Hamzah Wald Maqbul – Khutbah Remember Allh By Connecting With His Rasl ICC 07032020

All praises to Allah and may his peace

and blessing be upon his servant and messenger,

Sayna Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

All praises to Allah who guided us to

his Mubarak house in this Mubarak hour, in

this Mubarak day

of this Mubarak

sacred month

of the

in which good deeds

and the reward

and

their

the light and the openings that come from

them are multiplied.

And we were not to be guided. Was

it not that Allah had guided us?

To continue with

the discussion from last week

with regards to the virtue and the benefit

of sending salat and salaam, invoking

blessings

and

sending the greeting of salaam to the prophet

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

We continue

by reading a,

hadith of the messenger of Allah, Sallallahu Alaihi

Wasallam,

narrated by,

Imam Nisa'i

from the Sihasitha people

don't know much about Imam, but he was

from the 6th, from the narrators of the

6th books,

the most stringent in his,

the most stringent in his, criteria for which

narrators he accepted.

So he says,

narrates from Abdul Abi Talha. Abu Talha is

the stepfather of, Anas bin Malik

He says he came one day

and the happiness of glad tidings was evident

in his,

in his face, in his Mubarak and noble

face

And so he says,

The prophet

explained why he was so happy,

which was what that Allah gave a glad

tiding for the Ummah.

Allah gave a glad tiding for the Ummah

and whatever benefited the Ummah used to

make the messenger of Allah salallahu alaihi wa

sallam happy and whatever harm the Ummah would

make the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam feel pain

on behalf of you and I, on behalf

of you and me.

He said,

an angel came to me and said, oh,

Mohammed, does it not make you happy?

Does it not please you that no one

will invoke blessings upon you

except for, Allah says except for I will

send down my blessings on that person 10

times. And no one will say salaam to

you except for I will then send my

salaam down on that person 10 times. Assalam.

This is salaam alaikum that we do.

This is not just our way of saying

hi. I remember when I was in university,

I took I took Persian. It's not my

native tongue and it's probably not your native

tongue unless maybe 1 or 2, brothers over

here from Afghanistan or Iran.

I took it for for for my literary

enrichment.

So there is a very accurately secularist,

instructor

that I had that actually forced me out

of the class,

because of my beard and things like that

and I actually ended up having to take

the just read the book myself and take

the exam myself separately.

The first day, this instructor comes in. First

thing the instructor says,

In Persian this means, high.

It doesn't mean high.

Salam is one of the names of Allah

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

Quran

and Arabic. We sent it down as an

Arabic Quran so that you can be people

of understanding. There's no way you can be

a proper card carrying secularist and actually even

speak the Arabic language properly. You're gonna have

to break it into something that it isn't.

Salam is one of the names of Allah

ta'ala. It means what? It doesn't mean peace.

It means what? It means wholeness. It means

freedom from blemish or from harm. They say,

go.

May nothing afflict you, nothing be wrong with

you. Everything

may you be fine and happy and safe

and all of those things at once.

So that nobody will

invoke salam on the prophet salamahu alaihi wa

sallam.

Once, except for Allah takes it upon himself

to what?

Send salaam background to that person 10

times. We mentioned last week about the salaat

and salaam and the prophet

not being worshiping the prophet salallahu

alayhi wasalam. Rather it's a dua between slave

and the lord

and just like it's not shipped to fix

the Kaaba while you pray. It's not it's

it's not idol worship to face the Kaaba

while you pray. Why? Because Allah created us

as beings that are confined within time and

within space.

And so there's a modality for all of

these things

that we have to adopt in order to

align ourselves to be harm in harmony with

the divine will.

So because we have to face a direction,

Allah gave us the best direction to face.

Because we have to be in time, Allah

gave us the best times for us to

say our salawat.

Just like that because we're human beings and

we have human hearts,

and one heart is affected by the other

heart.

Allah gave us the best of hearts to

align with. And

if you wish to please the Lord, then

align your heart with that heart.

If you align your heart with that heart,

suballahu alaihi wa sallam,

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will reward you greatly

for it.

Say if you love Allah to Allah, then

follow me. Say, yeah, Muhammad Ali to the

people, if you love Allah, then follow me.

Part of following the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa

sallam is what? Is that you love him?

If you love Allah, follow me so that

Allah will love you. If you follow him

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, Allah to a'la will

love you.

The salaf and salaam, I'm the prophet sallallahu

alaihi wa sallam for whatever reason in this

country of ours, I see very few people

ever speak about it

In the way that it should be spoken

about, and in the way that it's spoken

about in the books of the of of

the masha'i and the books of the ulema

and the

the tongues of Aslaf radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu.

So this is the benefit that Allah subhanahu

wa ta'ala, you say that this person you

sent us to convey your message to us.

We hold fast to him. Allah Ta'ala is

pleased with you. You send salat and salaam

and show your

love of him salallahu alaihi wa sallam and

Allah Ta'ala sends it back to you 10

times.

It's narrated that the messenger of Allah said

that saying that Jibril himself

after I die when a person

says salaam to me,

say that Jibril himself will take that salaam

as a messenger, carry it to the prophet

salallahu alaihi wa sallam, and the Rasulullah alaihi

wa sallam will respond to this

salam.

What does that mean?

If Rasulullah alaihis salafi salam responds to this

salam in person,

what does that mean?

Who's going to make it into jannah on

their own?

Nobody's going to make it, not even the

Amdi alaihis salam are going to make it

into jannah on their own. If it wasn't

for corona, I would read the hadith from

Bukhari in its entirety.

That the

the the the intercession with Allah Subhanahu Wa

Ta'ala.

As Americans, we may not

realize this but for those of us who

spend time from back home, try getting anything

done in a government office without knowing knowing

anybody. They'll send you in circles, you're and

you'll get nothing done. If you know someone,

you don't have to wait in line, you

don't have to ask anybody whatever, anything you

want done, even if it's illegal it gets

it done.

Who's the person to know on that day?

Who's the person to know on the day

of judgment?

The one that even the other prophet salaihi

wa sallam will go to and say, can

you please ask the Lord on our behalf?

Now tell me, if you wish to receive

from that

without

which even the prophet salalaihi wa sallam, they

have

no

ability to do anything, they themselves feel overwhelmed.

But the person who receives that shafa'a, even

if their sins are like the sins of

Iblis, that person will be as long as

they have iman, that person will be what?

Forgiven. There's no sin that can withstand the

shafa'ah of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

There's a long presentation I've actually prepared in

detail, we don't have time for it.

If you want to receive from that shafa'a,

imagine if your entire life you've been saying

salam to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

Do you do you not think he'll recognize

you?

Do you not think he'll recognize you or

do you think this hadith of the prophet

sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is just some sort

of rhetorical

He doesn't speak Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam from his

vanity or his caprice, everything that he says

is a revelation which is revealed to him

So there is more I prepared for today.

We'll push it back for next week. But

the point is is what? Is that this

should be a a part of a person's,

daily with a part of a person's daily

dhikr. That a person should send salat and

salaam on the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

with this that 2 things are happening. 1

is that Allah is rewarding them for it.

That the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam that

his connection with that prophet salallahu alayhi salallahu

alayhi salam is increasing,

which is going to be a matter of

benefit in this world and the hereafter. Allah

subhanahu wa ta'ala give all of so much

tawfeeq, UsallAllahu ta'ala.
