Ah,

ya Johan, Rasulullah,
kamir Robb, wailam,
sada,
Allah, salam
ala wai narabi, dai ya vahina,
husayli, halaq, faqabalakumakala Nabi yusall, Allahu, alayhi wa
sallam,
respected alumni, Karam elders, beloved brothers in Islam,
as we are aware through the puzzle and the grace and the mercy of
Allah subhanho wa taala,
we have entered into a new year in the Islamic calendar,
14 142 after Hijrah.
This year begins with the onset of one of the Ashura forum, one of
the four sacred months of the Islamic calendar, the four sacred
months as Raja so with the first of Muharram is the onset of what
we refer to as a new year.
One very important caution and lesson that we learn,
particularly with regards to the fast of Ashura, that in itself is
a separate topic, and obviously will be discussed at some point.
But Allah's Rasul, sallAllahu, alaihi wasallam, the mizaj and the
temperament of Shariat,
the thinking and the psychology of our deen is that our deen has to
be unique.
Our deen is separate from any other way of life,
in adopting our principles, in our guidelines, in our directives,
we are not the slaves of the mindset of the kufar or the yahood
and the Nasara.
Unfortunately, we find psychologically
when a comb and a nation becomes maghu, when they are overpowered,
then they always exist this danger
that even in their principles and in their Mizan, their temperament,
they will tend to follow those who are Khalid, those who are masters
over them. And
this is the great caution that we are taught every rakat of every
Salah, we are making dwaa to Allah, him, reil, mahdo, May,
alayhi, wala Lim, every rakat of every Salah, we are making dua to
Allah, dala dari Allah, protect us. Protect us from adopting the
way of the yahudan, and Asara protect us from adopting any other
way besides the way of Nabi APA SallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam in
our dressing, in our Nikas, in our functions, in our businesses, in
our goals, in our ideals, in every aspect of our life. There is this
constant reminder, and there is this constant danger that exists
that do not ever lean towards the way
of the enemies of Allah and His rasulallahu, alayhi wa sallam. And
this message is accentuated when it comes to this fast of Ashura.
Like I said, it's a separate topic. I'm not going to go into
the details, but the sulaypat, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam,
leave your dressing or leave your Nikas, or leave your ceremonies,
or leave your eating habits, or leave your businesses when it
comes to your Ibadan, also,
he would not tolerate that there should be any Musha Bahat,
there should be any similarity. That is why, when it came to this
fast of Ashura, Rasulullah said la in Baqi to ILA Kabil la Asuman
natasya,
that if Allah Dalai gives me life till the next year,
then by fasting on the 10th of Muharram, there is the possibility
that we are imitating the yahud.
So I will add another fast, either on the ninth or the 11th. I will
add another fast so that there is absolutely no idea, even an iota
that remains, that in any way we have made mushad Or we have
imitated the.
Up even a mosquito, such a tiny creation, Allah says, We will
prove our Putra and our power through a mosquito and less than a
mosquito also one virus, and the whole world has been brought to a
standstill.
Economies have been upended. Lives have been upended, freedoms have
been taken away.
This is a test. This is a trial. This is a tribulation. Forget, as
I mentioned many times, forget your conspiracy theories. Nothing
can harm or benefit you without the permission of Allah. China is
not in control. America is not in control. Russia is not in control.
Scientists are not in control. Allah is in control. It is his
system. It is his and his arm. One virus which you cannot even see in
the day of Juma, your Masjid is empty.
Leave the other salah.
Leave the other salah. Juma and your Masjid is empty.
Last week we were in Cape Town. We met some brothers, five time,
musalli, five time. Musalli And the person says, Malana, in four
months, I haven't made Juma Salam
leave. People that were away from the masjid, people that were in
the masjid,
our masjids are empty. Our musalis have found some corner and some
hole somewhere else to make Salah because of a fitna and a test
which came from Allah, which you can't even see. What will happen
when dajjal comes?
Which conspiracy theory are we going to grab and hold on to? When
gajal will bring a dead man alive in front of us,
when the John will give the order and it will start raining, then
what you going to say? China, America, some scientists, some
laboratory and at the expense of that, fitna, which armal of Deen
Are you going to hold on to?
We can't even see this virus, and our masjids have been empty. You
I respected brothers, there is great khatra.
There is great danger to our iman.
This environment of fear, this pandemic, has created a psychology
and an environment of fear,
who is going to protect you? Who is going this is the question we
need to ask ourselves. Where is the protection who is going to
protect you?
That antibiotic is going to protect you, the ventilator
machine is going to protect you,
the means that some scientists are telling you are going to protect
you.
Today, the mask is good. Tomorrow is no good. Today, social
distancing. Tomorrow, no social distancing. Today. It's
transmitted by liquids and fluids from the body. Tomorrow, it's in
the air.
Wake up to the reality they themselves do not know. Only Allah
knows.
Only Allah knows.
Why is it husband and wife living together? Husband gets it, wife
doesn't get it. It was supposed to be transmitted. It was highly
contagious. Yes, it is contagious, but understand there are
possibilities, and they are probabilities.
Science deals with possibilities. It is only Allah that is the
control of probabilities.
Allah gives whom he wants. Allah takes from whom he wants. It is
his system. It is his Nizam that is controlling. You want
protection. You want protection. Allahu Akbar. What greater
protection can you get than the protection that Muhammad
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam has given you? What did my Nabi say?
Mansala, Subha, jamaatin,
mansalla. Subha, jamaatin, Fauci, Allahu, Akbar, what more do you
want? Seven Heavens, seven Earths can come to an end. Allah's
Qassam, Allah's custom, not one word of lie, not one word of
exaggeration, not one word of ambiguity passed through the
Mubarak glyphs of Jana, be Rasulullah, sallAllahu, alayhi wa
sallam. This is that Nabi of Allah. One Najim, Ira Hawa,
Madala, sahibakum, wama Hawa, wama Yan te Kuan il Hawa in Hua Illah
wa Hui Yu ha Allahu Akbar, does, Ma, OH.
And you want protection.
We can't even see this. What is going to happen when dajjal comes?
Allah, protect us. We can't even see this, and we've abandoned the
masjid,
please my respected brothers, Allah Keli, Allah kewaske, make
Toba. Make Toba. From this thinking, do whatever you want to
do, where the MAS where hazmat suit to if you want, no problem.
Nobody is stopping you.
But don't abandon the Masjid.
You want to meet Allah tomorrow with iman and Islam. You cannot
abandon the Masjid. Masjid is Iman. Masjid is the protection of
your Imaan Masjid is the protection of your Islam.
Otherwise, take Salah out. Take Jamaat out. Take the masjid out,
and by the Qasim of May Allah, you've taken the head of Islam
off. There is no Islam.
There is no Islam without salah, there is no Islam without Jamaat.
There is no Islam without the Masjid.
Forget this. I'll make Salah in my workplace. I'll make Salah here.
I'll make Salah there. We have ridiculed this great command of
Allah Sabah. Say, when a man couldn't walk, we would carry him,
dragging his feet on the ground and make him stand in the
suffering. Salah.
Abdullah rasulallah, can't see. I'm blind. Ya Rasul I am blind. Is
there an excuse for me to come to the masjid? Can I read at home?
What does my Nabi say? Can you hear the azan atas mount Nida? Can
you hear the azani says, yes, what does Rasulullah mean? A mercy to
humanity? And he says to a blind man, I can't find any reason to
excuse you from the masjid.
And one virus, one virus, and we've abandoned the protection of
Allah, and we want protection
one virus, and we've compromised the principles of our deen, and we
want protection.
Read your Fajr Salah with Jamaat in the masjid for who of he is
immatil Allah rasulallah, man is in the direct protection of Allah.
And what else does my Nabi say? If anything thereafter harms him, if
anything thereafter harms him, then that entity will have to
answer to Allah.
That entity will have to answer to Allah, because you contravene the
one whom I gave protection to wear your Hazmats, to do whatever you
want, but Allah's Qassem, there is no greater protection than this.
Sahaba yakin was this time is limited. In fact, I never went to
the topic I was supposed to discuss. But this is the need, the
cry, the call of the hour.
Sahaba lay siege to a fortress
ralevan In Hira,
days of siege,
and still
the enemies of Islam are not relenting. Finally,
they head Padre.
That time, the Amir of the Jamaat of Sahaba is Khalid bin wali Radi
Allahu Taala Anhu.
They head Padre, the head priest request an audience with Khalid
bin Walid.
Khalid bin Wali, the real Anu exceeds
so the head priest comes in his hands. He has a goblet. In that
goblet
is a poison. The name is mentioned in the books of history. Sum it
was
well known that this is so potent that leave an Insan, even a horse
or a camel. If he that would drink one droplet of this poison, it
would drop dead.
He has a goblet of this in his hand, and he says to Khalid bin
Walid, one of two things,
either you people leave, or you people sign a truce with us,
because we will never surrender, because if we have to surrender
that ignominy and disgrace, I would rather die first than suffer
that disgrace. I will never surrender. If you don't accept my
offer for truth, then I am going to drink this poison, and I rather
terminate my life, commit suicide, but I will never suffer the
ignominy and humiliation of having to surrender
Khalid bin Walid RadiAllahu danaan, who says, hand me over the
goblet. I want to see it.
This padari hands it over to Khalid bin Walid Sahabah didn't
realize what he was about to do otherwise.
They would have intervened, but these were mountains of Imaan, not
something for us to try. But sabak of iman yakin on the words of
Rasulullah, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, six foot tall, robust,
great warrior, Sword of Allah, safe Allah, Khalid bin Walid,
RadiAllahu taala, who holds the goblet in his hand. Bismillahi,
Lahiya, Guru masmihi, Shay unfill ardiwa, lalim, I take the name of
Allah.
I take the name of Allah, whose name, when it is taken, nothing in
the heavens and the earth can ever harm me, except without his
permission. Wah Sami, ull, Alim and may Allah is the listener, and
may Allah has complete knowledge. Khalid Diwali, it says this, and
drinks the entire goblet and its contents.
Sahaba rushed to intervene. It's too late. He's already drunk it,
but the yakin on the words of Rasulullah sallallahu, Sallam
Bismillahi, Lama Ashay unfilled, Ardi, one of his sama Wah Samuel
alim, and unaffected, unharmed, when that Padre says that, He
says, I take a Qassam upon Allah, no nation in this world will ever
be able to stand Up to you, as long as you have this yakim and
this reliance and this trust upon Allah.
Ali Lam Aha ahaun, wala Kaja,
Fati,
namin ka
Allah says, What do
you think istitam inkari, rhetorical question, what is wrong
with you? What do you think? What do the people think? Jannat is
Chief. Iman is Chief. Laila illallah, Muhammad, rasulallah is
Chief. No, do you think you are going to say Aman now we are going
to bless you with iman, and we are not going to test you.
There won't be a virus, there won't be sickness, there won't be
loss of property, there won't be loss of life, there won't be a
test. No, Allah should not. Allah says, We tested the nations of the
past, and we will test you and why? Falaman, Allahu, Alaina,
through this test, we will make it known who is truthful in his Iman
and who are the liars. Who is truthful in his Iman and who are
the liars each one of us, Thunder dilke sath, sit in the darkness of
our room, close the door and start thinking my respect, take
analysis. Muharram has come. New Year has come. Allah has given us
another extension. The time of our moth is written, the time of our
moth is written, and when that time comes, they will not be one
second extension given to anyone my respected brothers, virus,
sickness, accident, hijack, looting, robbery, that is not the
cause of death. Death is the cause of death.
These things are not the cause of your moth.
These things are they excuse by which Allah will bring you more
our mama in our face with Allah,
our mama in our face with Allah, these tests are supposed to bring
us closer to Allah. So sit in that solitude and think, take stock,
Ya Allah, you tested us. Ya Allah, the Assad and signs of your anger
apparent in every direction,
shamelessness, disobedience of Allah. What and what is going on
Allah's tears came. Did it bring me closer to Allah? Is my
connection with the masjid stronger? Or have I abandoned the
Masjid? Have I abandoned the principles of Deen? Have I
abandoned my Allah? We still have chance. Now is the time for Toba.
Now is the time for Toba. Now is the time for reflection and
understand. My respected brothers, wear the hazmat suit if you want
wear a mask if you want do whatever you want. Nobody is
asking you if you feel you are putting yourself in danger. To put
yourself in danger. No, do whatever you want, but don't
abandon the Masjid.
There is no greater protection for your iman and your life than the
Masjid. Make your Fajr Salah with Jamaat you are in Allah's
protection. Read the duas of ifas and protection that may NaVi
taught us Walla that is the greatest protection, that is the
greatest precaution, over and above that do whatever you want,
but let it not be at the cost of your deen and your iman and your
Islam. This is the need, the cry, the call of the hour. This ummat
has to come back to the masjid otherwise my respected brothers
Allah only knows what the circumstance is going to be and
what the outcome is going to.
