Forgive and seek forgiveness

Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
And peace and blessings be upon the honour of the prophets and messengers.
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and upon his family and companions.
Tassleem and kaseer and kaseer.
My brothers and sisters, I want to share with you
some thoughts and remind you and myself
about perhaps the single most important quality of a successful human being.
And that is the quality of being able to forgive.
The quality of being able to forgive.
If you take the life of Rasulullah, peace and blessings be upon him,
this is one thing which stands out.
Where Rasulullah, peace and blessings be upon him,
forgave everyone.
To the extent that somebody like Abdullah bin Ubay bin Salul,
the head of the Munafiqun,
who was an enemy
of the level where Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala actually revealed Quran
after he died
and said that even if you ask forgiveness
for these people 70 times,
70 times,
Allah will not forgive them.
And when the ayat was revealed,
Rasulullah, peace and blessings be upon him, said,
if I knew that Allah would forgive them,
if I asked 71 times,
I would have asked 71 times.
Abdullah bin Salul was an enemy of such
virulence and such intensity
that he did not leave any
way or any means
of trying to harm Rasulullah, peace and blessings be upon him,
both personally as well as his message
of Dawah of Islam, both.
Whether it was
to take his people,
300 plus of the people of Medina,
of the people of Khazraj,
away from the,
the army of the believers at the time of Ahud,
which was one of the reasons for the failure of that defeat in that battle,
or whether it was constantly harassing and baiting and,
you know, making fun of Rasulullah, peace and blessings be upon him,
all kinds of ways.
But when he died, his son, whose name was also Abdullah bin,
came to Rasulullah and he said,
I know Rasulullah, my father has died.
And I have two requests.
One is,
can you please give your
Thawb,
the Khamis you are wearing,
to use as a coffin for my father?
So the Barakah of the
cloths,
which touched the Mubarak body of Rasulullah, peace and blessings be upon him,
and he said the second request is if you can please pray Salatul Janada for him,
, I imagine,
, I imagine,

I imagine,
I imagine,

, I imagine,
I imagine,
what is the barakah of
something like this
where you have
won the aasar of the
Nabi A.S.
directly
and where
you have
the Nabi A.S.
making dua maqfara for you
means janaza is dua maqfara
so you have the Nabi A.S.
himself making this dua
of forgiveness for you
and Nabi A.S. agreed to both
he took off his commission and gave it
and he went and he prayed
when he went there to pray
tried to stop him
he literally came between him and the janaza
and he said ya Rasulullah
don't do this
why are you praying janaza over this bar
this bar is the worst enemy that we have
Rasulullah A.S. said
to move aside
and this is also the mercy of Allah
after he finished
the Salatul Janaza
Allah revealed the ayat
and said even if you ask
I will not do it
don't stand
on their graves meaning
make dua forever
this is the mercy of Allah
Allah did not
send him to do this
He sent the ayat before
right
if Allah had sent the ayat five minutes before
then Nabi A.S. could not have done
this is the mercy of Allah
okay my Nabi wants to do let him do
but Allah's judgment does not change because of that
so the lesson we learn from this
before I go to the forgiveness piece
is that at the end of the day
it is your Amal which stand with you
it is your Amal
your Aqidah and your Amal which stand with you
not anything else
so many times people have this feeling
oh you know I am descended from so and so
I am the Ahlulad of this Sheikh and that Sheikh
and this Peer and that Peer
