[0:00]Forebakill [Music] ash.

[0:31]Sh.

[0:33][Music] [Music] [Music] Ash [Music] for [Music] [Music] [Music] Hi Father.

[1:42]Hal [Music] [Music] Allahbar.

[2:04]Forebot [Music] [Music] has Ibraim.

[2:39]I seek refuge in Allah, the all hearing, the all knowing from

[2:45]the accursed Satan.

[2:46]In the name of Allah, the most merciful, the most compassionate.

[2:50]All praise is due to Allah, the first before creation and life,

[2:57]and the last after the annihilation of all things.

[3:01]He is the all knowing who does not forget those who remember

[3:04]him, does not diminish the reward of those who thank him, does

[3:08]not disappoint those who call upon him, and does not sever the

[3:14]hope of those who place their trust in him.

[3:18]I bear witness that there is no God but God alone without

[3:21]a partner.

[3:23]And I bear witness that Muhammad sallall.aii Wasam is a servant and

[3:29]messenger.

[3:30]He sent him with guidance and the religion of truth to make

[3:33]it prevail over all religions even though the non-believers may dislike it.

[3:39]Oh God, send your blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad

[3:43]and bless the Muhammad and the family of Muhammad and have mercy

[3:48]on Muhammad and the family of Muhammad in the best way that

[3:50]you have sent blessings, bestowed blessings, and shown mercy upon Abraham and

[3:55]the family of Abraham.

[3:59]Indeed, you are praiseworthy, glorious, and you do what you will.

[4:03]Servants of Allah, I advise you in myself to be mindful of

[4:06]Allah the Almighty.

[4:10]to follow his commands and to avoid his prohibitions.

[4:16]When it comes to choosing a way of life in this world,

[4:26]we take the guidance regarding the way of life from our prophet

[4:30]sallallahu alaihi wasallam and from the imams ofam.

[4:36]And what we can take from the prophet and the imams are

[4:42]three things.

[4:43]The things that they say and if something was done in front

[4:49]of them and they approve it or they don't speak against it.

[4:51]So we take their approval from that just from their actions.

[4:55]So there's their speech and their action and we also look at

[5:02]their behavior as well.

[5:02]So if something the im does something and someone says I saw

[5:07]the im doing so and so we take this from the im.

[5:09]We believe that this is the correct way of action.

[5:11]So it's not always that the im has to say something.

[5:15]Sometimes we have a hadith where one of the companions says I

[5:17]saw imam doing so and so.

[5:19]We understand from the imam's action that this is something that Allah

[5:22]subhana t wants and it's permitted.

[5:25]And if something was done in front of the im and the

[5:29]im did not tell that person not to do it.

[5:31]We also believe that that is an approval of that action.

[5:33]This is called.

[5:35]So if we have a companion who says I saw imam sitting

[5:39]in a gathering and someone did so and so and the im

[5:43]did not say anything.

[5:43]This means that the im had approved it because as an as

[5:48]an imam he has to prevent people from doing haram.

[5:53]This is his responsibility.

[5:53]So if it happens in front of him and he doesn't say

[5:58]anything then it means that this is a permissible act.

[6:01]When we look at the speeches and the words of the imams,

[6:05]we see that they're divided into different categories.

[6:08]Sometimes we have a hadith or narrations where the imam directly tells

[6:12]us what to do and what not to do.

[6:14]He gives us the law specifically.

[6:17]Other types of speech include them telling us what to do in

[6:22]certain actions with regards to let's say marriage for example.

[6:24]And this is a hadith I'm going to share with you over

[6:29]here.

[6:30]He'll say that when you get married on a certain time at

[6:32]a certain time or on a certain day recite the certain dua

[6:37]or do the certain action.

[6:38]So we take it as a recommended act to do that which

[6:43]is exactly what the imam is trying to tell us to do.

[6:45]But we also have to contemplate upon what the imam is telling

[6:48]us the words that are chosen.

[6:52]So for example this hadith over here by imbakam he says that

[6:57]when the bride is brought to you when you get married and

[7:02]the bride is brought to you instruct her to perform ablution will

[7:06]do instruct her to perform will do it beforehand and perform will

[7:11]do it yourself as well.

[7:12]So when you get married inshallah those who are not married yet

[7:16]you get married soon when the bride is brought to you you

[7:20]tell her to do woo before she comes to you and you'll

[7:22]also be on woo.

[7:24]So when you first meet your bride you have to be on

[7:29]a state of purity.

[7:29]This is very important.

[7:30]The imam is teaching us here that this act is not just

[7:35]a physical act.

[7:37]It's not just a worldly act.

[7:37]Just like you do woo to go to salat because it's a

[7:43]sacred act.

[7:41]It's a sacred place then marriage is also sacred.

[7:46]You have to begin with this mindset, begin with this way of

[7:50]thinking and understanding and approach to these things in life.

[7:54]So marriage in a sense is sacred just like salat is sacred

[7:57]as well.

[7:58]And then the imam says then both of you should pray should

[8:01]each pray two units of prayer two rakas.

[8:04]So you both perform mudoo she comes you two perform two raas

[8:11]of prayers after that you praise Allah subhana wa ta'ala you send

[8:16]blessings upon Muhammad and his family and then the either I don't

[8:23]think the narration says this one of the says this it's a

[8:25]little thing in brackets for a good stable and spiritually uplifting life

[8:30]supplicate and instruct the woman who came with her to say the

[8:37]follow to say a mean.

[8:37]So the imam says after you finish your two prayers you tell

[8:43]the bride and the woman who are there when you finish this

[8:46]dua to say a mean to uh it's called dua you ask

[8:54]Allahh it's like amen asking Allahh to accept this prayer.

[8:56]So basically everyone is also combining their own prayers with your prayer.

[9:01]The dua is as follows.

[9:05]The im says, "Oh Allah, grant me her affection, her love, and

[9:19]her pleasure and make me pleased with her.

[9:31]Unite us in the best form of togetherness.

[9:49]Unite us in the best form of togetherness and the strongest bond

[9:55]of harmony.

[9:54]For indeed you love what is lawful and you dislike what is

[10:03]unlawful.

[10:01]If we take this dua and we dissect it segment by segment,

[10:06]word by word, we find that there are a lot of lessons

[10:09]that we can derive from it.

[10:13]First of all, the imam again with the introductions to that marriage,

[10:17]the introduction to bringing the bride to you to be on woo

[10:21]to perform salat basically to understand that this is a sacred matrimony

[10:24]that you begin your life pleasing Allah subhanaa tala.

[10:28]You're doing something that is halal and you're not doing something that

[10:32]is haram.

[10:31]And then you pray to Allah subhana wa tala and you ask

[10:36]him for specific things.

[10:36]You say, "Allah grant me." It's a form of risk.

[10:40]When you wake up in the morning and you pray for Allah

[10:42]subhanaa tala to give you risk, to give you sustenance.

[10:46]Part of risk is nonmaterial risk.

[10:51]Part of risk is to have the affection of your wife.

[10:52]So when you ask Allah to give you sustenance, don't only think

[10:57]about money.

[10:57]to only think about worldly things.

[10:58]Also think about things that are non-materialistic, things that are spiritual.

[11:05]To have a loving wife, a loving spouse is also a form

[11:07]of risk and sustenance.

[11:10]So include that in your dua.

[11:11]And if you're a woman, having a loving husband is also a

[11:16]form of risk.

[11:15]So when he asks for that sustenance, keep that in mind to

[11:20]have a loving spouse and a loving family.

[11:23]So the imam begins with grant me her affection.

[11:24]You don't want to be living with someone who doesn't have affection

[11:27]towards you.

[11:29]It's like living in hell, right?

[11:31]If you have whether it's your wife or it's your husband in

[11:36]the house who is like that.

[11:37]The house is rem harmony is removed from the house.

[11:40]Then the imam says and grant me her love.

[11:43]So this is even a higher level after affection.

[11:48]First you need your spouse to be affectionate towards you.

[11:50]But you also want her to be loving towards you.

[11:55]And then he says usually in a patriarchal society we have the

[12:00]idea that it is only the wife who should please her husband

[12:06]only the pleasure of the husband is necessary in the household.

[12:09]But here the imam is praying to Allah subhana t to grant

[12:16]him the pleasure of his wife towards him.

[12:18]As a husband you also want your wife to be pleased with

[12:19]you.

[12:20]It's not that you're the only one who should be pleased with

[12:22]her and nothing else matters.

[12:24]And again, this is the iming when saying to pray this when

[12:30]the bride is brought in.

[12:30]So it's giving us the correct mentality of thinking.

[12:34]And the opposite is is true as well.

[12:36]So the imam says and give grant me her pleasure and make

[12:41]me pleased with her.

[12:42]And this is the best type of relationship that you have when

[12:47]both sides are pleased with one another.

[12:50]A person shouldn't sleep at night unless they know that their spouse

[12:53]is pleased with them.

[12:54]If anything happened during the day that causes any type of displeasure,

[12:57]make sure you don't sleep before you talk to your spouse and

[13:03]you make sure that they are pleased with you because without this

[13:06]pleasure, Allah subhana t's pleasure will be removed from the house.

[13:10]Unite us in the best form of togetherness.

[13:14]So when you're together, the imam says that you have to have

[13:18]the best form of togetherness, the most beautiful way of living together.

[13:21]What is this picture?

[13:22]What is this model?

[13:24]What is this scene where you both are living in the best

[13:26]way?

[13:27]The imam asked Allahh to grant him or telling the people who

[13:33]are getting married to ask Allah to grant them this to live

[13:36]in the best form together.

[13:40]And the strongest bond of harmony, a bond that is not separable,

[13:43]a bond that doesn't get severed or broken because of some small

[13:47]quarrel or problem that happens in the home.

[13:50]If you have a very strong bond, then no matter what happens

[13:53]in the house, you are able to resolve it.

[13:55]You don't separate from one another.

[13:57]And this is a very big problem that we have nowadays with

[14:01]divorce rates rising or uh rising and increasing in society.

[14:04]the bond between people in the family is very weak.

[14:08]So it's very important for us to have a strong bond not

[14:12]just a bond of marriage but the imam says a bond of

[14:14]harmony because if you have harmony in a relationship you both will

[14:18]want to be together for indeed you love what is lawful and

[14:23]you dislike what is unlawful.

[14:26]The relationship that we have should always be in the pleasure of

[14:29]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[14:29]Anything unlawful in the relationship, any unlawful act leads to the person

[14:35]sinning.

[14:36]And whatever leads to the person sinning darkens the person's soul.

[14:39]And once the soul is darkened, that's when the problems begin to

[14:43]happen at home.

[14:45]But if you are someone who is performing what Allah asks you

[14:48]to do, staying away from the prohibitions of God, especially in a

[14:51]relationship, the way you speak to the individual, the way you speak

[14:55]to your spouse, the way you speak to your children, if you

[14:58]are really obeying what Allah subhana t says, not just coming to

[15:02]the masjid and performing your salat or at home performing your wajat

[15:08]and you're fasting and praying, but when it comes to your two

[15:12]separate things as we saw here when The Imm says to do

[15:15]will do and to do uh two raas before the bride comes.

[15:19]He's telling us that this marriage is also sacred just like your

[15:23]salat is sacred.

[15:23]Just like you don't leave your salat, you should not leave your

[15:28]good in the house.

[15:28]If your spouse does something wrong, do not punish them in the

[15:34]wrong way.

[15:33]Do not be unjust with them.

[15:34]Otherwise, the blessings will be removed from the family.

[15:38]We ask Allah subhana t to grant us the state of peace

[15:45]and harmony in our homes.

[16:13]I praise God yet no speaker can articulate his praise.

[16:18]No reckoner can count his favors.

[16:21]And the most diligent cannot give him his due.

[16:26]Soaring thoughts cannot reach him and deep minds cannot fathom him.

[16:29]He cannot be described for he is beyond the limits of demarcated

[16:34]boundaries, existing depictions, tallied times and protracted lifespans.

[16:39]The first part of religion is the knowledge of God.

[16:43]Knowledge of him is perfected by belief in him.

[16:47]Belief in him is perfected by the declaration of his oneness.

[16:50]Declaration of his oneness is perfected by sincere allegiance to him.

[16:55]Sincere allegiance to him is achieved by negating all attributes ascribed to

[17:00]him.

[17:01]By the testimony of every attribute that it is separated from the

[17:05]thing described and by the testimony of each thing described that it

[17:10]is separated from the attribute.

[17:12]To describe God is to ascribe associates to him.

[17:16]To ascribe associates to him is to ascribe duality to him.

[17:22]To ascribe duality to him is to divide him.

[17:25]To divide him is to undervalue him.

[17:29]To undervalue him is to depict him and to depict him is

[17:32]to circumscribe him.

[17:35]To circumscribe him is to quantify him.

[17:36]I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone with

[17:41]no partner.

[17:42]And I bear witness that Muhammad sallallahu alaihi is a servant and

[17:47]messenger.

[17:48]Oh Allah, send your blessings upon Muhammad, the seal of the prophets

[17:51]and the master of the messengers.

[17:52]And send your blessings, oh Lord, upon Ali, the commander of the

[17:55]faithful, and upon Fatima Zah, the lady of the woman of the

[18:01]world, and upon Al Hassan Hussein, the masters of the youth of

[18:04]paradise.

[18:04]Oh Allah, send your blessings upon the imams of the Muslim Aliham

[18:17]and may Allah in his reappearance ease his emergence and make us

[18:26]among his supporters and helpers.

[18:32]That first intro I was reciting that was from the sermon of

[18:36]Im Ali Alisam describing Allah subhana wa tala.

[18:39]It's a very beautiful sermon.

[18:40]If you go to make sure to read that sermon the im

[18:45]teaches us a lot of very deep concepts about in it.

[18:51]One of the Islamic concepts that we have to live by which

[18:55]the imams have told us about and I'm going to briefly speak

[18:57]about this and then enter into salat inshallah is the to have

[19:03]the virtue of or the act of mudarat which is translated as

[19:08]tact or forbearance meaning like diplomacy or a form of tolerance with

[19:14]kindness and love.

[19:15]The messenger of Allah sallallah.aihi wasallam said my lord has commanded me

[19:20]to deal with people with forbearance with mudarat just as he com

[19:28]commanded me to fulfill the obligatory duties.

[19:31]Mudarat means that I deal with people with compassion and kindness.

[19:35]People that I differ with people have I who I have different

[19:39]opinions with.

[19:40]I don't have this enmity towards them.

[19:43]I shouldn't cancel out anybody who I have a difference of opinion

[19:47]with because in this world nobody has the same exact opinions that

[19:51]everyone else.

[19:53]Every individual is composed in a unique way.

[19:58]You might agree with people on on many things but there are

[20:01]also many things that you differ with others upon.

[20:04]So if you want to base this differing on canceling each other

[20:07]out or distancing yourself from other people then you're never going to

[20:10]live with anybody.

[20:12]you're going to become isolated.

[20:14]You're going to become a hermit and you're not going to be

[20:18]able to function well in society.

[20:19]It's very important for us especially as believers to have this type

[20:25]of tactfulness, this forbearance, this tolerance with other people who we differ

[20:30]with.

[20:30]Imam Bakar Alisam tells us that in the Torah it is written

[20:36]among what Allah confided to Mus Iran, prophet Moses peace be upon

[20:40]him.

[20:41]Oh MS, conceal my hidden secret within your innermost being and outwardly

[20:47]show tact mudarat on my behalf towards my enemy and your enemy

[20:52]from among my creation.

[20:54]And do not provoke them against me by revealing my hidden secret

[20:59]therefore or thereby making my enemy and your enemy joined together in

[21:05]reviling me.

[21:05]Here the imam is telling us that Allahh is ordering Mus Alam

[21:10]to even have forbearance with his enemy.

[21:13]Not just with his believers, not just with his companions, but even

[21:18]those that you differ with in your belief system, you have to

[21:21]have a form of tolerance with them, a form of diplomacy.

[21:25]Just because they differ with you in your belief, it doesn't mean

[21:28]that you automatically cancel them out of your life and you isolate

[21:31]yourself and you put yourself in a small bubble.

[21:33]If you live in a society where there are people who are

[21:35]non-believers, they're not Muslims, you're still obliged to go and live with

[21:40]them, to speak with them, to befriend them, to show your presence

[21:45]in society.

[21:45]At the end of the day, they are creations of Allah subhana

[21:49]wa ta'ala.

[21:48]And your act towards them in goodness might invite them towards Allah

[21:54]subhana wa tala and towards the path of truthfulness.

[21:56]And if they don't have to necessarily convert to your religion, but

[22:01]maybe through your ethical behavior and your goodness towards them, their behavior

[22:06]changes into better behavior.

[22:07]This is still something that is praiseworthy by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

[22:12]In another hadith of sallallahu alaihi wasallam tells us that Gabriel peace

[22:16]be upon him came to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam and told

[22:20]the prophet oh Muhammad your lord sends you his greetings and says

[22:25]to you show tact to my with my creation be tolerant of

[22:30]my creation be kind towards them be compassionate towards them this is

[22:35]a command that Allah gave to the prophet through he specifically went

[22:40]down to tell him this instruction instruction.

[22:43]So imagine if this is the instruction towards the general people to

[22:49]all of creation.

[22:48]How should your behavior be towards your fellow believers?

[22:54]How should your behavior be towards your family members at home?

[22:57]If someone has does something that bothers you, something that gets on

[23:03]your nerves, don't be so quick to judge them and attack them

[23:05]and try to punish them.

[23:08]Be forgiving.

[23:07]Be understanding of their differences.

[23:09]understand that they might have a different way of looking at things

[23:13]in life.

[23:15]As long as they're not going astray from the path and even

[23:20]when they do, you should try to bring them back with forbearance

[23:25]and with and with.

[23:26]If you want to sit there picking on every single thing, every

[23:31]single problem in life, you will never live a life of happiness.

[23:33]If every small thing that bothers you, you want to stop at

[23:38]it and start making an argument about it and start getting bothered

[23:41]about it.

[23:42]When are you going to be happy in life?

[23:44]When are you gonna have that feeling of peace and tranquility in

[23:46]your heart?

[23:47]There's a lot of things in life that you just have to

[23:49]let go.

[23:50]Just pass over them.

[23:53]They happen.

[23:51]Don't give them attention.

[23:54]Once you give them attention, that's when they start causing you problems.

[24:00]So, learn how to ignore things.

[24:01]Not because you don't care, but there are things that are worth

[24:04]stopping at and trying to fix.

[24:05]And there are things that are just not worth it.

[24:08]Not worth destroying your soul over.

[24:11]We have this very beautiful by imam where he tells the individuals

[24:24]I'm not going to read the whole uh but at the end

[24:28]he tells them I will not set you right by corrupting myself.

[24:34]These are some of the people in Kufa who he was trying

[24:36]to guide over and over and over again yet they would not

[24:41]listen to him.

[24:41]They would not correct their behavior.

[24:43]So the imam says I certainly know what will set you right

[24:48]and straighten your crookedness.

[24:50]The imam says I could I know the method of how to

[24:51]set people like you straight.

[24:55]You people who are very stubborn and people who don't listen and

[24:58]no matter how much I admonish you, you don't listen to me.

[25:00]The imam says, "I know a certain way that I can set

[25:04]you straight and I can set your crookedness straight, but I will

[25:07]not set you right by corrupting myself.

[25:08]But if I am to do that thing, I'm going to be

[25:13]corrupting myself.

[25:14]And I'm not going to corrupt myself to set you straight because

[25:17]you don't know how to listen." So there's a certain limit.

[25:19]Just because someone is doing something wrong, you're not always obliged to

[25:25]fix that person or fix that thing, especially if it's at the

[25:28]expense of your own soul.

[25:28]So make sure that we are wary of this.

[25:31]We ask Allah subhana wa t'ala to guide us to the straightest

[25:35]of paths and to enlighten our souls to understand what our duty

[25:38]is and to grant us forbearance towards each other, love and compassion

[25:41]and mercy as we wish that Allah subhana t has that over

[25:47]us.

[25:45]Alhamdulillah.

[26:10]Okay, get ready for salah.

[26:14]Allah.
