Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam Woerden will Ruthie
Ramadan Delilah Mead?
What are the early he will be here you have a look over seldom at the
Sleeman cathedral Elomi Dean a mother. So my dear respected
brothers and sisters, it's nice to be here this evening for your
annual gathering. May Allah subhanaw taala accept it and may
Allah subhanho wa Taala preserve our iman and our children's Eman.
Currently, if you've been following the news as a Muslim,
for many people, it's very worrying time.
Constantly in the media for the last several months, there's been
problems, whether that's mean somebody shooting somebody else in
the name of Islam, whether it means the government passing
different laws and bills for what we would assume to be anti
Islamic, or Islamophobic. Many Muslims are feeling very
vulnerable.
So when you feel that way,
it's important for us to understand that as Muslims,
there's never a bad situation.
We always have to act proactively.
And we always have to have our trust in Allah subhanho wa taala.
So today, what I want to mention is what kind of approach should we
have in this time and age? Because Muslims, it's very important for
Muslims to be the ones who have the answers Muslims, we say that
the Prophet sallallahu Sallam taught us everything. So if we are
undergoing a situation right now, when we feel that everybody is
against us, people are doing bad things in our name. Governments
are making bad policies
that we think is going to affect us very negatively, and so on and
so forth. So what does that mean that we must do? The Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, I Japan the Umbrella Movement for
in Umrah, hula hula who hired
What are astonishing state, it is for the believer. The believer has
a very astonishing states. Because anything, any matter that the
believer confronts any issue that happens, anything that happens to
us, there's always you can turn it into goodness. Then the Prophet
salallahu alayhi wa sallam said that if some calamity overcomes a
believer, and he has patience, he perseveres, he knows the way to
deal with it keeps his trust in Allah subhanho wa taala, because
that's what patience is. Patience is not giving up. Patience is to
understand that Allah wants me to be able to bear this to learn from
this and to not complain, then this will be good for him. Then
the prophets of Allah, Who are you some said, on the other hand, if a
person is prosperous, if he's not in affliction, but good things are
happening Mashallah.
Then even that is good because if the person makes sugar for Shaka
Rafa who will fade and then if he is thankful to Allah subhanho wa
taala, then that is good for him as well. So clearly, this is a
time for us both to make sugar and to make supper. The reason is that
still compared to many parts of the world, many countries in the
world and in fact, many countries in the west or Europe, England
still fares better Hamdulillah we have a lot of freedom to do this.
If we wanted to do this same program in a particular Muslim
countries, we would have to have taken licenses and permits from
months in advance, to have to, to have the permission to gather like
this. We just keep a program here and we do it. We don't have to ask
anybody. There's a lot of freedoms Alhamdulillah that we have here.
However, they are passing security bills. Throughout Europe, there is
a lot of Islamophobia. There is a lot of people who are saying
Muslims are like this and Muslims are like that. And there are many
surveys and statistics that are coming up in this regard. What I
want to do today is I want to mention a number of Hadith in
which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam spoke about us.
He spoke about people not of his time, he spoke spoke about people
that were going to come when I read these Hadith, these are
hardly heard about the baraka to have the hill Ummah, the blessing
of this ummah, the fact that we are in this ummah, regardless that
we've come 1400 years after a soul allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
but the prophets of Allah Islam remembered us before he departed
this world. And he mentioned a number of things about us. And
this is the most amazing thing there's a hadith that is related
by Imam Buhari from Abdullah Huebner Amara, the Allah one
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, in nama Ajay LUCAM in
nama Janu comfy agilely Madhava Menon, umami ma Bina sala de sala
de la casa de la Marguerite Bishop's he said that
The example of your time, the example of the time of this oma in
comparison to the previous nations that we've had before us is just
like the time between ourselves and Mother him. In a daytime in
the day in a normal situation, the time between us or tomography is
the shortest time especially if you go with the later Hanafy time.
I know you guys most of you are Shafi. Right? So Shabbos have a
slightly earlier answer time, but still from fajr to the hair is a
very long time, especially if you look in summer, from the her to
answer is again very long, but from answer tomorrow be shorter.
So he said that your time among the people in comparison to the
people of the past is just like from us or to Margaret. And then
the prophets of Allah Islam gave an example. He said, we're in
number methylglucose. We're methadone. Yeah. Who do you want
nasaka Raju Lin, is that man is stamina or Merlin.
Your example is like a per is like a person, an individual who wants
people to work for him on a building site on a construction
site. He wants people to come and work for him. So he goes at
federal time. And he says, who will work for me from Fudger from
now until the time for this many hours. And I'll give them each one
measure. I'll give them one measure of payment. Right? I'll
give them I'll give them one measure of payment. The rotten,
rotten. It's an Arabic measure. So the who'd said we will work from
fajr to Doha, and they came they worked and Allah subhanaw taala
gave each of them clear autumn key rods, one measure one measure.
Then he announced again, this labor announces again from the her
to ask them who will work for me they will also get one period one
key rods, the NESARA, the Nazarenes the Christians they came
and they said we will work from this time to this time. So they
worked and Allah subhanho wa Taala gave them their reward. So this is
an example of this is an example that the profit and loss team is
providing. Then he said who will work for me from Ossur to Maghrib,
which is the last part of the day, but I will give them two key rods
each. I'll give them two measures each. So the Muslim in the
believers Omar Muhammad Sallallahu sallam said we will work for this
time. So they worked for the shorter time. But at the end of
the time, they were given two key routes each. Now the other two
groups that came along and they said why is it that we work for
longer, longer hours, they work for shorter hours we were given
one they were given to so Allah subhanho wa Taala asks them
Allah subhanaw taala said hello Varun two Min haccombe che have i
oppressed you in any way? Have I not given you your due? Right?
What I promised you didn't I give that to you? They said yes you
did. So he said then whatever I give to anybody else is my grace I
can give to whomever, whomever I wish. So this is just an example
of us coming as the final nation but Allah subhanho wa Taala having
promised us greater rewards. This is for the entire Amantha the Day
of Judgment.
Allah subhanho wa Taala says in the Quran, yah yah Latina Amen
otaku Allah what Amina will be or Sunni he you take him give lay in
Emirati? Oh people who believe or people who believe it the hula
have fear of Allah subhanaw taala and believe in His Messenger what
Amina will be Rasulullah he believes in His Messenger, true
belief by observing the prophetic way by fulfilling the prophetic
sunnah by following his guidance by exemplifying his character by
embodying his behavior. This is exactly what is required of us,
for us to benefit from this Quranic verse. So Allah says, oh,
people who believe have taqwa, believe in the messenger. And
Allah you tick on the fly in Emirati, Allah will give you two
nodes of His mercy. Gift lane, in Arabic is when you see a donkey in
certain third world countries, you will normally see that when a
donkey carries a load, they'll normally have two bags, two huge
bags on both sides being attached in the middle. And on both sides,
they will put lots of weight to whatever they want to carry,
whatever it may be. So if you have only one side, it will be
lopsided, they'll drop off. So they have to put equal weight on
both sides. That's what you call Gifu. GIF GIF lane. So you'll give
you two loads, two loads of mercy. That's what Allah subhanaw taala
said, If we follow the messenger, and we have that word is no doubt
that the Mercy will shine upon us. Allah has rivers of mercy are
constantly flowing, if he gives us even one drop from them.
Subhanallah that is sufficient. And Allah has so much mercy. He's
only caused 1% of His mercy to descend in the world, and anybody
you see acting mercifully in the world, all over from the beginning
of time.
At the end of time, that amounts only to one person of Allah's
mercy. You see mothers, how merciful they are, they are the
greatest examples of mercy. When it comes to their children, they
will be willing to do anything for their children, their mercy will
state, the Merciful nature, how you see mothers act with their
children, that's a state of mercy. Now you see all of the mercy of
the world, every mother in the world who have ever lived in this
world to come together, anybody else that shows mercy that amounts
only to one person of the Mercy of Allah subhanaw taala. Allah has
99% of mercy that he has not yet expended, but we want His mercy
and Allah says we'll give you two loads of mercy. Then next hadith
is related by Imam Muslim.
Abu Huraira, the Allahu Allah. He says that the surah allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said again, this is the prophets of
Allah, as I'm remembering us 1400 years ago, about the people of his
Alma that were still going to come, he said, In in them in a
shed the Umatilla the hook been NASA near kudu and the Yabba doo
ahead to whom la Ronnie be early he was
the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, the most intensely in love.
The people who love me most intensely out of my ummah, are
people who will come after me.
People who will come after me, each one of them would be willing
to sacrifice their wealth and families if they could see me.
So the prophets of Allah Islam is thinking ahead of people who are
still going to come not the sahaba. The Sahaba have a very
high status already. But the prophets of Allah Islam said that
the people who are most intense, with most intense love for me are
people who will come after me. They're willing to sacrifice and
today you see that situation. People who have the true love for
the prophets, Allah loves him in their heart. They do everything
because you can only do things you can you can only
copy someone, emulate someone, practice in their footsteps and
love them. If you have love for them. Is the only reason you can
have this. There's another Hadith which is related by both Imam
Bukhari and Imam Muslim from where we are the Allah Juan.
Margarita the Allahu Anhu says that I heard Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam saying law is looming, almighty Merton ka
Emerton be amarilla they will always remain from my ummah, a
group of people who will always be upholding the matter of Allah, who
will always have the true religion with them and do it will be doing
the right thing. That Allah subhanho wa Taala wants Leia do
Roman Hodeida home, those who forsake them who abandon them,
that will not bother them in the least, they will not harm them at
all. Because their faith is so strong. While I'm and harder for
him or anybody who opposes them, it will not change them in the
least had Dr. Mercola, where Humala vertic until the matter of
Allah will come or the matter of Allah will be decreed, and they
will be in that situation, whether that means their death will come
upon them, or whether that means the day of judgment will come
about or whether the matter that Allah has decreed will be
completed. Lots of groups today around the world
they claim to be
they claim to use this hadith for themselves. This hadith is
definitely ambiguous as to who it's relating to. There's no doubt
that many people can abuse this hadith and use it to say Our way
is the right thing. But what you have to realize is that only that
group can claim to be following this hadith, who also fulfill
every other aspect of the religion. If you have groups who
say this hadith is for them, but the main people they are fighting
with are other Muslimeen and they're killing other Muslims or
shinda or instead of being a sheep their oil kufr rowhammer obey
Nahum, they're the opposite they are shut down and Kufa, Shindo and
Lucinda mean that they are harsh against other Muslims, they kill
them for nothing, just because they follow a different path, then
how can they be this group?
One has to understand that, that for a person to be fully on the
path he has to fulfill everything, not just one aspect of the faith.
But for any of us to want to have the loads of mercy and for special
Rama from Allah subhanaw taala we're going to have to get closer
to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam. The next hadith is
related by Imam pyramid Ephraim AnnaSophia Lavon who UNASUR the
Allahu Anhu says that a Zulu allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
again another Hadith in which the Prophet salallahu Salam is giving
glad tidings, optimism and hope for people even after the Sahaba
when we look at the time of the Sahaba we think mashallah they
have they've taken huge amounts of reward with them. They have
accomplished
Great, great, great things in this world. But it doesn't mean that we
cannot also gain high status as well. Not as high as the sahaba.
Maybe, for sure, but it at least in the sight of Allah subhanaw
taala. We can also hope for gender to Triodos in the hereafter. So,
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said method automatically
method will matter. The example and the parable of my ummah is
like the rain, when it rains for two hours. Do you know which parts
of the rain cause the crop crops to grow the first part, the second
part, or the final part, which part of the rain brought the
baraka drop the nourishment, only Allah knows, and he says like
that, my ummah is like the rain. My alma is like the rain. La
Eudora, a woman who hailed as a hero, whether it's the beginning
part of it is good. Or the last part, he's giving optimism here,
that Subhanallah you could come wherever you want, anytime in
history, but it depends on how you act, how you behave and how you
approach things. And Allah subhanho wa Taala will provide
goodness in you what the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
one Hadith that really really is of great benefits. The prophets of
Allah Islam said set D to work Haribo Hadith in Buhari said they
do work on rebou. Another version it says said they do what apps you
suddenly do means hit the mark. What caribou means get close our
entire life, our perspective, our ambitions, our dreams and desires.
Our plans need to be in the right direction. If our focus is that
one day we are gonna die, we want to please Allah subhanho wa Taala
in the world, we want to follow in the footsteps of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wasallam we want to make sure we're trying the
right thing, then we're hitting the mark. If we make a mistake,
then and Allah knows we'll make mistakes. This is how He's created
us week. He knows when make mistakes, but then the prophets of
Allah some said, Oh God, he boo or get close. And then he said What
up Shiro and accept the glad tidings, you do what you have to
do, just try to aim in the right direction. Don't aim in the wrong
direction. Your your whole dream of your life should not be for
anything other than the pleasure of Allah subhanho wa Taala and
gender thorofare dose, then everything in our life bill. If we
if that's our desire, then everything in our life will come
close to that if we're aiming in the wrong direction. If our entire
ambition in our life is just something worldly, we're aiming in
the wrong directions and not in the right direction. We're not
even getting close. Once that perspective is in mind, believe
me, everything in this life becomes easy. Many people shaytaan
deceives them by making them think that if you become a righteous, if
you start becoming a better worshiper, life suddenly becomes
boring. life suddenly becomes dull and dry. Believe me, it doesn't
ask all of those people who practice ask those people who
practice their life is not boring. Allah subhanaw taala provides
great, great, great amounts of
pleasure, the faith, and the mercy that you get is amazing. Once I
was in the shop, which was selling some a Muslim person who had a
Muslim video shop and some Muslim books, and he was this was in
America when I used to live there. And he was selling some
Diwali cards, and I said, brought the decision if you don't need to
do this.
And this is what he told me. He said, If you want to live in this
country and be successful, you're gonna have to do this. He wasn't
even born in that country. He came from Pakistan, I was born in the
West. And I'm telling him that you don't know what you're speaking
about. You don't have to do these things to be successful. This is a
choice you're making. This is the shaytaan making you do this. I was
born in the West Alhamdulillah Allah gives us feeds this provides
us sufficiently without having to inshallah commit these kinds of
neurons. So you don't have to do that. But this is the deception.
Literally, this is what he told me is that if you want to be
successful, and you want to be in this country, then this is the
kind of stuff you're going to have to do.
And we know that's not true, but this is how shaytan does things.
Now we may not be doing ship, we may not be selling ship, but we
may be doing on minor levels, other things which we think is
necessary. You know, cheating the system wherever there's many
things that we may be doing Allah subhanaw taala protect us. We
don't need to well, mainly De La Jolla, Houma. kraja Whoever fears
Allah, Allah will find an open opening for him. We'll find an
opening for him. When were you talking law, your resume in high
school I act as if this is the most beautiful one. Whoever fears
Allah, Allah will provide him from a direction he never thought
about. I've seen many kids
Seems like this. Allah just wants us to do that several, he wants to
see a struggle of it. And then he opens up in the Marler city usara
with every difficulty that comes ease, with every difficulty that
comes ease. In fact, one Hadith says that never will you have two
difficulties without an ease. The ease has to come. But Allah just
wants to see how we go. There's a student who is from Morocco. He
moved to California afterwards, but he was in Texas before he was
studying, and he had a small amount of money that his father
would send, fees were expensive. On one occasion, he was out of
money. Now he had to get a job. The only job he could find was a
job in a gas station, a petrol station, but it sold wine. And
that's why he didn't want to work there. Everybody around him, even
the person who was guiding the Muslim, Islamic Society at
university, say, look, you're in a state, you don't have any money.
This is halal for you this job. But he had Taqwa. And he said no,
and he just stayed hungry for a few more days. Allah subhanho wa
Taala then gave him a job at the university, which then paid his
fees and gave him money on top. If he had taken that petrol station
job, it would have been maybe just enough to cover his fees, you were
still needed some more money. You just wait a few more days for the
sake of Allah and Allah provides, but this is the mercy on this
ummah. This is the way to attract this mercy on this ummah. Then the
next Hadith I want to mention is Imam Bihac. He relates his
insurable Eman from Hungary no Schreib from his father and from
his grandfather. He says that a surah allah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said,
once Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he was sitting with his
companions. And he said to his companions
are you will hulky gerbil in a jungle in a calm Iman? And which
part of which type of creation? Who do you think is whose Iman is
most astonishing?
Whose belief is Moses astonishing? Like why would somebody believe
believe the reason for their belief is so astonishing? So the
Sahaba They replied, Allah, Allah Iike, the angels and the prophets
of Allah some said, why should their faith be astonishing? When
they are by Allah subhanaw taala they're seeing huge miracles and
the sorts of things happening each day in the heavens. Their Eman is
not astonishing, they must believe. So then they said,
then the be the prophets, the prophets of Allah Islam said, why?
When he Mala you mean on why should they not believe when they
have having special revelation come to them they're seeing
angels, they should definitely believe because for them, it's
easy to believe. Then Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
in the art Jabril Hardy
ILAHA Imana
those people who have the most astonishing faith is luck, Coleman
yaku Luna birdie again a group that will come after me.
Yet you do in a social fun
fi hockey turbine, they will find scriptures in which they will be
in which they will be the written book they will find in which will
be the message for them the Quran, you know in the mafia, and they
will believe in that believers in the unseen believers in what the
soul of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has left behind for us the
Quran, this is what you and I believe. We haven't seen the
messenger SallAllahu Oleoresin.
But we believe in this and we have strong faith people have strong
faith today.
So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said their Iman is more
astonishing than anybody else's email.
Then, there's another Hadith is again related by Imam Bay hockey.
From Abdul Rahman YBNL Hagia Rami,
he says that
one of those so he did not hear this directly from a surah Allah
salAllahu alayhi wa sallam. He said that somebody who heard this
from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam related to me that the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
in Nauvoo, say a corner of the earth he heard the hill Almighty
Coleman level, mythical urging, awarding him
that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said soon there will be
a people
from the end times of this ummah, from the latter part of this
nation, this community, this ummah,
they will be given similar reward to the people, the first people of
this ummah.
They will be given reward like the earlier people of this ummah, like
the Sahaba etcetera. Why yet Maroondah Bill Maher, Rufio and
Hernandez mancha because they will enjoy
In good, and they will prohibit from evil. When you're Catarina al
Phaeton, and they will fight with the people who cause fitna. Now
this fighting could be in many different versions, people causing
fitna you're, you're helping to solve the matter for them, you're
hoping to resolve the issues for them. There's many, many
manifestations of this. But the one thing which we are losing from
our community, because of individualism is that people are
now very, are not concerned about what other people are doing. We
look the other way. If you see your own friend sometime doing the
wrong thing, you have no ability to say Brother, we shouldn't do
this.
Now see what is gone from this Oma.
In fact, one of the poet's he said, they don't want us to do a
marinara, often the honeymoon come when everybody stops doing it,
then nobody will tell anybody anything, then everybody is free
to do as much evil as possible. So today, you see your friends,
children doing something wrong. You don't have the guts to say
anything, because your friend, or that child's father will come and
say Why are you speaking about life, my children?
Number one, we don't have any wisdom in the way we correct
people. And number two, we're not willing to accept any kind of
criticism. When that happens, then this brings about degeneration of
the ummah.
I was sitting, I remember,
there were two people sitting both items, and one set day. And then
the other one day, one person ate very quickly, the other one was
visiting. He said, shake what I want to mention too, if you don't
mind, you eat too fast. And that's bad for you.
And the person said, just like Alafaya, can you say that to
somebody?
He said, Just like allow him he says, Look, I'm saying this with
all with all sincerity. Right? He said that and other persons that
just love him. On another occasion, the one was with the
other one, and the other one hadn't finished, he left a few
grains of rice, etc. In his lakes as many people do. So check. I
think it's a good idea. If you clean that up. We shouldn't leave
anything you said JazakAllah for reminding me. People know, but
they just need a friendly reminder. Today what happens is if
somebody comes and tells me something, I will try to think of
10 things about what I know of him and immediately on the defensive.
I will start saying but you do this, you do this, you do this,
and we shouldn't do that. When I was an Imam, the other Imam once
came and told me that I just want to mention a few things to you.
Now there's about five things I there's the five criticisms I have
of my fellow Imam which I haven't been able to tell him yet at that
point. He came in he said to me,
shake you do this, that and the other. And I said JazakAllah
Hayden, I agree with this, this one this is my reason for doing
so. Now, I did not tell him and I also want to mention five things
about you.
At that time, it would be the wrong time to do it. I accepted
what he said and I thanked him. This is the nasiha
we have to be able to do this but on a nice way sin with sincerity.
That is how you will get the Bersih there is how the ummah will
stay up.
Final tolerations to give us more optimism.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam said in a hadith narrated by
Muhammad in his Muslim from Abu Umar Radi Allahu Anhu Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, to burn him and Ronnie, what am I
gonna be
glad tidings for the one who saw me and believed in me. Somebody
who sees me the prophets Allah was saying like the Sahaba and they
believed in me, glad tidings for him. But then the prophets of
Allah Allah sent him again. He never forgets his Alma Subhanallah
he never forgets us. He said, What tuba saba. Amma rotten, lemon,
lemon Yoni lemon lamb, your oni wa MonaVie seven times glad tidings
for the ones who have not seen me for the one who has not seen me
but still believes in me.
This is the thought of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, this
is his love for his ummah, the progeny of his former
Why did the prophets of Allah Islam not allow the angel to
destroy the people in in
in five, because he said that that the future generations will become
believers. That's the that's the thought of Rasulullah sallallahu
Sallam the final Hadith. Imam Timothy relates in a sound chain,
Hadith and Hasson banzuke know Hakeem relates that from his
father, father and grandfather from Missoula Sinhala Why do you
send them?
He said, There's a verse in the Quran condom hydro Amma rigidly
nurse
You are the best of nations. This is what Allah says you are the
best of nations that have been extracted for the people because
that moving them out of it and hold it Mancha, the prophets of
the Lord is giving Tafseer of this verse he says unto unto the Munna,
Submarino mutton, you are completing 70 nations from before
you, you are at the end of 70 nations. And then he said, What an
Tumhari Ruha what a crumble ha Allah Allah, you are the best of
them, the choices of them and most noble of them in the sight of
Allah subhanho wa Taala This is what our messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam thoughts about us And subhanAllah living in this
country with all the the government attacks and the media
attacks on us and so on and so forth. We sometimes feel a bit
insecure, vulnerable. Some people begin to question their faith, is
it worth being a Muslim less people who are on the fringe, this
causes a lot of commotion for them. Recently, I had the
opportunity to go and visit Muslims in West Africa, in
Mauritania and Senegal. And I have to say subhanallah the believers I
saw there, gave me great hope that we're not alone.
You see the African Muslims there, And subhanAllah the kind of iman
that they have it uplifted my spirits. It gave me a new breath
of life, innocence, new sense of optimism. We have huge amounts of
people who are praying to Allah subhanaw taala. One of them
related to me from one of the pious and greatest Allah ma of the
last 14 years. Sheikh Ibrahim the US related one statement of his
the sheikh Ibrahim used to say in ni la oral man, what our fee per
year I'll minimum that I see many trials and tribulations. But in
the fold and inside wrapped up in these trials and tribulations, I
see great bounties and gifts, and Subhan. Allah with what is
happening in the recent times, it has opened up the Muslim community
to behave better with their neighbors. How many Muslims have
now started worrying about homeless people? How many Muslim
communities and masajid have now started worrying about what the
politicians are saying? How many have they started talking about
feeding the poor, gathering food for people and helping people out.
It's a time for us to wake up. Allah is only going to change us
if we try to change. That's why my final dua is that Oh Allah, You
grant us your mercy. You show us the way ahead. And you take us out
of these times into much better times. And show us the right way
ahead. We're here with our annual hamdulillahi rabbil Alameen
JazakAllah Aden for I'm extremely honored to be here, just like
