Holy Quran
rajim, Shah rum Abu, avim, we
are now fasting In the
month of Ramadan. Allah says in the Quran shahru Ramadan, the
month of Ramadan is the month wherein Allah has revealed the
Quran. Allah,
the Quran was revealed in the month of Ramadan
on Laylatul Qadr, the Night of Power. And this particular night
ALLAH is given only to this
ummah Shahar, because of the greatness of the Quran Allah has
given us. Every year, there's one particular night in the month of
Ramadan that is considered to be better than 1000 months, more than
83 years. So whatever you do in that particular night is
considered by Allah. Allah will reward to the day of qiyana as if
you have done good deeds for more than 83 years. Allah
would only nurse. Allah says in this Quran that we've revealed in
the mana Ramadan is a guidance for all of mankind.
Are you Allah, my beloved ones?
If Hamil lahija Hidden, please have a good understanding of the
words of ALLAH,
but abusya, after Allah has commanded us to fast the mandar
from Allah. And Allah explained that the reason why I've made the
fasting compulsory in Mandarin Allah Kun tak takun so that you
can become of the mutakin, the best people. Allah wants all of us
to be of the best people, the people of piety, people of Taqwa.
And then Allah means in this ayah, Shah ru rah ban al lahi un sila
fil Quran, to confirm
that it is impossible to become of the mutaki If you are not
connected to the Quran Allah,
now, please let us follow again, because this is a crucial point.
Allah says, ya IWA LADEE na Amanu, kuti bahala Kumar, kuti Baal, and
then soon after that, Allah says, shahru Ramadan, Al Nadi unsilafi
Quran. The month of Ramadan is a month where in Allah has made that
Allah has revealed the Quran to make sure that we understand, if
you want to become of the muttaqim, you must be connected to
the Quran. Listen to what Allah says right at the beginning of the
Quran,
immediately after Suratul Fatiha, Allah says, alif lame, Dali Kal
kita, Abu la rebafi, Udal Lin,
this book, this great book.
La rebafi, there's no doubt in the book of Allah. And
then Allah says, and this book is a guidance for the people of
taqwa,
look at the connection of the Quran, and if you want to become
of the mutakim,
my beloved ones, the Quran, being the word of Allah,
is The most precious book on the face of the earth. It is
worthwhile to repeat that statement. The Quran is the word
of Allah, and it is the most precious book on the face of the
earth. It is more valuable than anything else in our position. In
our position,
sometimes there's something that is something valuable, but it's
not in our position. It belongs to somebody else, but the most
valuable thing that Allah has given us
in our position.
In our possession is the Holy Quran. It is the message and the
official communication between Allah and us, the official
communication, communication directly from Allah to us. So
my
dear beloved ones, we ask ALLAH SubhanA to forgive us and pardon
us for our shortcomings and our negligence regarding the Holy
Quran.
But this is the time,
and this is the month to change things around.
The month of Ramadan is here for us to reform and to renew. So this
is the time. There is no better time to change things around where
the Quran is concerned, and
that we make that crucial decision
to make more time for the Quran and
to show more love and respect and concern for the book of Allah
Ramatu. Mean,
I want to draw your attention
to a question that Allah is asking.
And Allah is asking the question to each one of us, to
each and every Muslim
time, for the believers to connect their hearts with the Quran.
Listen to the words that Allah is using the hearts, not only the
mouth, not only reading to connect your heart. Isn't it time?
And how are we going to respond?
It will be.
It will be disrespectful not to respond to Allah,
you, my dear brother and sister, you must now say in your heart,
after you've heard the question that Allah has revealed in the
Mandarin to you and to me, you must now say in your heart, Oh
Allah, I am going to respond immediately. I am going to connect
my heart with the Quran ya Allah
that is proper respect
to Allah. Quran Wa Allahu, the best of you
is he who learns the Quran and he who teaches the Quran to others?
The best of you are those who learn the Quran and those who
teaches the Quran to others say, Oh, beloved Nabi Muhammad.
Furthermore, my be their beloved ones,
all males and females, young and old, who are associated with the
Quran, who are involved with the Quran, who are connected the Quran
are referred To as the family of Allah,
and they are referred to as the special servants of Allah, subhana
wa taala. And this, this is an honor given to no other in the
history of mankind, Allah.
This honor
has not been given to anybody else, only to the ummah of
Sayyidina, Muhammad, sallAllahu, alaihi wasallam, and listen to
what the NABI Muhammad said,
Ibn nalila, mean a nurse, verily, from amongst mankind, there are
those who are Allah's family.
Kalu man whom, ya rasulallah, the sahabat in us. Who are these
people, O Messenger, Allah and our beloved, nabili Muhammad implied,
whom, Ahlu, Quran, Allah, waha satu. They are the people of the
Quran. They are the family of Allah.
It is a known fact, Allah has got no family. SubhanAllah. Glory be
to Allah. Allah has got no children. Allah got no brothers
and sisters. Astafir, Allah.
Allah, Allah has got no mother and father Kuhl. Allah. Allah is
alone. Allah is unique.
But just imagine the people that are associated with the Quran
and connected to the Quran and love the Quran and read the Quran
and memorize the Quran. They are considered to be the family of
Allah
waha satu, and they are the most special people in the eyes of
Allah SubhanAllah. This is not just another jamuah. This is a
Jumah that you must decide from today onwards, you're not going to
waste your time anymore. You are going to be connected to the
Quran.
This is a crucial decision. Life is all about making the right
decision.
Gone are the days when we look at sports and so peace and films,
whole day and whole nights and no time for the Quran. Oh
beloved. Nabi Muhammad said, Yati Allah nurse is a man on the Quran
of your word in one A time will come. And my people, they will,
they will be on the one side of the world, and the Quran will be
on the other side of the world, far away. What does it mean?
They've got no time for the Quran.
Please. Muslims of South Africa, get involved and associate the
Quran in a serious way, in a determined way,
turn your house around
to a house of the Quran. Allahu Akbar,
turn your house around to a house of the Quran.
Teach your children to love the Quran,
My Dear mothers and fathers and grandfathers and grandfathers and
mothers, did you realize that this is the advice of our beloved Nabi
Muhammad? Ali said, wa salam, one of the things that you need to
teach your children, says Rasulullah, teach him to love the
Quran and teach him to love Rasulullah. SallAllahu, alaihi
wasallam. Just imagine, just imagine you have children that
love Allah, that love Rasulullah and love the Quran,
they don't love Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston and all these
sinners. They love the Quran.
They can't go wrong.
It is your responsibility. It is your duty, and it is highly
possible. Children are beautiful. They have been born with a natural
instinct to love Allah.
They are born with a natural instinct to love Rasulullah.
They are born with a natural instinct to love the book of
Allah. It is you, the parents that's going to take them further.
InshaAllah,
beloved mothers and fathers
and grandmothers and grandfathers, I always include the grandmothers
and grandfathers, because don't think that you are excluded. No,
you are the grandfather, the grandmother, the big father, the
big mother.
You must also take responsibility. You play important role in the
upbringing of your grandchildren.
Grandchildren are naturally close to the grandparents. Wallahi,
so mothers and fathers and grandmothers and grandfathers make
sure that at least one of your children or grandchildren are
going to learn to become hafizokuran.
Mawlana Ali Gaudin made a powerful and a profound statement. He says,
Every child must be given the opportunity to memorize the Holy
Quran Allah.
With the memorization of the Quran, Allah is going to protect
you. Allah is going to protect the family. Allah is going to protect
the community, the people in the Gaza in Palestine, please make dua
for them. But look at their understanding.
A few years ago, they say they came to teach their children, most
of their children, to learn hafizu Quran. You know why? Because they
say this is the understanding of the Quran. And this ayah in
particular, Allah says in nahnu, nazdna, vikra, in Lahu, lahavi
Dun, we have revealed the Quran, and we will preserve the Quran.
Now they under their understanding is if we are going to memorize the
Quran.
All and Allah is going to preserve us, Allah. Allah is
going to preserve us,
honorable, brothers and sisters. This is my special appeal.
I want to say it with tears in my eyes. This is a special appeal.
Please support those people who teach our children the
memorization of the Quran.
Please support and help those children, young girls and young
boys that are memorizing the Quran, sitting whole day, spending
hours of the night to memorize the Quran be in their support. Yell
them. Make dua for them, encourage them.
So the appeal is for each and everyone. If we are not harvestful
Quran that we can play a major role,
and we yell these Hafiz schools and these teachers and those
children within near that Allah must consider us also to be of the
family of Allah, because our concern for the Quran, our love
for the Quran,
I'm saying again,
all of us, we met hafizu Quran,
but we can support and help to make sure that our children are
going to memorize the Quran. They are the future leaders of this
community. Just imagine if most of our children become hazu Quran.
What the community will we? Will we have, in the future, Allah, and
not only memorize the Quran, they look by the Quran, they've got the
character of the Quran.
Now, what must mean, part of the special appeal is that we support,
we support the half institutions in South Africa, wherever they
are.
If, if the people of the Rasulullah says the best of you
are those who learn the Quran and teach it to others,
then we must make sure that these institutions must be the best
institutions. They must have the best facilities so that these
children become the best leaders for the ummah of Sayyidina,
Muhammad in SallAllahu, Sallam
jawat must win.
I also want to add
that one of our very successful institutions in Cape Town and in
South Africa is jambiya to Quran.
And I want to say in honor
of one of our great fathers of this community, Sheik Yusuf bully,
who was the founder of jambiya to Quran,
and Allah has honored him.
The reason, one of the reasons why this school is so successful,
because she used to bully at the concern and the love and at the
great concern that people must read the Quran correctly. He was
very strict,
and Allah's granted Alhamdulillah that the institution that he has
established is one of the successful and most successful
institutions of of of Cape Town and South Africa, Alhamdulillah.
So give your support to the institutions. Give your support to
Jamia to Quran. I also want to make note that last year we had a
pledge line for Jamia to Quran. I was part of the people on ITV the
appeal is to all South African Muslims to support. Make it the
support last year was very overwhelming. We make BAA that
this year must be even more successful.
Inshallah, Abu Asmaa,
unfortunately, beloved ones, our time is almost out.
And remember,
soon,
very soon, Malakal modu is going to knock on your door and say to
you, your time is out. The time is over.
So may Allah grant us that we make this Ramadan the best Ramadan
ever,
because no one in the masjid, young and old has got any
guarantee that you will be still alive in this Ramadan. So make it
the best Ramadan ever.
Watu wa illallah, and make sincere Toba to Allah.
Cry in front of Allah for our wrongdoings. Don't say by the way,
Abu layu
sa Allah, forgiveness and may Allah give me Toba. No ask with
tears in your eyes, Ya Allah, please forgive me, Ya Allah, for
all my wrong doings.
Is I regret Nadin to I regret what I've done of wrong. Ya Allah, unto
the word you are the most unforgiving you are the word you
will never refuse any repentance. And that is the truth. Listen to
what Abu Dhabi Nabi Muhammad says. Ata Ibu, mean, dambihi, kamalahu,
a person that returns and repents of his sins by Allah. It is as if
he has never, ever done anything wrong, clean, because he came back
to Allah sincerely. And Abu ad Nabi Muhammad says, kundubi Adam,
each and every child of Nabi Adam makes mistakes and wrongdoings and
evil doings, but the best of them are those who return to Allah.
Must mean, as you know, for the last 25 years, I remind you that
you are, if you are negligent with the Salah,
please come back to Allah.
Thank Allah that you are still here. Just imagine if Allah to
take you away from before today, and you will still neglect for the
salah. The famous Hadith that you know, I'm just reminding the Nabih
Muhammad says any person that leaves this world whilst he or she
was neglectful with a Salah, Allah, don't want to see you. The
devkiyama Allah is not interested in all your good deeds. You could
have gone for Hajj every year.
You could have given millions to the poor, but because of your
negligence of the Salah, the Malaika will come and tell you and
speak to you, Allah, don't want to speak to you. And they will tell
you your your place is there with the kufar and with the words of
kufar.
So I also
want to end off again, we haven't heard from Rasulullah for a long
time to guarantee to the Jannah,
you know, and I repeat it every week, but Alhamdulillah, I'm
excited. I'm very excited to say it to you again, because it comes
from the best leader ever, our beloved Nabi Muhammad Ali said
Muslim, and the words of Rasulullah are more valuable than
all the money in the world. Rasulullah says it manuli Sit and
Kumu Janda guarantee for me six and I will guarantee you the
Jannah. Oh fu Ida had to carry out your promise the first one,
ustuko, Ida had that to guarantee for me you will speak the truth
that will be part of your guarantee to the Jannah,
the third one, Rasulullah says, carry out your responsibilities. I
always remind my honorable brothers, one of your
responsibilities is to look after your wife, to honor your wife, to
respect your wife to love your wife.
The fourth one, Rasulullah says, How have you do? Furu jakun,
guarantee for me, you're going to protect your private parts.
The fifth one, and that's a crucial one, because many of us,
we are victims. Only victims. We are perpetrators. Rasulullah says,
guarantee for me, even a lower yogis don't look at haram.
The * is easily available. There are so many
Muslims looking at *. Allow me to say, sis, astafir,
Allah.
In front of Allah, you looking at *, and Allah is looking
at you. Rasulullah says, You guarantee for me, you're going to
lower your gaze. You're going to protect your eyes from haram. That
will be part of your guarantee to the Jannah Allah, and the last
one, the NABI Muhammad says, guarantee for me you're going to
keep your family together.
Keep your family together. How can you not talk to your own brother,
your own sister, your own cousin, your own family, your own
neighbor, your own friend? Know Janata was named we are in the
month of Ramadan, the month of mercy, the month of forgiveness,
whatever you've done of wrong, 100 times, a million times, Allah will
forgive you. Why can't you forgive?
So you keep your family together. If you are prepared to forgive and
overlook you, keep your family together if you've got the correct
understanding that all your family members, they are human beings.
They're not Malaika, they're not prophets, they are like you, full
of mistakes and wrongdoings. So forgive them, you guarantee for
me.
You keep your family together. I will guarantee you the Jannah I
will do learn a shaven regime.
We end off with a peace of speech. Allah says in Quran law heaven,
Quran Allah, jaban la raita, who has been there if we had to reveal
the Quran and the mountains, you would have seen the mountains
crumble into pieces, humbling itself, crumbling into pieces out
of respect and honor and fear for the words of Allah, subhana wa
taala, watil Qalam fell Allah says, We give you these type of
examples.
Allah give these of examples for us. La Allahu, Yata, FAQ Karun, so
that we can contemplate and ponder as mean. So once again, may Allah
grant us a Ramadan Kareem,
a generous Ramadan, a Ramadan full of khair in barakah and may Allah
grant us, as we meet every week
that we will meet in the Jannah and enter the door of Rayyan, the
one, one of the eight doors of The Jannah is only prepared for the
people, for the umbrella, where fasted the manta Ramadan,
rasulallah,
enemy.
