Brothers and sisters, the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
he mentioned an authentic hadith
that was narrated by Ibn Majah that the
prophet shalallahu alaihi wa sallam said,
That the religion of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
is gonna fade away.
Just like the embroidery on a thaw,
is going to fade away.
Until there comes a time when the people,
they don't know
what fasting is.
And they don't know what the sadaqah is.
And they don't know
the matches pertaining
the hedge.
All these things
the people are going to be forgetting about.
And the people are not gonna know due
to the ignorance becoming very very widespread.
This
is what the prophet
told us is going to happen in the
end of time.
Things that we see today
is going to be in opposition
to what the Sahaba saw as important.
What the Sahaba made the priority,
what they saw to be very very important,
we are going to be looking at it
as if it has no value.
As if the issue is not important at
all. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, he told
us in another hadith.
From the signs of the Allah,
is the knowledge is become is gonna become
very very little.
And ignorance is gonna become very widespread.
Is gonna become very widespread as well, very
very apparent.
And people are gonna be killing each other.
It's gonna become very very widespread as well.
As you see today
happening,
brothers and sisters that which you wanna speak
about today,
is that which Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has
made the priority in his Quran?
And how the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Salam
made into a priority in his time? And
how today
we don't see it as a priority.
We see other things as a priority.
Without a doubt, is
something very very important in our religion.
Staying away from drugs,
staying away from girlfriends, from boyfriends,
all these things are very very important in
our religion.
There's many many topics that a hadith can
speak about.
There's many many topics someone can speak about.
The major sins,
being good to your parents, being good to
your neighbors, all these things are part of
our religion. And don't get me wrong, they're
very very important things of our religion.
But that which you see today
is not spoken about
in much detail is the matter of
The importance this has in our religion.
How we should be seeing this matter of
and likewise the matter of
These are 2 things that come under each
other in the religion of Islam.
Things that a person needs to believe.
And if you look back at the
time of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
and how he went about in his dawah.
Some of the things that he gave importance
to.
How he went about.
For 13 years, 13 years, he's calling the
people to tawhid, and that's it.
Calling the people to tawhid. And then after
that when he made hijrah,
10 years.
Many ayats came down and at the same
time the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam gave
importance to the matter of tawhid. The prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is dying.
He's dying from his final words.
Aisha radiAllahu anha she said,
The prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam started saying,
saying, May the curse of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala be upon the Jews and the Christians
who took the grave as places of worship.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam is dying.
He's warning the people away from
taking the graves as places of worship.
Because it's a
gariya. It takes and he leads the person
to making
And this is what has been made into
a priority. Today we hear that is not
important.
Or learning
This is what is on the saha today.
To learn that is a disease.
You find very very famous people who say
statements like this. The
studying
is a form of disease. And now you
can learn the in 10 minutes.
Where is written in the Quran?
You find people say this, where is akheed
that written in the Quran? We're only gonna
give a priority
to things like,
killing someone,
stealing, and all these other things are mentioned
in the Quran.
Brothers and sisters brothers and sisters,
let me give you a few analogies, few
examples
of the reality of the situation.
That if a person now was committing zina
all his life,
and he's killing, and he's stealing,
and he's committing the rest of the major
sins.
If this person dies, if this person dies,
he's under the mashi of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala. If Allah
wills, he forgives him, or he doesn't forgive
him. And sooner or later this person is
gonna enter into jannah. That doesn't mean it
is okay for a person to carry on
doing whatever he's doing. To commit to
have a boyfriend, to have a girlfriend,
to do the rest of the
Because you don't know what Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala is gonna do to you. Whether He's
gonna forgive you, and I'm sure nobody wants
to have a bubble or a cloud above
his head. That there's a chance of him
touching the fire.
Brothers and sisters, we all have kitchens. We
all have kitchens. And every single person here
has a cooker.
If a person now was to go touch
the fire in the cooker,
nobody in this dunya can bear the fire.
No one can.
And imagine now imagine now the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam told us, and now relative
to Khidun.
The fire that you have in this dunya,
that you kindle with, that you use,
is 1 70th
1 70th
of the fire in the If we compare
the fire in this dunya, then how on
earth do you think
that we're gonna even come close to bearing
the fire in the akhirah? Brothers and sisters
contemplate this.
That example that I gave, it's a reality
that if a person was doing all these
things, and he dies
upon to hate,
believing in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And he
singles him out in worship, And he doesn't
do
and he doesn't disbelieve in that which Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala told him to believe,
then this person sooner or later is gonna
enter into Jannah.
But if a person know If a person
now, iqwani,
is committing
He is calling on to other than Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Which has become very very
common in our society today.
You Allah. You Rasulullah.
This is what we hear today.
Someone saying, You Allah. You Rasulullah.
Brothers and sisters, we hear today, why are
the ulama speaking of my shirk all the
time? Why are the ulama constantly speaking about
tuhid?
The reason why you're doing this, or why
they are doing this, and they're constantly teaching
the books of a Tawhid, because it has
a very big importance in our lives.
In our religion,
if you ask a person where is the
holiest place? Where is the holiest place to
a Muslim? He'll say to you the Makkur
Madinah.
Brothers and sisters, I've seen this with my
own eyes. Witness this with my own eyes.
We are doing Tawaf.
Tawaf around the Kaaba in the holiest place
to any Muslim. The holiest place in our
religion. People are going around the Kaaba and
saying, oh Ali. Oh Ali. Save us from
the
hellfire.
This is the kind type of common thing
that is happening in our time today. So
how can tawheed not be important? Or how
can the Akhidah not be important?
An Egyptian guy shouts at them and he
says to them, This is inside the Haram.
This is around the Kaaba. Saying to them,
say o Allah. They shout back and they
say, oh Ali save us from the hellfire.
This is major shirk. Imagine now an ignorant
person that doesn't know any aspects of his
religion. You find sometimes when a person does
tawaf,
he basically does what everyone else is doing.
What everyone else is doing, he basically turns
a lot. Whatever chorus they're saying, this guy
does as well because he doesn't know.
Imagine how this individual now comes, and he
starts saying the same thing that these people
are saying. You go to the
masjid of the prophet
at his grave at his grave, you find
people making dua. Oh prophet
do this for us, do this for us,
and do that for us.
Very very common. You go to many many
place in around the world, people have taken
their masajid,
or taken their graves
as a place of worship.
You have graves there. The whole point is
the whole point is that this is a
serious matter. A serious matter. Let me give
another example.
We have people that believe, that there's a
prophet after the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
called Ahmad.
They pray just like when you pray. They
fast just like you fast, and they perform
the Hajj just like every single other person
performs the Hajj.
But because they believe that Ahmed There's a
man called Ahmed after the prophet
there is a consensus, a unanimous agreement
between every single Muslim that whoever
believes that there's a prophet after the prophet
and this has this person has committed kufar.
So please tell me, how on earth did
his or whatever he knows, whether it's his
fiqh. Even if he knows the fiqh inside
out, the matters of
the matters
of he knows these matters inside out.
How is this gonna benefit him? If his
belief, just one belief that he has,
which has opposed the principles of how this
is gonna have any benefit to this person's
life. Just to show you the matter of
Look at the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
He's going out
in a jihad. He's went to fight the
people of
in the battle of.
20,000 people
or 20,000 of the people of are waiting
for him.
They wanna fight the prophet
It's a serious matter. It's gonna bother the
prophet
You have a very large number waiting for
you, and they wanna slaughter you.
The prophet
before the battle, as they were walking,
there were Sahabis, they were companions who were
neutral Islam. They walked past a tree, and
the
they used to take this tree, and they
used to hang their their
weapons on this tree.
So once they said,
Make us a tree just like they have
tree as well. So we can seek blessings
from this tree, we can hang our weapons
on
there. Brothers and sisters just contact me on
this matter now. Did the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam say,
I'm only gonna give priority
to maybe jihad. Why? Because it's important and
because it's written in the Quran many many
times.
And I'm gonna leave off the 28th. Forget
about this for the very moment, and I'm
gonna come back to it later.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam stopped what
he was doing, and he turned around and
he said to them,
You have now said similar thing to what
the people of Musa said to Musa alaihis
salaam.
Make us a god just like they have
a god as well.
Just to show you what the prophet
gave priority to. Brothers and sisters,
this matter is serious.
I'm sure none of us none of us
wanna come maybe in a few years time.
Our kids who are away from us maybe
6 7 years.
Forget about kids, even elderly people.
Today you have our brothers and sisters,
who we knew, some of them maybe became
atheist,
some of them maybe they only believe in
the Quran, they don't believe in the sunnah.
Some of them they curse the sahaba,
and it's becoming more widespread, more widespread. That's
the reason why we decided to make this
atomic today.
Your family member to turn around to you
in a few years time,
and he's cursing the sahaba. Why? Because he
never learned the
Someone came to him and he gave him
doubts.
Why do you think certain
Message like this and
they make the issue with aqidah priority.
That's the first thing they teach. Because it's
a serious matter.
Someone turning around to you tomorrow,
and he believes there's a prophet after the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Because there's doubt, or he only believes in
the Quran. He doesn't believe in a sunnah.
He denies
it. Or he curses the Sahaba.
Or he starts making dua to other than
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
We're not talking about now
committing
or committing any other major, major sin because
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala might forgive this person
or he might not.
If a person dies upon
believing in any of these things we just
mentioned,
this person as Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentioned,
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has prohibited
the Jannah of Him.
Even if the were just speaking about the
matter of
and nothing else, there wouldn't be no There
wouldn't be no The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam told us in authentic
hadith.
The best dua
is the
And the best thing that I ever said,
and the prophets before me is That's
the best thing that the prophet and
the prophets before him ever said. So even
if a person were just constantly speaking about
it, there's no aid because it's the best
thing that a person can say.
Brothers and sisters,
if Ibrahim alaihis salatu wa salam
the prophet,
the individual
who
said,
He swore by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that
he's gonna break the statues
and he did.
He fought shirk.
He warned against it.
He called his father to it
until he established the fruits on his father.
What was he warning against? He was warning
against Shirkuhullah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And then he makes vow to Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala.
O Allah, prevent me, and stop me and
my offspring from worshiping
Allah worshipping Allah
This is Ibrahim
fearing for himself.
He's
scared that he's gonna not worship Islam,
and he's making dua to Allah
If this is him,
if this is him
being scared, then where do you think any
of us are?
And Ibrahim alaihi salatu wa salam warned against
this. Have any of us ever thought,
thought about this matter?
And we made du'a Allah
stop me from doing this. There's many many
Muslims
in front of us that we see.
What makes you think that come that you
call me this tomorrow?
They make to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. It's
very very common now.
Very very common and becoming more widespread. The
doubts
are becoming very very common and widespread as
well. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam amongst
him with the Sahaba.
He said,
He said
The prophet said,
that which I fear the most
for all of you lot
is the shirk al Asar. The minor shirk.
So the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam was asked,
why is the minor shirk? He said, ariyah
to show off.
He's saying this among the Sahaba. That which
I fear for you the most. Not that
you're gonna be disobedient to your parents.
Not that you're going to be committing
zina. Not that you're going to be killing
one another. These things are very very important.
But he said that which I fear the
most for you lot,
is a riyah, to be showing off in
the Ibadah, which is a form of shirk.
As the prophet
made it clear in this hadith.
Brothers and sisters, this matter is very, very
important.
It is very, very important. It is more
important than any topic that we might ever
speak about.
But today but today, Ikhwani,
because you have certain individuals that belittle this
matter, they look down at it.
They say to where is
the We only make a priority that which
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala made the priority. As
if the matter of
a is no priority.
You find that the people,
they tend to go far far away from
the matters of
and become busy with other stuff.
And the Shuba had overwhelmed them,
and that which is a priority they now
see to be
not such of a priority,
and this is the statement of Allah, the
prophet sallallahu alaihi was saying that we mentioned
at the start of the Khuba, that Islam
is gonna fade away.
Islam is gonna fade away.
Just like the improvement
of your thought is gonna fade away.
We have closed, Dhikwani. Every single one of
us has closed.
Find you find after a certain amount of
time when the clothes are washed, when your
shoes are used, the rain comes, it goes
in mud, you wash it, it starts to
fade away. Here the prophet
tells us that the Islam is gonna fade
away.
That which the Sahaba, they gave a lot
of concern to People today, they're not gonna
give much concern to.
So the whole point is, Ikhwani, we need
to go back to the classical text.
Starting with ourselves and our families is to
teach them the matters of
the matters
of which could be the only thing that
saves them.
Could be the only thing that saves them.
