Arafah Special – And give glad tidings to the mukhbiteen
Introduction
§ When we say ( ُ إإِالَّ إإَِلهھَ الَ َقدِديیرر َشْيءٍ ُكللِّ َعَلى وَوهھھُھووَ ااْلَحْمددُ وَوَلهھُ ااْلُمْلككُ َلهھُ َلهھُ َشرِريیككَ الَ وَوْحدَدههُ هللاَّ ) (None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, Alone, without partner, to Him belongs all that exists, and to Him belongs the Praise, and He is powerful over all things.) – then surely there will be an effect on the heart, subhan Allah.
§ There is an effect on the heart that is unique during hajj. When a person is remembering Allah during the ten days of Dhul Hijjah, it makes the self humble, until he becomes from the mukhbiteen.
§ Who are the mukhbiteen which are mentioned in Surah Al Hajj? It’s mentioned twice in Surah Al Hajj and once in Surah Al Hud.
§ The mukhibiteen is one of the ‘level’s of going to Allah, there are other like hope, ihsan, patience, tawakul, gratitude, and the like.
Meaning of
(خخببتت)
§ It means quiet, tranquil, humble and no resistance. When a decree comes, people are either accepting or hesitating.
§ At the time of the sacrifice, the animal is resisting, but the moment ‘Bism Allah, Allahu Akbar’ is mentioned the animal surrenders and becomes tranquil. All of us are going to Allah and one of the levels a person hopes to attain in hajj is the level of the mukhbiteen.
§ The mukhbiteen are the ones who are humble and tranquil. The word
(خخببتت) is like a fire that’s put off, there’s no noise, sound, or burning after it. When a command comes, it can be like ‘fire’, but what will close it off?
(خخببتت) – being tranquil so you don’t reject or are hesitant. You will submit and be at the service of your Lord.
§ The people were noisy as they leaving after ‘Arafah towards Muzdalifah, so Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) told them ‘as sakina, as sakina, be tranquil, be tranquil’.
§ After someone has said ( ُ إإِالَّ إإَِلهھَ الَ َقدِديیرر َشْيءٍ ُكللِّ َعَلى وَوهھھُھووَ ااْلَحْمددُ وَوَلهھُ ااْلُمْلككُ َلهھُ َلهھُ َشرِريیككَ الَ وَوْحدَدههُ هللاَّ ) (None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, Alone, without partner, to Him belongs all that exists, and to Him belongs the Praise, and He is powerful over all things.) – it’s not suitable to be noisy.
§ Ibn Al Qayim said
(خخببتت) is the first level of tranquility. When your heart is in peace and is humble, then your body with people will be tranquil. You will worship Allah with tranquility, submission and humility, subhan Allah.
§ (خخببتت) is a position to get rid of heedlessness. Those who are mukhbiteen are not heedless nor rejecting.
§ Another meaning of mukhbiteen is the one at rest with his Lord as his Caretaker. People around us will leave but it’s important to know Allah will not leave us – ‘Am I not your Lord?’. Wherever we may be, Allah is in charge of our eating, drinking and guidance.
§ When the mukhbiteen are at rest, then they will be kind, soft and tender. They don’t want to break anything. They will not oppress anyone and if they’re under oppression, they will not retaliate or
oppress others. They are so content and satisfied because ( ُ إإِالَّ إإَِلهھَ الَ وَوَلهھُ ااْلُمْلككُ َلهھُ َلهھُ َشرِريیككَ الَ وَوْحدَدههُ هللاَّ

َقدِديیرر َشْيءٍ ُكللِّ َعَلى وَوهھھُھووَ ااْلَحْمددُ ) (None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, Alone, without partner, to Him belongs all that exists, and to Him belongs the Praise, and He is powerful over all things.). May Allah make us from the mukhbiteen. Ameen
Who are the mukhbiteen in Surah Al Hajj?
Ayah 34 – ( ٍة۬۟ وَولِڪُللِّ ا َجَعۡلَنا أأُمَّ نۢن رَرزَزَقهُھمم َما َعَلىٰ ٱٱ#َِّ ٱٱۡسممَ ذۡذُكرُرووااْ لِّيیَ َمنَسًك۬۟ ممِ َبهِھيیَمةِ مِّ ـٰ هُھُكممۡ ۗٱٱۡألَۡنَع ـٰ هٌھ۬۟ َفإَِل ـٰ وَوَبشِّررِ ۗأأَۡسلُِمووااْ ۥۤ َفَلهھُ وَوٲِحدٌد۬۟ إإَِل
(ٱٱۡلُمۡخِبِتيیننَ (And for every nation We have appointed religious ceremonies, that they may mention the
Name of Allâh over the beast of cattle that He has given them for food. And your Ilâh (God) is One Ilâh
(God — Allâh), so you must submit to Him Alone (in Islâm). And (O Muhammad
(ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص give glad tidings to the Mukhbitun [those who obey Allâh with humility and are humble from among the true believers
of Islâmic Monotheism],)
Ayah 35 – ( ُ ذُذِكررَ إإذَِذاا ٱٱلَّذِذيیننَ ِبرِريیننَ قُلوُوُبهُھممۡ وَوِجَلتتۡ ٱٱ#َّ ـٰ َلوٰوةةِ وَوٱٱۡلُمقِيیِمى أأََصاَبُہممۡ َمآ َعَلىٰ وَوٱٱلصَّ ا ٱٱلصَّ هُھممۡ وَوِممَّ ـٰ يُینفِقُووننَ رَرزَزۡقَن ) (Whose hearts are filled with fear when Allâh is mentioned; and As-‐Sabirun [who patiently bear whatever may befall them (of calamities); and who perform As-‐Salât (Iqâmat-‐as-‐Salât), and who spend (in Allâh's Cause)
out of what We have provided them.)
§ Allah commanded Ibrahim (as) to sacrifice his son, what did he do? He submitted. Ibrahim (as) saw in a dream to slaughter his son and he went to him and told him. So the son said, ‘do whatever you are commanded?’. These are mukhbiteen.
§ When both of them surrendered, Allah told him ‘you have fulfilled the dream’ and it was replaced with a ram. So alhamdulilah we don’t have to sacrifice our children.
§ Our ilah is One, the One Whom we should struggle for and head towards. When we need anything, we should go to Him with devotion.
§ Give glad tidings to the mukhbiteen who surrender. Who’s the one who will be happy in life? The one who surrenders to Allah.
What are the characteristics of the mukhbiteen?
§ (( ُ ذُذِكررَ إإذَِذاا ٱٱلَّذِذيیننَ قُلوُوُبهُھممۡ وَوِجَلتتۡ ٱٱ#َّ ) (Whose hearts are filled with fear when Allâh is mentioned;): when Allah is mentioned, their hearts are immediately affected. Not everyone when they hear Allah are affected, subhan Allah.
(وَوِجللَ ) is fear which makes a person stand and follow. With the remembrance of Allah, the hearts find rest. Why do the hearts find rest? Because when you remember Allah, He remembers you, subhan Allah. Angels come to the places where people gather to remember Allah so the tranquility descends upon them. The more there are angels, the more tranquil the place will be, but the more shayateen in a place, the louder it will be.
§ ( ِبرِريیننَ ـٰ أأََصاَبُہممۡ َمآ َعَلىٰ وَوٱٱلصَّ ) (and As-‐Sabirun [who patiently bear whatever may befall them (of calamities);): when anything befalls them from sickness, people wronging them or situations, they face it with tranquility. They will take it with goodness because their heart is in peace. They know Allah wants all the good for them; He doesn’t want to break them. When someone is impatient then you will find him restless. We have a Lord Whose all actions are blessed, He is The Most Kind, He will never leave us. There might be waves around them but they’re patient and still.

§ ( َلوٰوةةِ وَوٱٱۡلُمقِيیِمى ٱٱلصَّ ) (and who perform As-‐Salât (Iqâmat-‐as-‐Salât),): they establish the prayer, and their enjoyment is heavenly. The nafs is the most honorable thing we have and they establish the prayer. There was a Companion who needed to have his leg cut, and he told them there’s no need for anesthesia, but when he prays then they can cut his leg. What is this connection that makes his body numb? Subhan Allah. The entertainment and joy for them is to be at Allah’s service. They’re in such tranquility that they don’t feel any pain, subhan Allah. The more you scream and shout, the more pain you’ll feel.
§ ( ا هُھممۡ وَوِممَّ ـٰ يُینفِقُووننَ رَرزَزۡقَن ) (and who spend (in Allâh's Cause) out of what We have provided them.): the mukhbiteen serve society and others. They think about the poor and needy. They sacrifice themselves in prayer and they sacrifice their money for others. The mukhbiteen are quiet but they’re productive.
§ Everyone in hajj is waiting for the Day of Arafah and after a big moment, a person wants to be loud, but the Prophet (ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) said ‘as sakina as sakina, be tranquil be tranquil’. We want to have tranquility. In a study circle, dhikr should affect us and grant us tranquility. Allah doesn’t accept those who arrogant. Paradise is forbidden upon those who are arrogant. The opposite of the mukhbiteen are the arrogant ones. The arrogant ones are mentioned in Surah Hud.
Who are opposite the mukhbiteen?
Surah Hud 18-‐23:
Ayah 18 – ( ِ َڪذِذًبا نِن ٱٱۡفَترَرىٰى َعَلى ٱٱ(َّ هِھممۡ ۚوَوَمنۡن أأَظۡظَلمُم ِممَّ ٓؤُؤَالِٓء ٱٱلَّذِذيینَن َكذَذُبوواْا َعَلٰى رَربِّ ـٰ دُد هھھَھ ـٰ هِھمۡم وَويَیقُووللُ ٱٱۡألَۡشهَھ ىٕٓىِكَك يُیۡعرَرُضوونَن َعَلٰى رَربِّ ـٰ أأََال َلۡعَنُة ۚ أأوُْوَللِِميیننَ ـٰ ِ َعَلى ٱٱلظظَّ (ٱٱ/َّ (And who does more wrong than he who invents a lie against Allâh. Such will be brought before their Lord, and the witnesses will say, "These are the ones who lied against their Lord!" No doubt! the curse of Allâh is on the Zâlimûn (polytheists, wrong-‐doers, oppressors))
Ayah 19 – ( فِرُرووننَ ٱٱلَّذذِ ـٰ ا وَوهھھُھمم ِبٱۡألَِخرَرةِة هھھُھمۡم َك ِ وَويَیۡبُغووَنَہا ِعوَوًج۬۟ وونَن َعنن َسِبيیلِل ٱٱ=َّ يینَن يَیُصددُّ ) (Those who hinder (others) from the Path of Allâh (Islâmic Monotheism), and seek a crookedness therein, while they are disbelievers in the
Hereafter)
Ayah 20 – ( ِ ِمنۡن أأوَۡوليَِیآءَ نن دُدوونِن ٱٱ.َّ ىٕٓىِكَك َلمۡم يَیُكووُنوواْا ُمۡعِجزِزيینَن فِى ٱٱۡألَرۡرضِض وَوَما َكانَن َلهُھمم مِّ ـٰ َعفُف َلهُھمُم ٱٱۡلَعذَذااببُ ۘأأوُْوَل ـٰ ۡمَع ۚ يُیَض َما َكاُنوواْا يَیۡسَتطِطيیُعوونَن ٱٱلسَّ
(وَوَما َڪاُنوواْا يُیۡبِصرُرووننَ (By no means will they escape (from Allâh's Torment) on earth, nor have they
protectors besides Allâh! Their torment will be doubled! They could not bear to hear (the preachers of the truth) and they used not to see (the truth because of their severe aversion, inspite of the fact that
they had the sense of hearing and sight).)
Ayah 21 –ا َڪاُنوواْا يَیۡفَترُرووننَ ) ىٕٓىِكَك ٱٱلَّذِذيینَن َخِسرُروٓواْا أأَنفَُسُہمۡم وَوَضللَّ َعۡنُہمم مَّ ـٰ (أأوُْوَل (They are those who have lost their ownselves, and their invented false deities will vanish from them.)
Ayah 22 – ( ُہمۡم فِى ٱٱۡألَِخرَرةِة هھھُھمُم ٱٱۡألَۡخَسرُرووننَ َال َجرَرممَ أأَنَّ ) (Certainly, they are those who will be the greatest losers in the Hereafter.)
Ayah 23 – ( بُب ٱٱۡلجَ ـٰ ىٕٓىِكَك أأَۡصَح ـٰ ِہمۡم أأوُْوَل تِت وَوأأَۡخَبُتوٓواْا إإَِلٰى رَربِّ ـٰ لَِح ـٰ لدُِدووننَ ۖنَّةِ إإنِنَّ ٱٱلَّذِذيینَن َءااَمُنوواْا وَوَعِملوُواْا ٱٱلصَّ ـٰ ( هھھُھمۡم فِيیَہا َخ (Verily, those who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh -‐ Islâmic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, and humble

themselves (in repentance and obedience) before their Lord, -‐ they will be dwellers of Paradise to dwell therein forever.)
§ Efficiency is not with sound, a person shouldn’t mistake efficiently with motion. The mukhbiteen are productive but they’re quiet and silent. They’re fulfilling the rights of the Allah and the rights of the people quietly.
§ We’re not here in this life to steal and snatch from the people. Those opposite the mukhbiteen are the arrogant ones who are stopping others from the way to Allah. They want to make the path to Allah crooked, astaghfar Allah. Such people can never disable Allah from reaching them, so where can they run? Subhan Allah. Never misuse the blessings of Allah – money, spouse, children and knowledge – by being rebellious and arrogant.
§ They think by their hands they can be successful, but the mukhbiteen are the winners. Verily those who believed, did good deeds and surrendered to their Rabb to all the decrees and commands, these are the dwellers of paradise, abiding there forever.
§ After hajj, we should come out as mukhbiteen – it will solve the ego issue, it’s not about ‘I’ but ‘we’. After ‘Arafah, everyone comes out as one body. Hajj is teaching us to not be proud and selfish, we can’t want others to go according to our program. We need to be accommodating and thinking of others.
§ The mukhbiteen will never transgress their boundaries or violate the rules. They’re respecting themselves and the rules. Who’s making problems? Arrogant ones and those with ego.
§ The mukhbiteen are very efficient, they know when to go, when to stop, what to say, what not to say, they think of the consequences before speaking.
Those given knowledge and mukhbiteen
Surah Al Hajj 54:
( بِّككَ ِمنن ٱٱۡلَحققُّ أأَنَّهھُ ٱٱۡلِعۡلممَ أأوُوُتووااْ ٱٱلَّذِذيیننَ وَوليَِیۡعَلممَ ۡسَتقِيیمٍم۬۟ ِصرَرٲطٍط۬۟ إإَِلىٰ َءااَمُنوٓوااْ ٱٱلَّذِذيیننَ َلهَھاددِ ٱٱ#ََّ وَوإإنِنَّ ۗقُلوُوُبهُھممۡ ۥ َلهھُ ِبتتَ َفُتخۡ ِبهِھۦ َفيُیؤۡؤِمُنووااْ ررَّ مُّ ) (And that those who have been given knowledge may know that it (this Qur'ân) is the truth from your Lord, so that they may believe therein, and their hearts may submit to it with humility. And verily, Allâh is
the Guide of those who believe, to the Straight Path.)
§ Those who’ve been given knowledge can detect what’s from Allah and what’s from the shaitan. They can detect and analyze, may Allah increase us in knowledge. Ameen.
§ When the truth comes to them then their heart will surrender and is at peace. Allah will guide those who believe to the Straight Path. The mukhbiteen will reach their dwellings in paradise because Allah will guide them.
§ Allah will give the mukhbiteen guidance. Allah gives the mukhbiteen honor in the duniya and akhira, protection from the trials of the duniya, an elevated nafs, protection from the hellfire and entry to paradise. This is the nafs at peace.
§ Surah Al Fajr 27-‐30: ( ُة ( ۡفسُس ٱٱۡلُمطۡطَمىٕىِنَّ ُتَہا ٱٱلنَّ ٓأيَیَّ ـٰ (٢۲٧۷يَیًة۬۟ رۡرِضيیَّ كِك رَرااِضيَیًة۬۟ مَّ دِدىى (٢۲٨۸) ٱٱرۡرِجِعٓى إإَِلٰى رَربِّ ـٰ ) وَوٱٱدۡدُخلِى ٢۲٩۹) َفٱدۡدُخلِى ِفى ِعَب
