 وَأَقُولُوا فِي القُرْآنِ مَا جَاءَتْ بِهِ اَيَاتُوهُ فَهُوَ الْكَارِيمُ الْمُنْزَالُوَ وَأَقُولُوا قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُوهُ وَالْمُصْطَافَ الْهَاديِ وَلَا أَتْ أَوَّالُوَ الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على عبد الله ورسوله نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين السلام وعليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته Welcome to another installment from Ramadan daily droplets where we take one particular benefit every single day that relates to the month of Ramadan and we share it with you when we look at the various aspects of it and the ways that we can benefit from it and our benefit that we'd like to share with you today is the statement of Allah عز وجل يا أيها الذين آمنوا ركعوا وسجدوا وعبدوا ربكم وفعلوا الخير لعلكم تفلحون or you who believe make ruku'a and sujud and worship your Lord and do good so that you might be successful Allah عز وجل tells us about worshipping him in the salah through the ruku'a the bowing the sujud the prostration and all of the other forms of ibadah and then Allah عز وجل singled out the doing of good and particularly the doing of good to other people being good for other people and doing good for other people being a source of good for other people وفعلوا الخير لعلكم تفلحون do good to others so that you might be successful الإمام السعدي رحم الله تعالى يسأل فلا طريق للفلاح السوى الإخلاصي في عبادة الخالق والسعي في نفع عبيده فمن وفق لذلك فله القدح المعلّ من السعادة والنجاح والفلاح الإمام السعدي رحم الله تعالى يسأل there is no way for a person to be successful remember Allah عز وجل said لعلكم تفلحون so you may be successful there is no way for a person to be successful except by sincerely worshipping the creator and striving to benefit the creation look at the beautiful way الإمام السعدي brought these two things together this ayah is about sincerely worshipping Allah and doing your best to benefit the creation be a benefit for them do good towards other people he said so whoever is given the success to do that this person will have القدح المعلّ they will have الحفظ الأوفر the greatest portion of happiness and النجاح success and الفلاح they'll win they'll be successful they will succeed and they will be truly happy when they sincerely worship Allah alone and they do their very very best to benefit and be a benefit towards other people and do good towards others and زيد منخالي الجهني he narrates from the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam the prophet sallallahu alaihi sallam he said منفطر صائمة كان له مثل أجره غير أنه لا ينقص من أجر الصائم شيء the hadith narrated by Imam al-Tirmidhi he said whoever gives the iftar to a fasting person he will have the like of their reward without their reward being decreased in anything without the reward of the fasting person being decreased in anything this is just one way from the multitude of ways in Ramadan that you can do good for other people to give someone food to break their fast and you get the reward of their fast but they don't lose the reward of their fasting in anything وفعل الخير لاعلكم تفلحون do good to others so that you may be successful and there is a hadith from Abi Huraira صحي مسلم من نفس عن مؤمن كربة كربة من كرب الدنيا نفس الله عنه كربة من كرب يوم القيامة ومن يسر على معسر يسر الله عليه في الدنيا والآخرة من who makes it easy for a believer who helps a believer out of a difficulty from the difficulties of this dunya الله will save that person from one of the hardships that are there on يوم القيامة and whoever makes it easy for a معسر therefore a person in debt whoever makes it easy and lets them go gives them time الله will make it easy for them in the dunya and in the آخرة ومن سترى مسلما سترى الله في الدنيا والآخرة and whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim الله will conceal his faults in the dunya and the آخرة والله في عون العبد ما كان العبد في عوني أخي and Allah will help a person to the extent that that person helps their brother سبحان الله وفعلوا الخيرا لعلكم to فلحون do good to other people this is how you are going to be successful your sincerity to Allah your ركوع, your سجول, your صلاة and you strive and you go out there to benefit and be good to other people Allah will help you to the extent in accordance with the extent to which you help your brothers and your sisters in Islam and there is a hadith of عبد الله ابن العاصر it's narrated in the Tabarani and others the message of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم he said إن لله عبادا اختصهم بالنعم لمنافع العباد يكرهم فيها ما بذلوها فإذا منعوها نزعها منهم فحولها إلى غيرهم there are servants that Allah has Allah has chosen for them to receive blessings so that they can benefit other people الله عز و جل has given them blessings it will be wealth whatever it might be Allah has given that to them for the purpose of benefiting other people helping out other people Allah عز و جل allows them to live this blessed and luxurious existence as long as they spend upon people and they use it to benefit other people and when they prevent the people from it Allah takes it away from them and Allah سبحانه وتعالى gives it to someone else سبحانه وتعالى that's the danger that ultimately all the wonderful things that you have Allah سبحانه وتعالى gave you these things for you to benefit from and for you to benefit other people with and when you stop benefiting other people with them perhaps Allah سبحانه وتعالى would take them away from you and give them to someone else and not only that but doing good to other people is a reason to be prevented from calamities there is a hadith of أبي أمامة and the hadith is narrated by طبراني and others in which the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said صناع المعروف تقيم صارع السوء وصادقة السر تطفئ غضب الرب وصلة الرحم تزيدوا في العمر he said that doing acts of goodness صناع المعروف acts of kindness prevent calamities evil things from happening calamities happening to you and secretly giving صدقة puts out the anger of the lord it extinguishes the anger of the lord and keeping ties with your relatives extends your life سبحان الله doing little small good actions it can prevent huge calamities from happening a small thing you do tiny thing you do you might not even think about it a very small good that you did to someone else a small act of kindness that you did to someone else could prevent a huge calamity from happening to you we know that the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said أفضل الأعمال يدخال الصرور على المؤمن كسوت عوراته أو أشبعته جوعته أو قضيت له حاجة the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said the best of deeds is to bring happiness to a believer by covering his aura by by giving him clothes to cover his aura or relieving him of his hunger and giving him food until his hunger is relieved or fulfilling a need that that person has أفضل الأعمال the best of actions you can do and look at this month of Ramadan how many opportunities are there for you to do good وفعل الخير على علكم تفلحوا do good to other people so you may be successful how many opportunities are there this Ramadan for you to do good and here we have a wonderful story and the story is a story related to الإمام الحسن البصري رحم الله تعالى that he sent out بعث قوما من أصحابه في قضاء حاجة حاجة للرجل he sent out some of his students or his companions to fulfill the needs of a particular man he had a need something that he needed and he sent them out for that وقال لهم مروا بثابت البناني فخذوه معكم he said pass by ثابت البناني the great narrator of Hadith رحمه الله تعالى and take him with you bring him along with you فأتوا ثابتا they came to Thabit فقال أنا معتاقف he said aminettikaf فرجعوا إلى الحسن they went back to Al-Hassan and informed him that Thabit says he's not gonna come because he's in itikaf ثابت he said say to him يا عمش أما تعلم أن مش في حاجة أخيك المسلم خير لك من حجة he said go and tell him don't you know that you going out walking out to fulfill the need of your brother Muslim is better for you than performing a Hajj فرجعوا إلى ثابت فترك اعتكافه وذهب معهم and then they went back to Thabit and he they told him and Thabit left his itikaf and he went out with him سبحان الله perhaps the goodness that you do for other people this month of Ramadan might be better for you even than the acts of worship that you were engaged in or some of the acts of worship voluntary acts of worship you might be engaged in so don't lose the opportunity this Ramadan to do good to other people وفعلوا الخير لاعلكم تفلحون
