Brothers and sisters in Islam,
don't you want to honor in this life
and in the afterlife,
Especially in this day and age that we
live in, in where many people have lost
their honor, have lost their dignity and their
nobility.
No doubt
a sane intellectual person
wants to be honored first and foremost by
Allah Azzawajal in this life and in the
afterlife.
Listen to the secret,
the honor of the believer is a sujood,
a sujood
and this is the worship
that we are conducting
on a daily basis many many times.
In Surat Al Hajj Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
makes this very clear for us. Listen brothers
and sisters in Islam Allah
says,
Allah
addresses in the ways of Allah
and He addresses the believers. He says, can't
you see? Can't you see with your heart
and understanding? Can't you see with your eyes
that whatever is in the heavens,
heavens
and everything that is on earth, whatever Allah
has created on earth,
it prostrates to Allah
It is in constant sujood to Allah
Then Allah
specifically mentioned
the sun, the moon and the stars
the mountains, the trees
and the creatures.
These things were specifically mentioned,
even though they are included in whatever is
in the Earths,
because
these are creation of Allah that were worshipped
besides
Allah
So there are people that worship the sun
and some worship the stars and some worship
the moon and some worship trees and others
worship animals. So Allah
specifically
mentioned these 6 things
to make sure that we understand
that these things that have been worshipped
besides Allah, they themselves
make sujood to Allah Azazul
They don't only worship Allah
but they are actually engaged in sujood to
Allah
The deed that brings you the most closest
to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. The mama
said,
And many, many of mankind
make sujood to Allah
Did you know brothers and sisters in Islam
that the believer makes sujood to Allah and
even the disbeliever
makes sujood to Allah
but there is a difference between the 2.
The believer makes sujood to Allah willingly
while the disbeliever
he does sujood to Allah but forcefully.
How is that the case? Allah
Allah He says whatever is in the heavens
and whatever is in the earth make sujood
to Allah
Some
are willingly making sujood to Allah and others
are forcefully making sujood to Allah. How does
the disbeliever make sujood to Allah? Allah azza
wa jal, he says,
The shadow, the shadow is actually making sujood
to Allah
Now we come back to the ayah of
Surat Al Hajj, Allah
then he said,
This is a new fact Allah says
and many of the creation of Allah, many
of mankind
the punishment has been justified for them it
has been decreed and written upon them. We
ask Allah Azzawajal to save us. Who are
these people? These are the people that refuse
to make sujood to Allah They refuse to
pray, they refuse to obey Allah
command and the greatest of Allah's command
after a Tawhid, after embracing the oneness of
Allah is a Salat.
They decided to be like Iblis
when he refused to make the sajdah to
Adam
He refused the commandment of Allah
And finally, the end of the ayah brings
all into light. Allah
He says,
If Allah wanted
to humiliate someone,
then you will not find anyone that can
honor such a person.
You know, the beginning of the year was
about a sujood prostration.
The end of the year was about humiliation
and honour. The one who avoids a sujood,
such a person is degraded
and he's humiliated.
Doesn't matter how much people glorify him on
earth,
in the heavens he is disgraced.
In the sight of Allah he is disgraced
and on the day of judgement he faces
the worst type of punishment
and the one
who makes sujood
in this world of life
and he's careful
and always conscious about his sujood
and making sure that he obeys Allah
then such a person, even if people
have disgraced him on earth
and people have turned away from him, then
Allah
in the heavens has honored such a person.
