I came across this Mustafa Hosny lecture, titled,
على طريق الله 2 - الحلقة 13 - نفع الخلق يرقق القلب - مصطفى حسني
It kind of means, "benefiting creation (people) helps the heart"
This lecture is so on point! I wishhh I can post for you all the whole thing in English of what I understood, I am posting the first 10-14 minutes. It takes almost an hour just for these 10 minutes, and you don't get the full meaning or feeling of the words when its in English (to be honest!), because when Mustafa speaks he speaks from the heart to the heart, mashAllah!.
I was supposed to meet Mustfa Hosny at the convention, and I even had one of the organizers promise that they would try their best to arrange for this, I had in mind of asking him to create captions on his YouTube video so non Arabic speakers can also enjoy his wisdom...Mustfah Hosny couldn't make it to the convention because the Egyptian officials did not allow him to leave Egypt! SO sad!!!
I also had in mind of talking to him about the project "MenLoveHijab" but inshAllah one day I will get to learn from him in person!!
For now , heres an amazing lecture he posted, the title itself is relaxing, it basically means benefiting the creation eases the heart.!
على طريق الله 2 - الحلقة 13 - نفع الخلق يرقق القلب - مصطفى حسني
Here is some of what he said:
Whenever anyone had any problems, the Prophets huge heart would be open for anyone who had problems or needed to vent, whether older people or the young people, anyone who had any problem in the dunya (this world) was always sure that the Prophet will help.
The Prophet always used to help the creations (people).
Not only the Prophet, also the sahaba always used to help people
Abu Bakr
Omar before and even when he was a Khalifa he used to go around and check upon the people, and if he saw a women giving birth he would run to his wife to help her, he used to give people his clothing when he saw that they didn't have anything to wear.
Oh companions, why were you so into helping others?
What is it inside of you , and what understanding did you have about the road to Allah and about religion that allowed you oh companions to be so busy with the idea of helping others , and standing with the one who is in need. And not just that,
Ali Ibn Abi Talib used to go around at night and help whoever was in need, sharing his wealth, in private and in public just as the aya teaches us.
After reading the Quran, hadith, and stories of the companions,
these people used to enjoy working for Allah
Prophet taught us,
"Maan qadaa hajat min hajtee ikhee kanaa Kaman khadama Allah umraa"
Which means, if one of the days you helped a person its as if you served Allah all of your life
How am I going to serve Allah? I am going to serve him through helping others
The one who is on the road towards Allah , an important part of their every day life, an important part of their entire life is to remember one day I am going to be judged in front of Allah, ya Rab there are people who I tried to make them enjoy their life so you can be pleased with me , so I can serve you oh Allah
The Prophet said,
Ina Allah khalq laa marofee wajhoeen wa habiba ilheyem faal al maroof wa sarfa talqbeen marof ilyhuem wa yasraa ilheem maraaf tahoo kamaa yasraa al gheeth ilya al ardd al jalbaa fa ihyahaa wa ihyaa behaa ahlahaa"
(SOUNDS amazing in Arabic!)
Do you know what this hadith means?
You can know the secret and the reason why the salahuoon the good serve Allah through the helping of others.
The Prophet is telling us that Allah created people for al maroof (the good, the known)). These are the people of al good maroof , these are the people who were created with the ahlaq (manners) of Allah
Hassan Al Basri said,
Al Maroof khulqun min akhlaq Allah wa huwa ya jazee beheee
The person sees how Allah is doing what is known to the people, so that person also wants to show the manners of Allah , so that person also does the good
Allah created people like this, and He made them to be the people of al maroof good, and Allah made the love of good easy for them and so they can help others. The people go to them for help. Allah made them love the giving of good
These people the Prophet made the parable of them to the a dry earth, then Allah made it easy for the water to reach it, and this made the earth alive and the people of the earth
The one who does the marof good , their heart is alive, the person yahyas (brings life) with the maroof good and at the same time brings life to those around him or her
So the salheen the ones on the road to Allah used to look for this life to their hearts, and their hearts found rest and peace when they felt that they were ahul al maroof the people of the good, known.
Whenver you are of ahul al maroof your heart is alive
It is not required to open a whole charity organization to be of ahul al maroof, if you just helped someone with their broken car you are of al maroof, if you helped a old neighbor carry her heavy bags you are doing al maroof, if someone has a lot on their chest and they need someone to vent to and with your big heart you listen you are doing al maroof.
In any moment, you bring joy to the life of a person , or you help them, through a small or big problem, you are of ahul al maroof , the one who Allah brings life to your heart through al maroof and brings life to the people.
The one who is on the road to Allah, is the one who works for the Lord, he or she is not shy rather he or she is proud to work for Allah,
Think, do I help people on this earth so that on the Day of Judgemeent they can be a reason for my shifa (like saving) if my sins are to much
Do I please Allah when I please them?
8:50
Those who love Allah are always thinking of how to make Allah pleased with them in this dunya and the next, and so Allah can meet them with His Mercy.
The Prophet said,
Ina Allah khalq laa marofee wajhoeen wa habiba ilheyem faal al maroof wa sarfa talqbeen marof ilyhuem wa yasraa ilheem maraaf tahoo kamaa yasraa al gheeth ilya al ardd al jalbaa fa ihyahaa wa ihyaa behaa ahlahaa"

Those who love Allah are always thinking of how to make Allah pleased with them in this dunya and the next, and so Allah can meet them with His Mercy.
They think about if they are thrown in darkness in this dunya, Allah will be with them.
They know very well that whenever a person is kind, nice, Allah is already kind to everyone, but to take the means of mercy of Allah we need to be merciful to the people.
Allah said, if you want my Mercy then be merciful to my creations.
These words need to be running through our blood
Getting through the hardships of this life, and the Day of Judgment is from the Mercy of Allah.
The doors of Jannah open from the Mercy of Allah
The guidance is from the Mercy of Allah
Our problems in this life are solved this is from the Mercy of Allah
Our good decisions, so that I wont be in regret all my life, this is from the Mercy of Allah
So we need Allahs Mercy
For my kids to have good manners, to be raised well, this is from Allahs Mercy
So every step of good in this dunya is from Allahs Mercy
Allah taught us this,
The Prophet said,
" الرَّاحِمُونَ يَرْحَمُهُمُ الرَّحْمَنُ ارْحَمُوا مَنْ فِي الأَرْضِ يَرْحَمْكُمْ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ الرَّحِمُ شُجْنَةٌ مِنَ الرَّحْمَنِ
"Al Rahmoon yarhamoho Al Rahman"
"Arhamoo min fi al ard, rahmoukum min fi al sama"
The merciful are shown mercy by Ar-Rahman. Be merciful on the earth, and you will be shown mercy from Who is above the heavens.
Its as if the Prophet is teaching us to seek Allah Mercy through helping others
Allah said:
Atloboo al fadlaa meen al rahomoaa, awaleikaa abdee tashounaa fee aknfheem fa Inee jaltoo fehem rahmtee
(I cant find the exact meaning, but here is what I think it means ask for helpfrom the those who are merciful, those are My slaves ,for I made within them Mercy)
There are people whom Allah created with his Mercy within them.
These are the people Allah is telling you to go and ask them for help, these people go to them don't go to the mean people, the slaves of Allah look to be of these people who show this mercy.
The whole Prophets life, everyday of his life had a moment in which he was helping people
