So the albu sareem,
the comfort is in salah.
Comfort is in salah,
And
if Salah is not there with me,
then I have a problem.
Then there is an issue.
How many of you show me hands. This
one I need an answer.
You do all the extra,
not the obligatory only.
Everyone.
The 2 before fajr,
2 or 4 before,
2 or 4 after it depends which one
you follow. 2 after Maghreb, and 2 after
Russia. Every single day, show me hands.
We have a huge problem in Malaysia.
And the answer is why.
Why not?
Not even the weekend?
Not even when you're off?
How long it will take you?
Not even Fajr?
The Fajr
Sunnah?
Show me hands.
There's than 50%.
Though
that he never left
even when he was traveling,
and sometimes he made it up.
What is true of God?
And what's the sunnah reading
in that sunnah?
And the first look I read what?
And the second look I read?
How long it will take?
Nah. 5 minutes is too long.
2, 3 minutes?
5 minutes?
5 minutes
from 24 hours.
5 minutes.
As soon as
did it every single good day.
Whether a traveler, whether he is not a
traveler, whether an Hajj outside, expedition, doesn't matter.
Never left it.
Then how long can I get to the
Al Hussein?
I want everyone in this room, young and
old.
And I have to say I'm surprised.
Because
from what I have seen so far,
this is a country Allah blessed with deen.
Come and live where I live
and walk in the streets
and see you will be the only one.
The only one looked like that,
or the only one looked like that.
You know, when salatam comes in, who knows
what salah?
And when you are working, everybody around you,
you're the only one who's gonna struggle where
is the qigla.
And I have to carry my sejada with
me.
Why not?
Why not?
2
to God.
2
5 minutes. Less than 5 minutes. It doesn't
take 2 minutes.
Your relationship,
the gauge. This is how I say that
to myself.
The gauge,
the thermometer
that will tell me
where is Allah in my life
is where salah in my life. And I
didn't say obligatory
salah.
Salah
in general. You know, what is the name
of salah? What is the origin of it?
Who knows a harabi in this room?
What is the origin of the word salah?
No. I want it in Arabic from
connection. Connection.
We say,
kinship,
relation.
Sadah is from Sweden. It's my conduction.
Look at it this way. This is my
conduction. It's my rope.
How strong is my rope?
I decide, not him.
He told me the strongest rope is when
you do 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
The weakest stroke is when you do the
5.
Most of the people in this room in
here.
Why?
Why?
How long we spend on social media?
Where do you know me from?
Right? I asked that. I keep asking, but
how do you know me? Do you follow
me? Of course, we do.
I
but why do I spend that much time
on social media and you're not seeing anything
from videos,
it's education.
But I don't have 5 minutes to do
Nafila.
What I'm gonna tell him when I'm standing
in front of him?
This is what I ask myself.
What will I say? I didn't have time?
I didn't know?
Your relationship with Allah is the salah.
That's why it says
the sign
of the sound heart. This is number 6.
When he or she
enter salah,
they forget everything else,
and it makes them feel so good.
And you feel good.
Try it.
I really ask you, all of you, when
in the day
something happens to you
and you and you don't feel good.
You got upset.
You get angry,
and you feel
a lot of of of,
hatred. Something happens.
Don't do anything.
Don't do anything.
It's an exercise. Try it. What you gonna
lose?
Go and doable.
Come out and do 2 ruka to Allah.
Read the shortest things you know, whatever you
know.
And after you say look
in here
and see how much
what you felt before is left in that
heart.
I've tried it so many times.
Sadah
is like
you know when you have headaches? What do
you take in Malaysia when you have headache?
Tylenol. You call it Tylenol?
And how do you feel?
Most of the time,
by Allah grace, the canon only works. Right?
Salah
wallahi
for my heart,
and should be for your heart, for all
of us,
is the cardinal of the headache.
Absolutely
changes. There's something change in the heart
after I say.
So don't you tell me
people
wants to talk about Al Hussein.
I want to go to Allah like Sayedna
Ibrahim.
I want my dua to be answered.
I want to feel good. I want generosity
for those. I want to be next to
Rasool alayhi salatu salam. I wanna see
Allah and you don't do
the nafira
of
said this. Let me ask you the question.
I'll tell you the hadith and we'll take
the break. How many of you want a
palace in Daniel?
How you will get it?
The person
who does
the the extra
that is the
that and we say
stressed upon. He did it all the time.
That person who does it
daily
has a palace agenda.
It's your choice.
It's my choice.
2 before fajr.
2 or 4 before Wuhr.
2 or 4 after Wuhr.
Nothing before or after Asar.
2 after Maghrib,
2 after Isha.
It's
don't leave. Tell yourself.
Don't move
before you do that sunnah. I saw it
yesterday. Now I can understand it.
Because in the Masjid, we are in the
Masjid. We finished the, and many of the
ladies came to me. I was like, what
happened to the sunnah?
I didn't say it because I'm I'm just
just arrived.
Tell yourself.
Teach yourself this.
How many of you you have children young?
5, 6, 7, 8, and there is red
lights,
red lines in the house.
Right?
You this is red line. How many times?
How many things yeah. You tell your child,
this you will not do.
This you will be in big trouble. How
many of you? We all have. Right?
This is how you discipline yourself.
You're gonna tell yourself
this rakat
of sunnah
nonnegotiable,
period.
Absolutely.
How long you need to make it a
habit?
Between 30 to 40 days. That's how they
teach you.
That's
it. That's it.
Now you get attached to the I didn't
say the follow-up. I didn't say the obligation.
I just didn't wanna hear the answer. So
I went right away for the extra.
You do this.
You do the extra,
and now you're gonna graduate
PhD.
You're gonna start doing the extra extra,
which is 2 or 2 after,
2 or 4 before,
2 before
and 2 before and.
Don't tell me.
Don't tell me
you want to go to Jannah.
You want to be in Jannah.
You want
and there is no in your
to do list.
The honor of the believer.
Even if it is only.
Even if it's only the water.
You do it after Asher or you do
it before you,
you do your fajr. That's a choice.
But the sign, the 6th sign of Al
Kalbous Salim
is your relationship with Salah.
I love it. I miss it. I enjoy
it,
and it is the coolness of my eyes.
May
Allah make it this way for all of
us.
I'm really grateful to Allah
number 1 to you. Really a good crowd,
masha'Allah.
This is no, really. I mean it. This
is not a top an easy topic.
This is a topic you probably most of
you have not heard it before.
Let alone come and practice it.
And and this is why when
we're preparing for this,
I love the the topics and the choices
because you wanna hear something not the same.
We need to change. And one of the
verses in the Quran that I really recommend
all of you read it and read it
and read it and read it with your
heart. It's a question. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
put it to us believers.
The iron.
And the verses start by the following.
Hasn't time come yet
for the believers,
for their hearts to surrender to
Allah.
And what have been sent to them from
the truth, meaning the Quran.
It's a question mark.
In the Quran,
some or one of the
themes of the Quran, and you will find
it repeatedly.
There is questions in the Quran with no
answer.
It's called rhetorical questions.
Allah throw the question
and where is the answer?
One of them,
which some of you also may be familiar
with, Allah said,
Isn't Allah enough for the servant?
Yes or no?
But there is no answer.
If you read, this is in Surat al
Zumr. They're groups.
Allah says,
isn't Allah enough for the people? And immediately
he he continue,
and they make you afraid of those who
are less than Allah. What is the answer?
What why I'm sharing this with you? When
you see a question in the Quran,
you all know Surah Tor Rahman?
Let me give you an example from this.
This will be even easier on you. What
is the repeated
verse in Surah Tor Rahman?
It's a question.
Which of the favors of your lord you
deny? Right?
Where is the answer?
Have you thought of this?
Where is the answer?
Where is it? I wanna hear it.
No. There's no answer.
You know why?
Because the answer is clear.
This one of the sunnah when you hear
this, you say we do not deny any
of them, you Allah.
So here back to the
and back to the time when we are
gonna change.
That's what the verse in Surat Al Hadid
when Allah says,
hasn't time come yet
for the believers
to change?
For their hearts to surrender to Allah? Yes
or no?
Is it time had
had time arrived?
Is it the time to change or not
yet? I need more time.
Answer me.
Of course, time started long time ago,
and I keep doing what?
Pushing it.
Procrastinated.
When I'm when I become 40,
when I get married, when I have children,
when the children finish school, when they go
to college,
and non ending
deadlines
and should be and when the Sahaba this
verse was sent to the Sahaba,
companion.
And when they heard it immediately, they said,
yes, you Allah, time has arrived.
This is what I want from all of
you. And make dua to Allah made me
do what I am telling you before anybody
else. You say to Allah
and learn the dialogue,
learn to talk to him.
You Allah, from today,
the journey will be different.
From today,
you brought me to this conference.
You made her speak this way. That means
you want me to change. Help me.
I want to be the Kaab of Sayyidina
Ibrahim,
but it's not easy.
And a lot of distractions.
And number 1 problem is me.
Honesty. Number 1 problem is not the people,
is me.
And he will help you.
Don't give up on yourself. As I said,
from the beginning, during, and at the end.
So number 7.
And that number 7, that your heart is
sound done or it's in the process.
You started the journey.
The thing that you worry about
day and night
is related to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
The worry, the concern,
what takes my energy, what focus
is what
pleases
Allah and
his forgiveness
and his mercy and loving mercy.
And I do things
to please him.
One of the also most beautiful
verses of the Quran that I have seen
it used in reality.
There's a verse
in where Sayidna
when Allah
talking to Sayidna Musa
in Paha.
And Allah is asking him, and of course,
Allah knows the answer. He said,
why
why
are you rushing,
running,
and you left your people?
The answer comes later and says,
I ran to you, you Allah,
so you are pleased with me.
I ran to you
you Allah
so you are pleased with me.
How many of us
don't show me hands.
Again, between you and Allah.
You say I am running.
I'm competing.
So Allah is pleased with me.
We compete for dunya, all of us.
I want my children to be as good
as my sister's children, if not better. I
want the house. I want them.
Them. But what about the akhira?
You know what I say to myself?
Why in Dunia?
And this is for everywhere.
Why in Dunia I want to be in
the best I wanna live in the best
house.
I want to be in the best neighborhood.
I want my children to go to the
best to best school.
Is that wrong?
No.
Why not?
As long as the means are, halal,
there's nothing wrong with that. I want to
be
and live in the best neighborhood. My neighbors
at least, you know, will be less headache
for me. Children go to the best school,
so I'm not worried about their education, what
they are learning.
And I want this and I want the
best.
So I come and ask myself this question.
Why not in the best seat in Jannah
then?
Why don't I wanna be in the best
room
in Jannah
next to me,
my neighbor is?
And
the next neighbor is Sahaba.
And the guest who's gonna come and visit
me is Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Why do we say,
let me just get to dinner?
Doesn't matter. Why?
Raise the bar.
Raise the bar of the akhira
like you raise the bar of dunya. Nothing
wrong with that. What is the most famous
dua that you all know?
Give us in this dunya Hasana.
Hereafter Hasana. It's the same word.
What does that teaches you?
I can have everything good in this life,
and I can have everything good in the
akhirah.
Really?
Yes?
Why the yes is no?
Yes or no?
So what is the problem then?
I tricked you.
What is the problem?
You all know the Dua. Right? What does
the Dua mean?
What does it mean, give me in this
duniya good, hasanah, and akhirah good?
So if that's the case, so what is
the problem?
How do they define Hasanah
in dunya?
Simple.
Easy.
Anything
that Allah gives you that will bring you
closer to him.
Done.
That's your dua.
Give me children, they will take me to
Jannah.
Give me spouse, she or he will take
me to Jannah.
Give me the best job, the best degree,
the best home, the it will take me
to Jannah.
So I want you to know this, having
duniya
doesn't mean I don't have akhira.
But having dunya only and focus dunya only
and I want everything in here, it will
affect there.
So hammahu,
your worry
is
I want children. You know, I say this
to my patients and sometimes they really look
at me.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala give every couple
children.
But I do see patients with infertility. I'm
an obstetrician
gynecologist.
Especially if I see her alone and I
say why do you want to have children?
She looks at me and I was like
what is this quest?
Because I wanted to change
the focus.
And I said, really? Why do you wanna
have children?
What is the communist question if I ask
you this? Why do you wanna have children?
What is the communist answer?
Bismillah.
I only hear murmurs,
so nobody wants to have children now.
Why do you wanna have children?
Number 1.
So they take care of me when I
get older.
Right?
Yes?
Good
luck.
I don't know about Malaysia. I can't say
anything about Malaysia.
I don't know the culture.
But I tell you in the west, it's
changing
even with Muslims.
What is the other reason you want to
have children?
So?
Oh, so they will pray for me when
I die?
I can't comment.
That's how I will say.
But don't put all your eggs in one
basket
Because there's 3 options when I die. You
know that. Right? Adam,
when the son of Adam dies, right,
his deeds will be severed except 3.
1 is
sadaqatunjariyah,
continuous charity.
2nd is,
a knowledge that is beneficial. And 3rd is,
he didn't say a child.
What did he say?
Righteous
child
that will pray.
May Allah give you all righteous children.
But I will ask a question.
Everybody has a righteous child.
How often you make you all are righteous.
May Allah even make you better.
How often you make dua for your grandmother?
Grandmother, not your mother.
How about your great grandmother?
What's her name?
What am I telling you?
50 years from now,
believe me, nobody will remember us.
You like it or you don't like it,
it's reality.
You go to a graveyard.
Right? And if you go I don't know
if you if you visit the graveyard here,
but if you go, I always do this.
And I just don't go only to the
grave where I wanna go. I start walking
and I see all these names. And I
keep reminding myself one day my name will
be there.
And you look at people, you know, born
in 191900,
and then they died in 1940, who remembers
them now?
So when you want to have children,
so they will pray for you. There's nothing
wrong with that.
But don't depend on this because again 50
and 60 they are very righteous.
But then as time pass by,
we don't remember them.
We don't I don't remember my grandmother that
often. Alhamdulillah. I still remember my parents. Alhamdulillah.
Work on the other 2.
Make sure you have a continuous charity in
your name.
The easiest one is
well of water,
Whoever gonna drink from it, that's your continuous
charity. And the second one,
Write a book. Sponsor a book.
Sponsor a child
or, a student of knowledge. There's a lot
of opportunities
to do good.
Okay? So back to the kalboussaneen.
Your
focus
your focus
should be everything. This is why we claim
to the children.
Everything that Allah gives me
will take me to Jannah.
That's the focus.
So when Allah gives you a good home,
finally, you worked hard, the money is halal,
there's nothing wrong with it. How I'm gonna
make this house,
this house that's my dream
and Allah gave it to me? How I'm
gonna make this dream
my path to Jannah? How I'm gonna make
this PhD that I really wanted, worked for
it for years,
my path to Jannah?
How I'm gonna make this OBGYN that it
took me at least 12 years,
16 years to get to the degree and
training and everything. How I'm gonna make this
16 years hasanah
that will give me hasanah and the akhira.
That's the question.
If you focus on akhira, again,
your focus is
is Allah happy with me? How I'm gonna
take what I have to make it for
Allah
Number 1, again, I'm gonna remind everybody, make
sure it's halal.
The way you are achieving things is halal.
There is no obedience to Allah by the
end through disobedience.
And
the verse I shared with you about Sayedna
Musa, do it quickly.
The obedience of Allah run to it.
Run to Allah. Don't delay it.
Don't delay it. Somebody asked me yesterday, I
really wanna do my hijab. I said tonight
you do it,
not tomorrow because you could you could die.
Tonight to the right now.
Hasn't time come? The answer is yes.
From today,
whatever I said in the last two and
a half hours that hit your heart,
that you said she's talking to me. Again,
I don't know. I'm just assuming.
And this is exactly what I needed to
hear. Do it today.
Quickly.
We have no idea
how long we will live.
Nobody
has
received a letter from Allah
saying don't
worry, you're dying in 2035,
you have another 12 years, do whatever you
want.
We don't.
None.
The only reality,
true reality of this life is what?
Everything in this life is a possibility.
True or false?
Except one thing.
Death. Yaqeen. That's why Allah called it Yaqeen
in the Quran. Certainty.
Allah said this at the last verse of
Surat Al Hajar.
Worship your Lord till you face Yaqeen,
certainty
is actually done.
