I would like to say you are very
lucky. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
chose you for this great barakah.
It was,
narrated
that one of our salin
at the very beginning of his life, wasn't
that much interested in today.
So
he employed a person,
a woman to help
him with cleaning and to serve
him. So when he went to bed,
she woke him up at the at the
very beginning.
She thought this is part of her duty.
She said, why don't
you pray to little?
So the man said, I didn't employ you
for this.
But she was very
persistent.
After a little while,
she couldn't see him sleeping, so she said,
you know, everyone
is enjoying speaking to his to his Lord.
So please wake up
and just do a little of remembrance.
The man said,
can you let me rest, please?
Azifullah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, sent her with a
message. And this what people do. Sometimes,
the Zakirin and the Salihin,
they think, Subhanallah, why not why everyone is
not enjoying what I'm enjoying.
So it was difficult for her to see
this man sleeping.
So she woke him up again. So he
said,
oh, you
in a daytime, he said, nothing stops me.
At night, he said,
I'm a piece of wood.
So leave me alone.
So when she was leaving she said You
Allah
So the man told her, said what did
you say? She said Oh Allah,
I'm asking you by your love for me
The man said,
how do you know that Allah loves you?
She said,
Just look
with what Allah
is keeping me busy at this very moment,
and with what Allah
is keeping you busy.
Oh, god.
So dhikr
is the nur, and what is motivating,
the Nur and the Barakah of our life.
And what if the dikr is connected to
Sayyidina
You know, we live in this very moment
that
it is very easy for people to criticize
that they don't enjoy what others enjoy.
In authentic narration,
Sayidna Umar
was
part of his routine
to go around at night
to serve
the community.
While he was going around,
he heard the boys coming out one of
this
one of the houses.
And it was
a woman,
a Sahabi.
May Allah be pleased with her.
She was saying,
of the chosen ones.
She said I wish and I know death
comes in stage
But if there is anything that I wish
is
to follow Muhammad
sooner
So Sayidna Umar was keep crying, and he
was keep asking,
can can you repeat this?
And in some narration said,
can you add me to this gathering?
So she said,
and
Umar
Yalla
forgive him.
Did she add say Dawah?
No, she didn't. She just asked forgiveness for
him. So, somehow, this was the tradition
of khair.
And,
I'm not going to take a lot of
your time because this is,
honey, I don't want to cut the barakah
of the. For me, I'm just coming to
enjoy myself.
And,
but Rabbi Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said in Quran.
In Surah Al Nisa.
And whenever they commit a sin or oppress
themselves, if they were to come to you,
Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
and ask Allah's forgiveness.
And you ask Allah's forgiveness for them, they
would fight Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala all forgiving
Muslims.
For many people, they say this is
had been finished, Halas.
But SubhanAllah.
In Bukathir in his
in his Tafsir,
especially about this very ayah said,
a man from the Tabi'i called Al Ghatbib.
Said I was sitting in front of the
hijrah, Rasulullah So
a villager came,
and he said, you Rasulullah.
Front of the grave, owner paid. He said,
You Rasulallah.
I've committed this sin, and I'll oppress myself.
And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said in his
Quran
that whenever they commit a sin, if they
were to come to you and ask Allah's
forgiveness.
And you Allah making a step far.
And you Allah ask Allah's forgiveness when he
left.
So I'm utbih said I went to sleep
and I saw in my dream. Sayyidus sallallahu
alaihi wasallam said, yeah, utbih adrikal a rabbi
bashhibu
Or it
will go and find this villager and tell
him that Allah has
forgive me.
So Al Uthubi went,
and he said, I've said this to this
man. The man came,
and he said, in fact,
from Yani, the
As a as a poetry, they said this
is one of the best points that had
been said about Sayedid Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
So he said,
And subhanahu, I do remember when I said
this once.
One of the sisters came to me
the week after. She said, this is not
in the Tassir of Ibn Kasir.
So I said, well, the Tassir of Ibn
Kasir that I know.
So she wrote me the copy,
the English
translation. And now, we are living in a
time,
people, they don't even hesitate to delete whatever
doesn't suit
them. So I said, this is my copy.
So this copy, I don't know about it.
So I would,
say may Allah bless
your government.
If there is anything that
connected us to Allah,
He
is our guide, and he is our
And especially at the time that all our
effort became into the Akam, into the ruling
of the Deen.
Yes.
Ruling of the Deen and Sharia is very
important part. However,
there is more to the deen
than just do or don't do.
Because this deen is deen of love.
And this love,
to feel it, SubhanAllah, you have to be
invited by him, Subhanahu wa ta'ala. As he
said, you're.
The love comes from him.
Subhanahu.
And then, if we look at the life
of the Sahaba,
the love for Rasulullah
sometimes is beyond people's imagination, SubhanAllah.
And I know you know this because if
you are in this, let's gather it, subhanallah,
wallahi,
wallahi.
I know, subhanallah, you feel this. But just
even if we look,
at Saydi
Rabia al Bukam, a sulem, a young man,
a young Sahabi.
He's 16, I believe, who he was. So
this Sahabi
once you were thinking, said, what is the
way? What shall I do to get closer
to Rasulullah
So he said, I will ask Sir
Sadie if he accept me to be his
servant.
And if he said no,
and most likely will do he will do,
he said at least I have tried.
So he came here Rasulullah, who do you
accept me to serve you? He said, yes.
So when he came to say,
this is what Subhanahu wa sallam
Wherever he tell us, he will find me
4th
of
him.
And I used to get him whatever he
wants before,
ask him.
And this is shock. This is love.
Once he said, I went to my house.
And then I thought,
I'm serving as soon as I'm in day
time.
What if he needed something
at night?
So it's not right.
I should be right next there in the
service. This is not a complete klima.
He said, die from sleep.
At the end, Musa
when he opened the door, he followed him
just outside the door. Said, Rabiha, what are
you doing?
Said, you Rasuloma, I thought
you might need something at night, so I
should be in your service.
So said,
you Rabiya,
ask me whatever you want.
Just tell me.
No one is with him.
Qabi'ah had rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam for himself.
And rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam is asking him,
say whatever you want.
Rabbi Hao was a wise young man.
He said, this is the child that Allah
has provided for me.
It might not be repeated.
He said, you Rasulullah, I mean, he said,
and Rasoolallah said, take your time.
After a while, he kept saying, and
Rasulullah when he saw him said, You Abi
Ababa Bara'a.
Have
you made your mind? He said, Yes, You
Rasulullah.
I want you to live with me this
moment.
Rabii Abuqqah was a poor young man.
He wasn't from a big tribe.
So he needs job.
He needs financial support.
He needs family.
And subhanallah,
and the list might go on on on
and on. So, Surah Al Salih said, tell
me what you want. He said,
I would be in your company in Jannah.
You know what that means?
As if he say, you are Rasulullah, you
are my Jannah. What I'm going to do
in Jannah in your absence You Rasulullah.
If I'm not with you, that is not
my Jannah.
Rasulullah
said, have you asked someone? He said, no,
You Rasulullah.
How did you get to this point? He
said, You Rasulullah, when I went away.
I was thinking.
I was planning.
But then he said, whatever you give me,
you give me. So it's going to end.
And even if I enter Jannah,
I said I just want to be with
you You Rasoolallah.
And Sayedee
because Rabbi Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala described him in
a Quran.
Rahmatan lil alameem. Mercy to all the worlds.
He didn't say mercy to Muslims.
He didn't say mercy to Mormons.
He didn't say mercy to humans.
Mercy to all the worlds.
Malaika.
All words.
Because though, we say alhamdulillahi
rabbil alabi, don't we?
In some of the translations,
you will find they say mercy to mankind.
Rahmatulli Alami. If that is the case, then
when I say, Alhamdulillahi rubi Alami, does that
mean
Lord of mankind?
So what about the rest of the creation?
Who is the Lord of it?
So Rasulullah
has included everyone in this.
He didn't give it especially to Rabiya.
Because he is.
He opened the door for all of
us. So he said,
He said,
you've asked me about something great.
So help me by making a lot of
secret. And
as they say,
means have
the same
rules or the same
goals
of the purposes as well.
So, subhanallah, all these majalis or fiqh
is in order
to connect us to Rasulullah
And Rabbi, subhanallah,
said that I can say, this is be
written in beautifully.
Peace and tranquility
comes only by remembering Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And the greatest nighma that Allah has given
us is
in
the tafsir of the aya,
that tafsir if you try to count
the blessing of Allah, you will never be
able to
number them.
If you
see, Allah said Ni Amatallahi.
It's in singular form.
If you try to count the blessing, he
didn't say their blessings.
He didn't say Ni Amatallahi.
Nia amallallahi is inggla. So imam mujari al
Tabari said, it is Rasulullah
So may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless your
gathering.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala honor you. And,
just remember,
please keep these measures of the camp. This
is what we need.
We shouldn't deceive
ourselves for life.
We cannot build neither communities,
neither nations, nor nations
except by this majalis of theqir.
Our duty is to worship him and to
be in the service of our deen.
And, subhanAllah,
leaving everything and coming at this very
moment, inshaAllah, to do to remove Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala
is a great, subhanahu wa ta'ala, effort from
you and may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, bless
those who are serving the community and, and
bring the people
together.
Before we continue,
to
uphold the sunnah of seeking counsel,
could you give
those present
one,
one
council that we could hold hold fast to.
My rules if,
my rules the should be true to my
sacrifice.
You know, if you are Ummah
of Rasulullah,
you should be Ummah of Quran.
Please, I say,
have a word of a Quran even if
it is 3 aya everyday.
And in this,
I say to all of us,
don't try just to make a cut off
a Quran, even just read 3 ayaats.
Try to understand the meaning.
Ask the ulama
to help you with the understanding of these
3 ayaats that you read.
Because SubhanAllah,
Rasulullah
was either reading the Quran
They came to seek knowledge from Sayeda And
Rasulullah
gave them a time after Isha to go
to visit them every night.
So one night, Rasulullah
gave them a little bit faint.
And because of their love for Rasulullah
they were spoiled. And this what I say.
They said when he came to them, they
said, Lakat Abtata alayniya Rasulullah.
Said, yeah Rasulullah, today he came a little
bit late.
So he said, I miss my word of
the Quran because some guest came to me.
So after Isha, I was reading my word
of the Quran before coming to you. Subhanallah.
And our saliheen all of them.
SubhanAllah,
their connection with the Quran was amazing.
Sometimes even to build our.
We cannot even comprehend
how they used to finish
2, 3, 4
Haqqmas every day.
In the name of the Quran,
I say, Naha'i
used to say the wonders of Quran
will never finish.
And the Barakat
renew each other, SubhanAllah.
And I will tell you one story.
You are lovely.
When I first came to England,
I was, subhanallah,
and in teaching
some sisters.
And I chose
to teach the teachers who doesn't speak English
so that they don't look superior over me
because
I didn't speak any English at that time.
So, subhanallah,
there was a lady, subhanallah,
from Somalia
in her sixties.
Subhanallah, she said to me she said,
I've got no job.
I've got no children.
I've got no any responsibility.
I said,
the only thing I want is
to learn the
Quran. Then she said to me, I don't
she said, I don't I don't read or
write
any other language.
And
it is my
location. It's not even my wish. Said I
have to memorize the Quran.
So, subhanallah, every night
between Malaym and Eja, she reads
one part of the Buddha.
In the daytime,
what she will do is she say, read
for me some ayat.
So I will read some ayat for her.
And she had this at that time, there
was
now the technology is mashallah Tabarakallah.
Before there was this,
cassette. And she comes with her tabriqot, so
I have to read for her some ayat.
SubhanAllah,
she comes the next day,
can you give me another ayah?
So, mom, what about what you said yesterday?
That
is,
Alhamdulillah,
I've already
And then, subhanallah,
I went to my way and she went
to her way, subhanallah.
She came to me after
5 years. She said, I'm leaving Tara with
some subsisters.
She memorized 11 years of Qawba.
So, subhanAllah,
let's let us renew
the sunnah of
Rasulullah
and to keep our self
busy with remembering of this Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Until we get to the point because, you
know, see
the
and those
who seek the bath at the very beginning.
And all of us, we are beginners.
Said
They follow the norm.
They face the norm.
And when they get to the point, the
norm will face them.
May Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala make us from
them.
Do your take care.
And if there is any mercy, I will
say
is things doesn't concern us
to keep away.
No.
As
as
as
the
best
form
of Islam of someone is
to leave things that it doesn't concern them.
Because then, Allah is going to ask me
about me.
I will stand up before him as fight.
Allah is not going to ask me about
what others are doing. Just to try to
purify ourselves.
And then
the last wazir, I will say, is to
keep
this kind of kadir.
You know why I'm saying this?
Read in Surah Al Kahf. What Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala said to us,
Have patience and keep yourself in the company
of those who remember Allah.
Allah is saying this to us,
Why? Because if I'm alone,
I'm subject to a lot of things,
a lot of influences.
Maybe our time was much more better than
than this time. What life?
Now people, they don't have even any kind
of privacy.
You've got
your phone follows you wherever you want.
Subhanallah.
People are busy with things worldwide sometimes even
useless.
So these companies
will help you.
And this is what Allah wanted for us.
And Sayedid, Allah said,
when
you pass
by the gardens of Jannah,
Sit down and enjoy.
May Allah bless you.
