us with His mercy and forgiveness. And may Allah subhanho wa Taala
continue to protect us from all deadly diseases. May Allah
subhanaw taala protect our community or country and the whole
of mankind may Allah heal the more shallow and remove this biggest
test that humankind has faced in recent times.
I bear witness there is none worthy of worship but Allah
subhanho wa Taala I also bear witness that Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam is the final messenger. Through him Allah
subhanho wa Taala sent the final testament and the messenger of
Mercy embodied he practiced the great ideas, the virtues of the
Quran, so that people could look at him as a walking Quran as his
own beloved wife described when she was asked to describe the
character of Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam. She could not do that
she asked the man did you read the Quran?
The man said yes. So what if Quran was working, and sitting and
standing, that was Rasulullah sallallahu. So in other words, he
embodied the beautiful teachings of the Quran, and lived by it. So
we can look up to messenger of Mercy Salallahu Salam, everyone to
follow the guidance and practice it.
Today I have chosen a beautiful Hadith from the 40 Hadith of Imam
nawawi. This is one of those beautiful collections of Hadith
that we should keep for our own study and benefit of our children.
And we should always have basic references at home so that people
can refer to it, read it constantly, and thereby mold our
character and
transform our outlook on life and our behavior.
This hadith is reported by Imam Muslim and many others is a well
attested tradition. When you speak of tradition, there are 1000s of
them. And most of them are fabricated dubious weak. So we
should not be cotinga We should not be citing them but
unfortunately they are always on the social media people send them
because of ignorance or because of wrong understanding they have but
this is one of those feet few traditions that are well attested.
So therefore, we can make sure I understood first certainly it goes
back to Rasulullah sallallahu. So this is reported on the authority
of a great companion of the Prophet
Abu Musa luxury Allahu Anhu. He said the messenger of allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said at the whole Chateau Limon
purification cleanliness is half of faith.
Well, hamdulillah Tamela will Misa
the formula of Alhamdulillah our praise to Allah.
It weighed heavily in the scales of the Judgement Day.
And your formation Subhan Allah Glory be to Allah and Praise be to
Him.
Comme la anima by in a summer you will learn it fills the space
between the heaven and earth. This is symbolic way of
you know, telling us that these formulas, these affirmations when
we repeat them reflect on the meditator
on them, we will be meriting tremendous rewards countless
blessings from Allah subhanho wa taala.
And then the Prophet said was Salah to rule on prayer is light.
Of course, it's a light for the believer in this world and in the
grave. And when we stand up on the resurrection day of faces or part
will be illuminated. So Salah is light was sadaqa to Wuhan, charity
is evidence proof of faith
was Soboleva patience is illumination. Well, Quran objeto
laka how alake Quran can be a witness for you, and advocate for
you, or an advocate against you.
You know, it cannot be a third alternative. Either we accept the
Quran and read and study and practice it, then it will be an
advocate pleading for us before it looks vulnerable.
Or it can be an advocate against us, pleading against us before
Allah subhanaw taala or the Judgment Day, and then the Prophet
said Kulu Nursia do
you have to do everyone starts out is you know life in the morning
from the morning onwards. And you can look at people divided into
two groups. They are are engaging in a transaction.
That transaction either they are selling themselves
to get to you know they are by obeying the last one or whatever
they are purchasing their seat in paradise war they are selling
themselves to shaitan and then landing up
in hellfire.
So this is a beautiful Hadees today we are in Mundo from Milan.
And I pray to Allah subhanho wa Taala that Allah continue to show
us his blessings in this month, and continue to inspire us to
seize the maximum blessings of this month. And there is nothing
more important for us. They're being guided, you know, to the
light of prophecy, and here is a beautiful Hadees repeat a
reflection and pondering the meaning and acting upon them
surely will enrich will enhance our faith and surely will help us
you know attain salvation and success in this world. And the
next one, the first point that the prophet is talking about is
purification.
You know, Islam has,
is multi dimensional it everything that Islam teaches says there is a
form to it and there is a spirit to it.
Because the purification in Islam is physical and mental and
spiritual. There are three levels of purification.
Physical purification, involves, you know, taking a bath, and of
course, performing ablutions. And there are rules. And, you know,
even the chapter on purification. In fact, encyclopedias, spans two
big huge volumes. In a work spanning 35 volumes, two volumes
are dedicated to the rules of purification.
And of course, this is our talking about physical purification, this
Takimoto whistle and Willow. Then when it comes to spiritual
purification, there are 1000s of works written by our spiritual
masters, virtually 1000s on explaining how do we protect our
heart of the diseases of the heart, the toxins that you know
corrupt our mind corrupt or Tiggy, corrupt our soul. So we need to be
engaged while we are performing. All the prophets are allowed, as
Ron said, don't look at it as a physical purification. Because
when you wash your face, and you should make that meow that Allah
washes away the sins that you committed by your face, when you
wash your mouth. Imagine by doing that you are also washing the sins
committed by the mouth every the hand when you wash it, spiritual
aspect of ablution is that you intend that ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala
cleanse you are the sins that you've committed by the hand and
then wash when you wash your feet. The sins committed by the feet. So
look how you know this is a very very that's why Mohammed Hassan
Rouhani
Allah He said, he's a convert from Judaism to Islam, after leaving an
entire life, he had this to say about Islam that this is a perfect
work of art, you cannot take anything away from it, you cannot
add anything to it, this is all complete and perfect immaculately
perfect is the word he used. So, that is why we need to reflect on
our aspects, you know, every single act of worship,
multidimensional This is Salah has a social dimension, Salah has a
physical dimension, because one you will do Salah going boil down
and prostrate, and the way the prescribed to us, surely it will
also help us to get fit physically as well. And there are people
praying hundreds of sometime 100 Rakhi day and they are physically
fit. Of course, if you have time, you should do that. Of course, and
this is a kind of physical fitness as well. But of course, it's a
mental fitness, the Prophet sallallahu wasallam said. So after
talking about purification, the prophet one has to remember to
celebrate the Corolla.
And the best form of zikr for us is to be able to say always
Alhamdulillah
why Alhamdulillah important, because everything I enjoy now,
the breath I take
the side, the way the the fact that I can speak the fact I can
taste a morsel of food,
the fact that I can grasp something, the fact I can digest,
all of these are blessings. And you cannot value them.
Priceless. Nobody can put a value on these proceedings. So there is
nothing greater than a person saying Alhamdulillah from his
heart. This was the basic quality of the believers, you know, which
non Muslims, you know, visiting the Islamic countries, they would
go to the hospital and this man will be suffering. And yet, if you
ask him, How are you, he will smile and say Alhamdulillah
because you know why? Even though I am suffering, still, I should be
thankful to God Almighty, because I am alive. And I have the
opportunity to get to Jana. So our hamdulillah saying Alhamdulillah
from your heart is a great rewarding act. And then Subhan
Allah Subhana Allah means recognizing that God alone is
perfect. He is beyond all imperfections. He the absolute he
the unique, he the incomparable he divides, ie the arguing, so
recognizing that uniqueness and incomparable transcendence of
Allah subhanaw taala. So these two phrases, the Prophet said, Subhana
Allah will hamdulillah is so rewarding, it's filled the space
between the Heaven and Earth meaning this is symbolic way of
telling us how magnificent these words are, how rewarding these
words are. Actually, Islam has witnessed so many saintly people
1000s of them home will always attract these formulas always. And
then Allah subhanaw taala says on the Day of Judgment, these people
you will have on a test be karma you will have on enough us you
know they will be automatically breathing just be
as they are breathing spontaneous. So you and I have this opportunity
of conditioning ourselves to making the car constant. There is
nothing more valuable than that that we could do because it will
inch save us keep shaytan away from us and bring us closer to
Allah subhanaw taala because Allah said Anna Jalisa manga Karani, I
am the Companion of the one who remembers me. So do you want
anyone else as a companion? But Allah subhanho wa Taala What a
great honor. And then the Prophet said was Salah to noon. Prayer is
light.
You know when the day of judgment Allah subhanaw taala says when
they wake up, arise from their graves, yes sir room, Euro they
are surrounded with light, light shining for from friend and from
behind or the left and why and the profit
Hola Hola Silva said, a believers faces will be radiating with that
light, because of the light of the law, because of the light of
purification, the effect of it. And of course, a person spiritual
person can see look at the face of a person who is praying regularly,
and baking will regularly the effect will be on his face or her
face. This is the right from Allah Azza wa Taala is a gift was sadaqa
to Baja. And the Prophet said, charity, of course the top of
charities occur on top of that we should give extra charities also,
it's a boron is evidence of faith, the fact that you trust in Allah
subhanaw taala the fact that you trust in the Promise of Allah,
because when you give for the love of Allah, Allah will replace it
for you. So the car will not diminish your charity, it will
enhance it, it will bless it.
And people who don't give the car who don't give sadaqa they will be
deprived of that blessing in their world. So this is something people
can experience. I had it this kind of experience in various massages
when people were, you know, told to give sadaqa and I recited the,
the Hadith of the Prophet sadaqa will never diminish your world. It
will only increase and enhance it and bless it. And people one after
the other came to me that we believe in the promise of
Rasulullah sallallaahu Salam and the person. You know, one person
came to me and said,
You asked me to give you know, you know 300 Every day $1 A day, a
contribution pledge for the foundation and you recited this
hubby's and I believe it in it. And then when I went home, and I
told my wife about it, she asked me how can we vary the budget.
I said Allah will provide the budget. And next morning when I
went back to work, my boss called me and said I have increased your
salary to $100 a month. So immediately recognized the
blessing of Allah subhanaw taala there are many people telling the
similar stories because they believed in the promise of a last
one was Somalia. Patience is illumination. You know, patience
is required to carry out the orders of Allah subhanaw taala to
wake up for Salah Fajr patience is needed to stand long in prayer if
the hard job or to have the patience is needed. Fasting
require patience, and staying away from seems whenever everybody is
sinning. Everybody is lusting after women or men in the case of
women, you know, so it requires tremendous patience. And what
happened the result is its illumination, you know, allows one
or two attacks about his profit or you are a seller Nirmal Rob, do
you you know what a great servant of you was. You know, he was in
who Allah? He was ever returning to Allah subhanaw taala seeking
you he was afflicted. But now what are the know who Sabirah we saw
him be expedience v. And we saw him as a patient, you know, facing
the trials and tests that Allah subhanaw taala said this way. So
Allah was one Okada, he turns to Allah, Ruby nimasa Riolo My Lord,
I'm afflicted.
So come to my head. And of course Allah subhanho wa Taala removed
that affliction. So we're Quran will hook that to luck allows wa
Rasul Allah says, Quran is an evidence for you, or against you
how, because we are challenged, this book has been revealed as
guidance as a source of healing and light and
for us, so we need to study it, we need to act upon it. If we fail to
do that, it will appear before the Lord of the walls, pleading
against us and testifying against us. And then the prophets of Allah
who says, whether we like it or not, every one of us
we start our day, ask yourself, what kind of work I am engaged in?
Is this am I selling myself to shaytan? Or am I doing the work
that is prescribed by creator so that it will this transaction,
this work I'm doing it will
lead me to agenda or it will take me away I am surrendering to devil
Mia last one out there help us to use the blessing manda from learn
to learn and improve our iman and practice it Akula Cody Harada was
