He is Allah's gift of mercy to the world and the stellar example of humanity. بارلي in the messenger of Allah you have a good example for those who hope in Allah Our Allah bestow upon us the purity of knowing and give us the rectification of the business between us and you in accordance with the book and the sunnah sustain us with honesty in our reliance upon you and with good opinion in your regard bestow upon us everything that will draw us nearer to yourself joined with good health in the two houses of this life and the next so we're still in the chapter of mujahada spiritual struggle spiritual effort أضع في العمل to get closer to Allah سبحانه وتعالى they say that a person doesn't complete the path until they have experienced being drawn to Allah magnetically like being pulled in the direction of Allah سبحانه وتعالى I mean it comes easy for you wake up in pleasure with Allah right you feel like you want to pray to feel like you want to fast all day okay this is perhaps a certain phase of a person's life but there will also have to be a phase if a person is going to be complete in their understanding of the way to Allah سبحانه وتعالى there has to be a time when it doesn't come that easy right when the nefs is heavy when the nefs is slow when you have to actually drag yourself push yourself convince yourself maybe outsmart your own ego right in order to do things that will bring health to your heart and here's the mujahada mujahada is the work disciplining the soul disciplining the ego holding oneself to those things that are not necessary pleasant doing what needs to be done struggling to get to Allah سبحانه وتعالى some of the أحديث that إمام النوة we will bring in this chapter الله يرحمه are about what mujahada is and some of them are encouraging you to or us to put in some mujahada put in some work in getting to Allah سبحانه وتعالى so again we'll do the senate again this week so so we're narrating the رياضة صادحين first from Dr. نور دين عيتف حفظة الله who narrates from the محدث عبد الله سراج الدين و also narrate it from الشيخ الدكتور محمد مطيع الحافظ حفظة الله who narrates from محمد أب الخير المداني عن عبد الله السكري عن عبد الرحمن الكزببي the grand son الحفيد عن مصدفة الرحمة عن الشيخ الشيخ الفقين عبد الظني النابوس عن النجم محمد الغزي عن والبه البدر الغزي عن شيخ الإسلام زكريا الانصاري رحمة الله عليه و رضي الله و عنه عن الحافظ الشيخ أحمد ابني حجق عن أبي إسحاق ابني إبراهيم التنوخي عن على الدين علي ابن العطا عن الإمام المحدث الفقين يحيا ابن شرف النووي who narrates with his chain are you you the Sahabi عبد الله ابني مسعود in the ninth hadith of the chapter and the 103rd hadith that we've read so far and we have a Salah so the Legislative so it وعد ميداً حول عشان الله وانه도 صدقاً. وقاءام السياسة جداً. حتى أمّاً عمليًا قد أمر. حتى أخذت المفيد أكثر بها بال Hannibal. فهي يُواجبه! ووالكامل يُواجبه أيضًا. أو يخبرون فيداً أيضًا نفس الختوج قلت ماذا ستفعل؟ قلت ماذا ستفعل؟ قلت ماذا ستفعل؟ لأنه يستمر لن يستطيع أن أحاوله سبحان الله حتى عبد الله إبن المسعود يجب أن يفعل مجاهده مع رسول الله سبحان الله وعليه وسلم ويضعه في العمل ويضعه في الوقت يجب أن يساعدك في المصطفة يجب أن يساعدك في العمل ويضعه في الوقت هذا سيساعدك قليلا سبحان الله ويجب أن يجب أن نرى سيد محمد العالم سبحان الله ويجب أن نرى all your worries go away ونرزقنا في المتن حديث عن رسول الله وعليه وسلم عن رسول الله وعليه وسلم who said يتبع المئة ثلاثة ثلاثة سيتبع المئة الثلاثة هذا يتبعه إلى رسول الله أهله وماله وعمل أو إلى الثلاثة أيضا يارجيره إثناني ويبقى واحد لذا ثلاثة سيتبعه his family his wealth and his works and two will go back and one is going to stay behind يارجيره أهله وماله ويبقى عمله his family and everything he had is going to go back where it came from after they dropped him off right at the bus stop to the akhirة and one thing is going to stay behind and that's his works so this is an encouragement for us to get busy and try to get some good works in try to do some good things just for Allah سبحانه وتعالى it's an investment in your retirement fund right someone wants to have like a cushy retirement well here it is because the works that you do sincerity for Allah سبحانه وتعالى and not for anyone else or anything else but because it's the right thing to do because it's a good thing to do and not ruining those actions by bringing wrong intentions in or doing it in a way that's not going to be accepted by Allah سبحانه وتعالى or doing it in a way that's going to bring harm to other people because we can ruin our good efforts we go to all this effort we do all of these things too bring something good to the community bring something good to the world or the neighborhood or people in our lives and then we ruin it by either not understanding how to do it right or hurting someone's feelings in the process making someone feel small in the process having intentions to show off or for recognition that's not going to be there for you when you get into the grave and that's one place we're going to get into and it can be you can have some good square footage in there or it could be tight so if you didn't like the place that you lived in in the dunya you could have like a bigger spot in the بارزخ if you like and it could be comfortable because when we do these good actions that are wholesome and good in and of themselves they are a comfort they're more anus for us in the grave you know and this is just smart this is why the believer is كيسون فتن intelligent and perspicacious and not a bag of كوتن and God inspire us and give us some sada some right and correct in the things that we choose to do the 11th حديث also from عبد الله إبني مسعود he said that the prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام said الجنة أقرب إذا أحبكم من شراك نعليه I'll know this one paradise is closer to one of you than the strap of his own shoe or a shoelace right which is pretty close جنة is that close it's that close because life is short or it's that close because you don't know when you're going to die حالا we make it home safely tonight and we live to make some وجهده for another day make an effort for another day it's that close but then it goes on to say before we get too excited وَنَا رُمِفْ بَدَادِكَ and the fire is just like that between the two and that's where your life is ultimately in the greater scheme of life you're between those two things so don't lose sight of that on the Thursday night class last week we brought a narration from إبني حجر الأسفلاني in which جريرو says to the prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام يا محمد live right as much as you want as long as you want but you're going to die right and know that you're going to die and be friend whoever you want but know that you're going to leave them you know so that's also what we're being told here you're between these two so make sure that you keep that ultimate end in mind the Muslim may do a good job of enjoying life right the Muslim may have a great time and do all types of interesting and exciting things masha'Allah but the believer knows that there's an ultimate there are ultimate ends that have to be accounted for it doesn't lose sight of them it doesn't throw themselves into the life of the dunya to the extent where they become and forgetful of what forgetful of Allah forgetful of the ultimate scheme of the universe but more importantly forgetful of themselves because if you forget yourself all of those other things are not going to come to pass because who are you harming at the end of the day at the end of the day you harm yourself and at the end of the day it's you standing and you can't get rid of yourself there's no way in the ultimate scheme of the universe and not in beyond the universe right because our reality goes beyond the known universe curve space and all of these different types of new ideas about quantum physics and so on look curve space actually only supports the muslim perception of reality right because what they're trying to say is that the universe is finite and that's a problem for believers maybe believers of western religions right because we all assume that the universe is finite it's not a problem for us if the universe is not infinite we never thought it was right so that doesn't ruin our sort of world view of faith the ultimate scheme of the universe you can't get rid of yourself you could disappear yourself vis a vis other people around you the community around you your family the people who know you but in the ultimate scheme of things you're right i might say that even if a person had themselves chopped up into little pieces and thrown into the four corners huh are the four wins as it were Allah will still put them all back together and stand them straight up on the day of judgment we return to Allah and we stand there so we don't lose sight of that that's what it means to be smart and that's what it means to be intelligent any other type of intelligence is less than that it's not at that level that is ultimate intelligence so you return back to yourself you return back to yourself and you have to get that straight what do they say in western medicine or classical medieval medicine or ancient medicine physician heal that self it's not a lot we can do for others right if we can't first get ourselves straight for all helpers all that hope is to get ourselves straight the twelfth حديث from was a servant of رسول الله عليه وسلم and among the people of the صفة أبو فيروس so he lived he had no home he was right one of the homeless of Medina and they camped out in a special spot in the masjid and ربيع used to spend his time serving رسول الله عليه وسلم he said كنت أبيت مع رسول الله عليه وسلم and another a narration from ربيع he said I would sleep on his doorstep and I could hear him in the middle of the night saying سبحان ربي العادة right and so on I'm reciting so one night so what do what's the difference so you will do and what do anybody know we know what we'll do is it's how to make the ritual ablution but what do with the فتحة on the wow is the water that will be used in the ablution so I would bring him the water for his ablution or any other needs that he had and he said to me right one night 70 ask me ربيع knew exactly what was going on here imagine if رسول الله عليه وسلم was in the interns to him says all right ask me anything you want so what's on your mind ربيع so I said أسألك مرافقة فتحة قاعدت في الجنة I ask you for your companionship in the jannah سبحانه وتعالى he said أول غير ردارك nothing else right not a tesla right not a summer home huh in the hamptons right he said just that huh he said who it back right that's all ربيع understands homeless understands the ultimate scheme in the universe Steve and hockey doesn't even understand this homeless and he understands where the priorities are you can't judge a person by their current situation because you don't know يعني أشقكت عن قلبه زي اول رسول الله لأخر صحاب he said oh رسول الله huh he just said أشعر والله إله إلا الله واشعر والله محمد رسول الله because he was afraid of the edge of my sword he said did you break open his heart and look inside ذا والله you don't know what's in a person's heart and you don't know who a person is only Allah knows who a person is and how many amazing incredible people that history would come to know and what period of life did they go through where they were مظمورين they were hidden to the people around them but Allah and who they were and Allah and who they would become no one knows right that's not something for us to worry about though because all we need to do is to be معروفين and to Allah we need to be known to Allah that's all we need but when it comes to judging others we have to be very very careful there was a man I believe that he was in Thales but he was originally from سقلية where's سقلية anybody Sicily he was someone who was very poor uninteresting to anyone went about his business no one knew anything bad about him and no one knew anything good about him and he died at the end of his life that's usually when you die right he died and they buried him and did all of this and they recovered what was left in his apartments right and they found these treatises that he'd been writing he was an Adam from the ألماء and he wrote some of the most insightful poems didactic poems in the knowledge of Islam and it was only after he was gone that they discovered who he was مباحة الأصلية is originally written by إبنو البن أسقلية and how many great scholars have written commentaries on the مباحة الأصلية who are them that's what I want and so the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says to ربيعه فأعيني على نفسك بكثرة it's sujood okay but just help me with yourself by making a lot of sujood here's what you want and I'm gonna do my best to make it happen but just help me out and be a person who makes a lot of sujood for ربيعه it was sujood and this advice will come in the next حديث from ثوبان also رضي الله وعينه sujood is one way of serving الله سبحانه وتعالى in a very important way and that's probably the target that you want to hit but have some secret between you and Allah have some private goodness good deed or عبادة that you do that nobody knows about but Allah سبحانه وتعالى knows about to make it special for Allah سبحانه وتعالى right if you want to get pulled along the path right that's a really good one who knows what that is you know one person gave water to a thirsty dog once and popped right into jannah for that so you don't know what's big and what's small in the eyes of Allah سبحانه وتعالى because we're not the judge and jury on the day of judgment maybe your maybe your maybe your your small small secret between you and Allah is that you'll never drop anything or leave any debris or anything like that in the masjid or that if you see some debris in the masjid you'll pick it up and that's the way you are for your entire life or that you'll never throw any trash on Allah's earth عباد الرحمن الذين يمشون على الأرض هنا who knows what it is or maybe it's that you have a secret تهجول or you have some type of many of the scholars you'll hear about them in the history of Islam that they would sneak out of their house in the middle of the night so that no one in the house would know what they do and they would go to a place like maybe I've read in some places a broken down building right that's just full of dirt and sand and debris and say this is where my soul actually belongs and pray ركعات there to Allah سبحانه وتعالى you know or some spot where you make كثرة to sujud in the earth where no one's made sujud before سبحان الله but have some type of secret between you and Allah سبحانه وتعالى then be part of the umma of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم because he said he's going to look out for his people right so be one of his people by being like him not dressing like him not gesturing like him not talking a great deal but the most important شميلة or شمائيل of the prophet عليه السلام or the شمائيل of his heart how he was internally that's what counts that's what's important don't get caught up with the دوار here because Allah سبحانه وتعالى says he's not concerned with the دوار here with the alpha and at the end of the day it's Allah's judgment that is important to us and that is the greatest king of the universe سبحانه وتعالى that's some serious like quantum physics going on here too oh no I shouldn't get a job at MIT شمائيل in the 13th حديث from Thawban also servants of رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول عليك بكثرة السجود فإنك ذاً تسجل لله سجدة إلا رثاك الله وبها الدرجة you're advised to make much prostration meaning many ركعات or if you have a chance to make سجدة of تلاوة while reciting the Qur'an or سجدة to شكر right there are the reasons to make سجود and كثرة to سجود though right is many ركعات فإنك ذاً تسجل you do not prostrate to Allah سبحانه وتعالى that in a prostration except that He raises you in a station وحط عنك بها خطيئة and drops from you a fault or a misdeq or a mistake or a sin and so on and I know I could use that سبحانه وتعالى number 14 from أبي صفوان عبد الله هبني بسرين الأسلامي رضي الله عنه that رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم سيد خير الناس من طالع عمره وحسنا عمله the best of people so who's the best of people who's the best one well رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم is going to tell us who the best of people is right the best of people are the ones who have a long life a long life and good actions that's the best of people so long as the good actions are going on if they're going to stop at any point it's probably better for life to stop at that point too right so so long as you've got good actions going on in your life however long it's going to be right to the end of the week in شاء الله شاء الله we make it to the end of the week and have some good actions there that's the best of people خير الناس and that's the معيار the criterion of رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم for business 730 we start did it at 7 okay so we'll continue on with حديث number 50 إن شاء الله عن أناسين رضي الله عنه قاد غادة عمي أناس سبنه ماذر رضي الله عنه عن قتالي بجرن فقال يا رسول الله رضي الله عنه أول قتالي قاد تلت المشركين so أناس says that his uncle also named أناس إبني أناس was not present at the battle of better he was absent at the battle of better and he said to the messenger عليه الصلاة والسلام I was absent in the first time you ever fought the idolaters and if الله gave me to the ability to be there for another fight against the idolaters idolaters I would show Allah exactly what I would do so now أناس إبني ماذر is ready to show improve as it were and when the day of أهد came the battle of أهد the muslims in كشفة what does that mean the battle lines of the muslims was became vulnerable okay either there was a gap where the enemy could come through maybe come straight to the heart of the muslim command صلى الله عليه وسلم سيد محمد which is actually what happened أدوحة is famous for that in كشاف السفوف right maybe it weakens or something like this the lines of battle but here they left themselves open at a particular moment فقالة and he said الله so the point is is that maybe some of the muslims soldiers were not where they needed to be at the battle of أهد so أناس إبني نظر he says Oh Allah I ask you to forgive me for what those people have done وَأَبْرَ أُولَيْكَ مِنْ مَا صَنَعَ هَا أُولَى and I am innocent from what they've what they have done meaning the idolaters and then he went forward clearly all by himself and he was stopped by and he said سعد he was confronted by the head of the answer and he said الجنة ورب الكعبتي من دوني أهد so he's coming and the leader of the answer is right there and he's going to go forward and he's going to fill he's going to fill this gap and confront the enemy as he's going through the head of the answer is right there the leader and he says I smell the fragrance of جنة from the direction of أهد and said فما استطعت يا رسول الله ما صنع I was not able to do what Anas did فقار أنس أنسون so and then we found him with more than 80 رونس from swords or places of being stabbed with a spear or hit with an arrow فوجدنا هو قد قتلة ومثل فيه المشريكون and we found him he had been killed and also mutilated by the idolaters and no one could identify his body except his sister who knew his fingertips سبحان الله that's some serious effort some serious مجاهده يا ربي الله أنسون and thereafter we thought that this verse was revealed for the sake of أنس في نظر من المؤمنين رجالون صدقوا معاهد الله علي from among the believers are men who were honest about what they promised to Allah سبحانه وتعالى he said if Allah lets me join in the fight against the idolaters I will show him what I've got and he was صادق and he did exactly what he said he was going to do and he followed through in a way in which there is no doubt the idolaters represented what torturing innocent people preventing people from having a spiritual relationship with their creator taking usury from people doing evil in society and what is this evil torturing people taking usury from people beating slaves and doing all of these types of things right their program was in a system that would eventually get rid of slavery all of these awful things is what they represented and that was the نظام or the system that they were trying to bring to there and where loss of life is occurring and you have a political authority sufficient force should be used to justify the use of sufficient force because there's no you can't justify the use of sufficient force without a proper political authority in place unless you're defending your own home I'll tell you then using sufficient force to put a stop to this is important and necessary where it is not something that entails the loss of life but it's still wrong in others standing up against that is incredibly important right and every situation has its dictates according to the criteria of Islamic law if we know and understand Islamic law properly we can see clearly what is needed or called for if the conditions are met and what is needed and called for if the conditions are not met to deal with different cases okay but if we don't understand this well then people make foolish and knuckleheaded decisions or courses of action but here from the believers are those who were honest were truthful about what they promised to Allah سبحانه وتعالى and of course right they say that it is about the showhead that of our head right they followed through but at every level there are people who are true there are people who are honest اللهم جعلنا منهم people who are true and honest about following up on what they say that they're going to do following up on their promise to Allah سبحانه وتعالى standing true by the principles of the Deen of Allah سبحانه وتعالى in the 16th حديث أبو مصرود رب تبني عمرنا انصاري رضي الله عنه هوسات لما نزلت آية السدقة كنا نحامل على لهورنا فجاء الرجل فتصدق بشيء كثير فقال مراعين وجاء الرجل آخر فتصدق بصاع فقال إن الله لغالي عن صاع هذا when the verse of giving in charity right that is a good Deed was revealed we would go out and carry things for others for pay and then give in charity we would go out and earn money just to go so we'd have something to give in charity one man would show up and he would give a whole lot of صدقة and people say would say by that one he's just showing off he just wants everybody to see how much he's giving سبحانه وتعالى and then another one would come up and he'd only give you know about so much okay and we would say that الله's got no need of that little amount that that person gave and the verse was revealed right and those who look critically at the ones who of the believers who give willingly of their charity and those who are only able to go out and maybe give as much as they are able to huh الله سبحانه وتعالى right has a special reward for them the verse of صدقة خد من أموارهم صدقة تطاهرهم take from their wealth or their assets a charity that will purify them then الله سبحانه وتعالى brings a recognition that adding on to that previous verse so for your science of the أسباب النزول the reasons for revelation this other verse comes and says that right to calibrate our understanding of the previous one is revealed by الله سبحانه وتعالى saying that no amount of صدقة is insignificant right this group shouldn't be criticized for what they're doing because we don't know their intention right and here the Sahaba are learning a lesson it's okay to be wrong the Sahabi is telling you about his own misstep his own mistake his own huh false right we learned and الله سبحانه وتعالى taught us and we were receptive to that learning and that understanding سبحان الله and that these are included no matter what it is they're able to do don't think it insignificant and don't think your own effort is insignificant in the 17th حديث from رضي الله وعنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فيما يروي عن الله تبارك وتعالى so we have a حديث قدسي huh قال الله سبحانه وتعالى says يا عبادي oh my slaves إني حرمت الظلم على نفسي I have made oppression and the wronging and abuse of others forbidden for my own self الله says meaning that any circumstance that Allah سبحانه وتعالى allows you to be in or puts you in even if it is the abuse and the oppression of others الله is not abusing you الله is not abusing you for two reasons first it's impossible for Allah to abuse you it's a lot of it's impossible for Allah to wrong you Allah never did bad by you why because the owner the sovereign does what he wants with his belongings and the universe the heavens and the earth and everything in between it belongs to Allah سبحانه وتعالى so whatever he does he said well I don't like this religion I'm gonna go find another religion okay right go find another religion can you go find another religion that's not even possible is not even possible to go find another religion إِنْ لَمْ تَبْضَى بِقَضَائِي فَخْرُجْ مِنْ تَقْتَسَمَائِي وَبْحَثَاً رَبْ بِنْ سَتْسِيْوَائَةَ if you don't like my decree then get out from under my sky and find a god other than me or a lord other than me it can't be done but second الله سبحانه وتعالى is just in what he does and he has rahma in everything that he does and he has a design and a wisdom in everything that he does and because we rely on him and we know what he is and we know who he is we know that the circumstances that he's put us in or that he's brought us through there is a design that is behind it and if we love Allah سبحانه وتعالى الله loves us and if we believe that Allah سبحانه وتعالى ultimately is doing right by us then Allah سبحانه وتعالى is ultimately doing right by us and gold doesn't shine unless it's touched by fire the diamonds is not going to glitter and glimmer or be expensive ghali and priceless unless it's crushed and then it becomes what it is and never ever think that you're the only one who ever suffered and you don't know what Allah has in store for you for you you can ask Allah why and you may or may not tell you you may or may not tell you but if you have يقين and you have strength in your faith if you have trust in Allah سبحانه وتعالى you already know the answer because he wants well for you you just have to get through it and you have to find the wherewithal to bring the patience to bear to use the brain that God gave you to figure out ways out and you will become more nimble and you will become more strong and you will become all the better and you know from your يقين and from your confidence and your literacy of islamic teachings that ها الله سبحانه وتعالى is taking you somewhere and you know that he's not going to give you a burden that you can't bear even though today it seems like you can't carry it that you might do what عبد الله يبني مسعود said وَهَمِمْتُوا بِسُوْئِنَ I almost did something really bad what was these what was really bad in the eyes of عبد الله يبني مسعود I almost sat down put down the burden وَأَدَعَهُ and left but Allah gave it to you you can bear it and don't step out because you can do it so sometimes we forget that's what ذكر is for to remind was ذكر remember remind a reminder because we forget these are the things that we forget these are the things that we forget and if you have الله on your tongue in the forefront of your مخ then you might remember when you need to remember most and it might carry you through but if we don't do our ذكر if we don't do our الكالر if we don't do our remembering or if we go to مجالس of remembrance and we forget why we're there then we're going to suffer later مجالد you have a program that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has you on this is a good حديث let's try to finish it before we get to the end of the lesson I like this one الله سبحانه وتعالى said I've made ذلم حرام for me and the slave that loves الله سبحانه وتعالى will follow that and try to be a refraction and to be a mirror of the سفات of الله سبحانه وتعالى in the way that's right for the created to mirror the goodness that can only come from one source which is الله سبحانه وتعالى and say that I've too made ذلم حرام for me just as Allah made it حرام for me and made it حرام for himself I will also make sure that I don't harm another person if I really want to be الله سبحانه وتعالى وجعلته بينكم حرامة and I've made it حرام between you in the ultimate ultimate scheme of the universe it's impossible for Allah سبحانه وتعالى to give them that's the metaphysical perspective on ذلم but what's the difference between an eternal infinite Creator and the finite creation we can حرام حرام one another and I've made it illegal forbidden from you من ناحية الشرع وجعلته بينكم حرامة فلا تغالمه if you call yourselves Muslims don't press other people don't wrong other people don't mess with other people don't take from the risk of other people don't curtail the well-being of other people if you call yourselves believers because everyone knows this حديث my slaves all of you are lost all of you can't find your way in the dark even in the middle of the broad sunlight of the midday afternoon all of you are lost unless I guide you فاستهدوني so ask me to guide you ask me how to it but you gotta ask you gotta know who to ask and you gotta know what you're doing when you're asking it can't be just through the فاتحة through the دعاء right it has to be I need this ya Allah I need this now and I know where to ask I'm asking you and Allah will take care of of you but on his time on his schedule because he's the one that runs the show and it's his show all of you are hungry all of you go hungry all of you are going to go hungry except the one that I feed if you get fed today Allah fed you and we forget eaten the power bar on the way to work masha Allah you know or you get that pain of hungry hunger and you stop and you grab something and now you're not hungry anymore good masha Allah you stay away from the ice cream right after a certain age after 30 don't eat ice cream right but uh huh but don't forget where it came from don't forget where it came from and then also remember that from huh the literacy of Islam that you can't appreciate Allah سبحانه وتعالى unless you appreciate the people that put the food on your table so it all goes together it all works as a whole فستتعيموني أدعيمكم ask me to feed you I feed you يا عبالي كلكم عارن إلا من كسوتو my slaves all of you are naked except for the one that I clothe there's a lot of different types of nakedness there's that nakedness where the person wants to go for a job interview and does not have anything appropriate to wear for that job interview and there's the nakedness of not having any of your life be my stool right or or not having privacy right that's also nakedness there's different types of nakedness سبحانه وتعالى all of you are naked except for the ones that I have clothe فستتكسوني أكسكم so ask for me to cover you right يا ستار right الله سبحانه وتعالى is the one who veils the faults of his slaves one sheikh used to say الحمد لله الذي ما جعله للذنوب رائحا كريها our praise is due to Allah who has not made for sins a foul odor because then we'd all be in trouble you have said time يا عباتي إنكم تخطيون بالليل والنهار وانا أغفر الظنوب جميعا my slaves يجب أن تخطيون المساعدة والساعدة كل night and all day وإذا أعتقدت أنك لا أخذت ذلك الثلاث night لا لا لا هذا هو أكثر ساعدة أعتقدت أنك أخذتها right أنك ساعدة سبحانه وتعالى لا يجب أن يعتقد وفي بعض الوقت نفعل أو بعضنا يفعل أعتقد أني أفعل جيد لذلك now I've got nothing left to do with my finger at other people and you know what they say in our country if you point a finger at somebody there's four more pointed back at you right yeah but this is where we have to be you're making mistakes you're making sins all night and all day and Allah says and I forgive all sins that's where we need to be is what I need from Allah and let my brother or my sister be where they need to be this is islamic theology to be wrapped up in what I need Allah to do for me and my mistakes that Allah سبحانه وتعالى knows to be wrapped up in one's own mistakes and not busy with someone else's mistakes that's christianity okay and now when y'all hear me saying that modern muslims are trying to make إسلام into Protestantism watch and now you know right it's not about islamic theology is not about being busy with other people's mistakes what did رسول الله وعليه وسلم جولل ومعز came and said يا رسول الله I mean I committed zinah right and the prophet turns away right and he says no no he tries to get in front of him I committed zinah right he said and maybe you kissed her he said no no no I committed zinah and he's trying to turn away he said well maybe maybe you maybe you just rubbed up against her he said no no no I committed zinah right and رسول الله is trying to turn away from me doesn't want my eyes to come and say this and then he says to my eyes أبيكة جنون are you crazy because if you're crazy رفيا تلاقى وامجد right you're not responsible to the point where some of our scholars said that it is the responsibility of a muslim judge to say to the person who's brought before him in a case of adultery or fornication huh maybe you kissed and that's all meaning just say you kissed her go right maybe this maybe you know less than that and then the judge is supposed to say أبيكة جنون are you crazy have you lost your mind so that the person can say you know what I think I lost my mind right why because the what's private is not our business the privacy of others we have privacy for any of you all who are with us on the group if you remember the piece that I sent out of the poetry of Imam Shafiq he says oh my eye speaking to his own eye know that other people have eyes huh preoccupy yourself with your business not other people's business that is islamic theology we would like to have a public space that's PG rated right that's our business we don't want a bunch of stuff in front of our kids let them be raised up with a little bit of innocence and purity if that's possible but we don't live in a world that is innocent or pure we don't tell me where is innocent and pure tell me one place don't say maca don't say madina tell me one place that is innocent and pure because if it's innocent and pure to your eyes there's someone else who's suffering from a lot of evil and a lot of hurt even maca and madina and I'll tell you stories so we don't live in a place that's innocent and pure but if anything our responsibilities do what we can to allow children to have a life and come up uh-huh safely knowing full well that there's many who won't and we're not going to be able to stop that but that's our responsibility right let us not fall short in that responsibility like so many others do but after that we're not people who make ourselves feel better by finding someone that we can look down on oh good someone just came in who's got darker skin than me now I'm the the light skin one yeah that's the light skin people you know we gotta watch out for these other people subhanallah it's uh what do you call it it's a spectrum if you can't see there are people who are dead to beauty there are people who whose hearts are dead their minds are dead they've got no eye of aesthetic and they it's so much beauty around them and they don't see it they don't understand it and that's why they're not art critics or maybe those are the people who go and become our critics right but the point is is that people have got no taste and they you know talk trash about food that healthy people know is like a really wonderful dish those people should not cook for me right or us you know so some people are dead and they shouldn't be fooled into thinking somehow they're superior that's a nox in the person if they're looking down on someone else and what we need to stop right look none of the massage in north america you know are really interested in working with me right so that's good so you all put yourself in a bad situation then I'll just speak my mind and if you don't like it don't invite me right but you gotta stop looking at the cars that people drive in the parking lot stop stop talking about cars that people drive stop judging other believers at your message at your islamic school there are people at the islamic schools in north america and I'm new here I'm just noticing what goes on who sit out and they're not making sure the kids get to their ride okay they're taking notes who drives up in this and who drives up in that and I think a lot of people here probably know exactly what I'm talking about and then they judge people and treat people according to what type of car they drive what type of car they were so they're not so they're not so they're not so they're not so they're not while they ever said them usually drive he usually drove a bugger a mule and now we are one of us wants to be caught dead riding on a mule okay that is not classy but it was good enough for us so they're not so the while they were said them قسوال was for special occasions right قسوال was for special occasions سبحان الله but he usually rode on بذر called that's not that's not sexy either right but سبحان الله later on despite the fact the the scholars of حديث would say that one of the reasons for not taking حديث from a person is if they gallop on a donkey right or a mule because did you ever see someone galloping on a donkey right or a mule they did this this it's not a good look right سبحان الله you know but if I had the صلاح and the تقوى and the righteousness of one of those students of knowledge from way back in خيرu كرون they galloped on a donkey I would be very happy right سبحان الله and that was my only problem I had to worry about but we need to stop judging people by the clothes that they wear if we're not smart enough to hear what someone is saying to hear who someone is then we're not smart enough to judge someone either سبحان الله people have a lot of people are very needy you know and maybe we need to address what we think it is we need to put ourselves up by putting other people down so let's finish this out and maybe we can pick up next time we come because we have to wind it down now الله يكفيكم He says الله سبحانه وتعالى so ask forgiveness from me and I'll forgive you سبحان الله يرع إبادي إنكم I would like to have a Mawla like this I would love to have a God like this I would love to worship someone like this this would inspire me to make a little bit of مجاهدة if the one that I was worshipping said this to me and it came in a chain of narration that I could be confident in it just so happens that that is the case الحمد لله you know what we should stop because I don't want to just go over this quickly you can't hurt Allah you'll never reach the point where you can hurt me الله says so that there's a lot to unpack there's a lot to think about الله يكفيكم أحسانا يليكو الله أحسان in your homes الله أحسان in your cars الله أحسان in your tank right الله gets you the extra distance and carry you all the way to where you need to get to with his pleasure and his contentment and a little bit of peace of heart and mind in your hearts and minds and the hearts and minds of your families الله give us enlightenment الله help us grow from these from these sessions that we have so that we go out stronger believers than when we came in more beloved to Allah سبحانه وتعالى because we have strong hearts and stronger minds right which is more important than many many other types of strengths الله bless us and bless you all and bless your your massage and this message and the people here يليكو الله وصب الله وعاله سيد محمد وعاله وصحبه وسبنه
