As this is somewhat of an impromptu request
and
my father is here as well and I
don't want him to like
get bored or fall asleep because I promise
you this is not gonna impress it.
Where's moustieben hide moustieze? They can sympathize.
Monsha.
Right? So,
a couple of quick
words
for tonight
related to
the surahs that were
recited
in the salah, in the salah of Tawhi.
We read this
which
is narrated that the
read in the 2nd
of
Jumah. Is that not is that not
correct? But at least at one time
it's authentically narrated that you read at that
time. So you'll notice many
of the imams and hadees
oftentimes would prefer to recite something Hasmar Al
Baq and Allah
and,
in in the Juba Futbah, that's why.
And so there's supposed to be something
that the prophet, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
wanted to emphasize to that crowd and if
he did it more than once, if it
was actually a habit and custom of his,
then that makes it all the more important
for us just to think about what's being
spoken about
in both of these.
And
Allah Subhanahu WA Ta'ala asks has the news
the hadith of the
of that thing that kind of over overwhelms
covers over and and and just kind of
submerges everything else.
Have you heard the news about that? What
is that? The is the day of judgment.
The faces on that day will be
humiliated or and and and and and and
odd and complete completely
subdued.
This is something very important. What is it?
People who have done a lot of work
and tired themselves out.
So who are the faces that are being
talked about?
This is not like the the the the
and the angels are saying, you know,
The
people being talked about here are who. Right?
That that the
angels say, you
are good people.
So now enter into Jannah forever.
This is the scene of people who are
probably not gonna have fun time
at least for now.
However, they describe,
There are people who did a lot of
work and just hired them out themselves
up.
Meaning what?
Hard work, it's not gonna get the job
done.
Hard work may be part of this part
of the story of someone's success.
It may be an essentially ingredient in many
people's success.
But it's not what gets you success.
From the
The one who tells you,
screw you around. You know, the more money
you have, the less problems you're gonna have.
Ask Vicky how did that work out.
Right? So the more money you have, the
more more the more more solutions you have,
the less problems you'll have, the more you'll
be able to solve your problems because your
problems are all gonna be something that can
be treated with money. Right?
Donald Trump, if that were true, he would
be the sultan of the holy up. Right?
And we'd be naming our massages after Britney
Spears and whatever,
Kim Kardashian and her, like, whatever stepfather, whichever
gender he chooses to be today.
Obviously, it's not I mean it's a an
ingredient.
It's part of the solution
but it's not what makes this thing work.
So he says
the person who tells you is gonna solve
your problems The person who tells you is
gonna solve
your problems for you, the person cheating cheated
you. They're a hustler. There's a they're they're
they're
a sales a salesperson.
Life is pain.
Anybody who's telling you other than that they're
trying to sell you something they're hustling. They're
trying to get what they want out of
you. You mentioned something if you heard in
the of, Hakim after Moana, Hakim after Sabra
He said that there was, once a man,
he went to a boxing match.
Boxing is Haram, by the way. He can't
punch people in the face. I'm sorry. I
mean, I I'm like, it's fine. We love
Muslim boxers and stuff, but, like, the he
can't punch people in the face. But what
someone who went through a boxing match and
he's he's sitting the guy next to him
in the bleachers, he's yelling, punch him in
the mouth. Punch him in the mouth.
And every you know, like, at certain times,
if you punch him in the mouth, it
was just the one thing he yells at
the at the boxers, you know? And so
the the guy's watching the boxing message. This
guy next to me must be some sort
of expert. He's like identified his weakness and
he's giving some expert advice, like a coach
or something.
And then,
he
hears him say punch him in the mouth,
like for the whatever kind of time. And
then he goes, oh, are you some sort
of, like, trainer or coach or, like, are
you, like, an expert? He said, no. I'm
a dentist.
The person who tells you, oh, dunya, dunya,
dunya, They're they're cheating
you. What are these stupid corporate jobs that
we all run after? That we all want
to, oh, no. We get a big job
at Google. I get a big job at
Microsoft, at Apple, at Facebook, at whatever. You
know, like, whatever. It's fine. No. I'm not
choosing one of them for for my iron.
They're all just as putrid.
If you get a job with us, like,
this is awesome. If I park there, a
valet will take my car away, and I
have a heated seat and, like, a $1,000
keyboard and, like, 10 monitors and, you know,
the the fridge is stocked full of, like,
hyper,
level 7 organic,
super natural, ultra, high protein,
low carb, gluten free, you know, this and
that
drink that when you drink it, you know,
like you
whatever happens and it it costs like those
costs like $17 each and I was down
like 5 to home yesterday at work and
you know, and there's a gym and they'll
like
wash my dog for me and they'll do
my laundry for me and if I wanna
sleep, there's a bed in the room and
it's just really amazing and all this other
stuff. It's just, oh, someone thinks, oh, yeah.
You got it made. Right?
You're an idiot. If they were not making
more money from the work that you're doing
than than it cost to give you all
of that stuff, you and them would have
no conversation to have in the 1st place.
They would have called security
on you if you tried to knock at
the door. Honestly, look at yourself. They probably
would have called security, like, from at least
500 meters away.
What is it? They're making something off of
you, and they're telling you, oh, look. This
is where you do so much doing it.
It's gonna solve your problems. It's just it's
just a scam. It's a hustle.
Why?
You give up your life so that you
somehow put your plan in the end, you
know, all the way until the end with
them. And then the the the the time
that you're gonna need them, they're gonna be
like sayonara suckers where where we're gonna leave
you with the traditional Japanese greeting of sayonara
suckers and that's it.
It's done.
And then he says in the person who
tells you to do deeds,
he's talking about good deeds like salat and
fasting and, you know, the good deeds and
the deed.
That person has done what? It's okay. It's
a shit. Right? He's gonna say something nice
about that. Right? So what? That person is
just you out. It's like running you in
the hamster
wheel. There are so many people,
they come to Tarawi every every night, and
they get very little out of it except
for, like,
they think about how they're gonna file their
taxes again for next year or they think
about who they who who annoys them or
who they hate or who, you know, which
team they're gonna like or what they're gonna,
you know, have for Suhur or Iftar or
any of these other stupid things.
It's not for what? It's not for the
the the the love of Allah to add.
We don't have a lot to add. This
is my
I love him. I want him to love
me. If
you want to pull the mercy of Allah
it comes with like, you know, like, like
a drawstring that you can pull it down
so you don't have to reach up to
the top of the curtains to pull it
down. There's a drawstring you can pull it
down with. What's the drawstring of Allah Ta'ala's
mercy?
It's within reach. It's a class.
You do something with sincerity for the sake
of Allah. Subhanahu wa ta'ala. It's very
you know. You do something with perfection,
with no
admixture, no adulteration whatsoever. That's that's how it
brings it. But on the flip side, what
happens if you put tainted it, Mafumu Khalifa
is what? I know the Hanafis don't look
that's not an absolutely thing for you guys.
Right? But at any rate, the right? What's
the the the idea is that the opposite
is then a problem that if you're not
doing something with the cloth, then you can
do so many deeds in your life and
you're completely watering them down. And you tell
me any good deed you can think of,
I'll show you some people who completely mucked
it up and made made garbage out of
it.
They're masajid.
They're masajid.
I can tell you which other Masjid a
fight happened
because of which this Masjid is built. Now
tell me, it shouldn't surprise you people are
arguing with one another?
This is Dar es Salaam. Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala accept.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala give Baraka. Allah to
Allah forgive any shortcomings and Allah, give the
best of what the intentions were for it.
It's like,
Disneyland
that there's, like,
here and there's in the back and upstairs
downstairs different tera'ah, different
whatever.
And
you know,
the Quran is being read.
They're messaged with them like you really to
be honest with you walking distance, you know,
some of them. If you're, avid walker like
me.
That they won't they won't read the Quran.
They won't finish the Quran. They won't read
20 rakas. They won't finish the Quran.
Nor will they allow
it
to
be
read. They won't even allow it to be
read. They won't even allow it to be
read.
This reading of the Quran, it's
not
it's not just like a thing they see
people do.
The Rasul Sallallahu Alaihi Salam, his friends and
foes alike have accused him of many things
and held him to do many things. But
truly, nobody is in in on all, like,
honesty or with any credibility accused him of
being from India or Pakistan.
He used to make Quran
every
Ramadan with whom we say.
Which proves that this is the it's a
of above the
above the.
It's a it's a good thing. It may
not be far, but it's a good thing.
We should want it.
Still
forget about
DuPage County.
This you're having in Dar salam in.
Right? It's not even gonna happen in the,
in the in the in the,
around the Kaaba.
It's not even gonna happen at least on
it's not good to happen in the message
of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Some
pious soul may do a katham on their
own. Allah accept it from them as as
a from the message of the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam.
What does that mean?
It's like a it's it's a big deal.
People do all sorts of stuff. They could
completely you know, and I'm not saying, fine.
If they're gonna, like, not have a in
all of these places here or there, and
it's because we don't want people to die
of corona or whatever, whether it's a right
decision, it's a wrong decision, I leave it
to the doctors and to the experts and
whatever, and I'll stay in my lane and
whatever. But the fact of the matter is
is what? There are people any deed any
deed you can look at, any deed you
can think of,
they'll botch it up no matter how great,
how grand it is. And effects of it
will travel in a line.
Like when you, you know, like for example,
if you cut a diamond, the diamond will
fracture along crystal and plane.
The break doesn't just stop where the where
where where the where where you strike it.
It will go all the way down through
and it trace through until it's logical end.
What does what does that mean?
This is a very specific and a very
small lesson.
It was very difficult for me to learn
and then to come to peace with conceptually.
Comically difficult. It should be so much easier
to understand.
But Alhamdulillah, Allah Ta'ala shows you eventually it's
better than never knowing it all which is
what? You don't have to do a lot.
You can do a little bit but just
do it right.
You don't have to do a lot. You
can do a little bit but just do
it right.
If you're gonna make your wudu, make your
wudu properly.
Make your wudu properly means what? Not just
like I saw like Sheikh,
Imam,
Google, questionanswer.com.org.Islam.qa.whatever.
Said that this is okay and that's okay.
This flies and that flies.
No.
You get you'll take the job for the
level 7 organic
2
2 rakahas 2 rakahas if somebody knew how
to pray 2 rakahas properly, the Umma wouldn't
have the problems that it has.
If somebody knew how to read the fashah
properly,
Umma
wouldn't have the problems that it has.
Fatah has too much. Who's gonna concentrate for
7 ayaats? It's too much concentration. Musaat is
too much concentration. Really, it's too much.
Marshall, I heard one of the young young
young men, they, Marshall,
goes, you know, that's very difficult to do
for so many hours. This is so many
hours. They're good. This guy is much more
able to
able to do it for, like, in 30
seconds. I'll take Bey'a with him right now
in front of everybody. We're to start a
revolution. Don't don't think of an elephant. Right?
It's done. It's finished. Who has the ability
to do that? People do but I'm just
saying it's not easy.
The point is it's fine. Just do it
right even if it's very little.
Why? Because the day of judgement is described
as what? For the people of Jahannul, it's
described as what?
Amiralatun
Nasifa.
Amiralatun
Nasifa, doing a lot of work, getting very
tired.
And
what's
the? Roasted indeed.
Hot hot fire in the hot fire. And
more, itania, you know, like, I'm a big
guy. I'm not a I'm a big guy.
Okay? So you can imagine I sweat when
I give a hookahab, people hand me, you
know, like tissues and knuckles to wipe my
sweat. It's one of the things, the most
infuriating things to me in the world. I
hate it when someone does that. Don't do
it. Just keep your tissue.
Cookbook will over very soon. This talk will
be over very soon, I promise you.
I used to sweat so much in Mauritania
that you make sense of that because the
carpet there's no carpet, there's just sand. Literally,
it's like a cake, like pile of, like,
wet sand, a clump of it right there.
You can tell right great. And so the
Bedouins would walk by and they're joking.
It's like, Hamza. Hamza. Okay. How's it going?
Hamza?
Hamza, is it hot? Oh, yeah. It's just
a little hot.
Hamza, the same word. Right? Same word.
That you'll be that that person
that tires themselves out in working.
What will they do?
They'll be roasted
in in in in in in a in
a in a very hot hot fire.
What does that mean?
That means whatever you're gonna do, do a
little bit of it or do a lot.
Saying don't do a lot. But the first
thing that the first box you have to
check before getting to how much of it
am I doing, you the first box you
have to check is what? Am I doing
it well or not?
Is this being done
correctly or not? Is this being done right
or not? And the thing that starts wrong,
more more likely than not ends wrong. There
are exceptions to the rule, but the rule
is what? If It starts wrong, it's gonna
end wrong. So what's the point of starting
something you're not gonna do it correctly? Go
ahead and start it in a correct manner,
in a good manner. It starts with your
intentions. It starts with the way that you
go about doing it. You know? Don't come
to Dar es Salaam because it's, like, more
comfortable than, like, another.
Come here because with the Minhaz is the
best teacher in town.
Because Mufti
Azim is the best teacher in town because
because, you know, Moana Abdulrahman Yaqo who studied
in Cape Town and studied with,
you know,
Mufti Baha and with,
you know, and
what if he's the best guy in town,
that's what I'm gonna do. You sit with
him even for 30 days. If if really
if the teacher is the best in the
world, you sit with him 30 days, you'll
you'll get more than
what? That another person is gonna get in
their 10 years of studying in place. I've
seen the examples of both of them. And
whatever you're gonna do, do it right. For
God's sakes, do it right. Don't waste your
time. Don't waste another person's time that you
should also be included in the list of.
Like like you've become like a meme. You
know what? You you you you know memes.
Right? You know memes. You know memes, right?
Uh-huh. Right? You've heard of him before, right?
There's a meme of a guy who's like
on a bicycle in the first frame and
then the second frame he sticks
a stick in the spoke and then in
the 3rd frame he falls over and the
bike is all messed up and he's grabbing
his knee that he injured his knee and
then he cusses somebody else. Whatever,
whoever else you feel in the, you know,
the, you know, you guys are familiar with
how to do that. Inshallah, maybe you can
make some money with that afterward, right?
But that's it's funny why because people do
stupid things like that. Why are you gonna
blame somebody else?
You didn't come to study properly. You didn't
come to tarawi properly. You didn't to your
salah properly, you didn't come to the Fatihah
property, you didn't say
properly, you didn't even bother to say Allah
properly.
There are people, you know, that the word
that they say these things like other places
where people don't even know how to say
the shahadatay.
And,
people are, oh, these guys are just making
it up. They're just making they're just exaggerating.
I'll show you people in in, like, Lombard.
They don't know how to say that and
I have the law properly.
Oftentimes, they end up getting the adhan as
well. Not here, but, like, oftentimes, they end
up doing the adhan as well.
And if you try to correct, they're not
gonna accept the correction.
What's the problem?
If you're not gonna do it right,
it's almost worse in some ways than not
doing it at all. This is not to
say don't try, you know. Obviously, try.
Try your best. Your best is what's right
for you.
But the point is if you're not going
to try your best, you know it's just
going to end up in the garbage can.
It's going to end up, you know, it's
going to end up being like you carrying
a,
you know,
your shirt soaked in gat lighter food while
you're at the barbecue. It's just not a
good scene. It's not a it's not a
good thing to do. It's not a good
place to go.
People say
that, oh, why do we need all these?
You feel his pain. He got up and
he's against all this
side about the tanhid and the tafim and
the tanmir. He mentioned all the names of
these masha'if and people are like, it's another
mohammed sab somewhere and, you know, okay. What's
the big deal? You learn some duas and,
like, you know, it's literally the thing you
talked about. That's probably the only thing half
of people remember. I felt bad. I feel
like I see it also. My my right
up here, he says, you know, you get
up and you talk to all these people
and because he doesn't look like people think
my father is gonna be like some sort
of, like, whatever, like, big bazur or whatever.
He's a normal guy.
Right? So they'll say stuff about me while
I'm giving ba'am to him and he'll laugh
about it. He said, you remember that time
in the band, he said, oh,
you can't pray without? He goes, the guy
next to me leaned over and says, well,
yes, you can. I do it all the
time.
That's it. That's all people are gonna understand.
It's it's it's it's a fact. What are
we gonna do? Like, Allah God created the
the the
the the comb like that.
That some people are made literally for the
islaq of people, that someone's the hibar of
the home. He's like the rabbi of of
of of the Muslims.
And his and his love of learning and
in his encyclopedic
knowledge is gathered together. His islam is not
going to happen from another alim. He will
shut everybody down with adab and grace and
everything.
His islaq has been happened by who? Through
a jahil
who is impervious to the powers
of his learning. The point is is what?
The point is all of these things people
say that like, what's the point of all
of this? We already have too many movies
in Chicago. Right? We already have too many
too many students of knowledge or scholars or
whatever you wanna call them
in Chicago, and they fight with one another.
I wanna give. I wanna give. And they
fight with each other. Who's gonna give tawawi
in what place and who's gonna accept so
much money? And I heard that this actually
a thing in Chicago from several years ago
that instead of the Hafiz taking money because
he used to the Muftis used to always,
like, your Fatawah about is it permissible to
take money to lead Tawawim or not? You
you don't get paid to do any bother.
Right?
Chicago, I heard that the study of the
issue in Chicago. Now people pay. You know,
whoever's Abba is like, like,
on a board or has some pull or,
you know, that makes a little bit of
bank. They'll pay a mustard in order to
have their son be in the Darawi roster.
Someone actually told me,
that I got kicked off the roster because
someone else, their father bought them my place
in the lineup in the place I was
doing Tarawee for, like, so many years.
So what's the point? Why do we need
why do we need a, why do we
need a mother of son? And I'll tell
you what, they're right. They're absolutely right. We
don't need any more fuss. We don't need
any more moldings. We don't need any more.
We already have too many of them.
We don't need any more of them. We
already have too many of them. All of
them are doing a fundraiser all the time,
constantly. All of them are always
giving a talk and trying to highlight themselves
and say, listen to my listen to my
YouTube, and listen to my sound my sound
cloud, listen to my,
this you know, listen to my this, my
that, and, like, support my project and whatever.
We already have too many of them.
This is true. But
the qualification is what?
This is we need more of those.
People who are solid in their ill
and their their
people of the Rav their their their their
their their their their the people who have
the
quality and adjectives
in them
that they are from the party of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Those are the people we need. Those are
in very few few and far between. Those
are in great need.
Like,
say,
what can you do? You can either fight
the Khaledj or this is, like, super barbarian
like tribes men who fight really well, have
absolutely no money to take from when you
beat them. And but and they're really not
even a threat to you politically, but they
are a threat to the hafida of Islam,
to the deen. But they're gonna screw the
deen up and make people hate it because
of their
bothered interpretations of of the deen
and because of their outward
guys of high they look like high people.
Or you can
throw your armies up conquering the caliphate. What
did he do? He spent his whole life
following the Khawarij.
That's why he's a hero.
That's
why he's a hero. That's why he's a
hero of the Ummah. That's why the prophet
said to him that he is to be
like, how was the Musa except for there's
not gonna be any prophet after me.
Those types of people are very few and
far between. What do you need to in
order to be one of those type of
people?
You need to make the decision that will
make the rab happy.
So this is your your homework assignment,
Especially, who who hears an empty cup? Don't
raise your tongue. Right?
Yeah, it's a *, Masha. I realized
we're done now. We're done. I realized that
that that that anticock, like I realized a
couple of days ago, why is it I'm
getting the most screwball weird questions from like
Telegram, WhatsApp,
email,
Facebook, Twitter, all these I have the social
media accounts. I don't even check them. I
just like put my bands out. Why are
all these notifications black people have been thinking
I have this issue with my life, and
I, like, you know, stole a pack of
bazooka bubble gum from, like, my neighbor's dog
in 6th grade when I lived in Kansas
City, uh-uh, Florida or you know whatever random
super random stuff.
And like the first thing I'm like, dude,
aren't you in it's gafic? What what's going
on here? You know?
What what is it?
Your homework assignment. Okay?
The it's gafic.
Really you should be doing 1 of 4
things. You should be praying. You should be
making dua. You should be making vickers. You
should be reciting Quran every other thing. If
you do more than you're absolutely,
have to do your
you're like decreasing the edge of your and
you're not doing it right.
I'm sorry. Even though won't say it to
you, you won't yell at you all saying
it. I'm yelling at you right now. Right?
Okay. Doing that is difficult.
We'll try we'll this is a practice run
when next year we'll do the.
For now, the homework assignment is what? Whenever
you remember, just think about one thing. In
this moment, not tomorrow,
not,
you know, at Eid or not if it's
late. No. No. No. That's just in this
one moment. What is the thing that will
make Allah happy with me?
It's a good it's easy assignment. Right?
In this one moment, what will make all
that happy? Just do it.
