Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest
Allah is the Greatest, Allah is
the Greatest I bear witness that there is
no god but Allah I bear witness that
there is no god but Allah I
bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of
Allah I bear witness that Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah Come to
prayer, come to prayer
Come to success, come
to success Allah
is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest There
is no god but Allah Brothers
and sisters, first of all our praises to
Allah He describes himself as the one who
has no consort or offspring He has no
partner in his sovereignty He created everything, so
glorify him Proclaim his incomparable essence, names and
attributes I praise Allah, I thank him for
his countless blessings Thank you Allah, you created
us, you provided for us You guided us
to the straight path and you kept us
well With sound health, family, peace and security
in this country I bear witness there is
none worthy of worship but Allah I also
bear witness that Rasulullah is the servant and
final messenger of Allah Through whom Allah has
completed this chain of prophecy So let us
continue to send salutations and peace on all
the chosen messengers of Allah And the final
one, Rasulullah and his family and companions And
all those who strive hard to walk in
their footsteps And may Allah honour me and
you to be included among them Arabs say,
there is a topic for every context for
every time This is the time people speak
about Jesus I want to take a different
route today Instead of talking about Christmas, I
would like to ask What is the message
that we can learn from the mission of
Jesus?
Because this is very very important It is
important for us to know that Rasulullah s
.a.w. is not He is not an
isolated, he is an innovator in religion He
describes his position with the messengers before him
By giving us an example of a building,
a mansion somebody built Every brick is there
except one brick in one corner So people
go around this mansion And they say it
is all wonderful, it is beautiful Except this
brick should be filled When it is filled,
it is complete So I am that brick
with which Allah completed this mansion This construction,
this cart referring to the prophecy The chain,
the prophets that came From the beginning of
Adam s.a.w. until him Series of
messengers, many of them are mentioned And many
are not mentioned And each messenger is representing
a dimension of the truth And the messenger
of Allah came to complete it all With
a Jami'ah His mission comprises the mission
of all the prophets before him So one
way of looking at it, as Imam Shah
Waliullah said He combines in his Sharia, in
his message The law of Moses and the
way of Jesus peace be upon him What
is the law of Moses?
Of course to understand the mission of Isa
a.s. We need to place him in
the context of those Pharisees and Sadducees Who
went to extremes in legalism and ritualism They
practiced religion as simple rituals and dogmas And
they did not follow the soul The heart
of religion So Isa a.s. comes to
bring the soul back into the religion Back
into the law Isa a.s. reminded and
he reminds us Don't be obsessed with the
outward form of religion This form of it
When they talk about Salah All of the
books you learn about Salah It's all about
the form of Salah How high you raise
your hand Where you place your hand Where
you make Sujood Where you look As if
this is the Salah This is the outward
form of Salah So who is teaching the
soul of Salah?
Allah said in the Quran Successful indeed are
the believers Who are attentive Who are mindful
Who are focused Whose mind and heart is
communing with Allah So who started teaching that?
You don't find it in the faker books
It is in the works of Tasawwuf Unfortunately
we said Tasawwuf is all Bid'ah Of
course Tasawwuf is Bid'ah If you mean
by that the cultic form of Tasawwuf But
the genuine Tasawwuf is the heart of religion
Without it, it becomes shell Outward shell is
body without a soul So Isa came to
put back the spirit Into the law of
Moses So that the law should be applied
By focusing We must prioritize So today the
lesson for me and you We have a
lesson from the message and the mission of
Jesus What is that?
Of course you read How he faced those
Pharisees and Sadducees How he said you are
hypocrites Because you are obsessed with the form
And you forget the justice and the compassion
and the mercy Which is the heart of
the law Somebody asked him what is the
greatest commandment?
Greatest commandment in religion Is that you must
love your creator Allah And the next thing
is you should love his creation Love your
neighbor as you would love yourself And he
said to them You forget that You are
obsessed With all the nitty-gritty details of
the law But you are free, you have
no compassion for the poor For the weak,
for the vulnerable You oppress, you commit injustice
This is not religion that Allah wants us
to practice Now Muslims Also Isa if he
were to come today He would proclaim the
same message to us But it's already implied
in the Of the mission of Rasulullah Because
he has the law of Moses And the
way of Jesus So it is time for
us When Allah says in the Quran You
read the gospel Teachings of Jesus This is
encapsulated here Don't you look at the one
who denies religion While he is proclaiming that
he is religious He is the one who
denies it Even though he claims to be
religious And of course the word Deen Very
very subtle This is the beauty of the
Arabic language One word has different dimensions of
meaning in it Deny religion And the other
meaning is accountability Standing before the Lord for
judgment For the final reckoning So those who
practice aggression And tyrannize people They are denying
the religion Because you will stand before the
Lord of the worlds And you will be
accountable How you deal We made each one
of you A fitna for the other A
test for the other The way you treat
me The way I treat you Is what
Allah will The way Allah will treat me
So the way they treat the Palestinians The
people of Gaza Even though they claim to
be religious They are not religious They repulse
the orphans Drive them away Orphans are killed
Incinerated People are starving to death They are
dying They don't encourage the feeding of the
poor The hungry Woe to those who practice
worship But they are unmindful They have no
mind They have no khushu There is no
concentration They don't understand the meaning The meaning
of prayer How do you know?
The evidence is there They refuse even the
smallest acts of kindness Don't neglect
even the smallest acts of kindness Even
if it is a simple act Of appearing
with a pleasant face When you appear before
people Smile It's the least charity that you
can It doesn't cost you much And the
Prophet said You cannot help anyone At least
say a kind word And then the Prophet
Tells us How do we organize our day?
Every day Every day the sun rises, shines
in the sky We owe charity And he
said Saying subhanallah is charity Alhamdulillah is charity
Giving water Guiding someone who is blind Or
someone who is stranded Is charity Helping someone
to produce something good Is charity To pour
water from your jug To someone who has
no water is charity To feed the hungry
is charity And the Prophet said Everything Even
lift someone who is stranded Or somebody struggling
to lift a luggage Give him a hand
That is charity So the Prophet Repeated Exactly
the same Principles and teachings of Jesus Peace
be upon him Today we need to come
back to the soul of religion Because Muslims
Are more legalistic Literalistic And ritualistic Just like
the Pharisees and Sadducees All of us It
is time for us To come back to
the soul of religion Of course Jesus Is
a mighty messenger of Allah Peace be upon
him Jesus is like Adam If you want
to look at the creation How Jesus peace
be upon him His example is like that
of Adam Allah created him without a father
Or mother In the case of Adam And
in the case of Jesus peace be upon
him He was created from a mother But
he has no father Allah doesn't have a
consort Allah doesn't have an offspring He is
incomparable He is the absolute So Back to
the message of Jesus peace be upon him
And the message is Don't be obsessed with
the outward forms Develop that compassion Develop that
spirit of mercy Kindness Love for others Love
for the other What you would love for
yourself Let
me sum up Some lessons from the message
of Jesus peace be upon him That you
and I can practice Number one Develop that
sincere intention Whatever we do Let it be
for the love of Allah peace be upon
him And number two Love for others Love
Allah peace be upon him Because You are
All the blessings you and I enjoy Are
from him He can take them away anytime
So love Allah peace be upon him Unconditionally
And number three is Love your neighbor Love
the creation of Allah And enhance the quality
of life For yourself and others And finally
Let us pray to Allah peace be upon
him To purge our hearts From hypocrisy Show
off, ostentation Doing things When people are seeing,
looking at you And Refusing You know we
should have Each one of us should have
a secret Between us and Allah peace be
upon him Our wife should not know about
it So slip out of your bed When
your wife is sleeping And spend some time
Communing with Allah peace be upon him Or
take out charity Or Come out of your
house like many Forty years This saintly person
He would take his lunch His wife would
give him lunch And he would take it
with him On the way he gives to
the poor And he comes home for the
dinner And his wife doesn't know he is
fasting Forty years he did that This is
how We develop that Sincerity There are many
other ways So help someone Secretly Not No
single human being should know That should be
a secret between you and Allah So ask
yourself What is that secret between me and
my lord I am doing this Simply for
the love of Allah Zaynul Abidin radiallahu anhu
The great grandson of Rasulallah He was providing
Parcels Secretly At the night For hundred families
in Medina And nobody knew where these parcels
are coming But they stopped coming When he
died Then they knew That parcels are coming
from Zaynul Abidin radiallahu anhu So these are
the examples we have So let us follow
These examples of the pious To develop that
sincerity I pray to Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Come
to the aid of the oppressed Our brothers
in Palestine In Gaza In Yemen In all
over the world In Sudan In Myanmar In
Kashmir Let us remember all of them And
may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Come to
the aid of the oppressed Allahumma irina fihi
maja'iba qudratik Ya azizu wa jabbaru ya
muntaqim Allah is the avenger So He will
deal justly With the oppressed in his own
time And that's why We saw the evidence
of it As Syria is liberated And inshallah
Palestine will be liberated In its own time
Let us pray to Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala And let us pray that those who
are suffering From oppression and tyranny And injustice
all over the world Muslims or others May
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Bring relief for
them May Allah be with them May Allah
comfort them May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
Turn their suffering into relief And source of
redemption for them Let us pray for those
who have passed away Allahumma fullil mu'mineena wal
mu'minat Wal muslimeena wal muslimat Allah ya'im
minhum wal anwat When I stand here With
so many bachelors In this community I ask
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala May Allah guide
them To find righteous partners Allahumma arzuquhum azwajan
salihina Wa azwajan salihat Pray with me Allahumma
arzuquhum azwajan salihina Wa azwajan salihat Allahumma arzuquhum
azwajan salihina Wa azwajan salihat May Allah guide
them To find righteous partners Whether they are
brothers or sisters And for the brothers May
Allah guide them To find righteous wives And
for the sisters May Allah guide them To
find righteous husbands I say this And I
ask Allah forgiveness for you End the prayer
