 وأقول في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكاريم المنزال وأقول قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهدي ولا أتأواله الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وأشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهدي سبيل وأشهد أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحسانين إلى يوم الدين أما بعد هذه السلسلة إن شاء الله تعالى أن نبدأ yesterday يبدأ every friday night and saturday night ليس لسن but rather a softening lecture the purpose behind it is that every day of this month of ramadan you can take benefits your iman can increase and it can bring you closer to Allah وعز وجل the days that you benefit from in these days today I want to speak about al-khashya an action of the heart to fear Allah وعز وجل the message صلى الله عليه وسلم he entered upon a young boy one day نبي الله محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم دخل على شابه the messenger entered onto a young boy وهو في الموت the boy was about to die he was on his death bed he was dying the messenger said to him كيف تجدك how do I find you what's your situation like how are you and then he said to him والله يا رسول الله إني أرجو الله I hope from Allah جنة and I hope from him وإني أخاف with you and I fear my sins I hope from Allah and I'm also scared of his punishment because of the sins and the shortcomings that I've come with then the messenger said to him لا يجتمعني these two are not found in a person في قلب عبدن in the heart of a slave في مثل هاد الموتن in this particular situation and his last moments إلا أعطاه الله ما يرجوه except Allah will give him what he wants Allah will give him what he's hoping for وآمنه من ما يخافه and Allah will give him safety from what he fears from no one has hope and fear simultaneously both of them except that Allah will give him what he hopes for and Allah will protect him from what he fears from brothers we need to be scared of Allah the best people the best of people were scared they were scared of Allah they were scared of his punishment Allah who said about the believers in the Quran الذين أعامنوا الله said about them والذين يذكرون الله قياما وقعودا وعلى جنوبهم الله says الذين وإذا ذكر الله وجلت قلوبهم وإذا تليت عليهم آياته زادتهم إيمانا وعلى ربهم يتوكلون وإذا تليت عليهم آياته when the verses of Allah is read on them and the verses are recited on them and they remember Allah وعز وجلا وجلت قلوبهم their hearts tremble they get scared they get nervous they get worried the disbelievers the criminals they don't الله said about them ثم قصت قلوبهم من بعد ذلك فهي كل حجارتي أو أشد قصوة الله said about the wrongdoers the criminals their hearts are like the stone the rock it's become قصوة darkened tainted they're not worried they're not concerned they're not scared they live this life as it goes by الله said about them والذين كفروا the disbelievers their situation is يأكلون ويتمتعون كما تأكلوا الأن عام والنار ومتولهم they eat they drink they enjoy themselves as it comes by don't care like in the believer it's scared he's scared of what the punishment of Allah and he's hopeful of what the paradise and the jannah of Allah عز وجلا I want to mention the virtue of khashya and the benefits that come with it the messenger he's companion عمار ابن ياسر one day he led a prayer عمار ابن ياسر he led a prayer and he's short in the prayer and when he's short in the prayer the people disliked what عمار ابن ياسر did they said the salah was too short why did he lead us a very short prayer and then he said to them ألم أتم الرقوع did I not complete the ruku'a was sujuda and the prostration the sujuda was it not complete did I not do what I should no they said you did and then he told them فإني قد دعوط الله I made a supplication in my prayer بدعاء in a supplication سمعته من رسول الله I heard this from the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and this is the dua he made اللهم بعلمك الغيب with your un with the unseen of the knowledge that you have Allah has the knowledge of the unseen وقدرتك على الخلق and your strength over the creation أحييلي give me life ما علمت الحياة خير اللي as long as living is good for me وتوفني أو الله take my life إذا علمت الوفاة خير اللي if dying is the best thing for me اللهم أو الله إني أسألك I ask you كلمة الإخلاص the word of testimony that I ask you لا إله إلا الله في الغضب والرضاء when I am angry and when I am happy والقصة في الغضاء والفقر and I ask you moderation when I am poor and when I have money people go overboard with money and some people go overboard when they have poverty and they are poor they go negligent towards Allah I ask you to give me moderation أو الله وخشيتك في الغيبي and I ask you to fear you in the unseen when no one can see me I am by myself I am alone behind closed doors in the dark room أو الله I ask you وخشيتك في الغيبي but I am scared of you when no one can see me والشهادة and when the people can see me أو الله I fear you وأسألك أو الله I ask you سبحانه وتعالى الرضا بالقدر but I am pleased with what you have destined for me what you have written for me I am pleased with it وأسألك أو الله I ask you نعيما لا ينفذ happiness that never ends وقرة عيني لا تنقطع and a continuous joy ولذة العيشي بعد الموت and a happy life after death ولذة النظري إلى وجهك and I ask you the joy and the opportunity of seeing your face أو الله the day of judgment وشوقا إلى لقائك and that you place in my heart the want and the desire to want to meet you وجعلنا أو الله make us who that and muhtadeen ones who are guiding and ones who guide others what I want from the دعاء was what وخشيتك في الغيبي والشهادة أو الله I ask you to place in my heart fear for you in private and in public he said this دعاء نبي الله محمد used to make this he used to beg Allah to give him khashya in private and public brothers do you know what the ayah means إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَالْإِحْسَانِ وَإِتَائِدِ الْقُرْبَةَ we all hear this verse right the imam says it on Friday correct what does it mean إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ the scholars they said it means that your private and your public affairs is the same إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ عدلي means justice justice in what that both of your actions are just they're fair privately and publicly well إِحْسَانِ it means what that you're more tough and strong and more behind closed doors than you are in public you know why the scholars they took from that ayah إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَالْإِحْسَانِ إِحْسَانِ means you're even even greater and better privately than publicly and some of the scholars they took from that because Husna is a person who's strong behind closed doors he's the one who deserves the day of judgment see Allah and he deserves for Allah عز وجل face to be seen by him brothers and I want to mention to you some examples of the khashya of the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم نبي اللهي محمد one day stood up and he gave a khutba he gave a khutba عليه صلى الله عليه وسلم and when he gave the khutba the Sahabi أناس من مالكين he said ما سمعت مثلها قط I never had a khutba like this ما سمعت مثلها قط I never had a khutba like this ever and from the things that he said was لو تعلمون ما أعلم if you all knew what I knew لو ضحكتم قليلا ولا بكيتم كثيرا you would have laughed very little and you would have cried a lot if you knew what I knew the messenger said this عليه السلام فغط أصحاب رسول الله عليه وسلم ووجوهاهم the companions straight away they covered their faces and they started to cry the noise filled up the masjid رضي الله تعالى عنهم عبد الله يبنو بوريدا I know it's very tough and it's a very strong story very strong very very strong story but I need to mention it because it has a very powerful lesson in it عبد الله يبنو بوريدا I mentioned a companion by the name of ماعز came to the messenger and he said إني قضلمت نفسي I have transgressed on myself by committing zina after marriage I committed zina the messenger said to him the man said and I want you to purify me from this wrong action that I did فرده the messenger said the man came back فلما كان من الغدي أتا the second day the man came back he said I committed zina after marriage I want you to purify me the messenger turned him back the second time he came back on the third day the messenger before he could come he had sent a companion to this man's family to find out if he's insane and they came back and they said he's sane he's not insane he's a sane man the messenger when he was informed of that the man came and the messenger commanded his companions to stone him and he was killed he was scared of the sin that he committed after he was killed the woman who he committed the zina with who was aware of what took place came to the messenger he said I want you to purify me from the action that I did he turned her away she said are you going to turn me away like you turned away the messenger turned her away she said I'm not lying I did commit zina I'm pregnant he then said to her go and give birth to the child she gave birth to the child after 9 months or so she came back she said he's the child she wrapped the child with a cloth and when the messenger came he said to her go and breastfeed this child for 2 years all of this he was trying to avoid doing anything to her after 2 years of breastfeeding she brought the boy or the child back with a bread in his hand and he could sit the messenger when he came and he entered upon the messenger when she came and entered upon the messenger the messenger slightly turned away from her she came in front of him she said here I am here's my child he can sit down and I breastfed him for 2 years as you told me now purify me the messenger then he done the capital punishment on her she was stoned to death and when she was Khalid when we were lead hit a stone on her head and that stone the blood that gushed hit the face of Khalid and so Khalid wiped this blood off and she insulted her the woman who committed zilahi insulted her the messenger said don't insult her فإنها تابت توبة this woman has repented her repentance لو قصمة على سبعين من أهل المدينة لو سعتهم that if it was divided among 70 families of the people of Medina she would outweigh their repentance I want to ask you a question brothers why would somebody want this to be done to them it's a big thing right capital punishment she her son or her child when she brought it with the bread in her hand she told the messenger do the capital punishment and she said ya Rasool Allah give the child to someone else the reason why these people done it is Allah was big in their eyes the crimes and the sins that they did the iman was too big for them to want to face Allah this is something you tend to see in the companions رضي الله تعالى عنه like in today committing zina going against Allah's command cheating no problem a person would commit zina after marriage and walk around even talk about it like nothing happened these people this is what it meant to them I want to mention the benefits that come from khashia the first thing is الهداية والصلاح the person becomes guided the person becomes guided and success comes from fearing Allah Allah says إنما يعمر مساجد الله the ones who fill the house of Allah the ones who would fill up the house of Allah is من آمنة بالله the one who believes in Allah واليوم الأخير and he believes in the day of judgment وأقام الصلاة and establish the prayer وآت الزكات and he gives the zakat ولم يخشى and he doesn't fear إلا الله اوني الله they are the guided ones the second benefit that having fear of Allah has is success success is for the ones who fear Allah anyone who obeys Allah and his messenger ويخشى الله ويتقل فأولائك they are the successful ones I'm going to tell you a story the story is not authentic so let's not mention it number three people like stories number three المغفرة والأجر الكبير the person will gain a lot of reward and forgiveness الله يقول إن الذين يخشون ربهم بالغيب the ones who fear Allah in the unseed they fear him privately الله يقول they have great reward let me tell you this story عبدالله من عمرين he said سمعت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عبدالله من عمرين he said I heard the messenger يحدث حديثة I heard the prophet say حديث one day a story عبدالله من عمرين he said حديثا لو لم أسمعه إلا مرة أو مرتيني حتى عدة سبعا or three or four or five or six or seven seven times I heard it from him I wouldn't have told you but I heard this from him so many times the messenger repeated the story so many times listened to the story سمعته رسول الله I heard him say كان الكفل من بني إصلاعيل a man was from the people of بني إصلاعيل and his name was called كفل his name was called what كفل he was from the people of بني إصلاعيل he was لا يتورعه he never failed الله تعالى every sin that came to his mind he would do it never cared the sin came to this man he wouldn't hesitate he would throw himself into it and he would do it فأتته إمراءة any woman came to him one day فأعضاها 60 دينارا he sat the woman he had 60 دينار فلما قعد منها ما قعد الرجولي when he sat in the position to fulfill the haram the woman started to cry and she started to shake tears came to her eyes watered and she cried heavily and then he said to her what is making you cry why are you crying like this have I coerced you in this action am I forcing you am I making you do it forcefully or are you doing it out of your will she said no it's not because you forced me but it's an action I've never done and this is something I've truly never committed it's a crime I've never done and what is making me do this is the money I need I only need the money that's all I'm doing it for فقر on poverty has made me reach this فقر and the man stood up and he left her and he walked away from her and then he said keep the money والله بي الله لا أعصي الله بعدها I will never disobey Allah after this day onwards فمات من ليلته died that same night فمات من ليلته died that night same night فأصبح مكتوبا on the front door of his house what was written on it was إن الله قد غافر للتهفلي الله has forgiven كفل كفل ألمام أحمد أريتن يزمسنا دا ترمذي أنذ من ربعي بن حراش إنه said قال عقبة نعمر لحذيفة من اليمان أنذ أصطوري ربعي بن حراش إنه said عقبة من عمر ستحذيفة من اليمان كلا يأتي أصطوري أهد from the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم أهد the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم السيد إن رجل أن حضره الموت أمان was on his deathbed he was about to die فلم يأسى من الحياتي he knew he couldn't live anymore sickness after sickness after sickness he realized his illness is severe and he's not going to live so he said to his children إذا أنا متو if I now die فجمعولي حطبا bring sticks together every one of you go together bring sticks make a fire ووقد فيه نارا حتى and throw my body in there until I turn into ashes hold onto the ashes and wait for a windy day when the windy day comes scatter my ashes into the air why? because if Allah brings me together فيعذبون الله وعز وجل عذابا لا يعذبوا أحد من العالمين الله is going to punish me a punishment that he will not punish me anyone like me I have committed too many crimes I have to get myself out of away from him الله all he has to say is كن في يكون nothing more nothing he has to be found but he doesn't need to be found كن في يكون be and it became الله asked a man من الذي حملك على ما صلعت what made you do what you did what was it that he said brothers one word خشيتك I was scared of you scholars they said that he did an act of كفر because he questioned whose ability questioned Allah's ability Allah said what made you do what you did and then he said خشيتك I was scared of you and then Allah said انت جنة it's a big thing to be scared of Allah big thing this man wanted to run away from Allah he was scared that is what took him to جنة that is what made him be from the what inhabitants of جنة it's a big thing brothers being scared of Allah brothers it's what's going to save you at the time in this world when you're in a state of loss problems have hit you when you call unto Allah Allah will listen your callah and your prayer and everything I'll give you a story and I'll conclude with that story ساليم ابن عبد الله he said my father عبد الله محمر he said I heard the messenger mention and say انطلق ثلاثة نفر من من كان قبلكم حتى أواهم المبيت حتى أواهم المبيت إلى غارن فدخلوا فلحدر السقرة من الجبال they were walking together and they got inside a cave when they got into the cave they wanted to sleep and relax فسدت عليهم الغار the cave locked on them inside a cave in the middle of nowhere no one knows they're in there who can help them so when they got locked the first ones they set each other فإنه لا ينجيكم من هذه السخرة إلا أنتدوا الله عز و جل بصالحة عمالكم today nothing is going to save you nothing unless you call unto Allah عز و جل with the best action that you ever did this is what's going to save you today that's the only thing no governments, no army no friends, no colleagues no neighbors, nothing only your actions today the first one said I'm going to start he said I had two parents a mother and a father I never used to give food to anyone before my mom and dad whenever I go and I bring the sheeps back and I get the milk I would make my mother and father drink I would give them the food whatever is left over from what my mother and father that's what I would give to my children and my family one day he said I came late for a jet to Humana Imania I found them both sleeping snoring I found my mother and what both of them were sleeping because when their parents reach a particular age brothers and they get old everything is based on their timing the mother she wants everything done at that time the body cannot handle anymore she's weak, fragile the father is the same, he's weak, fragile that's the time he wants it, that's the time it should be done for them so they waited, waited the parents and with hunger they slept the man he said for a jet to Humana Imania I found them both sleeping and I disliked and I disliked and I disliked I was disliked to give them milk and the milk to my children and my family before my my mother and father I didn't want to give anyone to anything the narration mentioned and my children were looking up at me and holding me from the leg and saying that can have those milk I was choosing not to give it to them I stood up next to my mother and father's head not wanting to wake them up as well I didn't want to tell my mother wake up, I brought the milk for you because right now they're snoring I waited until the feather came standing in front of them why am I standing there because when they wake up they don't have to we want milk and call me I'm ready there all night I'm standing on top of them brothers until the feather came until the feather came and he said I gave the milk to my mother and my father they both they drunk their two cups they drunk their two cups then I gave it to my children my family الله he said if I did this for your sake ففرج أننا ما نحن فيه take us out of this situation that we're in ففرج الله عنهم الله moved the rock and moved it slightly it moved slightly من حيث لا يستطيعون الخروج منه but they couldn't get out the second one the second one he said the second one said الله مكانت لي or I used to have I used to have a cousin there was a cousin of mine كانت أحب الناس إليه she was the most beloved woman to me I loved her so much فأردتها عن نفسها one day I wanted to do حرام with her فمتنعت مني she refused me he said go away what are you talking about حتى ألمت بها سنة من السنين years went by poverty stroke her no money no nothing she came to me فجاءتني she came to me at a time of weakness she asked me ومائة دينار 120 دينار I said to her no problem على أن تخلي بيني وبينك with the condition that we do حرام at the stage that she was in she said okay again when she when he sat in to do he came to do the حرام with her she said to him she said to him اتقلها ولا تفطل خاطمة إلا بأهلي في الله just the way she said him and do not fulfill your desires and that which wasn't for you just that word brothers at a time when the human حرام and the shaitan and the mindset of a man doesn't stop him at this moment she said to me في الله عز وجل don't do this the man what did he do he stood up from صرف to عنها straight when she said that word to me I stood up and I left the money with her I said keep the money it's yours اللهم ان كنتوا فعلتوا دياليكا if I did this for your sake no one else take us out of this situation he was scared because the third one he اللهم he said اني استأجرتوا اجراء this man was a businessman a man came to him he gave him his wealth he gave him sheep and goats and he told him look after it for me when the man left he took the goats and he looked after it after it and he gave him was a handful the man came back and this man took care of it and this man was away for too long and so he looked after it and it gave birth and it gave birth and more and more came from it years went by فمرت سنة من السنين years came and by the owner came and he said can you give me back my sheeps I just want what's mine he said give me back give me back what's mine فقلت الله I said to him كل ما ترى كل ما ترى all of this is yours all of this is yours and then he said don't mock me stop playing around with me he said everything you see is yours there is nothing mine all of this is yours and the man took everything and he didn't stop him اللهم اين كنتوا فعلتوا ذلك تغاه واجق the third man said oh Allah if I did this for your sake take us out of this situation and Allah opened the rock and all three of them went brothers these three if you look at their situation they were conscious of Allah no one knew their situation this is now the time they are talking about it life is like that rock it's going to block what's going to take you out of that situation is what what you did between you and who between you and Allah today's topic was الخشية anything which I have said that was wrong or incorrect it's from me and Shaytan and Allah his message are free from it سبحانك اللهم سبحانك اللهم
