(03:54):
He was selling them unta to be say yet hassan
at that has in Ali he was selling alim. We
(04:14):
begin in the name of a lot of the most gracious,
the most merciful. All praises due to a loss of
Hannah Ala, who has created us, sustains us, has blessed
us with Islam, and has given us the ability to
be gathered here in his remembrance. All praises due to
a loss of Hannah Ala, who has created us from
amongst the uma of the Professor of Loaho Ali He
was selling lots of Hannah alas and salutations upon the
(04:36):
prophet Solo loaho Ali. He was selling his companions, his family,
and all the prophets before him. Lots of Hannah protect
those of us who choose to threaten their path. One
of the in dowbt miracles of the Professor Loho ali
he was Sellem was the ability to speak in a
way that was very comprehensive, with very few words, but
(05:00):
whose meaning was very very deep and continuously giving all
of the haditha the Professor laho aali he was sealem
that we have authenticated, have been commentated on for the
past fourteen plus centuries, and they continue to give us
wisdom that is appropriate for the time a person is living.
(05:22):
This particular haditha the Professor of Laho ali he was
selim ibanjambal him La says, it addresses very holistically comprehensively
the two categories of rights that we as individuals owe.
The first category of rights is the right that a
loss of Hanahuatla expects from us as his creation. The
(05:45):
second category of rights are those that we are expected
to give our fellow human brothers and sisters, whether they
are Muslims or non Muslims. In other words, as social creatures,
the rights that we owe each other. So this particular
hadith comprehensively covers both categories, and they are very simple
(06:07):
rules to keep in mind. Rule number one, the prophet
of Laho Ali who was Sellem, says, and this hadith
is narrated in the collection of Imamtidmi, narrated by the law,
and the prophet of Lajoli who Selim says, fear a
law wherever you are. Rule number one, Fear a law
(06:27):
wherever you are. It sounds very simple, but it's something
that can be kept in mind at all times and
is useful at all moments. Think of the context that
we live in. We live in a time, in a society,
and in a place where religion or any religious identity
(06:50):
is typically found within only the four walls of our
homes or within places of worship. In other words, when
we are in our homes, we think of ourselves as well,
when we are in our massagy we think of ourselves
as Muslim. But in our places of work, in our
places of commerce, and our places that are shared with
(07:10):
other people. In the so called public space and the
public sphere when it comes to the religious identity, that's
kept at a minimum. In other words, you do your thing,
but you do it in a time and a place
where nobody else can see you. And that's fine for
the place that we live, where you don't want any
religion to be superior to another, and you want everybody
(07:33):
to have equal footing. But a loss of hannahuata Ala
reminds us and his expectations that are on us are
all are for all times and places. So it's not
just when we are at home, it's not just when
we are in the messhit But I am still a
Muslim when I am at school. I'm still a Muslim.
When I'm at work, I'm still a Muslim when I'm
(07:54):
interacting with my colleagues. I'm still a Muslim when I'm
interacting with my neighbors. Not just in front or with
fellow believers, but also in front of non believers, hostile
non believers, disbelievers, any other category of people. Islam is
something that we are supposed to keep with ourselves at
all times. And when a person keeps Islam with them,
(08:18):
the way they do so is by keeping a law
front and center, reminding themselves of the fact that a
law is the priority. How else would a person fear
a law wherever they are. They would only fear a
law if they cared about what Allah thought of them
in that particular moment. If we only think of ourselves
as Muslims when we come to the message that here
(08:40):
Allah expects me to pray, but out there Allah does
not care what I do. That's wrong because as soon
as a person leaves the message, they're not leaving their
Islam behind. Their Islam is going with them. So in
our places of work, in our places of commerce, in
our places of shared experiences with everyone else, how are
(09:02):
we supposed to be the bannerman of Islam? How are
we supposed to be the exemplars of Islam? How are
we supposed to be the bearers of prophetic tradition when
it's not front and center. So the prophet of Laho
Alil says it, fear a law wherever you are. Remind
yourself that Allah is your priority. It doesn't matter where
(09:24):
you are, It doesn't matter what stage of life you're in.
It doesn't matter if you are a scholar or non scholar.
It doesn't matter if you are visibly Muslim or not.
Sometimes we think that the dhawa of Islam in other
spaces is on people who are either visibly Muslim, and
that typically means sisters because they're wearing the hijab, or
it means on people who can speak about Islam in
(09:46):
other words, that is in scholars, but as people who
have iman in our hearts, as people who believe in
a law and who believe in the prophet of law Alisama,
who believe in the last day, who believe in Jenna,
who believe in a fountability. Every single person here is
an exemplaw. So out there we are also exemplars. So
(10:07):
the Profai says, rule number one, anything that comes with
the rights of a law, how will you fulfill the
rights of a law? Keep the fear of a law
in your hearts wherever you are. That will make sure
that you don't do anything that you're not supposed to.
Rule number two, well, that follow up something good, follow
(10:31):
up something evil with something good. If all of us
can move forward, fill up all the spaces in front
of you, if you have any spaces in the row
next to you, sit in a way where others can
fill it up from the back of law. Well, the
Professahli says rule number two, follow up any evil deed
with a good deed, and the effect of it would
(10:52):
be it would erase it. It could be one of
two things. Number one, it physically erases the deed, a
loss of Hannah. What the either reminds us who say
hassanad that when a person does toba, when a person
repents to Alan, they do good, then their good deeds
replaces their bad deeds. Allah says in Hassanat to youth,
(11:14):
even gonna say, you add that your good deeds erases
your bad deeds. So there's a there is an immediate
effect that follows when a person does something wrong and
they follow it up with a good deed. But there's
a spiritual aspect to it as well, which is the
stain of a sin that is left on the soul
of a person is erased whenever any person who cares
(11:38):
about their Imaun, who cares about their Islam, who cares
about what Allah thinks of them. When we feel moments
of guilt and shame after any act of sin, when
we feel like we've let a law down, that particular
moment is a moment of vulnerability where a person is very,
very open to being attacked by Chaithan because a law
(12:00):
says that Chathon targets a person when they are about
to sin by reminding them of the mercy of a law,
that Allah will forgive you if you do this, so
tempts him into sin that way. And when a person
commits an active sin, even a kaim says, the person
is reminded of the anger of a law. So those
moments of guilt and shame are weaponized against a person
(12:23):
by Chathon. But it is precisely at that moment where
a person is supposed to push forward and turn back
to a law. So psychologically, spiritually, when a person does
something wrong, if they immediately do something good or if
they follow it up with a good you put yourself
back on track. Why is this important because in the
(12:43):
process of itatil Hamakunta, in the process of fearing a law,
wherever we are, every single one of us are never
going to be one hundred percent perfect. We're not created
to be perfect, we're not expected to be perfect by
a law. However, when a person does something wrong, there
are exit strategies, There are healing mechanisms, and this is
(13:04):
one of them that when you do something wrong, when
a person thinks to themselves that what's the purpose of
me going to the message when I missed fudger? What's
the purpose of me going for jumara when I missed fudger?
That doesn't mean you continue to do something wrong. You
go for juma and you make up your fudger. When
a person says, what's the point of going to the
message when I've just committed this active sin, that's precisely
(13:26):
when you go to the message. Because Chaithon uses those
moments to push a person away from a law. If
you have this visualization of doing an active sin is
like moving one step back, and doing an active good
is moving two steps forward. If a person is always
doing good, they move forward, and they move one step back,
(13:48):
and vice versa. Continuously, they're still proving, they're still going forward.
But if a person only does wrong and they don't
follow up with an active good, what happens or they
follow up with an act of good that is occasional,
they are constantly moving forward, they are constantly moving back
without any improvement whatsoever. And a person moves away from
(14:10):
a law, So the profess a law Hai who said
him says that in the course of your life, as
you try to please a law, when you make mistakes,
this is one way of getting out of it. This
is one way of an exist strategy. This is one
way of making yourself back on the track towards the
loss of Hanahuatada that follow up any evil deed with
(14:31):
a good deed and it will erase it. And this
is to do with a law. And this is to
do with the rights of the people as well. It
goes both ways. That if you missed as law, then
you violated a right of a law. But you go
back to a law, you continue doing whatever you can.
You continue doing whatever a law has expected you to do.
(14:51):
And when you wrong the rights of someone else, when
you violated the rights of someone else, you ask for
their forgiveness. You make up for it. You atone for
your mistakes, and a person is able to move forward.
Rule number three hassen that treat people with good character,
treat people with righteous character. So rule number one, fear
(15:14):
a law wherever you are is to do with the
rights of a law. And it is also a mindset
that allows a person to hold themselves accountable when it
comes to the rights of the people, because you will
not cheat someone when you know that Allah is watching you.
You will not lie to someone when you know a
lot is watching you. You will not betray the trust
of someone when you know that a law is watching you.
(15:35):
Rule number two following up every evil deed with a
good deed. It goes both ways. If I violate the
right of a law, I make up for it. If
I violate the right of a person, I make up
for it. Rule number three specifically for the rights of people.
Treat people in a righteous way. The Prof salaho Ali
who was said I'm said that I was sent to
(15:55):
perfect character. The pa Ali who is SAIDAM has displayed
in and exemplified the highest degree of character, the highest
standard of moral behavior. And when it comes to every
person for themselves, haliquin nasa lookin hastening simply means I
do my part. I try to behave in a way
(16:17):
where at least on the day of judgment, I can
tell a law that I have done my best. I
hold myself accountable. I don't police other people's behaviors. I
don't wait for my right to be given in order
for me to give someone's right, I don't wait for
them to fulfill my right because them reciprocating is up
(16:39):
to them, and they will be held accountable by a
love they don't, but I will be held accountable by
a law. If I don't give whatever do right, it
should be given to someone else. So halquin naslokin hastening
applies to every aspect of our life. When it comes
to our relationships with our spouses, when it comes to
(17:00):
relationships with our children, when it comes to relationships between
family members and siblings, when it comes to relationships between
community members, strangers, neighbors, colleagues, co workers, even enemies. Kali Hassan.
The simplest way to think about this is that the
prophets of Laho ali he was Sellem, who has been
described as having the highest degree of character, never once
(17:24):
behaved the same way that the Kufat of Macca behaved
with him. The profs of Laho ali He was set him.
Despite being called everything under the sun, despite being accused
of the most horrendous of things, of lying, of making
up stories, the Profsa Laho ali he was sellingm never
once called Abu Jaha the same things that they called him.
(17:46):
He never wants behaved the same way with any of
the Kufat of Macca, the way that they behaved with him.
He never retaliated the same way. It doesn't mean that
a person allows themselves to be a doormat. I think
many a times when we talk about good character, when
we talk about being kind and gentle, we conflated with
this idea of being soft, of being a doormat, that
(18:07):
you allow people to walk over you. No, you could
still be gentle while still being firm and not allowing
someone to violate your dignity. You can be firm against
someone in your words, in your behavior without being harsh.
You could push back against someone without falling to their level.
That's what has any means that we take the profess
(18:31):
of Laho Ali who is sell Them's example for ourselves,
and that on the day of judgment, when we are
standing in front of a law, we can say, oh
a lot, at least I did my part. So a
loss of hinat island guide doesn't protect us, give us
knowledge that benefits us man. Lots of haina what give
us all the ability to implement these in our lives?
Lots of behinda hot isla guide bless and protect us
all Loho island will be ram who want to start in?

Rule number two, well, that follow up something good, follow
(10:31):
up something evil with something good. If all of us
can move forward, fill up all the spaces in front
of you, if you have any spaces in the row
next to you, sit in a way where others can
fill it up from the back of law. Well, the
Professahli says rule number two, follow up any evil deed
with a good deed, and the effect of it would
(10:52):
be it would erase it. It could be one of
two things. Number one, it physically erases the deed, a
loss of Hannah. What the either reminds us who say
hassanad that when a person does toba, when a person
repents to Alan, they do good, then their good deeds
replaces their bad deeds. Allah says in Hassanat to youth,
(11:14):
even gonna say, you add that your good deeds erases
your bad deeds. So there's a there is an immediate
effect that follows when a person does something wrong and
they follow it up with a good deed. But there's
a spiritual aspect to it as well, which is the
stain of a sin that is left on the soul
of a person is erased whenever any person who cares
(11:38):
about their Imaun, who cares about their Islam, who cares
about what Allah thinks of them. When we feel moments
of guilt and shame after any act of sin, when
we feel like we've let a law down, that particular
moment is a moment of vulnerability where a person is very,
very open to being attacked by Chaithan because a law
(12:00):
says that Chathon targets a person when they are about
to sin by reminding them of the mercy of a law,
that Allah will forgive you if you do this, so
tempts him into sin that way. And when a person
commits an active sin, even a kaim says, the person
is reminded of the anger of a law. So those
moments of guilt and shame are weaponized against a person
(12:23):
by Chathon. But it is precisely at that moment where
a person is supposed to push forward and turn back
to a law. So psychologically, spiritually, when a person does
something wrong, if they immediately do something good or if
they follow it up with a good you put yourself
back on track. Why is this important because in the
(12:43):
process of itatil Hamakunta, in the process of fearing a law,
wherever we are, every single one of us are never
going to be one hundred percent perfect. We're not created
to be perfect, we're not expected to be perfect by
a law. However, when a person does something wrong, there
are exit strategies, There are healing mechanisms, and this is
(13:04):
one of them that when you do something wrong, when
a person thinks to themselves that what's the purpose of
me going to the message when I missed fudger? What's
the purpose of me going for jumara when I missed fudger?
That doesn't mean you continue to do something wrong. You
go for juma and you make up your fudger. When
a person says, what's the point of going to the
message when I've just committed this active sin, that's precisely
(13:26):
when you go to the message. Because Chaithon uses those
moments to push a person away from a law. If
you have this visualization of doing an active sin is
like moving one step back, and doing an active good
is moving two steps forward. If a person is always
doing good, they move forward, and they move one step back,
(13:48):
and vice versa. Continuously, they're still proving, they're still going forward.
But if a person only does wrong and they don't
follow up with an active good, what happens or they
follow up with an act of good that is occasional,
they are constantly moving forward, they are constantly moving back
without any improvement whatsoever. And a person moves away from
(14:10):
a law, So the profess a law Hai who said
him says that in the course of your life, as
you try to please a law, when you make mistakes,
this is one way of getting out of it. This
is one way of an exist strategy. This is one
way of making yourself back on the track towards the
loss of Hanahuatada that follow up any evil deed with
(14:31):
a good deed and it will erase it. And this
is to do with a law. And this is to
do with the rights of the people as well. It
goes both ways. That if you missed as law, then
you violated a right of a law. But you go
back to a law, you continue doing whatever you can.
You continue doing whatever a law has expected you to do.
(14:51):
And when you wrong the rights of someone else, when
you violated the rights of someone else, you ask for
their forgiveness. You make up for it. You atone for
your mistakes, and a person is able to move forward.
Rule number three hassen that treat people with good character,
treat people with righteous character. So rule number one, fear
(15:14):
a law wherever you are is to do with the
rights of a law. And it is also a mindset
that allows a person to hold themselves accountable when it
comes to the rights of the people, because you will
not cheat someone when you know that Allah is watching you.
You will not lie to someone when you know a
lot is watching you. You will not betray the trust
of someone when you know that a law is watching you.
(15:35):
Rule number two following up every evil deed with a
good deed. It goes both ways. If I violate the
right of a law, I make up for it. If
I violate the right of a person, I make up
for it. Rule number three specifically for the rights of people.
Treat people in a righteous way. The Prof salaho Ali
who was said I'm said that I was sent to
(15:55):
perfect character. The pa Ali who is SAIDAM has displayed
in and exemplified the highest degree of character, the highest
standard of moral behavior. And when it comes to every
person for themselves, haliquin nasa lookin hastening simply means I
do my part. I try to behave in a way
(16:17):
where at least on the day of judgment, I can
tell a law that I have done my best. I
hold myself accountable. I don't police other people's behaviors. I
don't wait for my right to be given in order
for me to give someone's right, I don't wait for
them to fulfill my right because them reciprocating is up
(16:39):
to them, and they will be held accountable by a
love they don't, but I will be held accountable by
a law. If I don't give whatever do right, it
should be given to someone else. So halquin naslokin hastening
applies to every aspect of our life. When it comes
to our relationships with our spouses, when it comes to
(17:00):
relationships with our children, when it comes to relationships between
family members and siblings, when it comes to relationships between
community members, strangers, neighbors, colleagues, co workers, even enemies. Kali Hassan.
The simplest way to think about this is that the
prophets of Laho ali he was Sellem, who has been
described as having the highest degree of character, never once
(17:24):
behaved the same way that the Kufat of Macca behaved
with him. The profs of Laho ali He was set him.
Despite being called everything under the sun, despite being accused
of the most horrendous of things, of lying, of making
up stories, the Profsa Laho ali he was sellingm never
once called Abu Jaha the same things that they called him.
(17:46):
He never wants behaved the same way with any of
the Kufat of Macca, the way that they behaved with him.
He never retaliated the same way. It doesn't mean that
a person allows themselves to be a doormat. I think
many a times when we talk about good character, when
we talk about being kind and gentle, we conflated with
this idea of being soft, of being a doormat, that
(18:07):
you allow people to walk over you. No, you could
still be gentle while still being firm and not allowing
someone to violate your dignity. You can be firm against
someone in your words, in your behavior without being harsh.
You could push back against someone without falling to their level.
That's what has any means that we take the profess
(18:31):
of Laho Ali who is sell Them's example for ourselves,
and that on the day of judgment, when we are
standing in front of a law, we can say, oh
a lot, at least I did my part. So a
loss of hinat island guide doesn't protect us, give us
knowledge that benefits us man. Lots of haina what give
