The sign that you care about Allah is
you care about his deen,
and you are so upset when when Allah
is being disobeyed
the same way when you are upset when
member of your family
disobey you or hurt you.
Well, we don't.
Mostly, it's not my problem. I don't want
her to feel bad or him.
How many of us do that?
No. No. No. I can't say this. No.
She's gonna get upset.
Or you know what? I need this.
And we have so many long list of
excuses.
And the reason
we are the best ummah
should be
You are the best nation that was sent
to people. Why?
Just because?
Just because we look different or we speak
different or I come from this country or
not even because number 1 I believe in
Allah.
This is the person Ali Imran you all
know, Khayir Ummu you're the best nation,
ta umruoona bil ma'rufiyutanhauna
anilmukr,
you're enjoying good
and you prevent evil.
Where is it?
Where is it? It's disappearing, and I'm not
talking about the world, and I'm talking about
us. This is the community. We are a
small community, we're a small nation,
We're supposed to be the best, right?
Where are we?
Don't say anything, she will get upset. Don't
say anything, she will whatever. When will I
say that?
What will I say to Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala?
Not only that, but please forgive me, but
this is painful.
We don't even care internally
and when I see somebody disobeying Allah, okay,
it's not my business.
How can it be not my business?
Don't you want everybody to be in Jannah?
Do I wanna be only me or you?
We all wanna go to Jannah, and I
want everybody to go to Jannah, and you
want me to be with you, and I
want you to be with me. But this
is not gonna happen because we are weak.
We have no fools. There's so much pressure
outside. The duniya is beautiful. Whoever tells you
duniya ugly, he didn't or she didn't live
in it. And it's most of it is
against
Islam.
True or false?
Jannah is hadith of Rasool alaihi wa sallahu
alaihi wa sallam. Jannah is surrounded by everything
we don't like.
And
the hellfire is surrounded by everything we like.
So my job and your job on this
earth is is to remind each other.
You don't have to be a,
and you have all a lot of information.
It's just the way you see it, you
know it. And if somebody throws something in
the masjid, do I need to have a
PhD in Islamic studies to know this is
wrong?
Do you like this in your home? Do
you accept it in your home?
Yes or no?
Then why do we okay with it in
the Masjid?
No one cares.
It's there. It's there. She
I don't care I throw it, and you
don't care you saw me throwing it. So
are you all with me? I want you
with this, and I'm gonna share with you
now what is the parable. So Allah said
to Rasool alaihi wa sallahu alaihi wa sallam,
tell them the story. So basically Allah said
this is the parable of
the of the town
or the city. Messengers
came to them, 2 of them. Our sunna
ilayhim is named Faqadd Abuhuma.
We sent 2 of them.
They rejected them. You're liars. So we send
a third one.
So they said, ma'antubillah basharomikluna.
You're people like us.
You're liars.
Now 3 messengers from Allah, and when they
responded, our job
is to deliver the message.
Clearly,
the discussion between the messengers
and the people ended.
This man lives at the outskirt of the
city,
place very far.
What was he doing?
Running.
He cared
about his people,
but before that he cared about
Allah.
Qala yar Qomi, he's talking to people.
Tabi'al Musaheen,
Follow them.
Follow them.
How did he know they were coming? He
heard it. He just heard that they are
messengers. He was a person who lived alone
far away.
Tabia ul Musaleen.
Now he's trying to convince them.
My people,
follow the messenger,
the messengers. And then what did he say?
Follow those who are
don't want anything from you. He was talking
to them, they start throwing stones on him
till he died.
Aurajamoo,
they cast him. That's why Allah said to
him immediately,
prayed at Khulil Jannah.
Immediately.
That's the only thing he did.
He cared
cared about his people,
cared about Allah, cared about the deen. It
was his priority.
Otherwise he would have said I have nothing
to do with them. I'm living alone at
the end. No. They wanna listen. They want.
They don't. Allah will take them accountable. True
or false?
No.
Not the people who care.
He even made dua for them. They were
casting him and he said, Yalla, please forgive
them. They don't know.
This is what we need. We need to
be caring people about each other, not only
about my child or my career or my
house or my family. We we are we
are becoming gradually, and I'm not talking about
here. I'm talking in general.
We're becoming an ummah of me,
not an ummah of us.
Us. That's why this is the only
deen religion that have salatul jama'ah,
congressional prayer with all the rulings and everything.
So he was talking to them, but and
he said
I believe in your Lord. Listen to me.
That's what the only thing he asked them.
Listen.
Just listen.
And now we don't even listen.
He said listen. They didn't. They start casting
him.
Immediately Allah tells you and me. Nothing about
he died or how he died or where
he was buried because that's not important.
Now look how much he cared.
What did he say in jannah? I told
you
you go to jahannam and I'm gonna look
at you.
I wish my people know
how
Allah forgave me
and He honored me.
He was not bragging.
He was telling his people what?
You don't know what you are missing.
In in our words, you don't know what
you are missing. You know once when you
say to somebody,
young or everyone, you say I'm going to
this place. I'm telling you it's really beautiful.
I'm tired. You know what? I just don't
wanna go out today. That's okay. So you
go. What do you do?
Start taking pictures
and you start sending and saying you don't
know what you are missing.
Right? And now you feel so upset, and
you said stop sending
me because now I'm feeling jealous.
But that was Jannah.
In Jannah,
and they cast him to death,
and he said, You laita kawmi alamu.
He thought about
his people, not his family,
not his children, not his spouse
or parents, kawmi.
How Allah forgave me.
Forgave me? For what? For doing what?
He didn't say Allah rewarded me for what
I did to you.
Are you with me? That's arrogance.
When you start bragging about what you do
indirectly
for everything in your career, in your studies,
with your family, how your children are very
successful, you're basically praising yourself.
Where is your your daughter all studying at
Harvard? Why do I need to know this?
Why?
Because he brag.
I'm waiting for the
compliment
because if she is or he is going
to that university, meaning I did
a good job,
did I do it?
No.
And that's what he said. Nothing about himself.
You know I told you I came running
from the far away from the from the
outskirt of the city coming to you, I
told you didn't listen to me, see what
Allah gave me.
No. Ghafaraliirambi.
You Allah, may Allah give us this humbleness.
This is humbleness.
