 و أقول في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكاريم المنزال و أقول قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهدي و لا أتأوله الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل و أشدوا الله إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له نقول الحقه وهو يهدي السبيل و أشدوا أن محمد العبد هو رسوله صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد إن شاء الله تعالى في today's episode I want to speak about staying away from and avoiding سوء الظني بالمسلمين stay away from thinking bad about your Muslim brothers and sisters brothers and sisters one of the greatest things that Islam has done is that it's united people of different backgrounds different ethnic background you see a person from Pakistan and another person from Europe another person from the Middle East another person from China and they all have the same belief they are all Muslims الله تعالى he brought them together under that name and Islam became brothers even though they live in different places and they are from different parts of the world something connected them which is والرابطة الدينية the religion he brought them together it's united them and it is from the greatest رابط وأوثقوا الصلاة this is something very important brothers and sisters the علاقة الدينية أما الأخوة الإيمانية is stronger that bond that comes by way of religion is stronger and greater than any type of connection that can occur between two people نعم your own brother from the same dad and the same mom as you cannot be of the same level as your Muslim brother if your brother doesn't share the same faith as you and he's of a different faith and he's not a Muslim the Muslim brother is closer to you ولي ذلك إمر تيميس it's something very powerful رحمه الله he said in his kitab منهاد السنة النبوية the seventh volume page 55 he says القرابة الدينية أعظم من القرابة الطينية والقرب بين القلوب والأرواح أعظم من القربي بين الأبداني ببنوتيمية he says the relationship okay of religion is far greater than the relationship by your ethnic background pay attention يعني you and your brother come from the same mother what is stronger is the bond of religion why he mentions it here he says والقرب بين القلوب والأرواح because the hearts and the souls of people becoming connected is greater than what than their bodies being connected صح in this person you might share the same DNA you might share you might share the same biological genetics and etc but because you differ on the heart your heart are not the same والأرواح your souls are different your all different ideologies and different beliefs the distance is greater and that's what الله سبحانه وتعالى he gave us Islam and we're Muslims that being said brother and sisters if this person is your brother إنما المؤمنون اخوة is your brother don't have bad assumptions stay away from having bad assumptions regarding your Muslim brothers and that's what الله سبحانه وتعالى he mentioned the brotherhood and then he mentioned the concept of speculation and bad thoughts about your brothers look what Allah said Allah said إنما المؤمنون اخوة الله سبحانه وتعالى the believers are what they are brothers they are nothing but brothers to one another it's the same Surah if you carry on reading Allah talks about things that can harm that brotherhood Allah mentions it يعني يا إلدين آمنوا لا يسخل قوم من قوم العساء إن يكون خير منهم ولا نساء من نساء عساء إن يكون خير منهم ولا تلمزوا أنفسكم ولا تنابزوا بالقابل لا يعني يسلسموا الفصوخ بعد الإيمان وما لم يتوفأوا لأكم مباليمون الله mentions things that can harm that brotherhood for example don't mock one another and belittle one another الله talks about don't call each other names ولا تنابزوا بالقابل don't call yourselves names somebody doesn't like this name he's telling you stop it don't call me this name I don't like it and you carry on calling them this name he tells you I don't like you calling me يجب أن يساعدهم على مدينة ، لا تنبذوا بالألقاب ، هذا يعني الأشياء التي كانت تخبرتها قبل ذلك ، وإنها المؤمنون إخوة ، لأن when people belittle one another and when people ridicule one another and when people insult one another and when people and people give each other names that they don't like it harms إنها المؤمنون إخوة. وlater after that what God mentioned, he says يقول إذن أمنوك ، اجتانبوا كثيرا من الظنّي ، إنها بعد الظنّي إثمن. الله says stay oh you those of you who believe who share brotherhood by way of religion and faith and Eman. stay away from what stay away from speculation and assumption stay away from a lot of assumptions إنه بعد الظن إثن. هذا يظهر لنا أصدقائي. these are things that will harm our brotherhood. They will harm it and it will cause it problems. And what I want to focus here is a الظن مسي. أما سوء الظن. Having a suspicion in your heart with no evidence. بلا دليلن. No evidence. No proof. Nothing. But just mere speculations. This. I think this. I think that. I also think that. And I also think that. Stay away from that. I believe it stays away from all of that. Do you have proof for it? Yes. Go ahead. Then base on proofs. I think I assume he said that to me that day. And he also said that to me that day. A lot of us do that. We have that characteristics. It harms our relationship. و لذلك عمر ابن الخطاب رضي الله تعالى عنه. He mentioned something very powerful. He said لا تظنن بكلمة خرجت من مسلم شراء و أنت تجد لها في الخير محملة. عمر رضي الله عنه. عمر رضي الله عنه. He mentioned this in his تفسير. عمر رضي الله عنه. He says. لا تظنن. Do not think to yourself. بكلمة خرجت من ثم أخيكة. That came out of the mouth of your brother. أما من مسلم. A statement that came out of your brother's mouth or your sister's mouth. Don't think to yourself. شرن. Don't think to yourself that it's evil. Don't think to yourself. A statement that came out of your brother's mouth or your sister's mouth. Evil. ها. و أنت تجد لها خير محملة. و أنت تجد لها في الخير محملة. As long if they're sorry. Don't think evil of someone's statement. While there is a possibility of you interpreting in another good way. If there's a possibility of interpreting statement in a good way. Don't think bad of that person. Or don't think bad of that statement. و عمر هيا is saying is that whatever comes out of your brother's sister's mouth. Try your best to push it to the best of. يعني assumptions. Maybe he's tired. Maybe it came out wrong. He didn't intend that. Maybe. Maybe. As long as you can find that interpretation from what he's saying. A good interpretation. Take it to that interpretation. و أنت تجد لها في الخير محملة. And by the way brothers and sisters. The person who benefits from doing that. Number one is you yourself. For many reasons. You benefit from taking people's calm to the best of parts. You benefit from it. What do you benefit from it? Number one. The person doesn't stay a linger in your mind. A lot of people are stressed. Yeah. I know. I know what he meant. And this is what he meant. And all of it. If you say. What did he say that to you? And you know he meant that. It's all speculations. And you're thinking over it. And then so much. Brothers and sisters. How many relationships got destroyed? Based on just speculations. Both parties are thinking the worst of the other person. I've actually met two people who. They went their separate ways in terms of marriage. They're no longer married. And I you know. Out of curiosity. I just wanted to know what was the reason why they broke up. You know. To help them and to bring them together. And I realized. It was lack of communication. Both parties were taking each person's actions and movements and gestures in the worst interpretation. And we all together brothers and sisters. This is something very common amongst many of us. We have that in us. And for example. Someone will enter the room. And he will say السلام عليكم. And then someone will say. I know why he didn't want to shake our hands. Because he thinks it's better than me. I think it's better. He thinks it's better than me. That's why he didn't stick his hand out and give me سلام. He's got keep it in him. Arrogance. He's full of himself. Why are you thinking that way? Why don't you say maybe he did that because the people are too much. And he didn't. فل. يعني. It was appropriate for him to go through every single person to shake their hands. And that's why he gave سلام from the top. Or maybe he felt that there was a good conversation going on. And if he came he might interrupt it. Why is there all those possibilities you eliminated it? And you took the worst of those. Those. Those. Those interpretation. So remember this all the time. Rather سبحان الله. What you tend to find is some people they're sick. This is a marode by the way. It's a sickness of the heart. You say to them. I can never meant that. No you did. You meant it. Let's go on to that. Let's go on to that level now. It's become worse. It's not just سوء الظل. It's تقول. You're lying about me. I'm telling you I'm alive. I'm alive. I'm in this world. I'm breathing. I'm telling you I never meant that. You say no you did. So you know my heart better than I do. You know my motives and my intentions better than I do. غريب right? We're living in that time now. The people have gone worse than just سوء الظن. The speculation and assumption. They've gone as far as rejecting a person's عذر and their excuses. They don't accept it. What are they going to say to الله يوم القيامة when they get questioned and interrogated? أبي قلابه he said something very powerful. He's a student of Abdulhamid Abbas. He said إذا بلغك عن أخيك شيء if it reaches you something from your brother. تقره which you dislike. فلتمس له العذر. Look for excuses for him. As much as you can. فألم تجد. If you looked for excuses but you still can't find an excuse for him. فقلسي في نفسك. Say to yourself. لعل لأخي عذر. My brother probably has an excuse. لا أعلم which I don't know. Maybe has an excuse. I don't know it. You tried all your excuses. So this goes even further than the statement of عمر that I mentioned. عمر was what? As long as you can find an interpretation, a good interpretation. Try your best to take it to that interpretation. لكن أبي قلابه is saying if you can't find any عذر for them. You can't find any interpretation or excuse. Just say there is but I don't know it. And that's it's a rare commodity today. It's rare to find someone who has that quality. But Allah will give us all that quality where we can see our Muslim brothers and sisters in good light. In a good way. عبدالله بالمسعود رضي الله تعالى عنه. He mentioned something very powerful. المام البقاري نريت للمسكتاب أدم المفرد. عبدالله بالمسعود يسأل ما يزال المسروق منه يتظنى حتى يصير أعظم من السارقي. عبدالله بالمسعود يسأل A person ما يزال المسروق that the person who is stolen from he will remain entering into what يتظنى يعني A person something is stolen from him A person he's someone robbed something from him and then he starts to assume who may have done it so and so may have done it والله I think he did it when he came to me he wasn't smiling he probably يعني ما يزال المسروق منه يتظنى حتى يصير أعظم من السارقي until he becomes worse than the one who stole it يعني he is sitting there I think you know it's full end I know it's him no I can't be him but it's full end no not him as well you don't just realize you've done so over one of two people which is a sin already you're already on two now you're going to carry on even more the sin that you accumulate عبدالله بالمسعود it's saying it could probably be worse be worse than the person who stole from you يعني this is something we need to deeply think of and many people don't realize these brothers and sisters that you can turn from being the oppressed to becoming the oppressor it happens a lot sometimes people retaliate when things are done to them they were oppressed initially you were oppressed okay but the person comes and retaliates and fights back but guess what he does he becomes the oppressor now and he's oppressing the other person it's very important always have to remember brothers and sisters where you need to draw the line where you need to draw the line okay so here you someone took something from you someone stole but your mind is going around فليان فليان فليان you go over 40 people and you say I don't know and then finally you say I don't know who it is but you just thought about 40 different people 40 different people you suspected you did to them and غيبة and وقيع and نميمة regarding them and I think it's that person but this as well and this is a sign is all that is your suspicion and your speculations do you have any concrete evidence no you don't get away from it يوم القيامة that person will take their right from you that you've wronged بكر من عبدالله المزاني he said something and I'm going to conclude with his statement it's something very powerful he said he said stay away from a speech that if you get it right you're not going to get reward for it but if you get it wrong you get sin for it you get punished for it and that is thinking bad about your Muslim brother if you if this statement you said something about someone you got it right you don't get no reward for it it's no reward for you for this statement you just said but if you get it wrong you're going to be punished for it it's a sin so if you got it right you don't get rewarded for it so why say it and if you get it wrong you get punished for it and that is thinking bad about your Muslim brother so it's best to leave it and avoid it having bad assumptions of someone or a Muslim person a Muslim should stay away from it and avoid that إن شاء الله تعالى I'm going to stop there anything which I've said that was wrong incorrect is from me and Shaytan and Allah his messenger I'm going to free from it سبحانك اللهم بحمده أشهد والله إله إلا الله أستفدوك وأتوب إلي السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته how can you do a two second action right now that will give you a share of the reward of everything we're doing on this youtube channel simple like this video and click subscribe why it will allow youtube to recommend our videos to other users and imagine the huge amount of reward that could be waiting for you on the day of judgment if you did that with a sincere intention of spreading the Dean of Allah you'll be rewarded for every single person who benefits from one of our videos as a result of your like or subscribe that's an easy two second action that you definitely don't want to miss out on do it now click like and subscribe and don't forget to make that intention
