Six things.
Everything Allah loves
and pleased.
Words,
actions,
internal
and external.
Meaning,
translate. I always when I read and I
was like, okay. Let's translate so I know
what I'm saying.
When I'm in and when I'm in my
daily life,
I know what that mean.
Okay? Give you an example.
So when I was landing, of course, the
plane was full, and they made an announcement
that some people have connections and it is
very short connections. Can you please stay in
your place if you are in, like, your
final destination is Houston?
Right.
So I said, okay.
And then I came to my mind, okay.
This has to be a good deed. I
want my reward with Allah.
I need my reward with Allah. So what
is this definition?
Does Allah love for me to make the
life of somebody else easy?
Yes or no?
Is that external or internal?
That's external
because I moved I I was able I
could I was, like, in the front. I
could have easily moved. I I stayed,
and I made people
move.
And I said, he likes that, and that's
and he's pleased with it the way especially
me.
Especially me. And this is especially for the
sisters.
Right? In my jirbaab, in my,
hidaab. Right?
Yohan. Yes. He loves it because I made
it easy. You're pleased with yes. Because I
did it the way it pleases him. Is
it an action? Yes. Is it an external?
Yes. I just did an act of worship.
I didn't pray.
I didn't fast.
I did read Quran.
That's what needs to be changed
For us, Muslims,
when you come and I again saw it
here and it is the usual. I'm sure
all the imams in this world agree with
me. When you, Anwar al Masjid,
brothers and sisters,
and you put your shoes in a way
that it is in the way, oh, you
disobeyed Godma,
and you're going for salah.
Does Allah loves that?
Does Allah likes that?
Is that an action?
Is that external?
How long it will take me to pick
up the shoes and put it in a
place?
One second, if not 2.
Why don't I do
it? Because I don't look if there's an
act of worship. Are you all with me?
This is what happens.
Small, small,
I hurt somebody I didn't know, but somebody
came in and tripped.
I hurt. That's a sin,
especially in the Masjid.
I hurt a Muslim. That's a sin,
and it will take me away from Allah
gradually, gradually, gradually. The opposite is true.
Change the followings.
Change
the meaning of Ibadah.
We became rituals.
We became rituals.
Again, Ramadan
in and out fasting
and spiritual
and the Imam just read and he made
the dua and I was sobbing. The whole
Masjid was sobbing.
I leave
less than 5 minutes. As I am leaving
I hurt this person.
I blocked that person in my car.
What is that?
Versus if I pay attention to every step
I am connected with Allah.
The more I am connecting with Allah, he's
gonna protect me. He's gonna open my eyes.
And memorize this everybody, every good deed
open the door for another good deed,
and every bad deed
open the door for another bad deed,
And the choice is mine and yours.
That's why Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala always said
it's your choice.
May isha, you go and do whatever you
want.
Just in that private interview with Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala, I say to myself, I better
have a good excuse.
Why didn't I do it, or why did
I do it?
Since
gradually,
gradually, gradually, and I'm focusing on the this
is not a minor or a major. I
am focusing on the hidden ones.
The hidden ones. You come for Jummah. I
don't know if you had the same problem
here in Hymrista, but it's many of the
Masajid. We have a problem in parking.
Right? Everywhere.
And here you go, you're coming for Jumuah
and it's an obligation
to preneas Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, and you
block somebody else.
You came late, you blocked.
Right? And you said to yourself, you know
what? I'm gonna rush
after the jumuah, and I'll move my car.
I can feel I can find an excuse,
but you are blocking somebody,
and you're standing there talking to people, and
they make announcements,
and you still did it all. Sisters and
brothers. It's not only the brothers.
That's a sin, and I gradually,
again,
again,
settle.
We can. Of course, it weakens.
It weakens. Why? Because every time I am
you sin. That's another concept I want everyone
to learn.
Every time I sin
there is a dark spot
is going to be put in my heart.
When the son of Adam or the servant
disobey Allah, that's why I am I want
us all
to way expand
our definition of sins,
and don't tell me about salah only or
Quran only or hijab only or treating parents
only. That's for sure, but that's not it.
That's not it. Abu Bambam
is a Sahabi.
Araswah alayhi salatu wa sallam asked him,
what do you have special that I saw
in your injanina?
You know what he said?
He said and he was even surprised if
if I remember the story well.
And he said nothing
other than every night when I sleep,
I have already donated my
my, honor
and my wealth
to anybody who who took it that day.
Meaning, I forgave everybody.
That's just
that's it.
The opposite is a sin.
Opposite is a sin.
Let alone backbiting.
Let alone I'm looking down at people. Let
alone for the youth. You are
making fun of people. You're bullying people. These
are sins.
These are actions,
words,
feedings
that Allah does not love and Allah is
not praised with.
And every time I do this,
a dark spot is in my heart.
The problem is I don't know these are
even cells, so I don't even ask for
forgiveness.
And it stays
and stays and stays till my heart becomes,
I call it,
black dirty.
Allah said it. Nay,
Their heart was
rusted
as a result of what they were doing.
We need to change.
You always wonder what did they do
that they changed the world, and we are
seeing it these days with the people of
Gaza.
I'm sure everyone in this room
asked
herself or himself
what do they have on their hearts
that in spite of this 3 months,
you did not hear a single word from
anyone
of disobedience of Allah.
Did you?
They killed their family. They killed their children.
They bomb.
Alhamdulillah, the house is completely destroyed. He says,
Alhamdulillah, have you seen this is at the
beginning? Alhamdulillah, and his son was carrying the
cat.
He says, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, You tawwad, it's going
to come back.
What is it in the heart
that even in that most
painful moment
you don't come out saying other than
the famous
word,
soul of the soul.
What is that?
That's faith.
That's connection with Allah.
That's what we have missed it.
The more we disobey Allah this becomes weaker
and weaker and weaker and weaker,
and the more I resist I want this
also to be clear to everybody.
The more I resist the simnis
and or and this is good news for
everyone.
When I sin, we all gonna sin.
All the children of Adam are sinners. Ask
not my word.
That's what Rasool Ali saw at Usina.
Every child of Adam
is a sinner.
Great. Let's go and sin.
No.
And the best among the sinners are those
who
repent.
As Allah said it in Suratul Rahman and
Suratul Furqan when he was talking about Ibadul
Rahman, the servants,
the best, the best of the best.
And then he said
all the major sins,
killing,
associating with Allah,
fornication,
says illa, except they've done all that.
Tauba,
repent.
Wa'amana.
Believe.
Wa'amila'amanaan
salihan.
And followed it by a good deed.
So here I am.
We are all sinners. That's not an open
invitation to sin, but that's reality.
That's reality.
Human beings who's creating the weak. I can't
say, no, I'm not gonna sin. Then I'm
not creating a reality or I don't know
what sin mean.
But what should I do?
The whisper of shaytan, no.
Immediately. Acknowledge.
Say I did. He knows.
Angel already wrote it, but I'm gonna say
I did. I was weak.
I love it. I fell to it. It's
fine.
Jane, do me a you Allah forgive me.
You Allah, please help me not to do
it again and follow it by a good
deed.
You backbite somebody?
Said something about her on him?
Follow the definition of backbiting?
It's not okay, but it happened. I did
it. Don't say it's a mistake
and tell people what did I do? Fine.
It's written.
Major.
That's a major sin immediately.
Ask Allah for forgiveness,
and if you cannot apologize to that person,
make du'a for them.
The same way you do for yourself.
This is a Ta'ba.
I repented, and I'm not gonna do it
again. That'll be please make it easy for
me.
And I believe
and you'll do a good deed.
That's it. This bad deed will be replaced
into a good deed. That's black dot in
your heart now is literally remember this every
time you have an eraser.
When
you have an eraser,
this black dot is removed and a white
dot
put in it.
The question, Allahu Akbar.
A question for everybody.
Again, for you. I throw a lot of
questions to you because without questions, we will
not gonna I call it wake up.
How many black dots in my heart?
How many black dots that I don't even
know about?
And that's why Rasul, as salatu, wasalam, said,
Place in Jannah
for that person who in his book or
her book there is a lot of forgiving
asking for forgiveness. Why?
A lot. Because we do a lot of
sins and we don't
know. I have no idea I even sinned.
I didn't pay attention.
But the moment I say astaghfirullah,
astaghfirullah,
astaghfirullah, it's all removed.
So two things
I just shared with you because we always
again, I'm a physician.
It's not enough to tell you what's wrong
with you.
I have to tell you how we're gonna
help you. Otherwise, I'm not a good physician.
But without knowing what is the problem, I
can't help. And that's what I say to
myself. Number 1, I'm gonna say,
I and you and all of us are
prone to sin.
That's not an open invitation.
Number 2, Shaytan is gonna work on every
possible
opportunity
to make me slip and fall
because he wants me to be where he
will be or where he is already.
And number 3,
never despair.
Let alone you make somebody disappear.
Don't you ever say to yourself,
I I the reason I'm saying this because
I get these questions,
but you don't know what I did. Honestly,
I say I don't care.
This is what I say. I say, I
don't care. Do you say ilaha illa Allah?
And they look at me and says, of
course. I said, Alhamdulillah,
done.
Go ask Allah for forgiveness.
Ask Allah to make it easy not to
do it again.
Remove
all the reasons
that made that sin easy
and follow it by a good deed.
Every good deed times,
10,
and every bad deed times,
1.
And, when you read that,
the height,
there is people on the day of Jannah,
they will be in the middle.
Neither they are in Jannah
nor they are in the hellfire.
Right? And
the people of the height look to the
people of Jannah.
Right?
And then they look at the people of
the hellfire.
Say, in Abdullah, Nabas on the commentary of
this verse,
listen to this.
Don't tell me I wish I'm the people
of Anaraf.
At least I'm not in Jahannam. No.
He said, I wonder.
I wonder.
How can a Muslim
be from the people of an Arab
and every good deed times 10?
And every good deed times 10. Do you
know what that means?
That means for every good deed I do,
I have done 10
sins
to make it equal.
Then I am in the middle.
I am neither here nor there.
We can't.
We can't. What else Allah do to us
or give us how generous He can be
more?
So, I'm not going to depend on
1 times 10 because I don't know how
many
I have there. I am going to depend,
number 1, on rahmatullahiyah.
Allah is Ghafoor Rahim. When I feel so
down, when I feel so hopeless, that's when
Hafu El Rahim comes to
me. And then I'm gonna say, as long
as I have a blessing
and all of us
there's still hope in.
Takbanet tofir, the meaning of the repentance of
the son of Adam, is accepted
as long
as the soul
meaning the soul did not reach here.
We still have hope.
And we have, a ram
a Lord
Allah, that's
and He doesn't want to punish us.
And He said it in Suratul Nisa,
What will Allah get from punishing
In shakartu mu'amantu.
Only 2 things.
That's what he wants from you and me.
Everything he gave me,
everything he gave me, and I don't deserve
it.
And, most of us in this room, maybe
few exceptions, Islam was given to us on
a on a plate of gold.
Right?
And, some of us don't want it. It's
too it's too difficult.
Naula Allahu Raheem He would have taken it.
What does Allah get from punishing me? That's
what he said.
Just be grateful
and believe.
And Allah is all hearing, all
seeing.
Let's change our relationship with Allah.
Let's make Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, priority.
Let's make Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, not when
I have time.
I have Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and when
I have time I'm gonna do the other
things. Let's change every act that we do
on our daily life as long as it
is halal.
Change it to an act of worship
with your niyyah.
That's something that also was given to us
as this is the only religion where the
niyyah intention is there.
All these are judged and rewarded by the
intention.
Make sure you have an ilia.
Don't say to yourself I can't put today
to see me.
Then that's not for Allah.
Who am I? May Allah forgive me before
everybody else. You Rabbi, I came to learn.
You Rabbi, I came to get close to
you. You Allah, make it easy. You Rabbi,
make me open open my heart and my
ears so I learn.
You Allah, make me when I leave whatever
I heard. I'm gonna practice it. You Allah,
make it easy. Do you think He will
not listen to you? Then you don't know
her.
Do you think He will not respond?
Then you don't know her.
Change your nia in everything, in everything in
life.
From getting married to having children to being
successful,
to getting to college, to everything in this
life that says halal.
Make it act of worship,
and then your right hand will have I
don't know if it will have enough time
to write.
Compete to write
and don't let shaitan
have any rule or any way on you.
May Allah subhanahu wa'ala make us among those
who listen to the word of admonition
and follow the best of it. May Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala protect us from ourselves,
from sins, from the effect of shaytan on
us. If I've said anything correct, it's from
Allah and Allah only. If I said anything
wrong, it's from me, the impact of shaytan.
And how of my nafs, I seek refuge
in Allah, the tide remind you of him,
and I forget him. Ameen jazakoullah kayr.
