Theme,
is the significance of masajid. I'm going to
conclude the month with it. So probably tonight
and then Monday Wednesday and then Thursday, we'll
start something new
at the beginning of, of August, which is
the month of outreach. And, hopefully, everyone will
do their best to bring people to
and, reintroduce them to the house of Allah
and be a beacon of dawah for those
who who have maybe lost their way or
don't feel as comfortable as maybe we do.
And this hadith is is connected to the
masjid, maybe not directly, but indirectly. Hopefully, you'll
find the, the the theme of it or
the concept of it helpful. So So he
said the following.
So he said
he said for me to sit with people
in the Masjid, and the reason that the
theme of this is the the the house
of Allah
what he's referring to because people play pray
in in Masjid. So what he's saying is
it for me to sit with people
who are in engaging in the remembrance of
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
from after the prayer of
and until the sun rises is more beloved
to me than if I had the ability
to
pay money and and, free 4
4 people from the, nation of Ismail, meaning
meaning 4 people from Quraysh. He's talking to
his own people. The I I prefer it
for that over having enough money to free
4 of you. And we all know that
the yeah. I need the concept of
to free someone yeah, I need from flavor.
He's extremely,
important and held in high regards in Islam
in in many ways. So what he's he's
just trying to make a point
that that the remembrance of Allah in the
masjid after within this hour is extremely, extremely
important. And then he would and he said,
and for me to sit with a group
of people who are engaging in the remembrance
of Allah
until
the sun goes down is more beloved to
me than freeing for, meaning the same the
the same thing.
And he has the option to sit and
engage in the remembrance of Allah with
people,
yeah, that he would prefer doing that than
having enough money to free for for human
beings. Right? This is what he's not that
he wouldn't do both out of his but
he's trying to make a point here in
terms of of of importance. And this I'm
not I'm not trying to get into the
argument of, you know, doing remembrance together versus
individual. That that's not what the I'm trying
to talk about here. What I'm trying to
point point point point because the remembrance of
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala could be a
a session of of knowledge. It could be
many things. It could be just sitting there
and saying
and and saying the name of Allah
and doing tahleel.
But all that is the everything that that
that has some degree of of, closeness to
Allah considered
and considered and considered a, the the act
of remembrance. But the concept is that the
prophet alaihi salatu wa sallam, yeah, if he
had the ability
to
reason he's saying that is that because he
he rarely did. Like, he rarely could afford
to do these things, alayhis salatu. He couldn't
afford to pray Fajal and sit around for
2 hours with people,
remembering Allah
because they had work to do. They had
an ummah to build and they had wars
to fight and they had he didn't he
couldn't always do this, nor could he always
afford
to sit and and engage in this. But
if he had the ability to engage, he'd
prefer that than having enough money to free
4 people. Having enough money to free 4
people is a lot of money, first of
all, and the action itself is extremely important.
So he's trying to bring to us
this concept, this idea of the importance of
you if you come to the masjid and
you pray in Jannah, and then you sit
there, and you just engage in the remembrance
of Allah
with those who are around you. When whatever
however that's going to look, whatever that remembers
is going to be at the end, doing
that is is more valuable than some of
the most
prestigious
acts of worship in our deen, such as
and not 1 or 2 or 3, but
4.
And there's there there are there are small.
Yeah. I mean, there there are symbolic ideas
here that are worthy of a contemplation. I
hope that was a benefit to you.
