There is none worthy of worship except Allah.
Praise be to Allah.
We praise Him, ask His help, and ask
His forgiveness.
And we seek refuge in Allah from the
evils of our souls and from the evils
of our deeds.
Whomsoever Allah guides, none can misguide him.
And whosoever He leads astray, none can guide
him.
And I bear witness that there is none
worthy of worship except Allah.
And I bear witness that Muhammad is His
servant and Messenger.
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
As for some, some
of my forefathers walked on this land, lived
in this place.
I come here as a Muslim.
And I'm here standing on this minbar, in
this masjid, with a great amount of a
tizaz, an iftikhar, being proud.
Being proud because of the auspicious nature of
the day.
The best day during the course of your
life, the course of the week, in which
the sun comes up, the best day is
the day of Friday.
It's the day that Allah created our father
Adam.
It's the day that Allah put Adam in
the Jannah.
It's the day that Adam was expelled from
the Jannah.
And it's the day that Yom Kiyamah is
going to come.
So it's the best day in the life
of a Muslim.
In addition to that, in addition to being
the best day, these days, that the ten
days of Dhul Hijjah, as he says, and
I'm sure you have all heard for the
last few days, There
are no days in your lifetime, in this
dunya, that the deeds that are done in
these days are more beloved to Allah than
these days right now.
Today is that first day.
I stand before you with irritated eyes as
a proud Muslim.
Because we're living in a time where, and
I'm not putting anybody down, I'm just saying
how it is.
Our leadership as Muslims, Imams, our communities, we
have this inferiority complex.
We don't realize that we have the deen
that's the truth.
You just have to know your deen, know
the reality, and don't be afraid and deal
with people.
So when they blow on us and they
put pressure on us and they say, Do
you condemn October the 7th?
You don't have to get on your back
foot and start apologizing.
Do you condemn what you've been doing to
these people for the last 70 years?
Do you condemn, don't put me on the
defensive.
I stand here before you people proud to
be a Muslim.
And to say what I have to say
to you today.
He told us, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, Inna ahabbal
biladi ilallah masajiduha wa abghab al biladi ilallah
aswaquha The most beloved places to Allah in
the dunya are these masjids.
And the most hated places are the market
places.
And that's because the masjid makes you remember
why you were created.
The masjid makes you remember Allah.
You go to the market place, people are
lying.
People are swearing by other than Allah.
People are cheating.
A lot of evil things are taking place.
So here we are, the best day of
the week.
Doing the best 10 days of the year.
And we are in the best place.
The one that's loved most by Allah.
So it's only appropriate for me to talk
to you about the single most important thing
in Islam.
And what's the single most important thing?
It's what he says, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
As-salat khairul mawdu.
The prayer is the best thing that you
can do.
There is no action in this dunya, in
your life, that you can do that's more
important and better than prayer.
The only thing that's better than prayer is
what you believe in.
You pray all day.
But if you don't make, if you make
shirk with Allah, whether it's shirk al-asghar,
or you slaughter for other than Allah, you
are free for other than Allah.
You pray all you want to pray.
That prayer will be thrown back at you.
But in terms of the actions, prayer is
more important than any other action in Islam.
We have parents who are here.
Bir al-walideen is important.
The hijab is important.
Ad-dawul Allah is important.
Giving sadaqa is important.
Hajj is important.
All of that is important.
But the one single thing that you do
with your limbs, nothing trumps it, nothing is
above it, is this prayer.
You put your finger, ya Abdullah, on the
Muslim world today, you put your finger on
the Arab world today, wherever Muslims are, you
pick that finger up and it is bleeding,
dripping blood, fold up, our lives, our situation.
The Zionists are not the main reason behind
that.
The white man is not the main reason
behind that.
The main reason of that fold and that
blood is the position of prayer with our
ummah today.
The vast majority, I don't know you, but
we're brothers.
So bear with me.
Innamal mu'minuna ikhwa.
I am not making ta'in or tanqis
of anybody.
I'm just calling a spade a spade.
I don't know most of you, most of
you, but I will say wallahi billahi tallahi.
Everybody here knows people who don't pray and
they're Muslims.
Everybody here knows his mother, his father's auntie,
his sister's brother, his children.
The mother and father pray, but the children
don't pray.
The wife prays, the husband doesn't pray.
Our co-workers don't pray.
The yahud are not the biggest problem.
They're a challenge.
They're from the tahadiyat that we have to
deal with.
The big issue is our ummah doesn't pray.
Can you imagine, Yasir, the month of Ramadan,
a person fasts and he doesn't pray.
He doesn't pray.
We say to you, Yasir, what kind of
fast is that?
Did you not know that the Nabi of
Islam, al-Mustafa al-Mukhtar, sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, told the people, inna awwala ma yuhasabu
alayhi al-'abdu min a'malihi yawm al-qiyamah salatuhu.
The very first thing Allah is going to
ask you and you and you and you
about yawm al-qiyamah.
You'll be asked about birr walidin, where you
get your money from.
You'll be asked about riba.
You'll be asked about all of that stuff.
But the very first thing you're going to
be asked about is your prayer.
If your prayer was right and exact, the
rest of your deeds will be right and
exact.
If your prayers were lacking and wanting, then
the rest of your deeds are going to
be wanting and lacking.
Even the people who pray today.
There was a time when he or she
didn't pray.
A large portion of his life, he was
15, 16, 17.
He's praying now alhamdulillah.
But there's a large portion of his life,
he didn't pray and it was normal.
And he forgot that now while he's praying,
he has to keep making tawbah and istighfar.
He can't forget about the fact that you
spent 10, 15 years of your life and
you were not praying.
Today was the best salah in al-Islam.
The best prayer that you can make during
the course of the week is the fajr
prayer in the masjid.
There are people who didn't even pray fajr
today.
They didn't make it up neither.
And then there are a lot of people
who prayed it late.
The adah is I'll pray it late.
Listen to what I'm telling you.
As it relates to the importance of prayer,
there's a lot that can be said.
But put on the side those who don't
pray.
Wa kathiru ma'hum.
Too many.
Put your finger on the Muslim map today.
Put your finger there.
Your son and my son.
Your daughter and my daughter.
If we're not watching those kids praying, they
won't pray.
And I tell you this.
Tell you for free.
If you have a child who the salah
time comes, and they get up, and they
get off of that computer, and they go
and make wudu on their own, and they
just pray, you need to make sajdah to
shukr to Allah.
Because that's not the norm.
You have a special kid.
So give him a break.
Give her a break.
Because the vast majority of these kids don't
have salah on their mind.
But can we blame them?
That's part of the tarbiyah that they receive.
That our ummah doesn't put emphasis on this
prayer.
Someone wants to marry my daughter, I want
to know, who do you hang out with?
What family do you come from?
What job do you have?
And rightly so.
Someone who's LGBT comes to marry my daughter,
I'm going to say, no way, Jose.
No way.
It would never happen.
But I say to you again, وَالَّذِي بَعْثَ
مُحَمَّدٍ بِالْحَقِّ Wallahi, being LGBT is a greater
sin than not praying.
Because being LGBT is a kabira from the
Kabbalah.
But not praying is kufrun billah.
It's an action of kufr.
قَالَ صَلَى اللَّهُ عَنِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْأَهْدُ الَّذِي بَيْنَنَا
وَبَيْنَهُمَا الصَّلَاةُ مَن تَرَكَهَا فَقَدْ كَفَرْ The difference
between us and them.
Who is them?
Jews, Christians, Sikhs, agnostics, atheists, everybody other than
us.
The difference between us and them is the
prayer.
Whoever doesn't do it has disbelieved.
It's an action of kufrun billah.
But the tasawwur that we have, our ummah,
you will never ever, ever, ever marry my
daughter or my waliya because you drink hummus,
rightly so.
Because you're gay, rightly so.
But he doesn't pray.
And that is a dhamm, that is a
dhamm.
Put aside the people who don't pray.
Let us look at those who do pray.
Let us look at those who do pray.
Do we pray the way that the Prophet
prayed sallallahu alayhi wa sallam?
A new revert comes into Islam and he
comes into this masjid and he wants to
know his religion.
He'll get all kind of flavors of what
Islam is.
Here's one cursing Abu Bakr.
No more.
Here's one over here.
He wants to do something else.
One over here.
And then when he looks at their prayer,
everybody's doing something different.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam got on
his minbar and all the companions were sitting
there, radiyallahu anhum ajmain, and he prayed.
And they watched him.
After finished praying, he got back on the
minbar and he said to the people, صلوا
كما رأيتموني أصلي Pray the way you just
saw me praying.
You'll be hard-pressed to get someone, tell
me Abdullah, show me the mechanics of the
salat of the Nabi of Islam sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam.
When did he do raf al-yadeen?
Where did he place his hands?
How did he go into sajdah?
What did he do?
No.
We're praying the prayer of taqlid.
That's what I saw my mother doing.
That's what I saw my father doing.
That's what they do in my village.
The man came into the masjid sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam and he did what the Prophet
told us to do sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
إذا دخل أحدكم المسجد فلا يجلس حتى يصلي
ركعتين If any of you enter into the
masjid, don't sit down until you pray two
rakat.
تهيئة إلى المسجد That's from the haqq.
I didn't say the haqq.
From the haqq of the masjid before you
sit down, you should pray.
He was giving the khutbah.
A man came in and sat down.
He stopped the khutbah.
He said, أسليت ركعتين يا سليك Hey, Suleik,
did you pray two rakat?
He said, no, ya Rasulallah.
He said, get up, pray, and make it
quick.
How many people today that came into the
masjid and they just sat down?
Put your finger, ya Abdullah, ya Muttallah, on
the mat.
We get before you on these microphones and
bullhorns and we say things.
We say things.
But a lot of times, it's just empty
slogans.
Look, the man came in.
He prayed two rakat.
No discipline.
He was very quick.
After finishing, he went.
Rasulallah was sitting, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
He said, السلام عليكم يا رسول الله He
said, وعليكم السلام يا رسول الله ارجع فصلي
فانا كلمت صلي Go back and pray because
you didn't pray.
He went back.
He prayed without any discipline.
That's a lot of many people.
That's a lot of many, many, many people.
I prayed.
He came back.
السلام عليكم يا رسول الله وعليكم السلام يا
رسول الله Go back and pray.
You didn't pray.
He went back a second time.
A third time.
Go back and pray.
You didn't pray.
The man was humble.
He wasn't like many of the Muslims.
When you advise him with something that is
important, he takes it personally.
He doesn't like you.
He's just a messenger, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
وما على الرسول إلا البلاغ المبين It's his
job just to explain the message.
That man was humble.
He said, يا رسول الله This is what
I know.
Teach me.
He told the man, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
If you want to pray, then make a
good wudu.
A good wudu is not wasting the water
the way we waste the water.
And we use all that water, but we
never give sadaqa to the masjid.
The users, all that water that we use
and people in Palestine, and we have the
nerve to say, the Yahud, the Yahud.
نعم يا أخي The Yahud, the Yahud.
But you know how much water we're wasting?
Make a good wudu.
What's the good wudu?
That you make sure that it hits all
the parts without wasting.
And then after that, say the qibla.
Then after that, say allahu akbar.
Then after that, read what's easy.
And he went through the whole prayer.
He went through the whole prayer.
I say to a lot of people, يا
أخي Go back and pray.
You didn't pray.
Sister, go back and wear hijab.
You're not wearing hijab.
يا أخي Go back and make umrah.
You didn't make umrah, يا أخي Go back
and perform hajj.
You didn't perform hajj.
And that is how it is.
هلم جرى That's how it is.
The companion on the day of Eid al
-Adha, on his own ijtihad, he decided to
slaughter before the Salat al-Eid.
It's a day of celebration.
A day of atr and a day of
shurub.
Celebration.
He said, I'm going to slaughter the animal
and eat the animal before the prayer.
And he did that.
He went to the prophet صلى الله عليه
وسلم.
Rasulullah finished the Salat.
He told the people, anyone who pray the
prayer that we just made, and they're going
to slaughter after the prayer like we're going
to slaughter, it's the right thing.
The man said, يا رسول الله I slaughtered
before the prayer.
I slaughtered.
Because I thought it was the Eid and
I wanted to eat the food.
He told that man صلى الله عليه وسلم
لحمك شاتك شات لحم That animal you slaughtered,
it's just meat.
It's not the udhia.
It wasn't right.
It wasn't done at the right time.
You can't pray Salat al-Dhuhr at fajr
time and say I pray Salat al-Dhuhr.
You're doing it the wrong way.
You can't pray if your aura is not
covered up.
You can't pray there are muqaddimah you have
to have.
But my religion is the religion of my
forefathers.
The same kalam and the same hujjah of
Abu Lahab and Abu Jahl and Umayyad Abu
Khalaf and the rest of those criminals.
My religion is that religion.
The religion of kalam.
This is the religion of kalam.
As it relates to the prayer of Islam,
Ummat al-Islam.
The blueprint for success is what those companions
showed us was the religion.
What was the religion with them and back
then is going to be the religion today
and Yom Kippur.
Hazari, hazari.
Beware, beware.
Don't be on the religion where the companions
didn't do that.
I'm a revert and I tell every revert
here.
I tell every youngster who is nasty.
Everyone wants to know your religion.
Learn your religion and look what the companions
did.
Don't look at what the imam is doing
necessarily your mother or your father.
Not to put anyone down.
You won't go astray with the companions.
They're the blueprint for success.
Let me tell you something about those companions
and they are clear.
One of the students of the companions his
name is Abdullah ibn al-Shaqiq al-Uqayri.
Go back and fact check this stuff.
Go back and look it up.
Abdullah ibn al-Shaqiq al-Uqayri from the
tabi'een taught by the companions.
قال ما كان أصحاب النبي صلى الله عليه
وسلم يرون شيء من الأعمال تركه كفر غير
الصلاة The companions of the Nabi صلى الله
عليه وسلم did not see the abandonment of
any action as kufr other than prayer.
If the companions saw a man eating at
12 o'clock noon in the month of
Ramadan they said لعله ربما عسى يمكن maybe
this, maybe that maybe he's sick maybe he's
a traveler If the companions went to make
the jihad the jihad that I don't apologize
about anything in this religion but it's the
jihad of Islam not the facade of the
juhalah It's so bad with us now The
Islamophobia that we receive from those people got
us saying you can't even say jihad anymore
We believe in jihad but the right jihad
It has its time It has its place
It has its ahkam It has its adab
It has its people Not no kalam foda
Kalam fadi You don't even pray man and
you're talking about jihad You don't even pray
man Make jihad the nafs and pray Those
companions if they went out to the jihad
and they came back The jihad, the jihad
Ya Rasulallah These days, these 10 days What
about jihad?
If someone prays in these 10 days sadaqa
in these 10 days That's better than jihad?
Outside of these 10 days?
Why did they say that?
Because they were men Because what jihad meant
to them He said even jihad giving sadaqa
these days is better than that Making zikr
is better than that Coming to the masjid
is better than that Except the one who
made jihad and he got the shahada If
they came back and they saw the man
didn't go with them They said Maybe Maybe
he has to take care of his waleen
Maybe he didn't have a horse or camel
Maybe the man was sick They made excuses
If they saw a lady She didn't have
hijab Like some of our wives Some of
our daughters The yahoo, the yahoo The zionist,
the zionist But that zionist is wearing his
hat And that zionist, he has his curls
He got his suit And in the supermarket
My wife is standing there With all of
her mahasen No ghairah I'm not putting anybody
down I'm saying ummah to Islam Isn't it
time of the kalam kathir The proof is
in the pudding My wife, my sister, my
daughter Standing in front of the zionist And
he's just looking at the mahasen of my
wife Where's the ghairah?
Where's that at?
If those companions saw that lady Without hijab
You know what they said?
Maybe she's an ummah The slave doesn't have
to wear hijab She's a slave They didn't
say she's a kathir But if those companions
knew That a person didn't pray Those companions
say he's a kathir He's a munafik Now
my question, ummah to Islam Question to you,
question Question is What do you think Abu
Bakr ibn Uthman, Ali, Ukasha, Bilal, Abdurrahman ibn
A'ud Sa'd ibn Abi Waqas radiyallahu anhu
They're the awliya of Allah The only human
beings better than them Are the prophets and
the messengers Salawatullahi wa salamu alayhim What do
you think Would be their opinion Concerning your
son, your daughter, your mother, your wife What
do you think their opinion would be concerning
you?
If they knew someone didn't pray They said
he's a kathir He's a munafik وَإِذَا قَامُوا
لَلصَّلَاةِ قَامُوا تُسَالَىٰ يُرَآءُونَ النَّاسَ وَلَا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ
إِلَّا قَلِيلًا Ya akhi, don't be upset with
me Go back and pray, you didn't pray
That man didn't stomp his feet And have
a meltdown, start crying Ya Rasulullah, you're messing
with me You're picking with me He humbled
himself Get yourself together Get yourself together It's
the munafikun who They stand up for prayer
And when they stand up They only stand
up to be seen by people If the
people pray, he'll pray But if the people
are not there He won't pray And when
he prays He prays in a way where
he doesn't even remember Allah It's not a
prayer His head is all over the place
His head is all over the place Allah
can be said inshallah But we'll finish this
in the evening But I want to share
something Before I get off this minbar It's
really important The biggest fitna that Allah created
for Everybody here is a dajjal Even those
who pray Someone in this masjid Is the
best Muslim And Allah knows who he is
He's the best Muslim When the dajjal comes
His Islam is going to be under threat
Everybody here Everybody here Because the dajjal will
have these things with him Where He will
easily trick people Who have no deen No
deen Their deen is hocus pocus Khurafat Shirkiyat
The Nabi never died The Nabi is Hazim
Nazim The Nabi knows the ilm al ghayb
Hocus pocus man That's like the Nasara saying
What they say about Isa And what the
yahoo say That they are the sha'abullah
al mukhtar Kalam fariq ya akhi It's just
kalam He said that the dajjal Will be
on this earth For 40 days ya Abdullah
40 days The first day Will be like
one year The second day will be like
one month The third day Will be like
one week And then the subsequent 37 days
Will be like these days You know not
a single Companion made itirad Not a single
companion said I can't get my head around
that I don't understand that Not a single
one Nor did a single one come with
any falsafah Philosophy from greeks Aristotle and then
knuckleheads Not a single one You know what
the companion said Ya Rasulullah Kayfanusalli Ya Rasulullah
Ya Rasulullah if we are living when the
dajjal come How do we pray How do
we pray if the first day Is like
a year How do I figure that out
Second day is like a month How He
told them Do your best and try to
figure it out Why did they say that
Because part of the DNA of the muslim
is He has to pray man He is
a student in the university He has to
pray Student in the high school He has
to pray You got a job you got
to pray Man doesn't come to salatul jumah
ever Because of his job Are you serious
Al yahood al yahood Naam Al yahood al
yahood The zionist But that ain't the biggest
problem The biggest problem with us is internal
We change our condition Allah azawajal will change
it Our state I
know
it's
128 But I'm asking you by Allah Just
give me two minutes Just give me two
minutes Amar al radiyallah Who was about to
pray salatul fajr During the khilafah There was
a man A non muslim that he had
beef with I don't have time going through
the whole story He had beef with that
man That man spent days Sharpening up his
sword Sharpening up his knife Two prong Put
it overnight in poison He was obsessed I'm
going to get him When he went to
kill the emir It was dark Because he
was a chump He wasn't brave He wouldn't
meet him face to face And that's how
the people don't have iman That's how they
are They kill you from far away with
drone missiles They won't meet you face to
face They get you with kalam But come
and meet us man And be a man
The man went He stabbed Amar And he
made the thing go back and forth like
that Amar said the dog has killed me
And he fell down What did the companions
do Did they stop praying and call the
ambulance Did they call the ambulance No Abdurrahman
bin Auf One of the ten promised jannah
Who used to spend his money for islam
Not some kalam And when I say Abdurrahman
bin Auf You better understand Abdurrahman bin Auf
had Bill Gates money That man was rich
Helped his community He stepped forward, shortened the
prayer After shortening the prayer But before they
took him The man ran out and started
stabbing people in the line A number of
people died They took the immutable meaning to
his house And They gave him some milk
When he drank that milk and it came
out of his intestines The Arabs They know
medicine man They know medicine They say he's
going to die Don't let him go to
sleep Don't let him lose consciousness He kept
losing consciousness They would wake him up He
lost consciousness Abdurrahman bin Abbas came You know
what his job was One of his jobs
was To tell Amar It's time for salat
now When would he do that He would
do that the time it took To read
100 ayat The immutable meaning He didn't wait
until the time to pray He would tell
him that early 100 ayat He's been doing
that 10 years Every day, every day So
it became a part of Amar It's in
his DNA It's in his self, in his
consciousness Abdurrahman bin Abbas said I'll know where
to wake him up He said Time to
make salat Amar opened up his eyes And
he said I
swear by Allah There's no iman for the
one Who doesn't pray There's something wrong with
your iman I don't stand here making takfir
Of anybody, no I'm even of the opinion
that If you leave prayer You know, to
castle And I don't even say you're a
kafir I say that that is an issue
of kufr Action of kufr But you know
there's scholars who say If you don't pray,
you're a kafir How am I going to
take that position today If I take that
position A large portion of the Muslims will
be kufar I can't think like that I'm
not going to think like that Ummah to
Islam Let us come back to our religion
The correct aqidah First and foremost And holding
on to this prayer Your wife has to
pray, your children have to pray You have

Rabbil Alamin In the name of Allah, the
Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Master of the Day of Judgment.
It is You we worship and You we
ask for help.
Guide us to the straight path.
The path of those on whom You have
bestowed Your Grace, those who have not incurred
Your wrath, nor those who have gone astray.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious,
the Most Merciful.
I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed
Satan.
