00:04:13,199 To keep us safe for it. 76 00:04:13,199 --> 00:04:15,840 And to accept it from us. 77 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,639 How swift are the days. 78 00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:20,240 And the months. 79 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,439 We have in the months of our upright religion. 80 00:04:23,439 --> 00:04:25,040 That which we rejoice in. 81 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,720 And which we await. 82 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,319 So let us be followers, not imitators. 83 00:04:30,319 --> 00:04:32,100 Servants of Allah. 84 00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:33,920 Our topic today. 85 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,839 Is about an important matter. 86 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,360 We begin with this noble verse. 87 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,240 Our Lord, the Almighty and Majestic, says. 88 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,920 After seeking refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. 89 00:04:46,079 --> 00:04:50,160 “Say: My Lord forbiddeth only indecencies, such of them as are apparent and such as are within, and sin and wrongful oppression, and that ye associate with Allah that for which no warrant hath been revealed, and that ye tell concerning Allah that which ye know not.” (7:33) 90 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,199 "What is apparent of them and what is hidden." 91 00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:56,160 “Say: My Lord forbiddeth only indecencies, such of them as are apparent and such as are within, and sin and wrongful oppression, and that ye associate with Allah that for which no warrant hath been revealed, and that ye tell concerning Allah that which ye know not.” (7:33) 92 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,879 "And that you associate with Allah." 93 00:04:58,879 --> 00:05:01,439 "And that you associate with Allah." 94 00:05:01,439 --> 00:05:05,120 "That for which He has not sent down authority." 95 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:10,560 "And that you say about Allah that which you do not know." 96 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,560 The scholars have used this noble verse. 97 00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:20,879 As a foundation for establishing the protective jealousy (ghirah) for the sake of Allah. 98 00:05:20,879 --> 00:05:23,680 Among His, the Almighty's, protective jealousy. 99 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,920 Is that He has forbidden immoralities. 100 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,600 Meaning, sins. 101 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,000 These are acts for which a legal punishment (hadd) is prescribed. 102 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,279 And sin. 103 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,480 A term for that which does not require a legal punishment. 104 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,759 And transgression. 105 00:05:35,759 --> 00:05:38,720 Which is injustice and overstepping the limits. 106 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,279 And that one should set up rivals to Allah. 107 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,120 While He is their Creator. 108 00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:45,600 Our topic, O servants of Allah. 109 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,279 Is about protective jealousy (ghirah). 110 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,319 Ghirah is a sense of honor and self-respect. 111 00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:54,959 And ghirah cannot exist without love. 112 00:05:54,959 --> 00:05:58,639 For the stronger your love for something is. 113 00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:01,040 The stronger your ghirah for it becomes. 114 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,079 Ghirah is among the attributes of Allah, the Exalted. 115 00:06:04,079 --> 00:06:06,800 The Prophet, peace be upon him, said. 116 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,680 "There is nothing more jealous than Allah." 117 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,279 Because of that. 118 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,120 He has forbidden immoralities. 119 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,680 Both the apparent and the hidden. 120 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,079 Narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim. 121 00:06:18,079 --> 00:06:20,800 Ghirah is also among the traits of the believers. 122 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,439 The Prophet, peace be upon him, said. 123 00:06:23,439 --> 00:06:25,279 "The believer possesses ghirah." 124 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,680 "And Allah is even more jealous." 125 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,519 Agreed upon. 126 00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:31,199 And the loss of ghirah. 127 00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:34,079 Is the loss of one's entire faith. 128 00:06:34,079 --> 00:06:36,720 Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, says. 129 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,000 If ghirah departs from the heart. 130 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,399 Love departs from it as well. 131 00:06:42,399 --> 00:06:44,879 Indeed, the religion itself departs from it. 132 00:06:44,879 --> 00:06:47,040 Ghirah is the foundation of jihad. 133 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,399 And of enjoining good and forbidding evil. 134 00:06:50,399 --> 00:06:52,399 For if it is absent from the heart. 135 00:06:52,399 --> 00:06:53,920 One will not strive (jihad). 136 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,399 And will not enjoin the good. 137 00:06:56,399 --> 00:06:58,160 And the loss of ghirah. 138 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,120 Is a sign of the signs of the Hour. 139 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,199 As mentioned in the traditions. 140 00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:05,680 When the end of time arrives. 141 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,279 Allah will lift four things from the earth. 142 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,759 He will lift blessings from the earth. 143 00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:14,000 Justice from the rulers. 144 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,240 Modesty from women. 145 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,199 And ghirah from the hearts of men. 146 00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:21,439 As for why ghirah is important. 147 00:07:21,439 --> 00:07:24,319 It is because when a servant is blessed with ghirah. 148 00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:26,079 He is keen. 149 00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:29,439 To be honorable and proud of his religion. 150 00:07:29,439 --> 00:07:32,639 And that the enemies of Allah should not be better than him. 151 00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:34,160 The Exalted says. 152 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,959 “Yet of mankind are some who take unto themselves (objects of worship which they set as) rivals to Allah, loving them with a love like (that which is the due) of Allah (only) - those who believe are stauncher in their love for Allah - Oh, that those who do evil had but known, (on the day) when they behold the doom, that power belongeth wholly to Allah, and that Allah is severe in punishment!” (2:165) 153 00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:43,680 "Rivals, loving them as they love Allah." 154 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,509 “Yet of mankind are some who take unto themselves (objects of worship which they set as) rivals to Allah, loving them with a love like (that which is the due) of Allah (only) - those who believe are stauncher in their love for Allah - Oh, that those who do evil had but known, (on the day) when they behold the doom, that power belongeth wholly to Allah, and that Allah is severe in punishment!” (2:165) 155 00:07:48,509 --> 00:07:52,029 'Abdullah Ibn Hudhafah al-Sahmi was taken prisoner. 156 00:07:52,029 --> 00:07:56,269 Along with a group of soldiers by the King of Rome. 157 00:07:56,269 --> 00:07:59,230 He invited him to Christianity, but he refused. 158 00:07:59,230 --> 00:08:01,389 So he tied him to a tree. 159 00:08:01,389 --> 00:08:04,910 And shot arrows between his hands and feet. 160 00:08:04,910 --> 00:08:06,350 Yet he did not show fear. 161 00:08:06,350 --> 00:08:08,509 Then he imprisoned him for days. 162 00:08:08,509 --> 00:08:11,310 When hunger reached its peak. 163 00:08:11,310 --> 00:08:13,230 He offered him wine. 164 00:08:13,230 --> 00:08:15,870 And he offered him pork. 165 00:08:15,870 --> 00:08:17,629 He said, "My religion." 166 00:08:17,629 --> 00:08:20,189 "Permits me to eat it out of necessity." 167 00:08:20,189 --> 00:08:22,430 "But I will not." 168 00:08:22,430 --> 00:08:25,149 "And I will not let a disbeliever gloat over me." 169 00:08:25,149 --> 00:08:27,149 Then he brought a great cauldron. 170 00:08:27,149 --> 00:08:29,069 And put oil in it. 171 00:08:29,069 --> 00:08:32,429 And lit a fire beneath it until it boiled. 172 00:08:32,429 --> 00:08:34,590 Then he threw one of the Muslims into it. 173 00:08:34,590 --> 00:08:35,870 And he dissolved in it. 174 00:08:35,870 --> 00:08:38,110 Just as salt dissolves in water. 175 00:08:38,110 --> 00:08:40,350 Then he brought 'Abdullah. 176 00:08:40,350 --> 00:08:41,710 He brought him to the cauldron. 177 00:08:41,710 --> 00:08:43,470 And lowered him toward it. 178 00:08:43,470 --> 00:08:45,629 When he was about to reach it. 179 00:08:45,629 --> 00:08:47,389 'Abdullah wept. 180 00:08:47,389 --> 00:08:49,470 The King of Rome rejoiced. 181 00:08:49,470 --> 00:08:51,070 And said, "Bring him out." 182 00:08:51,070 --> 00:08:53,470 Then he offered him Christianity again. 183 00:08:53,470 --> 00:08:54,590 But he refused. 184 00:08:54,590 --> 00:08:55,629 So he asked him. 185 00:08:55,629 --> 00:08:57,629 "What was the reason for your weeping?" 186 00:08:57,629 --> 00:08:59,309 He said, "Because I have." 187 00:08:59,309 --> 00:09:00,909 "Only one soul." 188 00:09:00,909 --> 00:09:02,509 "And I wished." 189 00:09:02,509 --> 00:09:04,990 "That I had a hundred souls." 190 00:09:04,990 --> 00:09:07,710 "To be sacrificed one after another." 191 00:09:07,789 --> 00:09:09,950 "For the sake of Allah, the Almighty." 192 00:09:09,950 --> 00:09:11,950 So the King of Rome asked him. 193 00:09:11,950 --> 00:09:13,710 To kiss his head. 194 00:09:13,710 --> 00:09:15,549 And that he would set him free. 195 00:09:15,549 --> 00:09:17,230 'Abdullah said. 196 00:09:17,230 --> 00:09:18,190 "No." 197 00:09:18,190 --> 00:09:20,429 "Not until you set me free." 198 00:09:20,429 --> 00:09:22,669 "And set free those who are with me as well." 199 00:09:22,669 --> 00:09:23,950 He said, "I will do it." 200 00:09:23,950 --> 00:09:25,549 So he kissed his head. 201 00:09:25,549 --> 00:09:27,149 And set him free. 202 00:09:27,149 --> 00:09:28,830 And those who were with him. 203 00:09:28,830 --> 00:09:30,429 'Abdullah returned. 204 00:09:30,429 --> 00:09:31,710 to Medina 205 00:09:31,710 --> 00:09:33,710 And 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, saw him. 206 00:09:33,710 --> 00:09:35,870 'Abdullah saw her in a state of sadness. 207 00:09:35,870 --> 00:09:37,389 Then 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, asked him. 208 00:09:37,389 --> 00:09:39,789 What is it that has saddened you, O ‘Abdullah? 209 00:09:39,789 --> 00:09:41,549 What is the cause of your sadness? 210 00:09:41,549 --> 00:09:44,190 He said, "I have kissed your head, for do you see..." 211 00:09:44,190 --> 00:09:45,470 Then ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, stood up. 212 00:09:45,470 --> 00:09:46,429 And he said 213 00:09:46,429 --> 00:09:48,669 It is a duty incumbent upon every Muslim. 214 00:09:48,669 --> 00:09:50,990 He sees that he should kiss your head. 215 00:09:50,990 --> 00:09:52,990 And I shall begin with them. 216 00:09:52,990 --> 00:09:56,190 When a servant is blessed with a sense of protective jealousy, O servants of Allah. 217 00:09:56,190 --> 00:09:58,350 The devil was far away. 218 00:09:58,350 --> 00:10:00,830 from dragging him toward disobedience. 219 00:10:00,830 --> 00:10:02,990 Indeed, protective jealousy is the best safeguard. 220 00:10:02,990 --> 00:10:04,429 Allah the Almighty says: 221 00:10:04,429 --> 00:10:09,710 And if an evil suggestion from Satan should come to you, then seek refuge in Allah. 222 00:10:09,710 --> 00:10:11,870 Seek refuge in Allah. 223 00:10:11,870 --> 00:10:15,419 Indeed, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. 224 00:10:15,419 --> 00:10:16,779 And the whisperings of Satan. 225 00:10:16,779 --> 00:10:18,460 A name for the movement. 226 00:10:18,460 --> 00:10:21,340 which is caused by the rider of the mount 227 00:10:21,340 --> 00:10:23,340 If he intends to move it. 228 00:10:23,340 --> 00:10:24,940 It is as if the devil 229 00:10:24,940 --> 00:10:27,580 He has made of the sinner a beast of burden. 230 00:10:27,580 --> 00:10:30,220 And he mounted it to carry out what he intended. 231 00:10:30,220 --> 00:10:32,059 And may Allah be pleased with ‘Umar. 232 00:10:32,059 --> 00:10:32,940 'Umar 233 00:10:32,940 --> 00:10:34,940 And what could possibly convey to you the true stature of 'Umar? 234 00:10:34,940 --> 00:10:37,500 ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him. 235 00:10:37,500 --> 00:10:39,500 Where the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, describes him. 236 00:10:39,500 --> 00:10:42,220 peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, by his saying 237 00:10:42,220 --> 00:10:44,700 If Ibn al-Khattab were to travel a path, 238 00:10:44,700 --> 00:10:46,059 Which path 239 00:10:46,059 --> 00:10:48,700 Then the devil would surely take a path other than his. 240 00:10:48,700 --> 00:10:50,379 It was recorded by al-Bukhari. 241 00:10:50,379 --> 00:10:52,379 As for the various types of protective jealousy (ghirah), 242 00:10:52,379 --> 00:10:54,779 The greatest of these is the jealousy of Allah. 243 00:10:54,779 --> 00:10:56,539 Majestic is He in His highness. 244 00:10:56,539 --> 00:10:58,539 And from His—glory be to Him—sense of protective jealousy, 245 00:10:58,539 --> 00:11:00,539 His protective jealousy for His Book. 246 00:11:00,539 --> 00:11:01,980 The One who revealed it. 247 00:11:01,980 --> 00:11:04,940 So that it may be the methodology that governs his character. 248 00:11:04,940 --> 00:11:06,379 For it is the methodology of Allah. 249 00:11:06,379 --> 00:11:09,659 He is free from ignorance, injustice, and partiality. 250 00:11:09,659 --> 00:11:11,659 These are prominent characteristics. 251 00:11:11,659 --> 00:11:13,659 Regarding the methodologies of mankind. 252 00:11:13,659 --> 00:11:16,379 So, when the servants turn away from His methodology. 253 00:11:16,379 --> 00:11:18,379 Allah is jealous for the sake of His Book. 254 00:11:18,379 --> 00:11:19,980 Thus, wretchedness was decreed for him. 255 00:11:19,980 --> 00:11:21,419 And the state of instability. 256 00:11:21,419 --> 00:11:23,019 For every dissenter. 257 00:11:23,019 --> 00:11:25,179 “But he who turneth away from remembrance of Me, his will be a narrow life, and I shall bring him blind to the assembly on the Day of Resurrection.” (20:124) 258 00:11:25,179 --> 00:11:27,980 “But he who turneth away from remembrance of Me, his will be a narrow life, and I shall bring him blind to the assembly on the Day of Resurrection.” (20:124) 259 00:11:27,980 --> 00:11:29,980 And among the manifestations of His divine jealousy—glory be to Him— 260 00:11:30,879 --> 00:11:32,879 His protective jealousy regarding the sanctity of his household. 261 00:11:32,879 --> 00:11:34,879 And everything that Allah has forbidden 262 00:11:34,879 --> 00:11:36,879 He fell into his protection. 263 00:11:36,879 --> 00:11:38,879 Thus, it is not permissible for anyone 264 00:11:38,879 --> 00:11:40,399 That he might fall into it. 265 00:11:40,399 --> 00:11:42,399 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 266 00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:45,440 Know that every king has a sanctuary. 267 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,639 Beware, for the boundaries set by Allah are His prohibitions. 268 00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:50,639 Agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim. 269 00:11:50,639 --> 00:11:53,679 Among the various forms of protective jealousy, O servants of Allah, is also... 270 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,679 From His—glory be to Him—divine jealousy. 271 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,679 His protective jealousy for His allies. 272 00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,679 When they are harmed. 273 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,679 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 274 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,679 Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, says: 275 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,679 Whoever shows hostility to a friend of Mine, I have declared war upon him. 276 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,679 For I have declared war upon him. 277 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,679 It was recorded by al-Bukhari. 278 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,679 Another form of protective jealousy also includes 279 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,679 The protective jealousy of the believer. 280 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,679 The true believer. 281 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,679 He views matters with insight. 282 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,679 By the grace of Allah. 283 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,679 Just as He, glory be to Him, has said: 284 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,679 They see it as distant. 285 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,679 And we see it to be near. 286 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,679 Ibn Kathir, may Allah have mercy on him, said: 287 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,679 That is Allah. 288 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,679 And the believers shall witness the Day of Resurrection. 289 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,679 Soon. 290 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,679 In reality. 291 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,679 He does not lag behind. 292 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,679 The believer detests what Allah detests. 293 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,679 And he is gladdened by what pleases Allah. 294 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,679 Furthermore, there is also the sense of protective jealousy (ghirah) of the believer. 295 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,679 regarding the sacred limits set by Allah 296 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,679 Our mother says 297 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,679 The Mother of the Believers, ‘A’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her. 298 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,679 May Allah be pleased with her. 299 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,679 And from the standing of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 300 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,679 May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, for his own sake. 301 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,679 unless the sacred boundaries of Allah are violated. 302 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,679 Through it, He exacts retribution for the sake of Allah. 303 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,679 It was recorded by al-Bukhari. 304 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,679 And Muslim 305 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,679 Then, his protective jealousy for his family. 306 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,679 The dayyuth (the man who lacks protective jealousy over his family) is thus the one who permits indecency among his household. 307 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,679 He is the one who possesses no protective jealousy. 308 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,679 regarding his honor and his family. 309 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,679 He is deprived of Paradise. 310 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,679 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 311 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,679 The cuckold shall not enter Paradise. 312 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,679 It was recorded by Ahmad. 313 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,679 And the man 314 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,679 He is the primary person responsible for his household. 315 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,679 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 316 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,679 Each of you is a shepherd. 317 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,679 And each of you is responsible for those under your care. 318 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,679 For the man is a shepherd. 319 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,679 regarding his family, and he is responsible for them. 320 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,679 regarding his subjects, and he commands them 321 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,679 He said, regarding obedience to Allah: 322 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,679 The Exalted, regarding Isma'il, peace be upon him. 323 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,679 He used to command 324 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,679 Encourage his family to perform the prayer. 325 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,679 And the zakat. 326 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,679 And he was in the presence of 327 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,679 well-pleased with his Lord, and He is well-pleased with him. 328 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,679 He warns them. 329 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,679 From every action. 330 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,679 He who errs should be corrected with purposeful words. 331 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,679 The goodly [word or land] was mentioned. 332 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,679 One of the wives of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 333 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,679 May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 334 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,679 A woman was mentioned. 335 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,679 In which there is a deficiency. 336 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,679 So the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 337 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,679 I have indeed spoken a word. 338 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,679 If it were mixed with the water of the sea, it would permeate it. 339 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,679 It was narrated by Abu Dawud, and I would have blended it. 340 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,679 And any [man] who corrects his spouse. 341 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,679 Concepts must be verified. 342 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,679 May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, with a sheep. 343 00:14:19,679 --> 00:14:21,679 And keep the shoulder. 344 00:14:21,679 --> 00:14:23,679 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said: 345 00:14:23,679 --> 00:14:25,679 It has all passed away. 346 00:14:25,679 --> 00:14:27,679 except for her shoulder. 347 00:14:27,679 --> 00:14:29,679 So he, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 348 00:14:29,679 --> 00:14:31,679 Rather, it all remained. 349 00:14:31,679 --> 00:14:33,679 except for her shoulder 350 00:14:33,679 --> 00:14:35,679 It was recorded by al-Tirmidhi. 351 00:14:35,679 --> 00:14:37,679 And that they both cooperate in acts of obedience. 352 00:14:37,679 --> 00:14:39,679 The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 353 00:14:39,679 --> 00:14:41,679 When a man rises in the night for prayer 354 00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:43,679 And he would awaken his family. 355 00:14:43,679 --> 00:14:45,679 Then, perform two rak'ahs. 356 00:14:45,679 --> 00:14:47,679 They are recorded with Allah among those who remember Him much. 357 00:14:47,679 --> 00:14:49,679 Allah has narrated many of them. 358 00:14:49,679 --> 00:14:51,679 And the women who remember Allah often. 359 00:14:51,679 --> 00:14:53,679 It was recorded by Abu Dawud. 360 00:14:53,679 --> 00:14:55,679 We ask Allah to rectify our affairs. 361 00:14:55,679 --> 00:14:57,679 and our descendants 362 00:14:57,679 --> 00:14:59,679 And our spouses 363 00:14:59,679 --> 00:15:01,679 Indeed, He has power over all things. 364 00:15:01,679 --> 00:15:03,679 May Allah bless me and you through the Magnificent Qur'an. 365 00:15:03,679 --> 00:15:05,679 And may Allah benefit me and you through what it contains. 366 00:15:05,679 --> 00:15:07,679 “This (which) We recite unto thee is a revelation and a wise reminder.” (3:58) 367 00:15:07,679 --> 00:15:09,679 I say what you have heard. 368 00:15:09,679 --> 00:15:11,679 And seek the forgiveness of Allah for me and for yourselves. 369 00:15:11,679 --> 00:15:14,419 So seek His forgiveness. 370 00:15:14,419 --> 00:15:16,610 Indeed, He is the All-Forgiving, the Most Merciful. 371 00:15:16,610 --> 00:15:18,610 There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah. 372 00:15:18,610 --> 00:15:20,610 And I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. 373 00:15:20,610 --> 00:15:22,610 May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. 374 00:15:22,610 --> 00:15:24,610 To proceed: 375 00:15:24,610 --> 00:15:26,610 Servants of Allah 376 00:15:26,610 --> 00:15:28,740 Among the manifestations of a believer’s protective jealousy is also 377 00:15:28,740 --> 00:15:30,740 That his religion should be 378 00:15:30,740 --> 00:15:32,740 It is greater in His sight than his own family. 379 00:15:32,740 --> 00:15:34,740 And he married her. 380 00:15:34,740 --> 00:15:36,740 Allah the Almighty says: 381 00:15:36,740 --> 00:15:38,740 O you who have believed 382 00:15:38,740 --> 00:15:40,740 Indeed, among your spouses 383 00:15:40,740 --> 00:15:42,740 and your children are an enemy to you 384 00:15:42,740 --> 00:15:44,740 So beware of them. 385 00:15:44,740 --> 00:15:46,740 Regarding 'Abd al-Rahman. 386 00:15:46,740 --> 00:15:48,740 Ibn Malik al-Ashja'i 387 00:15:48,740 --> 00:15:50,740 And whenever he intended 388 00:15:50,740 --> 00:15:52,740 He stood up for the sake of jihad. 389 00:15:52,740 --> 00:15:54,740 His family and his sons. 390 00:15:54,740 --> 00:15:56,740 Soften their state in His presence. 391 00:15:56,740 --> 00:15:58,740 And they asked, "To whom [shall we turn]?" 392 00:15:58,740 --> 00:16:00,740 Will you leave us behind after you? 393 00:16:00,740 --> 00:16:02,740 They should show compassion for their condition, so he sits down. 394 00:16:02,740 --> 00:16:04,740 Then Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, revealed: 395 00:16:04,740 --> 00:16:06,740 This verse. 396 00:16:06,740 --> 00:16:08,740 O you who have believed 397 00:16:08,740 --> 00:16:10,740 Indeed, among your spouses 398 00:16:10,740 --> 00:16:12,740 and your children are an enemy to you 399 00:16:12,740 --> 00:16:14,740 They are a threat to you, so beware of them. 400 00:16:14,740 --> 00:16:16,740 After all of this, 401 00:16:16,740 --> 00:16:18,740 O servants of Allah 402 00:16:18,740 --> 00:16:20,740 We must understand 403 00:16:20,740 --> 00:16:22,740 Indeed, the scholars 404 00:16:22,740 --> 00:16:24,740 They established the five essential objectives. 405 00:16:24,740 --> 00:16:26,740 What must be preserved 406 00:16:26,740 --> 00:16:28,740 are one's religion, intellect, 407 00:16:28,740 --> 00:16:30,740 wealth, honor, 408 00:16:30,740 --> 00:16:32,740 and life; and they have said 409 00:16:32,740 --> 00:16:34,740 that all of these are a sacrifice for the sake of religion. 410 00:16:34,740 --> 00:16:36,740 So, let the energies of the intellect be employed, 411 00:16:36,740 --> 00:16:38,740 let wealth be spent, 412 00:16:38,740 --> 00:16:40,740 and let life be sacrificed 413 00:16:40,740 --> 00:16:42,740 for the sake of religion. 414 00:16:42,740 --> 00:16:44,740 Yet, O servants of Allah, jealousy does not mean 415 00:16:44,740 --> 00:16:46,740 that a man should be 416 00:16:46,740 --> 00:16:48,740 a tyrant, 417 00:16:48,740 --> 00:16:50,740 oppressive toward his family. 418 00:16:50,740 --> 00:16:52,740 No, the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: 419 00:16:52,740 --> 00:16:54,740 "A believer 420 00:16:54,740 --> 00:16:56,740 can, through his good character, 421 00:16:56,740 --> 00:16:58,740 attain the rank of one who fasts and prays through the night." 422 00:16:58,740 --> 00:17:00,740 Narrated by Abu Dawud. 423 00:17:00,740 --> 00:17:02,740 And the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: 424 00:17:02,740 --> 00:17:04,740 "A man 425 00:17:04,740 --> 00:17:06,740 may be recorded with Allah 426 00:17:06,740 --> 00:17:08,740 in the register of the oppressors, 427 00:17:08,740 --> 00:17:10,740 while he has no one under his authority except his own household." 428 00:17:10,740 --> 00:17:12,740 Narrated by Ibn Hibban. 429 00:17:12,740 --> 00:17:14,740 Rather, one should be wise 430 00:17:14,740 --> 00:17:16,740 in his conduct, 431 00:17:16,740 --> 00:17:18,740 for every situation has its appropriate response. 432 00:17:18,740 --> 00:17:20,740 The final remedy is cauterization, 433 00:17:20,740 --> 00:17:22,740 and a gradual approach to discipline 434 00:17:22,740 --> 00:17:24,740 is mandatory. 435 00:17:24,740 --> 00:17:26,740 Allah the Almighty says: 436 00:17:26,740 --> 00:17:28,740 "And those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance— 437 00:17:28,740 --> 00:17:30,740 [first] advise them; 438 00:17:30,740 --> 00:17:32,740 [then] advise them, 439 00:17:32,740 --> 00:17:34,740 and forsake them 440 00:17:34,740 --> 00:17:36,740 in bed, 441 00:17:36,740 --> 00:17:38,740 and [finally] discipline them." 442 00:17:38,740 --> 00:17:40,740 But if they obey you, 443 00:17:40,740 --> 00:17:42,740 seek no means 444 00:17:42,740 --> 00:17:44,740 against them. 445 00:17:44,740 --> 00:17:46,740 Indeed, Allah is ever 446 00:17:46,740 --> 00:17:48,740 Exalted and Grand. 447 00:17:48,740 --> 00:17:50,740 We must not look 448 00:17:50,740 --> 00:17:52,740 at our wives from a 449 00:17:52,740 --> 00:17:54,740 dark perspective, for every 450 00:17:54,740 --> 00:17:56,740 human being has faults. 451 00:17:56,740 --> 00:17:58,740 The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: 452 00:17:58,740 --> 00:18:00,740 "No believing man 453 00:18:00,740 --> 00:18:02,740 should despise a believing woman; 454 00:18:02,740 --> 00:18:04,740 if he dislikes one of her traits, he may be pleased with another." 455 00:18:04,740 --> 00:18:06,740 Narrated by Muslim. 456 00:18:06,740 --> 00:18:08,740 The meaning of "should not despise" 457 00:18:08,740 --> 00:18:10,740 is that he should not hate her. 458 00:18:10,740 --> 00:18:12,740 Allah the Almighty says: "But perhaps you hate a thing..." 459 00:18:12,740 --> 00:18:14,740 “Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that ye hate a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that ye love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knoweth, ye know not.” (2:216) 460 00:18:14,740 --> 00:18:16,740 And you must know 461 00:18:16,740 --> 00:18:18,740 that she who accompanies you 462 00:18:18,740 --> 00:18:20,740 in your marital life 463 00:18:20,740 --> 00:18:22,740 is a human being with her own dignity, 464 00:18:22,740 --> 00:18:24,740 her own feelings, 465 00:18:24,740 --> 00:18:26,740 and a heart 466 00:18:26,740 --> 00:18:28,740 that beats with love and sensitivity. 467 00:18:28,740 --> 00:18:30,740 The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: 468 00:18:30,740 --> 00:18:32,740 "None of you should lash 469 00:18:32,740 --> 00:18:34,740 his wife 470 00:18:34,740 --> 00:18:36,740 like a slave, then have intercourse with her 471 00:18:36,740 --> 00:18:38,740 at the end of the day." 472 00:18:38,740 --> 00:18:40,740 That is a sign of 473 00:18:40,740 --> 00:18:42,740 coarseness and poor 474 00:18:42,740 --> 00:18:44,740 character.
