 اس کے حالاتوں اور بہتنا حادیثوں پر یہ بہت جو کھوٹا سکتے ہیں میں بھر ایک حادیث پر بھی شاہی ہے قرآنی حادیث کو رسول اللہ صلا اللہ تعالیٰیٰ و سلیم کے رسول اللہ تعالیٰ و سلیم نے رضی اللہ عارضی ہی بھی مجھے کی اپنے آپ کو مستقبل کرنے والی معلومت ہے وہ آپ کو آپ کو پر تک رہے ہوئی ہے جو اس جبار کیے جو ایک مرحزت پر کسی جانے سے will be give n a special share now you and i know that if you are at a busy airport o you are standing in a queue for something very important or you happen to be in a very very cramped up place where there are so many people even if it was something simple like a football match if you were to be singled out and brought to the front let's be honest how would you feel you would feel very very جسی بات کے جگہہ ہوتے ہیں جانتے ہیں مبار کے میں آتے ہیں آپ کیا آپ بہت مجھے رہتے ہیں آپ یہ کے نام کو سکتے ہیں کے لاتھی ہوں گی کی وجہ ہے کیا اس کو یہ дерев نہیں ہے لیکن میں یہ رہا ہوں گے لوگوں کو اڑا کیا بہت ن pity کے ساتھ جو یہ مبارہ ہے آپ کو ان میں بہت مینے لیکن آپ نے آپ کو another جانتے ہوگا میں یہ اللہ آنکی مجھے اگر آپ اپنے رسلہ ہوتے میں著انت کرتے ہو گئی ، کہ آپ کو کسی مصروری کسی ہے۔ آپ کو کسی دیکھے اور اپنی ہوتا ہے کہ یہ ایسی طرح جہاں ہوتا ہے کہ اللہ سبحانہ وتعالیہposition جو اپنے بھی آنکرانٹس n ان پرانی تخواہ کرے گا ، تھی کبھی دیکھنے کی زیادہ ہے۔ بالکل کیونکہ میں اپنی خواہ کو نہیں ہے ، اسی خواہ کے بے خواندہ ہے۔ کمرای سے آپ کو پرانی کو مصروری نہیں ہے۔ جو بکر آپیکی کھو نہیں ہے ، ہمیدẩئے کب آپ لوگوں کو ج provincial so he's picked out in a way that's clandestine and in this particular instance regarding the here after it's got to do with your deeds it's got to do with what you did while you were on earth to become a vip on the day of judgment so on that particular day they will be seven categories of people who will be called out in a beautiful way to say you are a vip almighty اللہ سبحانہ و آٹا آہلا سکتا ہے جب آپ آپ ربیہ جو آرام ہوتا ہے تفضیت آپ کو جو آپی قرارے میں کیا ہے وہ جو ہوتا ہے تھا اوہ اوہ ہے وہ جو اٹنی جو اٹنیسبید ہے یہ چاہتے ہیں۔ بہت interrogation سیم اندرسی پر کبھی ہوتا ہے ہوتا ہے۔ پہلے یہاں ہی لئے ہی کوئر اپنے دروانے کے لئے دو چی آپ کے حادیث ہے جو رسول اللہ سلالہ علیہ وسلم ہوجاتا ہے۔ جو انہوں کو اپرسپریشنوں کو ایک انداز کے سنے میں انہوں نے جب انداز کے لئے محمد ہوتا ہے ۔ جب آپ اپنے سن کو اپر کھایا ہے لیکن آپ اللہ نے اپر کھایا ہے Then کھانکرہ سیوہ لیکن سیوہ لیکن کمپلیٹلی لیے سوہ تیاری کیا تو مجھے یہ تاکہ ہے اللہ کو کھانکرہ کھانکرہ سیوہ لیکن کیا وہ ایک آپ کو مستعمل نہیں کیا اللہ سبحانہ وی ٹعالہ سوہی ہوتا ہے لہذا اس مرسلہ کے ساتھ سللہ اللہ علیہ وسلم کی اتنے بھی دیتے ہیں کہ سبعتن یو ضل لہو فی ظلیہی یو ملا ضل لا اِلا ضل لہو دوسرے بیٹے شاید کی 7 کتیگر ہے جو اللہ سوانے کی own شاید جانتے ہیں کہ سب ایک دوسرے بھی نہیں سب ہے۔ انہوں کے دوسرے بھتے ہیں کہ یہ سب کس شاید ہے جو میں پیانو سالیہ علیہ وسلم کے بیتا ہوں گے۔ جس جو ہم جس جانے گا یہ سب سے بیشتاد ہے ایک بیشتاد ہے اور کمفٹ جب یہ سب سے بیشتاد ہے کہ کچھ آپ کو مجھے گی جائے، میھے اللہ ہمارے ایک مجھے جنہوں کو مجھے گا اور میھے اللہ سبحانہ وی از مجھے کتے ہیں لیکن جب جانے ہمارے جانے کیا ہوتی ہے تو یہ اگر آپ ایسا آپ پر ایسا آپ کے حیاتان میں عرفہ سے گوکتے ہیں تو آپ کیا آپ کیا آپ یہ سب سے بھی جانے میں پیشتاد ہے کیا آپ the day, but the spirituality of the day the desperation the moment subhanallah that dua how badly we wanted to be accepted and so on imagine if we were granted a beautiful cool cool shaded place. How would we feel? So Allah ﷻ say these seventh I will call them out. They will be called out on this particular day. The first one. امام عادل ، now the reason why I start with this is because it's the beginning of the حدیث ، and the Prophetﷺ talks about a ruler or anyone in authority over anyone else and is just, just. Now when we say امام عادل ، primarily it refers to the leader of the nation the leader of the people who is just a person whom when he was sitting in a position of authority he did not abuse that power he did not misuse it in fact he was honest he was upright he was just he was fair he was balanced and subhanallah as a result of that Allah says you deserve a VIP status because when you were at the top you were so humble you were so honest may Allah subhanahu و تعالیہ not only grant us honest and beautiful leaders but may Allah make us from among those whenever we have authority even in our own little homes over a person or two or more or less we are people who are just be just at your workplace you may have authority in your masjid you may have authority in for example your home you may have some authority perhaps sometimes if you are traveling as a group you may be a person responsible and in charge do not abuse it make sure you realize how important it is to be just as a Muslim اللہ سبحانہ و تعالیہ would never give such a high status to a person had it been something minor or light or something small or easy to achieve when you are in authority make sure that you've done the best that you could while there bearing in mind that that authority will be taken away one day by اللہ سبحانہ و تعالیہ you cannot remain in authority forever even if you are a father in the home you have a certain sense of authority make sure you use it correctly don't do what your whims and fancies dictate but rather do what Allah سبحانہ و تعالیہ has asked you to do regarding your family members and your children let's move on then the حدیث says شابن نشاء في عبادت اللہ تعالیہ a young man or woman who grew up in the obedience of Allah during the days of their use when they were bubbling and bursting with energies they directed and channeled those energies into the obedience of Allah rather than anything sinful سبحان اللہ سبحان اللہ so as you're growing older and as you're becoming adolescent and you find yourself at a time when you feel like you are on top of the world in strength and you feel like you can do anything and beat anyone up you harness yourself you actually bring yourself within the obedience of Allah you utilize that energy in the obedience of Allah brothers and sisters from this we learn that the youth have a lot of energy they are energetic that energy needs to be channeled in the right direction if you are not going to use that energy in the right direction you will not be able to achieve the maximum from that particular age and stage of your life that will not come back سبحان اللہ there is an Arabic poem or a little couplet that makes mention of how a person would regret saying علا لیت الشبا با یعود يومن an old man is saying I wish that my youth could come back even for a day سبحان اللہ it's not going to happen because as you get older you realize you are no longer as strong as powerful as energetic as you used to be when you were young that is the plan of Allah اللہ اللہ اللہ دی خلقا کن من ضعفن ثم جعل من بعد ضعف قوہ ثم جعل من بعد قوة ضعف و شیبہ اللہ makes mention of it in the Quran he creates mankind in a condition of weakness from that he transforms it into a condition of strength and thereafter he returns it to a condition of weakness again and gray hair سبحان اللہ this is the gift of Allah so while you are in your peak make sure you use this age in a way that is the most beneficial if you have a thousand dollars for example and you are to start a business you would be foolish the first thing you do go call all your friends and have a meal say don't worry it's a thousand I don't mind I actually can take everyone out for a meal hang on you were given the money in order to start up a business start the business perhaps when you get a profit you might want to then call your friends for a meal etc you don't just start off by eating into your capital because you know your intention is there yes I do want to be charitable I do want to give but I cannot eat into this capital of mind this is why سبحان اللہ اللہ سبحانہ و تعالیٰ has kept the rules and regulations of zakat so fair so fair that the tools of a trade there is no zakat on because that's those are the tools of the trade how can I pay on the value of the tools through which I'm going to earn by which I will become charitable may Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ grant us a deep understanding so my brothers and sisters this hadith the Prophetﷺ says as you're growing older think about it think about your energies channel them in the right direction today we have the masjid make a little group of people get to the masjid when you get to the masjid don't just come and read your salah and walk off find out about the condition of the brothers and sisters who are there and perhaps others who may not have come find out why those who are sick and ill show concern you are a young man you are a young woman you have energies you have so much Allah has bestowed upon you you have a fresh mind insha Allah not contaminated by the will of Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ you can come up with some beautiful brilliant ideas share your thoughts your ideas they may not be considered always you know if we have a hundred youngsters and we are talking about how best we want to pack the eid packs for example for those in kaialisha for example and put a smile on the face of the orphans and the widows you might have twenty different ideas at the end of the day we have to choose one of those twenty don't become despondent because your idea was not chosen insha Allah another time it's impossible humanly to follow twenty different opinions for one thing we have to follow one and we have to discount the other nineteen even if they were good opinions may Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ help us share our views with the idea that they are just views they don't have to actually be adopted and may he never make us from those who become upset when our opinion was not the chosen one because there are others equally important they are also good people insha Allah they gave their views this is just a piece of advice a practical piece of advice so my brothers and sisters you come into the masjid it becomes a community affair it's no longer a personal thing it is a community affair you are concerned about the elderly you don't see someone you inquire about them you go and visit them you pay them a visit or a phone call to find out my brother I didn't see you today I hope you're okay he might tell you I am not well you make a dua for him you tell him we are praying for you this type of social cohesion is definitely stemming from the correct channeling of the energies of the youth that's what it would be we need to make sure that we as a community as an ummah we feel part of one another by channeling the energies today unfortunately and it's a reality people prefer to sit with a computer game with an ipad with a phone as old as they are playing little games that will not get you anywhere we get so excited with these games I'm not saying don't play them at all but you may want to make sure that you have balanced your timing you know I don't know why the older people are seeming to giving me an eye meaning seemingly giving me an eye but it's okay even if you're slightly older you might want to sometimes refresh your mind by seeing how the games work however we should not be spending more than a certain amount of time on things that don't have any benefit no benefit at all for the broader society broader community you can spend a little bit of time to refresh yourself and it should stop there thereafter you continue into real life things think of projects for those who are orphans for those who are destitute when we see beggars on the street I'm sure they wouldn't like to beg well I hope so but at the same time subhanallah we need to think of ways of alleviating their suffering have you ever sat with some of them to say what's your story they might have a story that's amazing and it might inspire you to do something small I know of some of these people who are homeless some of these homeless people back at home in Zimbabwe they call them street children because they don't have anywhere to go and I know of some who've been to school thereafter and they've come out big business men subhanallah how someone had a concern someone shared someone sponsored someone collected someone did and mashallah I bear witness that there are so many from amongst our youth who are participating as volunteers in so many of these activities may Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala make it a means of encouragement for the rest of us I mean so as we develop these energies that Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala has given us we will grow we become slightly older when we marry we make sure we marry correctly my brothers and sisters marriage determines the rest of your life and how it will pan out the choice you make for the person you want to live the rest of your life with needs to be very very wise it should not just be made spur of the moment subhanallah you need to think about it in advance are the qualities in this particular person I'd like as a father of my children or a mother of my children are they really there do they really fit that particular position that they are going to be holding in my heart and in my life because sometimes the decision we make regarding marriage can actually shatter the dreams that we may have had as a person just prior to marriage may Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala make it easy for us if you are a spouse please support your spouse in goodness in that which is in the obedience of Allah you are still young you are still included in the term youth so you are still growing may Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala make it easy for us we need to support one another as family members as brothers as sisters let's go out and solve problems not create problems every time there is an issue and a problem in society ask yourself have I been part of the problem or part of the solution the answer should always be one of two things either I'm a part of the solution or I haven't participated in it I haven't participated is better than being part of the problem Subhanallah for example you find a WhatsApp message doing its rounds you find for example nowadays people say things they put up things they have a status on Facebook on the internet etc they say things you need to ask yourself is this good or bad is it productive or counterproductive if it is productive then Alhamdulillah let me forward it let me make sure maximum people can benefit from it if it is counterproductive am I going to try and make it productive if it is a problem am I going to solve it am I going to try and insha Allah minimize it or am I going to just blow air into this fire and try and get the flames to the maximum if that is the case what we start doing is we start forwarding it we start creating bigger issues then is that a young man who grew up in the obedience of Allah is that a woman who grew up in the obedience of Allah we are busy getting excited because others are fighting that's not the sign of a good character person may Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ grant us the best of character so my brothers and sisters there is a lot that we could actually say regarding this particular category of people the youth who have grown up in the obedience of Allah wherever you have faltered go back and turn to Allah remember اُن فُسِهِم لَا تَقُنَطُومِرْ رَحْمَتِ اللَّهِ اِنَّ اللَّہِ يَغْفِرُ الزُّنُوبَ جَمِعَا اِنَّهُ وَالْغَفُورُ الْرَّحِیٰ say oh محمدﷺ to my worshipers who have transgressed against themselves never ever lose hope in the mercy of Allah for indeed Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ will forgive all your sins indeed he is most forgiving most merciful what a beautiful beautiful verse the hadith the prophetﷺ tells us something powerful in three words اَتَّا اِبُ مِنَ الْذَمْبِ کَمَلَّا ذَمْبَلَا the one who has sought forgiveness from a sin is equivalent to the person who did not commit the sin at all amazing what type of mercy these are the words of Rasool Allahﷺ so if you have done something that you are not proud of change it today seek the forgiveness of Allah promise Allah the day that I arrive on that day of judgment I would like to achieve this beauty and this shade forgive me Allah I know you will give it to me you are merciful oh Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ so this is something that we need to learn from we need to be hopeful in the mercy of Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ it doesn't mean that you had a false start so to speak for your race that you are suddenly disqualified completely because this is not just an Olympic race it is life Allah gives you countless chances for as long as you are alive Allah gives you countless chances for as long as you are alive so keep on going and keep on turning to Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ no matter what have hope in the mercy of Allah and Allah will open your doors start doing your good deed and I want to mention one more very interesting point before we move on to the next category and that is my brothers and sisters when we commit sin we commit sin privately we are embarrassed to show people what we are doing and in fact it is good that people do not commit sin openly because the mercy of Allah is more closely connected to a person who is ashamed of what he has done in terms of wrong than the one who is proud of his sin you know you go out and commit adultery and you post a video of it that's not a mu'min that's not a muslim right but a person who committed the adultery in private and is embarrassed and didn't want anyone to know there is a greater chance of Toba for that person than the one who is proud of the sin so when we commit sin we like to commit sin privately سبحان اللہ is that not true we don't want anyone to know I did something wrong I don't want anyone to know what I've done in order to combat that and in order to become a person close to Allah I encourage myself and yourselves to do some good deeds in a similar fashion do you know what that means hide some of your good deeds such that only you and Allah knows that you did this good deed no one else knows so if I have read the Quran say I read 10 Jews for example today I don't need to put it on Twitter Masha Allah I've just completed my 10 Jews Alhamdulillah and everyone says سبحان اللہ Alhamdulillah those 10 Jews you say to Allah nobody is going to know what I did for you you and me that's it we have a habit someone completes an entire mus'haf in the day and they put it up and they say wow this person finished the whole of the Quran through the day yes someone might have seeped or leaked that information however try consider what I'm saying try to hide some of your good deeds so that at least on the day of judgement when the bad deeds are seen to have been committed in secret there will be a whole host of good deeds that would also have been done in secret no one knew that you used to feed a certain poor person سبحان اللہ no one knew that you used to cry in the night every night no one knew you used to get up for tahajjud for example no one knew that you used to care for orphans no one knew that you were a person who visited the sickly now and again quietly on your own no one knew that that's good because now you have balanced something now you have a good deed where you know Allah knows and it's a secret imagine how that would be in your favor on the day of judgement when you know you have that smile and you are saying سبحان اللہ I know there's something I know Allah knows no one knows سبحان اللہ may Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ bless us all let's move on to some of the categories mentioned in this beautiful long hadith the prophetﷺ says this applies to the youth and even those post youth the hadith says the categories of 7 of the people who will be granted that shade 2 of them are those who loved each other for the sake of Allah alone they gathered for the sake of Allah they departed also in the sake of Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ we love you not because of your money not because of your authority not because of your popularity simply for the sake of Allah I may get a chance to tell that to you I may not get a chance to tell that to you so how is love for the sake of Allah let me tell you when you hear someone saying لائیلہ اللہ محمد الرسول اللہﷺ they should already be one level of love between you and them they should be that is love for the sake of Allah why this person shares the Shahada that I have the minute you feel the hatred in that there is something wrong with your own Shahada that is what it is there is something wrong with your own Shahada how can you hate others who لائیلہ اللہ محمد الرسول اللہﷺ even if they are making a mistake you dislike their mistake you dislike their error but you don't dislike the person you love them then you see someone coming into the masjid what are they trying to achieve they are trying to get closer to the same Allah you are trying to get close to so we are all going in the same direction when the world cup was here in Cape Town people started giving each other lifts to go to the venue because they didn't want a massing of vehicles there so they were all heading for the same match so we decided to create a lift club you know what I am talking about so in the same way we are all heading to Jannah let's create a lift club I help you you help me I love you you love me Mashallah I see you in the masjid I am so happy Mashallah you are reading Salah it doesn't mean that this uncle is taking so long in Sujood so he is a big show off no he is worshipping Allah you need to love him for that Subhan Allah a sister who is trying to wear a hijab and you see her on the street it doesn't mean you have to greet her and you have to make yourself known as a young man hey you know what I am available by the way that's not how it should be no you need to make dua for her without her knowing that you have made dua your heart needs to feel this connection for the sake of Allah that's my sister if you see any harm in her direction or if there is an opportunity to render any form of assistance for her you should be the first one before anyone else because you have a deep connection and she is trying very hard to dress appropriately at the time when it is not easy to dress so appropriately due to the Islamophobia across the entire globe so shouldn't it be a means of your happiness you smile Mashallah look at the sister look at the brother Mashallah they are trying so hard you see people reading the Quran you see someone giving a charity think good things about one another someone gives a charity don't say he is just boasting because he has got a lot of money those are negative thoughts they are not heavenly they are not divinely inspired thoughts they are thoughts that are actually coming and stemming from the evil of the devil and the evil of our own selves so let's protect ourselves from this this is why the hadith says if you really love one another for the sake of Allah سبحانہ و تعالی and obedience brings you together you deserve VIP status سبحان اللہ رجلان تحابہ في اللہ اجتمعہ علیہ و تفرقہ علیہ another quality another category of person رجلوں قلبہو معلقوں بالمساجد a man whose heart is hanging in the masjid in the case of the sisters it would be true that her heart would be hanging to the salah the next salah when is it going to be as soon as the time enters you fulfill your salah you deserve VIP status as soon as the time of prayer enters you drop everything you fulfill your salah you deserve a VIP status you can start today سبحان اللہ it's not difficult the hadith continues in fact the hadith says رجلوں دعتو امراتون ذاتو منصبین و جمال فقالا انی اخاف اللہ a person who is called a man who is called to sin and the same would apply to a woman who is called to adultery or phonication in a scenario where everything is facilitated the person calling you is extremely good looking extremely wealthy everything is facilitated and you only say I fear Allah I can't do this I can't do this مے اللہ سبحانہ و تعالیٰ strengthen us in the face of sin today's sin is available wholesale you are indeed a VIP if for the sake of Allah you can say I can't do this اللہ و اکبر when it's right in front of you nothing is stopping you your energies are trying to push you in that direction but your closeness to Allah makes you say you know what not me مے اللہ سبحانہ و تعالیٰ protect us from sin no matter what sin it is my brothers and sisters اللہ if you stay away from it for the sake of Allah you have contributed not only to your own closeness with Allah but to society and community cleansing it and insha Allah improving the values and moral standards of society and community مے اللہ سبحانہ و تعالیٰ grant us goodness I want to end with one last category رجل ذکر اللہ خالیٰ ففادت عیناہو a man or a woman who remembers Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ alone when you're alone you remembered Allah sometime you heard the verse of the Quran perhaps you saw one of the signs of Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ you pondered over your condition over the mercy of Allah and that made you cry if your eyes were filled with tears because of the love of Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ you deserve a VIP status Allah says we know we've seen we've watched sometimes your hair stands you get goose bumps you think of Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ my brothers and sisters I've spoken for half an hour I ask Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ to make us from those who can take home at least a single lesson and insha Allah we can improve ourselves all the qualities we have let them be divinely inspired let them be beautiful ask yourself it's not difficult how I think how I operate as a human being is it good or is it bad insha Allah every one of us has himself included there is room for improvement let us insha Allah seize the beautiful opportunity of the last ten nights of Ramadan to change ourselves to improve our relationships with those whom we live with to seek forgiveness from our parents our spouses our in-laws our children our brothers our sisters to kindle a relationship that is broken would definitely get you into جنہ تل فردوز if it was done with
