Rabbi shramy Wah nuk ADA Tamil, Liska cowli,

00:21:44 --> 00:21:48

respected

00:21:50 --> 00:21:51

ulama,

00:21:52 --> 00:21:56

my beloved mothers and fathers, beloved sisters and brothers and

00:21:56 --> 00:21:59

honorable and beloved youth and children, I greet you all with the

00:21:59 --> 00:22:03

Universal greetings of love and peace and honor and respect and

00:22:03 --> 00:22:07

understanding and mercy. Assalamu alaikum. Warahmatullahi

00:22:09 --> 00:22:14

wa Barakatuh Alhamdulillah. We thank Allah subhana wa Taala for

00:22:14 --> 00:22:16

all the favors that Allah has bestowed upon us,

00:22:17 --> 00:22:20

and we thank Allah subhana wa Taala for granting us again, the

00:22:20 --> 00:22:22

honor and the privilege to be in the Jumah. And

00:22:24 --> 00:22:28

we thank Allah for the greatest favor, and that is that Allah has

00:22:28 --> 00:22:33

chosen us and selected us and handpicked us to be part of the

00:22:33 --> 00:22:38

ummah of la ilaha, illaLlah, Muhammadu, rasulallah. We honored

00:22:38 --> 00:22:44

Muslim by chance or by luck, Allah says, He is the one that has

00:22:44 --> 00:22:47

chosen you. So we can't thank Allah enough.

00:22:49 --> 00:22:53

Manashadu, Allah, ILAHA, illAllah, wahdahul, Shari Kala, and we bet

00:22:53 --> 00:22:57

testimony that no one has got the right to be worshiped except Allah

00:22:57 --> 00:23:02

alone. And we also be testimony that our beloved Nabi Muhammad,

00:23:02 --> 00:23:06

sallAllahu, Sallam is the final and the greatest message of Allah

00:23:06 --> 00:23:12

Al qawil, the one they said, Oh Yom al Qiyamah, Abdul ya Salatin,

00:23:13 --> 00:23:15

the people closest to me on the Day of Qiyamah,

00:23:16 --> 00:23:17

and believe it or not,

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

the people first in line to enter the Jannah through the shafa of

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

rasulallah. Are those people who have put the most Salawat under

00:23:28 --> 00:23:33

Rasulullah, sallAllahu, sallam. So my first word of advice for your

00:23:33 --> 00:23:37

honorable selves today is to increase the Salawat on the NABI

00:23:37 --> 00:23:38

Muhammad Ali said Muslim,

00:23:41 --> 00:23:45

it is high time that we need to appreciate that the Rabi Muhammad

00:23:45 --> 00:23:49

Ali said to Islam, if you just put one salah, or like we call in Cape

00:23:49 --> 00:23:53

Town, Salawat, one Salah and Rasulillah, salaam, then Allah

00:23:53 --> 00:23:57

puts immediately 10 mercy from Allah on you. In other words, if

00:23:57 --> 00:24:01

you put 100 salawat and Rasulillah, sallAllahu, wasallam,

00:24:01 --> 00:24:06

then Allah puts on you every day 1000 Mercy of Allah, Subhan wa

00:24:06 --> 00:24:10

taala, Allah Mubarak, ala habi na bih Kareem, in

00:24:12 --> 00:24:16

this awla hour, we ask Allah to put Salah in Salaam and Baraka

00:24:16 --> 00:24:19

Nabi Muhammad, sallAllahu, Sallam and and all the brothers of

00:24:19 --> 00:24:22

Rasulillah, of The Ambien mursain and all their families and

00:24:22 --> 00:24:26

friends. Wah SallAllahu, Tami, Wakita, makuma, kitam, al

00:24:26 --> 00:24:29

Muslimeen, we ask Allah to grant me and your honorable selves and

00:24:29 --> 00:24:33

each and every Muslim the most beautiful ending of this world,

00:24:33 --> 00:24:36

and may Allah raise us the Day of Qiyamah under the banner of our

00:24:36 --> 00:24:45

beloved Nabi Muhammad. SallAllahu, sallamah, servants

00:24:46 --> 00:24:52

of Allah, always be conscious of Allah, be fearful of Allah and be

00:24:52 --> 00:24:57

obedient to Allah. For indeed, in the whole world, no one is more

00:24:57 --> 00:24:59

happier and no one is more successful.

00:25:00 --> 00:25:03

The one that is obedient to Allah and obedient to our beloved. Nabi,

00:25:03 --> 00:25:11

Muhammad, sallAllahu, Sallam wala Moana, shaytaan, rajim,

00:25:11 --> 00:25:18

bismillahir, Rahmanir Rahim the baraka lady be a deal Mulk who are

00:25:18 --> 00:25:26

Allah, kulishay in kadhi, alabi, Khala kalmah, Holocaust and Allah

00:25:26 --> 00:25:30

Azza, Allah,

00:25:31 --> 00:25:32

Malana,

00:25:34 --> 00:25:41

Allah says glorification and praises to the one who has control

00:25:41 --> 00:25:48

and power over all things, Allah. And then Allah says to us

00:25:50 --> 00:25:57

that, in no uncertain terms, Allah explains to us what is the purpose

00:25:57 --> 00:26:04

of this life, of this human life, Allah Hayata, Allah says, the one

00:26:04 --> 00:26:10

that has created death and life, liaban, Lua Kum, ah Sana Amala,

00:26:11 --> 00:26:15

before we translate that part of the ayah, it is so important to

00:26:15 --> 00:26:16

study the Quran

00:26:18 --> 00:26:22

and Learn the Quran and contemplate over the words of

00:26:22 --> 00:26:28

Allah. Because if you note Allah says, Allah while Haya, Allah has

00:26:28 --> 00:26:32

created death and then life. So why does Allah precede? Why does

00:26:32 --> 00:26:37

Allah first mention death to draw our attention? Because most of the

00:26:37 --> 00:26:39

people are not thinking about the death and

00:26:41 --> 00:26:47

Allah has created this life, Li Yaga, Lua, kung ayukum, the

00:26:47 --> 00:26:51

purpose of this life is because Allah want to test you and me, who

00:26:51 --> 00:26:56

of us are going to be the most excellent and The most outstanding

00:26:56 --> 00:26:57

in good deeds.

00:27:01 --> 00:27:07

And good deeds, and the best of deeds are so vast and so huge and

00:27:07 --> 00:27:14

a wide range, Salah, fasting, giving Sadaqah, being kind, kind

00:27:14 --> 00:27:18

to your neighbors, kind to everybody, even removing something

00:27:18 --> 00:27:24

harmful from the street or from a way to out of concern for beings,

00:27:24 --> 00:27:28

not only human beings, but even animals, that is also part of good

00:27:28 --> 00:27:30

deeds. In fact, it is part of iman. And

00:27:33 --> 00:27:37

can you imagine, my dear ones, that on top of the list of the

00:27:37 --> 00:27:38

best of deeds

00:27:39 --> 00:27:42

is to display the best of character

00:27:45 --> 00:27:49

to all human beings, and especially to your loved ones and

00:27:49 --> 00:27:53

to your close relatives. Our beloved Nabih, Muhammad says,

00:27:55 --> 00:27:59

sallAllahu, sallam, mom in Shay in afizan in mokmin, mean, Hulu kin

00:27:59 --> 00:28:04

Hassan, of all the good deeds, nothing is going to weigh more

00:28:04 --> 00:28:09

heavier on your scales, a day of qiyama, than your beautiful

00:28:09 --> 00:28:11

character says Rasulullah, sallAllahu sallam.

00:28:13 --> 00:28:18

So an important point a lesson, a lesson that we learn from this

00:28:18 --> 00:28:24

ayat is that we can safely say that Allah has created us to test

00:28:24 --> 00:28:30

us. Who of us are going to be the best in beautiful character.

00:28:32 --> 00:28:35

I'm appealing to each and everyone here present today

00:28:36 --> 00:28:42

to hold on and to remember the following Hadith for the rest of

00:28:42 --> 00:28:42

your lives.

00:28:44 --> 00:28:49

And this hadith, I must admit, is very close to my heart, and you

00:28:49 --> 00:28:53

will agree with me in this hadith, the NAMI Muhammad says, Salawat

00:28:53 --> 00:29:02

Salam in namah Abu, the actual reason and the real reason why

00:29:02 --> 00:29:06

Allah send me to this world as Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam is to

00:29:06 --> 00:29:11

complete the best of character, is to come and teach you to have the

00:29:11 --> 00:29:15

best of character. That was the main purpose of descending of our

00:29:15 --> 00:29:17

beloved Nabi Muhammad Ali said

00:29:19 --> 00:29:21

to us,

00:29:22 --> 00:29:24

ya Kulu, glory

00:29:26 --> 00:29:28

be

00:29:30 --> 00:29:48

to Glory be to Allah. Our Blessed is Allah who has placed gigantic

00:29:48 --> 00:29:55

stars in the sky and a shining sun and a bright moon, and he Allah is

00:29:55 --> 00:29:59

the One who make the night and the day to follow each other.

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

So the days follow, the weeks follow, the months and the years.

00:30:04 --> 00:30:07

We now in a new year, for what reason,

00:30:09 --> 00:30:12

Allah says, for those who want to reflect

00:30:13 --> 00:30:16

and think back and contemplate

00:30:19 --> 00:30:23

all to those who want to show gratitude. The year 2022, for

00:30:23 --> 00:30:26

example, has gone. And you can say to yourself, Alhamdulillah, you

00:30:27 --> 00:30:30

want to show gratitude. This year was a good year for me. I was

00:30:30 --> 00:30:33

every morning Fajr in the masjid. I didn't do it before.

00:30:34 --> 00:30:40

I did this and I did that. Or you can reflect and say, a year,

00:30:40 --> 00:30:44

another year has passed, and I didn't deal too so good.

00:30:49 --> 00:30:52

So yes, the year 2022, is gone,

00:30:53 --> 00:30:54

but not forgotten,

00:30:55 --> 00:30:57

because everything is documented.

00:30:59 --> 00:31:02

So let us be of those who reflect

00:31:03 --> 00:31:09

and ask ourselves serious questions. For example, if we ask

00:31:09 --> 00:31:10

ourselves,

00:31:11 --> 00:31:17

if I am to leave this world today or tomorrow, did I do enough, or

00:31:17 --> 00:31:21

did I carry out the purpose of life in order for Allah to be

00:31:21 --> 00:31:23

satisfied with me.

00:31:25 --> 00:31:32

And I was thinking of an example wali Allah. And no examples can be

00:31:32 --> 00:31:36

to compare to Allah. Allah is the Greatest that is for our

00:31:36 --> 00:31:41

understanding. Just imagine one of the biggest companies and the most

00:31:41 --> 00:31:45

wealthiest companies in the world offer you.

00:31:47 --> 00:31:50

They offer you you must. You must work for them for five years.

00:31:52 --> 00:31:54

And all your needs will be seen too,

00:31:55 --> 00:31:58

a house, motor car, everything.

00:31:59 --> 00:32:04

You will also receive a manual. In other words, a book of rules.

00:32:05 --> 00:32:11

You will have the opportunity in the five years to meet with a big

00:32:11 --> 00:32:17

boss, the CEO of the country, every day five times. You can go

00:32:17 --> 00:32:20

to the house and the palace of the CEO and speak to him every day,

00:32:21 --> 00:32:25

and you can ask him whatever you need, and he will give it to you.

00:32:30 --> 00:32:34

You are also requested to read and to study the manual.

00:32:35 --> 00:32:39

And you are also informed that in this company, we have got cameras

00:32:39 --> 00:32:44

all over. So whatever you do in this five years, 24/7, we can see

00:32:44 --> 00:32:45

what you are doing.

00:32:47 --> 00:32:52

And the offer is that, after five years, this company, if you have

00:32:52 --> 00:32:56

done what we have requested from you to do, this company will look

00:32:56 --> 00:33:00

after you your family for the rest of your life.

00:33:01 --> 00:33:05

They will give you properties in each and every major city in the

00:33:05 --> 00:33:10

world. This company will give you in each and every city the best

00:33:10 --> 00:33:12

BMW and the best Mercedes Benz,

00:33:16 --> 00:33:19

and they will even give you a private jet to fly around the

00:33:19 --> 00:33:20

world

00:33:22 --> 00:33:27

and so much more that no human being will ever refuse.

00:33:29 --> 00:33:30

But now let us just imagine,

00:33:32 --> 00:33:35

for example, the person

00:33:36 --> 00:33:42

very seldom made an effort to meet with the CEO, he was offered to me

00:33:43 --> 00:33:44

five times per day.

00:33:46 --> 00:33:51

He consistently broke the rules of the company. In spite of the

00:33:51 --> 00:33:52

cameras,

00:33:54 --> 00:33:59

He very seldom read the the manual, the book of rules,

00:34:02 --> 00:34:06

the key question is, what do you think will be the judgment of the

00:34:06 --> 00:34:08

company of that particular person?

00:34:09 --> 00:34:10

I don't need to answer

00:34:12 --> 00:34:13

and so someone only,

00:34:16 --> 00:34:23

as we said, walila, just imagine all of us. We've been offered to

00:34:23 --> 00:34:25

meet, not with the CEO

00:34:26 --> 00:34:30

and the boss of the company. We have been offered to meet with the

00:34:30 --> 00:34:35

King of Kings every day, every day of our lives until we die

00:34:36 --> 00:34:40

personally. We can meet with Allah. We connect with Allah. We

00:34:40 --> 00:34:45

speak to Allah, we can ask Allah everything uda only as kajibalakum

00:34:50 --> 00:34:51

and that person,

00:34:52 --> 00:34:57

he doesn't go to the masjid to meet Allah. He breaks the rules

00:34:58 --> 00:34:59

continuously, in spite.

00:35:00 --> 00:35:06

Of not cameras, in spite of Allah AB the ever watching al habien,

00:35:06 --> 00:35:10

the well informed, Allah knows everything about all of us. How

00:35:10 --> 00:35:16

many times Allah sing Quran, Wallah, habir, and whatever you do

00:35:16 --> 00:35:20

from the beginning of your life until the last minute, Allah knows

00:35:20 --> 00:35:24

everything about you. In spite of that, we consistently disobey

00:35:24 --> 00:35:26

Allah subhana wa taala,

00:35:29 --> 00:35:36

the same person, very seldom reads not the manual of the company, the

00:35:36 --> 00:35:40

best book ever that came to this world, the Quran, very seldom he

00:35:40 --> 00:35:41

reads the book.

00:35:43 --> 00:35:45

You don't understand much of the Quran,

00:35:46 --> 00:35:50

but dear ones, what do we expect the judgment to be?

00:35:52 --> 00:35:53

No wonder Allah

00:35:54 --> 00:35:58

is asking us, all of us, the following question.

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

I'm hasI Batum

00:36:02 --> 00:36:09

and TA I'm going to translate the ayah Wallahi

00:36:10 --> 00:36:18

by Allah, Allah has already prepared for all of us. Al Jat

00:36:20 --> 00:36:22

in this, Arya Allah is asking a key question,

00:36:24 --> 00:36:27

do you think that you just simply going to Jannah, and you haven't

00:36:27 --> 00:36:31

shown Allah yet that you are serious to go to Jannah?

00:36:33 --> 00:36:37

Must mean, I must admit, I remember these words now for more

00:36:37 --> 00:36:38

than 36 years,

00:36:41 --> 00:36:42

I went

00:36:43 --> 00:36:48

with the National ulama body the time when the problem started in

00:36:48 --> 00:36:54

Somalia. So we went to Kenya, and we went to the borders of Somalia

00:36:54 --> 00:36:59

to take, you know, food and needs to the people of Somalia. So on

00:36:59 --> 00:37:02

our way back, we make duar Salah in Nairobi.

00:37:03 --> 00:37:08

And in Nairobi, in that masjid, they give about 25 minutes between

00:37:08 --> 00:37:11

the Adan and the karma, because there are so many people coming.

00:37:11 --> 00:37:15

It's in the city center, there are so many people coming for duar. So

00:37:15 --> 00:37:18

they accommodate people to take hudu, and then one of the Ulama

00:37:18 --> 00:37:23

will stand up. And I was so fortunate that I was there and you

00:37:23 --> 00:37:27

read this, ayah, I'm haseva. Tom repeated again so that you can

00:37:27 --> 00:37:31

remember the translation. Do Allah is asking the question to all of

00:37:31 --> 00:37:35

us, do you think that you just simply come to Jannah and you

00:37:35 --> 00:37:40

haven't shown Allah yet that you are serious to go to Jannah?

00:37:41 --> 00:37:47

And then this Alim said, The Devki Yama, you're going to open your

00:37:47 --> 00:37:47

book

00:37:49 --> 00:37:53

and look at the the first page five times. Salah in Masjid, your

00:37:53 --> 00:37:54

name is not there.

00:37:55 --> 00:38:00

Fasting on a Monday, your name is not the fast Thursday, your name

00:38:00 --> 00:38:03

is not the salatu tahajjud. Your name is not the caring for the

00:38:03 --> 00:38:08

poor. Your name is not the caring for orphans. My life going to ask

00:38:08 --> 00:38:11

you, this is what he said in Nairobi, the my life is going to

00:38:11 --> 00:38:13

ask you now, what did you do with all your time?

00:38:18 --> 00:38:21

My dear ones, we are now in a new year,

00:38:23 --> 00:38:30

and how is it possible to go into a new year without reflecting back

00:38:30 --> 00:38:35

of what has happened the last year or the years before, or without

00:38:36 --> 00:38:42

new resolutions, without bringing about Any changes. How can you go

00:38:42 --> 00:38:44

through this new year and you're not going to change you? I don't

00:38:44 --> 00:38:48

have any intention. So that is why we have this duo, so that we can

00:38:48 --> 00:38:50

motivate one another to change.

00:38:54 --> 00:38:55

One of my teachers,

00:38:57 --> 00:39:00

and I call him with my teacher. He's not a Muslim. In fact, he's a

00:39:00 --> 00:39:03

pastor. His name is John C Maxwell.

00:39:05 --> 00:39:09

And I bought a lot of books from mister John C Maxwell, because he

00:39:09 --> 00:39:12

writes about leadership, and you must remember the name.

00:39:13 --> 00:39:15

The latest book I bought from him is,

00:39:16 --> 00:39:20

everyone communicates, few, connect,

00:39:21 --> 00:39:25

try to buy the book. The benefit, one of the benefits that I got

00:39:25 --> 00:39:30

from the book is I said to myself, that is exactly what happens to

00:39:30 --> 00:39:35

all of us. Everyone communicates to Allah, but still connect to

00:39:35 --> 00:39:36

Allah.

00:39:37 --> 00:39:42

But anyway, John C Maxwell, in one of his books, he says the worst

00:39:42 --> 00:39:49

thing in life for him is to stay stagnant, void of James. No,

00:39:49 --> 00:39:53

James, you are still the same person for 20 years, for 40 years.

00:39:59 --> 00:39:59

But yes.

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

Idea, one says there's many changes that we can bring about,

00:40:03 --> 00:40:07

but I'm coming to the main chains for today and for this year. But

00:40:07 --> 00:40:10

there are other changes. For example, there might be brothers

00:40:10 --> 00:40:14

or sisters. Sometime I forget about the sisters. There are maybe

00:40:14 --> 00:40:16

brothers or sisters that want to stop smoking

00:40:17 --> 00:40:22

and they confuse or end to start. This is a good time to start.

00:40:25 --> 00:40:28

And sometimes the smokers, some of the smokers, don't like me to

00:40:28 --> 00:40:33

speak about it, but it's only out of love and concern, because the

00:40:33 --> 00:40:39

cigarette box says to you, smoking can kill you. No, no, this is in

00:40:39 --> 00:40:43

South Africa to say Africa is about 50 years behind in most of

00:40:43 --> 00:40:48

the other airports that I went it's the boxes Smoking kills you,

00:40:49 --> 00:40:53

and that's the truth, whether you like it or not. So that is a

00:40:53 --> 00:40:56

change that you can bring about, then you are moving forward. But

00:40:57 --> 00:41:01

the main change that I want to focus on today

00:41:03 --> 00:41:04

and to encourage everybody

00:41:07 --> 00:41:12

is to focus and to connect yourself with the book of Allah.

00:41:12 --> 00:41:13

Allah,

00:41:17 --> 00:41:21

my dear ones, we can't continue in this way

00:41:23 --> 00:41:27

that we have no time for the Quran. Allah says in the Quran

00:41:27 --> 00:41:32

that the NAMI Muhammad is going to say Ali said in nakammi, referring

00:41:32 --> 00:41:36

the people of Makkah in nako, Mita, khadu hai, Quran and Majura.

00:41:36 --> 00:41:39

Oh Allah, My people have abandoned the Quran. Isn't

00:41:41 --> 00:41:44

that the problem with the Muslim ummah today, the Muslims have

00:41:44 --> 00:41:49

abandoned the Quran. Other things are more important for them. For

00:41:49 --> 00:41:52

example, their soccer team, Manchester United, the Liverpool

00:41:52 --> 00:41:57

or arsenal. If his team lose, then he's angry for the whole week. His

00:41:57 --> 00:42:00

wife mustn't even ask him to go by Chris says, Hey, shut up, man.

00:42:00 --> 00:42:05

He's so angry, but he's not angry. He didn't read the Quran for a

00:42:05 --> 00:42:07

year or for two years. But

00:42:12 --> 00:42:16

he wants listen attentively, because that is what Allah wants

00:42:16 --> 00:42:21

us when Allah speaks to listen attentively. Listen attentively to

00:42:21 --> 00:42:26

the two following questions that Allah is asking each one of us.

00:42:27 --> 00:42:30

One of the things that I benefited from a younger brother, from my my

00:42:30 --> 00:42:33

brother in law, Shak Shahin Abrahams from grassy Park,

00:42:34 --> 00:42:38

and I'm sure that your honorable selves can also benefit. He says,

00:42:38 --> 00:42:41

When you listen to Quran, you must say to yourself that Allah is

00:42:41 --> 00:42:44

speaking to me, Allah speaking to me.

00:42:46 --> 00:42:47

That must be the mindset.

00:42:49 --> 00:42:53

So listen to the questions that Allah is asking you and me,

00:42:54 --> 00:43:00

Allah and taksha akulu, wama, nazala min al Haqq, as the winter

00:43:00 --> 00:43:04

time arrive for the believers to connect their hearts,

00:43:07 --> 00:43:10

connect their hearts like their tongues, connect their hearts with

00:43:10 --> 00:43:11

the Quran.

00:43:12 --> 00:43:14

And we must, we must respond. Since you mentioned Allah is

00:43:14 --> 00:43:18

asking a question, you don't even respond. If I ask one of my

00:43:18 --> 00:43:21

children a question, and he says, walk away, I will consider that

00:43:21 --> 00:43:22

child of me to be rude.

00:43:24 --> 00:43:28

So I was asking us a question, hasn't the time arrived for the

00:43:28 --> 00:43:32

believers to connect their hearts with the Quran? And we must

00:43:32 --> 00:43:36

respond and say, Ya, Allah, the time has now come 2023. Is the

00:43:36 --> 00:43:39

year that I'm going to start to read the Quran. Not only read the

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

Quran in Arabic to understand the Quran, read the translation of the

00:43:43 --> 00:43:47

Quran, because that is my message today, not you must bacha khatam

00:43:47 --> 00:43:51

every month on nalamaba. My message today is you must read to

00:43:51 --> 00:43:53

understand the Quran.

00:43:54 --> 00:43:59

The Quran must not reveal to be kept in the masjid or when there's

00:43:59 --> 00:44:02

a janazah, then we read the Quran, and we just read the Quran in

00:44:02 --> 00:44:07

Arabic with no understanding. It can't be that's not the purpose.

00:44:07 --> 00:44:09

Why Allah reveal the Quran?

00:44:10 --> 00:44:11

Listen

00:44:13 --> 00:44:16

to

00:44:17 --> 00:44:19

the second question. Don't

00:44:20 --> 00:44:23

people make time to pun ALLAH asking the question, brothers and

00:44:24 --> 00:44:28

sisters, I want you to go home and think over these questions. Don't

00:44:28 --> 00:44:32

people make Allah's asking the question. Don't people make time

00:44:32 --> 00:44:39

to ponder over the Quran of my words, Allah asking, don't they

00:44:39 --> 00:44:42

read the Quran? You're supposed to read the Quran. I was asking,

00:44:42 --> 00:44:47

don't you make extra time, special time, to think deep about the

00:44:47 --> 00:44:49

words of ALLAH, contemplate?

00:44:51 --> 00:44:54

Or are there locks on their hearts,

00:44:55 --> 00:44:58

like Shaykh Umar Sulaiman said? Now the other thing the locks that

00:44:58 --> 00:44:59

we have.

00:45:00 --> 00:45:03

Is the films the Netflix, Netflix.

00:45:04 --> 00:45:07

That is a lock because of Netflix. You don't have time with the

00:45:07 --> 00:45:08

Quran.

00:45:09 --> 00:45:18

Now I name Netflix, not Netflix. Nick Netflix. Your neck is a fix

00:45:18 --> 00:45:19

for a films. So,

00:45:21 --> 00:45:28

so media. The phone, WhatsApp, messages, Facebook, Instagram,

00:45:28 --> 00:45:31

Twitter, and there are many beautiful messages, but some

00:45:31 --> 00:45:37

people do it the wrong way and go the wrong way. The locks, no time

00:45:37 --> 00:45:37

for the Quran. But

00:45:42 --> 00:45:48

dear ones, please don't allow today's Juma to be just another

00:45:48 --> 00:45:48

Juma,

00:45:51 --> 00:45:52

but make the intention

00:45:54 --> 00:45:57

that you going to read the full translation of the Quran

00:45:59 --> 00:46:01

Wallahi, Jawa Tums mean I've been saying

00:46:02 --> 00:46:04

my brother Shah Abu Bakr, he

00:46:05 --> 00:46:07

said, about 10 years ago, a non Muslim

00:46:08 --> 00:46:13

embraced Islam, and after nine months, he came to shahabu Bakr,

00:46:13 --> 00:46:18

Shah Bakar. Alhamdulillah, I've read the translation of the Quran

00:46:18 --> 00:46:22

from the first page to the last page, and

00:46:24 --> 00:46:29

you must allow me to say, to speak on behalf of all of us, most of

00:46:29 --> 00:46:32

us. We didn't we are born Muslims. We didn't do it just last week.

00:46:33 --> 00:46:38

Importance, we supreme about three no between more than, more than

00:46:39 --> 00:46:40

seven years ago,

00:46:41 --> 00:46:45

a woman, priest embrace Islam importance, close to our Mazi,

00:46:47 --> 00:46:49

and she named, she chose her name, Aisha,

00:46:50 --> 00:46:55

and she passed on a year and a half ago, Wallahi, last week, a

00:46:55 --> 00:46:56

husband came to me.

00:46:58 --> 00:47:03

He said to me, Sheik, in the seven years, my wife read the

00:47:03 --> 00:47:07

Translation for Quran 14 times. Allah

00:47:08 --> 00:47:13

tamam saying again, don't let this Juma be just another Jumaa. Make

00:47:13 --> 00:47:17

your intention this this year 2023, you can read the Quran.

00:47:18 --> 00:47:22

You can read what your family, family, Quran circles, or

00:47:22 --> 00:47:22

community

00:47:23 --> 00:47:25

Quran circles.

00:47:26 --> 00:47:30

And I must admit, about 15 years ago, we decided na aw Mazi in

00:47:30 --> 00:47:34

Ramadan, after fajr, we we going to ask everybody to go home and

00:47:34 --> 00:47:36

read the Quran and tafsir in English.

00:47:38 --> 00:47:39

And then one of these young men,

00:47:40 --> 00:47:45

what he brought forward, we are doing surakav. He says, Surak. He

00:47:45 --> 00:47:50

read the English Surah, the the middle word of the Quran one Yata,

00:47:50 --> 00:47:54

LAF. It means, be careful.

00:47:55 --> 00:47:58

Be careful what you do. Allah saying to you, be careful what you

00:47:58 --> 00:48:03

do. Be careful what you say, Be careful how you say. You can take

00:48:03 --> 00:48:06

that one word. The middle word is the most balanced word in the

00:48:06 --> 00:48:10

whole Quran. You can take that one word and you will succeed in this

00:48:10 --> 00:48:13

life. That is how powerful the Quran is.

00:48:18 --> 00:48:22

Tubuy, Allahu, my beloved ones make Toba, to Allah, repent to

00:48:22 --> 00:48:24

Allah and ask Allah forgiveness

00:48:26 --> 00:48:32

for all Beloved. Nabi Muhammad says, I Rasulullah, I Allah in one

00:48:32 --> 00:48:37

narration seven times other narrations 100 times. I ask Allah

00:48:37 --> 00:48:41

forgiveness 100 times, minimum day and I ask Allah tuba,

00:48:42 --> 00:48:47

just imagine our beloved Nabi Muhammad says, ataribumin dambi,

00:48:47 --> 00:48:51

Kamala dambala, a person that returns from his sins and the

00:48:51 --> 00:48:56

wrongdoings that Allah, it is as if he has never, ever done

00:48:56 --> 00:48:57

anything wrong.

00:48:58 --> 00:49:03

Dawat, allow me to say, I'm now imam for 34 years importance

00:49:03 --> 00:49:08

mitsubi and every Friday, I end off with this following Hadith of

00:49:08 --> 00:49:11

the NABI Muhammad. Ali said to waslam, the NABI Ali satu wassam

00:49:11 --> 00:49:15

was the greatest leader. The Nabi Muhammad always gave people hope.

00:49:16 --> 00:49:17

And Rasulullah says,

00:49:21 --> 00:49:25

each and every child of Nabi Adam makes mistakes and wrongdoings,

00:49:25 --> 00:49:29

but the best of them are those who return to Allah. You could have

00:49:29 --> 00:49:32

been the worst person in the world if you return to Allah, Allah is

00:49:32 --> 00:49:36

prepared to forgive you. That is why the day of qiyama, if you

00:49:36 --> 00:49:39

don't make it to the Jannah, you've got nobody to blame, only

00:49:39 --> 00:49:44

yourself. Allah gave you so many chances. I must also admit, when I

00:49:44 --> 00:49:46

come to this part of the Hadith,

00:49:47 --> 00:49:51

I go out of my way to remind my beloved brothers and sisters that

00:49:51 --> 00:49:55

are still make liquor the Salah, that are still not making the five

00:49:55 --> 00:49:59

times salah, or they make five times salah, but out of time.

00:50:00 --> 00:50:04

For example, they're at work, or they are at the beach or at the

00:50:04 --> 00:50:09

wedding. So tonight, they're going to make duar ASAN Masha together.

00:50:10 --> 00:50:15

You know what Allah says about those people, fawail musalinum and

00:50:15 --> 00:50:22

Salatin, a whale of a valley in the fire of jahannam. For those

00:50:22 --> 00:50:26

people who make salah, they make five times salah, but they make it

00:50:26 --> 00:50:30

out of time. Now, if that is for people that make five times salah,

00:50:30 --> 00:50:34

what about people that don't make salah? They don't make Fajr. Fajr

00:50:34 --> 00:50:36

is to Ali Allah.

00:50:37 --> 00:50:40

They don't make dua, they don't make ASR. Now, when then they make

00:50:40 --> 00:50:44

salah? Jamat Muslim. This is not just another Juma. This is your

00:50:44 --> 00:50:48

special Juma to make important decisions that from today onwards,

00:50:48 --> 00:50:52

you're not going to miss one salah. Just imagine the Dev

00:50:52 --> 00:50:56

qiyama, when we going to stand in front of Allah, and we going to

00:50:56 --> 00:51:00

stand amongst billions and billions, and even the ambiya are

00:51:01 --> 00:51:05

going to say, nafsi, nafzi, I'm worried about myself. And just

00:51:05 --> 00:51:10

imagine you standing there, and the Malaika come and they give you

00:51:10 --> 00:51:13

a report, and Allah calls it a book, because it's your whole

00:51:13 --> 00:51:13

life.

00:51:14 --> 00:51:17

The Malaika give you a book in your right hand and say to you,

00:51:17 --> 00:51:19

you pass. You are going to Jannah.

00:51:21 --> 00:51:25

That moment is so crucial that Allah reported in the Quran, Allah

00:51:25 --> 00:51:32

says the person that's going to receive his book, and he said

00:51:32 --> 00:51:37

right hand is going to say, yes, my book, Yes, I'm coming to but

00:51:41 --> 00:51:43

just imagine for a moment, you stand

00:51:44 --> 00:51:49

and the Malaika come with your book. You're from behind your left

00:51:49 --> 00:51:53

hand, and they say to you, for you, you didn't pass. You're not

00:51:53 --> 00:51:55

coming to Jannah. You came to jahannam.

00:51:57 --> 00:52:03

You were present at messenger on the sixth of January, 2023 there

00:52:03 --> 00:52:07

was a person, Ibram Gabriel, he reminded you about the Salah, but

00:52:07 --> 00:52:08

still you didn't make your Salah.

00:52:10 --> 00:52:14

Don't cry. Don't cry. It's too late to cry. Don't regret. It's

00:52:14 --> 00:52:15

too late to regret.

00:52:16 --> 00:52:21

I know my time is over, but I'm just going to complete

00:52:22 --> 00:52:27

with a guarantee to the Jannah. Guarantee to the Jannah given to

00:52:27 --> 00:52:34

us by Rasulillah Salah Salem, so please record and document the

00:52:34 --> 00:52:34

guarantee.

00:52:36 --> 00:52:40

Kala Rasulullah, sallAllahu, sallam, it manuli sitten at manna,

00:52:40 --> 00:52:45

Kumu, Jannah guarantee for me six and I Rasulullah, on the authority

00:52:45 --> 00:52:49

that Allah has given me, will guarantee you the Jannah. Oh, for

00:52:49 --> 00:52:54

Ida ahatung, if you've made a promise, keep your word. USD,

00:52:55 --> 00:52:59

whenever you speak, speak the truth that will be part of your

00:52:59 --> 00:53:00

guaranteed Jannah

00:53:01 --> 00:53:05

in today's world, Illa rahimallah, in today's world, most of the

00:53:05 --> 00:53:09

people are liars. May Allah protect us. Take the take the

00:53:09 --> 00:53:13

words of Rasulillah. Take the guarantee Allah will forgive for

00:53:13 --> 00:53:17

the past third one, Rasulullah says, guarantee for me, you're

00:53:17 --> 00:53:21

going to protect your private parts, and I will guarantee you

00:53:21 --> 00:53:25

the Jannah. We live in a world again, I'm saying Illa marahima,

00:53:25 --> 00:53:29

Allah, except for Allah's Mercy is on. The whole world is just

00:53:29 --> 00:53:36

everybody sleeping with everybody. Zina, immoral * is a order of

00:53:36 --> 00:53:40

the day. May Allah protect us. May Allah protect our children.

00:53:41 --> 00:53:43

The fourth one, Ra says,

00:53:44 --> 00:53:46

guarantee for me, you going to lower your gaze.

00:53:47 --> 00:53:52

Guarantee you're going to lower your gaze. We live in a time. Most

00:53:52 --> 00:53:54

of the women, they dress themselves so that you can look

00:53:54 --> 00:53:59

the second time and the third time. And some men are looking at

00:53:59 --> 00:54:02

women in the street as if they are looking at the Wimbledon tennis

00:54:02 --> 00:54:03

match

00:54:05 --> 00:54:07

when see all the women in the street.

00:54:08 --> 00:54:13

And worse than that, worse than that, there are so many Muslims

00:54:13 --> 00:54:14

looking at *.

00:54:16 --> 00:54:19

Allah. Are you doing it in front of Allah?

00:54:21 --> 00:54:24

That's why the memory Muhammad said, Ali said to assalam. Then

00:54:24 --> 00:54:28

Allah says in the Hadith kudasi and navaratus, sahmun mas mumun

00:54:28 --> 00:54:29

means sihami ibilis,

00:54:30 --> 00:54:33

that second look and the third LOOK

00:54:34 --> 00:54:36

AT THAT long first look.

00:54:37 --> 00:54:42

And I want to, I want to warn my brothers and sisters, not to play

00:54:42 --> 00:54:47

around and make jokes about the words of Rasulillah. Don't say

00:54:47 --> 00:54:50

Rasulullah says The first look is for you to have a long look. Don't

00:54:50 --> 00:54:53

play and make jokes about the words of Rasulillah, because that

00:54:53 --> 00:54:57

is what that what is meant. That's not the spirit of iman. That's not

00:54:57 --> 00:54:58

the spirit of Islam.

00:54:59 --> 00:54:59

I.

00:55:00 --> 00:55:03

Rasulullah meant, if you walk out there and your eyes fall in, a

00:55:03 --> 00:55:05

woman, Allah is not going to blame you for that.

00:55:07 --> 00:55:10

So that second look in the third look and a long first look is a

00:55:10 --> 00:55:14

poisonous Anu from the Iblis, says Allah,

00:55:15 --> 00:55:18

why is it poisoned to kill your iman

00:55:20 --> 00:55:27

mantela, to Iman and yaji do Halawa, tawhi kalbi, Allah. Allah

00:55:27 --> 00:55:31

says any person that leaves it alone is soft over his eyesight,

00:55:32 --> 00:55:37

out of respect for Allah and out of fear for the dev Allah will

00:55:37 --> 00:55:38

replace you

00:55:39 --> 00:55:43

with sweetness of iman. There's a difference between Iman and

00:55:43 --> 00:55:47

sweetness of iman. Allah will replace you with the sweetness of

00:55:47 --> 00:55:49

iman in your heart,

00:55:50 --> 00:55:54

the fifth Rasulullah says, guarantee for me you can carry out

00:55:54 --> 00:55:58

your responsibilities. There are many responsibilities. One of the

00:55:58 --> 00:56:03

responsibilities I always like to identify, because I also a

00:56:03 --> 00:56:05

husband, is that we as husbands,

00:56:06 --> 00:56:09

we must carry out our responsibilities towards our

00:56:09 --> 00:56:13

wives, to honor Him, to respect him, to love Him, to care for

00:56:13 --> 00:56:14

them.

00:56:15 --> 00:56:19

And the last one, Rasulullah, says, guarantee for me, you can

00:56:19 --> 00:56:20

keep your family together if

00:56:21 --> 00:56:24

your brother or your sister Your uncle has done anything wrong to

00:56:24 --> 00:56:29

you or said anything wrong of it, have a forgiving heart to keep the

00:56:29 --> 00:56:33

family together. Subhanallah, there are people in this world,

00:56:33 --> 00:56:36

own brothers, from the same father, the same mother. They

00:56:36 --> 00:56:40

don't talk to one another for years. Allah, they don't want to

00:56:40 --> 00:56:41

give him,

00:56:42 --> 00:56:46

you guarantee for me you're going to keep your family together. I

00:56:46 --> 00:56:55

will get into the Jannah. Audubon, what the collah in Allah, Habib,

00:56:55 --> 00:56:59

ahmadun, Allah speaks to all of us. Allah says, Be conscious of

00:56:59 --> 00:56:59

Allah

00:57:02 --> 00:57:06

and let each and everyone look into what you have sent forward

00:57:06 --> 00:57:10

for tomorrow. And Allah is not referring to tomorrow the seventh

00:57:10 --> 00:57:14

of January, 2023 Allah is referring to the day of qiyama,

00:57:14 --> 00:57:18

because, as tomorrow, the seventh of January is close by, likewise

00:57:18 --> 00:57:20

the day of qiyama So close by. And

00:57:21 --> 00:57:23

then Allah says,

00:57:24 --> 00:57:28

What takula Again, Allah says, Be conscious of Allah. Be fearful of

00:57:28 --> 00:57:33

Allah. In Allah, Habiru, pimata, amalun, for Allah is well informed

00:57:33 --> 00:57:37

and well acquainted with whatever you do. We ask Allah, Subhan wa

00:57:37 --> 00:57:41

Taala to grant this year to be one of the best years for all of us

00:57:41 --> 00:57:45

And for the Ummah at large, masala Allah, amen Alhamdulillah,

00:58:22 --> 00:58:22
