and welcome back.
Alhamdulillah.
My dear students, welcome to the 19th
edition in the fourth level of the
prophetic noble hadith.
And today inshallah we'll continue with
the second segment of explaining hadith
number 16th. The famous hadith of Abu
when he narrated that the messenger of
Allah may Allah's peace and blessings be
upon him said
Indeed Allah is good and he does not
accept anything but that which is good.
And Allah the Almighty has enjoyed upon
the believers that which he has enjoyed
upon the messengers. As he said in Al-M,
"Oh messengers, eat from the good foods
and do righteous deeds for I am well
aware of that what you do of all what
you do." And in Allah commanded the
believers in chapter number 23 verse
number 51,
"All who you believed, eat from the good
things which we have provided for you.
Then he mentioned a man who travels a
great deal, a long journey, and he is
disheveled and he is covered with dust.
Then he raises his hands to the heavens,
saying, "Oh Lord, oh Lord, y
while his food is from haram earning,
his drink likewise his clothes are from
haram earning. and he has been nourished
with haram. So how can he receive an
answer to his supplication? The hadith
is collected by Imam Muslim and we did
explain every segment of the hadith in
the previous uh session by the grace of
Allah remains for us to learn some very
important and interesting lessons from
this hadith and that's why we divided it
into two sessions. The first lesson is
about uh Allah's name
the good and he is he is good in his
actions in his sayings in his decrees
everything about Allah is definitely
good and he is a source of goodness and
he loves what is good and he loves those
who are good and he loves those who do
good
and that's why Allah the almighty
address the believers in chapter number
seven verse number
Do Allah belong the beautiful names to
invoke him
thereby
when you say oh Allah
to say what forgive me. Oh Allah the
forgiven forgive me my sins. You need to
increase your provision.
Oh Allah the ever provider increase my
provision and so on. So he is good in
his actions for the actions of Allah
subhana wa t'ala are all good. His
rulings are all good and it is indeed
they're all in the best interest of his
servants in this life and in the
hereafter.
Hence they are good and are appropriate
for every time, place and circumstances.
In the hadith the messenger of Allah
sallallahu alaihi wasallam said
Any
decree that almighty Allah will decree
for his believing servant, it is most
definitely good for him whether he knows
or he doesn't. Whether he sees it
immediately or after a while or even in
the hereafter. Brothers and sisters,
dealing with and using haram money which
is earned unlawfully
to buy food, to buy drink, to buy
medication, to buy clothes will not make
it lawful. Nourishing the body from
haram will prevent answering the
supplication. And this is very obvious
in the hadith. No matter how many of the
means of receiving uh a response are
present, raising the hands, being
disheveled, being dusty, crying, going
for Hajj and Omrah. But the source, the
money, the wealth is earned unlawfully.
And that's why Subhanala
would not answer the supplication of
such person. His dua or her dua will be
blocked for this season.
And accordingly we should understand
that
uh the hijab of the dua whenever it is
slow maybe it is slow because it is
barred
with our sins or because I have been
earning unlawfully.
When one's child is going astray or
acting naughty or giving them a hard
time you also need to check on the
source of your earning. Some people
don't mind earning from ribba, from
gambling, from uh commissions which are
haram, from selling what is forbidden
and then they wonder how come that my
relationship with my wife is not really
good and my kids do not respect me.
Think about the source of your earning
and you still have a chance to fix that
by repenting, by looking for a lawful
job in order to make certain that you're
earning lawfully. It will fix your
problems and it will be a great means of
accepting your dua and also your charity
and your giving away. All of that will
be accepted. We also learned that the
messengers who were the most pious were
also commanded.
Allah asked them to do things and to
stay away from things. So being the most
righteous people doesn't mean that they
did not receive an instruction from
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. No, they have
been instructed. Look how Allah said to
his prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam
How the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam was commanded with the night
prayer in the previous ayat or imagine
the other day I was telling my son to
drive carefully and I putting emphasis
on that actually it was today
uh so he said uh Abby you don't have to
remind me I drive very Well, I said
Allah said to his prophet
and the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam was the most righteous. So it
is okay to remind even the believers
among themselves reminding one another
as Allah said inah keep reminding we
remind one another
because indeed the reminder benefits
benefits whom benefits the believers.
The one who refrains from good and
lawful things as an act of devotion is
committing a big sin. What do you mean?
Don't understand.
If I decided I don't want to eat
chicken, I don't want to eat beef. I
don't want to eat fish. No problem. Your
choice. The messenger of Allah
sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, you
don't want to eat anything, don't eat
it, but do not criticize it. It is
created by Allah and other like it and
it is loful so let them eat it. So if
somebody decided to become vegetarian
because of health reasons or because of
whatever reason as long as he does not
criticize eating meat, drinking milk,
eating eggs, eating chicken and say this
is very inhumane because by saying so
he's objecting to Allah's decree. Allah
is the one who decreed that it is lawful
for us to eat such and such meat. Okay?
If you make it allful, it becomes a
major sin. But if you decide, ah, well,
I'm not into chicken, no problem. I'm
not into seafood, no problem. It is
about how you perceive it. It's halal,
but I'm not into it. That is acceptable.
it becomes haram and a person will
become blamew worthy if he were to
perceive what Allah has made lawful and
said it is as unlawful because in fact
Allah did not make anything all lawful
but what is what is evil in surah
chapter number 7 verse number 32 Allah
the Almighty says
who has forbidden the adornment of Allah
which he has produced for his servants
and the good lawful things of provision.
Allah the Almighty said in
the beginning.
So no one is allowed to perceive what
Allah has made lawful as unlawful.
Exactly. Similar to no one is allowed to
perceive what Allah has made unlawful as
lawful.
We also learned that a command may be
addressed to one who already has a
characteristic because Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala said do righteous deeds
and he said it to whom? He addressed the
messengers
and the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam was already
and the most god-fearing. So this is a
reminder and an emphasis
also we learn brothers and sisters that
everything which is forbidden is check
out in um
uh
Allah said about prophet Muhammad and
that a prophecy was given to prophet
Moses in the Torah.
The messenger who shall make lawful for
his fuls what is good and shall make for
them all lawful everything which is evil
everything which is harmful. So whenever
Allah forbids anything no questions
asked. Maybe we
may think that what is the reason it's
none of your business. You don't ask
questions.
If Allah explains a reason, fine. If we
find out a reason, medical reason,
social reason, whatever, we can add it
to the list of convincing reasons. But
Allah doesn't owe his servants to
explain the wisdom behind the
prohibition or the mandate of anything.
Charity, brothers and sisters, must be
given from lawful earning. And if the
earning is unlawful, unfortunately,
the charity will not be accepted. Allah
doesn't accept any prayer without the
proper woodoo. Nor does nor does he
accept any charity which is given from
unlawful or stolen
um
wealth.
Allah is good and he only accepts that
which is good. The messenger of Allah
said if you give even something as
little as a date or have date but from
halal and Allah doesn't accept.
But what is halal? What is lawful? Allah
will grow it for you, will enlarge its
reward for you until it becomes like a
huge mountain provided it is given from
halal. If the person have repented and
wants to give away what he has what he
has stolen and he doesn't know the
person or the person have died and does
not have ears. So he may give it in a
charity but on behalf of the owner of
the property or the wealth hopefully he
will be forgiven and the reward will go
to the original owner of that wealth. We
also learn from the hadith some of the
many etiquets of the dua in order for
our supplication to be accepted and may
Allah accept all our prayers and purify
our earnings and purify our hearts.
Until next time.
