you
let's set that beautiful example and whilst I am talking I hope and I pray that we are
all arriving at resolutions in our minds to say inshallah I'm going to improve on this
because believe me as an Ummah we are bleeding bleeding in what way we are lacking character
and conduct that is one thing that people are really lacking as muslimeen we begin to
attack one another to hate one another to address one and other lutely to speak to one
another without any respect and even worse not even to acknowledge one another today
I look at you I see a warmth in the eyes wallahi let me tell you something when you look at
a person physically there is no substitute for that not at all never ever physically
it's a gift of Allah this is why the hadith has said let that moment be a moment where
you touch the life of the person that you've been blessed with or you've been afforded
the opportunity to actually interact with to actually physically see them touch them
quickly by saying what assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullah with a smile that's an act of
worship so I greet you it's an act of worship I smile at you looking in your eyes what Allah
he the warmth I feel it well I and you will definitely feel it you can feel the genuineness
there is a connection that will never be substituted Facebook Twitter cannot overtake that this
physical greeting is something else it is something amazing it is a gift of Allah there
is spirituality in all of us we feel that link human beings we are together look at
the person greet them that's how you touch them primarily as a Muslim and guess what
Allah says if I looked at you and I greeted you assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah and i
just looked at you you would have to say wa alaykum assalam wa rahmatullah as a bare minimum
may peace be upon you as well and the mercy of Allah and you may want to add wa barakatuhu
and his blessings you may want to add that because allah says in the quran why either
Meeta atif are you be Oxana mean haha in no naka ala kulli shayin has eva amazing end
of the vist at the beginning alice's when you are greeted with a greeting respond it
with something better or at least its equivalent look at how alice's respond with something
better that's to start with for how you react sana min ha so greet back better than it why
because someone touched your life go out and touch theirs in an even better way amazing
I may never get a chance to greet you again I may never get a chance to see you again
but at least when I saw you once I greeted you and guess what you greeted me back in
an even better way someone does good to you do good back to them in an even better way
brilliant and do not wait for someone to do good to you but do good to people whom you
interact with and others whom you can do good to as best as you can I tell you why your
life in this world is quite limited you need to pack away as many good deeds as possible
in order to be able to get to the other side one day and see a large number of good deeds
through what worshipping Allah alone we agree through the blessed teachings of muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and part of it is through touching the lives of others interacting
with them with the best character and conduct this is why muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam says kiya oakum Haseeno come at lappa the best from amongst you are those who have
brilliant character the best in character amazing sometimes we only want to interact
with a small circle but allah has let people walk past you every day you work in a certain
environment you study in a certain environment how do you interact with people someone was
asking me a question saying how do I interact with the opposite sex that is not related
to me to be honest if circumstances make you crossed paths in a way that you cannot ignore
today for example I flew over to this beautiful country papa and when I got to the counter
was a female so within whatever I can with respect bearing in mind that I am a Muslim
without something that is unnecessary but at the same time with character that is as
exemplary as possible you will have to put forward your ticket you have to put forward
your passport you have to answer a few questions because there is nothing you can actually
do about it but - now that you have this particular situation make the most of it to touch the
life of someone in a way that when you disappear they feel closer to Allah as a result why
because it's the teachings of Allah that asks you to be kind to people so that they can
relate to the maker if we were to be hot as horrible as possible to everyone believe me
nobody would be seated here today
