1
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,960
We all need this advice.

2
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,060
How badly we need sound hearts.
Soundness as defined by Sharia.

3
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,140
Neither blameworthy recklessness
nor blameworthy passivity.

4
00:00:27,230 --> 00:00:28,500
Cold scrupulousness.

5
00:00:29,580 --> 00:00:32,336
When something is put
in the wrong place.

6
00:00:32,420 --> 00:00:33,840
Neither required
nor praiseworthy.

7
00:00:35,380 --> 00:00:37,380
And excessive rashness.

8
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,400
When a person also puts something
in the wrong place.

9
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:44,040
Neither praiseworthy
nor blameworthy.

10
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:50,720
A person should be keen
to keep his heart sound.

11
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,460
He should possess
sound, disciplined Sharia-based zeal.

12
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,240
Then he speaks when Sharia requires
him to speak.

13
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,620
And stays silent when Sharia
deems silence praiseworthy.

14
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,960
And let him fear Allah in his speech.

15
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,860
For a word is easy
but its consequences are grave.

16
00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:28,980
Beware of speaking about anyone
because people are speaking about him.

17
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:35,580
Unless you know.

18
00:01:36,620 --> 00:01:41,399
that speaking about him is
permissible in Sharia and needed.

19
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:48,400
By Allah, it won't help you in your grave
that those around you maligned so-and-so.

20
00:01:49,940 --> 00:01:53,456
Rather, what will benefit you is that
Allah knows what is in your heart.

21
00:01:53,540 --> 00:01:56,396
that you knew the Sharia required
you to speak

22
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:57,820
so you spoke.

23
00:02:01,140 --> 00:02:06,740
Speaking because of one's
surroundings is dangerous to a person.

24
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,696
But if you know that Sharia
requires you to speak.

25
00:02:13,780 --> 00:02:16,536
Or if you are permitted to speak,
then speak.

26
00:02:16,620 --> 00:02:19,360
And do not hesitate.
This is jihad in the path of Allah.

27
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,040
But do not take pleasure
in dishonoring people.

28
00:02:29,940 --> 00:02:30,520
Stop.

29
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,200
Within Sharia's limits.

30
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,960
Someone may speak about a person
you hate for Allah's sake.

31
00:02:40,940 --> 00:02:45,900
Because of his innovation
for which he should be hated.

32
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,100
He speaks against his honor,
so defend his honor.

33
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,560
Allah has not permitted us
to speak about opponents' women.

34
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,920
Rather, we speak of violating the Sharia.

35
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,940
We endure, seek reward,
persist, and strive.

36
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,720
Women's tongues are swifter
to do harm than men's tongues.

37
00:03:21,340 --> 00:03:25,876
So a woman should strive
for righteousness and reform.

38
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,160
For if the woman is righteous,
the Ummah is righteous.

39
00:03:31,380 --> 00:03:34,326
And if she is corrupt,
it causes much corruption.

40
00:03:34,410 --> 00:03:37,560
So the Prophet ﷺ said,
"I have not left..."

41
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,580
After me, there is no trial for men
more harmful than women.

42
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,496
Her body may be a temptation.

43
00:03:52,580 --> 00:03:54,156
Her speech may be a temptation.

44
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,180
She may be a temptation
through unsound religiosity.

45
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,640
If a woman belongs to a partisan group.

46
00:04:07,820 --> 00:04:14,360
This is a grave innovation that
may cause most of the family to join it.

47
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,236
A woman's righteousness is a great good.

48
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:25,920
And a woman should strive to avoid.

49
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,200
Whatever Allah ﷻ has forbidden,
she should strive to avoid.

50
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,920
Three grave matters.

51
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:45,260
They are: ingratitude
to one's husband and frequent complaining.

52
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:47,620
And frequent cursing.

53
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,160
For these are among women's
downfalls.

54
00:04:55,100 --> 00:05:01,836
The Prophet ﷺ preached to the men on Eid
then went to the women and said.

55
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:07,300
Give in charity, for I saw you
make up most of the people of Hellfire.

56
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,020
Or he said, "Most of you are
the fuel of Hell."

57
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,280
We said, “Why, O Messenger of
Allah?”

58
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:24,260
He said: Because you complain often
and are ungrateful to your husbands.

59
00:05:26,580 --> 00:05:28,016
And in another narration.

60
00:05:28,100 --> 00:05:32,440
Because you curse often
and are ungrateful to your husbands.

61
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,740
This hadith indicates that women
should give charity often.

62
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:53,296
She should also pay heed
to what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

63
00:05:53,380 --> 00:05:58,400
If a woman prays her five prayers
and fasts the month of Ramadan,

64
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:06,132
"and guarded her chastity—
or protected it—and obeyed her husband."

65
00:06:06,592 --> 00:06:10,712
"She will be told:
Enter any gate of Paradise you wish."

66
00:06:13,232 --> 00:06:19,892
So with her zeal for goodness
she should hold to these four and charity.

67
00:06:21,832 --> 00:06:24,108
Being keen on the obligatory prayers.

68
00:06:24,192 --> 00:06:27,652
This is among the signs
of a servant's success, man or woman.

69
00:06:29,172 --> 00:06:33,252
And being keen on obligatory fasting.
And being keen on chastity.

70
00:06:35,732 --> 00:06:39,792
And its means, such as hijab and the like.

71
00:06:40,852 --> 00:06:43,652
And being keen on obeying one's husband.

72
00:06:45,932 --> 00:06:50,212
Along with charity.
And then, how beautiful it is!

73
00:06:51,652 --> 00:06:55,292
For a woman, in light of this,
to seek knowledge and spread good.

74
00:07:00,132 --> 00:07:04,192
Holding fast to what we mentioned
without neglecting any of it.

75
00:07:06,032 --> 00:07:09,948
Knowing the Sunnah, mindful of
Allah ﷻ.

76
00:07:10,032 --> 00:07:15,112
Fearing her Lord, guarding her
tongue, and watching it.

77
00:07:16,652 --> 00:07:18,852
Fearing that her tongue may lead
her to destruction.

78
00:07:20,572 --> 00:07:21,632
So I ask Allah ﷻ.

79
00:07:22,812 --> 00:07:27,428
May He honor our women
and Muslim women with taqwa.

80
00:07:27,512 --> 00:07:37,322
And make them a means of righteousness
for their families and those around them.

81
00:07:38,332 --> 00:07:40,232
And put goodness and blessing in them.

82
00:07:41,112 --> 00:07:44,452
And protect them from their own evil.

83
00:07:45,112 --> 00:07:49,412
And the evil of their tongues,
and the devils of mankind and jinn.

84
00:07:51,352 --> 00:07:56,972
And keep us and them away
from innovated factionalism.

85
00:07:58,352 --> 00:08:03,752
And from groups that split
into parties.

86
00:08:04,792 --> 00:08:10,412
And make us follow the way of the
righteous Salaf, RA.

87
00:08:10,972 --> 00:08:13,752
Which is all mercy
and goodness.

88
00:08:13,932 --> 00:08:19,692
All of it: all gentleness,
all justice, and all reform.

89
00:08:19,792 --> 00:08:25,512
Mercy to the person himself;
Mercy to those around him; ruler's safety.

90
00:08:25,632 --> 00:08:26,432
and the governed.

91
00:08:27,852 --> 00:08:32,372
So I ask Allah ﷻ to honor us
with it and keep us firm on it.

92
00:08:33,412 --> 00:08:34,352
And if we err.

93
00:08:35,452 --> 00:08:39,202
Regarding anything in it, may He
make us among those who return and repent.

94
00:08:40,212 --> 00:08:43,712
And may He honor us
with brothers of ours.

95
00:08:45,032 --> 00:08:47,832
who advise us and help us be patient.

96
00:08:48,432 --> 00:08:54,052
and help us stay firm upon this
noble way. And Allah Most High knows best.
