[0:18][Music] s husin may Allah grant us all his Z in this

[1:06]life and his in the next life illuminate your malalis and hearts

[1:16]with a loud salaat for Muhammad and Al Muhammad respected brothers and

[1:28]sisters tonight I'd like to share a story with you and this

[1:42]story is a non-fiction story it's not just based on a true

[1:51]story but it is indeed itself a TR a true story it's

[2:03]a very short story what happened and the events that I will

[2:10]speak about took no longer than maybe half an hour or an

[2:17]hour but there are so many lessons in the story for us

[2:27]that I can truly say that this story is put potentially lifechanging

[2:34]the story is about a couple a man and a wife that

[2:44]had a beautiful lovely marriage relationship their marriage did not last long

[2:52]unfortunately fact only nine years after those nine years they were separated

[3:03]from each other and during those nine years they left a legacy

[3:17]of a successful marriage that every single one of us can emulate

[3:25]in our lives and that is the story of what's beautiful about

[3:41]the stories of is that they're not just stories for bedtime for

[3:51]us to enjoy even though they are beautiful even though we do

[3:57]enjoy them but what's beautiful about the stories of ah B is

[4:03]the Practical lessons that we can extract from the hadiths from the

[4:08]reports and the stories of B whether it is the sayings the

[4:13]statements or sometimes even the acts of some of these lessons may

[4:22]not be very obvious one would have to look a little deeper

[4:26]read between the lines to extract them but at the end of

[4:34]the day they have left us an ocean of knowledge and lessons

[4:37]like I said this story is no longer than a few lines

[4:42]long but you're able to extract literally without exaggerating hundreds of beautiful

[4:49]LS and I'll just mention some of them it's narrated that one

[4:57]day was outside he was at home home FAA was inside the

[5:04]house and she was sick resting where was IM Ali we can

[5:12]assume that most likely IM Ali was working yes Imam Ali used

[5:18]to work IM aliam for the majority of his life he would

[5:26]work every single day he would put time and effort so that

[5:31]he would make a living now what would the Imam do it's

[5:34]reported that the Imam would either plant trees plants Farm dig Wells

[5:44]and everything related to that in fact if any of you has

[5:51]been to Haj inshallah Allah grants us Hajj and when you go

[5:54]to al- Medina the city of you're about to start your Hajj

[5:59]from there you wear your you go to is the Masjid where

[6:06]we initialize and start our or the area is called you'll even

[6:14]see some signs it's called AB Ali Ali means what the wells

[6:21]of Ali what does that mean that area my friends contains Wells

[6:32]that IM Ali dug 1,400 years ago with his bare hands no

[6:39]tools no machines all by himself and some of them were so

[6:46]large such that that area came to be known as Ali the

[6:48]area where the wells of IM Ali were dug there so IM

[6:56]aliam would spend time working to make a living but someone may

[7:10]ask here but doesn't Imam Ali always spend his time in worship

[7:16]with Allah so if Ali spends his time worshiping Allah then what's

[7:24]all this work for the Dy what's all these Wells and farms

[7:30]and Orchards that the IM himself he didn't just buy no no

[7:35]no he would make an orchard from scratch he would make an

[7:43]entire area of of trees and plants out of out of scratch

[7:52]so wasn't IM aliam spending most of his time on worship yes

[7:57]you see what's beautiful about Islam worship doesn't just have one form

[8:06]or shape worship can come in many forms and styles there's a

[8:10]tradition from where he says there are 70 types of worship or

[8:23]70 sections to worship he says one of them one of those

[8:28]sections one of the types is what is working making a living

[8:35]and he says this is the one that Allah loves the most

[8:39]going out and working is considered as constant worship this is theith

[8:49]ofam and another tradition he's narrated saying the one who spends time

[9:02]trying to make Hal money through his hard work he says the

[9:12]one who tries to make a living he goes out spends his

[9:16]time and effort in a Halal way we have to stress Halal

[9:21]way the prophet sallallah says this individual the doors and the gates

[9:37]of paradise will open widely for that person and Allah will tell

[9:40]him enter from whichever gate you want why because this person is

[9:45]engaging in a form of worship he's pleasing Allah subhanahu wa taala

[9:50]and he's just going to work so this is what's beautiful about

[9:54]Islam is that worship doesn't just come in the form of Prayer

[10:00]Quran Dua yes this is one sort and form of worship that

[10:11]is necessary but the prophet says that just working trying to make

[10:16]a living this Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala counts it as for me

[10:26]Allah subhana tala grants me just because I'm working now why is

[10:34]it considered worship so if I go to my work and I'm

[10:36]just making money and focused on my dun Allah is going to

[10:40]count that as worship how's how does that work yes Allah listen

[10:47]carefully brothers and sisters Allah will count even your work your work

[10:53]hours that you spend as worship if the intention is right what

[11:02]do I mean why do we work brothers and sisters this is

[11:10]a question that sounds very redundant and very obvious right some people

[11:17]work to survive if they don't work they probably cannot live most

[11:22]people here especially in the US that would not apply to them

[11:28]you're not going to die even if you don't work right you're

[11:30]always going to have some family members some government assistants and that

[11:36]will provide the bare minimum so that you can live so do

[11:39]we work to stay alive not here maybe in some poor countries

[11:46]if you don't go out and work you won't even find food

[11:51]but for us trust me just go on the scale and look

[11:53]at how much you wait and you'll realize that you don't really

[11:58]need all that food that you're buying so is why is it

[12:02]that we work then if it's not to stay alive see Islam

[12:09]says when you work your job is a means right to an

[12:14]end what's your goal behind working there should be two main goals

[12:17]if you're able to meet these two goals and to set your

[12:23]intentions on these two things work all you want and Allah will

[12:30]count as worship number one the first reason why we work brothers

[12:35]and sisters is that so we can live with dignity don't just

[12:42]put a period after we can live we can all live on

[12:50]unemployment benefits on welfare on begging on living off our family members

[12:56]and hitch hiking right but is that a respectful life is that

[13:00]a dignified life of course not Allah wants you to live a

[13:06]dignified life you and your family so when my intention to go

[13:15]to work is to preserve my dignity then Allah counts that as

[13:21]worship the Hadith of IM states that exactly IM says in theith

[13:28]I'll read it to you he says the one who goes to

[13:40]work tries to make a living invests does business whatever so that

[13:45]he can preserve the Dignity of himself and his family protect them

[13:49]give them respect in front of people's eyes the Imam says says

[14:02]this individual while he is working he is considered by Allah as

[14:08]greater than the one who's doing J fighting for Allah because this

[14:16]is a form of jihad as well fighting to preserve my dignity

[14:21]and my family's dignity so this is number one when you go

[14:25]to work tomorrow you wake up tell Allah Ya Allah I'm going

[14:29]not because I want to live but because I want to live

[14:38]with dignity Allah considers your work as eight hours of how beautiful

[14:44]is that that's number one number two the problem with this first

[14:49]goal is that many times we're able to live a dignified life

[14:56]with much less than what we make what do I mean how

[15:00]much does a average family of three four need to live a

[15:08]dignified life let's say let's say here in Michigan let's say $60,000

[15:13]$70,000 $80,000 $90,000 right you can live a dignified life anywhere within

[15:25]that bracket so anything that you're making up to that ceiling whatever

[15:33]it is 70 80 90 it's why because without that where do

[15:37]I sleep where does my family sleep how do I pay my

[15:43]bills whatever that is needed to live a dignified life but what

[15:47]happens when you start making more than that a lot of us

[15:52]make more than what we need to live a dignified life and

[15:55]if you want to know if you're one of those people look

[16:00]look at your savings account how much do you have in your

[16:02]savings account how long has it been there if you have 10

[16:07]20 30 50 100 Grand in your savings account and it's been

[16:09]there for a couple of years that means there's a surplus that

[16:13]was money that you did not need to live a dignified life

[16:18]yeah you set it aside for emergencies or whatnot but the point

[16:22]is it's extra so many of us we make more money than

[16:25]we need to live a dignified life I I need to wear

[16:32]decent clothing to live a dignified life but do I need designer

[16:37]brand to live a dignified life no once you go into the

[16:42]world of buying all this expensive stuff it's no longer and I'm

[16:49]not not I'm not just calling it a need I'm going even

[16:51]Beyond need it's a need for a dignified life not the bare

[17:04]minimum when we go and we start splurging and we exceed what

[17:11]we need to live a decent life many times we can't generalize

[17:18]as you know stereotype but many times it's about what it's about

[17:21]either Feeling Good Feeling Good Feeling Rich feeling uh part of an

[17:30]elite group or it's about showing off or else why would I

[17:34]buy a t-shirt that's really probably made in China and worth $5

[17:40]maybe for $100 or $80 or $70 why is it about dignity

[17:47]no it's it's about desire it's about ego most of the time

[17:50]so any money that's extra that I am spending that I'm making

[17:58]or spending that is beyond what is needed to live a dignified

[18:04]life Islam says that that is worshiping the Dy so Subhan Allah

[18:11]you work eight hours a day the first five hours you're worshipping

[18:15]Allah but as soon as you make what you need to live

[18:21]a dignified life from the fifth to the eighth hour the 6th

[18:23]to the e8th hour it all of the sudden switches from worshiping

[18:28]Allah to worshiping the D you're doing the same job why because

[18:33]remember your goal your motive your intention why are you working go

[18:37]home 1 p.m.

[18:39]you have made what is enough for you to live a dignified

[18:44]life let's say that you can leave early or you won't get

[18:47]fired why do you stay those three extra hours I'm not saying

[18:53]it's Haram but we're just saying that it won't be worship so

[18:57]number one whatever you need to live a dignified life all of

[19:04]that is worship it could be 50% 80% of your time whatever

[19:07]number two what if I work beyond that even beyond that brothers

[19:11]and sisters you can make that as how I need $70,000 to

[19:19]live a dignified life I make 200,000 you could also make that

[19:23]how the Surplus the 130 100 whatever you make that is a

[19:31]surplus Islam says invest it in your invest it don't give it

[19:36]away for free no no no no no invest it when you

[19:38]invest in the stock market are you just giving your money away

[19:43]no it's still yours because you're going to benefit in countless ways

[19:47]invest it in your if you do that even those extra hours

[19:53]that you work will become and says that we said he used

[20:03]to work remember throughout his lifetime he was able to earn money

[20:10]through his hard work such that he was able to buy 1,000

[20:14]slaves how many slaves 1,000 and that's a huge amount of money

[20:21]a slave would be probably the price of a car 1,000 slaves

[20:30]he bought why so that he would free them so that he

[20:36]would free them for Allah 1,000 slaves any surplus the IM would

[20:45]make you see the Imam never stopped working the Imam could say

[20:48]okay this is enough for me to eat why all this extra

[20:52]money you know when the Imam died he had so much land

[20:55]property Farms but he WR wrote In His will that everything I

[21:01]am giving and my sons Hassan and Hussein can take whatever they

[21:10]need to live a dignified life from it the rest all goes

[21:15]by doing that brothers and sisters you're not letting go you're just

[21:18]investing it for your so if we're able to do this brothers

[21:24]and sisters number one work for dignity and number two work to

[21:33]invest in your even your work from 8 to four 8 to

[21:35]5 whatever would be all how beautiful is that and then you

[21:40]tell me Islam is a difficult religion so look look at this

[21:47]lesson that Imam Ali teaches us that worship doesn't just come in

[21:51]the form of rituals even your job your work could be wor

[21:54]worship if you have the right attitude mindset and intentions so we

[22:04]said IM Ali is out doing worship working FAA is in the

[22:09]home she was sick the Hadith says why was she sick does

[22:17]not indicate IM Ali comes back home he sees fa is in

[22:24]her bed she's sick he feels the home is gloomy depressing because

[22:31]FAA at this time is usually active taking care of the kids

[22:35]cooking she's taking care of the house or rituals worship so if

[22:40]she finds FAA in bed that means there's a problem so he

[22:45]feels that emptiness in the house he goes to fat and he

[22:52]sees F sick is in pain and Agony he goes to her

[22:58]and he asks her this question he tells her oh my lovely

[23:05]fa what can I buy you what can I bring you from

[23:09]the sweets of this world is there anything that you are craving

[23:14]oh F and just with that sentence teaches us two lessons brothers

[23:21]and sisters about worship once again the f the second lesson so

[23:31]the first was that when you work that could be worship the

[23:34]second lesson when you come home that could also be worship we're

[23:39]not talking about prayer how spend some time with your family members

[23:47]with your wife and kids with your husband and kids if I'm

[23:49]now the wives are working and the husbands are taking care of

[23:54]the kids right spend some time with your spouse and kids Allah

[23:59]considers that as these are not my words traditions of the Prophet

[24:04]the of the Prophet it's a very famous Hadith says if you

[24:12]sit and spend some time with your wife and kids some family

[24:17]time anything that is considered family time you're having food you're having

[24:23]a discussion you're doing anything together he says this is better than

[24:33]doing in the you know is is when you go to a

[24:40]Masjid for 3 Days 72 hours non-stop worship remember like 6 seven8

[24:45]hours imagine 72 hours A lot of people do it the Muslim

[24:51]count sometimes I'll even see some some M here in the US

[24:54]they'll do it sometimes so he says spending time with your your

[24:59]family members with your wife and kids is better is greater in

[25:07]the eyes of Allah than what than doing 72 hours of worship

[25:10]but not here he says in my m the m of why

[25:15]does he say that because the Traditions tell us that two that

[25:19]you pray in the M of are equal to 10,000 raas that

[25:25]you play Pray elsewhere 72 hours of praying multiplied all by 10,000

[25:33]the prophet says go spend it with your wife and kids if

[25:37]it's either or Allah will consider that as what as and then

[25:42]you tell me Islam is a difficult religion I don't know how

[25:48]to be religious I don't know how to please Allah work spend

[25:52]time with your wife and kids is that too hard but let

[25:58]your intention be correct we're all doing this anyway brothers and sisters

[26:03]so why waste the theab you're not going to do anything extra

[26:10]you're just changing your perspective your motives your intentions that's all you're

[26:18]really doing even that is too much for some of us even

[26:21]that no it's too difficult I'm too lazy to change my intention

[26:27]okay you're too lazy to do something but now we're even lazy

[26:31]with our intentions spend some time with your wife and kids now

[26:37]obviously this has become very important this day and age because you

[26:43]find that many of the marriages that have problems today one of

[26:51]the main issues is that they're not spending the wife and husband

[26:57]are not spending enough time with each other I get a lot

[27:02]of appointments throughout the year marriage counseling divorce and whatnot and this

[27:08]is a consistent complaint especially from the wife is that my husband

[27:13]doesn't spend enough time with me work and what work and then

[27:20]sah with his friends or with his family members and there's really

[27:25]no time being given for the wife and the kids you see

[27:30]we said working brothers and sisters is good right Islam considers this

[27:37]as with the two conditions we said but the problem with some

[27:40]of us is that we exaggerate how much we work the amount

[27:44]of hours that we work is disproportionate with relation to the other

[27:51]tasks that we have in life work nobody says don't work in

[27:55]fact the imams and the prophet would discourage people not to stay

[27:58]home go and work but do not be a workaholic why work

[28:03]12 hours a day why and you don't even have a plan

[28:07]what are you going to do with this money once I make

[28:10]it once I reach 1 million then I'll think what to do

[28:16]with it life is too short there's too many things that are

[28:18]dear to us in life 12 hours just for my work so

[28:23]work but take it easy don't be a workaholic leave time for

[28:29]families it's all about time management Islam says manage your time wisely

[28:34]you have to incorporate some time for your family you have to

[28:39]incorporate some time for rituals for I you have to incorporate some

[28:43]time to spend with brothers and sisters in the community there are

[28:47]people that literally you will not see them for an entire month

[28:50]you ask them why work why are you working in this way

[28:57]why who taught you this this is worship of the dun when

[29:01]we become disconnected from everything and our jobs become our gods and

[29:07]we don't even know why we're working so much why to invest

[29:15]in the yeah I'm sure so just be moderate Islam says pleas

[29:24]time for other things so was when he outside the house he's

[29:29]worshiping Allah working when he's inside the house spending time with fa

[29:34]this is also worship this is also a way in which I

[29:39]am pleasing Allah subhanahu waala just try to be balanced in your

[29:42]schedule that's all that Allah subhana TAA wants he doesn't want you

[29:47]to pray the whole day so that's lesson number two two ways

[29:51]that IM Ali shows us how worship is so easy and it's

[29:57]not just ritual s work spend time with your family number three

[30:02]the third lesson that he teaches us here just this is probably

[30:06]just the first line of the Hadith and you see all these

[30:08]lessons the importance brothers and sisters of instilling happiness in the hearts

[30:15]of Believers the traditions of state that there is no act that

[30:26]Allah loves more than making someone happy how do you say make

[30:31]someone happy sometimes it's as simple as a word as a compliment

[30:36]as a sentence that you uplift somebody's Spirit IMI comes to she's

[30:43]sick he's not a doctor he can't really do much but the

[30:50]least thing he can do is uplift her spirits so that the

[30:52]difficulties and The Agony and the pain of her sickness would be

[30:57]easy Eed a little so he ask you this basic question what

[31:00]can I go get you can I buy you anything do you

[31:06]crave anything this is the most simple thing you can do but

[31:09]Allah loves this more than anything there's a tradition from IM where

[31:14]he says on the day of judgment when you are resurrected from

[31:18]your grave you see that with you Rises a figure that figure

[31:23]tells you hold my hand and follow me there are 50 stat

[31:28]on the day of judgment he will take you through every single

[31:31]station when you see everybody is panicking is anxious they don't know

[31:36]what's going on what's going to happen to them they're about to

[31:40]be tried this figure says don't worry just follow me you follow

[31:42]him follow him follow him until he takes you to the gates

[31:47]of paradise when you're there he says go inside you ask him

[31:50]are you an angel Allah sent you to do this for me

[31:55]are you an Imam he says no I am your act your

[31:56]Good Deed that you did what do you mean remember in the

[32:01]dya you made someone happy one day when they were having a

[32:04]miserable day and you made their day through a statement by spending

[32:09]some time with them by giving them some advice by telling them

[32:13]let's go have some coffee sometimes financially helping them but the least

[32:18]thing is a nice word that you said you made that person

[32:22]happy Allah that happiness that you that happiness that you placed in

[32:29]the heart of that person Allah has brought that happiness in this

[32:35]form to help you and save you on the day of judgment

[32:37]an average ordinary believer make them happy Allah will make you happy

[32:43]on the day of judgment this is an ordinary believer imagine if

[32:51]she is the greatest woman of all time where the Prophet says

[32:57]whoever pleases her has pleased me has pleased Allah subhanahu waala something

[33:01]as simple as a word a statement im as this is lesson

[33:10]number three a third way you can worship Allah without ever praying

[33:13]now you have to pray when it's Salah time right but I'm

[33:16]saying these are ways that we can worship Allah subhah wa taala

[33:23]and it's not through the normal rituals work with the two conditions

[33:28]spend time with your family and number three make someone happy is

[33:32]it too difficult to make tell someone a joke as long as

[33:38]it's a Halal joke right do a prank on someone as long

[33:40]as it's one of those peaceful pranks not the violent ones and

[33:46]you make someone laugh Allah will allow you to enter Paradise because

[33:51]of that joke because of that peaceful prank that you you did

[33:58]if you made that person happy what a beautiful lesson this is

[34:02]lesson number three three ways to worship Allah we learn from IMI

[34:08]and so asked what can I get you what do you crave

[34:16]oh daughter of rasool and it seems from this tradition that she

[34:28]was reluctant to reply why because FAA had a habit where she

[34:39]never she never wanted to burden Imam Ali with anything only when

[34:45]it was necessary even when he asks her she's hesitant she's reluctant

[34:51]the Imam has to insist oh daughter of rasool Allah I ask

[34:57]you for the sake of maybe the IM would have to invoke

[35:01]the name of so FAA is reluctant that IM would have to

[35:06]insist she does not want to burden IM Ali and this is

[35:14]one of the this is one of the qualities of a believer

[35:16]that IM Ali himself mentions in that beautiful where he speaks about

[35:23]the traits and the qualities of the pious the righteous one of

[35:31]their qualities is this the believer is means they're very light they're

[35:37]not heavy on you they're not high maintenance they're not always expecting

[35:41]you to do this and do that they they're very [Music] light

[35:49]but they help a lot and there's one letter difference in the

[35:56]actual letters but in the meaning there's a huge difference you help

[36:00]a lot but you do not ask other people to help unless

[36:02]you're in need this is a quality of a Believer meaning you

[36:08]give more than you take you give more than you expect from

[36:12]others this is a selfless human being and this was she would

[36:20]give everything to IM Ali but even one small request from Imam

[36:27]was too difficult for her so in the end after IM Ali

[36:38]insists says well because you're insisting there is one thing I do

[36:44]crave what is it she says I want a pomegranate if you

[36:48]can get me one the IM is so happy that FAA has

[36:52]made this request he goes out to the market and he realizes

[36:57]but the pomegranate is too expensive and now you can't afford it

[37:07]pomegranates back then were a delicacy they were not something that everybody

[37:11]could buy all the time even this day and age sometimes I

[37:17]go to some stores I see some signs in the grocery store

[37:20]each pomegranate for like $6 can you believe that $6 for one

[37:28]pomegranate $7 some of the more the bigger ones right if you

[37:34]want an organic non GMO and I don't know what probably $8

[37:38]$9 so even today pomegranates are not you know they're one of

[37:44]the most expensive fruits probably out there so Ali says he can

[37:47]he sees he can't afford it he decides to do what to

[37:55]borrow some money to take a loan just so he makes FAA

[37:59]happy even though he knew FAA didn't really want the pomegranate it

[38:05]was because he insisted he insisted and said okay Allah if you

[38:07]want to give me something give me a pomegranate but look at

[38:11]the love between IM and this is not something brothers and sisters

[38:18]that we have to see only in Hollywood and on TV and

[38:23]it it's all fake and acting IM Ali and live that beautiful

[38:26]lifestyle and they didn't do it through Miracles it's not like they

[38:30]were doing all these mysterious Supernatural things such that they live such

[38:36]a beautiful lovely life no very simple very simple instructions and steps

[38:42]that they took that every single one of us can do in

[38:49]our lives so he takes a loan he borrows money he buys

[38:53]that pomegranate he's so happy F has made Al's Day allahar by

[38:59]buying her a pomegranate have you ever heard of such a marriage

[39:07]brothers and sisters that when the wife asked the husband to buy

[39:11]her something she's made his day he's so happy that he got

[39:23]that pomegranate but that can only come brothers and sisters if the

[39:27]wife is is it constantly burdening the husband the other day I

[39:33]saw this picture it's a joke but even though it's a joke

[39:36]but it is reflecting a real problem that exists between a lot

[39:41]of paired couple there's a man standing outside of Costco how many

[39:44]of you saw it and he's holding one of those paper cardboard

[39:49]papers and you know like Beggars how they do it and he

[39:55]says I need help not because I'm a beggar or poor but

[39:59]because my wife has my credit card and she's in Costco and

[40:01]she's been in Costco for two hours so she won't leave without

[40:07]me having to declare bankruptcy if that's my relationship with my husband

[40:13]if I ask him for something that's worth 50 cents he's going

[40:19]to be irritated right but with fa when she never ask anything

[40:25]from not because she doesn't want or need anything but because doesn't

[40:33]like burdening anyone anyone then would run to go and bring something

[40:41]for it would be the most beautiful thing in the world for

[40:46]fa to say I want you to buy me something he brings

[40:52]the pomegranate he's on his way coming to the house he sees

[40:56]a beggar this beggar is crying and weeping and asking for help

[41:03]he sees finally Allah sent you I need some help I've been

[41:06]here begging for days nobody's giving me anything and then it seems

[41:10]like he saw that pomegranate the pomegranat that IM Ali had bought

[41:15]for fa he says can you give me half of that pomegranate

[41:20]half of it all of it I'm so hungry IM Ali finds

[41:25]himself in a dilemma now why doesn't know what to do because

[41:31]if he gives this for this poor person he'll go back to

[41:39]FAA empty-handed he can never do that but if he denies this

[41:44]man if he keeps it for fa that means he will deny

[41:46]this hungry man and keep him there and he had nothing else

[41:49]to give him so he's in a dilemma he doesn't know what

[41:55]to do you and I brothers and sisters have constant dilemas every

[41:59]day we don't know which fruit to eat first which to eat

[42:04]second we don't know should we slice it or should we peel

[42:10]it should we swallow it in one bite or five bites these

[42:15]are the dilemas that we have when we want to eat right

[42:20]how many of us come across this type of dilemma it's not

[42:24]IE or the poor person not even that do I give this

[42:31]to the poor person or do I go and give it to

[42:35]my spouse who requested this basic thing from me allahar these were

[42:41]the hardest tests for IM Al when you have that much knowledge

[42:49]andk this becomes your greatest challenge in life but IM aliam likewise

[43:00]had a habit but he that he would never ever deny anybody

[43:03]who would beg or ask him and especially if it was for

[43:10]food listen carefully especially if he was asked for food never not

[43:14]just IM Ali all the imams of do you know why it's

[43:18]not just because he was generous yes obviously there's a lot of

[43:21]generous people there's more than just being generous IM Ali would never

[43:26]say no to someone that would ask him for anything specifically food

[43:32]because of this fact I'll mention it through this Hadith a man

[43:37]came to the prophet one day and he told him y Allah

[43:41]Sometimes some people come and ask us especially you know it's it's

[43:43]Beggars or people that are used to asking what's my obligation the

[43:52]prophet said your obligation is if that person's hungry you feed him

[43:55]you feed her you give them money to to buy food that's

[43:57]your obligation how did the man reply he replied by saying but

[44:03]sometimes some of these people that beg they're not truthful meaning they're

[44:11]not really hungry and that desperate they're just greedy so I'm afraid

[44:15]that I give that money and it turns out to be that

[44:17]this person is what is not a truthful person who's asking you

[44:23]know what the pro Prophet tells him the Prophet tells him you're

[44:29]afraid that you may give that money and he'll turn out to

[44:33]be a liar said yeah he said but aren't you afraid that

[44:38]if you deny him he may turn out to be truthful I

[44:45]get it you're afraid that if he's a liar I've given someone

[44:53]who doesn't deserve that money that's one fear but what about the

[44:56]other fear what if he was truthful and you denied him aren't

[45:00]you afraid of that and the point that the prophet is illustrating

[45:04]is if someone ask you for food May if it's up to

[45:09]$50 and you gave that person the money and he didn't buy

[45:11]food what did you lose why are you afraid you lost nothing

[45:15]Allah will give you the reward you will reap the benefits of

[45:19]s which which gives you protection from harm it prolongs your life

[45:23]and Allah will give you the reward for it even if that

[45:28]person went and bought whatever if you don't know right you give

[45:30]that person the benefit of the doubt and worst case what you

[45:35]lost 20 30 40 bucks that won't break the bank so why

[45:38]are you even afraid but however so the risk is very low

[45:42]but the risk on the other side meaning if it turns out

[45:48]that this person was truthful and I deny that person is much

[45:51]much bigger the prophet said If you deny a truthful person someone

[45:57]who's really hungry then Allah may take away his favors from you

[46:04]it's not Haram remember if I'm if I paid my w my

[46:10]my Z this is this is extra I don't have to pay

[46:15]any person that comes and asks me for food I don't have

[46:16]to give them you don't have to and Allah doesn't have to

[46:21]keep on blessing you does he does he Allah says look you

[46:25]want me to continue my blessings that's the minimum I request for

[46:30]you never deny someone that's hungry so the prophet says the risk

[46:35]on the other side is greater that's why anytime someone asked they

[46:39]would give them why because even if there's 1% chance that this

[46:42]person is truthful it's not worth the risk when Allah is so

[46:49]generous with me his bouns never stop I have to all be

[46:54]the same way with other people and you know there's a it's

[46:59]a long story I'll quickly mention it there's a story about this

[47:02]that Abu hamali narrates the companion that narrates the Dua of Abu

[47:06]Hamza in Ramadan he says one day I went to pray with

[47:10]IM Z it was Friday he says I noticed the Imam told

[47:14]one of his servants that today is Friday whoever comes and asks

[47:20]for anything give them something do not reject anybody so Abu Hamza

[47:25]said yeah yeah IM oh anybody that comes and asks no vetting

[47:29]no questions what if they come they're wearing a uh a Gucci

[47:35]t-shirt you're still going to give him the IM says anybody I

[47:37]don't care says why he says because I'm afraid if I deny

[47:42]someone and they turn out to be truthful what happened to the

[47:45]family of Y will happen to me Abu Hamza said what happened

[47:50]to the family of yak he told him that y was a

[47:55]very generous man the prophet every day he'd slaughter a sheep he

[47:59]had a huge family they would eat there's always something remaining he

[48:03]would give it to whoever comes and asks one night a man

[48:05]by the name of the came and he knocked the door and

[48:09]he asked for food y didn't hear he was sleeping or whatnot

[48:12]and his sons were distracted he kept on knocking and knocking and

[48:18]he was starving he came to the house ofo Allah the messenger

[48:21]of Allah but nobody opened the door he left with a broken

[48:27]heart he raised his hand says Ya Allah I came to your

[48:29]messenger y just for some food and they denied me even though

[48:35]they all ate and they had some extra food and I will

[48:36]have to sleep with an empty stomach that same night Allah hasel

[48:44]revealed to Y oh your family has made a big mistake by

[48:52]Sleeping with a full stomach and the me that poor man came

[48:58]he was truthful he was hungry he was starving and you didn't

[49:03]give him anything Allah told him because of that there will be

[49:08]some changes in your life some of the good things that you

[49:11]were used to will be taken away from you it was not

[49:13]it was not a sin he didn't do anything Haram but Allah

[49:18]decided to to take away some of the good things that same

[49:23]night IM says Yousef saw that dream have you read Surah YF

[49:37]when he told his father about his dream that he saw the

[49:42]planets the stars and the moon and the sun doing sujud to

[49:43]him his father told him don't tell this to your brothers because

[49:48]of EnV and then every all hell was broken loose IM said

[49:52]that dream youf saw that night and the the tragedies began to

[50:00]unfold the next day all of that was sparked by what because

[50:06]that man slept hungry and he was denied from the house of

[50:11]so says that's why I'm always alert whoever comes to my door

[50:17]I run that shows us brothers and sisters to change your perspective

[50:22]you know what this story proves you need the beggar more than

[50:27]he needs you do you understand what I'm saying I need the

[50:32]person who ask let's not call him a beggar someone who asks

[50:38]I need that person more than he needs me why because if

[50:41]I reject that person Allah May it's not 100% but Allah may

[50:47]take away those good things from me right but if he he

[50:55]is rejected right he can always go to someone else I rejected

[51:00]him he'll go to you you rejected him he has so many

[51:01]people but if I reject that person who do I go to

[51:08]then Allah it's Allah that I've angered here so anytime someone asks

[51:12]you for help especially if it's the basic needs of Life Trust

[51:16]Me brothers and sisters I am doing myself a favor by helping

[51:22]that individual going back to the story of IM Ali why couldn't

[51:26]the Im Just walk pass by that person because the IM understood

[51:32]the importance of he understood that this is one of the greatest

[51:36]forms of worship to give food to someone that asks you for

[51:41]food so he couldn't say no he took the whole pomegranate and

[51:43]he gave it to that man what a beautiful this is lesson

[51:49]number four you want to worship Allah it doesn't have to be

[51:52]in the Masjid it could be by sharing some of the benefit

[51:55]factions of Allah some of the good things Allah gave you share

[51:59]it with other people but now he comes back home the Hadith

[52:06]says as soon as Subhan Allah the very first minute that gave

[52:15]that pomegranate to that poor man Allah brought down his shifa and

[52:20]Recovery upon FAA spontaneously because the shifa is from Allah the Imam

[52:28]gave the pomegranate and FAA was cured right away Imam Ali comes

[52:33]to the house he's so disappointed he's embarrassed because he came empty-handed

[52:37]he sees FAA is no longer sick she's smiling she's happy she

[52:43]comes to him she tells him yeah Ali I know you're disappointed

[52:45]but do not be because I am happier knowing that you came

[52:50]empty-handed I am happier knowing that you gave that because that way

[52:57]you get the best of this world and the next world she

[52:59]receive sh and the reward is safe for you for the how

[53:05]many of us brothers and sisters are that lucky to have a

[53:08]spouse that greets Us in this way that greets me by encouraging

[53:17]me to do more good to give more s versus is just

[53:21]about me me me why didn't you buy me this why didn't

[53:26]you buy me that remember the other day a husband and wife

[53:30]came or afan the wife came without the husband and she was

[53:35]complaining about the husband that he's not providing financially what is enough

[53:40]for her and she was especially especially upset at the fact that

[53:49]this man sends $200 every month to his father she wants me

[53:52]to talk to him to divert the money to her instead of

[53:57]the father so denying your wife if she's right this is wrong

[54:08]but do two wrongs make a right so let him deny his

[54:12]own father and what he's just providing $200 and that $200 is

[54:15]a big deal in the Middle East instead of encouraging him discouraging

[54:21]him from doing that okay you want to find somewhere that he

[54:26]can save cancel Netflix make him cancel his Netflix and Hulu and

[54:32]I don't know what why that $200 that he's giving for his

[54:37]father this is the relationship brothers and sisters that Allah hasel loves

[54:44]the one where the husband and wife both encourage each other to

[54:48]do good and this is exactly what Ali and had each one

[54:54]of them would constantly encourage the other to do what's right to

[54:59]do what's good to think about the greater goal versus just me

[55:02]me me me selfishness brothers and sisters even from the husband's side

[55:07]many times the husband is selfish if the wife works I've seen

[55:14]this the husband doesn't want to spend anymore let her spend on

[55:17]the kids let her spend on the house let her let her

[55:20]or there's even some husband who when the wife starts to work

[55:26]he wants to control every every single penny dollar that she wants

[55:32]that she has that she can spend it's all about greed it's

[55:36]all about me the Hadith of the Prophet says when you get

[55:47]married brothers and sisters 50% of your religion is complete why why

[55:55]is that it's because supposedly ideally you have married someone that will

[56:02]C that will act as a constant reminder for you to remember

[56:07]Allah to serve Allah to give this is the marriage brothers and

[56:15]sisters that Allah subhanahu wa taala loves this is what we're supposed

[56:22]to look for when I'm looking for a spouse one of the

[56:25]things to consider is will this person be a good partner for

[56:29]me to seek nearness to Allah subhah wa ta'ala if I want

[56:34]to embark on a spiritual trip is this the right person or

[56:38]no how many people think in this way this is the marriage

[56:42]that will make you happy brothers and sisters and that's why you

[56:47]see was devastated when he lost FAA she was only 18 years

[56:57]old she got sick again but only this time she was never

[57:01]cured her health got worse and worse until lost and he was

[57:10]completely devastated she left a bruise in the heart of am when

[57:17]she died that would never ever that would never be cured and

[57:24]that's why said those famous lines about fa these lines that contain

[57:29]absolutely no exaggeration he eulogized her in a way that I think

[57:37]rarely any man or woman can eulogize their partner in this way

[57:40]when she died he said he says wall throughout her life I

[57:57]can testify that FAA never ever she never ever made me angry

[58:04]she never disobeyed me even though I would never order her to

[58:08]do anything she never said no to anything I asked and she

[58:14]never made me angry or upset and on the contrary he says

[58:19]and I also I never angered her and I never forced her

[58:25]to do anything anything against her will and then he says these

[58:31]beautiful words he says he says when I used to come home

[58:39]I'm tired you come with stress I would look at the holy

[58:50]face of one look and I would forget all my stress all

[58:53]that negativity and stress and Agony it would all be diffused with

[58:58]one look at the face of Fatima this brothers and sisters is

[59:05]a spouse that every single human being dreams of and this does

[59:09]not come through any materialistic items brothers and sisters it comes through

[59:14]the ways that I mentioned by not being selfish by thinking about

[59:20]others by being an agent to assist your partner and getting closer

[59:27]to Allah subhah wa tala I come home all I need is

[59:32]to look at the face of fa I forget all my pain

[59:33]all my stress so now that FAA was gone where does IM

[59:39]Ali go how does he let go of all that stress after

[59:44]fa that's why life was so difficult for him to continue it

[59:50]wasn't just about love between him and F it was much more

[59:55]than that FAA gave him the comfort that he needed to live

[60:02]every single day so now when life got more difficult and became

[60:10]more painful was left without that pillar fa without fa being there

[60:17]with him for for him supporting him that's why when he buried

[60:21]her and he stood on her grave he said these heartbreaking words

[60:33][Music] [Music] he says that my my soul is trapped in my

[60:57]body my soul wishes that it could leave and depart this world

[61:04]because of how much I as [Music] f [Music] oh my lovely

[61:50]father this life has no worth after you I don't want to

[61:58]live after youb this is the man that would withstand the greatest

[62:06]of enemies the strongest of strikes the man that would never falter

[62:12]and fall but when he lost FAA he wished that he would

[62:17]die with FAA he didn't want to continue to live after FAA

[62:21]anymore he says the only reason I cry is because I'm afraid

[62:25]my life will be too long because the only way for me

[62:31]to be reunited with my lovely FAA is if I die if

[62:33]I die and joy he would stand on the grave of he

[63:09]would call [Music] her oh the love of my heart it is

[63:25]not like you for me to call you but you do not

[63:32]answer me why is it that I am calling my Lov Z

[63:33]but you are not answer me but you do not answer me

[63:38]is it because oh Z that you are buried 6 feet under

[63:45]it is it because of Z that they broke your ribs is

[63:54]it because Z that they attacked you and beat you from every

[63:59]side is it because of that your soul is no longer in

[64:10]your body and thus you cannot answer me my lovely Z almost

[64:16]died out of Agony over the grave of fa and IM Hussein

[64:24]says I I remember I was a young child I remember how

[64:30]my father would wipe the tears of his cheek when he was

[64:33]sitting on the grave of but there was no one to come

[64:38]and console him because he only had two pillars that could console

[64:42]him that had died only a few months ago and now his

[64:47]second pillar [Music] was that's why he said he said the fact

[65:02]that I lost my two greatest supporters and within a few months

[65:10]as the greatest testimony that this D is worthless is the greatest

[65:18]testimony that no friendship or companionship is eternal everything will come to

[65:26]an end
