			Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:14
			topic that we discussed in the hotbar yesterday was about the prophetic teaching where the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, Let me run the mineral mango fishery,
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:53
			do not belittle any act of goodness. This is such a wonderful motto, a slogan, an attitude, a
philosophy and ideology by which a person ought to live life. Do not belittle any act of goodness,
it may be a literal Act, in our estimation, but to the recipient of that act, it may mean the world
in the estimation of Allah subhanaw taala it may also mean what grants you salvation
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			and in the Hadees
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:47
			Imam Al Ghazali narrates it in his book here Aluma Deen, a man comes to the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam and says Ya rasool Allah He Alemany karamat in and Tefera Obeah or messenger of
Allah teach me words that would be of benefit to me. And the Prophet peace be upon him said to him,
let them have their own nominal marble fisheye. Do not belittle any act of goodness and also Imam
Muslim narrates the Hadith on the authority of Abuja, and in it he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
to him, let Iran nominal Margot vishay wallow until a haka big and Talia, do not belittle any of act
of goodness, even if it may be that you meet somebody, or your brother with a cheerful face. The
		
00:01:47 --> 00:02:38
			Prophet peace be upon him gave the example of a woman during one of the Israelites, she held a
profession that was not very good. She was a prostitute. And one day she will felt thirsty, she went
and she drank water from a well. And as she is coming out of the well, there was a dog hanging by
the well and the dog was panting. Yell hasn't been allowed push. So the woman felt sorry for the dog
went back in again, filled her shoes with water, came up and gave the dog water. And it said that
Allah subhanaw taala appreciated that ditch so much. So much so that Allah subhanaw taala forgave
her sins. Member when you compare the profession of that woman, very, very unknowable profession.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:03:05
			Yet when you compare it to the act of goodness, you say, but this really does not. They don't really
match. She did not like stablish a shelter for all the dogs in the city. She did not feed all the
dogs in the city, it was one time to one dog. But that's where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam says, let that run nominal, Margo vicia. Do not belittle any act of goodness,
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:58
			the same way that we do not belittle act of goodness, we should also never underestimate a sin or a
mistake or a poor choice. If this can lead to Paradise, unfortunately, that can also lead to our
demise. So do not belittle act of goodness, but also do not belittle any act of sin. And then
finally, what is that act of goodness, it could be that people are involved in backbiting, and you
choose not to partake in that. It could be checking up on somebody, I gave the story yesterday of a
brother who passed away he fell in the bathroom, as he was taking a shower and he was dead for four
days. And nobody knew about him. And he was dead dead for four days. And act of goodness with the
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:40
			pick up the phone and ask somebody, how are you doing? We haven't seen you in a while. That's an act
of goodness. An act of goodness would be checking up on people, especially the elderly nowadays with
the pandemic, giving them a call check in on them and seeing how are you doing? You hear the stories
about somebody who said that I was on my way to end my life. But then somebody gave me a call. And
they said why don't you come over and have tea. And just like that a random act of kindness. That
did not really mean much to the person was doing it. But it meant the world to the person who was
receiving it. And sometimes we don't even know about these things. And the final reminder, whenever
		
00:04:40 --> 00:05:00
			we speak about this act of goodness, please remember, we always begin by our immediate family
members. It's nice to be good. It's nice to be kind. But remember the people who should be the first
recipients of our goodness and kindness and generosity they ought to be
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:05
			Our families, hydrocodone, hydrocodone, Leah, Holly, the best amongst you.
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:37
			Are those who are best to date families. So even within our families, do not belittle any act of
goodness. The food was good. It smells good. You did very well. Your homework was excellent, masha
Allah who did this and Subhan Allah because it can really lift up the spirit of the of the people.
May Allah Subhana Allah make us amongst those who always do good and never belittle any act of
goodness Europa Alamy Salah Odyssey
