Yes. Sickness,
sometimes, if you are red blood,
accept it,
It's a cleansing,
cleansing
upon all our minor sins.
Don't worry.
Just
firstly you must accept what is been ordained
by Allah.
And rebar.
If you don't
rebar, then you don't get that blessing.
Brothers and sisters,
it is so important for us
to make sure we have
the right intention in whatever we do
because that is how Allah value
all our deeds.
Even people who are worshiping
Allah like every night we are praying,
You must make sure your intention
is purely for Allah,
because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is
talking to us.
Number 1 Allah said, akimis salah, basically
I want you to establish your prayer
so that you keep on remembering me,
Meaning when you're worshiping Allah you remember him.
That's how you gain kushua.
To remember Allah
you must have direct knowledge,
and that's why the prayer that we have
shared with you, I don't know,
last night or few nights before,
Humble yourself.
You're worshiping Allah, yes,
but you must humble and keep on asking
Allah. Oh, Allah help me to remember you
as a creator
in the best manner.
Ammonao is telling us in Surat Anissa verse
142,
What is the
Let us look into this ayah and reflect
whether we are in this ayah or not.
And when we were commanded
to establish
our prayer alhamdulillah,
we
start
to stand up and perform our prayer,
but the way we perform like we are
forced to do it.
We perform a prayer in a very lazy
manner
as long as I pray.
Kusala.
You're not committed, you don't feel
anything.
It's just what can I do? My papa
called me, my mama called me, they drag
me here,
so I just have to pray.
If you give me a choice, I will
play.
Let my papa, my mama pray, I will
play.
They will stand and perform the prayer,
but they never remember Allah except very little,
is to show to the people that I'm
praying,
I am fasting,
but not following all the SOP.
The prophet now is telling us
the danger of our intention,
and one day the prophet said, you ayo
hamas,
oh people,
Stay away, be careful.
Of the minor
hidden shirk,
minor
and hidden
shirk.
Can you imagine?
There's so many people today who are committing
shirk every day,
And we don't realize that is the worst
one.
For those who don't believe in Allah, they
don't worship, although they worship idols,
you know
they have committed shirk.
And they know they are committed shirk.
But here
is the people who are worshiping Allah still
commit shirk.
And that's why in Surakafi,
Allah
Whoever have the intention to return back to
Allah when Allah is so pleased with you,
why we are fasting, why we are praying
because we don't get close to Allah.
We want to please Allah.
Why must we please him?
We have to ask ourselves.
Because he is the creator.
He is the provider. He give us every
single thing that we have in ourselves,
Our eye that can see, our ear that
can hear,
all the feeling that we can feel for
is a gift from Allah.
Should you be thankful? Should we be thankful
brother and sister? Yes. Yes.
When you are given the chance to fast
in Ramadan, are you happy?
Yes. Yes.
We just kind of wait to have Ramadan.
And then you're given the chance to accumulate.
Are you happy?
Yes.
Jum'at only once in a week
cliam
in Ramadan every
night.
It
make me very happy to see all the
faces.
There are
people who are
our veteran Jema'ah,
people who are new,
Now remember,
prophet Muhammad was
sent by Allah are very very
concerned about our intention.
He keep on reminding us that the first
hadith in Sahib al Bukhari is about your
intention,
And the prophet said again,
based on the aya,
which Allah
say,
I am
Allah,
your creator
who do not need anything
beside me.
I don't depend on anyone
because I am Allah, the creator.
Whoever
make an ummah. Not say who are not
practicing,
who are practicing.
Allah and the prophet is telling us those
who are doing something
that allow want you to do like praying,
fasting,
but remember
while you are doing all this ritual
don't make shirk.
How can we fast and we commit shirk?
We pray, we commit shirk, no.
Because if whoever
commits shirk while doing all this ritual,
I will not accept
and the day of judgment
I will call him, command him, go to
that person that you are doing this for
to show him
to please that person call him to reward
you. I have nothing to do with you.
See
how important
for us to be careful of our
intention.
A lot of people who are fasting,
we have an experience today with a not
yet Muslim.
They were very confused, they said,
when Ramadan come in most of their staff,
no,
are very lazy.
When they go to the shop and just
have somebody is resting,
somebody is lying down sleeping
on the sofa,
they are not productive.
So they are confused. The reason they give,
I'm fasting.
So because fasting
I cannot do extra work, you know, I
must rest more,
I must sleep more,
I do something then I sleep.
I do something then I lie down.
It make this not yet Muslim very what
to say to them
because they give good excuse fasting,
you know what I'm not eating I'm not
Also they say I want to go home
early, okay?
I said no problem.
I said it's okay if they want to
live early
but you must know fasting man is a
man of jihad.
You have no lunch,
no drinks, no snack, what?
Focus,
use the time that you normally have a
break to do more.
Prove to them that we Muslim who fast
we are not lazy, we are not weak,
we are stronger.
We are more productive in Ramadan
than outside Ramadan. Because outside Ramadan,
you know,
eating take how many hours?
One and a half hour.
You eat,
you drink,
you don't do a lot of things actually.
So we are trying to show,
how,
yeah,
productive Islam is. How beautiful
Islam.
Islam is not here
to bring or make
everybody lazy and be a burden to other
people, but you must always
be beneficial to one another.
An mo' min man fa'atun.
A believer always bring benefit wherever you go,
whatever you do people are so happy with
you because you are committed to your job.
Whatever assignment given to you, you fulfill
the assignment
with
flying colors. That should be the spirit.
So whoever still
in the manoram, whoever used to do exercise,
continue your exercise.
Don't say Ramadan no exercise?
No. No no problem. Only you may cut
down the hour
because you don't eat, you don't drink, but
this not yet mostly a bit confused.
No food okay, but no water.
No water, I I I'm not ready.
They don't understand.
There is always water.
You know the aya that the imam were
reciting in the weekly prayer about afala yanzurunah
ilalibibileqaifa,
holy God.
Don't you look? Do you see how Allah
created the camel?
Okay. Have you seen camel, brother and sister?
Yes.
Have you ride on the camel?
Not all of us.
Have you eat camel
meat? Some of us.
If you eat camel meat, what happen to
you?
What happen?
You have to renew your voodoo.
This is the only meat that the proverb
said, whoever eat camel meat,
renew your wudu.
How about drink camel milk?
You have to renew your voodoo?
No. No. When the prophet said camel milk,
then he focused on meat.
You want to drink the milk? Bismillah.
Now I want to end tonight, why, with
something
I feel very important.
Allah promised all of us,
who is a believer,
we all will be a very successful
person.
Allah said in Surah Al Mu'min.
Then Allah
continue,
Who is a believer? Now Allah is telling
us, you make shahannada, you become a Muslim,
you become a believer.
Immediately after that Allah want you to worship
him,
and Allah do not just want you to
pray for the sake of
prayer. When you pray,
you must pray with Khusho.
Khusho only come in you have knowledge. You
know what is the rukun. You know what
is wajib. You know what is sunnah, you
know what is turtib, you know what is
tumadinah.
As
a person who perform prayer by himself.
And then when you are performing Jannah prayer,
you must know the extra adapt
because the prophet said, Inama ju ilal imam
liuktamay. Imam was made for you to follow,
to complete the prayer.
Don't
make any takbir yet.
Until imam has
finished his takbir. If imam say, Allah, you
don't say Allah. No.
Hold on. Patient.
Wait until he end Allah
Bara and you
start.
That's how you follow.
When ima Allah, you also say Allah, you
are not following, you are
raising after the imam.
Prophet command
don't bend down
to ruku until
imam have finished his movement of ruku. How
can you know?
You can see the imam.
You use your
hearing
and you must have patience.
Hold on.
Imam said Allah,
let him continue until he end Allahu Akbar.
Hu Akbar means imam have ended his movement
for ruku.
Then you start, Allah.
When the imam will stand up, Samiye alone,
holy man Hamida,
Don't move yet.
When imam Sami alaikul,
you come up. No no no no. In
the state of Ruqo,
until the imam ended his recitation,
Sami
Allahuhi Man Hamid.
Then
you
And before the, we also the.
You're not supposed to do that.
It's a sajada.
In imam Goda, al Bara'a ibn Azef, the
companion of the pot.
Make it very clear, we
the companion when we perform prayer behind the
prophet, none of us move from one movement
to the next until we are sure
the prophet have perfected, have completed his movement.
Allahu Akbar Adah.
When the imam said,
when
do we say Amin?
When imam starts first.
Sometimes we have some
struggle, maybe last night, imam a bit slow.
There's nothing wrong for the imam to be
slow,
then we must be slower.
That's all.
If the imam's slow, you don't rush
because the prophet forbid you.
Nobody associate Amin before the imam.
When the imam have the right understanding to
help the makmon,
after
Dali Amin, good,
because makmon very impatient.
Mammon just want Amin kalas,
but you must have that passion.
You cannot
say amen before the imam.
That's how you follow the imam.
The prophet reminded his ummah, never
never be ahead of me.
And sometimes the imam recitation
end but his movement
never end yet.
So we hope even the imam must have
the right knowledge,
he must make sure that
his recitation,
Allahu Akbar
and his movement end together.
Then he saved the makmung
from moving ahead of him
or moving together with the imam.
Few other thing I like to inform all
of you.
Today is jum'ah.
Of course the lady don't go for jum'ah.
Men will go for Jum'ah.
When you enter a mosque even when you
are late,
imam is giving kutba. What should you do?
Normally you sit,
don't do that.
Because it happened in the time of the
prophet, a latecomer came in, the prophet was
giving khutba,
and he said the prophet
immediately talked to him.
Imam can talk to the mumu, mumu can
respond to the imam, mumu and mumu cannot.
When Mahmoo and Mahmoo talk,
Gone,
your Jum'ah.
But imam can talk and the mum can
respond.
So the prophet asked him,
have you performed your prayer? He said,
no,
Stand up now.
Pray Turka.
Then the prophecy is,
Anyone enter mosque,
and if you want to sit you must
do raka'atahir
al Masjid.
Don't forget.
For Jumu'at Tahiyat al Masjid,
because you arrive early,
after that Imam
Azan is not on yet, he want to
pray 2,
2, another 2 until Khutba
carry on, unlimited.
But there is no sunnah, purposely you wait
for the azan to azan,
then you stand up like Kabriya Zohar. No.
That sunnah was not
a sunnah.
That sunnah is not a sunnah.
Yeah. Because we know in the time of
the prophet there's only one azan.
In the time of Zuhr in,
imam was just coming,
step on the member,
then
Azanstan.
Only one Azan.
Now if you are praying sunnah, brothers,
especially those who are in the mosque,
a comma is on. You are praying sunnah,
just start Allah, what word, then they start
to make a comma.
What should we do?
You must stop your prayer
because the prophet said,
When the ikhamat is on and you are
still praying sunnah, stop your prayer
and join the jum'ah.
We understand now today, insha'Allah.
And when you pray jum'ah, please
make sure your salaf is always good.
Now I want to end tonight
with 1
hadith of the prophet,
Solemn As Salaam. Majority of my jama'a have
memorized,
And majority
who attend my classes also should have memorized.
But sometimes when you stay
apart from us for a long time, you
may forget again.
Now let us recall, I just want to
choose
a very simple,
very easy hadith
that everybody can memorize it.
You want 1 hadith or 2 hadith? 2.
1. Oh, so
that that boy said 2.
Normally this is our,
yeah, signature,
the
11. But you come 2 when he asked
for 2.
Now
just follow me, simple as that.
Again?
Again.
All of us have memorized it.
Prophet is reminding his ummah about who we
are. This ummah of Prophet Muhammad
will not do, say anything that caused harm
to himself
or herself and will not do or say
anything cause harm to other people.
It will bring peace wherever you go.
Take care of yourself, take care of others.
Be kind to yourself, be kind to others.
That's how you move on. La, dororo,
voila, dororo.
Is that too easy?
You want the second one?
Okay. Tomorrow, second one.
Yeah?
But please, I want you to memorize this
and then share with your family.
You say lado doro means when you want
to say something, think,
is this word that I'm going to utter
bring benefit or will hurt the person?
Yeah, then you don't say.
Choose your word.
Anything you want to do,
check.
Be careful of your word and your action.
You don't want anything bad to happen to
you, don't do anything bad for other people,
Simple as that.
Because
you are very patient you only want one
hadith, so I I also have to have
more patience not to share with you the
second hadith
until tomorrow night, inshallah.
So enjoy,
yeah,
night tonight, and don't forget for your sahur,
don't forget to recite the Quran.
Okay?
Keep on,
recite
and ask Allah
to give you the inner peace
because the Quran
brings a lot of peace.
Yeah. By remembering Allah reciting the Quran,
your heart will rest.
You will have a lot of peace.
If those who still feel
they don't have peace, please see us.
We want to understand
what is the issue that you're facing
where Allah has said,
meaning. Quran was revealed as a healer
and it brings a lot of
mercy,
rahma,
to those who are
reciting the Quran.
May Allah accept our siam and our pliam.
