Inciting Muslims Against Each Other

Inciting Muslims Against Each Other

Opening of the Khutbah

(السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ - assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh)

(بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ - bismillahir-rahmanir-rahim)

(الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَعِينُهُ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُهُ، وَنَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ شُرُورِ أَنْفُسِنَا وَمِنْ سَيِّئَاتِ أَعْمَالِنَا ، مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللهُ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهُ، وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ وَسَلَامُهُ عَلَيْهِ - alhamdu lillah, nahmaduhu wa nasta'inuhu wa nastaghfiruhu, wa na'udhu billahi min shururi anfusina wa min sayyi'ati a'malina, man yahdihillahu fala mudilla lahu, wa man yudlil fala hadiya lahu, wa ashhadu an la ilaha illallah wahdahu la shareeka lahu, wa ashhadu anna muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluh salawatullahi wa salamuhu alayh)

All praise belongs to Allah. We praise Him, we seek His forgiveness and His guidance. We seek refuge in Allah from the evils of our own ego and the evil results of our deeds.

Anyone whom Allah guides, then no one can lead him astray. And anyone whom Allah leaves astray, then there is none that can guide him. And I bear witness that there is nothing worthy of worship and no gods in reality, except the one God, Allah, who is alone and has no partners.

And I bear witness that Muhammad ibn Abdillah, is His slave and His messenger.

Ayat from the Quran

Allah says what could mean in the Quran:

"O you who believe, have taqwa of Allah as is His right, and do not die except as Muslims."

O you who believe, have taqwa for Allah, meaning mention Allah, remember Allah, respect Allah. As it is His right to be, have this amount of taqwa. And don't you dare die, except that you die as Muslims.

He says in another place:

"O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allah, through whom you ask one another, and the wombs. Indeed Allah is ever, over you, an Observer."

O mankind, fear your Lord, your Lord being Allah, the one who created you all from one soul, Adam, and created from that soul its mate, Eve, and raised up and spread from the two of them, many men and women.

And fear Allah, the one whom you ask things for, and don't cut ties with the wombs that bore you. Indeed, Allah above us all is a guardian watcher.

In another place, Allah says what could mean:

"O you who believe, fear Allah and speak words of appropriate justice. He will then amend for you your deeds and forgive you your sins. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly attained a great attainment."

O you who believe, fear Allah, be conscious of Allah, think about Allah, and in light of that, say a word that goes straight to the point. If you do that, Allah will rectify something that you did wrong, correct something you did wrong, and forgive you your crimes, and whoever is obeying Allah, and obeying his messenger, has already achieved the highest thing he can possibly achieve.

Introduction

As for what follows, then we should know, that the best speech is the book of Allah, the Quran. And the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad. And the most evil of affairs are those things that we make up ourselves, those things that we as individuals think are good, and we introduce those things into Islam, and these things always lead us astray. And everything that leads us astray, will eventually lead us to the hellfire.

Main Hadith

Allah's messenger said in a tremendous hadith, it's narrated by Imam Muslim, and it's in the 40th hadith, An- Nawawi. He says, about Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, he said: The messenger of Allah said, we get a narration from him, and it's a tremendous hadith.

Topic: Inciting Muslims Against Each Other

The topic of today is inciting Muslims against each other. People inspiring Muslims to hate each other, to make, not takfır, but tabdeer. Saying, this one is an innovator. That one, when we say innovator, we say mubtadi'. This one is a fasiq. This one is like this, and this one is like that. Stay away from him. Make hijrah from this one. Don't give that one salams. Inciting Muslims against Muslims.

And this is haram. This is something that is not makruh. This is evil, and it's haram. And if you go and you give the isnad, if someone comes to you and says, look, watch out for the brother. He's not clear. He's not clear. We don't know what he's on. Al mu'min yu'min. The believer is to be believed.

This is not from the salafiyyah. This is not the da'wah of the salafi. There is no such thing as super salafi. The one who claims they own it like that, that one is orphaned by his own argument. The people of knowledge are the ones being attacked. We notice from the people that do this.

It's always from somebody who does not have any recorded knowledge. They have nothing. But they always attack the person who has a reputation, who has recorded knowledge. This one is a doctor from Medina University. And this one is a sheikh because he sat with these different mashayikh. But the one talking about them is a nobody.

And he wants to get his reputation up by defaming the people who have knowledge and bringing forth principles that you do not find the ulama have. Have you ever heard of the messenger of Allah? If someone comes to you with this nonsense, with this evil, you ask them, they tell you, yo, did you know that so and so said such and such and so and so. We don't care.

Hadith on Jealousy and Envy

Have you ever heard of the messenger of Allah? The messenger of Allah said on the authority of Abu Hurairah:

"Do not be jealous." (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2563)

Don't be jealous. And jealousy, and it's a mistake I made last time we spoke. I didn't explain to you, shar'an. Alhamdulillah, when the brother said I should explain, it's shar'an. What does it mean when we say tahasadu? What does it mean to have hasad? It's not jealousy. This is the English translation, and English is very weak compared to the Arabic language.

Tahasadu is three types, but the meaning of it is tazulu ni'ma 'alan mahsud. It means that you would like, you desire, tamanni, you hope that the ni'mah that Allah chose to give somebody, and who do you think you are to desire something that Allah gave somebody else to go away? You're hating on that person. You're giving that person the evil eye, and it happens in many, many different forms.

Whether you want that ni'mah for yourself, or not. You just want it to go away. This is hasad. And we said earlier, it has three forms. The only one that's good is in the one when the man, when the Prophet said, when you don't want it to go away from that person, rather you want it for yourself also. Like the man who has wealth, and he spends his wealth, and he's a sultan over his wealth, he manages his wealth, and spends on the believers with his zakah, and you want to be like that.

Or the man who Allah has given him wisdom, and he uses that wisdom, like a judge in his halaqat, and you want to be like that. That's the only place where hasad is allowed. Other than that, it's wrong.

The Example of Hasad in the Jews

Hasad is that thing that made the Jews reject coming to Islam. Where Allah tells us:

"Many of the people of the Book wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of envy from themselves, even after the truth has become clear to them."

Many of the people of the book desire and hope that you would return back, so that you would come back to your, after you're becoming a Muslim, after having iman, to be a Kafir, And this is after they know the truth. This is the falsehood, and how far hasid can carry somebody, they don't even want you to be a believer.

More Examples of Hasad

Hasad is what caused one of the sons of Adam, to kill his brother, because his offering was not accepted, and his brother's was. Hasad will make a woman hope that her co-wife's child would die, because she's jealous that she's having a child, and that her husband got married to another woman. Hasad is extreme.

The Prophet said:

"Beware of hasad (envy), for hasad consumes good deeds just as fire consumes dry wood." (Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith 4903)

He said, well to you, be careful, stay away from Hasad, because Hasad eats up the good deeds, like the fire would eat up dry wood. So we have to be careful, when the Prophet, he tells us:

"Do not be jealous." (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2563)

Don't be Hasid. Don't have this desire, that someone else drop the ni'mah, that Allah chose, and saw fit to put in somebody else.

We Practice Hasad Even in Playing

And we do it even in playing. We even play, we play with our tongues, and we say things that are haram. You see, and it's very light. We see a brother, he's driving, or his brother, he's walking, and he's got something new.

Ah, who he think he is. Look at the sister, oh, she start wearing the ni'mah, she start wearing the ni'mah properly. Oh, so now she thinks she's following the sunnah. Oh, today, huh? Think somebody gonna marry her?

That's the evil eye and Hasad. The evil eye is type of Hasad, right? But we see it, and we need to stop. We need to become more practical in our Islam. Very practical.

Sadaqah: Restraining Your Harm

And you know what, a beautiful thing for us to realize? There's a type of sadaqah that you give from yourself, and you receive from yourself. This is the sadaqah that when you hold the evil that you have, you restrain your evil from affecting the jama'ah.

Allah's messenger, and Imam An-Nawawi, he records this in Riyadh as-Saliheen, an important book for correcting our character, and our akhlaq, and our spiritual upbringing. He says, the one who prevents his harm from reaching the ummah has given himself sadaqah from himself.

If you want to prevent your harm from... I mean, I'm sorry. If you want to get some sadaqah, prevent the harm that you give with your ugly look, with your giving the 'ayn, with you running off at the mouth, trying to say something slick. This is the western way, to say something easy off the tongue.

The Tongue: The Strongest Muscle

The strongest muscle in your body is the tongue. The strongest muscle in your body is the tongue. So much so, that every morning, in the world that we don't see, the rest of the body, they look up to the strongest one, and say, fear Allah concerning us, because we follow you. So if you're straight, we're going to be straight. And if you're crooked, we're going to be crooked. And so there's a principle that Islam keeps.

What does Allah say? There is no good whatsoever in most of our conversations. Shut your mouths. Think about what you said. The Prophet said, And he took hold of the tongue. It's enough and sufficient of you, if you control this. If you can guarantee me, what's between your jaws, and what's between your legs, I can guarantee you Jannah.

But the west has another type of dawah. And it tells you, say something slick. You gotta say something. These people are not our teachers. We have to realize, Islam has come to take us to Jannah, and the kuffar way are taking us to hell. They have nothing to offer us, that we need to take.

Lying to Make People Laugh

The Prophet, he said:

The Story of the Sahabi Who Joked

Don't we see, that one of the sahaba of the messenger of Allah, had just fought jihad, just fought jihad, with the messenger of Allah. They're returning from the battle, and he makes a joke. He says, I've never seen people more lying, more lazy, eating so much, oh man, than the Prophet and his companions.

Ha, ha, ha, ha. Ain't nobody laugh. They look at him, you must be crazy. A janent? You've gone crazy? Verily, we are telling the Prophet. And one of the sahaba got up to tell him, but guess what? Allah revealed revelation, before that companion came there, and told him. Don't make no excuses. The man came and pleaded with the messenger of Allah.

I was just joking. You're playing with Allah and his messenger? You're playing with this deen? You're making fun of somebody, because they want to practice and wear hijab, or they want to wear a kufi, or they grow a beard, or anything like that, or they're trying to do better in their deen? Is that what you're saying? Don't make no excuses. You've uttered a word of kufr, after you had iman.

Taqwa: Fear and Consciousness of Allah

So in that as an example for us, stop running your mouths. Stop just saying anything. The Prophet, he said, taqwa. What do we say it means? It means consciousness. It means to remember Allah. It means to respect Allah. It means to fear Allah. The real fear. Because there's two types of fear.

There's the fear that is unwarranted, meaning the person themselves, has some type of anxiety. So like a child, who's afraid of something white, or a little mouse, or something like that. And then there's the real fear, that's warranted. Like a man getting locked in a cage with a lion. He has a right to be fearful of that lion.

So we say, a taqwa is to be conscious, of the way and what Allah can do to us. The real fear. So respect Allah. And it's in the heart. And he pointed to it just three times.

The Heart: The Piece of Meat

And this is a reminder for us, that the Prophet said:

(Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 52; Sahih Muslim, Hadith 1599)

There is a piece of meat, it's a piece of meat in the body. If it is healthy, then the whole body is healthy. But if it's sick, if it's corrupt, then the whole body is corrupt.

Don't you see, that these kuffar are doing everything, to corrupt your hearts? And we let our children watch Spongebob, and all these mundane, stupid television shows, that have nothing but music, so low, so subtle, but it's seeping into your heart. Have nudity, and sex, and all types of bad manners, that make you dead and desensitize you, and mentally rape you daily. Until you're corrupted. And we do this to our children, and we wonder what's wrong with that?

The Main Hadith Explained

The Prophet said:

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2563)

If you want to practice Islam, be mindful of Allah. And in this general statement, again, you see Allah's Messenger starting with a general statement. The rest of the hadith, expands on this general statement. And so he says:

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2563)

He says, and next, don't pretend like you're trying to buy something, so you can raise the price up, so your man can get more money. What happens? You go to the market, and it's just another type of hustle, you're trying to rob somebody. You're trying to rob your brother.

Your brother comes to the market to buy something, and your man is over here, and you come over there, oh, I want that too, $15. The thing is worth $7. He said, well, give it to me $20. $21. He's raising the price. You don't really want to buy it. You want him to raise, he want him to spend more money.

The Prophet said, don't do it, this is haram. But if you really want it, then go ahead, barter for it. But if you don't want it, you're just trying to raise the price up, then this is dhulm. This is dhulm on your brother.

The Principle of Brotherhood

And the principle in Islam, is that Islam, it promotes ukhuwwah, meaning brotherhood, fraternal and sorority style brotherhood. We in this thing together, is not based on our nationalities. It's not based on our clan. It's based on our iman. That's what we are brothers in. Brothers in faith. And that is our new nationality.

Do Not Hate Each Other

So he says:

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2563)

"And do not hate one another." (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2563)

Don't be hating each other. You're so sensitive, super sensitive. Your brother do something to you, you can't let it go. But if you work with these kuffar every day, you let all types of stuff go by. Oh, they don't know no better. You got more rahmah for them than you got for your brothers? Is it what you're saying? No, I'm... I'm not saying nothing to that brother. I give him salams and I say, as-salamu alaykum. That's it. That's ugly.

Love and Hate in Moderation

And the Prophet said:

(Sunan at-Tirmidhi, Hadith 1997)

"Love your beloved moderately, for perhaps he will become hateful to you someday. And hate the one you hate moderately, for perhaps he will become beloved to you someday. " (Sunan at-Tirmidhi, Hadith 1997)

He said what could mean, love the person that you love might do something one day that you might make you hate them. So be easy. And hate the person that you hate. Dislike them. Get offended. Take it easy. Don't go to extremes with it. It may be that they do something that make you love them one day.

We Are a Balanced Ummah

This is our advice:

"And thus We have made you a just (balanced) nation." (Quran 2:143)

And we keep using the same proofs over and over till we get it and we finally understand. We are balanced. We don't go to these extremes. Not to the right. Not to the left. We are in the middle. We don't go to these extremes. We don't hate people.

We say Tabarak Allah. You got three days to get over it. Three days to get over it. And then you not disobey. You not doing nothing to that brother or that sister. You disobeying Allah. You going against Allah. You pitting your will against Allah. Is that what you want to do? You totally disregarding.

No, I can't let it go. Three days ain't long enough. Give me three years. Who told you you got three years?

The One Who Carries a Grudge

Don't you know that the person who carries a grudge, his forgiveness is postponed? Astaghfirullah, Subhanallah. All I say is Astaghfirullah. It don't count. It's postponed.

And even if you die on that, and you get to the doors of Jannah, Allah says leave these two until they reconcile. Leave these two until they reconcile. Leave these two until they reconcile. Are you stupid? Is it that serious? That you want to, you know how frustrating it is to sit outside the doors of Jannah and to see inside or to hear or to be that close and to be denied because of some petty dunya reason?

Is it that silly? I mean, sorry, is it that serious? You got three days.

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2563)

"And do not hate one another, and do not be jealous." (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2563)

Ain't no reason for you to be that mad. Some sisters is mad at their husbands for years. And it doesn't help. It doesn't help. It sets the stage for further confusion.

Starting a Bad Sunnah

And if they don't watch out, if they feed this mentality to the children, and then the child accepts this bad habit, and they do that when they get married, you're going to have a continuous sin. Because the Messenger of Allah said:

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith 1017)

"Whoever starts a sunnah (practice)..." (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 1017)

Whoever starts a sunnah, good or bad, they get the reward of that sunnah and the reward or punishment of everyone who follows them in that sunnah.

So you teach your children from your actions to hate your wife or to hate the husband or disrespect the home and this type of thing, and your child grows up and does that, guess what? Guess what? You're going to continue to get that crime over and over, dysfunctionality after dysfunctionality. You teach your child not to like another qabilah, another people, and they're Muslims. You're going to get the crime.

Because now you're hating the people of Allah. Are you saying these people are not Muslim?

Every Muslim is Sacred

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2564)

"Every aspect of a Muslim is sacred to another Muslim." (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2564)

He said every point and part of the Muslim is haram. Again, he gives us a general statement. And then the last part comes and explains it.

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2564)

"His blood." (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2564)

His blood is haram. You can't go kill him. His blood is haram, meaning sacred, inviolable, untouchable. Not because he can beat you up, but because Allah told you, and you're the slave of Allah. Now you want to go against Allah? Touch him.

You're not just violating that individual, you're violating your trust that you gave to Allah, that pledge of allegiance, and you're challenging Allah. What you going to do to me? I know that I'm not supposed to touch him, but I'm going to do it anyway because he's that serious to me. Oh yeah? You that bad? We used to say in Brooklyn, your arm's too short to box with God.

This was a saying we used to say in the 70s. But it's a reality. No matter what you think you're doing, you cannot deal with Allah. So you need to respect the person, not if you don't even respect him, it's because you respect Allah. Give Allah his rights, everybody else's will get theirs.

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2564)

"Every aspect of a Muslim is sacred to another Muslim." (Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2564)

Every aspect of a Muslim is haram.

His Blood, His Wealth, His Honor

His blood, his wealth. You can't cheat no Muslim. You're a fool. You are a fool if you think you can cheat a Muslim. Because we believe in the last day. And one of the things that we know, it's called yawm ad-deen. The day all debts gonna be paid. All judgments gonna be made. And Allah's gonna judge between:

"Concerning that over which they used to differ."

And all those things that they are in it disagreeing. Allah's gonna judge and decide. The rights of the slaves.

So you slickster, you take the rights of a Muslim, you only got it for a period of time. He ain't gonna lose nothing or she. On yawm al-qiyamah, they're gonna get their rights. And if you don't have enough good deeds to give them, because it's no longer you can't just do what you want, the deeds are over.

Now they gotta take from your good deeds. You don't have enough good deeds, you bankrupt, you're muflis. Then you have to take that person's nasty stinking deeds.

Inciting Muslims Against Muslims

Inciting Muslims against Muslims. The only one that does this is the one that does not realize that the Muslim is in the gang of Allah. We know about gangs, right? Bloods and Crips and all this type of stuff. Everybody thinks their gang is the biggest. We are part of a Hezbollah, not the political group. But the ones where Allah said:

"Unquestionably, the party of Allah - they are the successful."

Don't you see the gang of Allah? Those people who our OG is, is Muhammad. Abu Bakr and Umar and Uthman and Ali. The Muhajirun and the Ansar. These are the ones that we follow. These are the ones that we emulate.

And if you take on one of us, you've taken on Allah:

So take that as an example and think about it. And the last one he said:

وَعِرْضُهُ

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2564)

"And his honor."

And his honor is haram. We cannot backbite the Muslim. We cannot slander the Muslim.

Repeating Everything You Hear

It's enough for a man to be considered a liar, that he repeats everything that he hears. Yo, you heard what they said? Yo, they said, they, who are they? Name them. Them, you know them. The brothers, the sisters, they said, over at the masjid, that so and so is, you slandering somebody. Enough for a person to be considered a liar, is that they repeat everything that they hear.

Name your men. Name your isnad. Now I don't want to do that, I don't want to, who told you that? I don't want to get them in trouble, I don't want to cause no fitna. What do you mean you don't want to cause no fitna? You already caused fitna. You causing fitna by not naming it. Al-isnadu deen.

The chain of narration is the deen. If not for the isnad, then anybody could say whatever they wanted to. Name your people. How they, who told them that? Name your men. And if you can't, shut up. Simple.

Speaking Good or Remaining Silent

"Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak good or remain silent." (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 6018; Sahih Muslim, Hadith 47)

The prophet, he used that strong language, shut your mouth. He said, whoever believes in Allah. Now this is, we Ahlus Sunnah, you can include yourself or exclude yourself. It's up to you. So when the prophet said, whoever, you can include yourself or exclude yourself, that's up to you. The proof is in the action.

Whoever believes in Allah, and believes in the last day, let him say what is good. Or let him shut up. The messenger of Allah told the truth. And he used a strong word. It's enough for us to understand that.

Backbiting vs. Slander

If backbiting is, but say, you know, I'm telling you the truth. I know, it's the truth. Backbiting is considered saying something about your brother or sister, if it's the truth. And they don't like it. Who empowered you or put you in authority to say such a thing? What good is it? I'm just telling you. Why? Did I ask you? And why are you gonna go, Well, I heard the brother, so I wanted to... No, no. Who told you that that's your business?

"Part of the perfection of one's Islam is his leaving that which does not concern him." (Sunan at-Tirmidhi, Hadith 2317)

From the beauty of a person's Islam is what? Leaving those things that don't concern him.

Slander is Worse Than Backbiting

And if you're lying, if you're slandering a person, that's worse. You think he's a dirty bastard and a bum and all these other words you want to say about that person? Well, guess what? If he is, on the last day, you may be taking his dirty deeds because you're slandering him. You're backbiting him or her.

The Prohibition of Oppression, Lying, and Despising

The message here:

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2564)

"He does not oppress him, nor does he forsake him, nor does he lie to him, nor does he despise him."

The Messenger of Allah said, he doesn't oppress his brother. He doesn't disappoint his brother. When you say, ya Akhi, you coming? Inshallah. What does Inshallah mean? No.

You just didn't, when you're not man or woman enough to say no. Akhi, you gonna do that for me? I said Inshallah. Then when you don't do it, you say, Akhi, you said you was gonna do it. No, I didn't. I said Inshallah. But you made no effort. And you knew you were not gonna make any effort. So you, ya Akhilu, you disappointed your brother. You disappointed your sister on purpose.

وَلَا يَكْذِبُهُ

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2564)

"Nor does he lie to him."

You don't say he's a liar or lie to him.

وَلَا يَحْقِرُهُ

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2564)

"Nor does he despise him."

You can't hate him and despise him.

It's Enough Evil to Despise Your Brother

The Prophet said, it's enough evil. It's evil enough. It's evil enough for you to hate your brother. Have this, this,

this, this:

(Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2564)

"It is sufficient evil for a person to look down upon his Muslim brother."

It's like in your heart. And it's karahah. You dislike this person. It's enough for you to say, I like this person because he's a believer. Okay?

If you can make an excuse to live with Kufar, to walk down the street with them, to go and patronize their businesses, to ride on the buses and the subways and do your work with them, and deal with them. And these people say that Allah is a liar. These people say that Muhammad is a pedophile and say all these different things about your Prophet.

Allah is free from what they're saying. Then you can make an excuse to treat your brother with honor and treat your sister with honor.

Defend Your Muslim Brother

If you hear somebody talking bad about your brother Muslim, you take up for them like you take up for your mother. We see in the time of the Prophet, they were going on one of the battles, the battle of Tabuk. And somebody was coming that didn't leave with the army of the Prophet. And then the Prophet said, be Ka'b.

And it wasn't, it was somebody else. And so one of the Sahaba stood up and said, Oh, Ka'b ain't coming, Ya Rasulullah. His beautiful gardens have held him back. Another Sahaba jumped up and said, You're lying. Jumped right up, you're lying. We don't know nothing but good about him.

This is the Sunnah. He defended his brother. He spoke on what he know. You ain't gonna talk about my brother. No, you're lying. What you said, I'm gonna go tell him. Now what? Oh no, you shouldn't have run your mouth. You need to be quiet.

There's No Good in Most Conversations

There's no good in most of our conversations. The only good is in what? Speaking about something that's ma'ruf. Ma'ruf, something that's easily recognizable as good. Or Sadaqah. Doing some charity for somebody else. Or correcting and rectifying the situations between people.

This is my da'wah.

Closing

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

If you have any questions, you got a few minutes. Jazakumullahu khairan, Shaykh. Every time you speak, you do amaze me. May Allah bless you. Jazakumullahu khairan.

End of Khutbah
