00:00:24 --> 00:00:28
			The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:37
			in a narration that a believer and me know hey you know Lena,
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
			a believer should be easygoing
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			not too tense.
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:51
			Lean on, and soft,
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			gentle.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:01:21
			These are two characteristics that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that I
believe we should have, he should be Hainan not intense, no fee will feel anxious around them, nor
should he feel anxious. It should be somewhat relaxed. Lay you know that he should be soft in
nature, not hard.
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:50
			And another duration. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in the LA Hippo riff piccoli
shake, that Allah subhanho wa Taala loves gentleness in everything. And anything that you do, you
should do it with gentleness. Now today, I want to speak about what the deen of Allah subhanho wa
Taala sees about our gentleness, not towards Muslims,
		
00:01:51 --> 00:02:56
			not towards disbelievers not to even human beings. But what the deen say is about gentleness towards
animals and the teachings of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that how a believer
should behave towards animals. If you look into the Quran, there are a number of sewers, which are
named after animals Surah Baqarah suit of the cow sudo TL Anna sudo of the cattle sudo and kabu
spider suta novel The B sorry, the ant and other other places in the Quran, where Allah subhanho wa
Taala mentions animals. So we understand from this, that the importance that the animals have
importance why because they are the creation of Allah subhanho wa Taala and this is why I lost lb
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:09
			Bella in this eternal Kalam, a terminal book mentions animals again and again. Sometimes you named a
surah after them sometimes it gives examples within the stories
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:17
			and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam 1400 years ago taught Miss Alma that they should have
chef, Mr. rathman with animals
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:31
			in the time or the message of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. The Sahaba came to the province of
law Solomon they said O Messenger of Allah days a camel and the camel has bolted away. The camel has
run away.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:36
			And we're concerned because obviously when camels become angry, they are very dangerous.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:43
			So the vor is on the line he was alum went into the garden in which the camel was
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:53
			and the camel saw the message of Allah Subhan Allah Allah He was alone, and the camel walked towards
the message of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:04:01
			After walking to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the camel placed its head on the shoulder
of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:12
			And the narrator mentioned I saw a drop a tear drop from the eye of the camel.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:22
			And then the Messenger of Allah called, he said, Who does this belong to? They said a youngster from
the Tsar. The Messenger of Allah said call him
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:31
			the youngster was called to the Prophet son Lola, and then he was Allah. And the Messenger of Allah
said, Your camel has complained to me.
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:52
			Your camel has complained to me that you overwork it. And you under feed it. Look at this some
harmala a camel in the line, the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam complained to the
rovers unless I'm doing turned around to say, Oh, it's just the camel.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:59
			Oh, it's just an animal. Actually the message of a loss. It's something very interesting to this
youngster.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:08
			He said, we should fit a law in that which Allah subhanho wa Taala has made you an owner.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:14
			We should fear a lie in that which Allah has made you an owner
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:32
			that even regard the animals, a loss subhanho wa Taala and the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam tells us to attain taqwa that we should fear Allah subhanaw taala. Why because they are
the creation of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:37
			And the interesting thing is this,
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:46
			if this if this is how we are supposed to behave towards animals,
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			which have no Akira,
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:59
			which on the day of judgment will all turn into dust, then how are we expected to behave towards
other human beings?
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:30
			On the day of judgment, the Messenger of Allah some of the lie that he was alum said that the
animals will be turned into desk. And when the believers who are destined for jahannam or the
disbelievers who were destined for jahannam will see the animals that it's finished. They've turned
into Deus. Yeah, late and he come to Torah. They will say to Allah, Oh Allah, only we wish today
that we could be turned into dust,
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			that we could be turned into dust.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:39
			So you can imagine this is brothers, you can imagine, on the day of judgment,
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			people
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46
			will be bought in front of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:07:02
			And Allah subhanho wa Taala will say, how many action Did you come with? And they will say, palenko,
Allah, this Salah, this FOSS, I did this, but they would have done the villa among other people.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:20
			And the Messenger of Allah told this youngster fear Allah, shouldn't we fear Allah in that which
Allah has made us owners? What if this is the approach that we have towards animals, then what about
on the Day of Judgment, when we have wronged other people
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:50
			what will be the outcome, so we take it very lightly. But there is a lesson in this. And another
occasion the border is on the line, he was saying to me sort of animal and the nourishment and he
mentioned la hecho. Ruby, but, but but then he la Hakka. Wahoo but he then hits back had begun to
touch its stomach, meaning he was starved.
		
00:07:52 --> 00:08:03
			He was starved. The barber is on the line. He was Southern became very upset when he saw this. And
the message of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Fear Allah.
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:30
			Fear Allah regarding these animals which don't speak. They can't complain in this dunya you can't
understand the language. He said fear Allah exactly the same words fear Allah. He doesn't just tell
him listen, you shouldn't do this. He said, No, Allah has a right upon this is a love creation is a
fear of Allah regarding these animals who cannot speak.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			Really interesting. I'll tell you why.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			This is regarding an animal.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:48
			You know, many, many individuals within society don't have a voice.
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:55
			Sometimes your wife doesn't really have a voice.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:09:07
			Sometimes your husband doesn't really have a voice. You've got the upper hand. And in most cases,
most cases, your children don't have a voice.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:25
			And what often happens is because they don't have a voice, they can't speak out. They too scared
your daughter was too scared. So you will take undue advantage of the fact that they are weak.
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:34
			And the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is telling the Sahaba to fear Allah in these
animals which can't speak.
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:48
			If that is the regarding those animals which have no accountability By Allah, they will turn into
dust on the Day of Judgment, the water by other human beings.
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:58
			The model is Allah Sallam said, when you ride it is a fare on law regarding these animals which
can't speak when you ride it, ride it in a good manner.
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:04
			Even when you write the animals,
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:30
			right in a good manner, and if you ever intend to eat it, then make sure that the job that you do,
the sacrifice that you do is in a good manner of one occasion and the message of Allah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam saw this person is a hobby. He had his one foot leaning on the animal that he was
about to sacrifice and the other and with the hand, he's sharpening the knife.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:32
			He sharpening the knife.
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:36
			So the walrus Allah sudden became enraged, and he said to him,
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:42
			is it Do you want to sacrifice the animal twice?
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:52
			Do you want to sacrifice the animal twice? One you're going to sacrifice it. The second is that it's
watching you.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:57
			Right in front of it, you are sharpening the blade.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:04
			You are terrorizing the animals to do you want to sacrifice the animal twice?
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:22
			Look how beautiful the teaching or the message of Allah 1400 years ago, that even when you
sacrifice, what was the last song said, Listen to this very carefully. The Messenger of Allah said,
Whatever you do, do it in a good manner.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:12:00
			Do it with excellence. Even if it means that when you are sacrificing the animal, you sacrifice the
animal in a good manner. La ilaha illAllah 1400 years ago, the message of Allah when people didn't
have rights MSU Allah gave animal rights. Well, my son naka de la Mata Lil alameen, we did not send
you besides a llama a mercy for mankind today, so harmala hamari forget about Muslim countries,
generally more generally.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:09
			Generally, Muslim countries, forget about animals. You'll be lucky if any human being has any
rights.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:21
			And if he doesn't belong to that country is very, very unlikely. 1400 years ago, the Baba Salah
saddam gave the animals rights.
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:25
			You know, this was 1400 years ago. Yeah.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:28
			In Europe,
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:37
			your this is serious. You can check it up yourself. In Europe. They were actually taking animals to
court.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:13:06
			You have entire books written on the fact that in Europe, animals were taken to court so the first
animal which was ever taken to court was in 1266, lasted until the 18th century, large parts of
Europe would take animals to court. So we add them a bit somebody it goes to court. Some of these
were church courts, and they were religious courts, they would bring witnesses in.
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:13
			They would give Listen, they would often give them even a lawyer so the donkey would have a lawyer.
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:25
			Sometimes they would end up being exiled sometimes they would be killed. But this was what was
happening in great swathes of Europe until the 18th century.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:49
			The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gave animals rights Why? Because the prophets
Allah didn't come because just a rough number for you and I he became a rock. I came as a Rama for
the entirety of humanity are not even tired of humanity. Actually Alhamdulillah Hello bill Allah me
you know alameen
		
00:13:51 --> 00:14:00
			Omar, Ursula K Illa. Allah mean, you know the best interpretation for this is everything besides
Allah,
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:02
			Allah
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:08
			or Praise be to Allah, the Lord of everything.
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:19
			oma or Sol Naka. Illa methylene alameen Oh Mohammed, we did not send you besides as a mercy upon
everything.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:44
			And you know how that manner mercy was manifested, you know, even some harm Allah. Even the animals
understood the mercy of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Upon occasion, as a
hobby. He was walking past and he saw a nest, and he saw a chick in the nest. And there's a hobby he
climbed up, he took the chick.
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:59
			And then he comes to the bar with someone while he was alone. And he has this chick condition of
large sleeves. He has this chick in his sleeve here. And he's got his chicken asleep. And the mother
bird
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:06
			comes and flies past him. And it comes in sits right in front of the previous lesson and it lies
down.
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:10
			Lie down.
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:19
			And then they complain to the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, or message of Allah.
This person took my chick.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:30
			Interesting. Have you ever had a bird Come and sit right in front of you? and lie down ever?
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:35
			No, because they know birds don't trust you an eye.
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:43
			They know that this guy is going to do some Hanky Panky some take me in lava and put me in his dish.
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			But even the birds
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:53
			knew that this was a court that justice was imminent.
		
00:15:55 --> 00:16:16
			And this is why when it came, it's set in front of in the Polish Allah so and then it laid down in
front of the message of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and then it complained to the Messenger
of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and the Messenger of Allah said to Sahabi he said, Give it
Schick back, he said, who has given this bird the cliff harm to give him his chick back?
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			So harmala
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:27
			1400 years ago, the Messenger of Allah taught us these
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			how to treat animals.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:39
			You all heard it and I've said it numerous times. The famous narration
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:42
			where there was a woman.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:53
			And then ration mentioned she was a loose woman. She liked to touch it, she liked to be touched. So
she liked to touch and she like to be touched.
		
00:16:54 --> 00:17:02
			So she went to a well, and she did and there was no bucket. So she went down, she drank the water,
she came back up.
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:13
			And then she looked around and she saw a dog which are lapping in some durations that the back of a
dress was wet, and they began to lap the back of a dress.
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:25
			So she said to herself, this dog is thirsty like I was, remember what kind of woman like to touch
and like to be touched.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:30
			So she descended back into the world.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:44
			She took off was filled a shoe with water held there between her teeth, and she came up, climbed up.
Then she went to this dog put up
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:47
			not just now Park
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:53
			and she took this water and she pulled it into the mouth of the dog.
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:56
			Allah loved
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:04
			the compassion of this woman so much upon a dog that Allah forgave her sins.
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:09
			And if Allah forgives you, you enter Jannah
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:13
			and this is why the other man say
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:18
			that if you want a lot to forgive you for a sin,
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:37
			then give water to those people who don't have water. Create a well the greatest way of getting
mugged for from Allah. If you ever wronged somebody and they've passed away, and you want Allah
subhana wa Taala to forgive you.
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:50
			Then they go well give water to those people who don't have water. Because if a lot can forgive a
woman who was a loose woman for giving water to a dog,
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:55
			then inshallah Allah subhanaw taala will also forgive you.
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:00
			And conversely, you have the other story
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:20
			of a woman who sparked a cat, starve the cat. She loved the cat up and she gave it nothing to eat
until the Messenger of Allah said it began to eat the insects. It would try to find moisture, it
would lick the dust.
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:23
			And this woman
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:39
			left the cat like this until the cat died. The message of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam several
regarding this woman that she was thrown into the fire of jahannam for being cruel to a cat.
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:43
			Now there's two lessons I want to take from this
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:51
			from all the hoopla. The first is Look how much writes that a lot gave the animals
		
00:19:54 --> 00:20:00
			and many of us come from places from countries from backgrounds that we don't know
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			care about animals.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:10
			You know, when I was in Pakistan when I was I was studying there, I remember you know how they would
beat the donkey.
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:16
			And he, and you come from the west, he said, how you beating a donkey in this manner.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:38
			Even the average individual who's a disbeliever in the West cares about animals. They care about
animals, they care about their dogs, and they care about their cats. And you have us 1400 years ago
that the message will not told us all the reasons I mentioned to you today
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:49
			about animals about animals complaining, there was a man in the time of the message of Allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he would work his camel very hard,
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:55
			working very hard. And then a time came, the camels became old.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:01
			And, and he wanted now because he could no longer work, he wanted to sacrifice it.
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:28
			So the message of Allah heard about it, to eat kangaroo meat is halaal is no problem with it. But
Matthew, Allah never liked the way he treated the animal. So it becomes old, and now he wants to
sacrifice it, the messenger will last called him and he became angry, he said, You ate the use of
this animal, you ate the use of this animal. And now we can no longer work, you want to sacrifice
it?
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:36
			The second and the very, very important lesson from the hautbois is this.
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:54
			And listen to this very carefully. All the examples I've given you, every time the Messenger of
Allah said fear Allah, favor Lion, the animal don't starve the animal, be kind to the animal forumla
meaning on the Day of Judgment, if you don't do that, Allah,
		
00:21:55 --> 00:22:03
			Allah will take revenge on the animals we have fear Allah regarding the animals which can't speak.
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:08
			If this is the rights that animals have,
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:12
			the what are the rights that human beings have?
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:16
			What are the rights that human beings have?
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:45
			A Loon. The message of Allah said, a zoo will amount to your man, comma, your work that you do in
this world. And you get away with it. So you go home. So just imagine, and this happens all the
time. You for 20 years, you've been going home, and you've been oppressing your wife, you've been
crushing your husband, you know, pressing your daughter law, you've been oppressing your children.
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:49
			And you got away with it.
		
00:22:52 --> 00:23:20
			Those people like the MSE, one law said, those animals which can't speak in this dunya they can't
speak. But by Allah By Allah, on the day of judgment, your hands will speak the same hands that you
did zoom with your hands you speak you know this from your tongue will speak on the Day of Judgment,
but it won't say what you want it to say. It will say what Allah wanted to say. It will say what you
did with it in this Boolean. That's what it will say.
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:32
			So you can get away with in this dunya 20 years, imagine 20 years, 10 years, five years, you would
zoom and you thought you got away with it.
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:40
			That's why Allah has the hereafter. So celebs can't get away with it, boom.
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:44
			That's why Allah has the Day of Judgment.
		
00:23:45 --> 00:24:06
			So no oferecer can get away. No Hitler, no Moody, no. zalim may be big or small, can get away on the
Day of Judgment. And this is why brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters, if alive is given so
many rights to the animals.
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:10
			Then what about other human beings?
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:18
			So we make God Allah subhanaw taala give us the ability to fulfill the rights of all those who are
rights upon us.
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:38
			We ask Allah Subhana Allah to make us amongst those who fit Allah in the rights of other
individuals, that if there's any shortcomings that we have the last month ALLAH forgive our
shortcomings that are lost pantalla keepers united in the dunya and reunited in genesis of those
