What is this?
Or what is this?
Who is this?
The subject of our
quilted today is
what is our purpose impact?
What is our why are we here?
Why are we in the magic?
Why why are we Muslim?
What is our purpose to be a Muslim?
Why did all that make us Muslim and
nothing else?
You ever think about your purpose? I'm talking
about your purpose purpose as a doctor or
a lawyer or
psychologist or a sheikh.
No. No. No. I'm talking about the fundamental
purpose.
So Surah Yassin is a very famous Surah.
I don't know. Probably the most famous Surah
Yassin.
And Surah Yassin and I'm going to maybe
skip some of the quotations in Arabic. So
Hayaseen speaks about
3 messengers that came to account.
3 messengers. 3 3 messengers.
Only time in the old Quran where Allah,
subhanahu wa ta'ala, had sent 3 prophets to
one people.
And it's referred to as a Sakarya as
a village.
Allah sent 3 messengers to a village.
1st, Allah sent 2
And they
they the 3 of them the 3 messengers,
they maybe said
2 lines
in the Quran.
They said 2 lines.
They didn't give a whole page. Allah's Muspah
Adal doesn't record that they said this and
that. They only said
believe. That's basically what they
messengers
came,
it didn't man only man only Muslim.
Just a man just a Muslim.
He came from the
far far away from the city. He lived
far away from the city. But he heard
that there were messengers
in the middle of the city, in the
town,
then wasn't they weren't getting anywhere
where they're preaching to these people. 3 prophets.
So he went.
And Allah
gives us about you're gonna read you you
definitely must read this.
Your Quran. Tell me my Quran.
Fear of it.
No.
If you don't show any interest in going
back to home and to read this in
the Quran, then you you have risked everything
because you're not interested. You're just interested in
what I say in finish.
Not interested in confirming it, learning more from
it because I'm one human being, applied this
little small mind that is about that size
to the Quran.
But if all of us do it, you
could also discover things in the Quran. You
can't discover things by not reading the Quran
even if you don't understand the English and
read the English for god's sake.
5, I'll send you a prophet.
5. I send you a prophet.
I send you a book.
Did you ever need to Quran to understand
it? What do you mean to say?
So
please objective
of my talks is for you to go
back home and to see where to find
this ayah and to read it. So this
one man came
and Allah describes when you when you read
it, you see, Allah tells us exactly what
he said in about
half a page, not one line, half a
page.
Allah takes the word of a simple Muslim
and puts it half a page in the
Quran.
So what is the message of this? Why
why why do I do this?
3 messengers couldn't do the job.
The lesson is
that every one of us has a job
to do.
Every one of us has got a job
to do.
The Anbiya got their job to do. These
3 Anbiya had a job to do, And
this man, this Muslim man also had a
job to do. He did his job, and
they did their job.
He couldn't do the job of the Anbiya,
and the Abia couldn't do his job.
The
Mufti,
his
job and my job just as a share
is different.
You may be in the same field.
So the lesson we learned here is that
all of us have something. Even if the
I mean, only we have
3. Imagine, we come into a village and
there are 3 3 3
3. 3 nabees.
What would we do?
What is the Arab saying?
The Arab saying is, when the sun rises,
no more use for the lights. No more
use for the lights.
Isn't it? What happens in the morning when
you wake up with this light? You switch
the lights off. Don't need the lights. How?
Because it's light.
That's what we say. So we would say
the same thing all day. You know, we
come if it was us, we come into
the village and we see 3 guys, 3.
They all have spoken.
I don't speak quite. I don't speak quite.
No. But we also have a job.
Go along,
all right
In the same
on the next page of the Quran in
Suray Ya Seen,
Allah changes the subject
just like that.
Allah changes Allah was talking about 3, and
1 was in Muslim. Now Allah changed the
subject completely.
It may have nothing to do with it,
but it has a lot to do with
it.
One thing you trouble because from deaf Kiyama,
I will tell Allah that I told you
you will be in trouble.
So you can't tell our deaf Kiyama, but
we thought we don't know we trouble. She
had never told us. Do you even remember
Surah Yaseen and Surah Taqan?
Allah will say, but what about your prophet?
Your prophet doesn't memorize.
I sent you a prophet
and the chef reminded
you. Alright. Today I'm going to join a
game clip.
You don't mind
me. It's all good for all of us.
So
Allah says now turn to Allah changes the
subject.
Allah
says,
and the sun
swims in its own boat.
Listen to this. And
the sun swims now what is this gonna
do with the the 3 men and the
one man? Allah
says, and the sun swoops in its own.
And the moon?
And Allah swam says, and the moon
the moon swarms behind the sun. It will
never reach the sun nor the sun reaches
it.
And so in modern science, it has discovered
that all the planets in our universe
follows the
sun.
All go behind the sun. The sun is
in front of it. They move behind the
sun.
And we know we know that the moon
is the first one behind us.
And every one of the sun and the
moon has its own jobs.
Allah describes
the daw of Muhammad. Sorry. I use the
word daw, but daw, you know, it's it's
we understand. Everyone
has its own function. I mean, it's a
good English word.
So Allah describes the function of the messenger
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
in Suratul Aza.
Phone on the table to record this, nobody
responded.
It's just I responded.
Allah says to the Messenger Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi
wa Salam, Allah not gives him his
what do they give you when you start
a new job they give you what? Job
description.
This is my description of you. 1st,
you will be a witness.
2,
you will be be a bringer of glad
tidings.
3, you'll be
a warrior.
These are 3 options.
Then Allah says
and you will be a to
me.
You are called people to me.
Dayan in Allah.
Not calling to him. Not like today. The
sheikh call himself to them.
Come to me. Join my group. Join my
jamaat. Join my join my
they go to Allah
All the messengers say the man comes and
says, come on,
I said, fine. But first, teach me Islam.
Teach me. Teach me the deed of Allah.
I'm not here to follow you. I'm here
to follow the deed of Allah. If
and only those who call to Allah
with the permission
of
Allah.
And those of them who got permission of
Allah, they will not call to Allah. They
call to some other things.
You know what
I'm
talking
about.
So
the last one
is very unique. All this is,
you are
shall I hit that witness? You are
being of glad tidings. You are
wooner, then Allah says,
waseera
janmudeera.
And You are the light
that gives light to everything.
So in the time of the Nabi
and Munira.
And Siraj
in the Quran, Allah refers to Siraj,
Allah refers to the sun. The sun in
the Quran is called Siraj.
Big lamp in the sky, Siraj.
The light that gives of light and lights
up everything.
But this light
of the Quran
is not always there.
The light of the Quran is not always
there. The the the light of sorry. The
light of the of the sun is not
always there. We know that. The sun comes
up in the morning
and goes away in the afternoon. They will
stop. Then there is a chance of who?
Who comes now? The moon. Alright. So
so Allah
says, Muhammad
is the what?
Is the sun,
but the sun is not always with us.
The sun goes away.
And when the sun goes away, who takes
over?
Simone.
And who who's the boy? Where?
Where?
We follow
in the circulation
of the sun
which is driven by and led by who?
Mohammed.
And the only reason that we, the moons,
have light
is because
Allah
has reflected the light of the sun and
moon.
So, even if Muhammad
is not there, the sun is not there,
we live by His reflected sun which is
the moon
And
this son,
which Allahu to handle us,
He gives us the son of Muhammad SAW
and William
in his defection.
Yeah. Think about this. Think about this.
Think about this.
The next thing I'm going to say, think
about it.
The sun
doesn't go through phases.
The sun is the sun.
It's always as big as it is, and
it's always the area it's supposed to be.
It doesn't become smaller like the moon, become
bigger. No. The sun is static.
It is one of those
items in the universe that is static.
Is the Siraj.
Siraj al Munirat
and which lights up everything.
And
the moon has phases.
The moon. So the sun of of Muhammad,
sallallahu, sallam, is always bright. It is there.
The sunnah of Muhammad, sallallahu, is bright. It's
always there.
It leads us. It guides us.
And the moon,
the moon has phases.
You have the new moon. What is it?
What do you call this?
Shaft.
What do you call them? Accrescent.
Accrescent.
Sometimes we don't even see the moon.
Sometimes it's a half. Sometimes it's bright. Sometimes
it's not so bright. Sometimes we can't see
it.
The moods are we. We like that. Me,
you, and all of us. Sometimes
we're bright.
Sometimes it's just a thin light, sometimes we
can't see it.
What is that reflected light? That is the
reflected light of Muhammad's house. So sometimes we
neglectful
on the sunnah of the Rabi Sallallahu Alaihi
wa Salam. Sometimes we
all dare for the sunnah of the Rabi
Sallallahu Alaihi wa Salam.
We in a group or some family members,
they do all the beyond, and we say,
well, not today. You know? It's not a
syllable.
Leave it. That is when our light is
filled.
Then you're in full moon. You know what
the beautiful the full moon looks like? So
next time you look up at the sun,
you say, because
Allah
Allah describes the Nabi as the
sun. And when you look up at night
and the moon, you say, that's us. That's
me. Tonight, humbly love,
is big. Tomorrow, it might be likely.
Today be good tomorrow, it may not be
good. Not that. They don't make all the
time. They declare all the time. Do the
things that is necessary to do. Don't waste
your time on things that is not necessary
to do to do in the deed.
Does the Lord
Spend your time on reading the sunnah of
the release,
whether it's on the TV, whether it's on
the,
you know, inbox, whether where else gonna be?
Yeah. On the Internet,
I see
now when I look at my watch at
my watch at my cell phone in the
last, maybe, 3, 4, 5 months, I see
that, yes, they have they have all the
lectures
of all around there and in between now
they put
clips
of how to approach a woman, etcetera
etcetera. And they always put it in between,
and also now they cut off. They cut
in between when you listen to a good
lecture,
then something comes up with a woman that
says, you know, how to do this and
how to do that stuff.
So you must be wary of these things.
You must be wary that this is a
distraction.
This is a distraction.
Don't go for the distraction.
I know sometimes you open a phone I
open my phone when they do something and
I do something completely different and
I'm saying, mind me,
but we didn't come to do this. You
came to look up that word or this
or that. Okay? Alright.
So you got that.
So, yes, sometimes the moon the sun is
full and sometimes
always full and sometimes the moon. The believers.
We are believers.
So what is Alra?
What is Alra?
And now I'm going to ask all of
us, including myself.
There is a hadith of the
prophet
In.
I say this to you. Who is it?
In the most authentic book of.
And I want to say something before I
tell you the hadith because the hadith is
bit of a shocking hadith.
But as in chalking, there's something wrong with
me.
Before I quote the hadith, I will say
to you the first verse of
Allah, the first thing Allah says
what is the first thing we will believe
in?
Allah.
Without this, we know that we have no
deen. So Allah says,
Allah takes the holy heavens and everything that
he's saying. Allah himself and everything that we
can't see. Allah says, you must believe in
the unseen.
Not
In the unseen,
things Allah created, we can't see with our
eyes.
And then Allah
says,
this is there's a surah in the Quran
called the surah of the ant.
What's the name of the Surah in the
end? Nahu. Nahu, mashallah. Barakalofik.
There's a Surah in the Quran,
the Surah of the End.
All the end, Surah of the end. Allah
gives the name of the Surah Ent, Surah
of the Ent.
Why is this the name of the Surah?
This is the name of the Surah.
It relates and this is in Surah,
in that Surah. So you have another daughter,
you have to go to that Surah and
you have to read this way. Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala says, and an ant came.
Nabi surayman was busy with his shoulders, he
was marching
to go to war. And this ant came
and said to all the other ants,
hey, brothers and sisters.
You have to go into your dwellings now.
You have to go home now.
Soleiman is coming with his soldiers, and he's
gonna trample all over you to be gone.
Very good.
So mister Layman was standing there, and he
smiled.
Why did he smile?
Because he could understand
what they had to see.
That's when he gives Allah's son gave to
the to many people, only the,
the prophets.
So he was so happy
and his way more was so happy,
imaiduwa
said You Allah,
I'm grateful for all the favors you've bestowed
upon me and you've disposed bestowed upon our
parents. It's a good Dua was filled. Beautiful
Dua. He wasn't needed. Beautiful Dua.
Do you believe that? Do you believe that
a man could hear an ant speak
Calm
you down.
While a man was driving his car,
a man was doing what? Prophetess Assam said,
a man was driving his car. Not like
this.
How do you grab a car?
With a little sticky
little push ups and hooks. A little bit
faster a little bit faster.
And then the men climb on top of
the cup.
Very famous hadith among Muhaadi Sur.
Then they say turn on top of the
cow
to ride on it. Say, cut onto the
cow where the intention is, you're not gonna
walk anymore. It's gonna ride.
So he started to beat the cow.
Then the cow said to him, the cow
spoke just like the ants spoke.
The cow spoke. What did the cow say
to him?
The cow said to him,
I have not
been created
for this purpose.
I have been created by who?
Who created it?
Abdullah.
Allah.
So he says,
I say to the man, I have not
been created for you to ride on my
back. That's not the purpose. That is not
the purpose of my life.
I have created my purpose in the world
the reason Allah made me was to do
what?
House
plow.
My job was to pull your plow. That's
my job.
That's my job on the earth.
So
what is your purpose?
It's a car and his purpose,
and this is the purpose of this hadith.
Because this hadith, nobody else could.
There's only one way to make us aware
that we must have a purpose. Because the
cow has a purpose.
The sheep has a purpose.
Dog has a purpose. Cabin has a purpose.
The cat has a purpose.
The ant has a purpose.
Everything has a purpose.
And here we are big people,
followers of Muhammad sallallahu a sallam, and we
just go on day by day, day by
day,
he. He's going to join in what he
does and you're going to join in what
you do. And both of you must do
what Allah has sent you to do and
what Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam has said
you must do.
Said you must do. So he's not he
the imam who thinks she had got no
secret
way to Allah.
You have the same Ustajjadness
in you because Allah subhanahu wa'ala sent this
Quran to who?
Whole world.
So
the people in the Masjid,
like another man the other day, I was
talking about
the day of Araf
in a Masjid, and full small people small
there were about 10 people in the Masjid
for the world.
And I explained to them, explained to them,
explained to them, explained to me. I didn't
get exactly when I explained, you know, because
I explained
all the proofs that is hiding the parabolas
or not. So I just don't say something.
So this man how do you
who the * did he make? And he
said, oh, no. I disagree with that. I
I've made my decision through the years.
Muhammad. But if I quote the hadith or
the prophet, you have to accept
it. If you're quoting the I of the
Quran, you accept it. But even something you
hear at my opinion, just
your Hadid is
you can prove its authenticity.
Don't listen to what I say. Listen to
what
Masha'Allah.
The people in the jamaat said, Oh,
a cow that can speak?
No people are.
I tell you something you believe. No?
He said
hold on.
He said,
Abu Bakr and Umar accepted
it.
When Nuhim said, oh the cow was bigoted,
he said to them Abu Bakr and Umar
accepted it.
I'm still asking questions.
The best of you have accepted us.
He could have given them a
he could have shouted to you.
Where did the prophet get it from?
Where could he there's no other place you're
coming from but from who? From Allah.
Allah revealed to him.
Allah said to him, why? You know, Allah
spoke to
many many occasions.
There's hadith
with the words
is from Allah. No. With the words is
from Allah and the interpretation is from what?
Come to window.
So we,
our job is
in this line is to follow in the
footsteps of
Don't let anybody else tell you any doubts.
Follow my share. Follow my this. Follow my
people.
Tell me this is what Amar said.
So how long I'm looking at you?
We may we may we be with him
because he's gonna be with the prophet.
You see?
You
see?
You see, if you can memorize this now,
memorize it. Anna
Rasul,
I
am the messenger of the messenger of
Allah. Next time somebody asks you what hadith
and about, you know, you say, yeah, we
only follow the prophet. You say, Omar Hussein,
I'm
the messenger of the messenger of Allah. Listen
to me. I follow in the footsteps of
the messenger of Allah. I speak about the
messenger of Allah speaks.
That is the new organization, Shaboh Ali. You
will start that organization.
What will be the what will be the
part of that organization or the what do
you want to be calling that?
The word for it.
What is it? You have an organization. You
have a What else? It tells you about
the organization.
Imagine this man, that's why he's so so
great. They would express themselves in 3 words.
I have to sit here for all Abba
now to thank God for mercy.
Abba didn't have to walk in there and
you would
have said, 'masha'
So may Allah grant
us inshallah understanding.
May Allah grant us.
You know, I find out that, you know,
I've been around for a long time.
And the more I live the longer I
live, the more I find that people are
not interested in living.
Here he's sad.
Because the first thing
that I would ask anybody is, who is
your teacher?
The first thing a lot of times I
can ask is,
who taught you? Who is your teacher?
Our teachers are getting
less and less and less and less optimally
and so we must gather those who
can convey something to us and teach us.
But the angel doesn't come to you. You
must go to the island.
Prophet Sasa didn't go
him. But today,
So I make all these mentions and share
all these things
because
I'm in a very tact position.
I'm squeezed very tightly by Allah Subhanahu
because
Allah Subhanahu is a lost need for us.
Just because I knew a little bit more
than what you know, he's gonna ask me
first.
And what are you
gonna
say? You're gonna say that Allah says in
the Quran. In
the
And what will they say after that?
Well, our Bandur das Sabeel,
they just guided us.
They sweetened us.
They wanted us to say that they are
the greatest.
And they know what will you say?
Oh Allah,
curse them.
Curse them with a mighty curse.
And who's the easiest?
He didn't tell
us the truth. He wasn't the big slav,
though. He wanted us. He wanted us to,
you know, to say, who is a great
chef, who is this, who is that, and
we follow him.
And what would you say?
Rope. So
even if you're 90 years old you must
still have a teacher.
Your forgetting and your remembrance, that is Allah's
duty.
Allah
makes you forget and Allah makes you remember.
Your job is to go and sit there
and to listen. That's your job.
Even if you walk out of the Maji
and you remember nothing, you have to fall
the path of the greatest thought. If not
the greatest thought,
And man who finds his way to knowledge,
Allah makes his way to the Jannah smooth.
You know, it's gonna be like a it's
gonna be a sword that you walk over.
Thinner than a
hair. And those who saw it,
they will not touch that hair. They will
fly over it.
People are thrown off into the jar.
And what is your greatest gift that Allah
has given to you
for Jannah?
It's been so much time on this.
You wake up at 11 o'clock at night
and you go into their room, then the
light is under the blanket.
I don't beat up anybody. I'm never justifying
for anybody but sometimes, you know, I feel
I want to escape this one.
Can I switch it
