Assalamu alaikum. Alhamdulillah to all the brothers and
sisters.
Some good news that our brother Suleyman is,
alhamdulillah, safe and he's resting now.
Yeah.
And, we have our
brother Abdul Aziz also,
alhamdulillah,
seems to be better
compared with last night. Yeah.
It is very important for all of us
to make sure that
this Ramadan
really
benefit all of us.
This Ramadan
give us the opportunity
or the opportunity
to be a better person,
So that we are not out of we
are out from the prayer of Gabriel.
Because Gabriel did make dua
whoever
enter the month of Ramadan,
and
nothing
benefit him or her,
and his or her sin is not been
forgiven.
If that is how
our Ramadan
is,
then Angel Gabriel Miduah,
oh Allah,
don't allow this person to enter paradise.
Chief of the Angel made a dua and
the bears of humanity
make Amin our Prophet
We were talking about dua
yes, last night.
We are going to continue a bit about
the power of dua.
Allah said, would the only
astajibulak
call upon me.
I'm going to respond to your call. Just
invoke me.
I will respond.
But then Allah continued,
like what he said to the prophet,
If anyone
among my slaves, Asiye or Muhammad,
where is Allah?
How far is Allah with us?
Said to them, I am very very close.
I always respond
to the call
of anybody who call upon me, who make
dua.
But he put
2 conditions.
Condition number 1. There's 2
conditions.
You ask.
Allah wants you to ask,
but He reminds us whatever I want you
to do, the minimum,
not the maximum yeah,
the minimum that I want you to do,
you respond to that first.
After you have responded to that,
you must have the faith,
you must
be sure that Allah
will respond to your prayers. Allah loves us
to have yakin,
not to have doubts with Him.
Now
look at this handiest that I'd like to
share with all of you from Bukhari and
Muslim.
It started by saying
kolayakulu,
kolayakulu, kolayakulu, kolayakulu,
kolayakulu, kot down,
The dua, the supplication
of any one of us continue to be
granted
as long as he or she does not
suffocate for any sinful matter
or something that will cut off the ties
of kinship.
That one you cannot.
And he does not grow impatient.
I will continue this and I'll give you
some example.
It was said
to our prophet,
some companions said to the prophet,
oh, Allah's Messenger,
What does
growing impatient mean? 1, what do we mean
by impatient in dua?
When you ask Allah,
normally we do have patience, but what
is the saying of the prophet about
impatient?
So the prophet respond.
It is one saying, I
supplicated
again and again.
I have been asking Allah,
not one, not twice,
many many time.
But now I do not think that my
prayer will be answered.
Now you're having doubts,
then he becomes frustrated.
Yeah. Normally, being human,
we get upset.
Ask ask ask no response.
So
That is my expression. Yeah.
He become frustrated
and gives up
supplication
altogether.
No nila.
Allah subhanahu
wa
ta'ala have informed all of us
in Surat Zumaro
versus 53,
Allah command our prophet
to inform his ummah
who loved to make du'a.
O my servant,
the prophet have to convey what Allah
said to him.
You have wronged yourself
who are committing sin day 1, day 2,
even in Ramadan,
the sin still goes on. Nothing
changed. Who have been asking Allah for guidance,
still you don't want to follow the guidance
and nothing changed. Are you serious? No, don't
worry. Oh, you are just playing with God.
That's why they say the Malay said, takakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkakkin.
Is that what we want?
Those who don't understand this saying can ask
your fellow brothers and sisters,
the Malaysian, what is the meaning of taqakta
sabrati
bikin.
Allah
said, say to the my servant,
my ab
who have
seen themselves, who have been so wrong to
themselves,
leataknato
minrahmatilla,
Never never give up hope
when Allah is concerned. Don't do that.
Allah is ready to forgive all your sin.
As long as you want to repent.
As long as you want
to change.
Indeed He, Allah Wafoor Rahim.
But one very important thing I'd like to
end tonight.
You know the prophet did mention the du'a
of a traveler
is very powerful,
very close to Allah,
especially if you are in the month of
Ramadan,
plus you are traveling a lot more
Because it's not easy
to travel in the month of Ramadan
to the extent that Allah
said those travelers, break your fast.
Because Allah knows it is not easy.
Time is different,
you know.
Weather is going to be different.
So the du'a of a tragedy normally
is very powerful. Allah does not reject.
So the Prophet Sun Quan mentioned a person
who is traveling,
his hair
is covered with dust. You cannot organize yourself
because you're traveling
with the dust, with the weather, so you
don't look very fresh.
He normally lift up his hand to the
sky.
Of course, when you make du'am, brother and
sister,
they adopt
go this direction.
Don't go this direction.
We also don't know some people up and
then down why they do that.
They thought that they can just,
yeah,
defend themselves from all that bad thing by
pushing their hand downward.
No. No. No. All upward.
The one that is going to protect you
is not your hand, it's Allah.
Nobody can push away
whatever thing that is gonna come with your
hand,
except think that you can.
People when you corrupt you, push your hand
down,
but know you push your hand up.
People won't do anything around with you.
You
respond.
So this man,
a traveler,
when he prayed, he said, you rob
You rob.
He asked Allah this and that
for himself as a traveler,
but his prayer would not be respond.
He got confused because the prophet said the
prayer of a traveler is powerful, Allah will
not reject.
So he keep on asking,
but he don't see any response from Allah.
So he's very confused.
He met up with the prophet. He asked
the prophet,
why? The saying the prophet is true. It
should happen,
but
when he was doing his du'a, he didn't
feel anything at all.
Then the prophet said,
this is very important,
how can a person when he raise up
his hand up to the sky, you rob
you rob you're asking for Allah, then
Now the prophet is responding.
How can
when a person
raise up his hand up to the sky,
ask Allah for
something that is good, of course we normally
ask, oh, what is good,
but his foot is haram.
His dream is haram.
His dress is haram. Now this Arab
get more confused.
He said, hey, Arab, so
I'm eating halal halal food.
I don't drink liquor,
I drink all halal drink.
If you're in
Saudi, maybe you always drink zam zam.
Zam zam is the most,
yeah,
water that bring a lot of benefit.
And my dress is haram.
No, I dress like you, Yaraslalajupa.
I dress like an Arab.
What do you mean by my food is
haram, my drink is haram, my dressing is
haram?
Then how can Allah respond
to your prayer because,
Allah is good, He will never accept anything,
except everything that you do must come from
good sources.
What the prophet now is trying,
I'm not talking about
you eating haram food. The income,
the money that you use to buy the
halal food is from a haram sauce.
Normally,
those who are very active in business,
Do you experience some halal and haram money?
Do you experience that or not?
No. Good and alhamdulillah.
Those who have authority,
are you sure that your income is halal?
When people ask for this, ask for that,
do you make it easy
or you make it difficult
until something happen? It can be easy.
You understand my language
because we are Malaysian.
Is that
halal?
Do you know something?
Sometimes
I was very upset.
I am one of the advisors of the
World Halal Council
for more than 10 years until today.
People we are not aware but alhamdulillah, I
like to be
what I am.
And people is complaining to me, you want
to get halal logo,
is not easy
until you do something
non halal.
To get a halal logo,
you must do
a non halal activity.
We don't know why
why we make thing difficult.
Amal has informed us,
So you eat halal food, Kentucky,
halal or haram?
Brother and sister, Kentucky halal or haram?
I don't hear you.
Halal.
Don't say haram.
They can sue you in court.
Because they have a local halal, so big,
and you still say haram.
You must not have
doubt.
I don't know because I hardly eat this
food,
but we know everybody love,
all this food.
Fast and easy.
Of course.
But if you have haram money,
You bring halal haram money, you can buy
Kentucky.
This money is raswa,
corruption.
Now
Kentucky
become corrupted.
It become haram, because
you use haram income to buy.
You use riba money,
and you buy pizza. Pizza become pizza riba.
And you use other Haramani
or the gray area, you go and buy
jubah,
copia,
zajada.
Wow.
But all are not halal income. That is
what the prophet is trying to say,
why your prayer is not been answered,
because
you are not careful with your income.
So if anybody
still feels that there is some area
that
our income
is in that category.
See me other days,
and let us see how you can
purify
what
you still have
for the sake of Allah before
all our prayer will not be accepted.
Lastly,
the prophet is saying to us again.
The supplication
of a Muslim for another Muslim
Muslim in his or her absence will certainly
be answered.
Yeah.
Do you understand it?
A supplication
of a Muslim for another Muslim brother or
sister
in his or her absence
will certainly
be answered.
And the prophet continue,
every time he make a du'a for good
for his brother or sister, the angel
appointed for this particular
task say
amen.
Do you know that when you pray for
one another,
sincerely for the sake of Allah,
What the prophet is trying to
do, that means you are making a prayer
without that brother know that you are praying
for him,
without that sister know that you are praying
for her.
It's not that he asked
or she asked. You feel for them and
you pray for them.
Really come from the heart,
a sincere heart,
no hidden agenda,
Allahu Akbar.
The prophecy will not be rejected.
To the extent that the angel that is
appointed
by Allah
to bring up the prayer of any of
his servants,
he himself will say, Amin, and then he
will bring after Allah.
So please, when you feel for anybody,
pray for them.
You don't have to Brother, do you want
me to pray for you?
No need to ask. Of course you ask,
please pray for me. If anybody will call
me, do you want me Please pray for
me. Of course, I would love everybody to
pray for me.
Now if you can pray for me without
me asking
because you have that good feeling.
That's something that I train myself when I
travel, especially
wherever I
am, how do I make my prayer? I
can't remember everybody's name.
I said, Oh, Allah, you know
my Jama'a who has been here
since the day we established
this organization,
bless them, oh wow.
Those who have passed away,
reward them with all the good deeds that
they have done and make them among
the righteous people.
And sometimes I go further,
oh I'm
wrong. I normally have this class Wednesday class,
I have Saturday class, Sunday class, whoever
who participate,
please
keep themselves healthy,
protect them.
There's only thing I can do
if I go at least by names 1,
2, 3, 4.
Then my tower is only for other people.
What I'm doing, I say all of you
know better.
Their needs, I don't know,
but you know better, oh Allah.
I'm asking for the best. Make us together
here to the hereafter.
Reward them with all
the reward
that you have promised.
They have been kind to us.
Show mercy and kindness to them.
Insha'Allah, we hope all of us will have
this good feeling.
And may Allah accept
our prayer.
Lastly,
The prophet also warned,
The meaning of this
is a long hard disk and make it
easier for everybody to understand.
Do not invoke
curses on yourself.
Don't ask
anything
that is not good for yourself.
Or on your children,
don't ask anything bad for your children. Even
they are not
being kind to you, faithful to you, they
disobey,
they hurt you so much, don't ask.
Hold on.
Or on your possession, whatever
you are
taking care of,
that you should happen to do it at
the moment,
then the application
will be accepted.
And Allah,
let it happen.
You will regret
to death. I know sometimes being parent,
you have hard time with children.
Children are not grateful, not thankful.
You give everything to them,
and they cut you off.
They don't care about how you feel.
They have not been well. They don't even
call you.
They don't even want to visit you.
Have you come across children like that?
Not yet? Alhamdulillah.
But if you come across children like that,
don't pray
for their destruction.
May Allah forgive them,
guide them back,
make them realize
who they are.
Without us, they are not here.
Parents have gone through a lot of suffering
and pain.
Our duty is just to be humble.
Because if not, then in Jude Gabriel is
going to make dua again.
And he have made that du'a.
Remember the 3 du'a that Angel Gabriel made?
I end with the second one.
He said, oh Allah,
don't allow any children
who still have parents, elderly parents,
old parent,
sick parent,
but they are not dutiful to them. They
don't care about their parent.
They have no time for their parent don't
need a lot.
Give a call. How are you, mama?
How are you?
Can you give a call?
No, I have no time.
Whoever
are not dutiful to the parent when the
parents arrive,
What the angel say, oh Allah, don't allow
them to enter paradise.
Who am in this dua?
Prophet Muhammad,
sir, Muhammad.
May Allah protect
us and our children.
I think all of you have the answer
about your homework.
A and b,
c
and m
become awakened.
Another homework. Why
who is c and m become victim?
Insha'Allah.
