He has many of his friends. There's people here much closer to him, like close, close friends.
00:00:05.540
But the way he made me feel, well, it's like I've known him for a lifetime.
00:00:11.200
And whenever I see him, the first thing that comes to my mind is when the Prophet said,
00:00:16.320
I came for nothing but the perfect righteous character.
00:00:18.580
And I never understood that, you know, until I did a class with Ustah Abdurrahman Hassan.
00:00:25.680
And he was telling us when somebody has good character, when we say someone has bad character,
00:00:31.320
the first thing we think is being rude to somebody.
00:00:34.000
Okay, he was rude to me. He doesn't have no manners.
00:00:36.080
But when somebody has true akhlaq, good manners, he has it first with Allah.
00:00:40.300
Because what did the Quraysh do? The Quraysh, what were they saying?
00:00:43.420
The daughters, Allah's angels are daughters. Is that good akhlaq with Allah? No, it wasn't.
00:00:48.000
When Isa came to Islam, he perfected his akhlaq with his Lord.
00:00:51.980
He understood he is the one that's truly worthy of worship.
00:00:54.160
He perfected his character and akhlaq with his Lord first.
00:00:57.920
And once you have good akhlaq and adab with Allah,
00:01:00.380
who does Allah command you to have good akhlaq and adab with?
00:01:04.180
And Isa was a walking, talking, a man of the sunnah.
00:01:07.180
You could see it from his actions, from his speech, everything.
00:01:10.420
So he had good akhlaq and adab with the Prophet, peace be upon him.
00:01:13.880
Because like the Prophet said, if he or me or anyone, any of us,
00:01:17.660
we were on some kind of falsehood, Isa is not moving.
00:01:21.860
So after someone has akhlaq with Allah and then has akhlaq with the Prophet ï·º,
00:01:28.880
he then has good adab and good character with the people around him.
00:01:31.960
And we are all a witness to how his manners and akhlaq was.
00:01:37.560
And when somebody has good akhlaq and adab with the people,
00:01:42.860
How do you have good akhlaq and adab with yourself?
00:01:47.000
I saw a recent post of his couple of weeks ago.
00:01:49.380
He's saying, you know what, there's certain things I did wrong and somebody corrected me.
00:01:55.040
That he says, I am better than committing this very sin.
00:01:57.120
And he had good akhlaq and adab finally with himself.
00:02:02.000
Wallahi, before I came to Islam, I had two free friends who died.
00:02:05.480
Never did I think a time will come that I would envy that person who died in a good way.
00:02:12.800
I thought, you know, my friends who died doing ignorant stuff,
00:02:17.060
Not once did I think, you know what, I would want to be in his shoes.
00:02:19.960
Or not once was I happy because what he died upon.
00:02:23.580
When I came to Islam and when brother Isa died and many friends died,
00:02:27.460
is the time when I understood that subhanAllah, you're actually happy.
00:02:31.800
The first couple of days when he died, it's a big loss because we know what we used to do with all the friends.
00:02:40.500
In Ramadan, the last 10 nights, the odd night I got the phone call, the 21st night I got the call.
00:02:46.340
And I thought, subhanAllah, deep inside you're just happy where he is.
00:02:50.900
And I never thought, how could you be happy for someone that's passed away?
00:02:54.180
And how could you be, in a way, jealous in a good way?
00:03:03.440
if there was anybody to remind me of the Prophet, peace be upon him, a glimpse,
00:03:08.960
There were some people who were the enemies of Allah we would be harsh towards.
00:03:17.920
And wallahi, that's how we're going to remember him.
00:03:21.540
And that's what we should represent, brothers and sisters.
00:03:28.580
and you guys, we raised the funds for his family and daughter,
00:03:33.660
which will, inshallah, go into detail what's going to happen with that.
00:03:36.300
But may Allah bless every single one of you guys.
00:03:38.080
If I'm in any way, shape, or wrong, any one of you guys,
00:03:40.100
please forgive me, inshallah, it's my shortfall.
00:03:41.480
As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.
00:03:43.720
As Muslims, yeah, you are a Dari, like it or not.
00:03:53.780
There's no excuse to say, I'm Jahil, I don't know.
00:04:00.960
You cannot leave your house as someone and says,
00:05:03.200
it was mentioned by a brother that the prophet sallallahu alayhi was a magnet to Islam
00:05:09.760
more through his actions and his mannerisms than his speech
00:05:15.420
seems like nowadays a lot of what we do is speech
00:05:39.200
and we are warned about the punishments for people
00:05:43.760
and there's aiyahs in the quran that talk about
00:05:58.980
and when the people of hellfire see and they say you know we thought you were the righteous man
00:06:04.540
you used to enjoin us to do good and forbid the evil and he said yes i used to do that to you but i never used to act upon what i used to call you to
00:06:12.120
so there's a danger here of calling to something
00:06:35.640
or you know that we deem to be a personal attack
00:07:27.940
this is the epitome of what it is to be a muslim
00:07:37.940
they did so based upon the characteristics of the prophet and his companions
