Male and a female
and we keep on asking Allah,
oh Allah,
if anytime
you know how long we are going to
live in this world,
make us live
like a Muslim.
We talk, we eat, we dress, we do
everything
in the way that please Allah.
If anytime
Allah is going to bring us back, only
He knows when
we see it, oh Allah,
make us die as a true believer.
We want to have a good ending.
We can be good now,
but we don't know our ending.
Who knows?
Allah.
Now this prayer,
we remember 1 hadith. If you check-in
Arba'ina Nawawi, the
our 40 hadith is collected by Imam Nawawi.
You'll come across this hadith, very
strange hadith,
that if a person is been ordained to
go to *,
who knows Oneya Allah?
He may be very good now,
very pious,
very active, pray, fast, give tzedakah here and
there,
But at the end of his life
he commit the opposite.
He just do the opposite.
He was going to die and that
time
he commit
everything
you just name, he
does it.
Then he will die
and
in the heart they
say, Allah
will send him to hellfire.
Someone
may be very bad now,
but somewhere only Allah knows in his or
her heart.
He do have that belief in Allah only
because of his weaknesses,
environment
not helping him.
The household is not helping. Parent don't set
good example,
friend bad environment.
So he was dragged into that environment.
But the latest part of his life,
something happened.
He completely changed.
He made tawba.
He asked Allah for forgiveness,
then he died.
Allah sent a message to his prophet
to say
he is the people of paradise.
No one
can judge a person
that easy.
We hope everybody would become better.
Allah
Who are the successful ones?
Those who keep themselves
pure
in a good environment.
Always stay connected to the Creator.
He create us, He is the only one
who can guide us. That was recited by
the imam to today.
He give us sickness
and only
he can cure you.
And many aya that
he remind us
tonight
from the Quran,
All prophet was sent to remind their people,
stay connected to Allah.
How how to have taqwa?
It's not difficult, brother and sister. Some of
us say, I think it's not easy. Who
said that it's not easy?
Allah said,
fataqallahuaapi
your own.
If you want to gain taqwa,
just
obey what Allah want you to do.
If you want to be a successful worker,
follow what your boss want you to do.
Is that easy?
Wherever you go, you just follow the rule.
That's all.
Wukhatqaba
bad nazseha.
Then Allah said,
because you are not careful, you are not
mindful,
then suddenly
you was a good person.
You were born pure, clean,
uncorrupted but later on you allowed yourself to
be corrupted.
You don't blame anybody.
You know that is wrong, but you allow
yourself to do
it. The prophet
said, every one of us is a leader
to yourself.
You cannot blame other. You will be responsible
to your own deeds.
What you do, you don't blame anyone.
The imam is responsible
to himself
and also to the Ma'mon example.
That's why imam also must be careful
to make sure that the Mahmu will not
make mistake.
Because of his calmness, Mahmud made a lot
of mistake,
he also would be responsible.
Ma'mon also have their own responsibility.
You must have some basic knowledge
to be a mom.
The same go to the imam.
He must also have the basic knowledge about
how to become a imam.
I think I've been mentioning this hadith many
many times,
but it's okay to revisit, nothing wrong.
You see we have been reciting fatiha
1,000 of them. Alhamdulillah, none of us get
boring
and no other Surah.
I want to change. You change.
Your prayer will not be valid. You must
recite because
this is the
But unique, nobody complain about fatiha.
Everybody love to recite alfatiha
to the extent
when there's no need to say also say
alfatiya.
In the beginning of any Madras, you don't
have to say al Fatiha.
None.
Even the Batuni san, you know, the Batuni
san, the
What you call Batuni san?
And?
Toms.
Toms.
When I visit
even in Hong Kong, in Macau, all these
countries, mostly minority,
first thing you will see on the tombstone,
alpha
And then the name of so and so,
the deceased.
Not every time you should say al Fatiha.
It's just like an example.
Every time when an imam recite, Al Fatiha
Alhamdul, we just have to listen.
What is the Quran,
When the Quran is being recited, Allah said,
your duty brothers and sister, Imam, just have
to listen.
You don't have to say anything, just listen.
Veng said listen means you must be silent.
No whispering, no recitation,
anything at all except listen.
A lot of people still don't understand.
Busy with their own recitation.
When the imam do recite aloud, everybody recite
by yourself.
You're responsible for your prayer. But when the
imam recite aloud because he want you to
listen.
Why are you busy in reciting
Quran by yourself?
He was allowed in the beginning
then later on when this ayah was revealed,
the prophet
do not allow anymore.
Then you see the Allahu
Akbar.
Complete silent.
No touchwish. No disturbance.
Adab. When the imam will say, Sami Allahu
aliman
hamida,
what should we
see?
That's all. That's all.
Who call you to say, samya Allahu limanhamidah
again?
You say that if you're praying alone,
by yourself, samya Allahu iliman hamida, rubbanalaqalham,
both you recite.
But the prophet
What is a raka of our kabirullahatiraka?
What is a kala imasami
Allah holy manhamid
and the imam start and ended his taqbir,
then you follow. You follow.
Fatabir, oh.
When he go for bowing, he'll go but
don't start to move to bowing until Imam
completed his bowing.
When he said, sami'allahu
limanhamidah,
what did the prophet say?
What did the mum say?
Rabbanalakaalham.
Is that difficult?
It become difficult. We Mahmoud also said, Sami
allah holy man hamidah.
Why? Did the prophet call us
to do so if the prophet said, said,
sami Allahu limana amina plus rabbanana laka ham,
then you do it.
Can you imagine we have been worshipping Allah
for so long we don't even know the
other
and we don't care.
May Allah accept our prayer. Amen.
And that's why we keep on reminding,
even the prophet said, Alirodulillah
said, akhir was here nabihi salah.
Towards the end, the prophet still reminds, salah,
remember,
not only you establish your prayer, you must
have the knowledge of prayer.
Knowledge always come first before you want to
say anything, you want to do anything.
That's why we choose every month to conduct
one
perfecting my soled cost per month there is
always 1. Only in Ramadan.
Yeah. We can make it
Because we have been reminding everybody every night.
We hope that
that is good.
Yeah.
Good enough for us.
Is very important brother for us to understand.
One aya that I also want to share
with all of you today.
In
was
208.
Allah is
calling all of it. Yeah.
Over.
Oh you who believe
in Allah.
Allah now is telling the believer,
enter
Islam.
Accept Islam
fully,
tough
not partially.
Allah in other ideas said, Do you want
to believe
except some and you disbelieve some? No.
Islam is a complete
thing.
You come in, you come
and accept it
as how Allah have perfected this religion.
You don't choose, no.
Just accept, submit yourself. That is what Allah
said.
What can benefit you?
Illaman
atallah
biqalbin
salim.
Your heart has submit to Allah.
Anything when Allah want you to do, the
prophet has shown you, just follow. It's that
easy?
It's that easy to follow brother and sister?
Easy. To follow is easy.
To call you to come up with something
new, headache.
Everything is there, just follow.
I don't understand why it's so difficult to
follow.
You feel not enough, you think you know
better than Allah.
Are you telling the prophet way is not
sufficient? You have a better way than the
prophet?
Don't ever follow the footsteps
of Satan.
Not just follow Satan,
the footsteps of Satan don't follow.
Anything against Allah and the prophet, you know,
it come from
the other party.
Last night, what did I share with all
of you, brothers and sisters?
What is the topic that I
shared with all of you?
Anybody can remind
me? What is the topic
in general I discussed last night?
About dua. Yeah. Masha'Allah.
We have been fasting now how many days?
How many days?
10. I'm the first 10 gone.
We have another 10 to come and then
the last 10.
There was a discussion we had yesterday.
People were asking,
what happened instead?
If from the beginning before fasting
and the first until the 10 days of
fasting,
we are still the same
person.
We only fast, no food, no drink but
anything come out is like rubbish bin.
We do almost everything. When we do business,
we lie, we cheat,
everything goes.
When we make promise, we break the promise.
You name us about Allamatul Munafiq, we have
100%
there.
What is the allamat monafiq? The prophet have
shown us. What is the sign, aya,
of a monafiq?
First when he speak, he lie.
When you trust him with anything,
he prove to you he cannot be trusted.
He can promise he never fulfill his plan.
Insha'Allah, Insha'Allah, Insha'Allah,
I'll pay you back. I'll pay you back.
His inshallah is not to pay
but
your understanding he's going to pay
because he is Insha'Allah.
And then when you discuss,
when you argue and then he do not
think about what is right, he just want
to win.
Whoever had these four character,
the prophet confirmed
100%
pure monastic.
You understand pure monastic?
You have pure monafiq, you have unpure monafiq.
We have some percent, 4
100% pure.
If you have 3, how many percent?
75%.
75%.
You have 2, how many percent? Jesus.
You have 1, how many percent?
I think 1, everybody have 1.
But it's time to change.
You still have 20 days.
The room for you to change is always
there.
Just have the intention.
Oh Allah, I want to change. Help me.
Allah will help you.
We're talking about Dua.
And now I end with this hadith about
Dua. It's from
Hadith, Taormazi, Imam Ahmad.
It's an authentic Hadith.
I will just recite the meaning to make
it easier to understand. Whenever a Muslim make
dua,
ma min Muslim
Whenever a Muslim is making a dua,
not for sin nor breaking the tides of
kinship,
not
duar for anything that is sinful
and to break the tie of a kinship,
Sirat Rahim.
Allah
respond
to his
in one of 3 ways.
Now,
The prophet is saying, Allah is sure to
answer
in one of the three ways.
Now let us look which way we are
in.
Number 1,
he will respond
and answer quickly,
instant response.
Have you experienced sometimes when you make dua?
Suddenly it happened. Have you experienced that?
Hallelujah.
Or
number 2,
he will only
respond
in the hereafter.
Everything you ask, he keep it.
He's responding, he's listening,
but he do not respond to you immediately.
And the third one.
When you ask for something, you forget to
ask for another thing.
You only want the good good good, you
forget to ask Allah to protect you from
the bad bad bad.
Because you're so good,
You forget about the bad one. The bad
one is
around you.
But Allah is responding
by protecting you
from the bad environment.
Without you realize something, you just ask.
That's why one of the prayer that the
prophet highly recommend us,
Very general. We don't have
good memories sometimes. We like this this this
this, we forget that that that.
You remember brother and sister for us who
have been married?
Alhamdulillah. How many years? 10, 15, 20, 30,
40.
Do you still remember the du'a that the
prophet recommend you to your side?
First is the husband to the wife, the
wife just said, Amin.
The wife just said Amin.
Remember that.
What is under the sunnah
and after Egypt Kabul,
the groom put his hand on the forehead
of the wife and make a supplication.
Anybody remember?
Somebody can say it loud so I can
hear you.
Allahumma.
Good.
You're married already, brother? Not yet.
That's a good one.
He's not married yet, but he memorized it.
Those who are married,
they forgot.
You see,
Allah Oh Allah, I'm here to ask you.
Anything that is good
in her
and the good that may come from her,
something she is good
but she do not know to share her
goodness with you.
Good only for her, everything. She's the good
but only her.
Her.
And all but seek refuge in anything that
is bad. Everybody has some bad
behavior character. True or not?
Have you experienced that after marriage?
Before marriage, honey honey sweet tea sweet tea.
Chocolate chocolate tea.
After that you know now how many time
you get chocolate, you get sweet
and you get all your sour one, the
bitter one.
That that is common, everybody have that.
That's why we ask a lot
to give us give us the back and
protect us. Sometimes we keep on asking, asking,
we forget to ask Allah for protection.
So upon that,
the companion
asked the prophet,
Yeah Rasulullah,
what if we ask for a lot of
thing?
You see being human we want to ask
more and more.
The prophet said, Allah is more plentiful
in responding.
This is what the prophet, Allah is more
plentiful
in responding.
Meaning
keep on asking.
Don't worry.
Don't get bored
when you ask Allah for anything.
Just keep on asking.
Allah never feel bored.
He just love us to keep on asking.
You just
be humble, ask.
That's why we keep on asking Allah for
what?
What is the thing that we keep on
asking Allah every day, brother and sister?
We ask
without fail.
Oh Allah, guide us.
Guide,
I want guidance.
I want to be guided. Now you have
to ask yourself.
Do you really want to be guided?
Or you just say, I want to be
guided. After that, my way,
yeah. My feeling
comforts.
And that's when you will make dua what
did Allah say.
Sobri, was salah.
Oh, you who ask Allah
for anything,
don't forget.
After you ask Allah,
you must follow-up with what?
You must follow-up with what?
Sabara.
You must have patience
and don't give up.
What's salah? That's why you want to must
pray.
And pray also must patience. Don't rush.
May Allah
brother and sister
accept all our prayer.
Forgive all our sins. Help us to become
better
this coming 20 days.
And remember the Quran was revealed
in this month.
Don't disconnect yourself from the Quran.
Keep on reading.
If you can't finish
until the end of Ramadan,
don't stop.
Just keep on continue.
At least once a year,
you revisit the whole book of Allah.
May Allah
forgive us, forgive all
our family members.
Protect our children,
our grandchildren,
who is a test for all of us.
And may Allah make all of us
righteous,
Yeah. Muslim and Muslim man.
Who is
consistent
to be righteous.
Not only sometime right
then the rest
we are the don't want to be right
anymore. Ramadan right outside Ramadan.
I also don't know. No. No. You must
know.
Tomorrow Insha'Allah
remind me of something that I want to
share with all of you about confusion.
Of people who are praying,
they get very confused
especially those who are using
chair.
They don't know how to perform the prayer.
Some say this, some say that
May Allah protect us from all this,
misunderstanding,
confusion where Islam is so simple.
I don't know. Sometime how can we become
so confused?
