Abu Taymiyyah – Champions League Final vs Ust ‘s lecture HeartTouching Reminder

00:00:00 --> 00:00:02

My dear respective brothers and sisters, before I

00:00:02 --> 00:00:03

start the lecture,

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06

I just want to mention the following.

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

I'm extremely extremely surprised

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12

that so many people have attended the lecture

00:00:12 --> 00:00:13

today.

00:00:13 --> 00:00:16

And that is because I was made aware,

00:00:16 --> 00:00:17

I believe it was yesterday night,

00:00:18 --> 00:00:19

that today's lecture

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

is going to be conflicting with the champions

00:00:22 --> 00:00:23

league final.

00:00:26 --> 00:00:27

And I know subhanAllah,

00:00:28 --> 00:00:31

how the hearts are very glued to football.

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

There's a lot of people, they normally don't

00:00:35 --> 00:00:36

watch football but when it comes to the

00:00:36 --> 00:00:37

final,

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40

even the wife who has no interest, she's

00:00:40 --> 00:00:43

watching the penalty shoot out. And it's Gedalik,

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

isn't that so?

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

So I'm extremely extremely humbled

00:00:47 --> 00:00:49

to see all of these

00:00:49 --> 00:00:50

glowing faces

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

who came to the lecture today to benefit.

00:00:54 --> 00:00:55

And without a shadow of a doubt, when

00:00:55 --> 00:00:58

an individual worships Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

at the time when the people are heedless,

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

the reward is far greater.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

And the scholars they mentioned this as a

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07

at

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08

the time of rafla.

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

This is why when you look at the

00:01:11 --> 00:01:11

hadith,

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

when the messenger salallahu alaihi wasallam, he said,

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18

whoever enters into the markets,

00:01:19 --> 00:01:20

And he says,

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

Whoever reads this supplication,

00:01:37 --> 00:01:40

when entering into the markets, you know his

00:01:40 --> 00:01:40

reward is?

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

He'll be rewarded with

00:01:48 --> 00:01:48

a million

00:01:49 --> 00:01:50

good deeds.

00:01:54 --> 00:01:56

Today you hear the term million or million.

00:01:57 --> 00:01:58

Right?

00:01:58 --> 00:02:00

This is not actually an Arabic word.

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

In previous times when they wanted to mention

00:02:03 --> 00:02:04

a million they would say,

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

which means a 1000, a 1000, 6 zeros.

00:02:08 --> 00:02:09

Right?

00:02:09 --> 00:02:10

It's a million.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

How am I getting it wrong?

00:02:12 --> 00:02:13

It's a million.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16

It doesn't stop there.

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19

A million

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20

bad deeds will

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22

be removed.

00:02:24 --> 00:02:27

SubhanAllah. Just for saying that dua when entering

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

into the markets.

00:02:29 --> 00:02:30

And Allah

00:02:31 --> 00:02:33

will elevate him a 1000000 positions.

00:02:34 --> 00:02:35

Subhanallah.

00:02:35 --> 00:02:36

All because

00:02:37 --> 00:02:38

of you reading a supplication.

00:02:39 --> 00:02:40

But why though?

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

What normally happens in the markets?

00:02:43 --> 00:02:43

People

00:02:44 --> 00:02:45

are walking

00:02:47 --> 00:02:48

around. Worshipping Allah Azzawajib?

00:02:49 --> 00:02:50

That is a place of

00:02:51 --> 00:02:52

heedlessness.

00:02:53 --> 00:02:54

The people are distracted.

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58

There's all types of evil deeds taking place.

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00

This one is cheating the other, this one

00:03:00 --> 00:03:02

is trying to rip off the other, this

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04

one has gone to

00:03:05 --> 00:03:06

maybe the city center,

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

or the markets in order to pick this

00:03:09 --> 00:03:10

girl up,

00:03:11 --> 00:03:13

to look at this person and to look

00:03:13 --> 00:03:13

at that,

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

is a place of fitna, right? So when

00:03:16 --> 00:03:19

worshipping Allah in this kind of environment, when

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21

the people are distracted without the shadow of

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

a doubt, the reward is greater.

00:03:24 --> 00:03:25

Also what did the prophet salallahu alaihi wa

00:03:25 --> 00:03:26

sallam say?

00:03:30 --> 00:03:31

Worshipping Allah

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

at a time when the people are killing

00:03:34 --> 00:03:35

one another.

00:03:36 --> 00:03:38

It's like doing hijrah to me.

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41

Imagine the prophet salallahu alaihi wasalam is alive,

00:03:42 --> 00:03:44

and you leave everything behind

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46

in order to migrate to him.

00:03:48 --> 00:03:50

Are we living in times like this without

00:03:50 --> 00:03:51

a shadow of a doubt?

00:03:52 --> 00:03:55

At a time when fitna has become so

00:03:55 --> 00:03:55

widespread.

00:03:58 --> 00:04:00

This was mentioned by Ibn Rajib Rahmatullahi

00:04:00 --> 00:04:01

Alaihi,

00:04:01 --> 00:04:03

I thought it was worth mentioning.

00:04:04 --> 00:04:06

I thought it was worth mentioning.

00:04:06 --> 00:04:09

I'm not saying that watching the champions league

00:04:09 --> 00:04:10

final is kufar or shirk

00:04:11 --> 00:04:13

or innovation, I never said that. Did I

00:04:13 --> 00:04:14

say that? No, I didn't.

00:04:14 --> 00:04:15

However,

00:04:17 --> 00:04:18

there's a type of heedlessness, right?

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

But you left that even though I know

00:04:23 --> 00:04:25

how much one may want to watch that

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27

football game especially when it's the final.

00:04:28 --> 00:04:29

But he comes to worship Allah

00:04:31 --> 00:04:32

attend the lecture.

00:04:33 --> 00:04:34

And you know what's even worse than that

00:04:34 --> 00:04:35

my brothers and my sisters?

00:04:37 --> 00:04:38

When the Mu'addin

00:04:38 --> 00:04:39

says,

00:04:39 --> 00:04:40

Allahu Akbar.

00:04:42 --> 00:04:42

Right?

00:04:43 --> 00:04:45

Allahu Akbar, what does Allahu Akbar mean?

00:04:48 --> 00:04:49

Allah has the greatest right?

00:04:50 --> 00:04:51

If anyone said

00:04:53 --> 00:04:53

that

00:04:54 --> 00:04:55

so and so is greater than Allah

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59

you're going to see tables being flipped. And

00:04:59 --> 00:04:59

isn't

00:05:00 --> 00:05:00

that so?

00:05:01 --> 00:05:03

Is anyone going to accept someone

00:05:04 --> 00:05:06

insulting Allah like that?

00:05:07 --> 00:05:08

Not that I'm saying you should do that.

00:05:09 --> 00:05:10

You have to use hikmah,

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

wisdom in how to deal with that situation.

00:05:14 --> 00:05:15

No one

00:05:15 --> 00:05:16

with his tongue

00:05:17 --> 00:05:19

in his right mind as a Muslim would

00:05:19 --> 00:05:20

say

00:05:21 --> 00:05:22

that this footballer,

00:05:22 --> 00:05:23

Cristiano Ronaldo,

00:05:24 --> 00:05:25

Lionel Messi,

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28

or the one that's playing now, Mbappe, right?

00:05:29 --> 00:05:31

Yes, I know what's been happening between him

00:05:31 --> 00:05:32

and his French teammate.

00:05:33 --> 00:05:35

Don't worry, we're up to date with current

00:05:35 --> 00:05:35

affairs.

00:05:38 --> 00:05:40

Don't be deceived by this beard and this

00:05:41 --> 00:05:43

We're the same age, well a lot of

00:05:43 --> 00:05:44

us, we're from the same

00:05:45 --> 00:05:45

generation.

00:05:46 --> 00:05:47

Right?

00:05:50 --> 00:05:51

You choose to prioritize

00:05:53 --> 00:05:54

a or

00:05:55 --> 00:05:56

someone who himself is heedless,

00:05:57 --> 00:06:00

and oblivious of the commandments of Allah Allahu

00:06:01 --> 00:06:03

Akbar, Allah is the greatest.

00:06:03 --> 00:06:05

You hear that, but you choose to put

00:06:05 --> 00:06:07

Allah as a wajal on standby. Let me

00:06:07 --> 00:06:09

go watch that football game, and I'll go

00:06:09 --> 00:06:11

and pray later. When you know you should

00:06:11 --> 00:06:12

be coming to the house of Allah as

00:06:12 --> 00:06:13

a wajal.

00:06:15 --> 00:06:18

They say actions speak louder than words, right?

00:06:18 --> 00:06:20

This is also the statement of the scholars.

00:06:26 --> 00:06:28

You may not necessarily utter with your tongue

00:06:28 --> 00:06:31

but your limbs show otherwise, would you guys

00:06:31 --> 00:06:31

agree with that?

00:06:33 --> 00:06:34

That game that you're playing.

00:06:35 --> 00:06:36

P s 5 or is that p s

00:06:36 --> 00:06:39

6 now? Still on p s 5. Right?

00:06:40 --> 00:06:42

FIFA, pro evolution.

00:06:42 --> 00:06:45

You're playing that, the adhan is going off,

00:06:47 --> 00:06:49

and you're continuously watching or playing

00:06:50 --> 00:06:51

or watching this movie.

00:06:53 --> 00:06:55

And whatever else of a distraction,

00:06:58 --> 00:07:00

one may be distracted with

00:07:03 --> 00:07:03

would say,

00:07:07 --> 00:07:09

If you really want to know

00:07:09 --> 00:07:11

your position with Allah

00:07:12 --> 00:07:14

then see what triggers you.

00:07:16 --> 00:07:18

See what triggers you.

00:07:18 --> 00:07:20

What causes you to stand and what causes

00:07:20 --> 00:07:21

you to sit?

00:07:21 --> 00:07:23

Is it Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26

So good, claiming with our tongues, I love

00:07:26 --> 00:07:27

Allah.

00:07:27 --> 00:07:30

I love the messenger, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:07:31 --> 00:07:32

But is that really a reality?
