Baltimore, I'm not going to say which is better, but hamdulillah, you know, and he was just asking if he took anything from my topic and, in fact, he took a lot from my topic, but at the same time I think about this whole concept of justice and It's good because I actually have a lecture tonight, inshallah, to add on why God does certain things, so I don't have to address that part of the lecture right now and she will be the topic right now, but I think If we approach it purely from a Seattle perspective, that is, by studying the biography of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, then we learn a lot about the concept of justice and how justice was viewed by the Prophet, peace be upon him, and for the Companions that surrounded him, number one.

I thought that was very powerful subhanAllah when I read that he said: you know, you know and think about it, you don't really need a text to justify that statement, you know you want to be rich you don't actually complain that life is unfair when things things are going well for you when you have your house when you have your car when you have your career when you have your education when you have your money it doesn't matter that life is unfair, in fact you can very easily quote the ayat from the Quran about patience and that kind of things and say yes you know it is a loss to take care of them and there is a greater purpose for them at home we did it we should all say it limited it we should all be happy it is not that there is no problem when it is unfair in your favor it is a problem when you feel that you are bringing out the bad part, you know again, it is so subjective that I will share it with you a whole personal experience I had someone in my office in my message three years ago and I try not to give too many details because thanks to YouTube I have gotten into a lot problems in recent years for telling stories without saying names and then that person sees it on YouTube and I get in trouble so I'll try not to be too detailed and what I say, but one of the things you know that happened for six years like magnet in New Orleans is that I was exposed or I was exposed to the real problems that we have as a community and also how superficial and superficial we are as people and you know, I had this brother in my office and I was crying and I was wondering why is he , You know?

I thought something tragic happened in his life and you know he lost his job or something happened but instead you know what he's talking about he's saying you know life has been difficult recently he

live

s in a really nice house mashallah big car very rich very Rico has several kids he says life has been difficult lately you know and you know that things are getting very difficult and he said but I don't know, you know sometimes I question a lot I said oh you know, the rescue, what's going on, start telling me , he says you know, every year I take my kids to Europe on vacation, he said, this year I don't have enough money to take my kids to Europe on summer vacation, what am I supposed to tell my kids when they come to me? and tell me?
Dad, why don't we go anywhere this summer? That was his crisis of faith for him, life was unfair and I'm sitting there looking at it and what else happened, but for him, that's life being unfair and what does that show you again? It is a mentality, there is a very powerful hadith, the hadith is in Sahih Muslim tonight. I did it for Abdul of Naaman, also the Aloha and, if my memory serves me correctly, I think he is from our beloved nominal house, that's why I hate Muslims, prophets. licenses but a defect Hammond Islamic has indeed succeeded who has submitted sure I spoke of the part of aslam he presented himself is a prerequisite for everything that comes next in the hadith but a defect Hammond as Lama carried Rosita kathan and they gave him enough katha means that he is given enough and listen to the last part of the hadith, keep walking now Allah, whoever Mata and Allah subhana WA Ta'ala convinced him or satisfied him with what he gave him, so what do you shows that these two that these two? the things just mentioned don't always come together, they may give you enough, but you are not convinced with what you have and you are not satisfied with what you have, so the Prophet cuts off, they tell me, the one who really has success. and the one who is really happy in life is the one who has submitted, the one who has achieved that peace through Islam, he received enough and Allah satisfied him with what he gave him.
Allah convinced him, you can literally be convinced that it is not Riddler, it is not necessarily satisfaction or contentment, it is literally looking at yourself and saying it hummed, but you know this is good, this is great and when you look at the Prophet, peace be with him, the Prophet, peace be upon him, went through many stages in his life. and that's why I say we can justify this through a sowing perspective. A magnet should be particularly Mahalo. It says that the Prophet, peace be upon him, was tested in every phase of life. He was tested richly with Lena.
He was rich. Salalah Hardy. he wa sallam was rich after marrying Khadijah Johan uh until the moment he received his revelation he was a rich man he became a rich man and passed the test of wealth that's what he said well axonify Lena passed the test from a Lena, how did you pass the test? Lena because when he was rich, what did he do? He freed slaves, he took care of orphans, he didn't become arrogant as a result of his wealth, his personality didn't change at all. The Prophet (peace be upon him) did not change as a result of being rich and, in fact, those were the words that Hadith on permission and shared with the Prophet (peace be upon him) when he came down from his head, all logic, Allah, whoever Allah.
I will never humiliate you because look at all the great things you do, you know you do well with orphans, your guests, your neighbors and your family, you behave well with people, you do what you are supposed to do and Khadija has been rich . more than the Prophet, peace be upon him, she knows that most of the rich are snobs, they don't do such things, he passed that test, so the amount of quota to say, Allah stripped him of everything and He tried poverty, absolute poverty. The prophet, peace be upon him, experienced poverty in its worst form, not only did he experience poverty from a financial perspective, but you truly know that one sheikh zayed mentioned that everything was taken from him, everything was taken from him, his wife, his uncle, his protection, all his support from his tribe his land his home I mean they took everything from him and he said that the Prophet (peace be upon him) passed the test of poverty accent if he Salah why didn't he listen he passed that proves why because he showed beautiful patience he demonstrated truly sub-1 Zameen beautiful patience not only was he patient because he had to be patient he demonstrated a satisfaction with God a contentment with God and the only thing that mattered to him in those moments of poverty was that God did not What he disliked was that poverty was not a manifestation of a loss, because sometimes you question yourself in poverty and that is an error of mentality, it is an error in the way we think, sometimes it is called the doctrine of prosperity, almost all religions in the world have some form.
From the doctrine of prosperity it is okay, whether it is Eastern religions and Hinduism, the caste system or even in evangelical or current Christianity, that when God loves you or any divine presence loves you, you are rich and when God does not love you. love, then You are not doing very well, but Islam preaches exactly the opposite, when Allah loves you, it tests you when Allah loves you. The prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam said that Allah withholds water, withholds the world from you in the same way that one would deny water to someone who has a fever, which means that someone who is sick with that particular disease thinks that Do you know or does he want that water, do you know, if you know well, I mean if you have seen a woman in childbirth, right? sisters those of you who went through childbirth and brothers those of you who saw women going through childbirth and we are terrified and we thought his wife would kill them, at that moment you know when a woman really wants to drink water and you know.
I remember being put in that situation. I don't want to go too far into details but my wife really wanted water and the nurse said no and my wife looked at me like I was going to listen to the nurse like this is a pretty awkward situation for me right now she really wants to. that water at that moment, you really know when you are sick and the prophets lie, son, he said, allow the dunya to retain you in the same way you would retain the water of your sub- topic of your person who is sick who has that fever in that moment, which means that he returns to addictions, do not wait long to feed your addictions to dunya and it is for your own good, thus the believer recognizes even in his poverty that when Allah with the withholdings that he gives, gives you something greater than what held you back and that is exactly what happened to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and then he said that the Prophet (peace be upon him) was put in a state of lcff HFF means simply having enough literally enough to survive and the Prophet SAW said in his calf enough to survive would have been considered poverty for any of us what the Prophet

live

d through, salallahu alaihe wasalam, would have been considered poverty for any of us, he never We had two meals a day, did Wouldn't we consider poverty to be absolute unless it said that we never had two meals a day, except that one of them was dates and water, that is, it wasn't really a meal, we only had a few? the dates and water would go on for months without any smoke coming from the Prophet's house, which means he did not have a cooked meal, he never enjoyed good bread, a good loaf of bread, that is poverty for us prophets, license the house, his, her, Joe, you know.
The apartments in which the prophet's son lived were so small that when he did sujood when he prostrated, he would hit ISA on the legs so that she could move her legs up so that he would have enough room to do so. He is prostrate, if any of us saw that we would tell him that that is poverty, that was enough and you know, the surprising thing is that the prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, was satisfied with what he had, but you know what some of the Companions. I thought, hey, that's not fair, so I'm going to be the total Futaba, ah, I know when you walk into the prophet's house of leave and see the son of the prophet's life getting up from his bed and his bed are just some branches with leather and you know and see the marks on the prophet's license back he starts to cry and the prophet's license says why are you crying and what he almost says says I've seen the palaces of Kiss Lon I've seen the palaces of Kiss LA and of Persia and of Caesar in Rome I have seen how other kings live and you deserve better than that.
What is Alma saying to the Prophet? So I put forward that this is not fair. You shouldn't live as if this life isn't fair to you. you should and have to live like this you are the greatest man in the world you are the prophet sallallahu he was created and all of us would agree thatwe would want him to live a better life in this world, right, we would have wanted him to have more peace of mind and it's really interesting because put yourself in the prophets why some shoes at that time the prophet saw some they didn't say it um that's cool, yeah, you guys should probably do something about it now that you're upset about it, why don't you go build me a house or something?
The prophets, like me, said, um, it says to Alma and a total block, are you not satisfied like Elohim with dunya? What a theorem! They have the dunya, they have this materialistic world and we have the hereafter with complete conviction. Look, the prophet's object says it all. Mom, don't think that life has been unfair to me. You're worried about me. I'm fine. I am happy and in fact the prophets gave him permission. He used to ask for this. I didn't use to ask Allah subhana WA Ta'ala for much. I used to say Allah Masha Allah muhammadun quota.
This is in sahih al-bukhari oh Allah. Give Muhammad why Salim and his family enough. I used to ask Allah lcff. You know, many times when we talk about Robina Athena, the dunya has no speed, it has no peanuts. I'm going to burst your bubble. I have to do it. Burst your bubble because this verse is used in my and IMHO sometimes in an inappropriate context asking Allah for the dunya Rubin and Athena for the dunya has no fin Aphrodite has no key anything, but not because Allah certainly answered those who do not ask for anything from this world, they simply think that we only want to listen after an hour of asceticism.
The ode in this religion is not one that requires poverty or torture on our part, so Allah taught that it is asking for the good of this. world and the good of the hereafter and to protect us from the punishment of hellfire, but this is what is husana in dunya is husana in dunya an incredibly large house an incredibly large house is hasma in dunya that perfect you know that the attractive spouse the One that you always wanted is that what does not have in dunya is not Imam Hasan al Basri Rahim hopefully, he said to the husana fado nia le munafa, what is of paya.
I bet goodness in this world is what prophets like some taught us to ask for every morning and every night early manaphy our beneficial knowledge this is from this dunya true this is good this is also good for you in this world beneficial knowledge what is fun don't miss Cathy Allah pure sustenance of Hannah that is good that is satisfying that has blessing within that sustains us that takes care of us that does not involve anything forbidden why the man what is a cappella and accepted acts then two of the things of two of the three things that even fall within a third of the equation of what You are asking Allah that you are still based on Al Qaeda, that it is still based on the right of the afterlife, so ask Allah for it. enough to be in a state of katha, to be in a state where you are satisfied with having that mentality.
Canara, who is angry. Allah has given you enough and satisfied you with it so that you are not constantly looking around and if there was anyone who could claim that he did not have his fair share in life, it was the Prophet who cut him off, I mean him. I buried six of seven children. Well, I can't even imagine the pain of burying one of my children. May Allah protect us and our families. Ilana. I mean, I can't understand that pain. I can understand a lot of pain. I can not understand. that pain I really can't and can't understand the Prophet, so Selim had to go to the Genesis of six of the seven children and bury them himself, that's painful.
I mean, anyone else would have lost their sanity, I mean, afterwards. With the second child, you know you could lose your sanity, some people after the first, that's hard, but he didn't claim that life wasn't fair to him and he didn't want his peers to see life as unfair to him, but instead he changed the mentality, he changed the priorities of the companions and that is why it is interesting that even the companions who complained that life was unfair did not complain that life was unfair in the dunya, we feel that they complained that life was unfair.
It was unfair in Acula's sense. I mean when the poor companions came to the Prophet? So I said, "I must complain about the rich fellows." They did not tell Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. It is not fair that we pray as they pray or they pray as we do. pray that they fast like we fast, we do everything they do, but they can live in these nice houses, what were they complaining about, they get all the good works, why, because they have money to give charity, it's incredible, as if they don't know would have happened to them. them and the couch, you don't even once see the people who lived behind the Muslims who were really poor, you don't see them coming up to the Prophet and cutting them off and saying, "Hey, I'm Abu Hurairah, as good and great a companion as I am." , you know how they live like this and I have to live like this, even Roby rybnik, Arab and Islamic, who is the Prophet, so I said, I said, ask me, do you have a blank check, can you?
Imagine if the Prophet Slicin was in front of you and meet the prophets, why some are not a fictitious blue genie, he is the prophet of Allah and says suddenly ask me anything and Ribeira is a young homeless bachelor, think about that and say Loretha Kotik. your company in paradise that's all the prophets lie some say anything else true it's a fact you know you're my companion you know I love you clearly I love you and for Matt he didn't mean depth we already know it's an established concept in our religion you're with the person you love, you'll be fine with that in that sense, anything else you know, you sure don't want me to give you a wife or a house, anything else, Robbie, I said, that's it.
All I want is for the poor companions, when they came to the Prophet, to cut them off and complain about the rich companions they had, complaining about their worldly situation, they were upset because they thought they had more money than us, which they did and gave more . because you have more to give, then Prophet Slicin told you what you know, let me teach you something with which you can give sadaqa and say subhanAllah hamdulillah. It is illogical that the memories we make after prayer, the poor companions were moved. they had something, then they went back to the Prophet, cut them off and they complained again because the rich companions found out about it and they were also doing that now and they still had the son, they still had the influence of charity to give charity and that's when the portion of profits and I'm sad.
Lika fought Lola I teehee my Asha that is Allah Subhan Allah's generosity to Anna and he gives it to whoever he wants, I mean what do you see if they are so rich and that is what they still are. motivated towards them they are the exception they are not the norm because you know what most people in paradise are they are poor it is a fact the portion of profits and I am established there is no wealth it is not discouraged in our religion there are no rich companions about Beckett or the law and who is a rich man, you know the greatest of the Companions, but the prophets lie, some said that most of the people of paradise are poor people, because most of the people when they become rich become arrogant and proud. a result of that and that is why wealth is a greater test than poverty wealth is a greater test than poverty because we understand things in the absolute sense our understanding of equity and justice is not limited to the years we Let us have on earth wealth is a greater test than poverty and on the day of judgment it is a greater test than poverty and the prophets lie sometimes they said that even the rich who enter Jenna would enter Jannah and this is also an essay here that they would enter paradise for five hundred years. after the poor cathetus souad because they have to answer more questions, they have more to account for, so the fact of the matter is that Naboo can be subtly.
Heidi with Heidi was the shadow of Allah. I will test you with ease and with Difficulties are fitna and that is a means of testing for you, so yes, life may not seem fair, but Allah is fair. Allah is just. Life may not be fair. God is always just and that is why Allah tells lies. You can leave Allah. Nafsan illa wa salla Allah. does not burden you more than you can bear Allah does not burden you more than you can bear Allah does not burden a soul beyond its reach Prophet SAW Elam could handle six out of seven children in janazah, can we not?
I can't, it's okay, Allah tests you according to your circumstances and burdens you only according to your reach and let's face it, there are people in this world who have overcome enormous challenges of poverty, of medical challenges, right of economic challenges, people who have overcome enormous challenges. do amazing things in this world because they didn't wait for life to be fair and that's just that's the harsh reality is that life won't wait for you to adjust your thinking, it's okay to have a boost of self esteem. estimate that it will come to you when it comes to you you have to be prepared for it and you have to adjust your way of thinking and the more time you waste talking about well, my parents were like that and my environments were like that and in this country we If you have this, you know who financially didn't have this or that, then you're going to have problems.
I leave you with a story. This is a very interesting story because I was reading it somehow. Nola Access read it yesterday. I wasn't planning on sharing my talk, but I think it's relevant. She was reading a biography of an imam. Hazama, the mulatto auda, ​​even Haslam was a very rich scholar. I mean, the scholar Hazama of Angeles was a very rich man and he used to. getting into a lot of debates, that's one of the defects of him as a man, was that he got into a lot of debates and sometimes he became quite harsh in his debates, but obviously we take the good as Muslims when we study the biographies of people from the past.
We take their benefits and overlook their defects because of the enormous good they offer, so I have had fun participating in many debates, and in one of these debates he was debating with an academic from a more humble background and if he has not won the debate, because if he couldn't remember a text that the other man couldn't remember, then the other man takes a cheap shot, he even has it, this is what he says and I'm trying. to translate the instant translation in my head, but he told him that Ben has it, that maybe I didn't see that because the oil in my candle ran out, you see what he's telling him, look, I don't have the lights that you have in your house mashallah.
I only had this candle that I was reading and I was studying for the debate, so maybe the oil ran out and that's why I overlooked that text that you were able to remember and when the debate with and even no He didn't say yes and it was hard for me too see it under the golden chandeliers of my house. What was he telling her? He was saying that just as you are distracted by your poverty and he literally had no golden candlesticks, he said that wealth is often a distraction to people of knowledge, so his candle is a distraction, my sandal ears are also a distraction. , there are no excuses, so he won the debate again, so we ask Allah subhana WA Ta'ala to allow us to be among those. satisfied with what we have been given and we ask Allah subhana WA Ta'ala to make us satisfied with him both in the legislation that he has given us in religion and in the legislation of the events that will take place in our lives and we ask Allah subhana WA Ta'ala to make us among those who are ultimately satisfied with Jenna with paradise Ilana I mean, I will cover the other side of this topic, which is whether God is just or not, so inshallah tada tonight on the discussion that i think it's very late at night, so if you guys are awake, Shalit I'll see you.
Jews are famous for the law in America.
