Dear respected brothers and sisters,
as
you have come to know,
it is the day of Eid, a day
that Allah
has blessed the people with happiness.
It is a day of food and drink,
and a day of enjoying us and happiness.
The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he said
to us in a hadith that was narrated
by Imam Ahmed,
that he said,
And he came in other narrations, in other
hadith, where the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
he talked about the day that comes after
the Ramadan, which is in correspondence to this
day, Eid al Fitr. That these days are
days of enjoyment, and also days of happiness.
With these days,
it is very very easy for a person
to come
after Ramadan has finished,
and the shaytan
gets very very close to him, and the
whispers of the shaytan, they overwhelmed him.
As this is the time also
that the shayateen
that were locked up in the month of
Ramadan, as the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
told us.
That when the month of Ramadan comes, the
shayateen are locked up. The doors of Jannah
are swung open, and the doors of hellfire
are slammed shut.
These are the times now when the shayateen,
They tend to
take their paths again into trying to disrupt
the Muslim Inn. Brothers and sisters, you find
that in the month of Ramadan, 2 kinds
of people.
The first type the first type of person,
you find that when the month of Ramadan
comes, he tries to use the month of
Ramadan as a stepping stone. So maybe go
back to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to try
and change himself. And this person is sincere
in trying to actually change
how he is, and to get closer to
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
It would be totally wrong for this
person that we look down at him, and
we say
that this person only practice in the month
of Ramadan.
We don't know that if this person is
trying to maybe get closer to Allah and
to change his life in this blessed month,
when the grace and the mercy of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala is apparent. Then you find
the second person, and this is what I
wanna speak about today.
The kind of mentality he comes with, that
he's only gonna practice in the month of
Ramadan.
And then as soon as Ramadan finishes,
he's gonna go back to his filthy ways,
whether he was to maybe not pray the
salat,
not to worship Allah
Carry on doing disobediences
to Allah
and etcetera.
This is the kind of person that we
want
to give
advice to, and maybe notify
in that which Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says
in the Quran.
And it's very very important brothers and sisters
that we don't have this kind of mentality.
This dangerous mentality
that could lead to a person be destructed.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
he tells us in the Quran
about those people that know.
About those people that know.
They know that which is wrong and right.
They know
that they should not be disobeying Allah
That they shouldn't be on the day of
Eid, going to
or going to the night clubs,
or going back to their girlfriends, or whatever
they're doing.
Maybe in the month of Ramadan they left
the off, and then as soon as Ramadan
goes, they go back to disobeying Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala. Brothers and sisters, this is not
part time Al Islam.
Al Islam is something that is full time
for a person to be doing on a
regular basis. Look what Allah
says about certain people. And we just wanna
mention a few ayaat. So a person takes
heed, and he's not absent minded as soon
as Ramadan finishes.
Allah
tells us in
about those people that are turned away, when
the things have been made clear to him.
Allah says,
The one that turns away.
The one that turns away.
From the things that have been made clear
to
him,
This person will have a depressive life. And
on
he will become,
or he will come to Allah
while he's blind.
This person will come while he's blind, simply
because he turned away from Allah
Knowingly,
about the things that were totally wrong, and
he went back.
How many Muslims do we find today? This
is the day when you find that the
shisha bars are filled with the Muslimen. Our
own brothers and sisters, we're not trying to
push anyone down to speak negatively about him,
but this is the reality.
We were all in the stages of youth.
We know what takes place.
The night clubs are filled with Muslims. There
may be more Muslims in the night clubs,
especially on a Friday night, than the Kuffar.
This is used as a day of celebration.
But is there a celebration
that is considered to be by Allah
correct type of celebration? Or is there a
type which is totally haram?
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala then says,
about this individual. Look what he's gonna say.
Oh, Allah. Why have you brought me blind?
And I used to be in this dunya,
someone that was able to see.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala then
says,
The proofs and evidences came to you. You
knew that which was wrong and which was
right.
Just like we have in this kind of
scenario.
We stay away from it in the month
of Ramadan because we know it is wrong.
And then as soon as Ramadan finishes,
we go back to
our filthy bad ways.
Just like you left off Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala at that time,
today you're gonna be left off.
Brothers and sisters, it's important that we take
heed. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us in
another ayah.
And we will flip their mouth,
and also their eyes.
Something they used to see as to be
correct.
They are going to be swimming in blindness.
Why? Because they turned away. They begin to
follow their desires.
And then they become enslaved to it.
As the prophet
told us,
3 things that will distract a person. From
the things that he mentioned,
When a person becomes enslaved to his desire.
Prophets and sisters, take heed.
Do not be from those that the people
speak about. The Prophet
said to
us, You are the witnesses of the people
upon the earth.
Do not be from those that had this
kind of mentality. And then he came on
the day of Eid.
And he done Maasi,
thinking that Ramadan is over. And Allah
takes your soul at that very moment.
There's many many examples
that we hear about.
Of how people that one time, that one
time he did something,
and he died in that very moment. Imagine
a person is jumping up and down in
the club, or he's gone back to his
cigarettes, or his alcohol.
And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala takes his hold
there and then.
And he dies while he has Masiyyah,
amongst
himself. Or he's doing something haram.
Or he's thinking there's a khalas. Ramadan is
over. Let me carry on speaking about that
guy. Let me carry on backbiting.
Just very briefly,
and very very quickly,
another important thing brothers and sisters that we
need to think about is the issue of
complacency.
Being complacent
to which we already have.
Someone
might come, and he might might say to
himself after the shaitans whispered in his ear,
I've stood up on the laylatul Qadr,
where the prophet said,
There's a day in this month that has
come to you that is better than a
1000 months. Someone might think to himself, I
stood.
I stood
on Laylatul Qadr, which is equivalent to 84
months.
84 years, sorry. A 1000 months.
And think to himself, Halas, I'm sorted for
the rest of the year. I don't need
to do much.
I've been practicing. It's equivalent to a 1000
months. I'm sorted for maybe another few years.
Brothers and sisters, this is also another whisper
from the shaitaan. Another doubt that the shaitaan
brings to the people.
Rather the Sahaba, the prophet sallallahu alaihi was
saying, they were on their toes.
The thing of complacency wasn't there. Rather, they
used to be fearful from themselves.
Brothers and sisters, the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam said about.
Never does the shaitan take a road, except
that he takes road other than the road
that you take. This is the Umar ibn
Khattab. The shaitan needs to be scared of
him. And at the same time, he fears
for himself.
He fears for himself.
He goes to Qudayf ibn al Yamani. Qudayf
ibn al Yamani was from those who knew
the secrets of the Prophet
There was a time where the Prophet disclosed
some information to him. He told him,
Umar ibn Khattab goes running to the days,
and he says to him, did the prophet
mention
me from amongst the
He wasn't complacent. He never said khalas. I'm
the Amirul Mumineen. I'm one of the best
of the sahaba khalas. I'm suited.
Rather they stayed on their toes. There's another
narration. When?
Umr ibn al Khattah gave adirham. He gave
adirham.
His son said
to
him, May Allah
accept from your father.
So Umar ibn Khattab said, if only I
knew that Allah
accepted 1, 1,
one said star, it would have been beloved
to me than anything in this dunya.
This is Umar ibn Khattab. Brothers and sisters,
do not become complacent.
Faith for your ending
of how you might end. Ask Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala for tabbat, for hidayah. This is
what the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam used
to do. None of us are safe. You
might see ourselves in the masajid today, tomorrow
we go out and we become deviated.
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said,
and I'm gonna conclude by this.
That the hearts the hearts are between 2
fingers of the fingers of Allah
If he wishes,
he will divert it away to becoming misguided.
And if Allah
wills, he will guide it. This is the
Prophet
begging Allah
If you want any fitna for me, then
take me
while I am not corrupted or infatuated.
How can we be safe when Ibrahim alaihis
salatu wa sallam, imamat tawhid,
is making dua to Allah
The individual, the Prophet that destroyed the Islam,
broke it.
He's making dua to Allah
Oh Allah, prevent me. Prevent me and my
offspring from worshiping the Islam.
Brothers and
sisters, take heed, and do not be from
those who just use Ramadan
as if it is some sort of way
that we just go past,
and we don't actually
use it as a stepping stone to change.
This is not a sincere
Tawba. They have a person who wants to
just carry on with his bad ways after
the month of Ramadan. This is not a
sincere Tawba. Rather, this is
this is playing around with the region of
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to make
this Eid a very blessed Eid, and to
keep us firm, to make us from those
that are firm until they meet Allah
May
Allah
accept from us and also yourselves.
The
good actions.
