Firstly, we would like to welcome all the
brothers and sisters
near and far.
We have brothers who just came back from
Oman, brother who came back from overseas.
The minute they arrive at Hamdulah,
they never miss to visit our center
and to continue
clam with us.
Brothers and sisters, we hope
with the mercy of our God Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala,
we among ourselves will bear witness
for one another in the day of judgment.
To say to Allah,
this is my companion,
this is my friend, my brother, my sister,
who
worship you Allah
together with us.
This is the jama'ah
who fast together with us.
This is the Jama'ah who performed Umrah with
us. This is the Jama'ah who performed Hajj
with us.
This is a jama'ah
who participated
with us in doing all the good
activities
in reaching out to the poor and the
needy, everything that we do together,
allahannrubalalamin
will bless us that we will bear witness
among
ourselves,
inshallah.
The beauty of doing things
as a jama'ah, the prophet said, jama'ah
rahma.
There's a lot
of blessing
that we will receive Allah's mercy,
unended
mercy.
And the mercy of Allah extended not only
here to the day of judgment.
Insha'Allah,
I will share with you one of our
very important hadith,
not tonight, tomorrow,
about a warning from Allah,
about something that happened to our prophet, sunnallahu
alaihi wa sallam,
that he was shown by Allah
about the people
who abandoned
fasting,
their future.
For us who have been fasting and alhamdulillah,
I'd like to share with you this hadith
that I've shared in my class
this morning.
It's not new for all of us, but
it's good
to keep on revisiting
the saying of our prophet, son of a
sallam.
The prophet
said to the companions,
All the deeds of the children of Adam,
all of us, male and female,
are for them, for yourself.
Everything
you do is for your own good.
Allah don't need anything from us actually.
But whatever Allah want you to do and
you're doing it it is for our own
good.
And the reward
that Allah is preparing for all of you
based on the good deeds,
You know when good deeds mean your intention
must be for Allah,
the near,
then the way you perform it you follow
the way of the prophet salamu alayalam.
Then only you consider there is amaursaleh,
good deeds.
Not only deeds but good deeds.
A lot of people fail to understand
the importance
of doing good deeds.
They like to do deeds but they don't
care about whether it's good, it's righteous, or
not.
That's why when you look into the Quran,
when Allah
said, Allah swear with time
every one of us is a loser.
Except those who believe, and a believer will
still end as a loser
until he act upon what he believed. And
whatever he do, he still can be a
loser until the action is
solemn. So important to make sure that whatever
we do
is solid.
How to make sure that whatever you do
is solid? You just have to have the
right knowledge.
How would the prophet someone want us to
do? Like prayer, like Ezekiel, like shukur, example.
Remember a short du'a that the prophet reminds
us to recite every morning and every evening
and sometimes the prophet will encourage you to
recite
every time after the end of the Faroe
Deux prayer.
I will start slowly, please,
yeah, continue.
It start
by saying Allahummaa
inni
ala thikriqa.
Again,
louder.
What
is the meaning of this
prayer?
Very simple.
Oh Allah,
allahummaa'ini
help me.
Help you to do what?
Help me to remember You.
Sometimes to remember Allah is not easy, brothers
and sisters.
To recite the Quran is not easy. Even
it's very handy. Everybody have an app of
Quran.
You have download the Quran app, but it's
not easy
because, right, imam was reciting aya,
there are a lot of people you redo
the dunya, you just want dunya.
For dunya you are prepared to sacrifice,
to do everything for dunya
because you can see the result.
You do more, you get more, maybe.
But now the prophet is saying,
if you do for Allah and you do
it correctly,
I am going to reward you
10 times
to 700
times.
But the problem you can't see the reward
from Allah.
There is a test because you can't see
so you are not attracted to it.
But it's okay.
We hope by fasting
it strengthen our iman.
To believe in the unseen,
and then the prophet continued
by saying kallallahu
azza wa jal and now
he's moving to kallallahu,
meaning hadisqotsi.
In the beginning, he himself is telling us.
Now he is telling what Allah
is
saying.
Whatever you do, any good deeds, your prayer,
your sadaqah,
and other things,
your Hajj, your Umrah
is for you,
for your own benefit.
And then also accept fasting.
And because
we are prepared to abandon what is halal,
not haram, what is halal?
Your shahwat,
there is halal. Your food, there is halal.
Your drink, there is halal, but we are
ready to sacrifice
all this.
In the daytime
purely for Allah.
It's not because of Allah I don't think
we can do.
Because you can eat by yourself, nobody knows.
You can just disappear for a while and
then you have some drink, who knows?
You know Allah, the all knowing. It's not
easy actually
to fast except when you have the right
iman.
And because you are willing to do it
for the sake of Allah,
Allah said, now I
will reward you
without any limit.
This is what Allah said.
What he saw in Farhadan.
We have been sharing all these beautiful hadith
with all of you,
but one thing I want to remind all
the good brothers,
especially the young brothers
and all also who are here,
one of the adepts
that the companion
have,
where the Tabi'in have,
when the great 4 imam have.
Imam Shafi'i rahim Allah said
when anybody
is addressing,
talking about,
kala rasulullah,
call Allah.
You know how they respond?
They're completely
silent.
They listen.
No more talking, no more discussing about
what the people say, what your opinion, what
do you think. No. No. When somebody could
call a local, immediately
they listen, they are quiet.
Why?
The way they respect the word of Allah
and the saying of the prophet is like
Allah is talking to them
it's like the prophet is talking to them
how can you disrespect
Allah when Allah is talking to you and
you don't bother to listen?
If the king is talking to you, do
you think you will
say other things, talk to your friend?
No. Complete silence.
That is how they respect the knowledge,
not like us.
Inside here is very quiet alhamdulillah.
Outside
we don't know.
There's a lot of tests outside than inside.
Yeah.
So it's good to stay inside.
If you are given a chance to be
in, go in.
Yeah.
It's a different kind of environment.
Now Allah is telling us what he saw
in Farhatan
Farhatan.
Anybody who fasts,
they will have 2 happiness.
They are sure
to be happy.
The first one,
when you break fast.
How do you feel when you want to
break a fast, are you happy?
Or you say, why
so early
again. I like to delay at 10 am.
Oh no, 10 am, 10 pm.
Everybody was waiting for the breaking of fast,
and there's nothing wrong to be happy. The
prophet said you are considered a good person
who are fasting in the way the prophet
and Allah want you to fast.
When you break your fast immediately,
don't delay unnecessary.
Don't say, I think I want to be
better than my friend.
They break fast before prayer, I break fast
after prayer.
It's not good
because the prophet wants you to break fast
immediately
before the prayer.
So you you break fast. Alhamdulillah. We are
happy.
The second happiness when we meet Allah
because Allah is so pleased with all of
us.
You fast for His sake. You do everything
for Him.
Now He is waiting for you.
When Allah is pleased with us what he
has said,
And what he promised,
I will reward you with Jannah. Brothers and
sisters,
yes, sorry if some of the sisters feel
a bit hot today,
you know,
Because normally
when we're on the air con the people
feel cool,
but because
more people is worshiping Allah,
the aura is different.
So we're on the fan alhamdulillah.
But remember when you go to Jannah,
Allahu Akbar, you will never experience this problem
anymore.
And the weather in Jannah
is very very unbelievable.
Those who don't like cold,
immediately
the weather changed for him.
Those who like to be cooler,
immediately it go according to your liking.
Can you imagine?
Maybe like you are together in the room,
you with your husband, insha'Allah,
and your husband don't like gold, you like
gold.
You can be together
and
Allah will give the weather according to your
liking
and to Him according to His liking. Can
you imagine that situation?
Can you get that here?
Cannot.
Never compare Jannah and
this world. You can't compare.
Allahu Akbar.
Everything will go according to your liking.
Why? Because Allah wants you to be happy.
Because you have been pleasing Allah when you
are alive.
You try your best to do what He
wants you to do,
then now
is His time to reward you.
Allahu akbar.
And then
said,
It's a very authentic hadith:
Allah swears
with His izzah.
He said,
the mouth,
yeah, the smell of the mouth of a
person who is fasting is so fragrant,
more fragrant than the smell of mist.
When we are fasting, Sister,
if you stand very close and you start
to talk to each other,
how do you smell?
Do you smell good?
You can try tomorrow.
Husband and wife, friend, you stand closely,
you talk for 2, 3 minutes,
you know a kind of smell will appear.
It don't it don't smell good actually.
But Allah said,
yeah,
the smell of the mouth who is fasting
is so
fragrant.
Why? Because a person who fasts,
he never use his
mouth to speak anything that is displeasing Allah.
To the extent the prophet
If a person who fasts, he just
stopped eating and drinking but his mouth,
the swearing, the lying,
the gossiping,
backbiting,
slandering,
just go on like normal.
The prophet said, Allah has no
Hajj.
He doesn't value your fast. Your fasting has
no value,
and you will just feel
hungry and thirsty. That's all.
So
the prophet of the prophet of the
Lord then remind his Ummah,
remembered
the fasting month
every night,
and while you are fasting,
sahur time
before you break your fast, don't forget
to call upon Allah.
And He said,
number 1.
Whoever
enrobes me
and demand anything from me,
I will respond to his
invocation,
number 1.
Manjasaluni
for oktia.
And
whoever asks me for anything,
I may grant him his request.
Number 3,
man yas takfiruni
fa'akhfirullah,
and whoever asks me to forgive him
or her,
I will forgive him and her.
So please don't
take the fasting man rightly.
It's a man
of mercy,
rahma,
man of blessing,
man that Allah just
love
to forgive us.
Keep on asking.
May Allah accept our prayer,
may Allah forgive all of us,
Give us the strength, the help.
Give us the wealth
so that we can do more for the
sake of
Allah
before it's too late.
And the prophet did remind us
in the day of judgement
we will say, Mali,
Mali, my money, my money, my wealth, my
wealth, where's my saving, where's my saving,
where's my property?
Then the prophet
said, nothing actually belonged to you
except
the money that you have buy food
or buy drink and you have eaten it,
that is yours.
You buy some garment,
you wear it and tear,
you wear and tear, that is yours,
And whatever you give now, you invest now.
Like the donation drive that we are sharing,
after this, sister, please I do not know
whether you have visit the red banner outside
or not.
Just have a look what is this.
There's a lot of numbering outside just outside
this hall.
Because your sister come from the other angle,
brother from here, you may miss
this information. You just go out
after this. Don't go out straight, go to
the left
over here and have a look, and the
wall
is just behind this wall,
Yeah, have a look
and look at the numbering.
Why? Because the prophet said,
whatever you give now,
that is yours.
Whatever you keep is not yes. You are
just a keeper.
You may die anytime.
So what happens when we die?
The first thing people will wash your body,
everything taken out.
Your ring, your necklace, everything, your watch, everything,
they have to take it out,
Left nothing.
Like how you were born,
nothing.
And with 2 pieces of cloth,
or maybe just since they have 4 pieces,
it wraps you
and down you go.
Whatever you left, now
the one who is leaving
is going to fight for it.
It's mine, my share, my share, my share.
And you can see a lot of Muslims
until today failed to settle this problem.
Greediness.
You feel that it's not your right to
control.
It's a family right.
If you don't want to give it now,
you have sentimental
value,
example, a house. How much this house will
cost the value of the house,
half a million.
No no no we don't sell it now.
I think we can get a better price,
1,000,000.
You want you give a time frame, all
the family sit down,
are you agreed that we will try to
settle this in half a year?
Give a deadline.
If not,
then we are ready to sell.
How much you can get in the market?
We have to sell. Oh no no no.
I want more, okay?
You want more. Now you look at the
market price. I want to give you some
idea,
some way that Allah and the Prophet want
you to do anything good. Be hasten, don't
delay, until the person have right. Now he
die again.
You cannot do this.
If you feel that you want to keep
the property, fair enough. Now check the market.
Confirm. Now it's 800,000.
How many siblings?
What is your share?
I give it to you now. I will
keep this property. When it go out, I
will sell. That is my profit.
You can do that. No problem.
But you have no right
to delay the right
of the other sibling. No right at all.
This is just a way out. Islam is
very simple.
Don't think that
money is everything.
Richness is because
it's not because of you have a lot
of property you are rich. No.
The real original
is when you are contented
with what you have.
Whatever you have, you are contented.
You are very rich.
So please remember,
this is
the man that Allah wants us
to get
more and more reward,
and may Allah reward all of us kindly
by we having the intention. I am going
to do more.
I'm going to out
here I want to check
the numbers,
then I'm going to make sure that I
am
in
this
project, inshallah.
Until we see you tomorrow night, have a
good suhoor,
rest well,
don't forget to read the Quran,
Okay.
A lot of people are not sure, can
I do more and more prayers?
Read the Quran.
Your prayers have end.
After we tear is the closing
prayer
for the day.
So just open the Quran and read and
reflect,
and may Allah
give us more peace,
and
may Allah
grant us success.
