If we were to look at
the Quran and the Sunnah,
we will find that both of those sources are replete with an abundant amount of verses and a hadith
that tell us about the virtues of crying as a result of the fear of Allah azza wa jal
Meeny, meeny, I add in a hadith
that clearly indicate to the Muslim
that there are a lot of virtues and a lot of rewards for the person who as a Muslim, he finds himself crying,
crying as a result of desiring what Allah has prepared and stored for the believers the punishment of Allah the anger of Allah. There too many examples Quran and the Sunnah
prophets Allah Allah, what do you send him describe some people and he said that there are some people with their heart so like a either to pull a tool or with tyre
their hearts that like the hearts of birds, meaning that they are very fief, very light. And it's easy for them to cry. It's easy for them to be impacted. He looks at his situation, and he has a lot to cry about. So he cries as a result of that.
He told us in that hadith, there are seven people will be shaded under allah shade on the day in which there will be no shade, which is a tremendous reward. You only can do big things to get that reward. You're not going to be a person from the riffraff and the miscreants getting that tremendous reward being shaded. Under Allah's throne. yomo Kiana, you gotta be doing some big stuff. One of those seven people is the person who he cried as a result of the fee of Allah. It's not something
everybody can do.
As for the Quran, many examples, Allah told us about some of the non Muslims of Al Kitab non Muslims, non Muslims, not people from the Companions Ridwan, Will ye I knew they were non Muslims, from the hood and then NESARA
during the time of the prophets, Allah Allah who it was setting them and even Now up until now and after today, they're going to come people from those groups that Allah described in the Quran, Tara you know whom toughie, do minute don't remember out of a minute.
You Hakuna Rob bene mana fuck Tubingen, ma che he did. He told the story of those who keytab and he said from them, you will see their eyes shedding tears as a result of what they know is from the truth from the Lord. So they say Oh my Lord, we believe so record us and write us down. As those people who bear witness non Muslims.
We're in the month of Ramadan right now, and some of us have not cried. And we have a lot to cry about. As the Prophet says, salallahu Salam if you people knew what I know, you will laugh less and you'll cry more. The person in the blessed month of Ramadan is on social network social media, looking at videos of people laughing and playing around watching movies of some of the famous comedians from the Arabs, famous comedians from our culture from America from here from the Asian
culture from Africans, you know, the Joker's the Joker's who are from the handiwork in the unsought of a sheep barn in the month of Ramadan. So we find it difficult to cry hasn't cried yet, and half of Ramadan is almost gone is the 14th day of fasting.
And it's as if some of us are sure that the Ramadan that we're doing it has been accepted. And we don't consider just one issue this one issue. When the Prophet used to break his fast some of the law what he was sending me taught us from his sunnah is to say they have done what to little rope with 30 little edge little insha Allah. The thirst has dissipated it got in when we eat in our days at that event and we're drinking our water
The thirst of today is left us. And our veins have become moist because we broke out fast. And the reward has been established in sha Allah. Because you don't know at the end of each and every day when you make that dua, and you get the two happinesses, that the Prophet talked about SallAllahu Sallam a happiness as a result of breaking it fast and is over, and then a happiness yomo piano, when you make that dua, No one here can say for sure. My reward has been established today. Maybe I
fast this whole day, half of the month, the whole month, and I didn't get anything from the reward because of something that I'm doing something that I'm not doing, or a plethora of things that I'm doing or plethora of things that I'm not doing with debit edge or in sha Allah. So the people don't cry.
If we looked at our NABI SallAllahu, ala he was sending them throughout the duration of his life. He cried for a lot of reasons, not 1-234-567-8910 a lot of reasons. And most of the reasons that he cried for not all of them, because he cried for issues that were only procure to him, the Netmums that Allah bestowed upon him, those are not present anymore. But the vast majority of reasons why he cried, they're in our lives right now. And we have every reason to cry over those issues, following
his sunnah and also because his natural natural is the nature's the way Allah has created the people so not to life living alone in Kabul, is the Sunnah of Allah that went with the people before it's natural. And if you're not doing it, if we're not doing it, there is something wrong.
He used to cry, have a Rama and his ummah Rama. Murthy he, part of being a Muslim got to have Rama.
The companion on meridional hours Ravi Allah and who said
they were sitting with the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he started reading the Quran Surah Ibrahim. When Allah told us the story about Ibrahim and Ibrahim said to Allah azza wa jal Rob be in Hoonah, Atlanta, Kathira, Mina, Nas, oh my lord, Oh Allah, these idols that the people are worshipping my time, these idols they have caused a lot of people to go astray. Ibrahim was saying that to his Lord, telling his Lord about the reality of the condition of his people that Allah knows best about.
And then he read to them what he said bloomery him said another also love and maybe
he's in the Quran he mentioned into availible home for inner home, Reba Dukkha were interfit la home for in NACA and Tila Aziz will Hearken, O Allah, if you punish my community, they are your service, it's up to you. And if you forgive them, then you are definitely a disease capable and the hacking all wise. When the Prophet read those I add to the people SallAllahu wasallam. He raised his hand and he said, Allahu Allah Almighty Almighty, oh my lord, my community, my community.
So we as Muslims, look at our community, this OMA Tillis lamb. We look internationally, we look nationally, we look locally. We look right here in this area right here. A woman is in trouble.
Our man has problems.
We see the Arabs of our Ummah as an example and don't become fixated with the Arabs and the problem of Qatar. We see some of the leading Arab communities among part of our Ummah, being able to unite against their brother,
but not being able to unite against our common enemy. I don't have to mention the common enemy. Everybody here we lived all of our Islam knowing the common enemy. I don't have to mention to you the name is so well known, but we can't unite. How are we going to deal with them?
These issues that are going on in our country right now with this bomb and that bombing Allah save us from this fitna. The Muslims become very ready and willing to stand in solidarity with the non Muslims and that's okay. We're going to be tolerant with the non Muslims and that's okay. But when it comes to being tolerant with your brother, who doesn't see it the way you see it, he's not from your tribe. He's not from your masjid, no tolerance. That's our ummah.
But where is the crying? We were praying for taraweeh and other than that, where is all of that crime?
One of the reasons that cause the prophet to crying SallAllahu it was sell them from
These many reasons is if it comes companion, whether it was there was relative or regular companion, a member of the community, if they became sick, if they died, if they were buried, he would cry sallallahu alayhi wa it will sell them and there was so many examples. If they became sick, like his boy Ibrahim's getting sick. His companion side they've been Obeida was sick, many cases, he would go visit that person, and he would cry. He took his boy Sallalahu It was Saturday. And he smelled his
boy and he hugged his boy, man, even if he came in. He said we saw him doing that. smoked his son and he held his son and squeezed his son and he started crying and the people left.
I'm gonna commandment I would say yeah, Rasul Allah, you're crying.
And they left. He came back in, they came back in and the boy had died because he was struggling to live up to that man, but I would say Ya rasool Allah, you're crying. He said, Yes, the I shed tears and the heart it becomes sad. But we only say that which pleases our Lord. Sick people side they've been so bad that his friend from his community, his brain starts to bleed his brain starts to bleed. He gets news of this brother friend in the hospital, no crying, no issues, no problem.
He sallallahu alayhi wa sallam heard the news of the death of his daughter killed foon Zeynep. He crying profusely he cried. His uncle Hamza Jaffa ibn Abi Taalib. All of them were people who were his relatives. But it didn't start there. They didn't know fabric died, he cried Salah what he was saying to my Doula
people from his community, he cried sallallahu alayhi wa Ana and he was selling them without the Allah and
those reasons are present with us. relatives who have died. Close friends were dying. People we know who are sick people from our community in Iraq, the orphans who are there in Syria. All of this drama that Muslims have to deal with in the month of Ramadan and outside of the month of Ramadan. But there are no tears coming from our Ummah during the month of Ramadan.
For problems so problem, the person who sits there, he has to say what has happened to me
is what happened to Benny in surah. Il the same thing that's happened to many of us, Allah will Tata mentioned
pollute the human body that a cafe he killed, he jority assured the car sweeten their hearts became hard became hard after that became like rocks even worse than rocks even harder. Because of the things they used to do.
Those of us who have been to some of the beautiful places in this world, like
in Canada, they have the Niagara Falls, they call it one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Lake Victoria over there in Africa over there. Beautiful places. We go and we look at it we marvel at what we're seeing. And Benny Adams says, Wow, Whoa, look at this. Oh snap. This is real nice. When in fact it's an ayat. He's an ayat that even the rock shares tears as a result of the fee of Allah azza wa jal in the Command of Allah. But the person of the month of Ramadan half of it is gone. He
didn't cry once, once. Once, not one time, he has to look retros into himself, look within himself introspectively and say, Have I been afflicted with a disease of my heart, one of the worst disease
ficolo Be him Mara goon facade the hula hula Allah and their hearts there is a disease and Allah increase the disease many disease, disease of arrogance, the disease of fear, the disease of lists wise, the disease of doubt, many diseases, but one of the worst disease is to have a heart that is classy, a heart that is rough and tough,
rough and tough. A heart that has no Rama when the NABI Salah Salem was asked about
your crying, he said yes, so Rama, Rama when that Bedouin saw him kissing Hassan and Hussein, the Bedouin said, we don't kiss our children. The Prophet said to that man salAllahu alayhi wa sallam our umbilical Leca and Nezzer Allah who may be Kurama I can't help it. That Allah to Rama out of your heart, that you don't have Rama for your children. You don't have Rama for the week, the press. You don't have Rama but you don't have Robin in your heart. You can look at a person during the
month of Ramadan
On and still not give sedans and still looking with googly eyes like you're crazy. You're crazy and he's crazy. You can't say to yourself, hey, the doing is Ramadan. Let me relax myself and pump my brakes because this thing is real and ain't no joke. It ain't no joke. From the reasons why he cried SallAllahu it was sending them and they're present right now with us is the sloth and the recitation of the Quran.
The companion Abdullah ibn Shahir. He said I came to the Prophet while He was praying sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for cement to low as zero margin. I heard from him what he called a zero and Laura Jin. The Azir and Maura gel is the sound that sounds like this
doing a slot doing his prick, the Companions used to stand behind him and they can hear that Salah who it was sent during the prayer during the recitation of the Quran, Abdullah in Masaru said that the NABI said in the famous Hadith SallAllahu wasallam read Riri SHAN I read it to you, your syllables are revealed upon you. I love to hear from other than me. I'm delighted in my school, not in tarawih not in Kiana not in Juma not in federal after person woke up he got good life a new day
to free his soul. You got a new chance to make Toba new brand spankin new chance. So he's pumped up he's fired up he comes to the masjid and he is affected by the opportunity by the Quran, the ambience, all of that wasn't like that. He was just sitting there. And the man Abdullah he was Oh my god. People started reading the Quran. He came to the ayat Surah Nisa Rasul Allah says, Stop, he stopped, he looked up, he said, and lo and behold, his eyes were shedding tears
in our community in the blessed month of Ramadan, right now, speaking to myself first. Those people from my family members who are listening from all over wherever they may be, and I'm speaking to you directly to your heart, in your eyes in your mind, month of Ramadan. They are those of us who have not cried at all. They are those of us who were waiting for the 27th of Ramadan to cry. So as the 27th kids close, some of us lose count of the days. So you pray salata, Alicia, the man looks over
and says, is it the 27th tonight? The person says no. He says, Okay, I'm out of here, I'm leaving. I'm going to come back on the 27th. I make my way and I cry on that night.
There's the person from amongst us, he's crying and hamdulillah even the one who only cries on the 27th Hamdulillah. But don't wait into that time to cry. But it's better than not crying at all.
There are those of us who 14 days of listening to the kalam of Allah. And he didn't cry yet.
But when we make the long dua connote and many times what's being said, is from what people come up with, and that's okay. Sometimes what's being said is schicken coolfront, another messages at the Knuth and the time of dua, that's when the community breaks down. But when we hear the kingdom of Allah,
so we all have to say to ourselves, what's going on? I have to say to myself, why is it this is the month of Ramadan? Why is it that I'm not crying? And I know, this is what the Prophet used to do. So Allah He was salam and Abu Bakr and Omar and Earth man and ally, and they used to cry for many reasons. When they accused our mother, I interrupt the Allah I'm gonna have the certain F of doing something she didn't do. The wife of the heart of the NBN the Rasul Salawat Allah He was set on why
they him, committed Zina behind his back with one of his companions who are from the OD of Allah, and the people have the nerve to say that she said, I cry for a month, I cried so much that my kidneys dried up couldn't cry anymore. I was just making the sound but the water the liquid, I was all cried out dried up.
Then some people can cry, no matter what happens. They can make themselves cry. If they lose their mother, the father of a baby, it doesn't harm them nothing. Because individually has one of the worst diseases. A heart that is hard, can't cry, especially from the Dhikr of Allah for waiting for waiting to look at
the Kerala Whoa. And to those people
who their hearts become hot as a result of listening to Allah's Colombo.
The vicar you give him the See ya, Allah He becomes haughty and rough, nasty, upset, even more. Quran recitation doesn't mean too much to him. As for the believer, the real believer who works on himself who he understands as we all understand, like the day palm tree, the E man goes up and down one day like this one day like that. One day, the water the shore, the water comes up, and then it goes back out, is night and is day, up and down. It's not always the same handle and those
companions aboubaker Your soul Allah when we're with you, our Eman is really high, because you remind us of Allah and all of this and all of that. But when you go away, we're by ourselves. Our Eman comes down. We're dealing with our families when we go to work the dunya.
He told them if your Eman can stay up high like when you're with me, you'll be able to shake hands with a melodica what I can say was saya is like this up and downs back and forth. So the believer he has to make jihad the knifes make efforts in jihad against his heart against that shape on who has put the run over the heart for many reasons, many reasons. Allah mentioned about the Quran Allah Who nuzzle us another Hadith ki tabun with a shabby hum Withania tuckshop Roman who julu de Lavinia
shoulder a bow. Allah has sent down the best speech, a book that resembles itself the eye the sores, they resemble each other, and they are oft repeated. They are repeating themselves over and over. The very skin of those people, when they read it correctly. Hear it collect correctly, the believers they get goosebumps goosebumps. bolts come on their skin, because they are afraid of
Allah's punishment when they hear the vicar. They desire Ally's Rama, when they read about and hear what Allah bestows upon for them for in the agenda. As for the individual who he always complains, he never finds it in his heart to forgive. He never finds it in his heart, his demeanor to smile, he can't say I'm sorry, he can't say a stuffed Finola, he can't do all of that, then this one is definitely touched. We say that in America for someone who acts up you have a child he's acting up,
we say about that child, relax, relax, he's touched, touched. They mean like maybe shaytaan touched him. The person has touched dead heart. So I want to advise you and there are many things we could tell you. How can we kill the heart heart, there are many things to say. But looking at the time, if I'm seeing it correctly, I'm going to just give you two inshallah.
Number one and one in the month of Ramadan, we're trying to do more. This one is carrying around in miswak that he normally doesn't carry around but in the month of Ramadan. He's following that sunnah. That one over there breaks his fast on dates, only a few dates and that's all that he comes in praise. He doesn't normally do that. This one over there has given more sadaqa FISA btw leg, this one over there is in the first row and that one over there is attending Jimmy normally doesn't
attend Joomla and that one is doing that and this one doing that and she's doing this everybody's doing new stuff. We're praying to our way we're doing more stuff, new stuff, even. I'm gonna memorize the DUA this far. I don't know it. I made my goal and objective. I'm going is memorizing the month of Ramadan. So everyone's doing new things, more things. I want to add one of those things. You want to soften your heart, then go to the graveyard today. Not because it's Friday, but
because I'm advising you today and you remember, not because it's Friday, not because it's that he go to the graveyard today. When the Prophet went to his mother's grave sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in Mecca when he conquered Mecca, she was a non Muslim. He went to a grave and he sat at a grade. The Companions came and they found him crying. He told them, I asked a lot allow me to visit her grave so he allowed me to visit grief.
Later on, he told the people in Medina sallallahu alayhi wasallam that had come to hate to come means era to Cabo for Zulu half an inch to the Kira Campbell akhira were to wreck a curb. I used to tell you people in the beginning of a slam don't go to the graves. But now I'm telling you, go to the graves and visit the grief for Vernay will remind you of the hereafter and it will cause your heart to become soft.
Now if you can follow a Janessa for Obi Wan namah but the Hadith didn't mention anything about Janessa
The hadith said go to the grave, just go to the grave, you and your family. And one of the best times to do it is out to South rasa. Because the time it takes to get from your house to the grave after I spoke to him, by the time you get there and you sit there, you look at this stuff and you're contemplating you and your children, you and your wife. By the time you come back, it's almost time for Madrid. So that whole issue saves you time. Staying off of social media saves you time,
listening to music, saves you time, key to a caller, Kevin Heba, all that stuff. Go to the grave. It is one of the best remedies for killing our heart that is heart.
Another advice that I will give you, and as I mentioned, 20, there are many
during the month of Ramadan and doing new things or doing things that we didn't do good before, but we're doing more in Ramadan is important.
If you fall into this, it can kill your heart. And that is the contracts that we have made.
Take care of those contracts. The ones you've been lollygagging about, you borrow money from a man and you still owe him money. You've been on the money for a minute now. You came into a contract with someone, you made a promise to someone you made an agreement, the rent, whatever it is, whatever contract you married, the wife, whatever her dowry, whatever, whatever, any promise, any agreement that you made, and you're not taking care of it. Take care of those contracts now in the
month of Ramadan if you don't do it now. Allahu Allah, will it ever get done? We'll look what Allah has said to happen to Benny asstra Eel, Furby my look at him me fafo, whom I now
the home Garcia because they broke their contracts and agreements, we curse them, and we cause their hearts to become hard.
So one of the reasons that people have hard hearts are the contracts that we don't live up to. And they are meaning meaning between our family members, between each other. There is a contract that we made with Allah in Allah Shah meaning meaning that I'm wanting one for some Jana, Allah has made a contract with the believers he purchased from them, their lives and their money, and they'll get to Jana. That's Allah's contract. Now we have to give Allah his rights now, outside of the bargain,
what's outside of the bargain?
Don't make check with him makes a lot worshiping the way he wants. Love is profit followers profit, love your brother, be easy with your brother, respect your relatives, all of that all of that contract with Allah. Not to mention those contracts that I told you about Benny Adam, the rent, the debt, this debt, the student loan, all of that stuff, try to satisfy that in the month of Ramadan. And we got to contract as well acquainting in this country as well. We have civic duties that we
signed up for universal international laws accepted by everybody take care of those contracts. A colo Cody ha That was stuck for Allah Lee when the Quran when Allah Allah you are thickener we are coming to you hippo Yalda.
And hamdu Lillahi wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah tonight, inshallah we'll mention a few more of these issues before the q&a session after taraweeh. But I want to end this
in 60 seconds by telling you what I told you before trying to accomplish something in this month of Ramadan.
In al Islam, if someone asked you by Allah for something, the Prophet said Salah love while he was setting them give it to you. If he asked you a Can you take me to London, please? You say no, I'm going to London man. Because I'm going to the grade I did. It's no problem. But if the person sets you ask you by Allah by Allah, can you take me to London? And you have the ability to do it because of your Eman biller and making the Vehm of Allah in your heart in your mind. You take them to
London, because the guy asked you by Allah he said to marry himself Bukhari so a man stealing he said did you steal? The man said I swear by Allah Who there is no God worthy of worship at him. I didn't still be several Millennium said, I believe in Allah Allah disbelieve my eyes and he knew the man stole but he made the view of Allah. I'm not gonna ask you to take me to London. I'm not going to steal from you and say no, well, why I didn't steal and expect you to believe me. I'm going to
ask you for what's easy in the neck as the khateeb today as your brother, I'm asking all of you in this masjid, who have the ability. I asked you about Allah each of them
Be one of you on this day to donate generously to this message today, on this special day of Juma do what you have the ability to do normally you walk out the door no problem and you're planning on giving that money somewhere else. hamdulillah I'm asking you about Allah to give sadaqa FISA BT led to this mystery of where we're at right now, in the hope set be given Allahu Taala it is a delivery is a proof on our behalf that we believe in Allah. For those of you who can do that. Do that. We ask
Allah will Tada to save us from the sicknesses of the heart, the sickness of having hard hearts, hearts with doubt, hearts that don't have your king. We asked a lot of time to protect us and save us from arrogance, and to make us of those people to feel unworthy deep, and to establish us firmly upon the Kitab in the authentic sunnah this Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Atkins Salah your hammock moolah.
