Tying of understanding

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

those who believe in Allah in the last

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

day,

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

and what are signs and measures

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

for those people to understand their faith? Because

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

we said that these a hadith,

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

couple or align

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

the belief of Allah in the last day

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

with an action. We've talked about many actions

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

so far, and inshaAllah we'll conclude with one

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

today.

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

Again, these are for us to understand how

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

well we're doing them as a measure of

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

faith and iman that we have in Allah

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

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Because we can't see iman,

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

it's hidden in our hearts, but it's a

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

sign of how much we have in our

00:00:32 --> 00:00:32

hearts,

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

in terms of believing in Allah in the

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

last day. And so the prophet sallallahu alaihi

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

wa sallam said,

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

And the Hadith, the translation is if you

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

see a,

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

person

00:00:56 --> 00:00:57

that frequents

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

the masajid of Allah,

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

then

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

bear witness or testify that that person is

00:01:02 --> 00:01:05

a believer because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,

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

and actually what we read, in

00:01:08 --> 00:01:11

Surat Al Isha, in Surat Tawba inna mayamuru

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

masajidallahi,

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

those who frequent the masajid of Allah are

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

those who believe in Allah in the last

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

day. And so this is very clear. Those

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

who believe in Allah in the last day,

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22

it's equated with how frequent

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

we visit the masajid.

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

How frequent do we find ourselves in the

00:01:27 --> 00:01:30

masajid. We know that the masajid of Allah

00:01:31 --> 00:01:32

these are his home.

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

Right? So when we visit the masajid, we're

00:01:34 --> 00:01:35

visiting Allah

00:01:36 --> 00:01:36

This is

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

We're getting out of the dunya, we're coming

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

to the remembrance of Allah

00:01:42 --> 00:01:43

to get closer to him, to build a

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

bond and a relationship with

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

Because whether we like it or not, everything

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

outside the masjid is a distraction.

00:01:50 --> 00:01:52

It's a distraction. There's obviously khair in a

00:01:52 --> 00:01:53

lot of outside, what we do outside the

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55

masjid, but at the end of the day

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

we come to the masjid to focus on

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

Allah

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

And this is what Allah

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

loves.

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

The people come to His Masjid, a sign

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

of faith. That we said also read in

00:02:05 --> 00:02:05

salatul

00:02:10 --> 00:02:13

In whom that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala allowed,

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

gave permission for it to be built, and

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

his name to be remembered in it.

00:02:19 --> 00:02:22

Day in the mornings and the evenings frequently.

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24

Who's remembering him? Rijal.

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

Men

00:02:26 --> 00:02:26

who?

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

Men who are not distracted

00:02:32 --> 00:02:33

by commerce,

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

selling

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

and trading

00:02:36 --> 00:02:37

from the remembrance of Allah

00:02:41 --> 00:02:42

And they are afraid of the day that

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44

where the hearts and the eyes are flipped,

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46

which is the day of judgment. And hence,

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

the believing Allah on the last day. And

00:02:48 --> 00:02:49

so Allah

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

is saying,

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52

people who frequent the masajid,

00:02:52 --> 00:02:53

they are not distracted

00:02:54 --> 00:02:55

by the day to day, the selling, the

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

buying, everything that goes on outside. And this

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

is a sign of belief. And in another

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

hadith, the Prophet

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

that

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

The most beloved places to Allah are the

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

masajid.

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

All the masajid. And so, if we choose

00:03:12 --> 00:03:14

to come to the masjid and we frequent

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

it, we are choosing Allah over dunya. We

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18

are choosing the hereafter over dunya. This is

00:03:18 --> 00:03:19

the equation.

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

It's as clear as that. When we come

00:03:21 --> 00:03:22

to the Masjid,

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

we we prioritize

00:03:24 --> 00:03:26

guidance and gaining knowledge

00:03:26 --> 00:03:29

to strengthen our iman, to strengthen our understanding

00:03:29 --> 00:03:31

of Islamic values and principles

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

over anything else. When we come to the

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

masjid,

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

we prioritize

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

the sense of community

00:03:38 --> 00:03:41

that Islam is built upon, that we come

00:03:41 --> 00:03:44

to pray together, we do activities together, we

00:03:44 --> 00:03:47

socialize together to build brotherhood and sisterhood bonds.

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49

The first thing that Prophet did when he

00:03:49 --> 00:03:51

went to Madinah from the hijrah, is establish

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

a masjid.

00:03:53 --> 00:03:55

That was the very first thing did.

00:03:55 --> 00:03:58

Because this was going to gather everybody to

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

build a community. You can't build a community

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

without a masjid. And and and and and

00:04:03 --> 00:04:05

and those who, who come, you know, from

00:04:05 --> 00:04:07

the Arab world, sometimes we call the masjid

00:04:07 --> 00:04:07

jamaah.

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

Jama means the place that gathers or collects

00:04:10 --> 00:04:11

people.

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

And so this tying

00:04:13 --> 00:04:15

of how frequent we come to the masjid

00:04:15 --> 00:04:17

with the strength of our belief.

00:04:18 --> 00:04:20

And so we can examine that for ourselves.

00:04:20 --> 00:04:23

So my recommendation to myself and to everybody,

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

inshaAllah ta'ala, that we see how frequent we

00:04:25 --> 00:04:26

come to the masjid.

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28

It should be, inshaAllah, at least a part

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30

of our day that we come every day

00:04:30 --> 00:04:31

to the masjid. If we're not there, no

00:04:31 --> 00:04:33

problem. We can work towards coming at least

00:04:33 --> 00:04:35

one prayer a day. If we already do

00:04:35 --> 00:04:38

ishah everyday, because we're in ishah, then try

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

to add Qajr.

00:04:39 --> 00:04:41

And if you do that everyday then add

00:04:41 --> 00:04:43

another prayer. Try to come to the masjid

00:04:43 --> 00:04:46

for duroos, for halaqaat, for activities. This all

00:04:46 --> 00:04:48

counts, this is all building a community.

00:04:49 --> 00:04:52

There's a lot of if you look at

00:04:52 --> 00:04:53

where where your baseline is and try to

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55

increase that because that's a sign of iman

00:04:55 --> 00:04:57

and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and the last

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

day. And I hope that was a benefit

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

inshaAllah.

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

So inshaAllah, next week we'll start a new

00:05:01 --> 00:05:02

series.
