1
00:00:55,308 --> 00:01:00,108
Praise with Allah subhanahu
wa'ta'Ala,the one we ask help,
mercy, forgiveness and we seek refuge

2
00:01:00,907 --> 00:01:02,250
with Allah subhanahu wa'ta'Ala from

3
00:01:02,691 --> 00:01:05,341
the bad deeds of ourselves and the evil of ourselves.

4
00:01:06,646 --> 00:01:09,896
Whoever Allah subhanahu
wa'ta'Ala guided will never be misguided.

5
00:01:10,973 --> 00:01:14,273
But whoever Allah subhanahu
wa'ta'Ala leave to be astray, abandon,

6
00:01:14,828 --> 00:01:18,028
leave them in charge of their
own self, they’ll never be guided.

7
00:01:18,615 --> 00:01:20,115
They are in a serious trouble.

8
00:01:21,410 --> 00:01:25,560
I be witness there’s no Lord
or Thee to be worshipped
but Allah subhanahu wa'ta'Ala

9
00:01:26,406 --> 00:01:28,406
one and only one and Muhammad (PBUH) his

10
00:01:28,985 --> 00:01:32,185
servant, his messenger, the
best and purest of Allah’s creation,

11
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:34,700
the face of glad tidy,

12
00:01:35,454 --> 00:01:38,254
the sweet heart for the good
hearts,for the good people.

13
00:01:40,671 --> 00:01:45,349
First of all my brothers,
sisters, dear believers, the
best greetings of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'Ala

14
00:01:45,708 --> 00:01:46,531
to all of you

15
00:01:46,972 --> 00:01:49,924
and upon all the bright faces
that makes the youth to Allah subhanahu wa'ta'Ala

16
00:01:50,437 --> 00:01:53,437
and to all the sincere
hearts that finds comfort, happiness,

17
00:01:55,668 --> 00:01:59,118
satisfaction, content, trust,
success with Allah subhanahu wa'ta'Ala.

18
00:02:01,161 --> 00:02:02,841
Today’s topic,

19
00:02:03,450 --> 00:02:04,250
today’s reminder

20
00:02:06,162 --> 00:02:07,412
it is

21
00:02:09,384 --> 00:02:10,734
A serious dangerous matter.

22
00:02:12,671 --> 00:02:14,671
I will be talking in Arabic and English,

23
00:02:15,195 --> 00:02:17,595
so those who only speak English will understand,

24
00:02:18,072 --> 00:02:20,872
those who only speak
Arabic Insha-Allah will understand.

25
00:02:22,336 --> 00:02:24,686
Allah subhanahu wa'ta'Ala declared in the Quran

26
00:02:33,193 --> 00:02:36,043
Closest to the meaning
“wherely upon you appointed angels

27
00:02:37,791 --> 00:02:38,791
kind and honourable.

28
00:02:39,805 --> 00:02:42,605
They write your deeds
and they know what you are doing”,

29
00:02:44,842 --> 00:02:45,842
so this is a precise

30
00:02:47,724 --> 00:02:48,684
pinpoint

31
00:02:50,969 --> 00:02:52,219
What?

32
00:02:52,979 --> 00:02:53,929
Pinpoint monitoring

33
00:02:54,495 --> 00:02:56,045
from Allah subhanahu wa'ta'Ala,

34
00:02:57,282 --> 00:02:59,732
precise monitoring from Allah subhanahu wa'ta'Al,

35
00:03:00,528 --> 00:03:02,178
the one who does not fall asleep.

36
00:03:03,630 --> 00:03:04,780
Dear believers, today’s

37
00:03:06,094 --> 00:03:07,294
“khutba”, today’s speech

38
00:03:09,171 --> 00:03:10,071
about “allahma”………

39
00:03:35,091 --> 00:03:36,641
So therefore, today’s speech is

40
00:03:37,544 --> 00:03:38,894
it is about a piece of meat

41
00:03:39,889 --> 00:03:43,089
that has no bones in it but
it can break a bone…break our bones.

42
00:03:44,645 --> 00:03:47,745
It is about a blessing, a
lot of people turn it to be a curse.

43
00:03:48,944 --> 00:03:51,244
It is about the snake that often bites people.

44
00:03:54,548 --> 00:03:58,398
It is about the horse that
take you, carries you
to the “Jannah” or dumps you

45
00:04:00,089 --> 00:04:01,039
into the hell fire.

46
00:04:03,005 --> 00:04:04,055
It is about the sword

47
00:04:04,816 --> 00:04:07,616
that can cut you fast
and easy and that is “the tongue”.

48
00:04:09,503 --> 00:04:10,803
Rasul-Allah (SAW) declared

49
00:04:20,770 --> 00:04:24,220
Closest to the meaning that
rasul-Allah(SAW) is telling us, urging us

50
00:04:25,248 --> 00:04:26,209
get a grip of your tongue.

51
00:04:26,841 --> 00:04:28,691
Be busy in your home with good deeds.

52
00:04:29,625 --> 00:04:30,525
Be busy in privacy

53
00:04:32,423 --> 00:04:34,623
with good deeds away from evil deeds and cry

54
00:04:35,795 --> 00:04:37,395
for your sins. Cry for your sins

55
00:04:40,093 --> 00:04:44,543
So rasul-Allah(SAW) really
urging us to get a grip on
our tongue means to take our tongue

56
00:04:47,403 --> 00:04:49,853
for a ride or our tongue will take us for a ride.

57
00:04:50,689 --> 00:04:53,289
No, we can’t allow our
tongue to take us for a ride.

58
00:04:54,014 --> 00:04:55,114
We control our tongue.

59
00:04:56,459 --> 00:04:58,279
Question here my brothers, my sisters ….

60
00:04:59,843 --> 00:05:02,293
when is the last time
our tongue knocked the door

61
00:05:04,934 --> 00:05:06,494
on our hearts

62
00:05:07,166 --> 00:05:08,145
and said

63
00:05:08,567 --> 00:05:10,467
“have you cried lately for your sins?”

64
00:05:12,181 --> 00:05:13,231
When is the last time

65
00:05:14,776 --> 00:05:18,026
our tongue asked our heart
“have you cried lately for your sins?”

66
00:05:22,428 --> 00:05:24,928
Take a look at this “hadith” from rasul-Allah(SAW)

67
00:05:28,256 --> 00:05:29,756
that’s narrated by Al-Bukhari.

68
00:05:31,452 --> 00:05:33,152
This is a very important ”hadith”,

69
00:05:33,835 --> 00:05:34,785
dangerous “hadith”.

70
00:05:49,921 --> 00:05:50,721
This is amazing.

71
00:06:00,300 --> 00:06:01,400
Closest to the meaning

72
00:06:02,022 --> 00:06:05,472
rasul-Allah (SAW) told us in
this “hadith” narrated by “Bukhari” that

73
00:06:06,326 --> 00:06:10,926
the man will be speaking one
word that pleases Allah and
of course that applies to a sister,

74
00:06:12,126 --> 00:06:12,966
a woman

75
00:06:13,779 --> 00:06:16,179
a man will be saying one word that pleases Allah

76
00:06:17,333 --> 00:06:18,333
and he does not know

77
00:06:19,275 --> 00:06:20,225
how far it reached.

78
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,700
Allah subhanahu wa'ta'Ala will
put down that He’s pleased with him or with her

79
00:06:27,148 --> 00:06:28,398
till the day of Judgment.

80
00:06:29,214 --> 00:06:32,664
That one word you say, maybe
one sentence you say but rasul(SAW) said

81
00:06:33,419 --> 00:06:37,119
one word that Allah will put
down that He’s pleased with you will conclude

82
00:06:40,787 --> 00:06:43,387
that He’s pleased with
you till the day of Judgment.

83
00:06:44,456 --> 00:06:48,706
That it’s put down concluding
that Allah’s pleased
with you till the day of Judgment.

84
00:06:49,803 --> 00:06:51,553
The rest of the “hadith”…dangerous…

85
00:06:53,159 --> 00:06:58,059
That a man will be saying one
word from the curse of Allah,
Allah will put his curse upon him till

86
00:06:59,829 --> 00:07:00,829
the day of judgment.

87
00:07:01,757 --> 00:07:04,257
Dangerous “hadith”. Alkoma said that this “hadith”

88
00:07:06,078 --> 00:07:08,078
prevented me from saying so many things.

89
00:07:11,165 --> 00:07:15,515
Very very dangerous. Take a
look also at “imam-anabvi”,
what did he say. He say “alam”…

90
00:07:40,531 --> 00:07:43,281
His statement is completed,
“imam-anabvi” who said that

91
00:07:44,056 --> 00:07:49,456
you have to know it is a must
for every mature person to
hold his tongue and that means here tongue as well.

92
00:07:52,148 --> 00:07:54,248
To hold the tongue from all type of a talk

93
00:07:55,015 --> 00:07:59,865
except what it has benefit and
if the benefit of talking
equal the benefit of not talking at all,

94
00:08:04,378 --> 00:08:05,928
if the benefit of talking equal

95
00:08:06,630 --> 00:08:09,980
the benefit of not talking at
all “sunnah” requires you not to talk

96
00:08:12,234 --> 00:08:14,734
because a “halal” talk
can lead to a “haram” talk.

97
00:08:16,888 --> 00:08:18,838
Very dangerous my brothers, my sisters.

98
00:08:19,443 --> 00:08:21,443
Ibn-al-qiami, Allah be pleased with him,

99
00:08:21,955 --> 00:08:22,955
said

100
00:08:41,216 --> 00:08:44,366
Closest to the meaning he
told us Allah be pleased with him …..

101
00:08:46,153 --> 00:08:49,753
a servant will come in the day
of judgment with so many god deeds, huge…

102
00:08:51,493 --> 00:08:54,093
as huge as a mountain
and he and that also means she

103
00:08:56,650 --> 00:08:59,150
will find his tongue destroyed all the good deeds,

104
00:08:59,936 --> 00:09:02,286
all the “hasannah”, wipe them out, cancel them.

105
00:09:04,402 --> 00:09:06,902
And a person will come
in the day of judgment with

106
00:09:10,244 --> 00:09:14,144
Evil deeds as high as
mountains and he will
find his tongue cancelled them all

107
00:09:16,713 --> 00:09:20,613
because that tongue is busy
with the remembrance of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'Ala,

108
00:09:21,372 --> 00:09:22,922
with zikar-Allah and much more.

109
00:09:23,481 --> 00:09:24,931
Truly my brothers, my sisters

110
00:09:25,439 --> 00:09:29,089
some of us will go to the
supermarket and will check what’s this “halal”,

111
00:09:29,601 --> 00:09:30,601
“haram” ingredients.

112
00:09:31,265 --> 00:09:33,615
We could prevent our tongue from eating “haram”

113
00:09:35,133 --> 00:09:36,083
or drinking ”haram”

114
00:09:37,315 --> 00:09:40,165
but sometimes we can’t
prevent our tongue from destroying

115
00:09:40,658 --> 00:09:42,458
our “hasanaat”,

116
00:09:42,823 --> 00:09:44,623
our good deeds, from canceling them.

117
00:09:45,065 --> 00:09:49,965
It is a serious, dangerous
matter and that’s why
Ibn-e-Masood, may Allah be pleased with him, said

118
00:09:52,927 --> 00:09:55,677
“Nothing on the face
of earth requires a long term jail

119
00:09:58,850 --> 00:09:59,950
more than the tongue”.

120
00:10:09,356 --> 00:10:12,106
“Nothing on the face
of earth requires a long term jail

121
00:10:14,354 --> 00:10:15,454
more than the tongue”.

122
00:10:16,826 --> 00:10:21,576
Now take a look, my brothers,
my sisters at “hadith”
rasul-Allah(SAW) that’s narrated by Ahmed.

123
00:10:25,733 --> 00:10:28,633
He said to Abid-al-Ghafari,
may Allah be pleased with him.

124
00:10:38,841 --> 00:10:40,698
Closest to the meaning rasul-Allah(SAW),

125
00:10:41,836 --> 00:10:43,136
the engineer of happiness,

126
00:10:45,775 --> 00:10:48,815
speaking of rasul-Allah(SAW),
my brothers, my sisters, rasul-Allah(SAW)

127
00:10:50,459 --> 00:10:52,609
could solve the problem of this whole world

128
00:10:53,475 --> 00:10:55,725
while he’s sitting down having a cup of milk.

129
00:10:57,140 --> 00:10:58,540
Rasul-Allah(SAW), his grave,

130
00:10:59,215 --> 00:11:02,615
the teaching and the guidance
of rasul-Allah(SAW) is available there

131
00:11:03,407 --> 00:11:06,757
for whoever has to link to the
happiness and the guidance of Islam.

132
00:11:09,889 --> 00:11:12,439
Told Abid-al-Ghafari,
get a grip of a long silence,

133
00:11:15,208 --> 00:11:16,858
means keep quiet for a long time.

134
00:11:18,305 --> 00:11:23,855
It helps you with the matter
of your "din", with the matter
of your faith and it will kick away the “shaitaan”.

135
00:11:26,878 --> 00:11:30,128
Indeed it does kick away the
“shaitaan”. My brothers, my sisters,

136
00:11:30,710 --> 00:11:33,010
to control the tongue, to preserve the tongue,

137
00:11:33,776 --> 00:11:37,776
to take our tongue and to
monitor our tongue, it
does really kick the “shaitaan”

138
00:11:38,957 --> 00:11:41,107
and really this “khutba” could be titled as

139
00:11:43,299 --> 00:11:45,499
“Your tongue, your happiness or your misery”

140
00:11:47,099 --> 00:11:47,939
Indeed,

141
00:11:48,732 --> 00:11:52,782
your happiness or your misery.
Take a look at the pious generation as an example.

142
00:11:54,348 --> 00:11:57,448
Taos-bin-Qaiser, may Allah
be pleased with him, he used to say

143
00:12:04,583 --> 00:12:09,233
This is a pious imam used to
say “I have tried my tongue
and I found him rigid has no mercy.”

144
00:12:14,621 --> 00:12:16,271
Another one, Abdullah-bin-Zikria,

145
00:12:17,033 --> 00:12:18,113
he said….

146
00:12:25,478 --> 00:12:26,628
Closest to the meaning,

147
00:12:27,498 --> 00:12:28,338
he said

148
00:12:28,872 --> 00:12:29,577
“if you

149
00:12:29,956 --> 00:12:32,456
mention Allah, I will
sit down and I will help you

150
00:12:34,453 --> 00:12:37,453
and if you are mentioning
people in gossiping around people,

151
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:40,340
I will leave you”.

152
00:12:42,154 --> 00:12:46,554
Another big winner which is,
we mention Abdullah-bin-Zikria
ibne Abbas, what did he say.

153
00:12:48,984 --> 00:12:49,824
He said

154
00:13:02,146 --> 00:13:03,246
Closest to the meaning

155
00:13:04,388 --> 00:13:05,828
he said that

156
00:13:06,492 --> 00:13:08,342
say good, you will gain. Say no evil,

157
00:13:09,885 --> 00:13:11,735
you’ll have no vain. I have been told

158
00:13:13,102 --> 00:13:15,002
that a servant in the day of judgment,

159
00:13:16,126 --> 00:13:17,826
he’s not more upset about anything

160
00:13:19,212 --> 00:13:20,262
more than his tongue.

161
00:13:21,694 --> 00:13:22,744
That means my sisters

162
00:13:23,365 --> 00:13:25,165
and my brothers

163
00:13:25,613 --> 00:13:26,663
and male or a female,

164
00:13:28,768 --> 00:13:30,568
he would not be

165
00:13:30,981 --> 00:13:33,331
more upset about anything more than being upset

166
00:13:34,713 --> 00:13:36,393
at his tongue.

167
00:13:38,420 --> 00:13:42,120
An interesting story, may
Allah be pleased with him, he made a commitment,

168
00:13:44,174 --> 00:13:46,774
a penalty, self penalty
that if his tongue get lose,

169
00:13:47,857 --> 00:13:51,357
he will fast one day. If he
gossip, he will fast one day as a penalty.

170
00:13:55,220 --> 00:13:56,070
But he got tired.

171
00:13:57,380 --> 00:13:58,220
He quit

172
00:13:59,213 --> 00:14:00,813
that particular penalty, he said

173
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,710
if I gossip one day, I will

174
00:14:04,502 --> 00:14:06,252
pay one dirham, suppose one dollar.

175
00:14:08,340 --> 00:14:09,490
If my tongue gets lose,

176
00:14:11,352 --> 00:14:14,702
I will fast. But he couldn’t
handle the fasting anymore, so he said

177
00:14:15,337 --> 00:14:16,437
I will pay one dirham,

178
00:14:17,891 --> 00:14:20,041
that’s supposed to be let’s say one dollar.

179
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,800
But he loved the dirham so much,

180
00:14:23,324 --> 00:14:24,474
that he left gossiping.

181
00:14:25,822 --> 00:14:28,672
For us my brothers, my
sisters, if we try this technique,

182
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,640
that if our tongue get lose,

183
00:14:31,435 --> 00:14:33,435
we pay a dollar or five dollars penalty,

184
00:14:35,052 --> 00:14:37,852
maybe by the end of the
week, we will have no money left

185
00:14:39,415 --> 00:14:40,215
from our salary.

186
00:14:41,288 --> 00:14:43,338
May Allah help us to preserve our tongue.

187
00:14:44,095 --> 00:14:49,295
May Allah help us to really
have a tongue that’s busy with
the remembrance of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'Ala,

188
00:14:50,712 --> 00:14:53,462
busy with inviting people
to Allah subhanahu wa'ta'Ala,

189
00:14:54,231 --> 00:14:55,582
busy in saying good things, busy in defending Islam.

190
00:14:57,378 --> 00:15:01,228
May Allah subhanahu wa'ta'Ala
give us the tongue that could be like a shovel.

191
00:15:01,765 --> 00:15:05,865
You know when you shovel snow
in winter, that your tongue could shovel good deeds,

192
00:15:07,763 --> 00:15:08,763
could shovel

193
00:15:09,196 --> 00:15:09,874
“noor”,

194
00:15:10,286 --> 00:15:13,186
light and “barakah” in
your life. My brothers, my sisters.

195
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,950
My brothers, my sisters
there's something called
fasting and something called diet.

196
00:15:21,314 --> 00:15:22,364
So if we can’t really

197
00:15:23,929 --> 00:15:27,129
fast, can’t keep our tongue
in fasting routine, fasting process,

198
00:15:30,580 --> 00:15:32,030
we have to keep it in a diet.

199
00:15:33,902 --> 00:15:36,452
Sometimes you have to
have a diet with your tongue,

200
00:15:37,241 --> 00:15:39,991
so this way we get closer
to Allah subhanahu wa'ta'Ala.

201
00:15:40,418 --> 00:15:42,468
Take a look at “hadith” rasul-Allah(SAW).

202
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,000
This particular “hadith”

203
00:15:52,723 --> 00:15:54,823
“whoever believe in Allah and the last day

204
00:15:55,858 --> 00:15:57,308
should say good or be quiet”.

205
00:15:58,401 --> 00:16:00,001
Very successful, simple formula.

206
00:16:01,064 --> 00:16:02,564
Unfortunately, some of us now,

207
00:16:03,943 --> 00:16:06,093
their tongue is really sparing the “kuffar”

208
00:16:08,506 --> 00:16:09,856
and protecting the “kuffar”

209
00:16:10,783 --> 00:16:11,983
and lashing the Muslims.

210
00:16:14,468 --> 00:16:16,218
I want you to be introduced to this

211
00:16:17,380 --> 00:16:18,830
big winner called Al-Rabbiah,

212
00:16:20,233 --> 00:16:21,733
may Allah be pleased with him,

213
00:16:27,766 --> 00:16:31,016
The closest people to him,
they don’t hear one bad word from him.

214
00:16:33,967 --> 00:16:35,647
They asked him

215
00:16:37,621 --> 00:16:39,621
“don’t you criticize people Al-Rabbiah?”

216
00:16:40,426 --> 00:16:41,386
He said,

217
00:16:56,009 --> 00:16:58,409
Closest to the meaning, Al-Rabbiah is telling us

218
00:16:59,598 --> 00:17:00,898
and giving us a big bonus,

219
00:17:01,417 --> 00:17:02,737
big advice.

220
00:17:03,223 --> 00:17:04,223
When they asked him,

221
00:17:05,085 --> 00:17:06,385
the closest people to him,

222
00:17:06,816 --> 00:17:10,016
they said we never heard one
bad word from him for twenty years,

223
00:17:12,136 --> 00:17:15,136
”don’t you criticize
people, don’t you ill speak of people?”

224
00:17:15,772 --> 00:17:16,732
he said,

225
00:17:17,195 --> 00:17:20,245
“Wallah, I’m not satisfied
about myself to criticize people.”

226
00:17:22,435 --> 00:17:23,385
People feared Allah

227
00:17:25,338 --> 00:17:26,588
about the sins of people,

228
00:17:28,352 --> 00:17:29,552
about the sins of others

229
00:17:30,886 --> 00:17:33,036
and they thought they are secure with Allah

230
00:17:33,479 --> 00:17:34,529
about their own sins.

231
00:17:35,685 --> 00:17:36,585
Amazing statement.

232
00:17:38,097 --> 00:17:40,497
My brothers, my sisters, we got rasul-Allah(SAW)

233
00:17:42,566 --> 00:17:45,716
with this particular
“hadith” narrated by Al-Bukhari by saying,

234
00:17:53,323 --> 00:17:55,323
Closest to the meaning, rasul-Allah(SAW)

235
00:17:55,757 --> 00:17:59,207
is telling us that “whoever
guarantees for me what’s between his chin

236
00:18:00,035 --> 00:18:03,435
and what’s between his legs, I
will guarantee for him the “Jannah””.

237
00:18:05,781 --> 00:18:07,531
Some of us will say uh-oh, I dipped

238
00:18:09,074 --> 00:18:10,074
my tongue into sins,

239
00:18:11,381 --> 00:18:12,381
uh-oh it’s too late.

240
00:18:13,013 --> 00:18:15,663
No it’s not too late. Go
to rasul-Allah(SAW) who said

241
00:18:18,544 --> 00:18:20,394
“whoever repent for his sins as if he

242
00:18:21,660 --> 00:18:23,610
and that means she never committed it”.

243
00:18:24,830 --> 00:18:27,180
My brothers, my sisters, also rasul-Allah (SAW)

244
00:18:27,686 --> 00:18:30,186
taught us that the collection of  people’s tongue,

245
00:18:31,593 --> 00:18:33,343
the accumulation of people’s tongue

246
00:18:34,282 --> 00:18:36,382
could really sent them right on their face

247
00:18:37,216 --> 00:18:38,116
into the hell fire

248
00:18:39,226 --> 00:18:41,576
So this is not just really a just regular talk.

249
00:18:42,380 --> 00:18:43,330
This is a dangerous

250
00:18:44,458 --> 00:18:47,108
really matter that if we
are not aware of our tongue,

251
00:18:47,950 --> 00:18:50,350
our tongue can cancel our “hasanat”, good deeds.

252
00:18:51,006 --> 00:18:53,656
Our tongue can really
throw us right in our face flat

253
00:18:54,490 --> 00:18:56,690
into the hell fire and cause us real trouble

254
00:18:58,865 --> 00:19:00,465
that sometimes one word you say,

255
00:19:01,525 --> 00:19:02,675
it takes years to clean

256
00:19:03,103 --> 00:19:05,203
or it takes years to wipe out or white out

257
00:19:09,433 --> 00:19:11,133
Dear believers, they asked a pious

258
00:19:11,916 --> 00:19:12,916
man,

259
00:19:14,970 --> 00:19:16,370
“how many did you calculate,

260
00:19:18,019 --> 00:19:19,269
how many did you pinpoint

261
00:19:21,639 --> 00:19:23,189
the short coming of Ibn-e-Adam,

262
00:19:23,746 --> 00:19:25,646
its us the son of Adam, us, how many?”

263
00:19:27,363 --> 00:19:28,203
he said

264
00:19:42,284 --> 00:19:43,784
He said “I counted more than….

265
00:19:46,299 --> 00:19:49,499
he said I counted so much,
more than that you could count really

266
00:19:49,934 --> 00:19:52,384
but the one I kept pinpointing which is more than

267
00:19:52,861 --> 00:19:53,661
eight thousand”,

268
00:19:54,524 --> 00:19:58,324
so our short coming is more
than eight thousand and we think we are perfect.

269
00:19:59,490 --> 00:20:01,490
Then he said “but I found one particular

270
00:20:02,233 --> 00:20:03,073
virtue,

271
00:20:03,618 --> 00:20:04,918
one particular good thing,

272
00:20:06,533 --> 00:20:07,733
if you use

273
00:20:08,175 --> 00:20:10,075
it will cover all these short comings,

274
00:20:10,659 --> 00:20:11,609
all of these “ayub”

275
00:20:12,691 --> 00:20:14,441
and that is preserving the tongue”.

276
00:20:16,058 --> 00:20:17,108
Preserving the tongue

277
00:20:18,311 --> 00:20:21,711
may Allah subhanahu wa'ta'Ala
really help us my brothers, my sisters

278
00:20:22,168 --> 00:20:23,318
to preserve our tongue.

279
00:20:24,599 --> 00:20:26,749
Now we have to exhibit some of the problems

280
00:20:28,503 --> 00:20:30,353
Some of the problems about the tongue

281
00:20:31,290 --> 00:20:32,490
Some of us

282
00:20:32,991 --> 00:20:34,841
would really see somebody in trouble,

283
00:20:35,256 --> 00:20:36,756
instead of giving them a hand,

284
00:20:37,479 --> 00:20:41,329
No they are really happy that
they are in trouble and they are really sort of

285
00:20:42,170 --> 00:20:43,170
gossiping about them

286
00:20:44,411 --> 00:20:46,861
Take a look at this “hadith” narrated by Tirmizi,

287
00:20:47,502 --> 00:20:48,902
rasul-Allah (SAW) showing us

288
00:20:55,639 --> 00:20:56,789
“Don’t show “shamata””…

289
00:20:57,479 --> 00:20:58,319
shamata

290
00:20:59,104 --> 00:21:00,304
means ill happy feeling.

291
00:21:00,777 --> 00:21:02,727
“don’t show shamata about your brother,

292
00:21:03,451 --> 00:21:05,051
Allah might be merciful upon him

293
00:21:06,304 --> 00:21:07,624
and put you

294
00:21:07,991 --> 00:21:09,671
in his place”.

295
00:21:10,755 --> 00:21:14,105
So sometimes, really, when we
are seeing somebody suffering certain

296
00:21:16,624 --> 00:21:18,474
trouble, our tongue really lash them,

297
00:21:19,675 --> 00:21:22,675
instead of giving them a
hand and remember the power to said

298
00:21:39,108 --> 00:21:40,358
That means if your tongue

299
00:21:40,814 --> 00:21:43,564
notice certain things about
the short coming of people,

300
00:21:43,982 --> 00:21:47,282
remember that you are full of
short coming and people have tongues

301
00:21:47,719 --> 00:21:48,519
And if your eyes

302
00:21:49,153 --> 00:21:52,303
show you certain weakness
about people or certain short coming,

303
00:21:54,528 --> 00:21:55,528
leave it, ignore it,

304
00:21:56,363 --> 00:21:57,813
because people also have eyes

305
00:21:59,501 --> 00:22:01,401
and you have weakness and short coming

306
00:22:01,801 --> 00:22:03,151
My brothers, another matter

307
00:22:03,648 --> 00:22:05,328
which is about

308
00:22:07,242 --> 00:22:08,492
those

309
00:22:08,955 --> 00:22:12,055
who hear something about
their Muslim brother or Muslim sister

310
00:22:13,481 --> 00:22:15,181
and they are really cool about it.

311
00:22:15,644 --> 00:22:16,594
They are not really

312
00:22:17,149 --> 00:22:17,949
saying anything.

313
00:22:18,558 --> 00:22:21,208
Unfortunately, they are
sometimes even happy about it

314
00:22:21,782 --> 00:22:25,682
They hear somebody lashing
their Muslim brothers
and sisters with their tongue

315
00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:29,060
and they are cool about it
and they don’t say anything

316
00:22:29,437 --> 00:22:33,337
So my brothers, we take a look
at this particular “hadith” narrated by Tirmizi

317
00:22:34,818 --> 00:22:36,968
showing us that Allah subhanahu wa'ta'Ala ,

318
00:22:38,420 --> 00:22:40,520
He is in charge of a great reward for you.

319
00:22:42,272 --> 00:22:43,272
What does that mean?

320
00:22:44,328 --> 00:22:45,628
Rasul-Allah (SAW) declared

321
00:22:53,984 --> 00:22:56,784
Closest to the meaning,
rasul-Allah (SAW) is telling us,

322
00:22:57,832 --> 00:22:59,582
whoever is preventing, sending away

323
00:23:02,077 --> 00:23:03,677
a gossiping against his brother,

324
00:23:04,983 --> 00:23:06,433
and that applies to a sister,

325
00:23:06,918 --> 00:23:08,968
Allah who will put down a right upon Him,

326
00:23:09,446 --> 00:23:10,596
who could put something

327
00:23:11,193 --> 00:23:14,593
upon Allah subhanahu
wa'ta'Ala? Allah will put down a right upon Him

328
00:23:16,083 --> 00:23:17,333
Allah subhanahu wa'ta'Ala

329
00:23:18,355 --> 00:23:19,755
to relief you from hell fire

330
00:23:20,953 --> 00:23:21,903
Somebody could say,

331
00:23:22,419 --> 00:23:24,569
oh, I only say one word to prevent a gossip

332
00:23:26,873 --> 00:23:28,373
against my sister or a brother

333
00:23:29,489 --> 00:23:31,389
I only say one sentence to defend them

334
00:23:32,961 --> 00:23:36,511
and to send back certain evil
words against them, only that one minute,

335
00:23:38,247 --> 00:23:40,547
Allah would relief me from the hell fire….yes…

336
00:23:41,236 --> 00:23:45,436
Yes my brothers, my sisters,
because you are dealing
with Allah subhanahu wa'ta'Ala,

337
00:23:45,998 --> 00:23:47,543
you are dealing with the most merciful,

338
00:23:48,029 --> 00:23:49,575
you are dealing with the most kind,

339
00:23:50,095 --> 00:23:51,995
you are dealing with the most generous

340
00:23:55,874 --> 00:23:58,074
Glory to Allah subhanahu wa'ta'Ala, the one,

341
00:23:58,591 --> 00:24:00,691
when He gives you, you’ll really be amazed

342
00:24:02,285 --> 00:24:04,985
Another problem about the
tongue. What’s this problem?

343
00:24:05,481 --> 00:24:06,921
This problem

344
00:24:07,595 --> 00:24:10,195
from certain people would say to you, “you know what

345
00:24:10,868 --> 00:24:12,618
I know the intention of that person

346
00:24:13,923 --> 00:24:15,773
and I know what that person’s after”.

347
00:24:16,285 --> 00:24:21,135
They’ll use their tongue as
the key to people’s heart.
They say I know what that person’s really.

348
00:24:22,707 --> 00:24:26,507
What kind of mess is in his
heart, what kind of things he means in his heart

349
00:24:28,815 --> 00:24:31,265
You use your tongue as the key to people’s heart.

350
00:24:32,470 --> 00:24:34,520
Go to rasul-Allah(SAW) with this ”hadith”

351
00:24:35,004 --> 00:24:36,154
narrated by Al-Bukhari.

352
00:24:36,854 --> 00:24:37,934
By saying

353
00:24:44,621 --> 00:24:47,271
Closest to the meaning
rasul-Allah(SAW) is telling us

354
00:24:47,693 --> 00:24:50,143
“I’m not commanded to
dig into the people’s heart

355
00:24:51,782 --> 00:24:53,232
or to rip their stomach open”

356
00:24:55,069 --> 00:24:56,269
My brothers, my sisters,

357
00:24:57,062 --> 00:25:00,612
there are so many problems
about the tongue, I will mention a final one

358
00:25:01,597 --> 00:25:02,647
Some of us would say,

359
00:25:04,372 --> 00:25:06,822
“you know this person, I know about him so and so

360
00:25:07,328 --> 00:25:08,428
and you know this guy,

361
00:25:08,882 --> 00:25:11,282
I know so and so and I could say that about them

362
00:25:11,684 --> 00:25:12,484
in their absence

363
00:25:13,109 --> 00:25:15,109
but I could say the same thing ten times

364
00:25:15,548 --> 00:25:16,548
right on their face.

365
00:25:17,095 --> 00:25:21,395
You know I could say that
about them behind their
back and I could say that about them

366
00:25:21,821 --> 00:25:23,621
in their face”.

367
00:25:24,123 --> 00:25:28,123
Go to rasul-Allah(SAW) who
said, this is a dangerous
“hadith” narrated by Moslim

368
00:25:28,729 --> 00:25:29,809
who said,

369
00:25:30,343 --> 00:25:32,143
when you are stuck into a companion,

370
00:25:34,259 --> 00:25:35,459
a “sahabi”

371
00:25:41,029 --> 00:25:44,879
“If what you said about him”,
this is rasul-Allah(SAW) telling the companion,

372
00:25:45,579 --> 00:25:47,229
“if what you said about him truly

373
00:25:48,484 --> 00:25:50,734
applies to him, you have committed “gheebat”,

374
00:25:52,016 --> 00:25:53,096
gossiping

375
00:25:54,123 --> 00:25:58,123
and if what you said about
him, really does not apply to him, you have committed

376
00:25:59,778 --> 00:26:00,978
“buhtaan”,

377
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:02,300
which is “buhtaan”

378
00:26:03,063 --> 00:26:04,663
much greater sin than “gheebat”,

379
00:26:05,021 --> 00:26:07,921
much greater sin than
gossiping. it is real transgression”

380
00:26:08,856 --> 00:26:10,056
my brothers, my sisters,

381
00:26:11,606 --> 00:26:15,356
we ask Allah subhanahu
wa'ta'Ala, really, sincerely to preserve our tongue,

382
00:26:16,076 --> 00:26:19,676
to keep our tongue busy with
“la-ilaha-illalah-Muhammad-ar-Rasool-Allah”

383
00:26:20,442 --> 00:26:23,549
to keep our tongue busy
with zikar- Allah subhanahu wa'ta'Ala.

384
00:26:23,984 --> 00:26:26,234
This tongue could be our happiness or misery.

385
00:26:27,941 --> 00:26:29,741
Dear believers,

386
00:26:30,136 --> 00:26:32,236
finally, take a look at Al-Hasan-Al-Basari

387
00:26:32,752 --> 00:26:33,552
Hasan-Al-Basari,

388
00:26:35,623 --> 00:26:36,623
a person came to him

389
00:26:38,641 --> 00:26:42,191
Came to Hasan-Al-Basari,
pinpointing a finger at him and he said to him

390
00:26:48,406 --> 00:26:50,156
“I have been told that you gossiped

391
00:26:50,967 --> 00:26:52,167
about me”.

392
00:26:54,574 --> 00:26:57,624
Hasan-Al-Basari, may Allah
be pleased with him, a pious Imam,

393
00:26:58,162 --> 00:27:00,162
nice cool, calm way said to this person,

394
00:27:02,516 --> 00:27:03,516
said to this accuser

395
00:27:12,102 --> 00:27:14,102
“that your status is not so high with me

396
00:27:14,956 --> 00:27:17,456
that I will leave you
in charge of my good deeds.”

397
00:27:19,623 --> 00:27:20,873
Means if his tongue lose,

398
00:27:22,409 --> 00:27:24,089
he will really

399
00:27:24,461 --> 00:27:25,411
lose his good deeds

400
00:27:30,331 --> 00:27:34,481
your status is not so high with me that I will
leave you in charge of my good deeds

401
00:27:36,730 --> 00:27:38,430
this is another way of telling him

402
00:27:38,785 --> 00:27:41,535
that I didn’t let my
tongue lose and talking about you,

403
00:27:42,011 --> 00:27:43,611
so this way I lose my “hasanaat”

404
00:27:44,712 --> 00:27:48,862
the last interesting statement came from
Al-Mubarak, may Allah be pleased with him,

405
00:27:50,501 --> 00:27:51,351
he said something

406
00:27:52,108 --> 00:27:53,408
in a form of exaggeration.

407
00:27:55,061 --> 00:27:57,061
It doesn’t mean his mom and dad are bad.

408
00:27:57,502 --> 00:28:01,202
Not at all. He loves his mom and dad
but he said this particular statement

409
00:28:02,012 --> 00:28:04,462
in a form to get the point right into your heart,

410
00:28:04,975 --> 00:28:06,925
to drive the point right to your brain,

411
00:28:07,389 --> 00:28:09,039
To really pinpoint what he means,

412
00:28:10,342 --> 00:28:11,792
form of exaggeration. He said

413
00:28:21,470 --> 00:28:25,270
“if I were to gossip about anyone, I
would gossip against my parents. Why?

414
00:28:27,444 --> 00:28:30,044
Because they are the best who deserve my good deeds,

415
00:28:31,728 --> 00:28:33,408
my “hasanaat”.

416
00:28:33,816 --> 00:28:36,916
It doesn’t mean his parents
are bad, not at all. But he means,

417
00:28:37,325 --> 00:28:39,625
if his tongue gets loose, he loose “hasanaat”,

418
00:28:40,039 --> 00:28:41,189
he lose his good deeds,

419
00:28:41,671 --> 00:28:43,421
he rather lose them to his parents.

420
00:28:43,809 --> 00:28:47,209
Its just a form of exaggeration
to show how dangerous is the tongue.

421
00:28:47,595 --> 00:28:49,195
My brothers, my sisters, finally

422
00:28:49,724 --> 00:28:52,774
please remember a listener can be 
much better than a speaker.

423
00:28:53,530 --> 00:28:57,380
Remember “jazakumullah khair. Assalamu 
alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh”
