00:00:07 --> 00:00:08

have a corollary.

00:00:09 --> 00:00:13

What are the biller Himanshu reinforcing our main sejati Marina

00:00:14 --> 00:00:20

de hello for Abdullah Amanullah Ruffalo hottie era. Well, why

00:00:20 --> 00:00:24

should one live? La vida hula Sharika? Well, I should want to

00:00:24 --> 00:00:30

say that Mohammed Abu rasuluh al mobos Warahmatullah Amin Allahumma

00:00:30 --> 00:00:34

salli wa Salam o Marie was only Allah Allah He was for Huberty

00:00:34 --> 00:00:38

Herman wala whom water there'll be hottie him was trying to be thrown

00:00:38 --> 00:00:42

at him with RBDR with him and Iommi, Dean and my bad about

00:00:42 --> 00:00:48

allows you kind of see over a bit of Allah, that Allah subhanho wa

00:00:48 --> 00:00:48

Taala

00:00:49 --> 00:00:55

by Remo Nakamura Kohala, Yeoman, Tasha Sofia bizarre brothers and

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

sisters. First of all, I Praise Almighty Allah, the Creator,

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

sustainer and cherish are the world's

00:01:04 --> 00:01:11

who has bestowed on us abundant blessings, and favors the last one

00:01:11 --> 00:01:14

or whatever inspire each and every one of us

00:01:15 --> 00:01:18

to be grateful for the blessing that is bestowed on us

00:01:19 --> 00:01:23

and to share those blessings that God has taught on us when fellow

00:01:23 --> 00:01:30

human beings and the creatures of God so that we enhance the quality

00:01:30 --> 00:01:35

of life for everyone. Because Islam teaches us

00:01:36 --> 00:01:39

that Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam has been sent as a

00:01:39 --> 00:01:45

messenger of mercy for the other piggish so we must manifest this

00:01:45 --> 00:01:52

mercy through actions, compassion, compassionate actions, virtuous

00:01:52 --> 00:01:58

deeds that will show the world the true nature of Islam pro message

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

of Islam. And today we have this opportunity.

00:02:03 --> 00:02:10

We know that the world is facing this crisis is a critical juncture

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12

at a critical juncture.

00:02:13 --> 00:02:18

India and where we come from, is going through a great test.

00:02:19 --> 00:02:23

It is like a wildfire. This pandemic

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

is spreading

00:02:26 --> 00:02:32

so fast that it defies the official World Health Organization

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

official said

00:02:34 --> 00:02:39

it is beyond defy defies heartbreaking. It's beyond

00:02:40 --> 00:02:43

something they have ever experienced or seen.

00:02:44 --> 00:02:50

So I want to use this opportunity in this kotoba to talk about

00:02:50 --> 00:02:56

seizing the opportunities. All of us have great opportunities. Every

00:02:56 --> 00:03:03

single one of us no matter how challenged we are physically or

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

whatever. We still have opportunities to use to earn the

00:03:09 --> 00:03:15

great blessings and rewards and make a contribution to society.

00:03:15 --> 00:03:20

The beneficial contribution because Islam teacher says

00:03:20 --> 00:03:23

Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam said, I'll hyrecar AR Allah

00:03:24 --> 00:03:30

are of creatures are God's family symbolically speaking. Or you may

00:03:30 --> 00:03:34

say a better expression will be dependent on others one over time.

00:03:35 --> 00:03:36

And the best of

00:03:37 --> 00:03:43

people best of humankind are those who are helpful to the family of

00:03:43 --> 00:03:48

Allah to the dependents of Allah subhanho wa taala. So here is an

00:03:48 --> 00:03:52

opportunity for us. The Prophet sallallahu sallam said, in a

00:03:52 --> 00:03:57

beautiful Hadith about seizing opportunities, he said, a return

00:03:57 --> 00:04:04

him Hanson, Abraham's sees five opportunities before the opposite.

00:04:05 --> 00:04:09

Before you are deprived of these opportunities before they are

00:04:09 --> 00:04:15

taken away from you. Shabaab aka Pablo Harami make use of the

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

YouTube vigor the strength that you have

00:04:19 --> 00:04:24

to make creative contributions to innovate, to do things that are a

00:04:24 --> 00:04:29

beneficiary that don't only benefit you, but the community the

00:04:29 --> 00:04:30

creation.

00:04:31 --> 00:04:35

You have to make use of that youth. We cannot spend our youth

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39

wasted away in facilities.

00:04:40 --> 00:04:45

The youth has tremendous potential in India we are the greatest human

00:04:45 --> 00:04:47

resource but they are wasted.

00:04:48 --> 00:04:54

They are wasting their hours precious awards, doing nothing.

00:04:55 --> 00:04:59

Here is an opportunity for the youth who have the means to

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

create jobs, create opportunities, to engage this human resources, to

00:05:07 --> 00:05:12

mentor them, to educate them, and to teach them how to earn a

00:05:12 --> 00:05:13

dignified

00:05:14 --> 00:05:20

how to be maintain their dignity and honor by earning for

00:05:20 --> 00:05:24

themselves and earning for others was to whatever Cabarrus have to

00:05:24 --> 00:05:29

be, make use of the health that you enjoy, before sickness creeps

00:05:29 --> 00:05:34

in. Today, every day we are hearing of people suddenly taken

00:05:34 --> 00:05:41

sick, taken ill they are carried to the hospitals, and from their

00:05:41 --> 00:05:46

right to the butchery this is happening in front of our eyes. So

00:05:46 --> 00:05:51

the lesson here is the health I have the health you have. We need

00:05:51 --> 00:05:57

to use it now as we are to do things that will earn a salvation

00:05:57 --> 00:06:00

that will earn us the pleasure of Allah subhanaw taala that will

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

also give a good reputation for us. Because Allah spoke about his

00:06:04 --> 00:06:10

messengers, Prophet Abraham, Moses and Jesus and others, that not

00:06:10 --> 00:06:16

only they lived a devoted life, and that life dedicated to the

00:06:16 --> 00:06:19

service will last one altar of humanity. And God left them

00:06:19 --> 00:06:25

because of die in noble reputation for them. The posterity is

00:06:25 --> 00:06:29

remembered them, the generations remember the man still remember

00:06:29 --> 00:06:34

them for the great work they have done. So we need to see the

00:06:34 --> 00:06:40

opportunity to do something that I leave behind the legacy of good

00:06:40 --> 00:06:45

works, charitable work, acts of kindness are my own little acts of

00:06:45 --> 00:06:51

kindness, while they knock out a couple of fuckery make use of the

00:06:51 --> 00:06:55

word that you have the richness that you have, because it is taken

00:06:55 --> 00:06:59

away from you because in debt but it is taken away all the saving

00:06:59 --> 00:07:01

that you have accumulated.

00:07:02 --> 00:07:07

Doing this things that unethical practices, you're not going to

00:07:07 --> 00:07:08

take it with you to the grave.

00:07:10 --> 00:07:14

Whatever will accompany you to the grave is as Rasulullah sallallahu

00:07:14 --> 00:07:15

sallam said,

00:07:16 --> 00:07:20

your family will take you there, your friends will take you there.

00:07:21 --> 00:07:26

But nothing you're saving cannot be taken there but the car may be

00:07:26 --> 00:07:32

driven there. But then you are left alone with the work. So what

00:07:32 --> 00:07:37

will benefit us sadaqa jariya an ongoing charity and endowment we

00:07:37 --> 00:07:37

set up

00:07:38 --> 00:07:43

human welfare institutions for charitable work for all foragers

00:07:43 --> 00:07:48

for helping the poor, educating the needy and services, hospital

00:07:48 --> 00:07:53

services. Today India is need of all of these charitable services

00:07:53 --> 00:07:58

because it's collapsed, the system has collapsed. And we can get the

00:07:58 --> 00:08:04

help of our physicians and experts from Kerala and others how we can

00:08:04 --> 00:08:09

mobilize how we can these resources to help our countrymen

00:08:09 --> 00:08:16

because you say one country you say why today this pandemic is not

00:08:16 --> 00:08:21

going to leave us so we cannot leave them suffering and dying

00:08:21 --> 00:08:26

every day like price. Rafa Cabrera surely make use of the free time

00:08:26 --> 00:08:30

you have before you are preoccupied with sickness or

00:08:30 --> 00:08:35

whatever challenges beyond control, while higher taka

00:08:35 --> 00:08:40

available to make use of the life Allah has given you before he

00:08:40 --> 00:08:46

calls you back. Today every day we ended up saying it not in LA he

00:08:46 --> 00:08:47

was in LA he Raju

00:08:48 --> 00:08:53

we are from Allah, we come from him and we are to go back to him.

00:08:54 --> 00:08:58

This is a lesson that God teaches us in the Quran. Every single

00:08:58 --> 00:09:03

creature crawling on the Earth every bird frying, there are

00:09:03 --> 00:09:08

communities like you. And then Allah says, so may be him your

00:09:08 --> 00:09:12

Sharon and they were all of them will be gathered back to the

00:09:12 --> 00:09:17

Creator. So there is a resurrection. There is a standing

00:09:17 --> 00:09:20

before the Lord of the walls. So let us make use of the

00:09:20 --> 00:09:25

opportunities. The number one enemy of humankind is this Orfila

00:09:26 --> 00:09:34

this heedlessness the tendency of leading frog off the floor. Don't

00:09:34 --> 00:09:42

make waves. If you're in Rome, do what Romans do. Very dangerous. We

00:09:42 --> 00:09:46

need to organize our life around the meaning and purpose of life.

00:09:47 --> 00:09:51

And the meaning and the purpose of the life for a moral person for a

00:09:51 --> 00:09:57

religious person is that it is God who created life and death.

00:09:58 --> 00:09:59

Hierarchical multiple higher

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

Lea Morocco, Morocco Masano. Amara in order to test who shall perform

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

best and this performance God says he's observing what will Yamato do

00:10:12 --> 00:10:18

good works. Let God watch you. Let God see your work what work you

00:10:18 --> 00:10:23

are doing. And the work we are doing is not simply offering some

00:10:23 --> 00:10:28

prayers turning to east or west and performing some rituals. It is

00:10:28 --> 00:10:34

active acts of compassion, acts of kindness, the Prophet sallallahu

00:10:34 --> 00:10:39

alayhi wa sallam His Prophet towards word recognized by Khadija

00:10:39 --> 00:10:43

really Levana by pointing to the humanity of Rasulullah snarks

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47

in Nakara pasillo. Rom,

00:10:48 --> 00:10:53

what type of miracle What are in our unavoidable you are a man God,

00:10:53 --> 00:10:59

how can God forsaken man like you, you are carrying the burden of

00:10:59 --> 00:11:00

others

00:11:01 --> 00:11:05

rush to the 100 of the destruction, the needy,

00:11:06 --> 00:11:10

the sorrow rahang you foster the ties of kinship,

00:11:11 --> 00:11:16

what actual model you work not only to sustain yourself, but to

00:11:16 --> 00:11:20

sustain our weak and the vulnerable, sustain others. So

00:11:20 --> 00:11:26

this is Islam. Before Islam came Rasul Allah, the Prophet of Allah

00:11:26 --> 00:11:30

subhanho wa Taala was the best human being recognized when

00:11:30 --> 00:11:34

Messiah comes so much so that even Abuja said

00:11:35 --> 00:11:40

we cannot call you a liar. You are the truth for one, but you know

00:11:40 --> 00:11:44

the message you have son, you have preaching is too dangerous,

00:11:44 --> 00:11:50

because you are teaching us I am biller or equal can never be I am

00:11:50 --> 00:11:51

a Qureshi.

00:11:52 --> 00:11:58

This is the message that we hear are around in different forms. So

00:11:58 --> 00:12:02

Islam came to bring their compassion and justice and

00:12:02 --> 00:12:06

brotherhood, teach a brotherhood of humankind. And this is the

00:12:06 --> 00:12:11

message word nice to hear. I have some heartwarming news from India,

00:12:11 --> 00:12:16

from Gujarat, where the most that were targeted for attacks, they

00:12:16 --> 00:12:19

opened the doors to her.

00:12:21 --> 00:12:25

We are turned into COVID hospitals, and beds everything is

00:12:25 --> 00:12:30

prepared for the patients. Regardless, they don't ask whether

00:12:30 --> 00:12:34

you are a Hindu or Christian whatever. And this is love in

00:12:34 --> 00:12:39

action. This is the kind of proper projection, the beauty of the

00:12:39 --> 00:12:46

message that we should teach, we should go beyond this rituals. And

00:12:46 --> 00:12:50

we have great opportunities for that. So let us see the manga from

00:12:50 --> 00:12:56

Allah. Ramadan is the time as the great poet said, A Tamela mother

00:12:56 --> 00:13:01

Aquila body, he thought that he will be middle for Saudi Ramadan

00:13:01 --> 00:13:07

is here. It is the perfect time to plant the seeds, seeds, spiritual

00:13:07 --> 00:13:08

seeds.

00:13:09 --> 00:13:16

And when you plant in time, and nurture it with care, take care of

00:13:16 --> 00:13:24

it, you are going to reap good harvest. But if you don't, if you

00:13:24 --> 00:13:28

fail to plan and take care of the plant and if you plan and fail to

00:13:28 --> 00:13:33

take care of it, you will regret at the time of harvest. So far the

00:13:33 --> 00:13:39

whole cocoa how long my fella so pay the dues of Ramadan in words

00:13:39 --> 00:13:44

and actions, how do we do that? Ramadan is the perfect season for

00:13:44 --> 00:13:49

charitable works. The Prophet said every single charitable deed,

00:13:49 --> 00:13:55

whether it is monetary, financial, or a kind word or anything that

00:13:55 --> 00:14:00

you do for the help of a suffering human being a human being who is

00:14:00 --> 00:14:05

in need of it, that is an act of devotion, act of worship in the

00:14:05 --> 00:14:09

sight of Allah subhanaw taala we will merit multiple rewards 70

00:14:09 --> 00:14:14

times more than when it is done in other times and this is the time

00:14:14 --> 00:14:21

for the QA and so the cut all of us have things to give inshallah.

00:14:22 --> 00:14:27

Financially we should give with chop it up. And we should those

00:14:27 --> 00:14:32

who cannot give still they have talents. They have knowledge. They

00:14:32 --> 00:14:37

have things that they can make use of whatever talents God has given

00:14:37 --> 00:14:44

us. God created everyone to serve a niche, fill a niche and ask what

00:14:44 --> 00:14:49

is that niche that you can fill? In this great curse crisis that

00:14:49 --> 00:14:54

humankind is facing? How can we contribute to make life better? So

00:14:54 --> 00:14:56

shake off your heedlessness

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

try to lead an examined life

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

Make use of the time, the hours of the day and the hours of the night

00:15:04 --> 00:15:05

in Milan.

00:15:06 --> 00:15:13

We should intensify our vicar, or meditation. How meditation are the

00:15:13 --> 00:15:18

Beautiful Names of Allah subhanaw taala supplicating to Allah. Just

00:15:18 --> 00:15:24

don't be selfish to pray for yourself alone. Pray for Allah to

00:15:24 --> 00:15:31

show mercy to lift this calamity, this Woba this pandemic, from all

00:15:31 --> 00:15:37

of us. Pray for the suffering humanity, regardless of religion,

00:15:37 --> 00:15:43

regardless of race, that is the soul of Islam. So, make use of the

00:15:43 --> 00:15:48

right to power, the Night of Power will fall in the old nights of

00:15:48 --> 00:15:52

Ramadan. You know, Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam came out to

00:15:52 --> 00:15:59

disclose the exact date, time for the NATO power. But then as he

00:15:59 --> 00:16:04

came, Muslims some Sahaba were engaged in wrangling and dispute.

00:16:05 --> 00:16:09

Allah subhanaw taala suddenly take took away that blessings. And the

00:16:09 --> 00:16:15

Prophet said I came to announce for tele half Mulan, Mulan, so on.

00:16:15 --> 00:16:20

So we're arguing and fighting Of course, if not fighting

00:16:20 --> 00:16:24

physically, so Allah to cover the basics. So it is a lesson for the

00:16:24 --> 00:16:29

Muslims stop fighting, stop bickering, stop separating each

00:16:29 --> 00:16:35

other, let us get united or common goals. The country needs or the

00:16:35 --> 00:16:40

world needs United action, mobilize the resources and let us

00:16:40 --> 00:16:44

do so and make use of the proceeds of Ramadan. In terms supplication

00:16:45 --> 00:16:52

intense was making Lord of Israel far asking Allah forgiveness for

00:16:52 --> 00:16:58

call to talk Pharaoh Boko wa salam preach, consistently make a state

00:16:58 --> 00:17:03

far because God will open the doors of mercy from above and from

00:17:03 --> 00:17:04

beneath.

00:17:05 --> 00:17:10

abundant mercies more will open the doors of mercy for for royal

00:17:10 --> 00:17:16

Allah, Flee to Allah subhanho wa Taala independence, what to do it

00:17:16 --> 00:17:22

Allah He Jamia or Yahoo believers repend sincerely to Allah subhanho

00:17:22 --> 00:17:28

wa taala. So let us never and another important thing is,

00:17:28 --> 00:17:34

Charity begins at home, fostering the ties of kinship, fostering the

00:17:34 --> 00:17:39

time human bones. So Charity begins at home means make up with

00:17:39 --> 00:17:44

your parents. Make up with your brothers. Make up with your

00:17:44 --> 00:17:49

sisters, make up with your uncles and aunts. Make up video friends,

00:17:49 --> 00:17:51

your broken relations

00:17:52 --> 00:17:57

car, take that pick up that phone and say I am sorry, if I have

00:17:57 --> 00:18:02

offended. Please forgive me. Let us forgive each other because five

00:18:02 --> 00:18:06

who was for who forget and forgive. If you want Allah to

00:18:06 --> 00:18:10

forgive you. The best way to do that is to forgive the one who

00:18:10 --> 00:18:15

funded you. This is the teaching of Rasulullah seminars. So foster

00:18:15 --> 00:18:20

the ties of kinship. Start from home. If you have been estranged

00:18:20 --> 00:18:25

from your wife, forget and forgive and reconcile those differences

00:18:25 --> 00:18:29

and strengthen the bond of the family. Let the children

00:18:29 --> 00:18:34

experience Lau at home, peace at home tranquility at home, through

00:18:34 --> 00:18:39
