Hamzah Wald Maqbul – Khutbah A Gift Renewed ICC 06192020

Sayed Muhammad sallallahu

alayhi wa sallam.

By Allah

and by his grace,

we have entered into his Mubarak house once

more

on the Mubarak hour of Jum'ah

on this 27th day of Shawwal.

Inshallah, starting

from

next Jum'ah, our Jum'ah will not only be

here inside the house of Allah Ta'ala, but

the holy and sacred month of

will have begun.

These are Mubarak days in which the reward

for good deeds is multiplied.

And it is something that should be lost

on nobody.

That the masjid,

that the jama'ah,

that the congregation,

that having and sharing this Mubarak hour together,

in this Mubarak house, on this Mubarak day

is a blessing that all of us

cannot take for granted

and have to show thanks to Allah ta'ala

for.

What does that mean?

The shukr of the nama, the shukr of

of any blessing

is executed by what?

By using that niyama and by using that

blessing in a way that Allah subhanahu wa

ta'ala is

pleased with or at least in a way

that doesn't disobey Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

So if you're one of the ones who

was invited into this house of Allah ta'ala,

then go and tell

those who are unable to be here

that coronavirus

did not end Islam.

Lock down orders from governor Mike DeWine or

from the president Donald Trump or from the

WHO,

It didn't cancel

Islam. These are

the different circumstances Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala sends

down on His slave

to see who will do what when they

are put in what situation.

And I myself, I myself, I'm not speaking

on your behalf. I'm speaking on my own

behalf.

Staying at home, not going to the masjid

it's hard to get up and come back.

It's hard to take time off from your

work again.

It's hard to remotivate yourself to do these

things.

But not only am I grabbing the stick,

you know, I actually forgot the footba stick

is here, It's a sunnah to have a

stick in your hand. I'm not just waving

the stick over your head and saying, Okay.

Now Masjid is open, come or

I you know, I'm gonna beat you and

Allah ta'ala and His angels will beat you.

No.

What am I saying?

The Nabi salallahu alaihi wa sallam gave us

the institution of this masjid, and the institution

of this jum'ah and its Mubarak hour

as a great blessing.

That the sins that a person does from

1 Jum'ah to another because they show their

face in this Mubarak house, in this Mubarak

hour, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala forgives

them. Because they show their their their face

in this Mubarik house, in this Mubarik hour,

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala writes in the place

of sins, good deeds.

Because of showing your face in this Mubarik

place, in this Mubarik hour, at least metaphorically,

we all have masks on.

At least metaphorically, you show your face in

this place.

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala writes for you an

increase in your risk

in this world and in the hereafter.

Because you show your face in this Mubarak

house and the Mubarak hour,

The angels, and the spirits, and yes, even

the hurayim

in jannah,

it makes them happy and they wait for

you. They say, This is

our hadeb, this is the one that we

love. We're waiting for him to come to

us forever and forever. In the nirmah and

the blessing of Allah

Who wouldn't wanna do

that? Who wouldn't be disappointed with losing such

a Mubarik appointment?

And more than the and the angels and

any of the the creation of Allah

The

appointment in this Mubarak hour is the meeting

of what? The meeting of the Lord, of

the

That when you say,

The one who prays is there

to speak intimately.

Like you're someone you love, you come close

to them and speak to them in their

ear. That this is the way this is

the time the prayer Allah legislated for you

to speak to your Lord.

For you to speak to your

So let a person prepare for it, let

them be thankful and remind others because it

will take a while to get people to

be cognizant of this obligation that it's there

again.

Even if we have to fill the parking

lot.

Even if we have to fill the parking

lot with people who are praying.

All of those people who came to this

masjid before the coronavirus, inshallah, they'll come again.

We will bring them and whoever you tell

to come and whoever you encourage to come,

you receive their reward. Even if you have

to fill the parking lot and have 23

ju'as,

they'll come. In fact, those who didn't come

from before, insha Allah, they'll come again.

And the more people who come to this

ju'a, not only the more reward you get

for bringing somebody, in

the dua, in the hutba, and after the

fatiha,

in the salat,

the more reward it is for everybody. Don't

you know New York City is such

a densely populated area?

Because of that, the prices of the of

the property skyrocket. Right? Just like that, your

salah.

The more of your brothers and sisters you

bring in, the more the value of your

salah will increase with the Lord.

But all of it begins with what?

Because people talk about, oh, you're so lip

service. This is talk, talk, talk. Talk is

important. It's not everything. You have to act

as well. But talk is important. Why? Because

talk is like a window of looking into

the heart.

We have to speak with one another and

we have to

look inside of our heart and say that

this jum'ah is not a chore that Allah

gave us. Rather it's a great gift, it's

a great blessing.

And this is no less of a victory

for us,

than the victory of those who were denied

the access to the house of Allah ta'ala

from different circumstances

before. Imagine the happiness

of of salahuddin Ayubi and his armies when

they rested the masterul Aqsa from the Crusaders

after 90 some odd years of occupation. The

first that they had. Imagine the happiness they

had. Why? Because it was a nirma. It

was a blessing taken away from them. I'm

not comparing ourselves to them, but it was

a blessing taken away from them. They didn't

fight because, you know, we're Palestinians and they're

Europeans. No.

What? This is the house of Allah.

And the Mubarak name of Allah Ta'ala, the

Mubarak zikr of Allah Ta'ala Salat was barred

from it.

And now this is an honor Allah gave

us that we get to re establish it.

That's why it was a happy day. And

even though fine, we don't compare our achievements

with them.

But we say this is also a happy

day for that reason. That

Masjid Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has once again

given us tawfiq, that tawfiq that we used

to take for granted. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

accepted from all of us. Allah

again in safety and happiness,

fill this masjid in safety inshallah. We don't

have to crowd everything out. If we have

the space, inshallah, we'll fill the entire city

apartment with people calling the name of Allah

Ta'ala.

But Allah Ta'ala give it to us again.
