00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			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.
