Allah
says in his book,
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala also said in his
book,
Say,
My Lord commands to justice
and that you should establish your faces in
the place of prayer, in every place of
prayer.
The and the context of this
was with regards to the malappropriation
of the master of the Haram by the
mushrikeen.
And in the context of that discussion, Allah
gives a foundational and basic commandment
with regards to the reason that this Ummah
exists.
As individuals, Allah
says,
I did not create the mankind in the
except for to worship
me. And here, there's a foundational principle which
is the analog of that commandment with regards
to our communal life as
an. Say my lord commands to justice.
One of the basic commandments of Islam and
one of the gateways through which Islam spread
throughout the lands,
through which great cities and great, nations
accepted Islam
without struggle.
And through which even those places in which
there were struggle, the population sided with the
conquerors instead of siding with their own leadership
was because of justice.
It should be clear what the of justice
is in the deen.
What's the point of that justice, however?
Establish your faces. Your faces should be known.
Even if people don't know your name, they
should know your face. That in every place
of prayer, your face is seen and it
is shown.
Allah ta'ala
again
elaborates this concept
by describing the believers as those people if
we make them firm in the earth.
They will establish the prayer and they will
give zakat.
So, like Sheikh Musa had mentioned,
there are precautions that must be taken.
So, take them, wash your hands, don't touch
your face.
You don't have to shake hands with one
another. The sunnahs to say salaam, if it's
a time of plague, you don't have to
shake hands with every person.
You don't have to come to even.
You understand what I'm saying? There are 2
different there are 2 different obligations. One is
the
obligation,
the obligations on individuals. As an individual, you
have to attend Jummah as a adult same
Muslim male.
The second obligation is what? Is that the
masajid should be opened, the Jumu'ah and the
Jumu'ah should be established. Why? Because this that
happens in this masjid Nur, it's a source
of barakah for the people of this
congregation.
It is a source of for the people
of this neighborhood.
It is a source
of for the people of this Cleveland that
we live in. Muslim
The Muslim amongst them and the non believer.
It is a source of barakah for the
humans and for the jinns and for the
animals and for the trees.
For the birds that fly in the air
and the fish that are left in Lake
Erie. All of them it's Barakah for them.
They literally Allah created them to make dua
for those people who established this deen.
And like Sheikh Musa had said from before,
perhaps the plague will get to a point
where it may not be obligatory on every
individual to come.
However, those few faces that come,
those few faces that put their and
it doesn't mean,
by the way, it doesn't mean that you're
not gonna suffer consequences.
You might suffer consequences.
If you don't want to suffer those consequences,
in this case,
the affords you some leeway that you can
stay on.
But don't be from the jinns of those
people who Allah describes as.
The genius of people when they see someone
doing something good, it bothers them inside. They
wish that you were slacking off just like
they're slacking off so that they don't feel
bad about their own slacking off.
Rather, if you see your brother doing something
and achieving something that you are unable to
do, say
Your achievement, your accomplishment belongs to Allah to
Allah. It is the will of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala and there's no power and authority
except for in Allah.
Be happy for them. Be happy for them.
Be thankful that somebody is doing this. And
the person who comes to and gives their
life for the sake of Allah, guess what?
Everybody hates to die.
If you don't hate to die, you should
go see a a psychiatrist.
It's a normal part of the human makeup
to, like, want to preserve yourself, to want
to survive, to want to thrive, to want
to be successful.
Everybody wants to survive. Nobody wants to die.
But guess what? That you're running from and
that I'm running from, it's gonna catch up
with all of us one day or another.
And so everyone also has a choice. If
Allah ta'ala, you will have a higher station
with him by serving your parents and by
serving your family and by being in a
good state in order to do something else
that you're doing that you're already doing that
needs you, then please by all, means, if
it's a matter of life and death, grievous
injury, sickness, illness, excuse yourself from the
have given you the permission for this.
However,
if you want to be a person who
wants to be from those who carry the
burden of establishing this prayer, not just from
the ummah of Sayidina Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam, but on behalf of the entire creation,
such that even the angels are proud of
you, even the angels are come in, attend
your gatherings of prayer even though you don't
attend theirs.
Then Allah
give you what you seek. Allah
give you the of living by this and
by dying by this. Through it, Allah
will give us protection from our enemies. Through
it, Allah gives us protection from our sickness.
Through it, Allah will make the sun rise
in the morning and set in the evening.
Through it, Allah
will send down risk on all of his
creation, the mankind, the jinn, the Muslim, the
kafir, the birds, the the trees, the fish,
the the the animals that crawl on their
feet in this world. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
make us from amongst those who bask in
these in this world and in the hereafter.
