It rahmat and mercy that was directed to us,
so many of us, and there's nothing wrong with that, but many of us
are what we call
we have acquired Iman and Deen viratha, and we have inherited it,
either because of lineage or because of which home or which
family we were born, of which geographical location we were
born. There's nothing wrong with that. That is Allah's very great
favor. Where the problem lies is to be satisfied and content with
that.
Every day of our lives is a challenge. Every day of our lives
is a test. Every moment that we are in this world. Allah Tala asks
one ajib Question in the Quran. What is that question? Ahasi
bananas. Ahasi Bananas, a uttarakku, akulo, Aman na wahum,
Laon,
this question is very, very frightening.
It's a very fearsome question if you understand the implications of
it. One hand, it is fearsome frightening if you understand the
implications. On the other hand, it is a very logical question.
Little child also will tell you
that the way the system of the world is,
the more valuable something is, the more effort you have to make
valuable thing you don't get it for free. That's logical.
Ibrahim in Adam. Rahim Allah, one day he wanted to use the public
toilet. No one attaches value to a Toilet. Toilet is a place of
najas, ways of filth.
It's a place of shayatin. So there was somebody standing outside.
Obviously, the man is not going to ask for 10 and 20,000 Rand to use
the toilet,
then ask you for a few pennies.
So when he was asked that you use these facilities, you have to pay
a few pennies, he started crying.
So someone asked him the question.
They said, If you don't have the money, we'll pay. Why are you
crying?
So he said, The realization dawned upon me that this is a place of
filth and najasat and I can't enter here for free. How am I
going to enter Allah's Jannat for free?
Such a Jannat. Such a Jannat. One day, Rasulullah sallallahu a day
was salam says to Sahaba, Allah, Hal musham mirun lil Jannah.
Allah, Hal musham, mirun Lil Jannah, there is no easy way to
translate this, but to translate literally, we won't understand
what this is. This is like we heard in the Isha salah.
This is when you put water into somebody's mouth. This is when you
use emotive speech, evocative language, Allah in his rasal
Salaam, part of the methodology of dawah and instilling the
importance and the value of iman, Deen, kabar and akirat. Many, many
places. Allah uses evocative language. Allah uses emotive
language. Wanna make it simpler. In other words, Allah does
advertising.
Rasulullah, sallAllahu, Islam does advertising. Dawat is advertising.
If you look at Coca Cola or look at Pepsi, or look at these
multinational conglomerates,
their advertising bill every year runs into millions, if not
hundreds of millions of dollars and pounds
they battle today has understood the importance of advertisements.
That is why stupendous amounts of money are spent, and the achieve
thing and digressing, the achieve thing is the another thing that
they have understood is that if you want to impress in the hearts
of somebody the importance of something, you need to repeat,
say it over and over and over and over again. If you look at Quran,
there is no more eloquent speech than the Quran. Quran wants to
tell you about Musa Ali Salam. How many times does the name of Musa
Islam come in the Quran plus minus 136
times.
136 times. Allah Tala wants to tell you. Allah wants to tell you
that what is in front of you, don't be fooled by it.
Don't believe what you see. Don't think that benefit and harm is
dependent on what is apparent. One sabak, one lesson Quran want to
give you, it was practically shown to say in a.
Poetic
language.
This is a poem that is attributed to Majnu. We all know the incident
of Layla and Majnu. What was this? A love story.
So one day, Majnu sees a bird, a bird that came from the direction
of the village of Layla. This is a sign of true love. Anything
associated with your beloved becomes beloved to you.
Today, we have to ask ourselves, what is Beloved to us? The other
day, like I said, I'm digressing the other day I was mentioning in
one Majlis Allama say one is to claim love. One is to claim love.
One is to talk about love. What is the proof of love? Secretly,
secretly. How do you find out what is close to a person? What does he
really love? Because today, masha Allah, kehana, may ashike Rasul
who I love Rasulullah, I love Allah and His Rasul salasam. Those
claims are very easy to make. What is the proof?
One very, very bitter and one very, very lucid and clear proof
about how much love for Sunna, how much love and association with
Allah and His Rasool, as in our hearts my respected brothers, is
not the kurta and beard, not the kurta beard and topi and amama.
Yes, these are very, very important things, but they are not
the real proof. What is the real proof? The real proof is your
children.
You want to see how much real love a man has for Sunna and what is
associated with Muhammad Sallallahu, Islam, look at the
seeds that he is planting in his children.
This is why Allah must say, Al waladu, Sir, only ABI al waladu.
What is the secret? Because a day is coming. A day is coming. A day
is coming. Very, very frightening. Verse in the Quran, Allah Tala
does not tell us. We will reveal what is in your heart. Allah says,
Waho sila, mafi sudur. Waho sila, mafi sudur, a day is coming. A day
is coming. Munafiqin of Madina, munafiqin, hypocrites,
what is hypocrisy? Hypocrisy is to say something and believe
something else. Allah Tala describes this opens it up for the
Quran, for us in the Quran, what is the reality of hypocrisy? Allah
says, Ida ja akal munafi Kun. Ida ja akal munafi Kun, remember the
time my Beloved Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi, wa sallam ja
AKA, they came to you who the munafiqi in the hypocrites. What
did they say? Kalu. Kalu. They said Nash had an Naka la
Rasulullah
as the Ulama amongst us. How much of emphasis there is in this.
You cannot possibly fault the statement na Shahad Shahadat. They
didn't just say they gave Shahadat. They bore testimony.
What testimony? Anna, Ka. Anna, one level of emphasis. Ka, second
level of emphasis, Lam. Third Level of emphasis, Lam carries the
meaning of Qassam and Naka. Three levels of emphasis, Shahadat, on
top of that, fourth level of emphasis and Naka. La Rasul Allah.
Without a doubt, we are telling you from the bottom of our hearts,
you are the Rasul of Allah. Wallahu yalamu Inna kala rasulu
Allah knows you are His Rasul. But wallahu, yashad Allah give
Shahadat in Al munafikina, lakadi boon, every one of them is a liar.
In other words, this lip service, outward declaration, stress upon
stress, emphasis upon emphasis, if the inside does not conform to it,
if the inside does not conform to it, in Allah's court, will not be
accepted. Walla, who Yash had inan munafina,
very, very severe warning is given to us in this and today,
unfortunately, when Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, out of his
shafaqat, out of his kindness, out of his compassion, gave us
warnings, told his ummah, told the believers
that Be careful of NIFA, be careful of hypocrisy, mamunafi,
keen of Madina, this is how They made declaration of the devotion
to Rasulullah Iman in Rasulullah Allah says they are liars. He
warned his umm. He said, Be careful of NIFA and hypocrisy. And
then he gave us three signs of NIFA, three signs of NIFA, three
signs of hypocrisy. He said, AYATUL munafi Talaat, AYATUL.
He's not a monarchic, but the signs are there. He's not a
monarchic, but the warning signal is there. He's not a munafiq. But
be careful. Don't take this lightly Today. Today. How lightly
we take it? Ya Rasul Allah, tell us what are the signs of
munafakkat? What are the signs of NIFA and who are the munafiq? What
will be there about in Al munafina, fit dark kil asfali,
minan na walan, tajid, ala HUM nasirah,
the Jahannam which Allah will give, Abu jahal and the Jahannam,
which Allah will give their own, is not as severe as the Jahannam
Allah will give the munafiti,
because with them, it was Kufa with Muna 15. Allah says, fit
dark. Kill asfali minanna, they will be in the lowest level of
jagni inan Muna 15, afidar, kill asfali, minanna, walantaji, RAla
HUM nasirah, and there will be no helpers for them.
And today, can I ask me Ashika Rasul Bota San Hey, say I love
rasulallah Muhammad sallall Islam says, oh my ummati, oh believer,
oh my follower. There are three signs of NIFA. There are three
signs of hypocrisy. What did he say? Either had that?
Why the akla? Akhlaf, Vaida tumena Khan,
he said, When He speaks he lies. When he speaks, he lies when he
makes a promise, he breaks his promise. When he is trusted or he
is given some Amanat, he misappropriates that trust.
This may sound very simple, but think my respected brothers, from
morning till now night, one day in our business places, one day in
seeking our livelihood. How many lies are being spoken? How many
promises are broken?
The man says seven days. Does he mean seven days, or does he mean
30 days and 60 days?
The man says something about the description. Does he mean what he
is saying
lies treachery. Instead of being the exception, has become the
norm.
Safa Nadi Allahu taala, and who comes to Rasulullah, sallAllahu,
alayhi wa sallam. We want to know how dangerous this is. Understand
it in the light of this hadith, he says, ayakun al Mumin bakhilan Ya
rasulallah, is it possible for a man to have Iman, for a man to
have Iman and be a coward? May Nabi said, possible, not light,
not advocated, not encouraged, but possible. Ayakun al Mumin jabanan
Ya rasulallah, can a man be a believer and a miser? He said,
possible, a believer and a coward. Possible.
Ayala Mumin bahil mais Ali and Iman, he said, possible, not like
ayamin jabanan, believer and coward. Again, any culture, what
they say, buzdil. Buzdil. Any culture, miserly person, they say,
Makki, choose you'll squeeze the oil out of a fly. No one likes
this. But both times, Rasulullah said possible, possible with iman.
Then the question was asked Aya konamin Kaban ya rasulallah, can
Amin be a prolific liar? He said that is not possible,
dishonesty, dishonesty and Iman are like oil and water. They will
not come together. They will not come together. And as I moon,
bibatin, Fi Raba, Dil Jannah, Leman, tarab, wahua, wahekana,
Mahan, Rasulullah said, oh businessman of my ummat, oh
follower of Muhammad, sallAllahu, sallam, whoever, wherever you are,
why I am using the word businessman in this hadith is not
businessman. I'll mention just now why I said businessman. Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
Make up your mind. Develop that level of iman that when you walk
into your shop or your business or your job take it upon yourself
that every time you open your mouth, you will not lie.
Regardless,
you will speak the truth. And Muhammad Sallallahu, Islam says A
day will come. A day will come that you are not just going to be
a janati. You are not just going to be a janati. I Muhammad
Sallallahu, Islam. Am Your guarantor of a home in the highest
jam,
if you will give up speaking lies, even in jest.
Karo bar Karna
dunya kamana, earning your livelihood.
Earning your livelihood, doing business. This is not against
Sharia. This is a great, great, great vasila and medium, and means
Walla by the Qassam of my Allah to earn Jannat.
And this is why. Now I will mention why I said businessman,
the first Hadith, business now is not mentioned. This hadith
businessman is mentioned. My NaVi said, a businessman of my ummat,
who is saduq, who is meticulously honest, who is amanad. In
other words, when he says seven days, it means seven days, not 30
days.
When he speaks he doesn't lie.
When he enters into a contract, he honors that. He is not deceitful.
He honors his word.
He protects his integrity. He is a flag bearer of what Islam means
when it means when it refers to business. My Nabi said that the
wali of Allah, the valley of Allah, who makes tahajjud every
night and who fast every day, he will not get the Jannat that Allah
will give this businessman.
Why? Because what is this businessman's Jannat? Atajiru,
sadhuman, nabigien was siddien, was shohada. Allah will raise this
way. Pari, this businessman tomorrow, with the ambiyari Musa
at Allah will raise him with the SID Allah will raise him with the
shohada, with the martyrs,
that businessman who will not lie, who will not cheat, who will not
be deceitful.
This is such business, where party is such a conducive means to earn
not just any Jannat, the highest Jannat,
I digressed, emotive language, evocative speech,
advertising. These are all commercial terms. These are
commercial terms, the top 10 Sahaba. The top 10 Sahaba, V VIP
among Sahaba, everyone of them were businessmen. Every one of
them were businessmen. Someone came and asked Rasulullah, sallam,
Ayu Kaspi, atiyab Ya rasulallah, what is the best at comes from
tahib. Tahib means pure, pure, pure, pure. Con si Kamay, sabse,
Pakis, gi ya, rasulallah. What is the purest earning a man can
acquire? What did he say? Purest means the highest, the most
virtuous, the most beloved in the sight of Allah. Earning is that
earning that you will acquire through the effort of your own
hands. Amalul yadi, amalul rajari Biya dehi, these are sahi ahadis.
These are Sahih ahadis. Islam tablig does not deter us from
business. It is only teaching us how to do business, what is
important, what is valuable in business, that bank balance is not
important, that till being full is not important. Emptying the shelf
is not important. Pulling wood, pulling the hood over the eyes of
your customers is not important. What is important. What is
important through your business and your Jannat that is important
and that sabak of iman, that sabak of iman cannot be learnt at home,
and it cannot be learnt in the marketplace.
For that, another Madan is required, another level of iman is
required, not virathati, Iman, not the Iman that we inherited.
Like I said, it is a very great favor of Allah. Majority of us
inherited Iman that we not denying this. This is a great favor of
Allah. Problem is we got stuck there. Problem is we are advancing
every aspect of our life, but this
and the clock of life is ticking. The clock of life is ticking.
One is what we are saying. What is the reality in the heart? Allah
does not say, we will reveal what is in the heart. Allah says, Waho
sale. MAF is sudur wahosud. A day is coming. We are going to crack
open that heart, and what is inside will be revealed
to fool the whole world. Is easy. I digressed, how much of true love
we have for Sunna, how much of true attachment. Don't take this
halka of Talim that the elders have cried their whole lives
trying to make leave the rest of the Ummat, even the workers,
realize the importance of it. Don't take it lightly.
This that select Small Group sits in the masjid, back at the masjid,
kalalakala Rasul, the rest of us just walk past.
Don't take that lightly.
Don't take the halka of Talim in your homes lightly.
Mahayana has almost 30 years
when he was asked the question about the entire masturbate
effort, entire mat effort.
What is the objective quantify? What is mastodra effort right now?
How many Jamaat, how many little, little children are crying because
of the separation from their mothers,
how much of kurmani and sacrifice is being given
jungles of Africa, women from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan,
Indonesia, how much of kurmani and sacrifice they are giving on any
given week? How many different mas talims are taking place all this
effort, he was asked one question, what's the object? What's the
object and goal behind all this? He said one simple answer, Garo ki
Talim. Garo ki Talim, Garo ki Talim. Establish the halka of
Talim in every home of the Ummat,
and what is this, halka of Talim today, unfortunately, the third
point of tablig has been sidelined,
even the tevasan in tablig for many years. He'll give a shandaar
first point, little bit on the second point, then he's khurushvi
Sabi Allah. Go out in the path of Allah. Third point. Sideline,
fourth point sideline, ailment. Zikr, ailman. Zikr, el man. Zikr,
Malaya, Sabha Rahmatullah said, this is the spine of this effort.
This is the Jaan of this effort. This is the what is this halka of
Tari? What is this ILM to introduce in the heart of every
ummati, the value of Amal
tomorrow morning, majority of this Masjid will be empty. Why?
Why will it be empty? Shortage of what Allah is prepared to give.
Hajis are returning now. Hajis are returning. Now, there are people
amongst us, even with weak Iman. How many years the person is
crying? I want to go for Hajj.
How many of us are crying? How expensive Hajj has become,
how many of us are looking with envy to to those who went
this is nothing wrong with this. This is a sign of iman, but
quantify, quantify what Allah is giving you in the ummati making
his Fajr Salah with Jamaat. What did my NaVi say? Man, Salah,
sukhai, jamaatin, Tama, Tam, Muhammad,
Muhammad a Mujtaba, Ahmad akhtaba, Shahid Mubashir, Nadir, Sadi
kulma, stoke Muhammad, Rasulullah sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam tells
his ummat that every day, spend one and a quarter hour in the
masjid at the time of Fajr, and Allah is going to give you one
complete Hajj. And Umrah, and
he didn't just say it one time. He said, Tama, Tama, Tama complete,
complete. And what is complete Hajj? What is complete Hajj? He
said, Al Hajj, Al mabru Lay salahu jazau, illal, Jannah. There is
nothing else but Jannat. Jannat is what Allah is going to give the
* who makes the Maur Hajj. My Nabi open the door for his ummat
and told them every day, make Fajr, Salah with Jamaat, and then
sit in the masjid till the time of Ishrat hajj and umrah come. Why is
the masjid empty? Not because of any shortage of Allah's treasures.
If I was a respected businessman and I told the people of Stanga,
whatever the name of Stanga is now, the names keep changing, I
lost track of it. But if I had to say that tomorrow morning, there
is a 10 million or 100 million Rand opportunity, if you are here,
what will happen
Walla, by the custom of May Allah, this Masjid will be too small.
Today we are going today, majority of the Ummat is descending on the
places of commercial enterprise to earn.
They are descending on the places of commercial enterprise to earn.
You ask the man, what are you going to earn? He says, I'm going
to earn my rosy my risk, my sustenance, my livelihood. Where
was he at the time of ajar he.
Where was he at the time of Fajr?
Walla, Allah, protect me. Allah, protect you. If he was not in the
masjid at the time of Fajr, when he descends on the job or
workplace, he is moving with the flag of shaitan. He wants risk
having angered razik.
He wants the tap to flow, having closed that tap, not just closed
the tap, destroyed that tap.
What kind of burka there is going to be? What kind of Blessing is
there going to be? What is this? This is when the Ummat has lost
the value of Amal Allah's Qassam. Don't take these Halakha of Talim
lightly. Call
Allah Kala rasoo, sallAllahu, alaihi salam. Listen to what has
been promised and know and understand. This is no politician
promising. This is no prolific liar promising. This is Allah
needs rasal, Allah walay wa sallam, more truthful, more
guaranteed nothing,
and more importantly, more importantly, understand Deen
seekness.
Deen seekness, DEEN comes by learning Deen, not just in a mat,
not just in a matab
Minal, mahadeel, lahat,
the sign of a believer, the sign of a believer is that he is like a
sponge for the knowledge of Deen right up till the last breath of
his life.
Many of us have this mindset. Many of us have this mindset. There's a
certain learning period, and then it ends for dunya. For dunya,
there's no stopping. Why is it we've switched the tap off when it
comes to learning Deen. Deen seek a hai Bai Deen comes by learning.
Deen the other day, one one Ali mentioned this. He said it's a
humorous example. He said he actually experienced it. Allah
knows best that somebody asked somebody by, you know what? You're
a Muslim, born a Muslim, what's the three furs of husal? So he
said, So bucket and towel.
Maybe it may seem amusing, but how many of us know the Ferraris of
Hus
where is the value for Deen
mankada il masjid, LA, you read one ya Illa and ya Tala makhayran,
or giving a person who comes to the masjid to sit in the haka of
Talim
today, leave the halka of Talim, that poor person who stands up and
give Elah, and we haven't even got time back to listen to that.
Allah. Masha, Allah, we are in a very big hurry. Very big hurry.
What is that person actually saying? My success, your success.
The success of the entire humanity lies in the obedience of Allah, in
the way of Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam. There is an
effort about this. There is a figure for this. There is a worry
for this. After the remaining Salah, we don't even have the
Talib to even hear him out, because we are in too much of a
hurry.
And this Hari, this Hari, how big warning may Navi salasam gave
about it.
I'm digressing already running out of time. But when ajib Hadith
rasulallah, Rasulullah Khali.
He said, there are two things. There are two things,
Allahu, Akbar, La yohaleha, Abdul,
Muslim, Illah, Dallal, Jannah,
la yo hafizu, aliha, a Abdul Muslim, Illallah Dallal, Jannah,
Allahu, Akbar, may all our lives be sacrificed upon our beloved and
noble master, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam. How beautifully he put
this.
He said, la you have is my ummah. There are two things I am telling
you, no person of iman, no person of iman, of my ummat, will protect
these two things you have. Aleha will protect these two things. In
other words, under any circumstances, they will never
leave without and what will Allah give them? Dakhalal, Jannah, they
are jannatis on this earth.
We want muskha. We want tawis. We want prescription for Jannat.
There is it?
He said two things, and then logically, logically, Muhammad,
sallAllahu, sallam, Sadhya, kulma, stoke al mubashiru, Nadir, adai,
Illallah Al muslimil Al muddefit, rahmatulil, Alameen, Nasir,
Mansur, Shahid, mashood, Ahmad, Muhammad, Mahi hashir AAQ Fateh,
khatim, Taha Abu Qasim. The list goes on,
525
Five Quran Hadith and kutube savika, 525
names in the praise of Muhammad Sallallahu, that personality is
saying, janati, janati, janati, if you will, protect these two
things. Abdul Muslim, oh person of iman, of my ummah, protect these
two things, and your Jannat is guaranteed, you are walking janati
on this earth. And then what does my Nabi say? Logically, it should
have been very difficult. He said,
It is very, very easy. It is very, very easy. But the tragedy Lamya,
Amal, bihima, illa Kalil, but very few of my ummat will do it.
Very few of my ummat will do it, but it is very, very easy. And
then he went on to explain how easy.
He said, after every first salah, Dalila, Allahu, Akbar, 10 times,
he said, This is 35 Salah a day. And he went on. He went on. He
didn't stop at one salah. He said, Five salah, 30 times five is 150
in Allah, 150 alalisan on your tongue, Allah's Mizan, this is
1500
and then he said, before you go to sleep at night, either Aha, Kul,
say 33 times. Subhanallah, 33 times. Alhamdulillah, 34 times.
Allahu, Akbar.
How difficult? How long does it take?
Sahaba, when they heard this, they were not like you and I, when they
heard this, they could not believe it.
They could not even contemplate it. They couldn't even realize it,
that this is so easy. And my Nabi is saying, LA, you have done
Muslim Illa, dakhal al Jannah. How is it possible that you are saying
such an easy thing, and you are saying very few of your ummat will
do it. You
want to know how few? Want to know how few at a busy business day,
look at the crowd that is in the masjid at the time of Asad
in summer. Look at what percentage of the Ummat is in the masjid at
the time of Fajr.
Because this was EFA of Muhammad, sallAllahu, Sallam without five
Salah without five Salah in the masjid is not possible. That's the
first requirement.
And when did he say this? He said it at a time. He said it at a time
that even the munafiq, if he had to crawl, also, would come for
Salah in the masjid
to that majma. He said, Those that do this, of my ummat will be very
few.
They said, How is it possible? Ya Rasul Allah? He said, the first
thing when the man goes to sleep, before he can go to sleep, ya ati
ahadokum, ya ATI Ilahi, ahadukum Shaitan will come for, you know,
we Moho, kabla and yakul
and shaitan will get him involved in raflat, so that he will go to
sleep in raflat Without the remembrance of
Allah and Yati. Ahadu kumfi, salatihi
the musalli Leave the rest of the Ummah, the one in the masjid,
shaitan, will come to him, and what will shaitan do? One
narration for you, that Kiru, who hajatahu, you
will tell him, Hey, by mashallah, you are in the masjid, but you
have got no time to listen to that Elan. You got no time for Talim.
You got no time for any figure. You got no time to sit in the
masjid, you have got a lot of things to get back to.
This is the direct translation of the words of my master salAllahu
alayhi wa sallam. He addressed the musalia of his ummat, and he said,
shaytan will come to you, and He will tell you you have forgotten a
lot of things that you have to attend to, of your dunya, as a
result of which the man will rush out of the masjid before taking
the time to remember Allah.
What is this? This is when the connection of the value of Amal is
not there. I digress this halakat of Talim in the womb in the
masjid, these Amal of dawat, these Amal of dawat, Dawa, Talim,
Ibadan, khidmat, by the Qassam of my Allah, understand my respected
brothers, these ishtimas, this call that is being made. This is
nothing to do with numbers. Is no agenda.
There's not trying to increase numbers. This is no organization.
This is that heart, that heart where Allah tells us, Allah warns
us, Allah warns us in the
Quran.
Allah, when Allah zikr won't be made, when Allah zikr won't be
made, when tears will not be shed in the yard of Allah, when the
eyes will become free to look at the daughters of others, when the
ears will become soil with the Haram music of this dunya, when
the environment will be rerula, hey, Allahu, Allah, then Allah,
protect you. Allah, protect me. May. Allah says these hearts will
become not like stone, but harder than stone.
The heart will become harder than stone. This is why the call of
Allah and is Rasul salaam, the value of Amal the Ummat will fail
to even identify with it.
This call, this call, take out time, God in the path of Allah.
This is not a numbers game.
This is Yahya ulkal. This is to give life. This is to soften these
hearts.
This call of Allah. Zikr, what did my NaVi say? Jedidu, imanakum,
jeddi, do Imana come? He said, refresh, renew your iman. Refresh,
renew your iman. How? Saba said, how? He said, bikatrati, Laila
hail, Allah, Laila hail, Allah, Laila hail, Lala lahayla, this
will soften the heart.
In this he said, In Adil, kolova tasda, he said kamaya Saul Hadid,
he said, like how steel gets hard, like how steel rust, like how
steel degenerates. He said, In the same way the heart degenerates,
the heart becomes hard, the heart becomes rusty. Sahaba said, Maji
la aun ABI of Allah, how can we remove the rust? How can we
rectify this condition? How can we soften the heart? He said, till
our till Quran, till our till Quran, till our till Quran,
attach, Drown yourself in the Quran.
These Amal of dawat and tablig that the Ummat is being invited,
exhorted to come upon by the Qassam of May Allah, the whole of
Quran and Hadees is full of this,
that this is a this is not linked to some organization or some
movement.
I digress. One is virasatti Iman. One is virasathi Iman, inheritors
of iman. The other is the reality of iman. Where is the proof a day
is coming, hearts will be split open. Allah says, We will reveal
what is in the heart. Outward appearance can be correct. What is
in the heart, they say. Al waladu, Sir, only abi, how much real love
you have for sunna. Look at the man's children.
What is the hairstyle?
What is the dressing of that child?
How much
we're not here to run anybody down. Maybe we the last meal we
had at home was supper. Maybe it was lunch. Maybe it was the
breakfast. Or maybe at the time of breakfast, our children are not
awake, maybe it was last night's supper. Take cognizance. Consider
those little children that partook of that meal with us. My Nabi, a
little child, little child, little child, the son of Umi Salma,
RadiAllahu dalana, or the adopted son of Rasulullah sallallahu
sallam, he says I was in the care of Muhammad Sallallahu sallam,
because my mother was married to Rasulullah sallallahu. Sallam, he
says, I entered the company of Nabi Isla Islam. I partook of one
meal, one meal, one meal with Muhammad Sallallahu, alayhi wa
sallam, this was in Madina. My Nabi was more than 53 years of
age. This was a five or a six year old child. This child took this
lesson to his cover. He said, I was five or six years old.
Muhammad Sallallahu, sallam, Rasulullah. Sallall Islam. I was
in his house. He saw me eating. I was eating incorrectly. Rasulullah
sallallahu, Sallam reminded me with love, with shafaka, with
compassion, he said, samilla kulbhi, aminik, Kul me ma Ali, he
said, before you eat, many of us this muzakav sunna takes place in
our homes. Kara of the Sunna of the sleeping of Rasulullah,
sallAllahu, sallam.
How many homes are they waking up in the morning with the flag of
Rahman, where the whole house wakes up at the time of Fajr,
what is valuable? What are we going to take with us by the
Qassam of May Allah, verse upon verse in the Quran May Allah
reminds us over and over and the wealth, the investments, whatever
you will, gather and amass of this world, whatever is visible to you,
whatever is visible to you at the time of your more than death, is
coming to an end.
It's not an investment. It's not coming with you. It's not going to
benefit you.
It's not the legacy. It's not the legacy. What is.
Legacy. Who is the wealthy man, the wealthy man of my ummah, is
the man who is wealthy in Amal, is the man who is wealthy in Taqwa.
Is the man who is wealthy in connecting with Allah. Is the man
who has planted the seeds of Iman and Deen in his children. He is
wealthy. Otherwise his bank balance can have six zeros, seven
zeros, eight, zeros, nine, zeros, 10, zeros. By the custom of May
Allah, by the rabbi Muhammad Sallallahu, sallam, he is a
pauper.
He is the pauper of Amal. He is the pauper of the Kabal. He is the
pauper of hashar. He is the pauper of kiammat. My Nabi said Yota
birajuli Samini Oman kyama, a very wealthy and a very prominent man,
in terms of dunya, will be brought on the Day of Judgment. Then he
will be put on the correct scales and what will be his weight. La,
you. Savi Jana habaw, he will not equal to the wing of one mosquito
also
all his wealth, whatever he has amassed, whatever legacy is
behind, whatever seeds he has planted in the Sands of Time, the
greatest conqueror in the annals of history, Genji is Khan. No one
knows where he is buried. Also, where is his wealth? Where is the
kingdoms? How many lessons they are around us. Remind me us again
and again. Remind me us again and again. What are the seeds you are
planting? Sahaba understood. Salaba Understood salaba
Understood wealth is Amal, wealth is Deen, wealth is Iman, wealth is
taqwa, wealth is akhlaq. Wealth is the character of Muhammad,
sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam. What are the seeds we are planting?
What is the effort we are making? What is the direction this heart
is going in?
This is Quran, this is Quran. And what is Quran? Quran is not
fables. Quran is not stories. Quran is a reality. Quran is a
reality. Subba hallelujah, mafi Sama, Wati walar, Sabba halala,
mafi Sama, Wati walar, everything in the heavens, everything in the
earth, what is May Allah say? Says Allah is saying makes tasbih of
Allah.
And tasbih is not what we think. Tasbih sit with one tasbi And say
subhanallah Olam, I explained, they say tasbih is Tanzi. Tanzi
tasbi is to declare Allah's purity. Allah is back. Allah is
pure. Allah is pure of what of a beginning. Allah is pure of an
ending. Allah is pure of shape. Allah is pure form. Allah is pure
of color, Allah is pure of direction. Allah is pure of
defect. Allah is pure of ugliness. Allah is pure of weakness. Allah
is pure of shortcoming. Allah is pure,
pure of anything negative, Sabba, khalila and What is Allah saying?
Everything in the heavens and everything in the earth is
continuously declaring Allah's purity. And then Allah goes on
Khalid maluk, creator, created, what is the first separate quality
of creator? Quran tells us who will Oh, well, Wal Ahir Wal, lahir
Wal, Martin, wahu Wabi, kulishay in alim,
free of a beginning, free of an ending, overpowering over
everything concealed from everything, nothing concealed from
him. Wo huwabi, kulishay in alim, and he has knowledge of every
atom, every grains worth of this entire creation,
the puny human intellect can never do justice to recognizing the
greatness, the majesty, the glory, the kibri, the Jalal of my Allah.
I digressed earlier. Like I said,
what we love, you will want to extend the conversation what you
love you will speak about not one time, repeatedly, over and over
and over again. Musa Ali, salamatil, Kabi, Yamini Kaya.
Musa, what is in your right hand here? Saya was sufficient, yet
extended the conversation we know like I gave the example. Layla
Majnu. Majnu saw the bird that came from the direction of the
town of Layla hamamat, nilwadi, Anita mannami. He says, Oh bird,
you came from the direction of My Beloved.
May Allah give you fresh water, Green Springs, beautiful gardens
to fly around, and may you be sustained. May you become right,
May you become healthy. Taran Nami, Taran Nami, tell me about my
beloved and abi nilana, abili Nana, mazalari, shukina ni Mahala
gives the DUA upon dua gives the birth. But when you speak of my
beloved, extended, extended.
Extended ABI nila, the advertising commercial enterprises of the
world have understood this, millions, if not billions, of
dollars spent. Repetition, repetition, repetition. Whether
it's Coca Cola, whether it's Pepsi, it's just using that as an
example. The color scheme for the last century is exactly the same.
The message is exactly the same. Coke adds life. I don't know what
Pepsi does, or whatever it is, but over and over and over again, so
that in the jungle of Africa, the little child also, if you can't
say Pepsi is saying peppy,
it's only, it's only the tablig Mobile League of today wants to
know, why the same kitab? Why the same dawat,
why they don't change the Bayan, tell me something new we haven't
understood that cements itself in the heart that is repeated over
and over and over again.
Allah wants to teach you the lesson of sabak, the sabak of iman
that a stick is a snake. When Allah wants, a stick will harm
you. In Allah wants, and a snake is a stick when Allah wants, it
will benefit you. When Allah wants, nothing you see can harm
you or nothing you see can benefit you. Kula, you see, Bana, illama,
kata, Allahu, anhu, Lana walahi, wa minu, tell them in the heavens
and the earth come you unless Allah has decreed, who am? Allah
is the mullah. Allah is the protection. Allah is the
direction. Wa Allah, he fail. Minun, place your trust for
Pharaoh in Allah. Make your direction Allah, that one Sabah
can listen how many times Allah repeats the incident in the Quran,
the most truthful and the most eloquent of speech? In other
words, it has to be said again and then again and then again. This is
emotive speech, evocative speech, first opening,
opening verses in the Isha, Salah, for those of us that were
listening attentively, ya Ayo. Hala, Dina Amanu, yay yo. Hala,
Dina Amanu, yayo. Hala, Dina Amanu, this, Allahu, Akbar, what
is this? Ya, you are ladeena Aman,
this. You will find
this. You will find ulama, say 89 times in the Quran,
more than 6000 verses. Quran is a legacy of love. It's a
conversation between us and Allah. It is kalamala. It is kalamala. It
is it is the greatest form of dhikr, wala, vikru, lahi, Akbar,
Quran Allah is Noor. Quran is Noor. Allah is Majid. Quran is
Majid. Allah is Hakim. Quran is Hakim Sachi Kalam, such a Kalam,
Sachi Kalam, yet same Sabha repeated over and over and over
again
to instill the magnitude in the heart. Yayohaina, more than 6000
verses. Sometimes Allah says, yah Kitab, yay ladeena, hadu, yayo,
hanasara,
yayo Insan. These are general addresses. General addresses, only
89 times plus minus Allah addresses you and I directly, oh,
people of iman, yayo, halavina amanu and then evocative speech,
advertising. Hal adullukum, Hal adullukum, Hal adullukum, to put
water in here. What should I not show you. Should I not show you?
Should I not show you what my Allah, what is it it? People of
iman are being told, what is it? What are these? What is it tijara,
tijara business. Allah says, I want to show you one investment
opportunity. I want to show you one business chance, one business,
Quran business, business? Allah is saying, tijara, tijara, why?
Because your hearts are close to this. So Allah takes you in the
direction out of His mercy, what your heart is attached to. But
what type of a business is this? Tunji kumin adabin alim. Tunji
kumin ADA bin alim, not your temporary business, not your chord
Dene, Wali, Jaha, not what you're going to leave behind. I am going
to show you such a business that will save you from a terrible
punishment. Evocative language, coming back to that hadith of
Rasulullah, sallall Islam, Allah, Hal musham mirun lil Jannah,
Allah. Hal. Musham, mirun Lil Jannah, oh my Sahaba, is there
anyone of you that truly desires Jannat?
Is there anyone of you that truly desires Jannat? Is there anyone of
you that truly one of you that will truly understand the value of
Jannat? Why? Why? Because Allah's Jannat is not cheap.
Allah, Jannat is not cheap. Coming back. I digressed earlier. Ahasi,
Banas, ay Abu Asmaa, WA hum, laif tanone. Allah says, What do you
think we are going to give you Iman? We are going to,
proverbially give you Iman in the cradle of your mother. You are
going to be born with the silver spoon of iman in a home of
Muslims, WA home law, you have the noon and you are not tell you the
more value to give you this, and you won't be tested. There's no
price tag
that you can make, gennama, Ghena, Baba, your whole life. And don't
worry about what's going on around you. That is the price of iman
that you can amass this dunya, run behind this dunya, and that is the
price of ima no
ala Moshe, mirun, Lil Jannah, my Nabi said to Sahaba, is there
anyone of you that will make Kashmir for Jannat,
burn the midnight oil for Jannat, put your shoulder wheel to the
wheel For Jannah. Is there anyone of you that will finish yourself
for Jannat? And then he doesn't just stop there. He says he here,
emotive language, evocative speech. Here, Wallahi, Rabbi
Kaaba,
he says, By the Qassam of my Allah lahat, there is no price tag for
Jannat.
Lahat, ralaha,
kasrum, Mashi nahrum, murid,
fakiha, kathirah, nadija, Zoja hasana, Jamila,
Hafi fi habara, wanadara fi Maka min Salima, bahiya. There's no
easy way to translate this. He says there is no price tag. Jannat
is beautiful. Streams, janati palaces. Jannat is mind blowingly
beautiful maidens. Jannat is fruit. Jannat is embellishments.
Jannat is forever. Jannat is never coming to an end. Sahaba mouth is
in our water is in the mouth. Ya rasulallah, we are ready for this.
Jannat. What does my Nabi say? Go in the part of Allah.
Go in the part of Allah, Tunji, kuminae to minu Nabil, Allah wa
rasullihi wa tuja He dunafi Sabil, Allah, beamwalikum, one fusikum.
This is a business you can never lose out. It will save you from a
terrible punishment. What is this May Allah, this life is an Amanat.
This wealth is in Amanat. Your intelligence is in Amanat, your
capabilities are in Amanat, for what may Allah for that which
Muhammad Sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam finished himself
how he cried. How he cried today, people are dying, not in 10s, not
in 20s, not in hundreds, but in 1000s on kufr in front of us, not
one tear is being shed.
Today, the servants in our homes who are finishing themselves on a
paltry wage are dying on kufr, and our hearts are not crying for
them.
Today, the masjids are empty. Our youth are gone in one direction.
Our daughters are dancing naked on the stage. Janam is burning in
every direction. Ashika, Rasul, where why is the heart not crying?
Why is the heart not bleeding? Halatan, conditions in this world
are not just happening accidentally.
This is a testimony, a testimony of that time when my NaVi said,
the nations of the world will invite one another to the
destruction of my ummat despite their numbers, when my ummat will
become intoxicated with the love of dunya, and when my ummat will
fear death, they What does fear death means? They will hold back
utilizing their lives and their wealth for the propagation of Deen
at that time, he said, the nations of the world will invite one
another to chew up my ummat and my ummat will become defenseless.
What is this? The testimony, testimony of the conditions that
the Ummat brought on itself.
This ishtimas, and this call that is being made by this is not some
agenda.
This is the solution, solution to every problem, solution to the
hardships facing humanity. Solution to every difficulty that
one, one ummati has to be linked and attached to the masjid. One,
one ummati has to be held by his hand with the Dardan cry of
Muhammad. SallAllahu, salami Nahar Walla Wa ma Abu Asmaa, himI
Jabbar. Let's call him the Wakil. Let's call him a mosaic woman.
Kaffir wala Katan.
Up to 150
verses ulama have enumerated where Allah, Allah is pleading with
Rasulullah, sallam, oh, my Nabi, are you going to finish yourself
because they are not accepting. Where is this dar where is the
pain? Where is the identity today of the Ummat with death?
This is why, when someone asked, someone asked husband, Abedin
sabrahmatullahi, istimaka, maksad, kya hai, what we think intizaam,
what we think Stanger must do a better job than than Durban, and
Durban must do a better job than Newcastle.
Ishtima, ka maksartya hai, what is the object of ishtima? He said,
the object of ishtima is Toba.
What is toga? Nadama, Regret.
Regret of what the Allah, Allah Allah Tere di Hui, Jaan o di Hui
mal Amanat, himat Kya,
the wealth you gave me and the life you gave me was a trust. I
misappropriated that. And what is Kiana? Khyana is zulum. Kiana is
zulum. Kiana is oppression, and my NaVi said, zulum will be darkness
in dunya and in akhirat.
So from the heart ishtima is Toba regret.
And ishtima, in other words, collective Toba, collective Toba
that the life and wealth which Allah, we oppress the entire
humanity by not using it where we were supposed to use
it, and then to change the direction. Change the direction,
change the direction. And Allah's Mercy is such, if the Toba is
sincere and followed up with changing the direction, what does
Allah say? Allah Manta wa Aman wa amelaman saliha for ULA ika Yuba.
Allah's Mercy is
such adopt the correct direction. Allah says, Not only we will
forgive you, not only we will accept you, not only we will take
you further, but all what you lost in the past. We will change it as
good deeds, we will write it down as if you did the correct thing
from the beginning. This is ishthima, not just to attend for
48 hours, not to mark some register. No, no. Ishnaka, Kesh,
Jamaat moving in the path of Allah.
So who in this gathering, if you haven't given four months. How
many more ishtimas Are we waiting for? How many more meats and
janasas are we waiting for? How many more sunsets are we waiting
for?
Recently, I was in Australia, 100 years have passed since the Ummat
has been reminded 100 years and still you haven't given four
months. What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for?
Are we waiting for another NaVi to come? Are we waiting for Malaika
to come down? So those of us who haven't been for four months, now
is the time. Now is the time we want to in this majma, to stand up
through the Barkat of the ishtima with regret in our heart. Ya
Allah, 100 years of tabrigan, I still haven't given four months.
Who is ready in this much man, make near. Stand up now. This near
is dua ya. Accept me, whoever we are, four months in the path of
Allah. Stand up. Mashara, don't wait for others. Safir, tajid,
Phil are there? It was an nasabi in nirait, falma, ay of SI
beautiful he put it. He said, stagnation is death. Stagnation is
death. Look at water. When it's flowing, it's alive. It gives
life. When it stagnates, it stinks and it becomes rotten.
The same for the summat. By Harkat. The Barkat of this ummat
is in Harkat. Don't be deceived.
This is ummat of Harkat in narak. Islamidaya ramanabhi didn't
describe her, didn't, didn't equate us with a well, he equated
us with a rain cloud. Because the rain cloud moves, it doesn't,
doesn't stay in one place. It.
