --> 00:06:03

The Prophet ﷺ, he calls, what?

00:06:04 --> 00:06:07

انسان He calls the people, he calls them

00:06:07 --> 00:06:11

معادن, he calls them mines, like the mines

00:06:11 --> 00:06:12

of gold and silver.

00:06:13 --> 00:06:18

Then he said, خيارهم في الجاهلية The best

00:06:18 --> 00:06:21

of them in the time of ignorance, in

00:06:21 --> 00:06:25

their worst moments, in them being disconnected to

00:06:25 --> 00:06:30

Allah ﷻ, خيارهم في الإسلام إذا فقه They

00:06:30 --> 00:06:32

are going to be the best of people

00:06:32 --> 00:06:36

once they get the proper understanding of this

00:06:36 --> 00:06:37

deen.

00:06:38 --> 00:06:41

So today you might see someone, you might

00:06:41 --> 00:06:44

think that man, this person, he is involved

00:06:44 --> 00:06:46

in so much bad that we put the

00:06:46 --> 00:06:48

stamp on him as if this person is

00:06:48 --> 00:06:50

going to go to Jahannam forever and done.

00:06:51 --> 00:06:54

But let's stop for a moment and look

00:06:54 --> 00:06:57

at people within our own history, who have

00:06:57 --> 00:06:57

had past.

00:06:58 --> 00:07:02

But when Allah ﷻ forgave them, they became

00:07:02 --> 00:07:03

the best people on the earth.

00:07:04 --> 00:07:07

And of them are the sahaba radiallahu anhu.

00:07:08 --> 00:07:11

Some of the sahaba radiallahu anhu, for example,

00:07:11 --> 00:07:15

Ikrimah ibn Abi Jahl, the son of Abu

00:07:15 --> 00:07:18

Jahl, who was the right hand man of

00:07:18 --> 00:07:20

his father, who is known as the Fir

00:07:20 --> 00:07:24

'aun of this ummah, who tortured Muslims like

00:07:24 --> 00:07:27

no other, who made it a goal and

00:07:27 --> 00:07:30

a mission to torture the Muslims and the

00:07:30 --> 00:07:31

Prophet ﷺ.

00:07:32 --> 00:07:35

But when Ikrimah radiallahu anhu, towards the very

00:07:35 --> 00:07:38

end stage of the life of the Prophet

00:07:38 --> 00:07:43

ﷺ, when he became Muslim, subhanAllah, he fought

00:07:43 --> 00:07:45

in every battle for Islam.

00:07:46 --> 00:07:48

And he said that this is the only

00:07:48 --> 00:07:51

way I can make up for all the

00:07:51 --> 00:07:53

blood that I've shed from the Muslims.

00:07:54 --> 00:07:56

We hear the story that there was a

00:07:56 --> 00:08:01

sahabi who was on the battleground, he was

00:08:01 --> 00:08:04

dying, he needed water, and he wanted to

00:08:04 --> 00:08:04

drink something.

00:08:05 --> 00:08:08

And somebody brought him water and he hears

00:08:08 --> 00:08:11

somebody else yearning, and somebody else calling for

00:08:11 --> 00:08:12

water.

00:08:13 --> 00:08:14

And so he goes, he's like, no, go

00:08:14 --> 00:08:16

give the water to my brother.

00:08:17 --> 00:08:18

And that person is like, no, go give

00:08:18 --> 00:08:19

it to the next one.

00:08:20 --> 00:08:24

They're preferring each other over themselves.

00:08:26 --> 00:08:28

We hear this story, many of us have

00:08:28 --> 00:08:29

heard this story.

00:08:29 --> 00:08:30

Who is this person?

00:08:30 --> 00:08:32

Who is the first person the water was

00:08:32 --> 00:08:33

offered to?

00:08:33 --> 00:08:35

It was Ikrimah ibn Abi Jahl radiallahu anhu.

00:08:36 --> 00:08:41

Yes, he was assisting every effort against Islam.

00:08:41 --> 00:08:44

But when he became Muslim, all of that

00:08:44 --> 00:08:45

was done.

00:08:45 --> 00:08:47

And he looked positive.

00:08:48 --> 00:08:50

The person who killed the uncle of the

00:08:50 --> 00:08:55

Prophet ﷺ, Wahshi ibn Haram, he caused the

00:08:55 --> 00:08:58

Prophet ﷺ so much pain that the Prophet

00:08:58 --> 00:09:01

ﷺ would tell him that, don't sit in

00:09:01 --> 00:09:03

front of me because it causes me pain,

00:09:03 --> 00:09:04

sit to the side.

00:09:05 --> 00:09:09

Even then the Prophet ﷺ forgave him, Allah

00:09:09 --> 00:09:10

forgave him.

00:09:11 --> 00:09:13

And Wahshi became such that he went on

00:09:13 --> 00:09:17

to kill Musaylimah ibn al-Kazzab, the false

00:09:17 --> 00:09:20

prophet that emerged at that time and claimed

00:09:20 --> 00:09:21

to be a prophet.

00:09:21 --> 00:09:23

Wahshi ibn Haram went on to kill him.

00:09:24 --> 00:09:26

And a more example that you guys might

00:09:26 --> 00:09:28

already know, is who?

00:09:29 --> 00:09:30

Is Umar radiallahu anhu.

00:09:30 --> 00:09:33

Umar radiallahu anhu was a staunch enemy of

00:09:33 --> 00:09:34

Islam.

00:09:35 --> 00:09:37

He would beat up a slave girl to

00:09:37 --> 00:09:40

the point where he says, مَا تَرَكْتُكِ إِلَّا

00:09:40 --> 00:09:43

مَلَالَةً I do not leave beating you except

00:09:43 --> 00:09:46

that I'm bored and tired of beating you.

00:09:46 --> 00:09:47

That's how much he would be beating them.

00:09:48 --> 00:09:51

One day when the companions were traveling from

00:09:51 --> 00:09:55

Mecca to Ethiopia to Habasha, Layla, one of

00:09:55 --> 00:09:57

the Sahabiah, she sees Umar radiallahu anhu.

00:09:57 --> 00:09:59

And Umar asked, where are you going?

00:09:59 --> 00:10:01

And she said, you guys are torturing us

00:10:01 --> 00:10:03

so much that we have to leave our

00:10:03 --> 00:10:05

town and go somewhere else.

00:10:05 --> 00:10:07

And Umar radiallahu anhu is like, really?

00:10:08 --> 00:10:10

Have the situation gotten this bad?

00:10:10 --> 00:10:13

When later her husband comes, she says that

00:10:13 --> 00:10:15

Umar became really soft.

00:10:16 --> 00:10:19

And her husband laughs and says, really?

00:10:19 --> 00:10:21

Are you hopeful that Umar is going to

00:10:21 --> 00:10:22

become Muslim or something?

00:10:23 --> 00:10:26

Wallahi, the donkey of ibn al-Khattab will

00:10:26 --> 00:10:29

accept Islam before Umar does.

00:10:31 --> 00:10:35

Wallahi, the donkey, Himar ibn al-Khattab will

00:10:35 --> 00:10:38

accept Islam before Umar radiallahu anhu does.

00:10:38 --> 00:10:39

That was his reputation.

00:10:40 --> 00:10:41

That's how people knew.

00:10:41 --> 00:10:43

People thought that there was no hope.

00:10:43 --> 00:10:45

There was no hope for this guy of

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47

how much he used to torture the Muslims.

00:10:50 --> 00:10:51

To top it off, the one day he

00:10:51 --> 00:10:53

takes his sword and says, today I'm going

00:10:53 --> 00:10:54

to go and I'm going to kill the

00:10:54 --> 00:10:55

Prophet ﷺ.

00:10:56 --> 00:10:56

Na'udhu billah.

00:10:56 --> 00:11:00

But subhanallah, look at who he becomes.

00:11:01 --> 00:11:04

When he left his past, when he turned

00:11:04 --> 00:11:06

to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, when he

00:11:06 --> 00:11:08

said that, that's it.

00:11:08 --> 00:11:10

I am changing my life.

00:11:11 --> 00:11:13

I am not going to look back.

00:11:14 --> 00:11:17

Subhanallah, he becomes the right hand man of

00:11:17 --> 00:11:17

the Prophet ﷺ.

00:11:18 --> 00:11:20

He becomes the second khalifa.

00:11:21 --> 00:11:24

And he becomes one where in his reign

00:11:24 --> 00:11:26

Islam spread to all over the world.

00:11:26 --> 00:11:29

If it was left to the judgment of

00:11:29 --> 00:11:32

the humans, then they would have seen the

00:11:32 --> 00:11:38

donkey of Khattab accepting Islam before Umar radiallahu

00:11:38 --> 00:11:38

anhu does.

00:11:39 --> 00:11:40

But when you leave it to the judgment

00:11:40 --> 00:11:43

of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, you will

00:11:43 --> 00:11:46

see how every single person is a mind.

00:11:47 --> 00:11:50

How every single person has tremendous potential.

00:11:51 --> 00:11:55

So today, I call on every single person,

00:11:56 --> 00:11:58

let's leave aside our judgments.

00:11:59 --> 00:12:00

We don't know.

00:12:01 --> 00:12:03

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala knows the reality.

00:12:04 --> 00:12:08

Let's not put ourselves in the position of

00:12:08 --> 00:12:08

Allah.

00:12:09 --> 00:12:11

Let's not put ourselves in the position to

00:12:11 --> 00:12:12

be judging others.

00:12:13 --> 00:12:15

Because if we are judging others, we are

00:12:15 --> 00:12:17

putting our own selves at risk.

00:12:18 --> 00:12:21

You would be shocked to see people who

00:12:21 --> 00:12:27

have great lifestyle and everything, but what happens

00:12:27 --> 00:12:28

to them?

00:12:28 --> 00:12:31

One of the cousins of the Prophet ﷺ,

00:12:32 --> 00:12:35

the cousins of the Prophet ﷺ, Ubaidullah ibn

00:12:35 --> 00:12:35

Jahsh.

00:12:36 --> 00:12:38

He was one of the first people to

00:12:38 --> 00:12:41

accept Islam before Umar radiallahu anhu.

00:12:41 --> 00:12:44

He was so strong in his faith, that

00:12:44 --> 00:12:46

he left Makkah to go all the way

00:12:46 --> 00:12:49

to Ethiopia, to go to Habasha.

00:12:49 --> 00:12:52

And over there, he converted to Christianity and

00:12:52 --> 00:12:53

passed away like that.

00:12:55 --> 00:12:59

You cannot be certain that today you being

00:12:59 --> 00:13:02

in this masjid, that today you might have

00:13:02 --> 00:13:05

a dhari, a beard this big and a

00:13:05 --> 00:13:06

topi and all of that.

00:13:06 --> 00:13:09

You cannot be certain that you have gained

00:13:09 --> 00:13:10

the ticket to Jannah.

00:13:11 --> 00:13:13

And you cannot be certain that the person

00:13:13 --> 00:13:16

who might be out there committing zina, that

00:13:16 --> 00:13:17

that's a person of Jahannam.

00:13:18 --> 00:13:20

Leave this to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:13:20 --> 00:13:21

This is not your job, this is not

00:13:21 --> 00:13:22

my job.

00:13:23 --> 00:13:26

If Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is willing

00:13:26 --> 00:13:28

to forgive and let go of the sins

00:13:28 --> 00:13:31

of other people, why aren't we letting go

00:13:31 --> 00:13:32

of the sins of other people?

00:13:33 --> 00:13:35

Why are we calling upon their past?

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

Why are we reminding them of what they

00:13:38 --> 00:13:38

did?

00:13:39 --> 00:13:42

And so we as Muslims, if we want

00:13:42 --> 00:13:44

to be united, we have to go back

00:13:44 --> 00:13:46

to the guidance of the Prophet ﷺ.

00:13:48 --> 00:13:51

A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and

00:13:51 --> 00:13:53

said, O Prophet of Allah, I am pregnant

00:13:53 --> 00:13:55

because I have fornicated.

00:13:56 --> 00:13:58

And the Prophet ﷺ, she's like, Prophet of

00:13:58 --> 00:13:59

Allah, punish me.

00:14:01 --> 00:14:03

The Prophet ﷺ said what?

00:14:03 --> 00:14:05

He says, go until you give birth.

00:14:07 --> 00:14:09

She comes back after giving birth.

00:14:09 --> 00:14:11

The Prophet ﷺ said, go until the child

00:14:11 --> 00:14:12

is able to eat.

00:14:13 --> 00:14:15

Back and forth, back and forth, until the

00:14:15 --> 00:14:18

day she comes and the punishment is done

00:14:18 --> 00:14:19

and she passes away.

00:14:19 --> 00:14:22

And the Prophet ﷺ is going to pray

00:14:22 --> 00:14:23

the janazah.

00:14:23 --> 00:14:25

Umar radiallahu anhu is like, O Prophet of

00:14:25 --> 00:14:27

Allah, you're gonna pray her janazah while she

00:14:27 --> 00:14:28

has fornicated?

00:14:29 --> 00:14:31

What does the Prophet ﷺ say?

00:14:32 --> 00:14:35

Wallahi, she has made such tawbah that if

00:14:35 --> 00:14:38

it was to be distributed on the 70

00:14:38 --> 00:14:40

people of Madinah, it would suffice all of

00:14:40 --> 00:14:41

them today.

00:14:43 --> 00:14:47

We don't know what somebody's tawbah may be.

00:14:47 --> 00:14:50

We don't know the strength of anybody's tawbah.

00:14:51 --> 00:14:54

But we know one thing, that if somebody

00:14:54 --> 00:14:57

is trying to change, we must help them

00:14:57 --> 00:15:00

through that process, not make it difficult for

00:15:00 --> 00:15:00

them.

00:15:00 --> 00:15:03

If somebody is trying to give up certain

00:15:03 --> 00:15:06

way of life, we must help them with

00:15:06 --> 00:15:06

that process.

00:15:07 --> 00:15:09

And one of the main ways to help

00:15:09 --> 00:15:12

them with that process is to think about

00:15:12 --> 00:15:16

our own shortcomings, to think that we have

00:15:16 --> 00:15:19

not gotten the ticket to jannah just yet.

00:15:20 --> 00:15:22

My father was telling me a story once.

00:15:23 --> 00:15:24

He said there was a great shaykh.

00:15:25 --> 00:15:27

People would go and tell him, make dua

00:15:27 --> 00:15:28

for us.

00:15:29 --> 00:15:31

Anytime he was given the platform to make

00:15:31 --> 00:15:35

dua, he always made one dua, and that

00:15:35 --> 00:15:38

was for husni khatima, for the best ending.

00:15:38 --> 00:15:40

Ya Allah, you give us a good ending.

00:15:41 --> 00:15:43

Ya Allah, you allow us to die with

00:15:43 --> 00:15:43

iman.

00:15:43 --> 00:15:45

You allow us to die with faith.

00:15:45 --> 00:15:47

This was the dua he always made.

00:15:48 --> 00:15:50

He said the people one day asked him,

00:15:50 --> 00:15:53

Shaykh, why is it that you're always just

00:15:53 --> 00:15:54

making this one dua?

00:15:55 --> 00:15:57

He said, I did not want to share

00:15:57 --> 00:15:59

the secret, but since you guys insist.

00:16:00 --> 00:16:02

My brother was a much greater scholar than

00:16:02 --> 00:16:03

me.

00:16:03 --> 00:16:05

People from all over the world came to

00:16:05 --> 00:16:05

visit him.

00:16:06 --> 00:16:09

But at the time of death, he denounced

00:16:09 --> 00:16:11

Islam and he passed away like that.

00:16:11 --> 00:16:14

And since then, I always make dua that

00:16:14 --> 00:16:16

Ya Allah, you give us a husni khatima,

00:16:17 --> 00:16:20

because it's not about how we're living today,

00:16:20 --> 00:16:22

it's about how we are going to die.

00:16:22 --> 00:16:25

When we start to think that we are

00:16:25 --> 00:16:27

not perfect, that we have to earn our

00:16:27 --> 00:16:30

jannah, that we don't know what's gonna happen

00:16:30 --> 00:16:32

at the time of our death, we will

00:16:32 --> 00:16:35

become easy with judging other people, and pointing

00:16:35 --> 00:16:38

fingers at them, and bringing back their past,

00:16:38 --> 00:16:40

and telling them that you're this and you're

00:16:40 --> 00:16:40

that.

00:16:42 --> 00:16:44

If Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is saying,

00:16:44 --> 00:16:48

إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقْبَلُ تَوْبَةَ عَبْدٍ مَا لَمْ يُغَرْغِرُ

00:16:48 --> 00:16:52

That Allah is accepting the tawbah of His

00:16:52 --> 00:16:56

servant, so long as the sakaratul mawd, so

00:16:56 --> 00:16:59

long as the death throes does not come

00:16:59 --> 00:17:00

to His throat.

00:17:01 --> 00:17:03

Who are you and I to say that

00:17:03 --> 00:17:05

this person is like this, and this person

00:17:05 --> 00:17:06

is like that?

00:17:07 --> 00:17:08

Yes, there is well-wishing.

00:17:08 --> 00:17:11

Yes, there is an opportunity for you to

00:17:11 --> 00:17:13

go, and an opportunity for you to give

00:17:13 --> 00:17:16

dawah, an opportunity for you to bring the

00:17:16 --> 00:17:19

person towards the right path, but not for

00:17:19 --> 00:17:21

you to go, and for you to pinpoint,

00:17:21 --> 00:17:23

and for you to look down upon, and

00:17:23 --> 00:17:24

for you to start talking about it as

00:17:24 --> 00:17:27

community, that this person this, and this person

00:17:27 --> 00:17:27

that.

00:17:28 --> 00:17:29

We don't know.

00:17:30 --> 00:17:32

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala teaches us

00:17:32 --> 00:17:36

that we are خُلِقَ الْإِنسَانُ ضَعِيفًا عَجُولًا All

00:17:36 --> 00:17:38

of these things, we are rushed, we are

00:17:38 --> 00:17:42

weak, our knowledge is insufficient, and we are

00:17:42 --> 00:17:43

rushing towards conclusions.

00:17:44 --> 00:17:46

Allah teaches this in the Qur'an.

00:17:47 --> 00:17:50

When Musa a.s. travels with Khidr a

00:17:50 --> 00:17:53

.s. Khidr a.s. goes and kills a

00:17:53 --> 00:17:53

person.

00:17:54 --> 00:17:55

Musa a.s. is like, this doesn't make

00:17:55 --> 00:17:56

any sense.

00:17:57 --> 00:17:58

Why would you go kill a person?

00:17:59 --> 00:18:01

But Khidr a.s. knew what Musa a

00:18:01 --> 00:18:02

.s. did not know.

00:18:04 --> 00:18:06

Khidr a.s. goes and makes a hole

00:18:06 --> 00:18:08

in a boat for poor people.

00:18:09 --> 00:18:10

And Musa a.s. is like, this doesn't

00:18:10 --> 00:18:11

make any sense.

00:18:11 --> 00:18:12

Why would you do this?

00:18:12 --> 00:18:15

And what is Musa a.s.? He's like,

00:18:15 --> 00:18:16

how are you doing this?

00:18:17 --> 00:18:19

Khidr a.s. knew what Musa a.s.

00:18:19 --> 00:18:19

did not know.

00:18:19 --> 00:18:23

And so we should understand that our knowledge

00:18:23 --> 00:18:24

is limited.

00:18:25 --> 00:18:28

Our knowing of the situation of the other

00:18:28 --> 00:18:31

person or whatever it may be, it is

00:18:31 --> 00:18:31

limited.

00:18:32 --> 00:18:34

So let's not be so judgmental.

00:18:35 --> 00:18:37

Let's not rush towards that.

00:18:37 --> 00:18:41

We see that even if Allah a.s.

00:18:42 --> 00:18:43

forgives, this is the one quality we need

00:18:43 --> 00:18:45

to bring into our life.

00:18:46 --> 00:18:47

That how can you forgive?

00:18:47 --> 00:18:48

How can I forgive?

00:18:48 --> 00:18:51

How can we clean our hearts?

00:18:52 --> 00:18:53

How can we make it that as if

00:18:53 --> 00:18:54

nothing has happened?

00:18:55 --> 00:18:57

Look at Yusuf a.s. What did his

00:18:57 --> 00:18:58

brothers do to him?

00:18:58 --> 00:19:01

His brothers threw him into a well, planned

00:19:01 --> 00:19:02

to kill him.

00:19:03 --> 00:19:05

But when Yusuf a.s. finally, he has

00:19:05 --> 00:19:08

the throne, he has the kingdom, he has

00:19:08 --> 00:19:09

the power.

00:19:10 --> 00:19:12

What does Yusuf a.s. do?

00:19:13 --> 00:19:16

Does he go and start telling them that,

00:19:16 --> 00:19:17

Oh, you remember you did this to me?

00:19:17 --> 00:19:19

You remember you did that to me?

00:19:19 --> 00:19:20

None of that happened.

00:19:21 --> 00:19:22

He forgives.

00:19:22 --> 00:19:26

And so today if we forgive, Allah a

00:19:26 --> 00:19:27

.s. will forgive us.

00:19:27 --> 00:19:30

If we clean our hearts out of bull,

00:19:30 --> 00:19:34

out of hatred towards other people, Allah a

00:19:34 --> 00:19:35

.s. will help us with that.

00:19:36 --> 00:19:38

And that is the...

00:19:38 --> 00:19:39

You see one time the Prophet s.a

00:19:39 --> 00:19:41

.w. was with his companions.

00:19:41 --> 00:19:44

One companion came from a corner and he

00:19:44 --> 00:19:45

has his shoes in his hand.

00:19:45 --> 00:19:47

The Prophet s.a.w. before the person

00:19:47 --> 00:19:49

comes, he said, the person who's gonna come

00:19:49 --> 00:19:51

from that corner is from the people of

00:19:51 --> 00:19:51

Jannah.

00:19:52 --> 00:19:53

And then the next day, same thing.

00:19:54 --> 00:19:56

The people coming, the person coming from that

00:19:56 --> 00:19:57

corner is from the people of Jannah.

00:19:58 --> 00:19:58

Same person.

00:19:59 --> 00:20:00

Third day, same person.

00:20:00 --> 00:20:03

The sahaba are shocked that what is so

00:20:03 --> 00:20:04

great about this person?

00:20:05 --> 00:20:07

What is it that he do that brought

00:20:07 --> 00:20:09

him to that point where the Prophet s

00:20:09 --> 00:20:12

.a.w. three times saying, that he is

00:20:12 --> 00:20:13

from the people of Jannah.

00:20:15 --> 00:20:18

And so, one of the companions, of course,

00:20:18 --> 00:20:19

they're eager to earn Jannah.

00:20:20 --> 00:20:21

He wants to know what he does.

00:20:21 --> 00:20:23

He goes to him, like, can I stay

00:20:23 --> 00:20:24

with you for a few nights?

00:20:24 --> 00:20:26

He stays with him to see, because he

00:20:26 --> 00:20:28

didn't see anything tremendous in his life.

00:20:28 --> 00:20:31

Maybe in his private life, at home, at

00:20:31 --> 00:20:33

night time, he might do something that's extraordinary.

00:20:34 --> 00:20:35

So he stays with him at night.

00:20:35 --> 00:20:38

The first night, he doesn't see anything special.

00:20:38 --> 00:20:40

Second night, nothing special.

00:20:40 --> 00:20:43

Third, when he sees that there's nothing special,

00:20:43 --> 00:20:44

he's about to leave.

00:20:45 --> 00:20:48

And he says, listen, the reason why I

00:20:48 --> 00:20:49

came, I don't really have any issue or

00:20:49 --> 00:20:50

anything.

00:20:50 --> 00:20:52

The reason why I came is the Prophet

00:20:52 --> 00:20:54

s.a.w. said this about you, that

00:20:54 --> 00:20:55

you're from the people of Jannah.

00:20:56 --> 00:20:57

I wanted to see what do you do

00:20:57 --> 00:20:58

that is so special.

00:20:59 --> 00:21:02

He says, there's nothing, you saw my life,

00:21:02 --> 00:21:03

there isn't really much that I'm doing.

00:21:04 --> 00:21:07

He said, okay, I'm gonna leave.

00:21:07 --> 00:21:09

He's leaving, then he tells him, he's like,

00:21:09 --> 00:21:11

wait, actually there's one thing, maybe it's because

00:21:11 --> 00:21:11

of that.

00:21:11 --> 00:21:12

He says, what's that one thing?

00:21:12 --> 00:21:15

He says, before I go to sleep, I

00:21:15 --> 00:21:17

clean my heart out of any type of

00:21:17 --> 00:21:20

hatred and malice toward anyone.

00:21:21 --> 00:21:23

Simple sunnah of the Prophet s.a.w.

00:21:24 --> 00:21:27

These are the sunnahs of the heart that

00:21:27 --> 00:21:29

we need to bring into our life.

00:21:29 --> 00:21:32

There are certain actions that divides our community.

00:21:32 --> 00:21:35

One of those actions is to be judgmental.

00:21:35 --> 00:21:37

And the reason why we are judgmental is

00:21:37 --> 00:21:39

because we assume, and the Prophet s.a

00:21:39 --> 00:21:45

.w. tells us, اياكم والظن Be aware of

00:21:45 --> 00:21:45

assumption.

00:21:46 --> 00:21:51

فإن ظن أكذب الأحادي Because assumption is the

00:21:51 --> 00:21:55

worst or the most severest of lies.

00:21:56 --> 00:22:00

We assume, if we see someone, immediately we

00:22:00 --> 00:22:01

put a stamp on him.

00:22:01 --> 00:22:03

And so that is something that we see.

00:22:04 --> 00:22:06

The Prophet s.a.w. says, I will

00:22:06 --> 00:22:07

finish off with this hadith.

00:22:07 --> 00:22:11

This hadith goes on, اياكم والظن فإن الظن

00:22:11 --> 00:22:17

أكذب الأحادي Be aware of suspicion, because suspicion

00:22:17 --> 00:22:19

is the worst of lies.

00:22:19 --> 00:22:23

Then he goes on to say, ولا تحسسوا

00:22:23 --> 00:22:25

And do not go and try to investigate

00:22:25 --> 00:22:26

this matter.

00:22:26 --> 00:22:29

ولا تجسسوا Do not try to go and

00:22:29 --> 00:22:31

say, Okay, let me find out about this,

00:22:31 --> 00:22:32

and let me find out about that, and

00:22:32 --> 00:22:34

let me investigate this matter, and let me

00:22:34 --> 00:22:35

investigate that matter.

00:22:36 --> 00:22:36

What did this guy do?

00:22:37 --> 00:22:38

How did he earn his money?

00:22:38 --> 00:22:39

How did he spend that money?

00:22:40 --> 00:22:43

ولا تباغضوا And do not create enmity or

00:22:43 --> 00:22:45

hatred amongst each other.

00:22:45 --> 00:22:48

ولا تدابروا And do not refrain from each

00:22:48 --> 00:22:51

other or cut relationships with each other.

00:22:51 --> 00:22:55

وكونوا عباد الله إخوانا And be, for the

00:22:55 --> 00:22:58

sake of Allah, be brothers for each other.

00:22:59 --> 00:23:01

And so just this hadith, if we were

00:23:01 --> 00:23:03

to act upon it, if we were to

00:23:03 --> 00:23:05

stay away from suspicion, if we were to

00:23:05 --> 00:23:08

stay away from investigating matters, if we were

00:23:08 --> 00:23:10

to stay away from spying on other people,

00:23:11 --> 00:23:12

if we were to stay away from creating

00:23:12 --> 00:23:14

hatred, if we were to stay away from

00:23:14 --> 00:23:17

cutting ties with each other, this one hadith

00:23:17 --> 00:23:20

is enough to change a whole entire society,

00:23:20 --> 00:23:22

enough to change a whole entire community.

00:23:24 --> 00:23:26

So we ask Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى to

00:23:26 --> 00:23:30

allow us to really understand the sunnah of

00:23:30 --> 00:23:33

the Prophet ﷺ beyond what we already understand,

00:23:33 --> 00:23:36

but to understand that we are brothers.

00:23:37 --> 00:23:38

We are all brothers.

00:23:39 --> 00:23:40

We are all like one body.

00:23:41 --> 00:23:44

We cutting each other's throats off, it's not

00:23:44 --> 00:23:46

gonna do anything to us.

00:23:46 --> 00:23:48

Let's stop judging other people.

00:23:49 --> 00:23:51

مَنْ لَا يَرْحَمْ لَا يُرْحَمْ A person who

00:23:51 --> 00:23:54

does not have mercy to others, Allah سُبْحَانَهُ

00:23:54 --> 00:23:56

وَ تَعَالَى will not have mercy towards him.

00:23:56 --> 00:23:58

Let's become merciful.

00:23:58 --> 00:23:59

Let's become forgiving.

00:23:59 --> 00:24:03

Let's become people who are not judgmental.

00:24:03 --> 00:24:06

Let's become people who are not spying, people

00:24:06 --> 00:24:08

who are not accusing, people who are not

00:24:08 --> 00:24:11

suspicious, people who are not hating, people who

00:24:11 --> 00:24:14

have clean hearts and they do not have

00:24:14 --> 00:24:16

anything in their hearts towards other people.

00:24:17 --> 00:24:20

These are the sunnahs that will create the

00:24:20 --> 00:24:24

unity that will allow us to hear or

00:24:24 --> 00:24:27

make our voices be heard all around the

00:24:27 --> 00:24:27

world.

00:24:27 --> 00:24:30

If we are united, there is no power

00:24:30 --> 00:24:32

in the world that will stop our voices.

00:24:33 --> 00:24:36

But if we are separated, our hearts have

00:24:36 --> 00:24:39

nafra and hatred towards each other, it does

00:24:39 --> 00:24:41

not matter how much we scream, nobody is

00:24:41 --> 00:24:42

going to hear it.

00:24:42 --> 00:24:43

May Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى give us the

00:24:43 --> 00:24:44

ability to understand.

00:24:45 --> 00:24:47

أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ لِي وَلَكُمْ وَلِسَائِرِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَاسْتَغْفِرُوا

00:24:47 --> 00:24:59

إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ Indeed,

00:24:59 --> 00:25:00

all praise is due to Allah.

00:25:00 --> 00:25:01

We praise Him and ask His help and

00:25:01 --> 00:25:02

ask His forgiveness.

00:25:02 --> 00:25:03

And we seek refuge in Allah from the

00:25:03 --> 00:25:04

evil of our souls and from the evil

00:25:04 --> 00:25:05

of our deeds.

00:25:05 --> 00:25:07

Whom Allah guides, no one can misguide him,

00:25:07 --> 00:25:08

and whom He guides, no one can guide

00:25:08 --> 00:25:08

him.

00:25:09 --> 00:25:09

And we bear witness that there is no

00:25:09 --> 00:25:11

god but Allah, alone, with no partner.

00:25:11 --> 00:25:13

And we bear witness that Muhammad is His

00:25:13 --> 00:25:14

servant and Messenger.

00:25:14 --> 00:25:16

Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى says in His Glorious

00:25:16 --> 00:25:17

Book after I seek refuge in Allah from

00:25:17 --> 00:25:20

the accursed Satan بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ فَمَنْ

00:25:20 --> 00:25:23

يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ

00:25:23 --> 00:25:26

ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ وَعَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ

00:25:26 --> 00:25:29

وَسَلَّمْ الْكَيِّسُ مَنْ دَانَ نَفْسَهُ وَعَمِلَ لِمَعْ بَعْضَ

00:25:29 --> 00:25:33

الْمَوْتِ وَالْعَاجِسُ مَنْ أَتْبَعَ نَفْسَهُ وَهَوَاهِ وَتَمَنَّ عَلَى

00:25:33 --> 00:25:36

اللَّهِ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهُ مَلَائِكَتَهُ يُسَلُّونَ عَلَى

00:25:36 --> 00:25:38

النَّبِيِّ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا

00:25:38 --> 00:25:41

تَسْلِمًا اللهم صلي على محمد كما صليت على

00:25:41 --> 00:25:44

إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد اللهم

00:25:44 --> 00:25:46

بارك على محمد كما باركت على إبراهيم وعلى

00:25:46 --> 00:25:49

آل إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد اللهم ربنا آتنا

00:25:49 --> 00:25:52

في الدنيا حسنة وفي الآخرة حسنة وقنا عذاب

00:25:52 --> 00:25:56

النار اللهم إنا نسألك الهدى والتقى والعفاف والغنى

00:25:56 --> 00:26:00

اللهم إنا نسألك علما نافعا ورزقا حلالا طيبا

00:26:00 --> 00:26:03

وعملا متقبلا اللهم يا ربنا أرنا الحق حقا

00:26:03 --> 00:26:08

وارزقنا التباعة وأرنا الباطل باتلا وارزقنا التنابة اللهم

00:26:08 --> 00:26:12

إجزا الإسلام والمسلمين في مشارق الأرض ومغاربها اللهم

00:26:12 --> 00:26:15

انسر إخواننا في فلسطين في غزة في بنغلديش

00:26:15 --> 00:26:19

في سودان في مشارق الأرض ومغاربها عباد الله

00:26:19 --> 00:26:23

إن الله يأمر بالعدل والإحسان ويتائد القربى وينهى

00:26:23 --> 00:26:26

من الفحشاء والمنكر والبغض يعيذكم لعلكم تذكرون ولذكر

00:29:07 --> 00:29:19

وملائكته

00:29:20 --> 00:29:31

00:32:21 --> 00:32:30

خلقنا الإنسان ونعلم ما توسوس به نفسه

00:32:30 --> 00:32:40

ونحن أقرب إليه من حبل الوريد إذ

00:32:40 --> 00:32:49

يتلقى المتلقيان عن اليمين وعن الشمال قعيد ما

00:32:49 --> 00:32:55

يلفظ من قول إلا لديه رقيب

00:32:55 --> 00:33:05

عتيد وجاءت

00:33:05 --> 00:33:13

سكرة الموت بالحق ذلك ما كنت منه

00:33:13 --> 00:33:20

تحيد ونفق في الصور ذلك يوم

00:33:20 --> 00:33:30

الوعيد وجاءت

00:33:30 --> 00:33:40

كل نفس بعها سائق وشهيد

00:33:40 --> 00:33:50

لقد كنت في غفلة من هذا فكشفنا

00:33:50 --> 00:33:57

هذا ما لديه عتيد
