It is
a very important
thing for people who are seeking Allah's pleasure,
rather,
to be consistent,
to be consistent
in doing what is right,
to be consistent
in your remembrance
towards Allah, rubbaalalameen.
And that's why Allah Almighty,
who loves us so much,
not only He provided for us,
He showed us the way.
By appointing
the Messenger,
Prophet Muhammad
and he said to us,
kul inkuntum
tahibbon Allah,
fatabi'uniyahbibkumullah
wa yakhilakum
zunu baqum wallahuwafur
Say, O Muhammad,
whoever feels
and thinks that they love Allah. We all
love Allah, alhamdulillah.
That's why we are
worshiping Allah,
we remember Him
and we do what He wants us to
do.
But then Allah put
a condition, a very simple
SOP.
Whoever said he loves Allah,
You just have to follow 1 man
and that is Prophet Muhammad
He is the way
to attain the love of Allah.
It's not just lip service, I love Allah,
I believe in Allah.
But then Allah put a condition,
Fattabiuni
o Muhammad
tell them
who claim to say, they love Allah,
to follow you.
When you follow Prophet Muhammad's
sunnah,
that's why sunnah is so important,
None of us can understand what is Islam.
None of us can answer the Quran, the
verses of Allah without going back to prophet
Muhammad
because all the aya was revealed to only
1 man.
So it's very important for us to have
the right understanding,
don't just follow anybody
now.
Just follow this man.
Then you will see
at the end
of the tunnel, you may go through some
hardship,
some difficulty,
but there will be light waiting for you.
We survive until today is because we never
give up hope
because we understand the words of Allah, for
ibn al Ushri
usri usri usri usri usri usri.
Life always starts with hardship,
difficulty,
challenges,
trials,
pain.
If you go to the gym today, they
say no pain, no gain.
When you feel some pain in your body,
that means that muscle is working now.
You just have to
be consistent.
Of course, the way to all campaign
is you must do
the right way.
Sometimes we do something
without learning the proper way, it causes harm
to ourselves.
It causes injury,
so there is life.
And we have been sharing with all our
good brothers and sisters
about the book Don't Be Sad. Because
sadness is part of life.
You feel sad
when you see somebody that you love
is leaving you.
You also feel sad
when you have to meet somebody who you
don't like.
You have to go to office to work,
but there's somebody that you don't like and
you have to see him. It so happens
that he's your manager.
Just an example.
Pain,
it brings sadness.
Yeah.
So nobody can escape
from sadness. You just
learn how to move on because
you gain a lot of experiences
through
all these difficulties and challenges.
Without going through all the pain,
difficulties,
you don't know what is like.
You would not be strong to survive.
This world
is for the strong and the tough people.
The challenges that Allah has put
all of us through today
is so minor
compared from the 1st generation,
the second, the third generation.
Just communication
before
when you are out,
when you are moving out
from the people,
nobody can communicate with you anymore
until you meet again.
Today the world
has become so close to one another.
You can travel anywhere you are.
You can still communicate with each other.
Not only you can listen to the voices,
you can still
go on
what you
call emo Skype.
You can even see each other,
TikTok.
Can you imagine
what is happening to all of us?
And the most dangerous part that we have
been warned,
we have been reminded by Allah,
by our Prophet, by the people of knowledge.
Be careful.
Be
careful
of the communication
that we have.
With the new technology
for the young generation, the AI, I also
don't understand what is AI.
I only know that there is a brand
in the market,
AI.
That is for the food.
But now
AI is about technology.
So
we all must be ready for the worst
to come.
When you are ready for the worst to
come, brother and sisters,
then
you don't have a problem.
If there's a problem, it's very very minor.
Yeah. The last
topic that has been addressed to all of
us,
maybe not by me but by my assistant,
is as long as you have life's
basic necessity, don't be sad.
Correct?
That was last week
based on my record here. Yeah.
If you have the means to survive,
food to eat,
drinks,
halal drink,
you can move, you can work,
you can still go to school,
you can just
travel here and there,
you can sleep, it is a great blessing.
That means the necessity
of life
is
being covered.
So you don't have to
be sad,
Just move on.
You want a better day?
You prepare yourself.
That's how you move on.
What you have today,
if you have the necessity,
you may want more, no problem.
You prepare for it.
In sha Allah,
Allah Almighty
remind us,
Allah will not
change the condition of anybody,
any one of us,
until we are ready to make changes.
You must have positive thinking.
If there are so many people who are
suffering around the globe survive,
how can you say,
I can't survive?
Children
beheaded,
innocent children,
in Gaza today.
Many parents
have to carry their body without a hit
or curse.
It never makes sense at all.
In the deal with judgment,
these children will bear witness.
What sin that I have committed that you
killed me?
What sin I have committed?
I harm you.
I cause any
discomfort to you. Nothing.
I'm just a baby.
What I know is to play,
to run here and there. I don't even
know what is a boom.
I don't know.
Maybe
the explosion
here and there
is like people who bring firecrackers.
Yeah.
To the children, they don't know. They don't
know what is war,
What the children want from
all of us as adults
is love.
That's all they want, attention and love.
When they cry because they're hungry, you give
them food class.
Baby, when they cry,
it's how they communicate. It's not there. They
are sad, no? They just want to tell
you I'm hungry.
They just cannot talk to you yet.
Just an example,
but look at the world that we live
today.
We consider
our world as a civilized world.
Now, also we are worse than animals.
We are just worse than animals.
And those who are like animals treat,
all of us like animals.
Again,
they treat us like animals because they are
animals.
May Allah, subhanahu, wa'ala, wa'al, strengthen the iman
of all the brothers and sisters or family
in Palestine, in Gaza.
It's not easy for us to feel for
them
because we are not there.
We can cry for a while,
and people can keep on talking and talking
and talking,
but no action.
There is reality.
When the Muslims have problems,
United Nations is not there for you.
When other people have problem,
United Nation all want to respond
to protect human rights.
Where is our right? We know.
But what is more important for all of
us,
we should be
grateful
and that is
the topic we are going in, contentment
repels
sadness.
We are sad because of what is happening
to them.
We are very sad. If you don't feel
anything,
I don't know what to say.
There are so many civilized people in the
West,
common sense will tell them something is not
right at all.
We cannot support, we cannot be quiet, we
must speak out that's why they do a
lot of demonstration.
Yeah. We have to
bear and have extra patience,
because among us we have people who are
not,
yeah, able to hear properly,
so they will struggle
more than us.
Yeah.
So what is important, brothers and sisters,
remember,
we have to move on,
but we have to move on positively,
constructively.
If we are weak, we cannot help those
who have been oppressed.
We can't help them,
And that's why there are the three level
of people
that our prophet have mentioned.
If you say that I have authority,
you are the leader of the Ummah,
We claim I am the king, I am
the president,
I am the prime minister
of this country, so called Muslim country,
and you do nothing,
you are worse than anyone.
You have failed your response.
You should not be a leader anymore. If
you can't
lead,
you don't have the spirit
as a leader, then you better don't be
a leader.
Give up your leadership, pass you to a
better person,
then Allah will protect you because you admit
your weaknesses.
The weak one cannot be a leader.
The genocide is happening around us and the
leader keep quiet,
pretend that nothing happened.
The second category the prophet
is talking about, the people who have knowledge
like you and me,
scholars,
speakers.
You say nothing,
the first group do nothing
because the one who have authority you don't
have to say, you just act upon it.
We need to make sure that humans survive.
We need to make sure that all the
food supply, water, food, the basic necessity
will reach the people who are
dying.
If you have to send your army, send
your army along with all these supplies
and see whether these people honor
human right or not.
Just an example.
The Muslim ummah is appointed
by Allah as khaira Ummah,
UHri Jadina, the best Ummah,
because we are here to protect the weak,
help the poor,
and represent
those who have been oppressed.
That is our duty. That's why we were
granted khayra ummah, the best
generation,
the best people.
And Allah have warned us,
if you don't care,
you don't even think of how to do
something
to help those who've been oppressed,
the weak one.
You have to wait.
I am going to replace
all of you
with another nation,
another group of people
who care.
So as people
who have knowledge,
scholars,
speakers,
all those actors,
actresses,
celebrities,
your word
will be listened by the public.
You have to speak out.
But when you speak out, you must make
sure it's come from your heart, not hypocrite,
not drama.
You know today,
Hollywood can do everything.
They can
make a big drama.
See, you see, I I keep on kidding,
you keep on talking,
and let the public, you know, get confused.
That is
why Allahu Bulalameen
reminds us,
killing 1 innocent
soul
is like killing
the whole
mankind.
Saving one soul,
honor the right of one soul is like
you are saving the whole mankind.
You don't have this kind of value and
teaching in other scripture except in the holy
Quran.
And when we speak the truth,
the media today
brand us as terrorists.
Number 1 terrorist
is
we know who.
When they can kill everybody
openly,
they thought they can keep on hiding,
but with the technology
today,
they cannot hide everything.
They can hide something,
but they cannot hide everything.
Allah knows what you have done openly,
and he knows
what you have planned secretly.
You cannot escape from Almighty Allah.
The messenger of Allah, prophet Muhammad
said
the meaning of his hadith, we do not
say other than that which pleased our Lord.
There is a sign of a believer you
don't talk nonsense.
You don't waste your time. Walazinahumalakwee
mukridoon
insuratul
muminun, Allah say.
One of the sign of the true believer.
One of the sign of the person who
are worshiping
Allah making his salah with kushuq.
Allah said,
Who are the successful
one?
The believer.
Who are the believer?
The believer is the one who established
their prayer 5 times a day and
they do it with kusho, with understanding,
not just exercising,
but
they worship Allah with the body, the mind,
and the soul.
3 in 1, like today we in Malaysia
love 3 in 1.
Coffee 3 in 1,
tea 3 in 1,
everyday 3 in 1.
Just an example,
and those who said he's a believer and
he is connected to Allah,
and when he pray he pray with kusho,
understanding,
focus.
What did Allah say?
Walazinahum
anil lakwih
mukri dhun.
They always stay away from talking
things that do not benefit. No time to
waste.
They don't spend time gossiping, bed biting,
entertain
themselves
and forget what is happening around you.
They have to think,
and while this thing is happening, brother and
sisters around us,
there are still people
who think of making money.
Can you imagine?
There are still people
who try to lie to the world, lie
to majority of the good people, good good
Samaritans.
We want this, we want that, you know
what is happening
in the country. Everything is being bombarded.
Where do you get electricity?
It's been cut off.
How to get water? Only Allah knows.
And still there are a lot of
people who is trying to help.
So happened that they said they have people
over there that need this, need, need, and
then we
respond because we care,
But
to be realistic,
do you think
what we are calling for people to donate
this will reach them?
What guarantees they owe? They say, here's here.
Other things may enter which they allowed,
but not everything.
We don't want to waste our energy,
waste our money doing things that at the
end of the day
do not benefit.
We have to plan.
Even our Prophet, Subhanahu Wa Salam,
who have the miracle, who Allah guarantee will
help him, but there are time, he just
have to have patience and plan
until the right time.
Then only he acts upon it.
It's not just
what people are asking, no.
You must ask yourself, be conscious.
Do you think whatever that you have collected
have reached them?
Here say, Oya,
only Allah knows.
At this point of time then there is
no peace
and you can see
how arrogant,
how fierce this enemy of mankind
keep on bombarding
and kill innocent lives.
They want to frighten everything, so how can
you get electric, How can you operate and
how can you do this?
Common sense will tell you, brother and sister.
We know we are people who love to
help
chukur, nikma,
but be wise
because people make money through the suffering of
others today.
The same goes to all these big bullies.
They still make money because they are selling
their weapons
to kill innocent people.
They have developed
all these,
yeah,
massive destructive
weapon,
the MDW.
When are they going to use?
This is the right time
to show how
inhuman these people are.
They call themselves we are civilized leaders.
We are the freedom fighter.
Listen, the freedom fighter are those who are
suffering
and fight for their right.
These are the freedom fighter.
So the prophet here is now reminding all
of us we do not say other than
which please our Lord.
Anything you want to talk
from today
we don't have time to waste.
Talk about something that benefit your iman,
benefit the Ummah,
So that all everybody starts to think seriously.
Even young people must start to think
before something bad happens
to them.
What can happen in that country can happen
everywhere.
Upon you is a secret duty to surrender
yourself to what
is preordained
for you.
It's a reminder.
Every one of us must be ready to
accept what is kadah and qadar.
We don't know. Qadah and qadar is something
unseen.
That's why it's under the
category of Arcanu iman,
one of the pillar of iman.
Iman is a belief deep in your heart,
guided by the
guidance of Allahu wahiyu.
There are times we love so many things.
We want this, we want that, we want
some so many thing we want.
What did Allah
There are times you love so many good
thing that you feel that is good for
you,
but
Allah says that is bad for you.
Sometimes you think that this is not good,
this, but Allah said this is good for
you.
Allah knows
what is the best for all of us
and our knowledge towards the future, the unseen,
the qadar and qadr is so limited.
Even Allah is showing us every day what
is happening, we still don't understand
what is qada and qadr.
Think that you have no control and it
happened, that is what Kadah and Kadah. Who
are supposed to be here this morning is
Kadah and Kadah.
We have 3 brothers and you have 3,
4, 5, 6 sisters.
Sometimes we can plan to have more, but
Allah said no.
Sometimes we said we want lesser, but Allah
said no.
Allah ordained 2, 4, 6 and 3,
and that's why
we are here.
Of course, everybody must prepare,
work for what they want. You know there's
a class every Wednesday especially.
You know that it's good for your heart,
good for your mind,
because we are talking about what Allah wants
us to know and what the prophet have
taught us.
This is
something that you need in your life,
guidance.
When you are able to step up from
your house,
to go to a place to seek knowledge,
you will be rewarded by Amor.
You don't lose
anything.
Compare you stay at home
and just open your handphone, chit chat,
Or those who are busy in cooking, just
cooking,
so you get the food.
Where is the food of your mind?
Your brain needs food.
It's knowledge.
You organize yourself.
You want
everything to be well balanced.
You have your breakfast. I believe all of
us have breakfast already,
Shukur. For your body now is for your
mind,
Plus the soul because you are getting closer
to Allah.
Learn
how to surrender yourself to what is preordained.
If you fulfill this duty,
you will be successful in the long run.
Yeah.
You'll be successful.
We're not talking about other people, talking about
you. You.
As an individual, you ask yourself.
Your only escape is to believe in preordainment
called the encadar.
Since whatever have been decreed must
take place,
You cannot escape
because Allah have ordained all these things 50000
years
before
we exist.
Allah planned everything
and Allah kept on reminding us,
be careful,
be ready.
It's just like our children going to school,
they want to pass the exam, they know
when he's going to have the exam. So
what do you do?
Still chit chat?
Still entertainment?
If the exam paper is going to talk
about entertainment, I think we all pass.
If the exam paper is going to ask
you to sing, we will pass.
We will memorize,
yeah, the song,
you know. If the exam paper just want
to test whether you are good in dancing,
I think we will pass. We'll know how
to rock our body,
but the exam paper have their own value.
You want to pass, you have to prepare
yourself.
Work towards that.
No subterfuge
or artifacts can protect you from it, nothing.
If Allah ordains something when it happened, brother
and sister, nobody
can change that except Allah.
That's why when I was sharing this important
message to the young children yesterday.
Do you want to be loved
by your parents? Of course.
Do you want to be loved
by your teacher? Yes. So that the teacher
will show care and love me, care for
me more, pay attention when I ask them
questions.
They are not angry. They love to
explain to me, show me the way.
Anything you do,
the power of love is very important.
As wife, do you want your husband to
love you? What do you think?
No need. What love love?
Yeah,
too long already.
We still want love if possible.
The same goes a husband
wants to have a lovely
and loving
wife.
Do you like your friend, good friend to
love you? Of course.
Can you imagine you're working, busy,
your good friend comes, send you lunch. How
do you feel?
Good friend.
He thinks about you.
He knows that you're too busy to go
out for lunch.
Suddenly he sends lunch for you.
You feel tash, you know, you feel,
Allah, so,
yeah, meaningful to you. It's just an example.
And Allah said to us,
if you want Allah to love you, you
follow
the way of His messenger,
prophet Muhammad sallallahu. You big come on, Allah
love you.
Simple. You want to gain Allah's love, you
don't have to do so many.
You follow the way of 1 man,
his messenger,
I Allah will love you and when Allah
love you, the first thing he would
do is to forgive all your sins.
Allahu Akbar.
Do we have sins?
We commit sins day in day out.
But Allah say I will forgive your sin.
Because Allah is merciful
and all forgiving,
and when he say he forgive you, you
don't have to worry. He never break his
promise he's not like human.
I forgive you, but I don't forget.
I see you in the day of judgment.
Wow.
You still want to look look for me,
to settle the problem with you.
Allah want he forgive you, kalas.
To the extent Allah said, whoever have commit
so
much sins,
So many say I will forgive you
if you repent
sincerely to me, but not only I will
forgive you,
I will transform
the
10 ton of sin example. I just give
example.
An ocean of sin into an ocean of
good deeds.
Allah's kindness is so
fantastic.
Amazing, Allahu Akbar.
Just you must be sincere
and repent to Him.
And what did Allah
do after that when He left you?
If you look into the arba'in Nawawi, the
hadith of
compound by Imam Nawawi,
You come across hadith, when Allah loves somebody,
he summons Gabriel,
chief of all angels.
Gabriel,
I, Alor,
the creator,
love Fulan,
Ibniuf Fulan.
Love so and so.
Love
him.
What do Gabriel have? Try, no.
Anything went along.
Say he loves so and so, you love
him, immediately
Gabriel loved
that
person and Gabriel will summon all the angels
that exist
around us
and said, Allah and Gabriel love so and
so.
Love
this person.
All the angels will respond,
nabe, yes, we will respond. We will love.
How do you feel when you are loved
by Allah,
loved by Gabriel,
loved by all the angels? How do you
feel?
You feel good?
You feel protected?
You feel safe?
You feel peace.
Contentment
repels
sadness.
For children who are going to school or
something,
when Allah help you, he open up your
mind,
give you certain understanding about what you're learning
that means you are ready for the exam.
Suddenly,
I will show you.
Allah Almighty, knowledge belong to Him.
Alhamal insa namalam You Alam. He is the
one who have taught
people
thing that they know not.
Have you experienced
sometime,
you know
everything you prepared suddenly
in front
of you the time that you have to
give an answer that thing just disappeared. Have
you experienced that?
I experienced that many times.
I have planned. I do my homework.
Suddenly when the right time for me to
do something
to respond,
That
information
just disappeared.
Who make it disappear?
Allah. But because we have qad' and qad'an,
we never give up.
Even we fail, we never give up. Okay.
Lesson learned.
Being human, you cannot
be perfect.
Never think that you can
be perfect like Allah. No.
You just feel after,
I I missed this.
Then you value
you value other things,
and that's why
before you sit for any
test exam,
don't forget him
and he said, Rabiasir
wana to usir. Oh Allah, make it easy
for me. Don't make it difficult.
Can you imagine when we sit for exam,
we are so focused to the people we
forget Allah.
We thought that this people is our life.
No, this is just a test.
You fail you still survive, you can be
a
very successful,
wealthy person not because of this paper, it's
because you work hard, you never give up.
That's how you must understand life.
Some people don't have the understanding of conduct
and conduct. What happened, a lot of young
people commit suicide.
They fail in the exam
and they stay in the 15th floor.
They're ashamed
that their parents is going to be very
hard on them, pressure them.
They just jump out.
Can you imagine they just waste their whole
life because
of a paper?
We Muslim don't do that.
Life move on. Try your best.
Parent always remind the children you try your
best, do your homework,
whatever
for us,
alhamdulillah.
We must be positive too as parent. We
must know how to handle our young generation
today. Don't pressure.
I remember the day when I was
going to school, no pressure from the parent.
You just do, no tuition, nothing.
At our time, no tuition, no tuition. You
go to school, when the teacher is talking,
listen.
No. It's not for you to play when
the teacher is talking, but the teacher before
is very different from the teacher today.
Teachers are very committed.
They love to see the children,
you know, pass the exam, make them very
proud,
but today the teacher is all commercial,
making money.
Did they just give you a bid here,
bid there, then up to your tuition,
pay me again.
Everything is being commercialized.
Knowledge is being commercialized.
Everything.
Charity is being commercialized. You just name it.
Nausmiller.
Of course there are 2 types of business,
business that you will regret.
They are business that you will gain
a lot of benefit from Allah. They call
Tijaratun
lantabur,
a business that's sure to guarantee your profit,
tummya and Akira,
if you follow the way of Prophet Muhammad,
someone more as salam.
A thinker have said from where has the
idea come to us, we say that a
luxurious stable life, free from obstacle and hardship,
creates prosper prosperous and great men.
Where does the idea come from?
The case is quite the opposite.
Those who have made a habit of living
the easy life will continue to further develop
lazy habit
as they go on in life.
We become weaker and weaker
because they are not hardworking
people.
Think that is very easy for you to
have, Like today our children have a very
comfort kind
of life.
Remember when we were young, do we sleep
in an aircon room?
No aircon,
Today,
no econ cannot stay.
Wow.
Can you imagine?
The same goes to us, we are so
spoiled already.
If there's an electrical
electricity failure called.
Yeah. Because we are so spoiled,
you know,
they don't sweat anymore.
If possible,
no sweat. My body is free from sweat.
You know, sweating
is burning,
is helping to burn all the extra thing
inside your body.
You see white people before are very healthy,
they still can go to the field, they
can do this, they can do because they
keep on sweating. It burns.
Whatever they take, it burns. The sugar that
they just burn.
Now,
no burning.
We become barbecue.
History witnesses the greatness
has surrendered its reign to men of different
background.
From this background are environment that have both
good and bad,
or environments
where good and bad cannot
be differentiated,
and cannot
be distinguished,
and from
such environment have sprung up men who have
carried great responsibility
on their shoulders
without
ever negligently
casting them off.
Just look at our parents today.
We have not gone through all the comfort
of children today. They work very
hard to give the best for their children,
but they don't feel that it's hard as
long as their children is happy.
When they can give look at the children,
children happy, they are happy, normally.
Parent is like that.
But children don't have that value.
They just want they
happy.
You are happy or not, they don't care,
as long as I'm happy.
Give me what I want.
No.
We want all our children to learn.
They can be the best,
yeah, leader, the best
daughter, the best wife, the best
mother in the future if they start to
learn, be grateful,
be contented
with what
you have.
You want more, work more.
That's all you have to do.
Don't give up. Don't be lazy.
Don't be selfish.
Just think of yourself.
Who are those that carried the flag of
divine guidance in the early day of Islam?
If you look back to the history brothers
and sisters,
the one who carried the flag of Leh
Ilaha Ilhamo Muhammed Rasulmah,
They were the freed slaves.
There's a lot of slavery before,
and they become
a free man,
a free lady,
because when the Muslims
understand what is Islam,
they want everyone to be the slave of
Allah,
not the slave of humans,
so that's how Islam
overcome
slavery.
Before Islam,
the strong exploit the weak,
the powerful oppressed,
yeah,
the weak one.
So a lot of slavery.
Islam
came and abolished slavery.
No more.
Freedom.
1, they believe in Allah, free them so
that they become
the slave of Allah.
Ibadullah.
Not Ibadul,
insan
Ibadullah.
They were the freed slaves, the poor,
and the destitute,
but they hold on
to la
ilaha illa Muhammadu
Rasool.
And Allah keep on giving them victory upon
victory,
because
means Allah. It's aja
an Nasru Mu'ah.
When the help of Allah comes,
you will see
the result.
And most of the people who stood
differently against them were the nobles, the chief,
and the rich, the one who followed them.
Not only
the poor,
even the rich honor them because
everything is from Allah. He raise up whoever
he want
and he downgrade whoever he wish.
Remember the Ayah, the majority of Muslim memory.
Say,
remember,
every
power kingdom
belong to Allah.
All the things in this world
belong
to the real king, Allah, Rubal al Malik.
All authority
belong to him.
He give to whom he pleased
and he will take away from whom
he pleased.
He honored those who honor
him
and he were downgrade,
those who
ignored him.
All kingdoms belong to him.
Be connected to him.
Do what he wants you to do. Even
you are nobody, you become somebody.
You're weak, you're weak, He makes you strong.
You're poor, He makes you rich,
because everything belonged to Him.
And when our clear verses are recited to
them, those who disbelieve
among the rich and the strong among the
pagan of Quraysh
who live in
a life of luxury say
to those who believe
because the believer are the poor, the weak,
and the companion of our beloved Prophet Muhammad,
son of Musa.
And I'll now end by saying which of
the 2 group,
believers or disbelievers,
is best in position
and station place in Council of Consultation.
In Surah 2 19,173
Allah is
telling us
about how the pagan,
yeah, look down upon the poor,
the weak one, the believer.
At the end of our day, Allah
proved to them they are wrong.
And they say we are more
involved
and insurance and we are not going to
be punished.
They claim
the disbeliever can claim anything.
Their life
is like
a drama.
It's not real.
Real life is different,
you know.
Allah keeps on reminding us
thus we have tried some of them with
others
that they might say,
is it this poor believer that Allah have
favored
from among us?
Does not Allah know best those who are
grateful?
Who are the one who decide?
It's me, it's Allah, not you.
You value
success in a different way. Allah value success
from a different angle.
You thought that we have a paper. Oh,
you are so good. No, paper is just
a paper.
You are a doctor, you are an engineer,
you are scientist, you are this and that.
You have a paper,
But if you are arrogant,
ungrateful to Allah,
you don't worship him,
there's no value.
One question
about your dunya,
Allah will not ask.
Where do you get your PhD?
What degree do you have? Allah will now
ask this question.
He asked, who is your Lord?
If you fail to answer class,
you fail.
Ma rubuq,
if you can answer Allahu Rabii,
my Lord is Allah
shukr.
Question number 2.
Mahadeen, what is your religion?
You don't follow Islam. You cannot answer.
Now you can answer, people ask, what is
your really Islam?
Because you still have the desire,
yeah, you can just say what you want
to say.
But do you think when you die
6 feet below,
you think you are like
what you are today? No.
The only thing that will help you to
answer is your
belief and your action.
Your action, your armor will speak on your
behalf, not your desire. Holla.
It's the amount that you are doing when
you are healthy here, they are going to
represent you.
Al Islamuddinin.
What is your religion? Islam.
Why you say is because you live the
guidance of Islam, you follow the Islamic, the
divine law.
You know what is halal, what is haram
based on Islam.
Alhamdulillah,
and he's going to ask you again,
who is this man?
Who is your prophet?
How can you answer? You can't if you
don't follow his sunnah now.
That's why when Allah revealed the ayah, the
Surah, Innaa'a'twainnaqalqauthar.
The first
And Allah is going to give the prophet
upon
of water
a lot of goodness, alcoza.
In the Day of Judgment,
this
water will be collected from janitor pheridos, will
flow,
and it becomes like a pond
or a lake of alkausal
water. Whoever drinks,
they will never experience
thirst anymore,
and this is only given to the prophets
and his ummah to all of us.
The ummah of Moses, the ummah of Jesus,
the ummah of Abraham will not touch this.
Only
the ummah of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam that Allah promised.
So the prophet will come and call upon
us in the day of judgement.
Umati,
umati, where is my ummah? So all the
ummah on the prophet, the caller of Azzan,
Azzin,
the people who worship Allah 5 times a
day, the people take evolution,
all these people will come forward.
To do what?
To drink the water
of alcovesa.
But there are groups,
the angel forbid them.
No.
You you you, you have no right
to touch
that water.
Get away.
Go.
We'll be chased away.
The prophet was shocked.
He said Allah promised that this is for
my ummah,
so he talked to Allah.
Allah never break his promise, so Allah said,
you don't know what they have been doing
after your death.
They have abandoned your teaching. They have abandoned
your sunnah. They don't care about what you
want them to do anymore. They do what
they want to do. They follow so many
people but they don't follow you anymore You
Rasulullah.
And that's why they are not allowed
to drink the water from
this pond.
So don't underestimate,
yeah,
the power of following the prophet.
You will get a lot of blessing.
Yeah.
Allahu akbarah.
Thus we have tried some of them with
others
that they might say,
is it this
poor believer that Allah favored among us? Of
course Allah,
yeah,
choose whoever He like,
and does not Allah know best those who
are grateful? Allah know better.
Allah continue by telling us,
Allahu
akbar, and those who disbelieve,
who are strong and in reality
say
of those who believe
weak and the poor?
The strong and the wealthy sometimes,
they are not the believer,
so you don't get worry about how strong
they
are, how rich they
are. They get all the haram income,
they they exploit the weak one, yeah, and
do they rob here, they rob there, they
go to country and they colonize
and rob their country and
then enrich themselves in the country.
They are robber.
Yeah. Official robber.
License,
yeah, robber.
So don't worry about that.
Had it
Islamic monotheism
to which Muhammad is inviting mankind been a
good thing,
they, the weak Emperor, would not have preceded
us there too.
Allah doesn't value you because of your money,
your wealth.
No.
That's why the prophet
Allah don't look into how you look, how
powerful you are, how fair you are,
what
eye what color of eye you have, blue,
red,
yellow.
He don't care about that,
and He don't look into your wealth.
What He look is,
He looks into your deeds and what is
in your heart.
What is in your heart?
Your heart submit to Allah,
there's a best heart
than to submit to things
that don't last,
and everything
came from
Allah.
Those who were arrogant said, verily, we disbelieve
in that which you believe in. Normally that's
what
the disbeliever
always
react.
We don't believe what you believe.
It's the choice.
Yeah. Nobody can force anybody to believe, you
know.
Even you want to believe, remember what Allah
said, fa inamandum
bi mislimaamantum
bihi fakoda tadu.
If you believe the way the first generation,
the prophet and the companions believe,
then you are guided.
You don't believe in your way. You believe
in the way the prophet have taught you
and the companion
who have believed. Just follow them.
Today we are very confused.
We believe in so many
ways
and that the scholar say this, we believe,
and then the scholar say we also fall.
We forget to go back
to what Allah said about the believer and
how do the prophet, someone who wasalam, taught
his companion
about iman.
That's why Allah said,
If you believe the way that how the
early nation believed, you will be guided. Don't
worry about what people want to say to
you. Don't worry.
They can say this, they can say that.
Today you can People are very confused.
In Malaysia,
double confused.
You see anything to do with belief, aqidah,
iman,
you follow
certain
star,
certain
scholar.
Neither the scholar calls you to follow him.
That is the problem.
This scholar will come up with this kind
of,
yeah,
I would say this kind of,
method.
He never said, Follow me.
He just used that method because that is
the situation they are facing with the different
kind of people mindset, so they used that
approach.
It's not they say mine is the best,
follow me, you don't follow me you turn
astray, but the way we are talking to
the public
is that you must follow that way only.
May Allah say follow His way.
We are confused,
And you are using the name of God's
good scholar
and you are lying,
yeah,
with their name. They never said follow me.
They said this is our approach
because we encounter different kind of
environment, so we approach in this manner.
Do you know what I'm sharing with you,
brother and sister?
Yeah. Some know, some
may Allah make you understand.
Those who don't share
with those
who are not sure.
Sometimes we feel
sad, very sad. Where are we heading?
Don't we have that guidance, the Quran and
the Sunnah, the Prophet,
to show us the way we have?
Don't we read the seeras of all the
Khalifa of Rashidin, the people that guarantee go
to paradise? We have,
but why our mindset is so
narrow?
Why we are still so confused we don't
understand?
Unlal Musa'a.
None of the imams said follow me.
None.
All the Imams, our Hanifa, Mali, shafi, humbly
say follow Quran and Sunnah.
None of the great imam Abu Sha'ar, our
Hassan Sha'ari, al Abu Mansur Mutu said follow
me. He said follow Quran and Sunnah.
When it comes to,
we the blind
follower start to say, think that none of
the scholars say that,
and we use their names sometimes like this
is what the imam said, na'unzubillahi
minasalik.
I don't know what is happening to our
mindset,
why we are going so far away from
the truth,
And we keep on asking Allah, Ihdinasiraatunmustaqim
day in day out. Oh Allah,
guide us all to the straight path, and
Allah has shown you the way, and you
don't choose that way,
and you want to choose Your way.
We just
don't understand.
Are we sad?
Or are we sad because the way have
been shown to us and we still
refuse to follow,
and we ask for guidance.
And they say Allah is talking to us,
telling us
why is not this Quran stand down to
some great men of the
2 towns, Makkah and Ta'if?
Is it they
who would portion out the mercy of your
Lord? They always have argument
when they don't want to follow. Why why
why
why you only send these people, the poor
and the weak one who follow,
it should come from the great man.
It's up to Allah.
You see, Prophet Muhammad,
he was born without a
father.
And then,
after a while, the mother passed away an
orphan.
From ground 0,
and he had to be breastfed by
other people.
Breastfed by who? Halima Thussaudia.
After the mother
keeps her breastfeeding,
then Suwayba,
the slave of Abu Lahab, who was freed
because of his birth
and then she, Suwai Ba'i, breastfeed the Prophet,
later on Hari Matus Adia, the third one.
And he's a poor guy, orphans,
no father, no mother now,
taken care by the uncle Abu Talib,
but he have a very unique character
from young.
I'm going to guide him through.
Everybody loves him
because he never lies when he speaks, he
only speaks what is right,
Siddiq.
When you entrust him with anything, he prove
to you you can trust him, Amana.
When He makes any promise, He never betray
and breaks any promises.
All the good
character
that we should have is in Prophet Muhammad's
son-in-law.
That's why when
You look at the Quran there is the
character of Prophet Muhammad
Today
our character only God knows.
Half Bollywood, Hollywood,
you
know, our character is so unique.
Yeah. We follow the West until the West
also don't know who you are following.
You know, the West have abandoned
the old way and we are picking up
the old way.
We have the best guidance
to follow the Quran and the Sunnah.
I often recall the words
of Antiras
in which
he established
that his worth
is in his character and deeds and not
in his lineage or connection,
and he said despite being a slave I
am a noble chief,
and despite being black in color I have
a white character.
These are beautiful
words
shared by
good people, yeah.
Alhamdulillah, brother and sister,
we hope Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
will help us
to gain this noble character,
guided by the Quran
and the sunnah of our beloved prophet Muhammad,
salamu
alayhi salam.
And we are the kind of Ummah.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
accept all our good deeds.
Forgive all our sins and mistakes,
and make us
the best again.
Amen. If there's any question, now we're open
for q and a. Fotafodol.
Any q and a?
If there's any on the line? Online? Okay.
Start from there first.
What is the cutoff time for Ishak prayer?
Every prayer there is a time, the beginning
and the ending.
Inna salataka
Inna salataka nasaalataka nat alammininakitaaban
mongkutah, Allah said indeed the time of prayer
has been fixed for the believer
so Fazal will end when sunrise.
Zohr ends when Asar comes in.
Asad end when Maghreb comes in.
Maghreb end when Isha come in.
Isha end when midnight come in.
The midnight
Islamically,
according to the Islamic calculation,
Niswolei
may not to have midnight,
no, that means you count, Maghreb start at
what time, Fajaro start at what time?
Okay. Maggraf start at what time, fajar
start at what time, just example,
Maggraf start at 7:20,
6
Fajal start.
In between
there is our midnight,
there is our midnight.
Hope is clear.
Okay, second question,
what is the best sequence of fardhu prayers,
sunnah prayers
and azhkar?
Should it be fardhu prayers
and then you recite your azhkar and then
only you perform your sunnah prayers?
Repeat.
She's asking, like,
when we want to perform, the supergothory
supergothory
prayers, sunnah prayers, right? The sunnah prayer. Okay.
For example, like Zohu prayers, right? Do we
perform those okay. After we perform the Zoho
preys, do we recite the adkar first and
then we perform the sunnah preys? Or do
we straightaway perform the sunnah preys
and then at the end of the Sunnah
Piris we recite our adkar?
Askar.
Askar.
Yeah.
The zikr that is recommended
by our prophet is to recite after Faruq
prayer,
So there is a space between the Faruq
and the Sunnah prayer,
but if a person is rushing for something
that is more important
after the Fardu prayer
you see at least to say astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah,
astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah,
then you can do your sunnah prayer and
after that while you are moving you can
continue with your zikr, the azhkar,
but highly recommended
after the father's prayer you make the azhkar
because that is what the prophet has shown
us.
But like I said again sometime, our lifestyle
is different, we are rushing, but at least
you said, astaghfirullah,
astaghfirullah,
astaghfirullah,
because the prophet don't like people to
immediately after the Faroo
do the sunnah prayer.
There must be a gap.
Yeah.
Either you move to another area,
Yeah. That means you don't pray on the
same spot where you perform the Farooq prayer.
Move.
Then of course while you're moving, but don't
just move.
Be at least honor the imam
after imam gives salam, you give salam, the
imam will say, astaghfirullah,
astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah,
astagh. Remember, Imam was saying, astaghfirullah,
astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah,
astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah,
astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, ast
istighfar
is only astakfirullah.
Astakfirullah.
A lot of people do more than that.
Astak from Muharazim Malazilah
Ilahi Wa Rahayu Muwatu, that istighfar
was taught by the prophet but not as
a zikr
after Faru'ludu prayer. You can recite in other
time,
yeah, but the one that was recommended after
Farooq, astaghfirullah,
astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, short and sweet.
Alhamdulillah.
Yeah.
That is the way. Next.
Okay. Next question.
This person is asking,
is there any specific
to our deceased parents.
Okay. None in the sunnah of the prophet.
None been practiced by any companions.
None have been practiced by the 4 great
imam Abu Hanifa, Malik Shafi'i, Hamali
to perform
any sunnah prayer for the deceased.
No. The only thing that
Prophet Muhammad
does and the companion and all the great
scholars of Islam is
to make prayer istikfar.
Whoever passed away
and you came to know,
ask Allah to forgive their soul.
That's all.
The prayer of disease for the disease, not
sunnah prayer,
2 raka'an
or 4 raka'an.
No. Don't do that. Even your intention is
good, but Ibadah
is not for you to plus, minus
without any
example from the prophet because
Islam,
anything to do Ibadah is been perfected by
Allah through his messenger.
No plus and minus. The prophet said, man
amila, amalandaysa,
layi amruna fahuwaradun.
Whoever do an act of worship not taught
by us will not be accept, will be
rejected. It's a waste of time.
Don't follow what people say. Follow what Allah
and the prophet
want us to do. Inzaq'Allah.
Any last one? There's a Online?
3 more.
I think these are short questions. Okay.
Okay. So another person is asking,
what is the minimum distance for us to
be able to shorten our prayers?
Minimum
distance,
as long as you are a traveler
and you know you're a traveler,
then
the shorten of the prayer is
recommended.
The prophet never fails.
Scholars will fix
80 kilometers,
maybe 60 kilometers.
Yes, scholars will give you some guidelines
but not from the you have to be
sincere to yourself.
Are you a traveler?
If you used to travel 1 area to
another, it's a routine now. Every day there
is, you stay here, you work there, it
becomes routine, so you are not considered as
a traveler anymore,
But when you are outside from the normal
zone,
and
you know,
that
you have the right to claim that I
am a traveler.
You have to ask yourself, actually this is
a test from Allah,
you know,
because when the prophet never limit, we have
no right to limit. It's just opinion, no
problem. You have your opinion, I have my
opinion.
There is your opinion. You feel, oh,
lesser than 80 kilometer,
I'm not a traveler. If you decide
that as your guideline,
carry on, but you cannot tell this is
the law, you can't.
Now. Okay. Next question.
In Mecca, our prayers will have blessings
up to 100 times 100,000
times.
But what if we do bad deeds in
Mecca? Do we get the same bad deeds,
but 100,000
times?
Wow.
What we know is about the goodness
of maka'.
We may commit sin too, when you are
in the Holy Land.
Would the sin be calculated 100,000
times? Now, one thing I want to tell
you, that hadith is considered about praying in
Masjid al Haram.
Just praying,
not talking about fasting,
talking about praying
In Masjid al Haram,
there are some people came out with another
understanding,
you can pray in any mosque in Mecca,
you get 100,000
reward.
That is just an opinion.
The prophet now said,
any mosque in Mecca, he said, the Masjid
al Haram.
So some people say because this Masjid are
the Masjid also in the
in haram, in the land of haram. So
they say you also have the right. No.
You cannot make tawa of in other masjid,
only in Mecca and Makarama,
yeah, where the Kaaba is there, you get
that reward.
So talking about
prayer,
about your sin,
is up to Allah. There's no hadith on
them,
opinion maybe,
so what in general
if you look at the Hadith the Prophet
did mention
and even Allah said, the kulli hasana ashru
amsalih
every good deed will be rewarded 10 times
extra to 700 times.
Except fasting,
the fasting is up to Allah to reward
us,
but any bad thing
will count as 1.
To show Allah's mercy is so great.
You commit a sin,
they write for you one sin.
You commit a good peace,
they write for you 10 to 700
times.
You see how
loving and kind Allah is?
The hadith is there now. Next.
Okay, next question is,
nikob is prohibited
during ihram.
However, I read that covering the full face
is permissible.
How does this jive when it's like polar
opposites?
So that's what she's asking. Cover covering the?
Face. The face.
No no no. There is nikob.
Then what is the second one after that?
She's asking like nikob is prohibited during iqram.
However, I read that covering the full face
is considered permissible.
The what covering the Covering the full face.
Covering the full face.
There is nikok.
Nikok is to cover the face.
Until you have a good reason,
storm dust suddenly,
then not only the male, the female, even
the male will start to cover because it
will endanger your eye, your nose and everything
because the storm dust is very strong sometimes.
That's why you see in the in Arab
country, normally the male also where the eagle
ready
is when the sandstorm come, they are going
to cover.
Yeah. Why? Because
to protect yourself from
further harm,
yeah, from the sandstorm.
You see, it can even cause harm to
your eyesight and so on. You know in
the time the prophet, they don't have sunglasses
like today, you know,
but so they used that
as a protection.
So you should
follow what the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
has commanded us to do. I
normally
don't like to entertain opinion
when the hadith is very clear.
When there is no clear hadith, you may
entertain
opinion.
But please remember,
opinion is just opinion.
It's not
a legal law.
Yeah? Na'am, any
question from the brother who is here today?
No? Any question? Okay.
Humanity,
in a person, in a Muslim we have
so many categories.
The Muslim,
Mokbin,
Muqorabin,
Salihin.
Yeah. Muqorabin, I think is the highest.
Based on your level of iman. Correct. So
there is a last verse in the Surah
Fajr,
talking about the mutma'ina
soul.
Mudma'ina? Yes.
When the,
what do you call it? Angel who invite
the soul to come up, right? To come
up when to take the the soul away.
So that
in that verse,
who are the person with such
soul and we want to relate to the
mukharabim mutakin, so which level? Thank you. Okay,
Those kind of souls,
whatever
term that is being used,
Muslim, of course, Mu'umin, of course, Mu'tak'in,
mukhlesin,
everything is there really.
You can have everything, msolehin,
mukharube, all is there.
It's 1
in together.
If not, you cannot attain
nafsul mutwainna,
a peaceful
soul,
a soul that is pleasing Allah.
This soul
has compromised everything,
all these different categories
is there. So
to attain that soul, you must have all
this
with you.
If not, you have to work harder.
The rest is just to show you the
level.
Muslim
and then you upgrade to Muq'umin,
upgrade to Muttaq'in,
and of course the Muq'in Muslim and Muq'min
must have, Mulkilistin
must be sincere,
and Mokaribindi
must be close.
Solely him,
they must act righteously, all is 1.
Yeah.
Only when you attain taqwa,
you have everything.
That's why every time when almost say,
Yeah,
because taqwa
is the highest level.
That means when you have taqwa, you have
all the others already,
Inshallah.
Last question from the sisters.
Any question from the girls?
Any questions? You can pass the mic, and
the sisters are going to.
Okay. So,
Assalamu Alaikum Shay.
Just now you mentioned about 3 level of
people mentioned by Nabi Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam.
You and you mentioned one is the leader.
The leader.
And then you mentioned the knowledgeable, the knowledge
people with knowledge. And the third one I
missed the third one maybe. Yeah. The third
one, majority is like all of us.
That mean you don't have authority,
neither you are a speaker.
So
but you have the heart.
If you see something very wrong, your heart
reject.
You cannot say who are you.
No reporter come and ask your opinion
because we are nobody,
So that's why you see,
people who are like us,
not important.
No news wants to cover anything from us.
Us. They go to all this politician,
all this celebrity and ask it, we, alhamdulillah,
lay person, simple,
but we, our heart at least, must say
no.
If you don't feel,
then you know there's no more iman.
That means
you don't have the right
and qualified to say you are
the people who have iman no more.
There is a weakest one, that one will
kill you
because you don't feel for anything anymore.
But alhamdulillah, I believe most of the Muslim
still have
that.
They would just talk among themselves.
Why?
When you look at the picture that people
share with you how,
you know, they kill all these innocent babies,
you cry.
You shake tears.
But if you have no How do you
feel? Nothing.
They deserve that.
If you cannot even feel
you are a heartless person,
And that way we go under the category,
Allah
I prepare hellfire for the Jin and the
Ins, human.
They have heart, they are heartless people. They
don't feel anything.
Gone case.
Your heart is deep.
So that is the 3rd clue.
Clear? Yes. Alhamdulillah. May Allah bless us, brothers
and sisters. We end by tasbih Gifara.
Subhanahu wa bihamdikka.
Glory be to you, oh Allah.
All praises belong to you. We bear witness.
There's none worthy of worship except you alone.
To you,
we seek for forgiveness. Forgive us, oh Allah.
To you we repent, accept our repentance oh
Allah, Amin.
Assalamu alaikum
