			Sayed Muhammad sallallahu
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			By Allah
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			and by his grace,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			we have entered into his Mubarak house once
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			more
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			on the Mubarak hour of Jum'ah
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			on this 27th day of Shawwal.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			Inshallah, starting
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:09
			from
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			next Jum'ah, our Jum'ah will not only be
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			here inside the house of Allah Ta'ala, but
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			the holy and sacred month of
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			will have begun.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:21
			These are Mubarak days in which the reward
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			for good deeds is multiplied.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			And it is something that should be lost
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:26
			on nobody.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			That the masjid,
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			that the jama'ah,
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:30
			that the congregation,
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			that having and sharing this Mubarak hour together,
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			in this Mubarak house, on this Mubarak day
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			is a blessing that all of us
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			cannot take for granted
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			and have to show thanks to Allah ta'ala
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:46
			for.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			What does that mean?
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:52
			The shukr of the nama, the shukr of
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			of any blessing
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			is executed by what?
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			By using that niyama and by using that
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			blessing in a way that Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01
			ta'ala is
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			pleased with or at least in a way
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:06
			that doesn't disobey Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			So if you're one of the ones who
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			was invited into this house of Allah ta'ala,
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			then go and tell
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			those who are unable to be here
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:16
			that coronavirus
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			did not end Islam.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21
			Lock down orders from governor Mike DeWine or
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:24
			from the president Donald Trump or from the
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:24
			WHO,
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			It didn't cancel
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			Islam. These are
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			the different circumstances Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala sends
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			down on His slave
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			to see who will do what when they
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			are put in what situation.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			And I myself, I myself, I'm not speaking
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			on your behalf. I'm speaking on my own
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			behalf.
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:51
			Staying at home, not going to the masjid
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			it's hard to get up and come back.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			It's hard to take time off from your
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:56
			work again.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			It's hard to remotivate yourself to do these
		
00:03:59 --> 00:03:59
			things.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			But not only am I grabbing the stick,
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			you know, I actually forgot the footba stick
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			is here, It's a sunnah to have a
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			stick in your hand. I'm not just waving
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			the stick over your head and saying, Okay.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			Now Masjid is open, come or
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			I you know, I'm gonna beat you and
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			Allah ta'ala and His angels will beat you.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			No.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			What am I saying?
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			The Nabi salallahu alaihi wa sallam gave us
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			the institution of this masjid, and the institution
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			of this jum'ah and its Mubarak hour
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			as a great blessing.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			That the sins that a person does from
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			1 Jum'ah to another because they show their
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			face in this Mubarak house, in this Mubarak
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:35
			hour, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala forgives
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			them. Because they show their their their face
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			in this Mubarik house, in this Mubarik hour,
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala writes in the place
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:44
			of sins, good deeds.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			Because of showing your face in this Mubarik
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:50
			place, in this Mubarik hour, at least metaphorically,
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:51
			we all have masks on.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			At least metaphorically, you show your face in
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			this place.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala writes for you an
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			increase in your risk
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			in this world and in the hereafter.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			Because you show your face in this Mubarak
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:05
			house and the Mubarak hour,
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09
			The angels, and the spirits, and yes, even
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:09
			the hurayim
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:11
			in jannah,
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			it makes them happy and they wait for
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			you. They say, This is
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			our hadeb, this is the one that we
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			love. We're waiting for him to come to
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			us forever and forever. In the nirmah and
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:22
			the blessing of Allah
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			Who wouldn't wanna do
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:28
			that? Who wouldn't be disappointed with losing such
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:29
			a Mubarik appointment?
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:32
			And more than the and the angels and
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			any of the the creation of Allah
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			The
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			appointment in this Mubarak hour is the meeting
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			of what? The meeting of the Lord, of
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			the
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:42
			That when you say,
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			The one who prays is there
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			to speak intimately.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			Like you're someone you love, you come close
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			to them and speak to them in their
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			ear. That this is the way this is
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			the time the prayer Allah legislated for you
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			to speak to your Lord.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			For you to speak to your
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			So let a person prepare for it, let
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:08
			them be thankful and remind others because it
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			will take a while to get people to
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:13
			be cognizant of this obligation that it's there
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:13
			again.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			Even if we have to fill the parking
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16
			lot.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18
			Even if we have to fill the parking
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:19
			lot with people who are praying.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:22
			All of those people who came to this
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:25
			masjid before the coronavirus, inshallah, they'll come again.
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			We will bring them and whoever you tell
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			to come and whoever you encourage to come,
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			you receive their reward. Even if you have
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			to fill the parking lot and have 23
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			ju'as,
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37
			they'll come. In fact, those who didn't come
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			from before, insha Allah, they'll come again.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			And the more people who come to this
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			ju'a, not only the more reward you get
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			for bringing somebody, in
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			the dua, in the hutba, and after the
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			fatiha,
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			in the salat,
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			the more reward it is for everybody. Don't
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			you know New York City is such
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			a densely populated area?
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			Because of that, the prices of the of
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:03
			the property skyrocket. Right? Just like that, your
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			salah.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			The more of your brothers and sisters you
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07
			bring in, the more the value of your
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			salah will increase with the Lord.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			But all of it begins with what?
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			Because people talk about, oh, you're so lip
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16
			service. This is talk, talk, talk. Talk is
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:19
			important. It's not everything. You have to act
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			as well. But talk is important. Why? Because
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			talk is like a window of looking into
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:24
			the heart.
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			We have to speak with one another and
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27
			we have to
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			look inside of our heart and say that
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			this jum'ah is not a chore that Allah
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			gave us. Rather it's a great gift, it's
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:34
			a great blessing.
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			And this is no less of a victory
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:37
			for us,
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			than the victory of those who were denied
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			the access to the house of Allah ta'ala
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			from different circumstances
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44
			before. Imagine the happiness
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:48
			of of salahuddin Ayubi and his armies when
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:51
			they rested the masterul Aqsa from the Crusaders
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:54
			after 90 some odd years of occupation. The
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			first that they had. Imagine the happiness they
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			had. Why? Because it was a nirma. It
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			was a blessing taken away from them. I'm
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			not comparing ourselves to them, but it was
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:05
			a blessing taken away from them. They didn't
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			fight because, you know, we're Palestinians and they're
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			Europeans. No.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:10
			What? This is the house of Allah.
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			And the Mubarak name of Allah Ta'ala, the
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:16
			Mubarak zikr of Allah Ta'ala Salat was barred
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			from it.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			And now this is an honor Allah gave
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			us that we get to re establish it.
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			That's why it was a happy day. And
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			even though fine, we don't compare our achievements
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
			with them.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30
			But we say this is also a happy
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			day for that reason. That
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			Masjid Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has once again
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			given us tawfiq, that tawfiq that we used
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			to take for granted. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			accepted from all of us. Allah
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:43
			again in safety and happiness,
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46
			fill this masjid in safety inshallah. We don't
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			have to crowd everything out. If we have
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			the space, inshallah, we'll fill the entire city
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52
			apartment with people calling the name of Allah
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:52
			Ta'ala.
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			But Allah Ta'ala give it to us again.
