00:03:30,280 And it has keys. 57 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,080 Indeed, evil and the commission of sins have consequences. 58 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,879 And reprehensible deeds are sources of disgrace. 59 00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:38,080 And it has keys. 60 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,280 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 61 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,680 Indeed, among people are those who serve as keys to goodness. 62 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,879 keys to evil 63 00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:50,280 And indeed, among people are those who are keys to evil. 64 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,680 Keys to goodness. 65 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,680 Blessed, then, is the one whom Allah has made 66 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,479 The keys to goodness are placed in his hands. 67

classified as hasan by al-Albani. 70 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,080 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him: 71 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,680 That the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 72 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,480 He stopped by a group of people who were sitting. 73 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,480 He then said, "Shall I not inform you of who among you is the best and who is the worst?" 74 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,279 He said, "Then they remained silent." 75 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,879 He said that three times. 76 00:04:26,879 --> 00:04:30,079 A man then said, "Rather, O Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him." 77 00:04:30,079 --> 00:04:33,279 He informed us of the best among us and the worst among us. 78 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,279 He said, "The best of you..." 79 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,079 One whose goodness is hoped for and whose evil is kept at bay. 80 00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:40,680 And the worst of you. 81 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,279 He from whom no good is expected. 82 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,279 And his evil is not to be felt secure against. 83 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,879 It was recorded by al-Tirmidhi, and al-Albani classified it as authentic. 84 00:04:48,879 --> 00:04:50,680 Honorable brothers and sisters, 85 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,480 I derive benefit from these two hadiths. 86 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,279 There are some people who 87 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,910 Who is like a source of well-being for others? 88 00:04:58,910 --> 00:05:00,709 A key to goodness. 89 00:05:00,709 --> 00:05:02,709 And an ambassador of guidance 90 00:05:02,709 --> 00:05:04,709 And a messenger of reform. 91 00:05:04,709 --> 00:05:06,310 and a lock against evil. 92 00:05:06,310 --> 00:05:08,110 And he repels affliction. 93 00:05:08,110 --> 00:05:09,910 And he who prevents the descent of divine retribution. 94 00:05:09,910 --> 00:05:13,509 And it is a safety valve against the wrath of the Most Merciful. 95 00:05:13,509 --> 00:05:16,509 When he is present, he provides benefit and excels in his conduct. 96 00:05:16,509 --> 00:05:19,910 And when he spoke, he brought benefit and provided guidance. 97 00:05:19,910 --> 00:05:22,509 And if he directs himself with sincerity and truthfulness. 98 00:05:22,509 --> 00:05:24,110 He is like the life-giving rain. 99 00:05:24,110 --> 00:05:26,509 Wherever it falls, it brings benefit. 100 00:05:26,509 --> 00:05:28,709 He is blessed wherever he may be. 101 00:05:28,709 --> 00:05:30,110 And among the people are those who 102 00:05:30,110 --> 00:05:33,310 Who is like the ailment and the disease? 103 00:05:33,310 --> 00:05:35,509 When he would sit with his companions. 104 00:05:35,509 --> 00:05:38,110 He occupied them with that which harms them. 105 00:05:38,110 --> 00:05:39,709 And it does not benefit them. 106 00:05:39,709 --> 00:05:42,509 He deprives them and diverts them away from goodness. 107 00:05:42,509 --> 00:05:45,910 And he guides them toward the gates of evil and wrongdoing. 108 00:05:45,910 --> 00:05:49,709 He enlisted himself to fulfill the desires of Satan. 109 00:05:49,709 --> 00:05:52,509 in spreading vice and corruption. 110 00:05:52,509 --> 00:05:54,310 Thus, he became, by virtue of that, 111 00:05:54,310 --> 00:05:56,310 A key to evil. 112 00:05:56,310 --> 00:06:00,060 He is a barrier to all good, and we seek refuge in Allah from that. 113 00:06:00,060 --> 00:06:02,060 Honorable brothers and sisters, 114 00:06:02,060 --> 00:06:05,860 Has any one of us ever asked himself one day 115 00:06:05,860 --> 00:06:08,660 Am I among those who unlock the doors to goodness? 116 00:06:08,660 --> 00:06:12,459 Or am I among the keys to evil, and I seek refuge in Allah from that. 117 00:06:12,459 --> 00:06:14,660 How many things do we witness, O servants of Allah? 118 00:06:14,660 --> 00:06:16,660 Among the gateways to goodness 119 00:06:16,660 --> 00:06:19,459 Which awaits someone to open it. 120 00:06:19,459 --> 00:06:22,060 How many doors of evil do we see? 121 00:06:22,060 --> 00:06:25,660 Which awaits someone to close it. 122 00:06:25,660 --> 00:06:28,060 Let us therefore hasten, noble brothers and sisters. 123 00:06:28,060 --> 00:06:31,060 And let us hasten to open the doors of goodness. 124 00:06:31,060 --> 00:06:33,259 And closing the doors of evil. 125 00:06:33,259 --> 00:06:36,259 Let us call to mind the words of the noble Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 126 00:06:36,259 --> 00:06:38,660 May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 127 00:06:38,660 --> 00:06:40,660 Whoever calls others to guidance 128 00:06:40,660 --> 00:06:43,060 He would have a reward equivalent to that. 129 00:06:43,060 --> 00:06:45,060 like the rewards of those who followed him. 130 00:06:45,060 --> 00:06:48,259 That does not diminish their rewards in the slightest. 131 00:06:48,459 --> 00:06:50,660 And whoever calls others toward his misguidance 132 00:06:50,660 --> 00:06:53,060 He would bear the burden of that sin. 133 00:06:53,060 --> 00:06:55,660 ...like the sins of those who followed him. 134 00:06:55,660 --> 00:06:59,259 That does not diminish their sins in the slightest. 135 00:06:59,259 --> 00:07:00,860 It was recorded by Muslim. 136 00:07:00,860 --> 00:07:03,259 Among the honorable instances is 137 00:07:03,259 --> 00:07:06,660 One of the many instances of goodness. 138 00:07:06,660 --> 00:07:08,660 They were raised upon goodness. 139 00:07:08,660 --> 00:07:10,660 And they spoke only that which is good. 140 00:07:10,660 --> 00:07:12,660 And they judged with goodness. 141 00:07:12,660 --> 00:07:17,060 That is what has been narrated on the authority of Ali Ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him. 142 00:07:17,060 --> 00:07:18,660 May Allah be pleased with him. 143 00:07:18,660 --> 00:07:21,259 He noticed that a piece of his armor was missing. 144 00:07:21,259 --> 00:07:23,459 She was dear to him. 145 00:07:23,459 --> 00:07:28,259 Then, it was not long before he found it in the hand of a Jewish man. 146 00:07:28,259 --> 00:07:30,860 He sells it in the market of Kufa. 147 00:07:30,860 --> 00:07:33,060 When he saw her, he recognized her. 148 00:07:33,060 --> 00:07:35,060 And he said, "This is my armor." 149 00:07:35,060 --> 00:07:37,459 I fell from my camel. 150 00:07:37,459 --> 00:07:39,259 On such and such a night 151 00:07:39,259 --> 00:07:41,060 And in such-and-such a place 152 00:07:41,060 --> 00:07:43,060 Then the dhimmi woman said: 153 00:07:43,060 --> 00:07:44,459 Rather, it is my shield. 154 00:07:44,459 --> 00:07:46,860 And in my hand, O Commander of the Faithful. 155 00:07:46,860 --> 00:07:49,660 And let the judge of the Muslims be the arbiter between you and me. 156 00:07:49,660 --> 00:07:52,060 Ali said, "You have spoken justly." 157 00:07:52,060 --> 00:07:54,259 So come towards it. 158 00:07:54,259 --> 00:07:56,660 When he appeared before the judge, 159 00:07:56,660 --> 00:07:58,660 In the session of the judiciary. 160 00:07:58,660 --> 00:08:01,060 The judge said to ‘Ali: 161 00:08:01,060 --> 00:08:02,660 May Allah be pleased with him. 162 00:08:02,660 --> 00:08:04,259 I have no doubt about it. 163 00:08:04,259 --> 00:08:07,259 In that you are truthful in what you say. 164 00:08:07,259 --> 00:08:08,860 O Commander of the Faithful. 165 00:08:08,860 --> 00:08:10,060 However, 166 00:08:10,060 --> 00:08:12,860 You must have two witnesses. 167 00:08:12,860 --> 00:08:14,459 'Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, said: 168 00:08:14,459 --> 00:08:15,459 Yes. 169 00:08:15,459 --> 00:08:17,259 Mawla Qanbar 170 00:08:17,259 --> 00:08:18,860 And Al-Hasan was born. 171 00:08:18,860 --> 00:08:20,459 They both bear witness on my behalf. 172 00:08:20,459 --> 00:08:21,860 The judge then said 173 00:08:21,860 --> 00:08:24,860 However, the testimony of a son on behalf of his father 174 00:08:24,860 --> 00:08:26,060 It is not permissible. 175 00:08:26,060 --> 00:08:28,459 Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, said: 176 00:08:28,459 --> 00:08:30,060 Glory be to Allah. 177 00:08:30,060 --> 00:08:32,659 A man from the people of Paradise. 178 00:08:32,659 --> 00:08:34,860 His testimony is not admissible. 179 00:08:34,860 --> 00:08:37,059 Or have you not heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him? 180 00:08:37,059 --> 00:08:39,860 peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, says 181 00:08:39,860 --> 00:08:41,659 Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn 182 00:08:41,659 --> 00:08:44,259 The two masters of the youth of Paradise. 183 00:08:44,460 --> 00:08:46,059 It was recorded by al-Tirmidhi. 184 00:08:46,059 --> 00:08:47,460 The judge then said 185 00:08:47,460 --> 00:08:49,659 Yes, O Commander of the Faithful. 186 00:08:49,659 --> 00:08:50,860 However, I 187 00:08:50,860 --> 00:08:54,460 I do not permit the testimony of a child on behalf of their parent. 188 00:08:54,460 --> 00:08:55,659 At that moment 189 00:08:55,659 --> 00:08:58,259 ‘Ali turned toward the dhimmi woman. 190 00:08:58,259 --> 00:08:59,860 He said, "Take it." 191 00:08:59,860 --> 00:09:02,460 I have no witness other than those two. 192 00:09:02,460 --> 00:09:04,059 Then the dhimmi woman said: 193 00:09:04,059 --> 00:09:05,860 Yet, I bear witness. 194 00:09:05,860 --> 00:09:09,059 That the armor is indeed your armor, O Commander of the Faithful. 195 00:09:09,059 --> 00:09:11,059 He then added, saying: 196 00:09:11,059 --> 00:09:12,860 How truly astonishing! 197 00:09:12,860 --> 00:09:14,460 The Commander of the Faithful 198 00:09:14,460 --> 00:09:16,860 He summons me to appear before his judge. 199 00:09:16,860 --> 00:09:19,259 And his judge shall pass judgment in my favor against him. 200 00:09:19,259 --> 00:09:20,259 I bear witness 201 00:09:20,259 --> 00:09:23,259 Verily, the religion that commands this is the truth. 202 00:09:23,259 --> 00:09:26,059 I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah. 203 00:09:26,059 --> 00:09:29,059 And I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. 204 00:09:29,059 --> 00:09:30,860 Thus it is, O servants of Allah. 205 00:09:30,860 --> 00:09:32,460 This is how they were. 206 00:09:32,460 --> 00:09:34,860 And this is how we ought to be. 207 00:09:34,860 --> 00:09:37,059 Be a key, O servant of Allah. 208 00:09:37,059 --> 00:09:39,860 Be a key to goodness, O servant of Allah. 209 00:09:39,860 --> 00:09:41,659 Speaking only of what is good. 210 00:09:41,659 --> 00:09:43,659 Eager for every form of goodness. 211 00:09:43,659 --> 00:09:45,659 Glad tidings, then, and more glad tidings. 212 00:09:45,659 --> 00:09:47,659 To whoever is like that. 213 00:09:47,659 --> 00:09:50,259 And strives to remain so. 214 00:09:50,259 --> 00:09:52,860 O Allah, make us keys to goodness. 215 00:09:52,860 --> 00:09:54,659 And locks against evil. 216 00:09:54,659 --> 00:09:56,460 Conclude our lives with goodness. 217 00:09:56,460 --> 00:09:59,259 And make the outcomes of our affairs lead to good. 218 00:09:59,259 --> 00:10:01,259 Make our dwelling place pleasant. 219 00:10:01,259 --> 00:10:03,259 And grant us a beautiful end. 220 00:10:03,259 --> 00:10:04,860 O Allah, answer our prayers. 221 00:10:04,860 --> 00:10:07,460 May Allah bless me and you through the Great Qur'an. 222 00:10:07,460 --> 00:10:11,259 And may He benefit me and you with the verses and wise reminders it contains. 223 00:10:11,259 --> 00:10:12,659 I say what you hear. 224 00:10:12,659 --> 00:10:14,059 And I seek the forgiveness of Allah for myself and for you. 225 00:10:14,059 --> 00:10:15,259 So seek His forgiveness. 226 00:10:15,259 --> 00:10:17,259 For He is the Oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful. 227 00:10:17,259 --> 00:10:21,889 Praise be to Allah. 228 00:10:21,889 --> 00:10:25,429 And I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah. 229 00:10:25,429 --> 00:10:29,019 And I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. 230 00:10:29,019 --> 00:10:31,620 May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 231 00:10:31,620 --> 00:10:35,840 To proceed, O servants of Allah: 232 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,840 The world was occupied days ago. 233 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,350 By the painful incident. 234 00:10:41,350 --> 00:10:44,740 Of the Moroccan child, Rayan. 235 00:10:44,740 --> 00:10:46,740 The events of the rescue. 236 00:10:46,740 --> 00:10:48,799 And the event of death. 237 00:10:48,799 --> 00:10:51,120 And the passing of Rayan. 238 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,120 And the grief of his departure. 239 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,120 Everyone grieved. 240 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,120 It was not just the grief of the Moroccans. 241 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,120 It was as if the delay. 242 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,120 Came for a divine wisdom. 243 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,120 To console a mother. 244 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,120 Or to grant patience to a father. 245 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,120 So that millions might pray. 246 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,120 For him. 247 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,120 In a mosque. 248 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,120 Or a home, or a procession. 249 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,120 We ask Allah to make him an intercessor for his parents. 250 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,120 And to bind their hearts with patience. 251 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,120 And the heart of everyone who has lost a loved one. 252 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,120 Despite the pain in this incident. 253 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,120 It was a gift to the Ummah. 254 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,120 Containing a number of lessons and admonitions. 255 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,120 The brotherly bond between Muslims was clearly manifested. 256 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,120 They were, by the grace of Allah, as one heart. 257 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,120 Not divided by. 258 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,120 Nationalities. 259 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,120 Or borders. 260 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,120 Or languages. 261 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,120 Rather, they sympathized with the child and his parents. 262 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,120 And their tongues were moist with prayers for him and his parents. 263 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,120 And with prayers for the rescuers to be granted success and guidance. 264 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,120 And the words of the Truthful and Trusted one (the Prophet) were proven true regarding them. 265 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,120 "The likeness of the believers in their mutual love." 266 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,120 "And their mercy and compassion." 267 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,120 "Is like the body." 268 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,120 "If one part of it suffers." 269 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,120 "The rest of the body joins it." 270 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,120 "In sleeplessness and fever." 271 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,120 Narrated by Muslim. 272 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,120 The meaning is that Muslims. 273 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,120 Feel each other's pain. 274 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,120 And their calamities. 275 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,120 So they hasten to provide aid and assistance. 276 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,120 Like the single body. 277 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,120 If one limb is diseased. 278 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,120 The rest of the body suffers with it. 279 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,120 This is a reminder to the Muslims. 280 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,120 To be as such. 281 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,120 In all their affairs. 282 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,120 And whoever contemplates, O servants of Allah. 283 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,120 The state of his Muslim brothers. 284 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,120 Will find grave events. 285 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,120 From the displacement of peoples. 286 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,120 To the killing of children. 287 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,120 And women and the elderly. 288 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,120 And the violation of honor. 289 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,120 And Allah is the One whose help is sought. 290 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,120 So let us be for all believers. 291 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,120 As we were for Rayan. 292 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,120 May Allah accept him. 293 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,120 Rayan sent. 294 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,120 A message to all the children of the Muslims. 295 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,120 That everyone loves them. 296 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,120 And feels their pain. 297 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,120 And that they are dearer to us than anything else. 298 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,120 But the difference is that we. 299 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,120 May have known. 300 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,120 Of Rayan's tragedy. 301 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,120 And did not know. 302 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,120 Of the tragedy of others. 303 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,120 And how many they are. 304 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,120 And that the media. 305 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,120 Published his story. 306 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,120 And did not publish the story of others. 307 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,120 Also, and how many they are. 308 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,120 And to Allah belongs the ultimate wisdom. 309 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,120 And Allah is the Helper. 310 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,120 And He is the One whose help is sought. 311 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,120 Among the lessons and admonitions in this incident. 312 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,120 When you look at the gathering of people. 313 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,120 And the teams and machinery. 314 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,120 And all the security agencies. 315 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,120 And emergency services. 316 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,120 To attempt to rescue the child. 317 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,120 Then their inability to do so. 318 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,120 You remember the saying of the Prophet. 319 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,120 Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 320 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,120 "And know that if the Ummah were to gather." 321 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,120 "To benefit you with something." 322 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,120 "They would not benefit you except with something." 323 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,120 "That Allah has already written for you." 324 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,120 "And if they were to gather to harm you with something." 325 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,120 "They would not harm you except with something." 326 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,120 "That Allah has already written against you." 327 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,120 "The pens have been lifted." 328 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,120 "And the scrolls have dried." 329 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,120 Narrated by al-Tirmidhi and authenticated by al-Albani. 330 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,120 Indeed. 331 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,120 They wanted to rescue him and save him. 332 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,120 But the Angel of Death. 333 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,120 Preceded them and took his soul. 334 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,120 And how beautiful are the words of Abu al-Hasan al-Tihami. 335 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,120 When he lost his son, he said: 336 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,120 "I lived near my enemies, while he lived near his Lord." 337 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,120 "How different is His neighborhood from mine." 338 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,120 O noble ones. 339 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,120 And among the great acts of goodness. 340 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,120 Is striving to remove everything that causes harm. 341 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,120 To the Muslims. 342 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,120 In their religion and their worldly lives. 343 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,120 And in the noble hadith. 344 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,120 "There shall be no harm nor reciprocating harm." 345 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,120 Narrated by Ibn Majah and authenticated by al-Albani. 346 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,120 And this, O servant of Allah. 347 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,120 Applies to every harm, whether small. 348 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,120 Or large. 349 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,120 Direct or indirect. 350 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,120 And among the great harms. 351 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,120 Is the existence of open wells or pits. 352 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,120 So it is obligatory to cooperate in filling them. 353 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,120 And covering them. 354 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,120 And reporting them. 355 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,120 And likewise. 356 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,120 Removing everything that harms the Muslims. 357 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,120 In their religion or their worldly lives. 358 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,120 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 359 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,309 "I saw a man." 360 00:15:37,309 --> 00:15:39,309 "Moving about in Paradise." 361 00:15:39,309 --> 00:15:41,309 "Because of a tree he cut down." 362 00:15:41,309 --> 00:15:43,309 "From the middle of the road." 363 00:15:43,309 --> 00:15:45,309 "That was harming the people." 364 00:15:45,309 --> 00:15:46,309 Narrated by Muslim. 365 00:15:46,309 --> 00:15:48,309 We ask Allah, the Majestic, the Exalted. 366 00:15:48,309 --> 00:15:51,309 We ask Allah by His most beloved names to Him. 367 00:15:51,309 --> 00:15:54,309 To grant us all success in doing good deeds. 368 00:15:54,309 --> 00:15:56,309 And calling others to them. 369 00:15:56,309 --> 00:15:58,309 And to grant us success in abandoning evil deeds. 370 00:15:58,309 --> 00:16:00,309 And in forbidding them. 371 00:16:00,309 --> 00:16:02,309 And to conclude our lives with goodness. 372 00:16:02,309 --> 00:16:04,309 And to rectify the state of the Muslims. 373 00:16:04,309 --> 00:16:08,309 And to make the outcomes of their affairs lead to good. 374 00:16:08,309 --> 00:16:10,309 O Allah, O Hearer of prayers. 375 00:16:10,309 -->
