Among the beauties of the Prophetic biography (Seerah)

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,080
Ease and mercy

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:14,439
Neighborly connection

4
00:00:14,439 --> 00:00:17,440
A radiant, brotherly bond

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,440
Flowing seamlessly between neighbors living side by side

6
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,440
Brought together by a single neighborhood

7
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,440
Or a congregational mosque

8
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,699
Where your fragrant virtues pour forth

9
00:00:29,699 --> 00:00:32,700
Giving to them without expectation of gratitude

10
00:00:32,700 --> 00:00:35,700
And honoring them with humility

11
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:39,700
Until goodness permeates all our qualities

12
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:42,700
So that you see nothing therein but blossoming lamps

13
00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:45,700
Or moonlit gardens

14
00:00:45,700 --> 00:00:49,700
That is the excellence of neighborliness through gifts and kindness

15
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:54,299
Take this practical lesson at this very moment

16
00:00:54,299 --> 00:00:59,619
And set out to apply it in a clear and delightful way

17
00:00:59,619 --> 00:01:02,619
On the authority of Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

18
00:01:02,619 --> 00:01:06,620
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

19
00:01:06,620 --> 00:01:08,620
"O Abu Dharr,

20
00:01:08,620 --> 00:01:12,620
if you cook a broth, increase its water,

21
00:01:12,620 --> 00:01:14,620
and look after your neighbors."

22
00:01:14,620 --> 00:01:18,260
In this care lies connection and neighborliness,

23
00:01:18,260 --> 00:01:20,260
generosity and benevolence,

24
00:01:20,260 --> 00:01:22,260
affection and appreciation,

25
00:01:22,260 --> 00:01:24,260
kinship and community.

26
00:01:24,260 --> 00:01:27,260
Do not speak of what you do,

27
00:01:27,260 --> 00:01:30,260
and protect the honor and family of your neighbor,

28
00:01:31,260 --> 00:01:33,260
as well as their needs and circumstances,

29
00:01:33,260 --> 00:01:35,260
for there are secrets within homes,

30
00:01:35,260 --> 00:01:39,260
and there is brotherhood and etiquette within neighborhoods.

31
00:01:39,260 --> 00:01:41,260
In the Sahihayn, he said:

32
00:01:41,260 --> 00:01:43,260
"Let him honor his neighbor,"

33
00:01:43,260 --> 00:01:45,260
and he said:

34
00:01:45,260 --> 00:01:47,390
"He should not harm his neighbor."

35
00:01:47,390 --> 00:01:51,390
In the extra broth, when offered with kindness,

36
00:01:51,390 --> 00:01:53,390
there is goodness and purity,

37
00:01:53,390 --> 00:01:57,390
and it is more beneficial than an extravagant gift or a luxurious item

38
00:01:57,390 --> 00:01:59,390
that is boasted of everywhere

39
00:01:59,390 --> 00:02:03,390
without regard for sanctity or the rights of neighborliness.

40
00:02:03,390 --> 00:02:05,459
And Allah is the One whose help is sought.
