Hamzah Wald Maqbul – Khutbah Establish Your Faces In Every Place of Prayer Masjid Nur 03132020

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.
