All
praises due to Allah
subhanahu
wa ta'ala as the creator of all things,
the sender of all prophet, and the revealer
of all
holy scripture.
May the blessing and the mercy of Allah
be upon all of us as seekers of
knowledge,
people who love the sunnah of the Prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam
and who always stay in the Jama'ah.
We know, brothers and sisters, for those
who are having a reunion tonight,
for the Jama'a
who have performed Hajj with us.
Welcome back.
We know everybody is busy
with their own
activities,
we know everybody
have a lot of commitments
but
we always pray
for the jamaa
to stay strong,
to stay united
because we do not want to be a
jumma only here,
only when we are performing umra or Hajj,
but we want to stay as a jama'ah
until we meet Allah.
Prophet Muhammad salamu alayhis salam reminds his ummah
jamaarrahma
how beautiful
if we stay in Ajamu'ah, there's a lot
of Rahma,
there are a lot of blessing.
Especially in Ramadan,
we are able
to attend kriyamur Ramadan.
The reason
we love the jama'ah to be back in
Ramadan
is to strengthen the adap,
their quality of prayer.
One of the few thing I like to
share with all the good brothers and sisters,
it's very important for us to always be
ready to revisit
to revisit again because
one of the wasi of the prophet, someone
must be before he passed away,
after he have taught his Ummah how to
pray,
how to make umrah, how to make Hajj,
how to fast, everything,
then
Ali
said,
akhir was yet nabihiya salaha.
The last reminder
of our prophet sallallahu alaihi wasalam
to his ummah
also is
about salaha.
Why is salah is so important? We know
there's what people always say,
assala imaduddin
is a pillar of the religion.
This is the only ritual that you do
every day.
The only ritual.
The only pillar of Islam
that require your commitment
every day.
Fasting only once
in a year, 1 month,
zakat only once you pay in a year,
has once in your lifetime,
but prayer is
a daily
obligation
and why prayer is known as imanud din
means the pillar of the religion
because when you pray,
you will recite Shahada again.
There is no prayer without Shahada
because you have to end with
tahiyat,
and each time when you recite at tahiyat,
you will say.
To strengthen your aqidah again,
to remind you about the Shahada,
and when we are praying brother and sister
just a humble reminder
the beauty of sunnah prayer
is
number 1
when the prophet performed the sunnah prayer he
never missed reciting
dua iftita
I want everybody to remember
not to forget this important
practice of our prophet the sunnah,
when he performed
any prayer sunnah
followed,
he never missed du'a iftita,
so please don't abandon du'a iftita,
if you don't want to recite the long
one
recite the minimum one,
the minimum
perfect
it's one full dua ifita,
you don't have to combine what jato is
not from the prophet,
it's not from 4 imams, even shafi'i
don't recite Allahu Akbar Kabir, he recite wajaktu
until the end.
So don't miss dua iftita.
Whoever said he loved the prophet
he will try his best to do what
the prophet want us to do, not what
you want to do.
Just an example.
And while when you see the qira'at we
have imam,
local imam, tonight we have
imam
from abroad.
Different people will have different qira'at.
We have young,
we have old imam, alhamdulillah,
because this is a place,
a platform we train all the brothers
who have been with us, who understand our
value.
It's very important whatever you do you don't
just do for the sake of doing it,
you must know your value,
and that is why
we reinforce
the 3 I.
I,
the first I, your intention,
must be very clear.
Everything you do
check your intention,
every
friendship that you build
check your intention,
Every donation that you get involved,
check your intention. The ayat that was recited
by the imam today
talk about people who do a lot of
charity
but
don't
follow-up the good deeds
with something
that is not good.
Talk about it.
You belittle other people because of that,
because it will wipe out the good deeds.
Don't do anything good with the intention to
show off because it will also
will be rejected by Allah.
We don't want
to waste
anything we do and we are not careful
with our intention.
And the second eye we focus on
foundation,
iman.
Take care of our iman
that's why when I talk about fasting the
prophet said,
man soma Ramadan
ima nan.
When start to clear, the prophet said, mankoma
Ramadan
ima nan.
When the last Sunday is coming soon,
mankoma
laila tulqadr
imanan.
The prophet never missed the word iman.
Why if you do anything
without iman?
We are worried
that whatever you do will not be accepted.
Because one of the ruku iman is
to believe in Allah. You do everything for
Him.
One of the ruku of iman is to
believe in all the prophet and messengers.
We
as the last ummah,
our prophet, his way, his sunnah
is the only way to Allah.
Don't ever think that you can go closer
to Allah, that your gift will be accepted
without following prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam.
That's why the prophet led us by saying,
man amila amalan laihi
amruna for who are wrought,
for who are wrought
whoever
do an act of worship that was not
taught by us.
You just want to do for the sake
of doing, you want to follow the people,
will it be rejected.
We don't want our good deeds to be
rejected.
We don't want our fasting to be rejected.
You don't want your sadaqah, your impact to
be rejected. None of us want that to
happen.
So you look into your intention and iman,
and Allah is telling us
the people who have the right intention and
right iman
will move to the 3rd eye.
From the first
eye intention,
second eye your iman, now you move to
the 3rd eye.
What is the 3rd eye?
Brother and sisters, what is the 3rd eye?
Not evil eye,
A very important eye,
which Allah said, he will promise you
If you have the 3rd eye, Allahu Akbar,
you will find peace,
And the 3rd eye
is nothing, then
stay
is the comma.
Your prayer must be is the comma.
Allah
When you say you have iman,
you do not want to have the iman
now, later on,
we don't know what's gonna happen to you.
A lot of people,
at one time the iman seems to be
strong,
stay strong in the jama'ah,
their prayer Allahu Akbar,
after some time
you don't see them anymore
and it's a big surprise
they don't even pray anymore.
There's no extra karma.
When you have the 3rd eye, what did
Allah promise us?
That is why we want everybody to stay
strong,
to be together.
What you have that is the karma, consistency.
Allah said, I will send
angels down
to each one of you who have this
quality.
To do what?
Alata kafuwalata
zen.
You find peace to yourself.
You may have a lot of problem, no
more big problem.
Problem is part of life,
up and down, normal.
Everything you are ready because
the angel is there
to help you.
What did Allah say?
First, you don't have the
fear anymore.
You don't fear anyone except Allah.
Allah said, fear
no one else except me.
Because of fear we cannot move forward.
Because of fear, we abandon the sunnah, because
we want to please the people, because we
are
not here to please Allah. What the people
want you to do? Okay. What Allah and
the prophet
wait wait wait. Why you wait?
We are from Allah,
we are going back to Allah, and
to be successful you follow the way of
prophet Muhammad. Why do you want to wait?
To follow the Quran and sunnah. Nothing to
wait, you are just ready.
One that is
what Allah wants you to do the prophet
say is that you are ready samik nawatul,
move forward.
So when you pray like over here we
make the qiyam,
why we choose
batiha, we recite aya wah aya,
because Allah said in the Quran, I divide
aloofatir in 2 parts, one for me and
one for my
servant,
wali
abhimasaa'a.
Every ayah you recite,
you pause, Allah respond. You pause, Allah respond.
You don't know Allah respond, you just do
what you want to do.
How will you feel, brother and sister, when
you pray with knowledge
following the sunnah
and you know you say this, our respondent.
How do you feel?
How do you feel, brain seer? You feel
good?
Long akbar.
You feel connected.
Anything you do with knowledge guided by the
Quran Sunnah,
you are satisfied,
you're happy with it because you have done
your best
and that's why we do we'll call you
again and remind you again, we pray jumma'a,
don't rush,
You want extra
reward,
you just have to have some extra patience,
hold on.
If you still say Amin before imam then
you know you have problem,
but don't blame Shaitan, Shaitan is chained,
He is in prison now.
You have to blame yourself, you yourself
are representing
a proxy
to the shaitan now.
We don't want to be his agent,
yeah,
And it's very important. What did Allah say?
Allah will call the angel
to share with them
with good news,
talk to them, whisper to them. Allah is
preparing for all of us who have istiqama
in our iman.
Jannah.
Are
we worried
when we are going to Jannah, brother and
sister?
Anybody
worry if you go to Jannah?
Why
Jannah,
you
know, not not best,
Jannah, you know,
I think I also want to try nard
sometime.
Do you think you want to have that?
Anyone cross your mind, I think I want
to try nara, if everybody go to jhana
there'll be a long queue, how about
a nara?
You want to try?
No, please.
Don't ever think of that.
And Allah promised us,
Ramadan,
this man, Allahu Akbar, he is ready
to free us from
hellfire.
You just have to
do what he want you to do.
You want your prayer to be answered
whatever Allah want us to do the minimum,
just do
it. Don't allow anything to stop you from
doing
your response with the minimum response. Why I
say minimum brother and sister?
Because it happened in the time of the
prophet,
one of the companions of the prophet, a
very straightforward man, he just asked the prophet
straight to the point,
I will make shahada,
I pray only Fardu,
I will only fast Ramadan, I go to
Hajj one time, no more Umrah, no more
Hajj,
and then I give zakat no sadaqah, and
then I do the minimum.
Can I go to paradise?
You see he want to do the minimum,
but he want to go to Jannah.
I think all of us are doing more
than him
and it happened in the time of the
prophet,
not just you or me.
The companion asked the prophet and the prophet
said to him what?
Nam.
Yes.
Allahu Akbar.
But make sure you do everything
with the right SOP.
Because there are prayers that Allah accept, there
are prayers that Allah reject. There are prayers,
sadaqah that Allah accept, there are sadaqa that
Allah reject. There are fasting that Allah
will not accept.
If you just abstain from food and drink,
you carry on all the other nonsense, gossiping,
slandering,
lying, Allah doesn't accept.
Allah has no
no.
He will not accept because you just abandoned
food and drink, no. He wants you to
change.
Lastly, brothers and sisters, we know everybody is
busy, weekend there are more people, alhamdulillah,
but alhamdulillah,
with the blessing of Ramadan,
every night we have this crowd.
Alhamdulillah.
Have you been asking Allah for a lot
of things, brother and sister?
Have you been asking,
what do you ask you like to share?
Private,
personal personal.
Never mind.
But please,
you know each time when you perform
your prayer whether fardu or sunnah,
the prophet do not like you to end
your prayer
without making this duas.
There are many
another
Many du'a to recite.
But one dua under the prophets command you
to resign.
I believe all of us have memorized this.
I will start.
Please continue.
Yeah.
Ready?
Okay,
this du'a, the prophet said,
after you make the shahood
and end the salawat,
then the prophet said, Farajasta
is billah min arba,
seek
Allah's protection from 4 things, then he started
to say, Allahumma
inni
aaamdubikaamin
azaabijaanam
mamatiwamin
fitnatil
dajjal.
Don't forget this dua.
I believe all of us who have said
we are following the prophet, you have memorized
it,
but if you forget,
you know why
we keep on forgetting?
The sunnah of the prophet,
the command of the prophet. The sunnah of
the prophet is divided into 3, kawlihi,
fialihi,
wadakrir.
Remember that.
We want every water that enter our body
is being blessed,
You don't use your right hand, no blessing,
only water go in.
Water will go in, water will go out,
call us.
But you want
that everything that you do
Allah accept as an act of ibadah.
What is the dua that the prophet command
you to recite?
Oh
Allah,
I seek refuge in you from the
thawman of hellfire.
Ask on more.
And also from the thawman of the grave,
You are going to have
q and a in the grave.
Get ready.
There is a saying I used to say,
if you want to sit for an exam
ask the children who are sitting for an
exam
kaloso anansudha bochor bodhijawabda.
So it's easy for you to answer
if the question
that they want to test you in exam
have been
leaked.
Everybody knows kalas,
alhamdulillah.
The prophet have told us what is going
to happen in our grave,
and ask our mouth to protect you.
That's why du'a that the prophets
recommend us to read, say every morning evening,
rodi to billahi
raba,
second
3rd,
Allah is going to ask you that, so
simple,
if that also you fail,
Don't talk about mathematics,
geography,
history, GONE case. That one,
Alon never never asked you.
Number 1, he will never ask you. Don't
worry.
He will ask you about who is your
Lord.
What is your religion?
If that also you fear, who is this
man?
Is he your prophet?
If you fear,
You cannot say to her, please send me
back, send me back again, I will learn
and I'll come back again, no no no.
When you go there it's a one way
ticket,
Yeah. No more coming back.
And we ask Allah, oh Allah,
protect us from the fitna.
You cannot escape from the fitna of this
life.
As long as you are living, the fitna
will be there.
So you must ask Allah.
When you ask Allah, Allah will show you
so you follow his way and stay away
what he want you to stay
away. In sha Allah
you will be protected from the fitna. Sometimes
you are so powerful people they're not say
anything against you when you are alive, but
once you die a color.
Everything will be exposed,
and your family
have to handle that.
They have to bear all this nonsense
that you have
involved in.
Oh this father
now also will I think Shaitan can activate
the idea.
His father his father is the 2020
Phunya Pharaon.
Now people will create all the only
when you
are no more here.
Bomin fitna thalmasihid
dajjal,
and the greatest
fitna if we are alive
when dajjal appear.
That's why the prophet said,
no prophet
that never warned their followers
about the
the child.
Very dangerous.
Twist and turn.
One homework that I'm gonna end and I
need you to find the answer
and let me know in the coming night,
if you want exercise.
Allah Subhana who love us so much keep
on reminding us about
who is your
enemy.
You have
enemy
1, 2, 3, so many classes,
but the number one
enemy.
But before that
let us recite the hadith of the process.
All of you have memorized that?
Okay,
memorized already?
Even anytime I see you anywhere I ask
you you know how to respond,
alhamdulillah.
You want one more hadith? Yes.
Good.
Islam.
Tarukuhu
malaya
nihi.
Start.
A bit slower.
Never mind
exercise, do it.
Those who are not,
who don't memorize, say ask those who have
memorized
and write it down or you have your
hand phone,
call them to recite, you record, David,
then you listen I believe inshallah,
I want a minimum all our jama'ah here
memorize
5 sayings of the prophet
that sure to benefit you for life.
Short
but very solid.
Okay.
Okay, brothers and sisters,
am I burdening all of you?
No.
Alhamdulillah.
So that when you talk to people,
Why? Because when you do sola
you want
the sola that you perform is kusho,
because
amor only accept sola that you perform with
kushok.
You want to know whether you have
kusho, a person who have kusho, when you
gain kusho
then you stay away from anything that is
not benefiting
benefiting you,
inshallah.
Now
what is that?
Record,
take a snap.
Yeah. Now, inshaAllah,
you are ready.
Yeah. When this is off, you are on.
You know. We'd like to
thank the brother who donate this,
it can help us a lot, insha'Allah.
Now lastly,
homework.
Remember,
you have 2 type of enemy.
The in and the out.
I want you to recognize
your enemy, like how you memorize these three
letters,
a b c.
What is
a, b, c?
You share with me tomorrow.
We will end our taskeeratana.
Subhanahu
wa
bihamdikah.
