Brothers and sisters, alhamdulillah
once again.
It's a beautiful feeling for all of us
here because
we're able to gather
again.
Together to worship Allah especially
to fast
in
this coming Ramadan that will start tomorrow.
The blessing of Ramadan is very unique
for us. You may not feel,
but I believe all of you have the
same feeling and experience.
You hardly can gather a lot of our
old Jama'ah and the new Jama'ah.
Only Ramadan, alhamdulillah.
Very unique.
It's Allah's blessing.
That's why Ramadan is special.
We know everybody has been very busy,
but we hope
we are busy for Akhira,
not only for Dunya.
Allah
remind us about the blessed man of Ramadan,
and he command all the believers,
oh you who believe, yeah, ayo haalazin aamanu,
Remember I am the one who make fasting
an obligation
upon you.
He choose this man
for us to fast,
but he also remind us
you are not the only
ummah
that Allah
command you to fast,
but he was.
He have commanded the earlier Ummah to fast.
That how he make fasting an obligation
upon
the ummah before all of you.
Then Allah said, the reason I want you
to fast is not to make your life
difficult,
to make you
unproductive,
to make you lazy, to give excuses,
because I'm not eating I'm not drinking don't
commit to do extra. No.
Purely because Allah love us He want to
bring all of us to the next level.
That is taqwa, la'alaqun
tataqun.
One thing that I like to share with
all our good brothers and sisters,
you can experience that we are praying on
a new
carpet.
Alhamdulillah.
I don't know whether you remember or not.
Yeah. We have been praying on a different
carpet for years years.
This year with Allah's blessing,
yeah, that of Baros and family,
yeah, contribute this new carpet for all of
us.
Alhamdulillah, may Allah reward them kindly.
Amen.
And also our members
who have been supporting us,
the staff, our youths, our volunteers who have
been preparing
this day.
We have a lot of
cleaning up
and the extension outside you can see another
new development
also
sponsored by the same man
in the family who sponsored the carpet.
Alhamdulillah.
Now one unique thing that happened to all
of us
is that we always come back together.
Even everybody is busy after that, but we
always make sure when Ramadan
comes, we are back.
Now this is a good spirit.
If you look into ayat
of the Quran, Allah keep on reminding us.
Now this ayah also that was recited by
our prophet every time
when he give a sermon, when he conduct
a classes,
and when he give khutbah and so on,
is to remind
all of us
how important
to attain taqwa.
Now one of the sign of a good
practising Muslim,
mu'min and muttaqeen,
look at the aya after that Allah said,
said, hold Hafas together
with the rope of Allah. Hold Quran and
the sunnah.
Don't ever
abandon no Quran and sunnah.
Don't be divided. Don't allow anybody
to divide you
from
the Muqmin and Muttaqeen.
If you think you are doing something good
but you are dividing,
then it's not good.
Because Allah forbid
the believer and the muttaqien
to
be divided,
stay,
Hold on together
with the Quran and the sunnah.
By doing that,
inshallah,
this Ramadan
will be the best Ramadan.
We can be busy, but we must stay
together,
stay connected,
Do things collectively.
There's a lot of blessing.
We know what happened when Ramadan come in.
There are few things I like to remind
myself
and all the good jama'a,
veteran,
the elders,
the young one,
and we have the latest group called the
hive.
You may not be aware,
but we are sharing with all of you.
We always plan for the future.
We have
to plan for the next generation to come.
Now when Ramadan come in, what did the
prophet say?
One of the popular hadith is
the Ramadan.
The prophet is telling us
when Ramadan
come in,
the gate of paradise
is open.
Allahu akbar.
For all of us here,
Ramadan start tomorrow,
fasting day.
For those in the Middle East, they have
started yesterday.
Oh, today.
Today they start.
They qiyam last night.
This is what the prophet is telling us,
The gate of paradise is open. If
anybody who die while fasting,
he will be entering the gate of Arayan,
a special gate for you.
Then the second
blessing in the month Ramadan,
the gate of hell is closed.
Allah don't want us to suffer.
It's not
easy, brother and sister.
If you experience some burn here while you
are cooking, you can see
how it hurt
your body.
The whole body is aching
to the head, to your mind.
There is only
accidentally you are burned.
Maybe because of the heat,
maybe because of the gas,
but whole body is going into hell.
So the prophet is telling us,
The 13th
shaitan
is going behind Banao
but you find there's still a lot of
shaitan in Ramadan.
But you don't blame the jinn
Shaitan,
you blame human Shaitan.
Because the prophet said shaitan
is been changed.
If he can talk to you say don't
blame me,
I cannot disturb you anymore. If you're ready
are fasting, I can't. I surrender.
Wasosileth shayatin.
And then the prophet remind us
how to fast.
Whoever fasts
with the right intention,
right faith,
I believe that Allah
want me to be a better person.
Wahdisaban
with hope.
Following all the SOP of fasting,
Prophet Muhammad promised
all of us,
All your past sins,
Allah
forgive her.
That is for the fasting
when we are going to do it tomorrow
in the daytime,
Then at night time, Rasmus said again,
Again, once you fast, Allah forgave
all the past sins. Then Allah said, the
prophet said again, whoever
come,
which we have just performed just now,
with the right faith and do it properly.
When the prophet
command us to pray he always said,
perform your prayer like how you seen me
perform. We never lived in a thunder prophet
but it was witnessed by the companion, by
the wife of the prophet,
and is recorded in the authentic hadith,
how can we
as the ummah in the prophet fail
to understand.
Don't pray just for the sake of praying.
You pray the way the prophet want you
to pray.
Example tonight, you see we are we don't
rush
to Maganinah,
recitation for teah,
all is
wakaf wakaf, not wazong. There is a best
ada.
You are talking to Allah.
Allah wants you to talk to him in
a good
way, in well mannered,
aya or aya,
because he is going to respond, you see,
I Allah is going to respond.
You said arrahmanirrahim
Allah is going to respond you
said
Can you imagine?
Don't you want
Allah's
response?
Do we want that, brother and sisters?
It's a two way communication,
and at this
beginning of Ramadan, the first night of PM,
I believe all of you have
extra time to stay on, but I'm not
going to delay a lot.
Beautiful ayah been selected by our young imam.
Here is the training ground.
We do not just give you knowledge,
we offer a platform to train our young
generation
who have been leading us in prayer for
years
years,
so that when we die we die in
peace because we know our children can perform
prayer for us.
And that's why we have all these kind
of activities.
Alkadem activity is from cradle to grave.
When you have baby, you bring them here.
We'll do the
tahannik,
the halakh
and everything.
When something happens,
you need our services.
We have the
funeral
janazah rent, and we have our team to
help
so that we follow those sunnah from the
day we are born until we die.
We do not want to just I want
to follow the sunnah, but then you don't
stay in the jama'ah.
When you don't stay in the jama'ah,
you will not
be able to make sure that you will
end
with the sunnah of the prophet subhanahu wa
sallam.
And then what did
the imam also reciting?
Alhamdulillah.
Start with alif, lamin, al baqarah, alhamdulillah people
say, oh how long when juju were tonight?
But alhamdulillah our imam are very very caring
imam.
We have reminded them not to burden the
maqamun.
Yeah, if not then the madman cannot focus
in the prayer, they hate the imam, they
think imam imam imam when are you gonna
end your recitation?
Then there's no more communication, no more connection
with Allah.
Alhamdulillah,
they're very kind, passionate imam,
Yeah. Short,
sweet
and solid.
But please remember
today at least
I want to remind
how important
to understand
alif lamin.
Zalikalkitapla
rayba fihudal
lil muttaqing.
If you look at it, I want to
make it brief.
The few aya
Allah who created all of us know that
we are going to living
on planet earth here, this world,
full of corruption,
it's like a big rubbish bin.
You have the good, the bad, the ugly
everywhere.
Sometimes you have good friends, sometimes you have
bad friends, and you have ugly friends who
wait for you to fail, who wait for
you to drop.
In front of you they smile. Oh yeah,
my friend, behind you,
The good, the muttaqeen.
People
who believe what Allah said in the Quran
and they follow what Allah said in his
book.
The believer are the people who believe in
the unseen and then
they establish their prayer in the way the
prophet want them to perform the prayer and
they are ready to participate in infak
shadakah,
zakat, and everything. They are ready to give
for the sake of Allah.
That is the mumin.
And you know the poster here is talking
about in fact too
Because the prophet in the month of Ramadan,
he is the most generous person,
Never think of himself
except
he was thinking how can I give more
and give more and give more to help
the poor and the needy who need our
help?
Only the difference when you do it with
us,
we have our team
who will go and check their
database
background to make sure that they don't take
us for a ride. Everybody want to do
good but you don't have the time to
follow-up.
You don't have the time to follow-up with
the body and the mind and the soul.
We have this.
That's why we encourage people to do things
collectively.
If everybody want to do, you can do
of course,
but you are not helping the poor and
the needy.
Helping the poor and then it's not just
giving food, giving money but make sure you
give them knowledge, you follow-up
and make sure that they start to pray
because they don't need money to perform prayer.
A lot of poor they need it, they
don't even pray. Can you imagine?
They don't even remember Patekha sometimes but who
is there to follow-up? We are not here
to judge them, we're here to help them.
That is
how we do things here.
Now these are the good people you see.
Good people, any problem refer back to the
book,
And Muttaqin always go back to the book.
How many Muslim today when they have problem
they go back to the book?
Hardly anybody.
How many Muslim leaders when they talk they
use Quran to talk? No.
They only use the verses of Allah for
their own benefit, yes,
but not for the sake of Allah.
Then you have the kuffar, very clear cut.
They make sure that I'm not with you.
But today
we fail even with the kuffar.
When come to the kuffar,
ruhamah
bayinahum, we are so kind, so respectful,
always
so good to them, so passionate. When come
to the believer, we are so hard on
each other,
and Allah said, Muhammad
walaazina ma'ahu ashidau
ala kuffarruhamahobaynaoun.
Muhammad and
his follower,
they are very firm
dealing with the non believer.
Right is right. Wrong is right. No. We
never compromise.
Lakumdi no kum wale yagin.
Today
we don't know what is happening to this
ummah. They never compromise
with you.
We keep on compromising.
We have failed.
We have failed.
Ourselves have failed.
We have failed to protect our dignity,
our religion.
Muhammad
al-'Bayin al-'hom,
Muhammad Rasoolah and his followers,
when come to among believers they are very
kind, loving,
forgiving,
and they always help one another.
We are opposite
today.
Then
you know.
Are they believers? No.
Are they kufar? They don't say they are
kufar, they say they are with us. Then
the third
part of the aya came, waminanas
maya purom.
The group of people who in front of
you say I believe but they don't really
believe.
They are the worst people, the hypocrite.
A hypocrite, they behave like you, they pray
like you, they talk like you, they recite
Quran like you,
they fast like you, but when they have
problems they never go back to the Muslim,
they go back to the kuffar and ask
for advice. That is
the muna afiqa.
Their qibla is not Quran and sunnah.
Their qibla
mostly to the west.
Then you know
who they are. When you know who they
are, why Allah revealed this aya so that
you are alert brother and sister, you are
guided. Hudal lil muttaqih,
So you know, okay,
I know, I know who you are. You
don't have to
explain further because Allah informed me in the
Quran
about the characteristic
of the disbeliever, the characteristic
of a hypocrite.
Enough.
You can say anything I know.
Because Allah informed me, Allah cannot be wrong,
I can be wrong, how can you call
him unafraid? How you know why is he
not? I don't know. Allah knows.
And Allah have said, if you have this
sign, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, confirm.
Munafiqalas.
You still don't believe?
You don't believe in what Allah say, then
you have problem again.
Just an example.
These are the few I am many that
I want to share with all of you,
but not the right time. We will go
slowly.
Every night we are here to remind everybody
how to become better,
better, stronger, stronger,
more united, more positive.
Don't entertain all the whispering.
Remember
outside Ramadan
shaitan whisper.
Ramadan
shaitan
is chained. He cannot
whisper anymore. What he can do?
He send his agent. Who are the agents?
You and
chain now.
The gene in the Middle East was changed
today because they start Ramadan today
our gene still active
until tomorrow.
They are planning also you must plan now.
So you must know where you stand
because you are coming into Ramadan with the
right belief, iman,
no more. What Allah said I follow. What
the prophet, I mean, I will try my
best to do. Tell us.
I'm going to entertain what people don't say.
We know that
his proxy
for 11 months,
he look for his proxy.
1 month he take rest.
He then rest like us.
He is planning
for 2025.
Now we are 2024.
After Ramadan, he's going to come up
full force again
to make all of us get crazy.
Now
a humble reminder,
Skwadpiri Hating Kumisikanan
SPK
initiative
is dedicated
to help 500
poor and needy families
for a year.
If you go out later on you can
see we have
all the information
who want to pick up
1 family,
2 families,
you can sign in.
We conduct through interviews,
home visit to confirm because last time we
don't go they come.
What they say I mean we believe.
COVID help us.
COVID have a lot of blessing too.
COVID nobody move,
they cannot
come. Then we plan to go,
so we went visit them.
Alhamdulillah then we get to know them better.
We have home visit to identify
the most deserving
people,
families,
offering them not just physical sustainment but also
mental and spiritual,
BMS.
That is our value.
Be physically for the body,
and the mind, give them knowledge, Quran and
sunnah, and
as
spirit.
Connect them with Allah again.
Make them
worship Allah.
Make them read the book of Allah.
And we have weekly Quran and religious classes
for them to follow. This holistic support
serves as a temporary aid to empower these
families
toward a better future,
With many
already having successful getting out of poverty now
they are doing some small small business,
we we have empowered them
but we do it in a holistic manner,
monitor,
follow-up.
That is very important.
Together so that
more organized
together so that
more organized,
not just for the sake. You do, I
do, I do, everybody do, and now
everybody is getting
a lot of support from
the different group of people but same person
because you do not communicate with us.
Which area do we cover? Who do we
cover so that you don't have to do
it again?
If not, you may go to the same
place
and help the same people,
and the people there nobody help us. We
have all this problem before.
Sometimes we realize we have been helping you
for years and you say nobody help you
Because he informed other people, because other people
who approach them.
Now to feed a family for 365
days a year, this jariyah reward
from the Quran and religious classes
to be a reason
this family come of poverty
and if you do it in the month
of Ramadan
they are special reward because
in the month of Ramadan any good deeds
that you engage, brother and sister,
the reward is unlimited.
Yeah.
Other thing,
one
did I reward you 10 to 700 times
except
in Ramadan. When you are fasting,
you abandon your shahwat, you abandon
your drink, your food, everything for the sake
of Allah, and you respond to the call
of Allah
for infah,
the reward,
unlimited. Sisters, if you got a man who
love you, give you a credit card, unlimited
card. How you feel?
How you feel?
Allahu akbaru.
But Allah's card is better.
Allah's card,
unlimited. She's blessing Allah, but it's not just
money, brothers and sisters.
You have more,
you think it's yours? No.
You are the keeper for a while, you
don't give one day
the money will be taken away
and too late for you to give.
So InshaAllah you'll find on the way out
you see some
banner there on the wall outside here.
There's numbers there, family family from 1
to 500.
You can pick up.
And you communicate with our team,
you go to the website, website will be
shared to all of you by tomorrow.
Yeah. We are doing all these things but
they have some technical problem,
but we will inform all of you by
tomorrow.
So brother and sister,
please make sure
don't miss your sahur number 1,
Yeah.
Now I think I have early sahur.
No no no.
Saho
half hour, half hour before fajar,
best time so Sahuru.
You wake up for that sau fee barka,
blessing,
and don't forget to make du'a too.
And if you do saww all the time,
inshallah,
fajar on time.
If you do sahur earlier than that, now
wuz billah.
We don't know what time is your fajal.
And when you break fast, please brother and
sister,
try to follow the sunnah.
Break fast, remember not dinner yet, break fast.
Iftar,
tamar,
some fruit,
drink, kalas,
salah.
But before that
don't be too busy
preparing for food to Iftar
until you miss the good time to make
dua.
Because the duas of the person who's fasting
before he breaks his path will not be
rejected.
Don't miss the opportunity.
Thirdly,
don't forget
when you eat dinner or any time,
don't waste.
If you waste, it's not don't blame shaitan.
Even Allah said,
When Shaitan is no more there, it's you.
Yeah, so don't waste. Lastly,
don't forget to be ready to engage in
INFAC.
In donate
to
our team, SPK team, so that we can
do more for the future Ummah.
May Allah bless all of you, have a
good
rest
and don't forget
this month
Allah choose to reveal
all the holy scripture.
I'll share with you about that tomorrow,
so don't forget to start to read the
Quran.
I will recommend after reading
10 pages, stop,
read the meaning.
I want you to understand
what Allah is
saying to us.
Just keep reading, reading, katam, katam, and don't
understand
where is the value.
That's why we have so much problem because
we don't know what we are reading.
Quran is a guidance,
every problem.
You dispute, you are confused with anything, back
to the book,
but recite, stop, go through the meaning.
You don't understand, note it down when you
attend the classes.
All our ongoing classes is still on. You
can
ask.
Enbridge yourself
before it's too late.
And lastly,
please
stay still comma.
We have been failing it's not because we
never learned,
it's not that we don't have knowledge,
but we are not is the comma in
the Jama'a.
So once again,
we bless, we ask a lot to forgive
all of us who are here
and forgive all our family members who have
passed away,
all the members who are with us since
we have our maracas here,
and many who have returned back to Allah.
May Allah forgive them
and may Allah
make them among the righteous people, siddiqeen,
shuhada
or sodihin.
And so that one day
when we go back to Allah, may Allah
meet all of us again.
Now how we gather all of us in
Ramadan,
in Jannatah Firdos al-'A'la.
in Jannatah Firdos al-'A'la.
