 We are continuing on the 10 characteristics of people of paradise and the people of success in the world and hereafter. Today, inshallah, we'll talk about two characteristics that are very essential. The fifth century reminds us about these beautiful ethics that we can embody in our lives in order to be successful in the dunya and in the Akhara. He says, with the creation, with human being, with the general public, be fair. Fairness and justice is really at the foundation of Islam and just being fair to everyone, not just to the people that you love and you care about, but being fair to everyone. This is why the beautiful hadith that the seven categories of people that will be under the shade of God on the day that there's no shade. One is a sultan that is a adhan that a just ruler, someone who's just and fair to the people that he is ruling. And this is why that's a high maqam to be a person of justice and fairness. And well, one of the things that in the societies when societies breaks down is when merchants and when cooperation become unfair, and they start cheating in people. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, he said, a target of a merchant that is that is trustworthy. And he's, he's not a cheat, he's so that he's a mean. He said, with the prophets and with the truthful and with the martyrs. This is the rank of a trustworthy and honest merchant. Look at the rank of him that he they will be with the prophets and with the city and we talked about the city in the first session, that that's one of the highest maqam to have this is why Abu Bakr. Siddiq is the greatest, the best of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala creation after all of the prophets. His highest maqam is is that we can achieve is to be a Siddiq. So these merchants who are trustworthy who are honest, they will be because with the prophets and with the Siddiq and with the martyrs because this is the importance of being fair to the to the creation to Allah's creation to everyone. And this is why merchants are dealing with everybody every day with the community. So if the merchants are dishonest, then the whole society will break down. And so the next thing that he says he said, with the scholars be humble, be respectful and honorable. This is what it means when you have a while though when you humble yourself because all the man is to be elevated the all the man the Quran says, Are they the same? Those who know and those who do not know this is a rhetorical question that the answer is in the question. It's also obvious Allah is not even answering that because the the the stations of the The stations of the The scholars, they are the heirs of the prophets. Why? Because the prophets, they don't leave behind dinar and dirham, gold and silver. What they leave behind is and whoever clings onto this path of knowledge and go after knowledge. They are on the path of the prophets. And this is the nature of the prophets, they leave behind knowledge, all of the prophets, and especially our prophet psalallahu a.ç he said, That the preference of of a Aalim over a Abid, a regular worshiper, is the same as the moon over the stars. And look at the moon. The moon and the stars, as we know, they all get their light from the sun, but the moon gives it out to the people on the earth in the middle of the night so they can see, they can see their path, illuminates the path for people on earth. This is the nature of people of Il is that they need to be elevated honored in our tradition. This is part of our tradition. The Hadith of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he said that when if you, if a person goes on a path of knowledge, Allah will make a path for him to paradise. And that path will always be open until he stops learning, until he returns from that path. And he said that even the fish in the ocean will make dua for the seekers of knowledge, for those who are on the path of knowledge. And this is why honoring the scholars, honoring the ulama is part of our tradition. This is the, you know, not only in Islamic tradition, if you look at Aristotle and Socrates, what they say about their teachers, because teachers, the parents and teachers, these two things, there's a beautiful piece of tradition from Sa'adi, Rahmet al-Alayi, who there was a king who sent his child to the school. And he gave him a loa, they used to write on a loa tablet. It was like the tablets with the wooden tablet. Now we have the digital tablets, but the wooden tablet, they used to write on it. And I remember we had it when we were kids and going to the mosque and learning as children. But when he went, he said he gave him a loa, like really made out of silver and gold. And it was really ornamented really well because he was the son of king. But on the loa, he wrote a line of poetry for his son. He said, He said the bitterness of your teacher is better than the kindness of your father. In other words, go and learn. And even if your teacher is a little bit bitter, it's okay because they're trying to bring out the best out of you. This is what they're trying to do. The teachers are always there to bring the best out of their students and to make their students better than them. So honoring teachers is part of our tradition. One of my teachers said to me many, many years ago, he said the Quran, the first conversation that Allah is having in the Quran when he creates the human being, he says, And Allah taught Adam the names of all things. He told me that he said, Look, Allah's introducing himself as a teacher. Allah taught Adam the names of all things. What a great honor to be a teacher, to be a scholar, to be a alim. This is an amazing honor to be on this path that Allah's introducing himself as a teacher. And may Allah give us still feel to be people on the path of knowledge and to be people who honors knowledge, who honors the ulama and honors this path that we have a path of learning and teaching, inshallah. JazakAllah khayran, inshallah tomorrow night we'll end with the last two advice of Haji Abdullah al-Ansari on the top 10 characteristics in qualities of the people of success in the dunya and people of success in hereafter. JazakAllah khayran, wa salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
