 I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the accursed, and the accursed. I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the accursed, and the accursed. I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the accursed, and the accursed. I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the accursed, and the accursed. And the foundation of this beautiful center is not visible. You cannot see the beauty of the foundation, that is what I need to say. But what you see is the beauty of the structure. You see the beautiful columns, you see the beautiful ceiling, you see the beautiful flooring, everything. That is visible. Similarly to worship we do, because it is the foundation, the salah, the halj, the zakah, the fasting. It is not visible, the beauty of it is not seen, because it is hidden. What is seen? The most perfect in regards to the faith amongst the believers are those with characterism whose akhlaq are good. And these akhlaq are visible. If your worship is weak, it can be hidden. But if our akhlaq are weak, they are visible, intolerant, impatient. All these things become visible in the eyes of people. That is why you are a prophet of Allah. What is the best iman a person can have? Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, you have good akhlaq and your iman will become complete, the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. I want to become the best of the human beings, or prophet of Allah, if a person comes to prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, or prophet of Allah, I want to be the best of the human beings. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam didn't tell him pray sallah, the course of behavior sallah, is of behavior upon all of us. He didn't tell him to pray extra optional sallah. He didn't tell him to recite extra Quran or do hajj after hajj or umrah after umrah. But Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, you do the khidmah of the people. You serve the people and you become, you will become the best among the human beings. There is one prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Islam al muslim, al sallim al muslim, al sallim al sallim al yasir, al bayadeem. O qanabah, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, in muslim, I hear iman, I hear Islam, I hear the word of Allah. Which Islam is the best for prophet of Allah? Isha'abi comes and asks Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, which Islam is the best? Again, Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not tell him sallah, hajjj, Quran, recitation, figure of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Which Islam is the best for prophet of Allah? Al muslim, al sallim al muslim, al bayadeem, al sallim al yasir al bayadeem. That person's Islam is best from whose town they are, from whose town they are, other muslims, from his son and his hands, other muslims are safe. And the scholars say Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said the same in Badir al-Mudabbar. Only muslims are living over there. What it implies is muslims or non-muslims. Because non-muslims are our human brothers. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam implied both. A muslim is the one from whose town muslims and his or her non-muslim brothers are safe from his or her tongue and their hands. And then it came to which Iman is the best for prophet of Allah. How does Iman get complete? The faith gets complete for prophet of Allah. Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said you complete your akhlaq. You have good akhlaq. You have good character. Your Iman will be complete at prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Akhlaq brings beauty to our life as a business. Well, status, position. The beauty of the house which I believe is in mansions. Do not bring beauty to our homes like would akhlaq bring the beauty to our homes. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said a man cannot suffice a human being, cannot suffice other human beings with his or her wealth. You will not be able to suffice, satisfy all the human beings or any amount of human beings you want to. But you can suffice them with good akhlaq and good character. Good akhlaq Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Good akhlaq melt your sins like the sun melts the ice. Like the sun melts the ice. There is hope. Good akhlaq. There is one prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam saying person who has good akhlaq, who has good manners, good conduct, good behavior. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Allah Azza wa Jalla will give him that position third of the sun in your body. Allah will give him or her that position as the one who prays all night long from the time they mature till they die. And they fasted all their lives to the time they mature till they die. Who can do that with respect to the Muslims? It is humanly impossible. But Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is willing to give that status, those rewards, these rewards which cannot be accomplished by immense amount, abundant amount of worship. But Allah is giving him with good akhlaq and good character. Ma min shay'in atfaloo fi mizami al-muqmi in yawm al-qiyyay'a wa min khustin khulam. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Nothing weighs heavier on the scales of the day of judgment. Nothing weighs heavier on the scales of judgment, on the day of judgment on your scales. Then your good akhlaq and good character. Nothing weighs heavier. Why? Because something that is scarce, something that is rare, the price goes up, the price goes up. Extremely hard to find people. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, The sahabah, these virtues are good akhlaq from Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And one of the A'am talks, The sahabah, Abu Huraira Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, came to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and said, Ya Rasulullah, man hussn al-akhlaq. What are good akhlaq or Prophets of Allah? Prophets of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Three things. Siddil man qadakak wa'afu anhu min daliman, wa a'afu sallam al-masafah dilayna. Jointize with those who break away from you, do good to those who do bad to you and forgive those who are unjust to you. Jointize with those who break away from you, do good to those who do bad to you and forgive those who are unjust to you. Easier said than done. If these come into my life, my life will become parents on this earth. If these come into your lives, your life will become parents on this earth. Our children, our parents, our spouses. Umm-i-habibah al-rubi Allah wa-alhamd. Mother of the widows, wife of Prophets of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. She was married and her husband died. She was widowed. After some time, Prophets of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam proposed her and married her. And after some time, she asks in the liberties of the life of Prophets of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. O Prophets of Allah, if a woman marries her husband die, Allah will make him enter paradise. And she marries another man after that. He dies. Allah will make him enter paradise. She dies. Allah will make her enter paradise. Whose husband will she be in paradise if Allah makes her enter paradise? Prophets of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, she will be the wife of that husband whose akhlaq were good in this world. O Umm-i-habibah, good akhlaq bring nothing but khayr and good. Good akhlaq bring nothing but khayr and good, said Prophets of Allah. Al-asin-i-malik wa sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Who served Prophets of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for ten years in the name of Allah. He says, a man with good akhlaq, it can take him or her to the highest abode in paradise, Jannat-ul-Firdous, even though he may be a person of not-abundant worship. He may not be a person of much worship at all. But his or her good akhlaq will take him or her to Jannat-ul-Firdous. And he said, a person with bad akhlaq, a person with bad akhlaq and character, even though he may be a person of abundant worship, can put him to the lowest peak of the fire. Jannat-ul-Firdous, he says, four things, four things, take a person to the highest abode in paradise. Parents, many patients in the top, many tolerance in the face of provocation. And patients in the face of provocation. In other words, somebody comes and curses us and says anything, slanders us, curses us, abuses us, verbally. He tells them, brothers, say salam to you, say, how is it doing? The next day he said, I can't do that. I don't want to see space. I don't want to talk to you. But if you tell the same person, can you pay the haljit all night, is it not a problem? I can fast, I can pay the haljit all night. I can read Quran, but I cannot talk to them personally, not with respect to these people. Patients in the face of provocation. Tolerance in patients in the face of provocation. He brought me another matter to light. One of the great pious persons, as he was ailed to the throne of Al-Bali-Sama, he left everything in search and recognition of Allah, his walking. And a soldier comes on a horse and he says, are you a slave? He says, yes. He says, be very to inhabited place, country. He says, I'll leave the world there. And he points to the cemetery. And the soldier says, don't joke with me, I'm asking you where do you live? He says, I'll leave right there in the cemetery. Then the soldier becomes really angry and he hits him with the base of his sword, really hard on his head. Ibrahim bin Adam ran to the light, falls out unconscious. The soldier picks him up, puts him on his horse, brings him to the town. The people surround him, Ibrahim bin Adam, what happened to him? The soldier says, this is Ibrahim bin Adam? What did he do to him? He kisses his feet, kisses him by the time he has gained consciousness. He says, please forgive me. Ibrahim bin Adam, Ibrahim bin Adam says, the moment you hit me with the base of the sword on my head, I said, oh Allah, make him enter paradise. The people said, he did injustice to you. He called you a slave and hit you. He did injustice to you. He says, yes, he called me a slave and he asked me who slave I was. I'm a slave of Allah. And the reason I made the dua for him is because I didn't want any good to come from his evil to me. I didn't want any good from Allah to come from his evil to me. I wanted the good to come from my patience and forbearance from Allah. Ibrahim bin Adam is walking in the streets of Aldaad, the woman comes and says, you're a hypocrite. And his smile says, nobody recognized me as well as you did. Ibrahim bin Adam, the man comes and slanders and kisses him. He scolds him verbally, everything left and right. And he says, if my virtues are less on the scales of judgment, I'm worse than what you're saying. But if my virtues are heavier, then what you're saying is not going to harm me. Abu Bakr, Rabi'Allah, a man comes and says, saying, he says, Abu Bakr, he says, what Allah has hidden of my faults from you are worse than what you're doing. Or more heinous than what you're telling me and accusing me of. Shabirah and Allah is walking. The person comes and says, this, that, this. He says, if what you're saying is true, may Allah forgive me. And if what you're saying is lies, may Allah forgive you. How did these people reach the status of the distance? A state of equilibrium, not just outside but inside the hearts or clean of any hatred, malice, rancor, arrogance. Allah, may Allah forgive me. There is a small eye and there is a big eye. Rasulullah, may Allah forgive me. Oh Allah, make me small in the eyes of the people and make me big in your eyes of Allah's power. I said, I said, I said, respect your listeners. We are weak in worship. We are weak in the reception of the Quran in doing thicker and your optional salats. But let us make this resolution today that I am going to make my house a paradise. One sweet word, respect your listeners. One sweet word in our homes or our children or in our houses can save generations. One bitter word from this tongue. One bitter word from this tongue can destroy generations. That is how serious, significant, important the death of the words that come from our tongue. One bitter word can poison the oceans. That is how poisonous it can be. One sweet word, oceans filled with honey cannot compete in the sweetness that comes. Words can be magical. That is why shaitan, subhanAllah, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said What time is it? Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said shaitan has his own code. His throne is on the water. Allah shayateen come and report to him of the fitna they have strain on the earth. One comes and says I made this person miss Salah. Another one comes and says I made this person stop going to the masjid and he says good, good, good. I made him lie. I made him cheat. Good, good, good. One shaitan comes and says today I went to a home. There was a husband and wife living. There was a lot of love between them. But I created fitna between them. I made them argue with each other. I made them fight with each other. I made them separate. This shaitan jumps up from his throne and he says brahu excellent, what a great job you have done. Like he said you are the man. He said you are the shaitan. Why? Because when a person dreams it's against his own thing. It's between him and Allah. Even if a person is committing adultery and fornication. It's between him and Allah. Then my Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam said I'll leave you asad to be in a sinan. That body is worse than committing adultery and fornication. Why? Because it's between your wife and the rights of a fellow human being. For which the court of Allah is tough. Allah did not forgive us until the other people forgive us. Allah did not forgive us. But when a person has broken a family split upon a husband and a wife he is not only the shaitan has not only split upon a husband and wife that family, those kids in the family the generation that is affected and that is where the shaitan comes and he becomes so happy. Let us build this up to rely on Jesus. Sayyidina Khattabah Wa'afu anman ta'amah Wa'ahsayun ilaamika sa'ali Join the guys with those break away from you. Do good to those who go back to you. Forgive those who are unjust to us. Then you will see how our life becomes Allah will give us the sweetness of Iman. Allah will give us the sweetness of living our lives. The sweetness that we come in our relationships with our children with our spouses our neighbors our communities even though even though Allah praises him in the Qur'an Wa dihmat ala ala'hul al-finali O Prophet of Allah you are a tremendous character. People saw the miracles people saw him spraying the moon but they did not accept Islam. They saw angels they saw the angels in the battle they did not accept Islam. They heard the most beautiful reception of the Qur'an they did not accept Islam. They saw 10,000 soldiers marching to Makkah with Rasulullah fully armed did not accept Islam. But when they saw the akhlaa Rasulullah said Allah akhlaa When they saw his akhlaa they came in tens and thousands in terms of Islam. May Allah beautify our lives
