AI: Summary ©

The "has been revealed" or "has been revealed" is a reality that cannot be blocked by busy seasons. The "has been revealed" concept is used in various narrations, including one about the death of a person and the use of "we" to mean "we are." The "verence" of the message is addressed to the household, and the "one for the sun" is addressed to everyone.

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			By the father of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			this Jumuah
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			which is one of the pillars
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			that holds up the creation.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			Allah Ta'ala had decreed it
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			as a mercy for the believers
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			and as barakah for not just the believers,
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			but for the
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			entire creation,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			for the Muslims and for the non Muslims,
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			for the animals, for the entire heavens and
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			the earth. In this Jum'ah will the day
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			of judgment be
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			established. And this in this Jumuah will
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			the prayers of the believers, regardless of how
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			cold it is outside
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			and how difficult the conditions might be and
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			how some people are excused from attending.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			The excuse for attending Jumuah
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			when it extends to people, this is also
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			not a reason to quote unquote cancel Jumuah.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			Jumuah is never canceled.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			It's a gift. If the believers leave it
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			on the table, then no one benefits from
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			it. So when there are difficult circumstances
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			like this,
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			then the sharia orders us that those who
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			are able to
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			establish it, establish on, establish it on behalf
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			of those who are not able to. This
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			is a precept
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			in the sharia. People should remember this.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			There's a hadith of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:39
			Wasallam
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:42
			about nama and his his bihi, the person
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			who sleeps for example through
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			the tahajjud or through the vikr that they
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			usually do in the night.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			That that person receives the reward of it
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			anyway.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			So if you're in ill health, if you
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			live a little further away than a normal
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			person, if your car
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			is unsafe in the snow, if your tires
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			are gonna slip and slide, you know, you're
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			rolling around something closer to a Prius than
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			you are to a,
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			like a, a, a, a Land Cruiser,
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			then it's okay. The sharia doesn't ask you
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			to come and like destroy yourself. It doesn't
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			ask you to come get into a car
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:14
			accident, to freeze to death, to do any
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:14
			of these things.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:18
			If there's a reasonable chance that something
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:22
			of grievous bodily or property damage might happen,
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			You as an individual have
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			a
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			an excuse and a reason not to come.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			However, if there are some people who can
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:35
			establish the jama'at, they establish it, and they're
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			having established it will
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:38
			suffice
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			on behalf of those who were not able
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			to establish it.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			If some sort of
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			calamity should happen,
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			and Allah Ta'ala does what He wills. We
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			ask Him for afiyah, but He does everything
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			He does in a hikman known to Him.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			That prevents even a couple of people from
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:56
			establishing
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			the place.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:02:59
			Then
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			those who establish it in the other lands
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			and in the other masajid in the other
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			places will suffice for them. However, there's no
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			canceling jumu'a. There's no canceling hajj. There are
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			certain things that are the sha'ir of Allah
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			Ta'ala.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			They do not get canceled.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			This is something now I can say it
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			because we're a little bit further away from
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			the the the the kind of craziness of
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:20
			the pandemic.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:21
			I'm 100%
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			not in favor of people coming with like
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:25
			highly infectious diseases and,
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			you know, causing people harm.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			So this is I'm not like an anti
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			masker, anti vaxxer, or any of those things.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			But at the same time, I'm not Abdul
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			Maske and Abdul Vaxx
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			that ascribed holy and magical powers to these
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:38
			things.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			This is dunya that we live in. Allah
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			Ta'a tasked us to make decisions. It's in
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			those complicated decisions
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			that He'll see on the day of judgment
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			who's the one who loves and who's the
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			one who tried, and what are the different
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			ways that people tried.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			So this idea of just shutting down Islam
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			for like months at a time, it's it's
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			a bad idea. It was wrong, it was
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			a mistake, it was wrong.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			This area,
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:01
			even
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			if 3 people prayed jumah over here plus
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			the imam. The jumah would have been valid.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			They all could have forget about mask, They
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			could have doubled, tripled, quadrupled mask and stood
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			forget about 6 feet from one another. They
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			could have stood 10 feet from one another.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			And the rest of you stay home.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			In certain situations and situations like that, the
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			rest of you stay home.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			If you're sick, if you have preexisting stay
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			home.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			Don't come to the masjid and think, I'm
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:29
			gonna be a hero.
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			You're gonna pull yourself down, and you're gonna
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:33
			pull other people down with you. But it's
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			not an excuse for the juwan not to
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			be established if it can be established. If
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			it cannot be established without people destroying them,
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			their own lives and property,
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			and causing grievous injury and harm to themselves,
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47
			then then it's forgiven, then the people who
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			do it on behalf of those people who
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			those that did it on behalf of those
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:53
			that couldn't stay open, then and only then
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54
			will they
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			receive that reward.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			But the problem is what? Is that our
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			fuqaha are very few.
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:03
			Our imams are all, employees, you know, that
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			get paid peanuts.
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:05
			And if you want to have
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:07
			peanuts
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			as the pay then don't be surprised when
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			all you get is monkeys. And Allah Ta'ala,
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16
			help us all. This was not the topic
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:16
			of today's,
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:17
			Jum'ah,
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			talk, but it is worth mentioning because
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			of the conditions around us.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			There's a hadith of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			wa sallam narrated by Thirmidhi. It's one of
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:32
			the great qawaid of of of Islam, conceptually.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			One of the great pillars upon which the
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			understanding of the Deen rests.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45
			Is narrated by Ubayi ibn Nukab.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46
			Who is Ubayi
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			ibn Nukab? Ubayi ibn Nukab is one of
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			the canonical reciters of the Quran through which
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			the Quran is transmitted.
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:58
			Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, if you became Muslim,
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			it's not like He would teach you kullhu
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			Allahu had personally. There are too many people
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:02
			for that.
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07
			The first people who accepted Islam, He taught
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			them personally.
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			After a while, the people who
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:15
			required special attention, he would teach them personally,
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16
			and then he would train them, and they
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:17
			would teach other people.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			So this idea of, oh, I don't follow
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			I don't follow, you know,
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:24
			so and so or so and so. I
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27
			only follow Rasool Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			This is kind of like a silly attitude.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			Why? Because even during Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:33
			wa sallam's life, Sayna Ali radiAllahu when it
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			was recorded that he would give him cases
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			to judge. Sayna Mu'adh, it was recorded that
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			he gave him cases to judge. Imagine if
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			they judged a case and then the people
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			said, Well, we don't accept this. We're only
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44
			gonna accept the judgment of the messenger of
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:45
			Allah.
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			This is this is silly. If a person
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			doesn't understand why it's silly, I'll connect the
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			dots for you. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:55
			deputed certain people to judge on his behalf.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			So their judgment is his judgment. That's how
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			this works.
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02
			The companions, their judgment is the judgment of
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			the Messenger of Allah. That's how this works.
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			These kind of silly cop outs that people
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:07
			get in order to try to avoid deen,
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			this is not right.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			So Ubayb Nukab is who is one of
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			the canonical reciters of the Quran. It's mentioned
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			in so many hadith of the Prophet Sallallahu
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			Alaihi Wasallam that
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			he said, Learn the Quran
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:21
			from and he listed names, and he's one
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			of those names. And what does it mean
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:25
			that Ubayb Nukab was one of the Quran
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			teachers? Is it because like nowadays like you
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			couldn't get into medical school or couldn't become
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			an engineer or whatever?
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			No. In fact, those were the best and
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:34
			brightest and most trustworthy.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			The people of the most Amana,
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			the people of the most Deen, the people
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			of the greatest intelligence he deputed to
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44
			carry the Quran and why not? It's the
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:47
			greatest amana that Allah ta'ala gave to any
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			human being ever in the history of mankind,
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			in the history of creation.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:53
			So when he narrates a hadith,
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56
			this hadith is not something that
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			you need to have doubt in.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			Ubay ibn Nukab mentions that the Messenger of
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam sometimes,
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			and there are different narrations about the times,
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			but sometime in the night he would stand
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			up after having rested a little bit Sallallahu
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:14
			And he used to say this thing.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:16
			He would say, Oh
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:18
			people, remember Allah Ta'ala.
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			Remember Allah Ta'ala.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22
			Because
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			the shaking, the quake has come, and another
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:26
			one will follow it.
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			What does this mean? It's an expression that's
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:29
			used in the,
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			in the Quran as well.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			That the day of judgment is described by
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			the by Allah ta'ala in his book as
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			the the day that the Rajifa will come,
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			the shaking, the quake.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			And then it will be followed by another
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			one that rides with it.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:05
			The other one that's with it. What does
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			this mean? This is an expression that the
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:10
			Quran uses about an event that will happen.
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			That there is an angel that is deputed
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17
			to what? To blow into the qaran, into
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:18
			the horn.
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			And that blowing into the qarn will destroy
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			everything, everything that exists.
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			And the only thing that will be there
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:32
			is Everyone will be annihilated. Everyone is in
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:33
			annihilation.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:41
			And nothing will remain except for the countenance
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			of your lord possessed of majesty
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45
			and of
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:46
			nobility.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:50
			And then the the qarn will be blown.
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			This Israfil himself will be resurrected in the
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			order to blow the qarn again and it
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			will shake the creation once
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:58
			more and everyone will come back together. And
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			this is when the day of judgment will
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:01
			occur.
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			This is what the rasul salallahu alaihi wa
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:04
			sallam said jatirajifa.
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:08
			That first blowing it's it's it's coming.
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			It's like right it's already arrived. It's so
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			close. It's so near at hand.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			A person says, how is it near at
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:15
			hand?
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			It's been 1400 years.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			The earth has been along for around for
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:20
			a long time.
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			The person who is given the knowledge of
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			the Awalilin and the Ahireen knows that it's
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:26
			near at hand.
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:28
			He says,
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			Death has come with that which is? With
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			that which it contains, with that which comes
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38
			with it.
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:39
			Death is difficult.
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			There are pangs that death brings with it.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			The the the loss of life, the loss
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49
			of life whether it be cosmically like the
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51
			day of judgment or whether it be inside
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:51
			the individual.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			So the Rasul Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam remembered this
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			and he reminded the Ummah, don't get stuck
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			fooling around right, right and left.
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			Don't get caught fooling around right and left
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			only to have this thing hit you when
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05
			you're unsuspecting
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			and catch you in a compromised position. There's
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			an expression we use in
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			a little bit more street in colloquial English,
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:14
			catch you with something down. But it's not
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:15
			appropriate for the Masjid, so I'm not gonna
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			say it now.
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:18
			Don't let death catch you like that.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:20
			Unprepared.
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:21
			Unaware.
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:24
			Ubayb nukab
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:28
			Radhiyallahu ta'ala Anhu said, At one such occasion,
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			I heard him say this because he would
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:32
			say this.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			On one such occasion,
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			I asked the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:39
			Wasallam. He says, is it Inni Uqthir salata
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:42
			alayk? Here the word salat, it's not in
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:43
			the meaning that we use nowadays
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:44
			in Arabic.
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47
			The word salat had a particular meaning at
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			the time of revelation, and then after revelation
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:51
			it takes a particular meaning. It means it's
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			like rich this properly set form of the
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:55
			ritualized 5 daily prayers
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:56
			and Nawafil.
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:58
			Right?
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			This means something else. It doesn't mean that
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:03
			they pray to
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06
			the nabi. That's not what it means.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:06
			In
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:08
			this context, what does it mean?
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			It means my prayers to Allah, my duas
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:12
			to Allah to Allah on your behalf.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			Note that there have been Christians that spoke
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			Arabic for centuries before
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:20
			the Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, for centuries.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			When they talk about their salawat, they use
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			the same word. They use the same word
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:26
			Allah as well.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:28
			Back when
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			the people who now consider themselves to be
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:33
			the flag bearers of Christianity were worshiping Zeus,
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			and Thor, and Odin. The Arabs were Christians
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:36
			from that time.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:39
			The word salat means what? It's like dua,
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41
			like a dua that you ask Allah ta'ala
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			for something. And indeed even in our religion,
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:44
			making dua to Allah ta'ala is a form
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:47
			of worship, asking him for something. Say, Yeah
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			Allah, I want a new Tesla and I
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:49
			want a big house. This is also a
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:50
			form of worship.
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:53
			You're asking Allah, you're not asking Elon Musk
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:54
			or whatever, right?
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:56
			This is a recognition that He's the one
		
00:13:56 --> 00:13:58
			who gives and He's the one who provides.
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:00
			So he says that I, he goes, he
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			goes, I, I make a lot of dua
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:03
			for you.
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:06
			I I make a lot of dua for
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
			you. Why?
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:10
			Because they loved him salallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12
			Why wouldn't you do that to someone who
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:13
			is good to you?
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			Someone who is good by you? Why wouldn't
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:16
			you do that?
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			He said, I I I send a lot
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:20
			of salat and salamani. I make a lot
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:21
			of du'a on you.
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:25
			He said that, how much should I how
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:27
			much should I limit that? The idea was
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:27
			what?
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			Some of my dua is for you and
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:31
			some of it's for me.
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:35
			I remember when I was in college,
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:36
			a very,
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			nice young man but somewhat naive.
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:42
			He says, I love my mother so much.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:43
			I told her, I said,
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:46
			if if on the day of judgment you
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			were gonna go to Jahannam,
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:50
			I would say, You Allah, just put me
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:51
			instead of you.
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54
			The sentiment is admirable from a particular angle.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55
			I told him though, But you don't understand
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			what jahannam is.
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:00
			Jahannam is that thing that's so scary that
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:01
			even
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			that there's nobody who's gonna be able to
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05
			do say that on that day. So just
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:06
			make du'a for yourself and your mother.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			Every difficulty of this world, you might say
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			that but that's going to be something that
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:12
			will overwhelm everybody.
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:17
			But this sentiment was what the companions radiAllahu
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:18
			anhu used to have for the Rasool Sallallahu
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:20
			Alaihi Wasallam. This sentiment is what everyone from
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22
			the Ahlulah used to see for the Prophet
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:23
			Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:24
			Wasallam.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			This is why people used to follow the
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:28
			sunnah of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30
			This is why people used to grow beards
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:32
			and wear turbans. This is why people used
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:34
			to enter the bathroom with their left foot
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:36
			and leave with their right and enter the
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:37
			masjid with their right foot and leave with
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:39
			their left. This is why people used to
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:42
			say their duas before eating, sleeping, making love,
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:43
			any of these things.
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:46
			This is what carries a person.
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			If a person understood what this meant, it
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:59
			would make them want to dance. It would
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:01
			give them ecstatic an ecstatic feeling.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:03
			That type of feeling,
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:08
			that social media and TikTok and commercial advertisings
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			and shopping malls and governments and armies and
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12
			intelligence agencies and all sorts of different
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:16
			capital intensive ventures are there to make the
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:17
			ummah forget about.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			That he said
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:24
			to say, Anas bin Malik, oh my dear
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			son, and know this is my sunnah, and
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:27
			whoever loves my sunnah
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:31
			loves my sunnah, not practices it, practices a
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:32
			higher rate than that.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			Says, This is my sunnah. Whoever loves my
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:36
			sunnah, that person has loved me.
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:38
			And whoever loves me will be with me
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:39
			in Jannah.
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44
			That a person will be with the one
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:45
			that they love.
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			And so this salat was part of their
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			thing that they would do it selflessly. They
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:51
			thought that this is something we love him
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			so much. This is will make us happy
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:55
			that Allah gives him more.
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:58
			Whereas nowadays we have the attitude of what's
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:00
			in it for me, What's in it for
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:01
			me? Of course, they're going to jannah, you
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:03
			know, and then you'll see and you hear
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:06
			from people ignorant things, ignorant things.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			Like, oh, he's just a human being. He's
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:10
			just a human
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:14
			Muhammad.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			That Muhammad the the the man, sallallahu alaihi
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			wa sallam, he's a man, of course.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:23
			We don't ascribe to him godhood or divinity.
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			He is a man but unlike other men,
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			just like a stone a ruby is a
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:29
			stone but unlike other stones.
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:34
			Someone says this is excessive.
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:35
			This is your fanaticism.
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:39
			You're trying to get donations for your cause.
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:40
			This is why you're saying all this. Okay.
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			Open the Quran. Read it.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:49
			What does this mean? The prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			wa sallam has more right to the believer
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:52
			than he has over himself
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			and his
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:55
			wives are like
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:57
			their mothers.
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			The the
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:00
			wives of the prophet
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:02
			are like your mothers as far as the
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:04
			prophet to describe him as your father. This
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:07
			is not proper. Why? Because his maqam is
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:10
			much greater than the father of every believer.
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:12
			He's the one on the day of judgment
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:14
			to take a sip from his
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:17
			to take a sip from his house
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:19
			forget about Sinovacs
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:20
			and Novavax
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:21
			and
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:23
			forget about
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			Moderna and Pfizer.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:31
			I know so many people, they got the
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:31
			COVID
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:32
			original.
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:33
			They got the
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:34
			Delta.
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:36
			They got 2
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:40
			doses of the vaccine. They got the booster.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			They got the omicron, and they still got
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:44
			it another time. They ran out of names
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:46
			to give. Again, I'm not anti vaxx, but
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:47
			things happen.
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:49
			The dunya, everything's gonna fail at some point.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:49
			Right?
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:52
			Whether you whether, you know, you trust the
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:53
			vaccine or not, that's
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			it's gonna fail at one point. Right? Regardless
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:58
			of what your point of view about that
		
00:18:58 --> 00:18:58
			is.
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			But this is the inoculation that will not
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:01
			fail.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			The one who drinks from that house of
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10
			the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam never thirst
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:12
			again. Now tell me, will you go to
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:12
			Jahannam?
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:16
			Is there any is there any of the
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			ulama that wrote, you know, that the person
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:19
			will go to jahannam, they just won't be
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			thirsty. They'll just feel like, Masha Allah, I
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:22
			don't you need something to drink? No, I'm
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:24
			good. The fire hurts but I'm good.
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:28
			That's again a misunderstanding what the fire is.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			That Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he's the one
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:35
			his shafa'ah,
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			if it was visited on on on Hitler
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:40
			Stalin, if it was visited on Iblis and
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:42
			on Firaun, they would have been forgiven. Forget
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			about you and me. Obviously, I'm not saying
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			it will be. In fact, we know by
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:48
			nusus it's not visited on any kafir.
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:52
			But that Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, that's his
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			Shafa'alu. Tell me something.
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:55
			Does a person not have taaluk with the
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:57
			Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam?
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:00
			Which one of us were here that the
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			Angel of the Lord came to us and
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:02
			revealed to us the Quran?
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:05
			0.
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:09
			Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam was the one,
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11
			he brought the message and the rasool sallallahu
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13
			alaihi wa sallam was described in the message
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:14
			to be also part of the message.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:20
			That He doesn't speak from
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:22
			caprice, from vanity.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:25
			Rather the things he says, that's
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:27
			a revelation that's revealed.
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:33
			That Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, that Allah
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:34
			ta'ala Himself says,
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:39
			Send your salat and salaam on him.
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:42
			So this Ubay says,
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			I make a lot of dua for you.
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			I send salat and salaam upon you a
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:50
			lot.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:52
			How much should I send it though? The
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:53
			concern is what?
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:56
			That maybe I'm disobeying you by doing this
		
00:20:56 --> 00:20:57
			so much that I'm neglecting my own du'a
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:58
			for myself.
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02
			Why? Because the Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, his
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			model was not that you kill yourself, you
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:05
			know, and give me all your money and,
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			like, starve to death while I enjoy myself.
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			This is the model of leadership, sadly, that
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			a lot of people look up to nowadays
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13
			even more sadly in the Muslim world and
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:15
			amongst Muslims. This was not the model. The
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:16
			model is what?
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:18
			You be successful and in your success is
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:19
			my success.
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			So, he had this question. I want to
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:22
			ask this question.
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:24
			We should all ask this question.
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			He said that, he said that, he's Rasulullah
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:29
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, What? You can do
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:30
			as much as you like.
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:32
			So I said to him, How about like
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:35
			a quarter of my duas for you? Rasulullah
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:37
			Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, it's however you like
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:38
			and if you did more it would be
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:39
			good for you.
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:41
			He said, how about half of my dua?
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:43
			He says, You can do as much as
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:44
			you like, and if you did more, it
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:45
			would be good for you. How about 2
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			thirds of my dua? He says, Do as
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:48
			much as you like,
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			and if you did more it would be
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52
			good for you. He said, What if all
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:53
			of my dua that I would make was
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:56
			only for you? All of my dhikr that
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			I made, all of my dua that I
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:00
			made was all salat and salaam upon
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			you. What did He say salallahu alayhi wasalam?
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04
			If you were to do that, if this
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:06
			was to be your practice, it would suffice
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08
			you, every one of your worries
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:09
			And it would
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			see all of your sins be forgiven
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:15
			What does this mean?
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:18
			This means something very special. What does this
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:20
			mean? This means that
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			the salat in salam and the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:23
			alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			A, is not prophet worship. I've heard this
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:28
			thing from people, this is one of the
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:29
			most akbaah, one of the most disgusting things
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:31
			that a person could say. How do you
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:33
			say salat and salam and the Prophet Sallallahu
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:35
			Alaihi Wasallam? The Masnoon Riwayat.
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			There are a number of forms, long and
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:41
			short. But the the most virtuous of them
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:42
			is the one that's transmitted to the sunnah,
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:43
			Allahumma.
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:44
			What does that mean?
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:47
			No. Means You Allah.
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:50
			Why do we not say You Allah in
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:50
			Arabic?
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:54
			Because You is for It's for calling someone
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:55
			far away.
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:01
			Allah is not far. Allah is near.
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:03
			Says, you Allah
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:06
			send salat and salaam
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:09
			on Muhammad and on the family of Muhammad.
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:11
			The al means not just a family, but
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:12
			there's a hadith of the prophet
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:16
			Everyone who fears God is from the Al
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			Muhammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22
			If somebody says, Oh, you just made this
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:24
			up in order to discredit the Ahlulbayt. I
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			have a proof from the Quran very simple,
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:26
			right?
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:31
			Does it mean the the family of Firaun?
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:33
			No. In fact, we know that many members
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:35
			of the household of Firaun including his wife,
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:36
			Asiya
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:39
			alaihis salaam and including Sayyidina Musa alaihis salaam.
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:41
			They're not included in that.
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:43
			But it's the people, his henchmen, the people
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:44
			who obeyed him.
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			It's addressed to whom? To Allah ta'ala.
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:50
			There are 2 things. 1 is it's a
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:52
			validation that, You Allah, you sent me this
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:54
			message. I revere it. Allah Rasul Ayn, like
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:56
			the Arabs say, that I take it on
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:57
			my head and on my eyes.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:03
			I'm subjugated to it. I accept its authority.
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:05
			I revere it. It's more beloved to me
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:06
			than other than it.
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:11
			And like that everyone who follows the prophet
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, everyone he commands us
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:15
			to obey and to listen and to take
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:15
			from,
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:17
			Allah rasul
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:18
			ayn.
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:21
			And Allah Ta'a is pleased with that. Why?
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:23
			Because you didn't speak to him in this
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:23
			world directly.
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:25
			The only thing you know about him is
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27
			what this Nabi salallahu alayhi wa sallam told
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:28
			you. So this is your way of showing
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:31
			reverence to him salallahu alayhi wa sallam through
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:33
			the Nabi salallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			This is why he's ola bil mummininemin and
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:36
			tusihim.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:38
			So I went over today for a couple
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:39
			of reasons. Many people have the day off
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:40
			or have some flexibility.
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:42
			And because of the road conditions, I knew
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:44
			everybody is going to be late anyway and
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:45
			I didn't want people to miss Jumay if
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			they made the way out. I will read
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:49
			one more hadith and translate it insha Allah
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:52
			then after that weekend, pray and I ask
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:54
			for forgiveness for going over if anyone expected
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:55
			that it was going to be,
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57
			on time. 15 minutes is what I gave
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			over. May Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la make it
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:00
			easy for all of us.
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:05
			And Ausudibee Aus RadhiAllahu Ta'ala Anhu Qalaqalar Rasulahi
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:06
			SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:12
			The Rasul Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said from the
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:14
			most virtuous of your days is Jua'a. Meaning
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:16
			the most virtuous of your days is Jua'a.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18
			This Jua'a that we're in right now.
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:22
			This is a sunnah. So say salat and
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:25
			salaam upon my name on this Mubarak day.
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:34
			Why? Because your your salat is shown to
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:35
			me. Is shown to me.
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:39
			Someone asked You Rasool Allah. He says, kalu
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:41
			You Rasool like. Okay fato'aradu
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:42
			salatunna alaykawakad
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:48
			That when you're when you're gone, how is
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:50
			the salat and salam gonna be shown to
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:50
			us?
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:55
			He said, salallahu alayhi wasalam,
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:07
			That indeed Allah has made haram on the
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:07
			earth.
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:08
			The
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:11
			prophet salayahu alayhi wa sallam. The point is
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:12
			is what?
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:14
			Is that your salat and salaam has two
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:16
			things. One is the aspect of dhikr to
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:19
			Allah Ta'ala that you're talking you're addressing him
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:21
			and you're making dua to him
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:24
			for the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Someone
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:27
			says what's in it for me? Good question.
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:30
			What's in it for you? You remember the
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:31
			hadith of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:33
			that whenever a person makes a du'a for
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:35
			his brother when he's not present,
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:38
			Allah sends an angel to say
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:40
			and for him as well.
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:42
			This is one of, like,
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:44
			the one of the best like weapons that
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:47
			every believer has ever been given. Why? Because
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:49
			if the you made dua for yourself, God
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:50
			knows if you're
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:52
			worthy of being answered.
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:55
			But who's the If anyone was worthy of
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:55
			being answered,
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:58
			then the Nabi salallahu alayhi wa sallam, wouldn't
		
00:26:58 --> 00:26:59
			he be worthy?
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:02
			So if it's answered for him, then what?
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:03
			It reflects off of him and it comes
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:04
			on to you.
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:06
			This is like a no brainer. It really
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:07
			it's a no brainer.
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:10
			The second thing is what? That the Nabi
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:11
			salallahu alaihi wa sallam when you send salam
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:14
			to him, even after his passing, even after
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:15
			his passing,
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			He's alive. This is not something that's like
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			some sort of weird like spooky shirt thing
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:22
			that everybody likes somehow someone put this like,
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:24
			poison in their mind and make them think
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:26
			about that. Doesn't the Quran itself say? Doesn't
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:28
			the Quran itself say about Fir'an?
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:31
			That everyday he's shown his Maqam in the
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:32
			hellfire.
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:35
			That's who that's firaoun. Doesn't the Quran say
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:36
			about the shuhada?
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:39
			That don't say that they're they're dead rather
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:41
			they're alive and they receive provision from They
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:42
			receive risk from
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:44
			ta'ala. Whose maqam is higher?
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:48
			Why is it something so difficult for people
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:50
			to believe or understand, or they have to
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:51
			think somehow they're shirk in it or what?
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:53
			There's no shirk. Shirk would be like what?
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			Praying salat to like somebody, or to a
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:59
			stone, or to an animal, or to the
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:01
			sun or the moon or whatever. This is
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:02
			what? Making du'a for rasoolallahu
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:05
			alaihi wa sallam to Allah ta'ala and sending
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:06
			salaam to him.
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:09
			And he said, he answers the salaam himself.
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:13
			He answers the salaam himself that the bodies
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:14
			of the Prophet salaam alayhi wa sallam, Allah
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16
			ta'ala made them haram that the earth doesn't
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:16
			digest
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:20
			them, that the earth doesn't rot them,
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:22
			that whenever someone says salam to him, the
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:24
			angels bring the salam to him salallahu alayhi
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:26
			wa sallam, and he responds to that person
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:27
			by name.
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:30
			If the dua is accepted
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:31
			or not,
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:34
			if it said mindlessly because a person has
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:36
			a 1,000 things that they do in the
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:36
			day.
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:40
			That part of this salat al salam you
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:43
			or my I may not get benefit from.
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:46
			However, when you say salaam to somebody and
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:48
			they say, well, alaykum salaam to you. If
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:50
			you're salaam to him salallahu alayhi wasalam isn't
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:53
			accepted, will his salaam to you return respond
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			respond and his response in his salaam back
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:58
			to you? Will it be ignored by Allah
		
00:28:58 --> 00:28:59
			Ta'ala? Will he say it mindlessly?
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:01
			Absolutely not. This is one of the great
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:03
			gifts Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave to this
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:05
			ummah. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala enrich us
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:08
			through it. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala send
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:11
			prayers of blessing and mercy, and barakah on
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:13
			Sayyidina Muhammad, and on the family, and the
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:15
			folk of Sayyidina Muhammad, just like he did
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:17
			on Sayidna Ibrahim and on the family and
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:18
			folk of Sayidna Ibrahim.
