 ہمارے سے مہامطہ ہے کہ سحاب رضی اللہ عنہم کو سمجھنا ہے کہ وہ محمد صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے مجوہتی مجوہوں وہ مشریکین ساری کرنا تھا اور اسلام کے ساتھ ہی لئے اسلام کا سامنے سے پر پرکہ سمجھنا ہے۔ لہذا یہاں کہ اللہ سبحانہ و تعالیٰ ہی شرق کو حیرت اندرام کرنا ہے۔ ہی اہمچکا ہے تو کیا آپ کو کچھ کیا ہے کہ ہما کہ نا به تھا ہموں کہ ہمچکا میونہ۔ اللہ سے کہہا ہے ان اللہ ہے لایغفر ان یشراک بھی ویغفر مادون ذالک لمای ڈیشا اللہforestائیں پر مجھے جانتا ہے جب یا دیشاوش کو پر مجھے ان شرک ہے نشوک کو ایسزار اپیانٹنشاکت کرنے کے لہذا دیتا ہے لیکن وہ میرا کسی آجا سکتا ہے اور جب وہ وہ آپ کو広پ سے رکھا ہے ، ایک وحد کو واقعے پرخوش کرنے دیتی ہے ، اسی ہے. ولی قرار بھی کہا کہ khi اے شہرک کے لئے میں ایک آجا سکھیں اور کیوں چے جاننا آجا سکتے ہیں کہ سحاب ربالہ ، اللہ تعالیٰہ ، اور ان کے باقی میں مو مشریکین ہم ایک جو جو یہ نظر ایک اسی ان exactly شخص ہے کہ ہم جو آپ کو ایک کبا ن Greeks sees of this nature are connectivity the condition upon which you died so if you died upon condition that most comes in to applicator while you are alive not even if you committed share a lot will forgive you if you ask the forgiveness the mercy of VoLer Iso vast you will cry if you think about it Allah says that when you die if انٹڈ recovering دیں ان میں منت vais کمار مجھے م Victorian let کیہМы사를cano يخ év میں ڈین qui سیک دگو rag. انٹڈ، شیر کھ لئے ا Oops، میں کہتا ہوں کہ آپچھا جان نہ جانگ جاتا ہوںito ایک عمل یہ مدد قررت ہوسئن جانیا ایک بados ا پاس کے لئے شرک جانا پر sneakers two اپنے کے لئے آپ کو مجھے میکن اיט کامیمنٹ نعom طرح ہائے باتی اگر ایک اس فرم جان побی politiques تعلی م Пол مثل گھو الحول Carr줄ہتے ہیں ہے کہègیں ہمذا polsk laude جنا ہے ،arti آکن倒بت ہے حایہ جو کیا ہے ، 1956 تک exciting جہر ہے ، developers ۔ بات کیا اینا ب tryna کرنا ہے ہے جوachteس پر���کفہ نہیں ہے یہ indication ہے جو تھے doctor Position میں وہ ہمیں وہ ہمیں وہ جو火 سر مبنانین کے آ容 comment اندوں کو賽ل کرناک ہے جانے میں ایک الفپان not رسول اللہﷺ کہتے ہیں ، من تابہ تاب اللہ علیہی مجھے جانتے ہیں کیونکہ عربی جانتے ہیں ، تابہ کسی جانتے ہیں ، اللہ جانتے ہیں ، This means never doubt when you seek the forgiveness of اللہ that Allah has not forgiven you. Don't doubt that. Meaning don't doubt by thinking that Allah has not forgiven you. Don't ever doubt the forgiveness of Allah. No matter what you've done, if you were alive, you sought the forgiveness, then Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ will forgive you. Now this evening I want to go through a few examples of the concern of the صحاب رضی اللہ عنہم who were Muslim. Now they were Muslims and then they did a few wrong things. They were concerned. How that concern drove them to seeking the forgiveness of Allah. They were very lucky. Why were they lucky? They were lucky because they had the best of creation in their midst. They had revelation that used to come from the skies and Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ used to reveal to رسول اللہﷺ telling him I love Abu Bakr سبحانہ اللہ. I love Omar سبحانہ اللہ. Amazing. Omar is in Jannah. Abu Bakr is in Jannah. Rothman is in Jannah. They were so fortunate. Imagine if we were told that. I always think about it when I say ya Allah. You know we will we are not told that for reasons سبحانہ اللہ. For reasons may Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ grant us ease but still they were lucky because when they did something wrong they could go to the Prophetﷺ and say oh messenger we seek the forgiveness of Allah and we ask you to seek for us the forgiveness of Allah. So Allah says if the Prophetﷺ seeks forgiveness for someone Allah will forgive him unless unless he was an outright hypocrite like Allah says in the Qur'an a hypocrites a particular person from among them was Abdullah ابن او بی ابن سلول he pretended to be a muslim but he was not he used to spy he used to hurt the people he used to try to divide the muslims he used to want the muslims to turn away from Islam so Allah exposed him so many times and umar ابن خطاب رضی اللہ عنہو asked the Prophetﷺ can i beat him up can i execute him can i inflict harm on him on him and the Prophetﷺ used to say don't do that we don't want people later on to come and say محمد used to persecute his companions صلى اللہ علیہ وسلم we don't want that this is why even though he was a clear hypocrite the Prophetﷺ refused for anyone to harm him and then he died one day when he died the Prophetﷺ was called obviously to fulfill salatul janaza now i want to tell you something interesting about that particular time rasulullah صلى اللہ علیہ وسلم whenever there was a janaza to be fulfilled they used to they used to obviously want him to lead the janaza because the dua of the Prophetﷺ is not like yours at mind if he makes a dua it has a different value it's not like anyone else's so they would want him to come he would seek the forgiveness of Allah for this particular person who passed away and it would be a means of blessing that the Prophetﷺ made a dua for them but he used to ask a question you know what the question was he used to say does this person owe anyone anything if they said no he said if they said yes he would turn around walk away and say he says this man owes someone something you people do the janaza i'm going away this hadith shows us how severe and serious it is to be owing people things try and sort it out as soon as possible because even to borrow from someone it is a last resort in islam i hope we understand this we've spoken about it in the past when we borrow from people it should only be a last resort because i promise you if you die in a condition where you owe someone something and it was already owed you see there are two types of debts one is a debt where someone gave you time to pay for example a person says look i lend you a thousand you need it pay me after two years if you died after one year it's not your fault they take out the money they can give the person but if the the two years passed and they are following you then you pass away it's a problem the same applies to hajj my brothers my sisters let's listen to this people say i owe twenty thousand dollars still for my house how can i go for hajj my brother your house and your business a lot of the people who are absolute millionaires they owe huge amounts to the banks because you know what they have taken over draft today i don't want to speak about halal and haran we're talking of a reality on the ground and they will tell you i owe the bank so much money how can i go for hajj but they're driving the latest vehicles they're living in the top houses so let me explain to you two types of debts you have one where you owe it immediately people are following you because it's overdue if it is overdue you cannot go for hajj you must first pay your amount but if it is not overdue and you have been given twenty years to pay two years to pay five years to pay you make sure that you have enough that during the time of the hajj the amounts you will be owing have been covered how much electricity bill will be for so many months it will be covered what your water bill will be will be covered what your expenses and costs for food will be will be covered even though you owe two hundred thousand your hajj is still farad on you if you have that type of a debt where it's not immediately overdue or due i hope we understand this so if someone if i owe someone two hundred thousand when big business men do business a lot of the times they are owing through their whole life it doesn't mean that i don't go for hajj i need to ask myself is it current or is it a long term debt if it's long term for as long as the time i'm going to be away nobody's going to be searching for me and hunting for me nobody's going to be you know owed something during the time i should be going for hajj اللہ سبحانہ وطعالہ make it easy for us so going back to the prophet ﷺ he used to ask this question when the muslims became wealthy and baitul mal became so so filled with with wealth the coffers of the muslims were full you know what things changed a lot of people don't talk about this but things changed the prophet ﷺ says whoever left a debt i will pay it on his behalf سبحان اللہ so what has changed what changed is when there was someone to pay it on your behalf it was okay the prophet ﷺ would come and he would fulfill the janas it has happened where the prophet ﷺ says does he have does he owe anyone anything they said yes so as he's walking away one of the صحابہ رضی اللہ عنو says oh messenger i will pay that debt then he would walk back and do the janas this is how serious it was but when the muslims became wealthy in the muslim lands became very wealthy like i said the coffers were filled then what we call the ministry of finance today would actually pay the debt of everyone a few days ago i read an article in the paper where the amir of qawait this is a reality i'm just mentioning it just to show you that it does happen he made an announcement to say anyone who is jailed because they owe someone money we will pay that money for them and release them this was a few days ago you can read it in the papers it has happened so this goes to prove that from the beginning the prophet ﷺ's time that was the custom if the country is very wealthy a man who is in jail because he owes someone a little bit of money is not necessarily a huge criminal obviously each case needs to be studied but sometimes he must have gone through some problems some difficulty some issue something went wrong you know maybe a deal went sour etc so in that case look money is money if the the nation had it they would give it and this is what would happen to the muslim in now let's go back this man Abdullah ibn Ubayi the prophet ﷺ initially did not used to read only on those who owed people money then when this man passed away he was a hypocrite the prophet ﷺ he knew this that this man here he didn't owe anyone anything he came in the front and some of the companions had a slight bit of a question it's not called an objection because it's the prophet ﷺ but a question what's the question oh messenger you want to lead sallah janaza on this man but he was an open hypocrite outright you know how much damage and harm he did to islam and the muslims the prophet ﷺ says i will fulfill the janaza for as long as Allah does not stop me if Allah stops me i will walk away because revelation is life life meaning like the electricity is life revelation could come and go anytime so if Allah didn't stop me i'm fulfilling my duty i'm supposed to so he got up and he fulfilled the janaza and he sought he was obviously سبحان اللہ it was something big in the hearts of the sahabah because this man harmed islam so much that they felt the prophet ﷺ should not have been there then Allah revealed these verses seek forgiveness for them or don't seek forgiveness for them if you seek forgiveness for them 70 times Allah will never forgive them why because they were hypocrites they were they did not seek forgiveness now a very interesting question arises the prophet ﷺ received verses from Allah سبحان اللہ تعالیٰ regarding not making sallah on the hypocrites after that day so what happened اوھا آ کے ت hunger ٰ اگر تو اللہ سبحان اللہ تعالیٰ بھائیں پر کسی محمد صلى حسن وَالَا تُو سلِع علَا اَحْدٍ مِنْ هُمْ مَا تَعَبَدَوْ وَالَا تَقُمْ عَلَا قَبْرِ don't ever fulfill salahت costume on any one of the hypocrites and don't even stand at their grave sides now who were the hypocrites because now people would say that one's a hypocrite this اس کے one that one any small problem you got with someone you report him he's a hypocrite he's a hypocrite like what happens today a person has a problem with you and he knows that you might be an innocent person in something something to make your life difficult he reports you to this one to that one to that one this was not seen in the muslim umma before but today people have become cheap they want to harm you even in a way that you don't deserve not realizing that a lot will catch you you might run away in the دنیا for a little bit but Allah will get to you. Allah's noose is tied straight on your neck when he pulls a little bit you won't even know how to breathe. اللہ سبحانہ واتعالے قرانتا سیس. So that's what was the worry. So Allah solved the problem. Do you know what he did? He gave a list to محمد صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. Here's the hypocrites by name. One, two, three, four. All the list went down. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم knew who they were by name. Now something more interesting would happen. Every time the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم was not at a janaza the صحابہ رب اللہ علیہ وسلم used to say you see that guy was a hypocrite. You see. Are you following what I'm saying? Because now he had the list. Now there was a new issue. New started spreading amongst the صحابہ رب اللہ علیہ وسلم that there is one صحابی. The Prophet confided in him and told him یا حضیفہ. His name was حضیفہ ابن الیمان. He says حضیفہ ابن الیمان. I am telling you the list but don't tell the people the list. Now there was a reason for this right. Up to today we don't know the list because he didn't tell anyone. He said I couldn't tell. You know sometimes we hear a story and this is this is something on a lighter note right. You hear a story and they say you know this مولانا call the other مولانا and told him don't ever tell anyone this story and then he told him this. I have a question. How did the story come to you and me? That's a question because that means someone somewhere cheated because if that man told that man don't tell anyone then that man was a cheat because how did he tell the people for the story to come to me but this doesn't happen with the صحابہ رب اللہ علیہ وسلم عنہو. It never ever came to us. So امرب الخطاب رب اللہ علیہ وسلم was a mountain. You know that he was a mountain. The second most powerful person in Islam after the Prophet ﷺ. He was worried. He says I hope I'm not a hypocrite. Imagine with us. Have we ever thought hypocrisy may Allah forgive us. You know may Allah forgive ourselves. Don't lose hope in the mercy of Allah. Keep seeking the forgiveness of Allah. You will attain the mercy of Allah every day. Just seek the forgiveness of Allah. You will have a cool calm life. You must be convinced that I asked Allah's forgiveness. He has forgiven me. I'm clean. No matter what you've done. You must be convinced because that's the teaching of Rasulullah ﷺ. He says forget about your past. Forget about what you did. Forget about what you did earlier today. No. The fact that you are asking Oh Allah, I'm your worshipper. I cannot face punishment from you. Forgive me. I've done something wrong. I admit I was weak. I will not do it again. Allah says I forgive you. That's the whole idea of worship of Allah. So umarim الخطاب رضی اللہ وانہ is powerful as he was. He wanted to know. He says I want to ask you about the list. I need to know who's on the list. He says I can't tell you. He says no. Tell me. I need to know who's on the list. And then he says look I cannot inform you about who's on the list because I've told the Prophet ﷺ that I won't. He says okay. Minimum tell me is my name there. He says your name is not there. Subhanallah. Did you hear that? Minimum tell me is my name there. He says no. Your name is not there. So he didn't give him the list but from that we now know that umar خطاب was not a hypocrite. May Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala protect us because later on somewhere people would come and swear Abu Bakr and swear Umar and call him a hypocrite. Not realizing that there was a reason why years back he asked is my name on the list and it says his name was not on the list. Subhanallah. You follow? May Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala grant us goodness. So then the Prophet ﷺ do you know what he says according to one of the narrations the Prophet ﷺ says that I was sent as a mercy. Listen to this. I was sent as a mercy to all the creatures not just to mankind. I was sent as a mercy. Allah says if you seek forgiveness for them 70 times I will not forgive them. If I knew that by seeking forgiveness for them 71 times they were going to be forgiven. I was going to seek that forgiveness 71 times. But what was meant by the verse was that no matter how much you seek you cannot. Why? Why is it that the Prophet ﷺ is going to ask for forgiveness for these hypocrites and Allah says I won't forgive them. Why? There is a reason. Let me explain the reason. It is the same reason that Allah told Ibrahim ﷺ that your father don't seek forgiveness for him but now why? Because he was an enemy of Allah. He chose his path. Now let me explain it to you with a powerful example that is simple but it will bring it to your mind. You have a child. If your child does something wrong at school. They did it once. They did it twice. They did it three times and the school expels your child or suspends them. Right. If the child says dad I'm sorry. I really regret. I really feel it's bad what I did and I want to go back to the school. You can take your child to the school and you will tell the headmaster that you know what my child is apologizing. My child is apologizing. In that case the headmaster might say okay look you know what no problem let's take him back. Right. But what if the child does not apologize. The child did not want it. The child says I was right and if you send me back I'm going to do the same thing again. Then no matter how much the father cries to the headmaster the headmaster will say you're a fool. You are seeking forgiveness for a child who doesn't want that forgiveness. They chose something else. They are telling you you are wrong if we bring them back they're going to do it again. We are we would be foolish to take them back because the remorse needs to come from the criminal himself. You follow. So Allah says if a person died on kufr they chose that life. Why should you interfere between me and him now by saying Allah forgive them. Allah says you wasting your time because they did not want the forgiveness you are asking them for. They chose a different deal. They chose a different life. They chose a different system. They did whatever was wrong and considered it right and after they are gone and the test is over you want us to give you back their test papers to say right you fulfill here and we're going to listen to you. No way. That's not how it's going to happen. Allah says the kufr leave them. It's between me and them now. You don't have to ask for forgiveness for them. Some people say why does Islam not allow me to seek the forgiveness of someone who was not a Muslim who passed away who was a relative of mine. That's because they don't want your forgiveness. They never ever wanted it during their lifetime. Why do you want to offer it to them when they still don't want it. They've died and they chose something totally different. Leave them to their beliefs and to their maker. He will deal with them. That is the explanation. It's not unjust. It's not unfair. It's fair. They chose the path. So the minute you know I give you one example. A certain brother passed away suddenly with a heart attack a few months ago or a month ago and I used to know this brother and I wanted to seek his forgiveness from Allah and someone told me this brother was not a Muslim. I said no on his WhatsApp status. He had a key and it says the door to Jannah is Salah and he had a person in sujood on that particular WhatsApp status for that reason. I will consider him a Muslim and I will ask Allah for give him because there is a sign that he was a Muslim. Do you get what I'm saying. We don't want to remove them from Islam but I said oh Allah forgive this brother and give him Jannah to those because there is a sign he was a Muslim. If there was no sign whatsoever and you knew for a fact that this person died outside the fold of Islam then perhaps you leave it between them and Allah. You don't need to interfere now. ربوں و عبدوں meaning it's Allah and his worshipper his slave on one hand if you're a believer and if it's someone else it's Allah and his creature. Allah made him let him sort that matter up. So these are some of the lessons we learn from the lives of the Sahabah رضی اللہ تعالیٰ حنون beautiful powerful lessons. I want to end with one more. One more. You know there was a battle that took place known as the battle of Tabuk. That battle of Tabuk there was an announcement made that every able male should go out. Whoever doesn't is a hypocrite or if you have an excuse it's okay but if you don't that's it. So there were people who stayed behind some people were encouraged by their friends to stay behind and so on. The Prophet ﷺ was not really too worried about the hypocrites because a hypocrite even if he came out with you he would his actions would actually cause more harm to you than anyone else. Sometimes it's better to have a guy who doesn't know much away. When I say no doesn't know much. I'm talking of say your workplace. You have three people you need to go and sort a problem out. Now one guy really doesn't know anything at all. You rather leave him out than for him to come and make a mistake here. You see. So the same applies when it comes to the deal. Such an important thing like the grass word Tabuk the battle of Tabuk. Let's take with us the best of our men. Subhan Allah. So when Allah puts it in the heart don't go. There's a problem. However, there were three people who did not go because of laziness. What was laziness? They said we are going to prepare tomorrow. We'll prepare. We'll prepare. We'll see. We'll do. One guy was busy with his business. The other guy was busy with something else. A third was busy with something else. And in the process the army proceeded. They were left behind. They stayed behind and you know what happened. What happened is they really regretted it so much so much that they cried about their absence in Tabuk. The Prophetﷺ asked about them and Allah revealed verses to say don't talk to them. They were regretting and for 50 days no one spoke to them. Minimal within a limit after that it became worse and worse. And after 50 days according to the narrations Allah sent down verses saying We have forgiven those three. Now why am I raising this because my brothers, my sisters when I commit a sin. When my laziness makes me delay my Salah to the degree that I missed it. Astaghfirullah may that not happen. Do I or am I prepared to be pushed into a corner until I'm really thrilled to earn the forgiveness of Allah. I'm not even sometimes conscious of the fact that I sought the forgiveness of Allah. And these people for 50 days the Prophetﷺ went to their wives and told them separate from these people. I've been instructed other people would have left the deal. Wallahi the messengers came from the Christians to them to say look you people are being boycotted. We are welcoming you here. That was a test for them. So the point I want to raise and I want to end on it is Allah will test you with what? With sin. What does that mean? Allah will test you with sin to see if you have committed it. How quickly are you going to go back? And what are you prepared to do to start making a good relationship with Allah after that sin. می اللہ سبحانہ و تعالیٰ help us. می اللہ make us from those really who can work to please Allah. You know matter what sin you have done. Allah will forgive you on condition that you are serious about your relationship with Allah. And trust me you will smile all the way all the way. سبحانہ اللہ می اللہ سبحانہ و تعالیٰ bless us all. اقولوا قولیٰ هذا و صل اللہ وسلم و بارکہ علا نبینا محمد. سبحانہ اللہ و بحمده سبحانکہ اللہ و بحمدک نشہدوا اللہ علیٰ اللہ.
