			smilla rahmanir rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil aalameen or salat wa salam ala rasulillah while
leaving your site be as mine, my brothers and sisters in Islam. Today we want to speak about the
best house you can build on earth and that is to build a Masjid to build a house for a loss of
Hannah who Medina. And so from among the most beloved deeds to Allah subhanho wa Taala and one of
the ways to secure a house for yourself in the Paradise is to build a house for a law to build a
Masjid and Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he says in an authentic hadith, man Benelli lair he must
Judah, Ben Allahu Allahu beighton Phil Jenna, men Benelli lair, whoever, whether male or female with
		
00:00:48 --> 00:01:37
			a young or old whoever builds a Masjid for a lot sincerely for Allah sake. He builds this Masjid
here on Earth. What's the reward? Allah subhanho wa Taala will build for him a house in the paradise
like Rob look at the difference. You build for a lot a house on Earth a Masjid and allows origin in
replacement in reward, he will give you a house an everlasting house in the paradise lava. Well,
what a beautiful transaction it is with a loss of Hannah who Medina and this hadith we can observe
God online he subhana wa tada we observed the generosity of Allah subhanho wa Taala in this Hadeeth
so congratulations to the one who saves up his money on a weekly basis or monthly basis or yearly
		
00:01:37 --> 00:02:28
			basis or whatever it is. He saves his this money in the intention of building for Allah subhanho wa
Taala a Masjid a house for a law on Earth. My brothers and sisters in Islam and the one who builds a
Masjid doesn't only get a house in the paradise in addition to this, listen to how beautiful this
is. Every single select that takes place in this Masjid, every record every sujood every letter of
the parameter resided in this Masjid, every Vicar every dryer, every lesson, every hope by any form
of worship, every donation, any form of worship that takes place within this Masjid, then the one
who built it, or contributed towards building it will also earn a share of the reward of all those
		
00:02:28 --> 00:03:12
			people that worship the laws origin in this Masjid Allah God, you know what this means? This means I
mean, throughout your entire life your earning has entered so long as people are benefiting and
worship a lot in this Masjid. And at the same time when you pass away, that has an ad haven't
stopped. It's like a river of hassle that continues to flood in your grave, and you're earning
earning all these has an ad so long as people are worshipping Allah in this message that you built
or contributed towards. When Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said in an authentic hadith men
Benelli lay he must didn't wanna commit hustle apart. Ban Allahu Allahu beighton Phil Jenna la Aqua,
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said that
		
00:03:18 --> 00:04:08
			if a person wants to build for a law for a law seek this lilla he is implying sincerity, that the
masjid must be built sincerely for Allah subhanho wa Taala not for any kind of recognition, or for
some kind of worldly position, or for some kind of reward from someone you learn. It must be
sincerely built for loss of power. What are the secrets the intention? One Oh, can be hustle popout
even if the size of this message it was the nest of a bird. Myth has pop up a pop up is a is a type
of bird it's a it's like a pigeon. It lives in the desert. And when it builds its nest its nest
obviously this bird's nest is called myth house. That's what it's called. And it's called a such
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:50
			because the word myth house comes from the word for house and for house means to scratch the earth.
So this type of bird that lives in the desert, when it wants to lay its eggs, it digs a small hole
in the earth and it lays its egg that's myth has about that's the nest of that bird. So Nabi
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam who says whoever builds a Masjid sincerely for Allah even if it was the
size of a bird's nest lock well, Allah subhanahu wa tada builds for him a house in the paradise and
this one individual alone. While he was seldom mentioned the series, this is an emphasis. Emphasis.
He's emphasizing the small size, meaning it doesn't matter. Doesn't matter how small dismisses it.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:59
			It doesn't matter how small your contribution tonight is for this month. It doesn't matter how small
the contribution is, even if it was a small as a bird's nest.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:47
			Allah subhanho wa Taala will build for such a person a house in the paradise with the scholars or
him a home a loving said that if a number of people, let's say 10 people, let's say 100 people, they
built a house for a lot, they built a Masjid. And each one of them wants to contribute the size of a
bird's nest. What's that? Even if everyone was to contribute five centimeter square, maybe 10
centimeter square, a lot of social will be built for each one of these 100 people, a house in the
paradise. So Pamela Camilla is a part of a diner. This is implying the generosity of ally you can
observe it in this hadith a lot of like about my brothers and sisters in Islam in this life, people
		
00:05:47 --> 00:06:32
			become extremely exhausted in order to build a house for themselves here on Earth, a house for them
to reside in. And by the time they work, and they save up their money, and they start building their
house, it could be 10 2030 years. And at the end at the end, you might live in it or you might not
end up living in it at all. You might end up living in your house for a few months or a few years.
And all the all the smile in between depression and sadness and worry and deaths and so on. And at
the end, he finally meets a loss of Anahata. All of this exhausting work and all of this effort for
a house in this worldly life that won't even belong to you anymore the day you die upon love when
		
00:06:32 --> 00:07:22
			you reflect over that you understand how much more important is it for a believer to have efforts to
build for him a house in the paradise and in order to attain that house in the paradise? One must
exhaust this effort into building a house for a lot of social on this earth or at least contributing
to our house for Allah subhanho wa Taala on this house on this earth look at what Allah subhana wa
tada he says in the Quran in ma mudo massage de la man Amana Billa he will Yeoman urquidy what a
karma salado Erica zeca What am yaksha illallah fileset we'll get a good woman mo de la la la, la
social within this area, he states a fact. But this fact it implies a command right and remember him
		
00:07:22 --> 00:08:07
			a home alone. Let's see if you'll give me a handle. How about I'm not alone amatola Zoysia mininova,
another dilemma surgeon. So overall, this is a fact. But within it is a command Alonzo shell is
commanding the believers to build massages and to maintain them a surgeon. And he says that the only
ones who do that are those who believe in the law and the last day and establish a solid and give a
second what am yaksha illa and they do not see anyone but Alonzo Hill. In other words, in other
words, building a Masjid. Maintaining a Masjid is a proof of event is a sign that a person genuinely
believes in Allah and then the last day and he correctly establishes his slot and gives zeca 1am
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:55
			yaksha illallah it's a testimony in a proof of genuine amen and faith in the heart of a person were
hired by him or her law one of them have a soon when he interpreted this as he said way after now
when were emailed to her alma mater had them Amina, he says and part of building a Masjid includes
maintaining and renovating what has been destroyed from it. Such as in the case of this Blissett
Masjid that we are speaking about tonight. sapan Allah and Why is it such a big deal to build the
masjid and to have this care for a Masjid my brothers and sisters in Islam? Because building al
Masjid was the job of prophets and Kaaba was built by Ibrahim and he's married. He was center and
		
00:08:55 --> 00:09:36
			what if you're a farmer, but he will call it a mineral bait. This is the job of prophets they will
knock this be beta knock this in Jerusalem. It was built by Adam Allah His seller, then by Sulaiman
Allah, He sent him it was renovated in their time. And then again, it was renovated in the time of
Ibrahim, and yeah, Obama he was set up and massage it went into a lot of renovation. And so now we
have a destroyed Masjid and it needs to be renovated. We contribute in such a thing. This is also a
part of building and maintaining a Muslim prophets and messengers and the righteous from among the
sleeves of a lot. So again, all contributed in building assertion to panelo even Rasulullah
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:59
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, above the list as well contributed in building assertion. Those who
know laws or shall are those who build an assertion and maintain these assertion. So once again,
congratulations to the one who builds massage palaces of Allah and to those who contribute towards
building a Masjid anywhere on the face of this earth. My brothers
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:42
			Sisters in Islam, the sooner as well is not just to build a Masjid, it is also to maintain and look
after this Masjid. Such as in the case of this Masjid we're speaking about tonight, it's damaged and
we're speaking about maintaining and renovating this Masjid once again. You know there are people
that have given their entire lives to look after the houses of a loss or even cleaning them,
maintaining them, repairing them, guarding them, and so on. When there is some Allahu Allah he was
telling me not authentic hadith he said, only about Allah yo. Mati. hapa Luca Veta. You heard you
heard you lumen and mercy Majid Allahu Akbar. Can you imagine this hadith? this hadith highlights
		
00:10:42 --> 00:11:00
			the importance of maintaining and looking after Muslim Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said, I
saw the deeds of my oma, meaning the many the countless deeds of Islam, good deeds, they were all
displayed and presented before us all the loss of the law while he was on them. And he said,
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:50
			he said that I saw from these deeds and convert the resolution and Masjid the speck of dust that a
person removes from the motion. The speck of dirt that a person removes from the masjid. Yeah, from
all the good deeds you saw in the VSA. lohana you assylum specifically mentions this, why to teach
his oma the importance of looking after images the importance of keeping it clean. Imagine then how
outstanding the reward is, for a person who doesn't only remove a speck of dirt from the budget
rather builds an entire Majid or renovate a destroyed Masjid Allahu Akbar. No doubt the reward is
great, and it's huge. And so, these are the people that are known as O'Malley massage it the
		
00:11:50 --> 00:12:30
			maintainers of the masjid those who show concern in the masjid. These are people that a lot priest
in the my brothers and sisters in Islam, look at this case, in the in the life of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. There was once a black woman who lived at the time of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, a black woman. And I mentioned a black woman, because the narration
mentioned it was a black woman. And just so you can understand how Islam treated everyone equally.
And that the only difference between the black and the white. There only nobility was because of
what they presented before Allah subhanho wa Taala listen to the story. This black woman
		
00:12:31 --> 00:13:10
			she was so concerned in cleaning the masjid of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam that was her
job cleaning the masjid, any hair strands, any wooden pieces left from a miss work and so on. She
would clean those up and she would clean the machine. That was her mission in life, to make sure
that the mystery of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam remains pure and clean all the time. So
one day, and this is in fact the normal for everyone. She passed away one night, and the companions
didn't want to disturb Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam while he was asleep, so they quickly
prepared her she knows that they preyed upon her and they quickly went and buried her for Nabi
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:55
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the next morning when he found her absent in the masjid. He couldn't see
her anymore. He asked about her. Where is this black woman that would clean the budget. She was
missing? fat. They said to her yellow Salalah in her method belaid she died at night and we didn't
want to disturb you so we quickly prepared those you know that we preyed upon only we bear we buried
her for Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said to them, he was angry, condemning what they did.
After they come to earth and to Mooney. He said Why didn't you seek my permission for that which you
did? Lock up. Kenny as though the bizarre synonym is condemning the way they treated her janessa
		
00:13:56 --> 00:14:34
			because they believe in her case. They said it was just a random woman. Clean the budget. Let's just
do her Yoni she's not worthy of us waking are full of muscle Allahu alayhi wa sallam up but in the
visa law, Holly hills and them taught them and listen. He said, How dare you do such a thing? Why
didn't you seek my permission? You see, you see when luisana seldom said that it implies the love
and Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had for this woman that would clean the masjid. This is
implying the love that little sola mussel Allahu alayhi wa sallam has for those who build and
worship for those who maintain unless you so Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said to them, Do
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:40
			Luni Allah copy her to Luni Allah copy her going direct me to her grave.
		
00:14:41 --> 00:15:00
			Take me right away to her grief now, so they took him some Allahu alayhi wa send them to her grief.
for Sunday I lay her and he stood upon her grief, and he offered celestun ginoza upon her grief
Allahu Akbar. Look how special this woman was. That maybe some Allahu Allah you assylum went to her
group.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:49
			And often selected ginoza alone by himself, after they had already preyed upon her. Why? Why, what
made her special, the fact that she was a mean to have and massage it. Imagine how much more special
is a person when he built a machine when he renovated a machine for low seek, and then he maintains
this Masjid by keeping it clean and tidy and pure for those to come for many years to pray in it. So
he preyed upon her. And he made the Dwyer and he said in the heavy in a boo, boo automaton, Allah,
Leah are in the law, you know, we will have a son that era him, he said to the companions, that
these grieves are full of a full of darkness. They are gloomy upon those who reside in them. That's
		
00:15:49 --> 00:16:29
			the reality of the grief. It is dark, it's gloomy. It's a tight place. Then he said, and Allah
subhanho wa Taala illuminates the screen, he brightens the screen with my salad with my dryer for
these people that are within it. In other words, in other words, light in the grief existed, like in
the grief this this woman's grieve was brightened because of her relationship with the mothership.
Because of her concern to clean and mudgett fair. So how long the one who looks after our budget,
this is a reason for his lack of grief to be illuminated, for his grief to be brightened.
		
00:16:31 --> 00:17:14
			For, for the special love of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for such people, my brothers and
sisters in Islam, the masjid is a wholly honored place. It is not permissible to buy and sell in the
masjid. If we see a transaction taking place in the masjid, we should say to those people learn
about Hello digital attack, may You not profit from your business transaction, we may plan against
them. Why? Just so we can preserve the holiness and the respect of these places. It is not allowed
to announce lost property in the Muslim Why? Because these places are holy and indivisible. Allahu
alayhi wa sallam now, he shared the burner. If you've lost something, don't come and announce it in
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:24
			the masjid. Brothers and sisters. I've lost something as someone seen my last property now as a
Muslim to barely have a massage it weren't built for this purpose.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:18:12
			They were built for vehicle loans. So part of what Diana and only for the last 24 hours of the day,
only vehicle law should be mentioned in these massages. Can you see how much importance and care at
least them teaches about the machine? This is why each reward is great. Because of how homey these
places are. Alonso he says what undone massage he that lilla that the mystery belongs to alone. Do
you know what you're doing? When you build a budget? you're building something that belongs to Allah
What an honor glovework Well, you're building something that belongs to Allah. Like when Ibrahim
Allah you said I'm doing a gather all our social priests that in the Quran, and he made a point of
		
00:18:12 --> 00:19:01
			it. What is your referral, Ibrahim will come in and bait. Danny such people deserve to be mentioned
in the Quran. Such people are praised by Allah. It's not an easy thing. You're building a holy
sacred place on Earth. This earth that is filled with corruption, this earth that is filled with
unjustice and oppression. And you're coming to build a house for a law, a place of justice, a place
of worship, a place that is beloved, the law, a police study secret and holy. And when we enter this
Masjid, we face an Qibla we face and Qibla that's part of honoring the masjid that allows origin
commanded us that we face the Qibla Why? You see a Qibla Makkah is known as Oman, Pura, the mother
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:44
			of nations, it is the mother of the massagin. Why? Because all the messages that are around the
world are like children are like its children, like the children of Makkah have a GABA. So if we
cannot get to a Kava, which is the Most Holy Place on Earth, we intend to massage it and we face
towards a gamma. This is there's a direct relationship and an attachment between every Masjid and a
GABA vapor lung and how this is what you're building when you contribute towards a mission. When you
build a machine, this is what you're building. You're essentially tying this place to be to luck and
how long luck Well, these messages are holy. Allah subhanho wa Taala commands us. Yeah, Benny Adama
		
00:19:44 --> 00:20:00
			who's the meta command the Kali machine? Do you understand that? I'm on social media specific dress
code, just to enter service yet. Take the best of your code, adorn yourself, beautifying yourself
with the best of clothing when you go to
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:42
			Unless you and you pray, because these places are not just like your house, or your friend's house
or a restaurant or wherever you go on earth is treated differently. They have this special kind of
clothing. Like about Nabi sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam, he teaches us that if you were to eat garlic
or onion, or anything that has an unpleasant smell, avoid the masjid. Dude, come here. Even your
smell, you have to smell beautiful before you step foot in a Masjid. And the one who's building
this, can you understand what he's building? He's building a holy place. Even if you stink, you
shouldn't come to the masjid. Why? So that the holiness of this place is preserved, so that the
		
00:20:42 --> 00:21:04
			sacredness of this place is preserved? Imagine then, when a Masjid is built, how quick should
Muslims be in rushing to build and maintain and look after the Muslim? We're telling you maybe some
allamani smec if you ate garlic don't come to the masjid. Imagine then when it's destroyed, and
bricks all over the place, and then mustard is burned and it's vandalized.
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:50
			Then if a person that's not unpleasant should avoid, then how quick are we supposed to be to
renovate a place that now looks dirty, and is being burned. And it's unfunctional Allahu Akbar. This
is a duty and a worship upon us to rush to build this Masjid and preserve it and maintain its honor,
and dignity and nobility. This is our job to do that. Were the ones that are going to benefit from
that the reward is for us. And we prove to Allah subhanho wa Taala our love for his houses, our love
for these places. Well, what about my brothers and sisters in Islam? We need to build these muscles
physically and spiritually, physically by contributing with our wealth, and our herds and our effort
		
00:21:50 --> 00:22:33
			to put these messages up and build them. And then we need to build them spiritually. And that is by
attending them for every salette if you can, and attend the lessons and establish lessons and
congregational prayers with tomorrow Vicar, Oprah, and nothing else involved in the masjid only that
which reminds you of a lot. So when, when the VI sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he mentioned in an
authentic hadith, that one of the signs of the hour is the people will gather in the masjid, and
they will speak about their worldly matters. The vehcile Allahu alayhi wa sallam said if you see
them for two surely soon, do not sit with them. These people don't deserve to the if they don't
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:45
			deserve your company, and you for you together with them. Why? Because they are dishonouring the
House of Lords social by bringing into it that which it wasn't built for luck about
		
00:22:46 --> 00:23:30
			attending the masjid regularly. Building an assertion is a sign of a lot of sojourns love for you.
It's a sign of a lot of love. And you know, I give you this example. If I continuously invited you
to my house, if I if I invited you five times a day to my house to my personal house, what does that
say about me? It says about how much I love you. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't have invited you.
For when he left his method Allah The more you attend the masjid, the more this is a sign of a large
social his love for you that Allah has allowed you to come one time after another to his Masjid
invites you one time after another law. What about when there is some Allahu alayhi wa sallam he
		
00:23:30 --> 00:24:00
			said, and this is me I'm finalizing my speech. He teaches us that even the angels have love and a
special spot for who's who maintain and massage it and build them in the hadith of Abu Dhabi Allah
one in the riesel Allahu alayhi wa sallam he said in the little massage Ed oh there then in Lille
massage Ed otehr Daniel mela eager to hula said Oh, I'm in horrible yet the Kaduna home we're in
Malibu I do home we're in can Wolfie hi Jatin
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:46
			Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he says that the massage it they have certain pillars, they have
pillars. What does that mean? It means that the massage should have consistent attendees, people
that regularly come the angels regularly sit with these people. And when these people are absent,
the angels inquire about them. And when these people are sick, the angels visit them. And when these
people are in need, the angels assist them and they help them. This is the love the angels have for
the one who's a regular attendee for the masjid imagine then how much love would the angels have for
a person who is not only a regular attendee, but he's a person who built a Masjid contributed to
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:59
			renovating a Masjid a lot about finally my brothers and sisters in Islam. Let's understand this
wealth of ours. What are we supposed to do with it? When you donate your money? You're not just
donating money. You're doing
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:45
			needing your time and effort because behind this money is many hours, and a lot of effort behind it
in order for you to have gained it. You do needing time and effort and money think of that. Well,
lots of how to have a data set as in an authentic hadith. In unzila, man, Lee calm you celerity wer
e there is a cat. And the recent Allahu alayhi wa sallam was commanded by Amar, to go and tell the
people that our law says that he sent this wolf down, who Oh, gentle man, Alonzo Zhen made this
world accessible, and provided this wealth for us for what reason? What's the purpose of it? The
apom is solid, so that we establish a solid, how can you establish solid, you need to build the
		
00:25:45 --> 00:26:29
			mustard with this money? Now you stablish or select what you bear is to get and this wealth was
given to us by Allah so that we can pay ours again? And what does that mean? What does that mean?
Our Deen is based on these two things. These are the main pillars establishing slurp and giving a
second Of course, considering that a person first accepts the oneness of a loss or gender is the
main pillar of Islam. And then the two huge actions in Islam is that we establish a solid and give
us a cat. In other words, what do we mean? What does this mean? It means that a lot of social sent
down money provided us with money so that we establish the Dean of a law social on earth by building
		
00:26:29 --> 00:27:00
			massagin by using this wolf to any kind of effort that contributes towards the door of Allah
subhanho wa Taala on earth laqad We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to give us the honor, that we
contribute to this Masjid because if allows origin gives us this honor, then indeed we are honored
in the sight of Allah subhanho wa Taala for ask Allah Zoysia and to make it easier upon us and to
allow us and to give us permission
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:17
			that we establish his masajid on Earth, both physically and spiritually. And we asked him subhana wa
tada to accept from us, which is Ecuador, La Jolla, la sallallahu wasallam opelika ala nabina
Muhammad while leaving on Sunday, as you mean
