00:00Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, for example, in Hadith Qudsi,
00:07ููุจูููุง ุขุฏูู
ู ุฃููููููู ุฃููููููู ุนููููููู
00:10O son of Adam, spend and I will spend on you.
00:14Or when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says,
00:17ู
ููู ููุงูู ููู ุญูุงุฌูุฉู ุฃูุฎูููู ููุงูู ุงูููููู ููู ุญูุงุฌูุชููู
00:20Whoever is in the service of his brother, Allah is in his service.
00:24Think about the extent of those words.
00:26How much will you spend on your brother?
00:31And how much do you want from Allah?
00:33How much will you take care of the vulnerable?
00:36And how much do you expect from Allah when you yourself are vulnerable?
00:41ู

00:44Whoever covers or conceals the fault of his brother,
00:49Allah will cover his fault or conceal his fault on the day of judgment.
00:53How much are you willing to conceal your brother's fault?
00:57And how badly do you want Allah to conceal your flaws on the day of judgment?
01:02Think about that.
01:03Because the extent counts as well when you include in the equation Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
01:08What do I want from Allah and what am I willing to give to the people?
01:12If I'm willing to only somewhat cover the shame of my brother,
01:16then I can expect on the day of judgment that my shame will also be exposed.
01:20And if I'm willing to put my brother on blast or my sister on blast,
01:25and slander and gossip,
01:27then I can expect that the same will be done with me on the day of judgment
01:30where I will be in utter humiliation.
01:32For the humiliation that I caused to someone else.
01:35The Prophet shallallahu alaihi wa sallam says,
01:36ู
ููู ููุณููุฑู ุนูููู ู
ูุนูุตูุฑู
01:39Whoever facilitates or makes something easy for one who is in hardship.
01:44ููุณููุฑู ุงูููููู ุนููููููู ููู ุงูุฏููููููุง ููุงููุขุฎูุฑูุฉู
01:46Allah will make things easy for him in this life and the next.
01:51Once again, the Prophet shallallahu alaihi wa sallam is telling us,
01:54to what extent will you seek to alleviate the hardship of another?
02:00And to what extent do you want Allah to alleviate your own hardship
02:04on the day of judgment?
02:06When Allah says in the Quran,
02:08ููุงููููุนููููุง ููุงููููุตูููุญููุง
02:10ุฃูููุง ุชูุญูุจููููู ููุบูููุฑู ุงูููููู ููููู

02:13Let them forgive and pardon.
02:15Don't you want Allah to pardon you?
02:18Don't you want Allah to forgive you?
02:20Allah adds an element to it.
02:22You know when you kind of forgive,
02:25but you make sure that the person never forgets that you forgave,
02:29and you make them wish you never forgave them in the first place,
02:33because of how often you remind them of their transgression,
02:37and how little your forgiveness actually is,
02:41then you can expect the same from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
02:45How badly do you want to come on the day of judgment,
02:48and see that your major transgressions are forgiven?
02:52How badly do you want Allah to not make even mention,
02:56to not even make mention of your transgressions?
02:59And are you holding other people to that standard?
03:02Are you doing the same with other people?
03:05The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
03:07he said that whoever severs the ties of kinship,
03:10Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala cuts him off.
03:13You cut off your brother and sister.
03:16Allah cuts you off.
03:18And I think about this a lot because,
03:20you know subhanallah, you know when you go to the Eid Salah,
03:22sometimes you got two people that aren't talking to each other.
03:25It's awkward.
03:26Ramadan, people are fasting.
03:29Jum'ah, you got people trying to avoid each other in a family.
03:32Right?
03:33And you think about this.
03:35The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says,
03:39that every three days,
03:41every three days,
03:44the deeds are presented to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
03:47Monday and Thursday meeting.
03:48The deeds are presented to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
03:51Your good deeds ascend to Allah.
03:53Every Monday and Thursday.
03:55And the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
03:58Allah looks to two people that are quarreling.
04:01And Allah says,
04:02ุฃููุธูุฑููุง ููุฐููููู ุญูุชููู ููุตูุทูููุญูุง
04:06Leave these two until they fix that which is between them.
04:11Leave them.
04:12You know, you think about the silly things
04:16that you allow to put barriers
04:19between you and your brother or sister,
04:20you and your family members.
04:22That could have cost you Ramadan.
04:25That could have cost you your hajj.
04:27That could cost you all of these things.
04:29Why? Because of your ego essentially.
04:32Because of your ego.
04:34Now this does not refer to, just to be clear,
04:36because I've got to give this disclaimer,
04:38an abuser and the one who is abused.
04:40This refers to quarreling.
04:43Making islah with those that you quarrel with.
04:45Reconciling with those that you quarrel with.
04:47Don't you want Allah to do that with you?
04:50Don't you want Allah to treat you the same way?
04:53So why not forgive and why not pardon?
04:55And one thing that's very noticeable
04:57about all of these ayat and all of these ahadith,
05:00is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
05:02he uses the exact same wording every single time.
05:06And Allah uses the exact same wording every single time.
05:09ุงูุฑูุญูู

05:12Show mercy to those on this earth,
05:14and the one who is in the heavens will show mercy to you.
05:17Spend and I will spend on you.
05:20Forgive, don't you want Allah to forgive you?
05:23All of these times the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
05:25uses the exact same wording
05:27to show you that Allah will treat you
05:31exactly as you treat other people.
05:33Allah will hold you to the standards
05:35that you hold other people.
05:38And so you want that mercy from God?
05:41How much of it are you willing to manifest as a human being?
05:45How much of it are you willing to give to someone else?
