May Allah forgive the sin of every Muslim
male and female,
every believers
male and female,
and those
who are still alive among us and those
who have passed away.
This is one of the duas
that normally will be recited every jumah
by the katib.
And second, khutba,
normally,
the katib
will not forget to make this dua.
But the beauty of this dua,
we don't pray
for the far shikreen,
for the Zohrimin for the monastic kim, we
don't pray for them.
So whoever who is not a Muslim
or a believer,
they are not in this prayer,
even they are among us sometimes.
Munafya clean is always
among the believers
but they are not qualified for this prayer.
Dua is a very powerful
weapon
for the believers.
After you try your best to do what
you have to do,
Be ready for the worst to come.
Don't forget to make dua.
Our prophet, sallam,
when
he become very sad
for any
reason,
one of the duas
that normally he will start
with, you hayyun
your hayyun birahmatika
astaghid,
and then he'll meduah.
Calling upon Allah,
the all living,
the one who is always ready
to respond to our prayer.
With your mercy,
oh Allah,
I seek help.
One of the ayah that was recite by
our imam
is about what happened to
the first messenger of Allah.
The 3rd prophet, but the first messenger.
The people of the book
acknowledge
that Adam, alaihis salam,
is the first
father of humanity,
but then they also acknowledged
Noah, alaihis salam, as a second Adam,
meaning
father
of nations and tribes,
because nations and tribes start
in the time of Noah, it never start
in the time of Adam,
so Adam is known as Abu Bashar,
the father of mankind.
Ibrahim alaihis salam is known to the people
of the book
as the third Adam,
the father of the nation of the believers.
Most of the prophets
was the descendant of Ibrahim
and that's why every time when we make
salawat,
we always follow with
Abraham,
and that's why we are connected.
All the Ibrahim's
faith are 1,
but today a lot of people who claim
they are also from the Ibrahim
faith, but they commit Sharia.
That is not
the Ibrahimia.
No alaihis
salam. We know how long he called his
people
to Islam,
back to Allah, to believe in Allah.
950
years doing dawah.
Not just teaching the born Muslims, they're calling
people who are not yet a believer
to believe in Allah for
950
years.
Allah tested him,
he don't have a lot of followers.
For 950
years
he don't even have 90 followers,
but he never failed the mission of Allah.
It is his duty to convey, that's all.
All prophet was sent
to convey the message. Their duty is just
to convey,
and now there's no prophet after Muhammad. It
is our duty
to convey the message.
You cannot escape and say,
I'm not knowledgeable, I'm not an Ustaz, I'm
not a Dahi, I'm not an alim,
I'm not an imam,
Because it's so simple. Baligu ani wal aya,
1 ayaat. Have you memorized 1 ayaat?
Have you memorized 1 ayat? Yes. Yes.
Even you can convey it. Tell the people,
do you know who is
Allah?
Now we have a problem because they put
the name Allah.
Right? Stop. They're talking.
They want to
taste or test the water, see how the
Muslim react.
The the iman of the Muslim is still
very strong.
You don't play with them, even they are
not praying, but they will fight for that.
But we have been failing. Tell them who
is Allah. Allah
Allah is the creator of the world. He
is your God, my God. There's only one
true God. Just say to them,
we even can't
convey
the
message.
We have failed ourselves, brother and sister,
and we do not want to keep on
failing.
Time
to be productive.
No, alaihis salam, call.
He calls so many people, but not more
than 90 who follow
for
950 years, number 1.
And Allah test him
further,
3 of his sons follow,
one son refused,
and he called, Allah commanded him to build
a ship
because Allah is going to send down rain
from the sky
and the water from the land, the earth
is going to raise up too.
Can you imagine both sides?
The sun uses common sense.
I have no worry
If it can rain for month, I will
just go up on the hill.
I'll be safe from the flood.
They don't know
what kind of punishment
this Allah will understand.
That's why when you see rain, brother and
sisters, what do you say?
Soyiban
nafi'ah. When there's rain, don't forget.
Ask Allah
to shower rain that benefits us,
not rain that can bring flood
and destruction,
yeah, but ask Allah to shower upon us
rain
that will benefit us.
Brothers and sisters,
his son
refused to follow,
but it never stopped no other Islam to
keep on calling other people.
You cannot say, what can I do? My
children also have problem, my family also
are stuck fear of law,
so
don't call me to go and call and
invite people to Islam, go and teach people
about good things, when my own family no,
you cannot give that excuse.
No never give up and no keep on
praying one day
when the time when the flood start.
No say to Allah, oh, Allah, please save
my son.
What did Allah say to no?
Don't ever call him your son. He's not
he have nothing to do with you anymore.
He's not your family anymore.
Can you imagine, brother and sisters?
He had been calling
950 years
Allah tells him
not only
not a lot of people who follow him,
but his own son refused to follow,
and he still called him son until Allah
said, don't call him your son anymore.
There will be a time
we all will be tested,
but your duty is to do what you
have to do.
This is very important, brother and sister,
that's why when we make prayer,
is for every Muslim and Muqmin, male and
female,
those who are still living and those who
have passed away,
but
you never come across
that the prophet ever prayed
for the monothequeen.
No, for the farcicqin.
The only thing they pray
is not for forgiveness.
May Allah guide them.
Yes, he prayed for other people who are
not a Muslim yet, may Allah guide them,
but when you become a Muslim, you just
have to be a good Muslim.
You may not
practice everything, but you try your best.
Because of this, tonight, I want to remind
myself and all the good brothers and sisters,
you should not
burden yourself.
You should not put yourself
in trouble.
Remember they had this, ladarara?
Why? Like fasting
look at this
ayah
and then
later on, Allah said, you read the law
Allah's intent is,
he has no intention to make you suffer,
make your life difficult,
so if you are travelling
based on this aya, Allah said break your
fast,
even you are healthy
because travelers have to face a lot of
changes,
time zone change,
weather change,
so Allah do not want you to burden
yourself,
especially those who are sick.
Please.
If you feel that you are sick,
you have medication
to take,
don't force yourself.
Just break your fast,
because Allah make easy, why might you make
it difficult?
You're having fever,
flu, running nose, all these things, but if
you think
you can control but when you're still having
fever,
you need to take medication,
you have to take.
That's why there was a video that people
shared,
very interesting.
He said in
in in Arabs,
when you eat nasi
you can still fast,
you eat nasi
it won't break your fast.
You understand?
Do you understand?
You don't understand.
At first I also don't understand.
How can
the Arab come up with this fatwa? If
you eat nasi,
that means
you
do not break your fast, you can still
fast. That means
it so happened the word nasi to us,
nasi.
To the Arab means whoever eats something,
nasiya, means
forgetful. You don't
you do are not aware, you forget.
Nasir means forget.
You
you you you have to
you cannot see, it's still okay, you know.
When you're fasting, can take nasi, no roti.
No. No. No.
It's what happened the word
means forget.
Anything you do forget,
not purposely,
no sin upon you. Now
I would like to remind all the people
who so happen are not well,
and the doctor have remind you what to
do,
so please break your fast.
Don't,
yeah, force yourself. Allah knows best.
Yeah. There's no sin at all, only you
have to pay back, only some time to
pay back outside Ramadan
is more challenging. Everybody is eating, your friend
eating, you yourself fasting.
There is an energy hard.
There shouldn't be a problem if you are
ready with the iman, Insha'Allah.
Now,
what did I share with you last night
that I say I'm going to
show you something?
We have been praying.
A sharp prayer, the imam said,
there are people who perform prayer but they
will end in hellfire.
How can people who are praying still end
in hellfire?
So what kind of prayer
that will save you from hellfire?
Allah did say, there is one prayer,
alazina homfi sola to him,
her, she own.
The person who established the prayer with knowledge,
knowing all the do's and don'ts,
know what is ruku, know what is wajib,
and he has the knowledge.
How can you say that I still don't
know, and you have been praying for 20
years, 30 years?
You still make a mistake.
Example, you still make a mistake when you
follow imam, you don't
hold yourself and say that I only say
amen when the imam start to say amen.
Why you say amen before the imam?
Hold
on,
because you're following imam.
Just example,
when you are latecomer,
how do you come in
and join the imam if you are latecomer?
The Prophet have taught us,
you cannot, if the Imam is rakor or
sujud, you can join, but you cannot just
Allah wakbar, you mean rakor, Allah wakbar you
go to sujud you are not supposed to
do that,
because your prayer is not valid without the
kibiratirahram.
Prayer must start with takbirte ihram, Allahu Akbar
because you are late, imam is ruku, you
don't recite anything, and then you make Allahu
Akbar and go down for ruku,
but you must come in
with Allahu Akbar,
just an example
Lately,
there's so
much confusion
about
women who are not well,
who cannot
go down for Suju.
If you pray while sitting down
on the ground, on the floor, it's
okay, but they just can't sit because of
the knee,
they just can't,
So they have a chair.
So now I'm going to show you what
is going on to the video,
what is being
shared by a lot of people.
They say,
when you stand for prayer, you can stand.
When you can stand,
you stand first,
do whatever you can,
The only area that you can
do is when you want to go in
a fusudu,
you can still stand, you can still, normally
do,
do Allahu Akbar,
do your level best,
if you can, why must you like that?
Then you can do it properly,
why can't,
why do you do halfway?
But when you are going to go down
sujood time, you can't,
samya Allahu limanhamidah,
then you sit.
Now this is where the problem start.
So the people say, when you are sitting
now,
by right you cannot sit.
You can't sit because you start by standing,
so they said you cannot sit, what you
do after
you go down sujood like that.
If possible,
touch,
if not,
your buttocks must be higher
than
your head and now,
start with the Lord. Please don't torture yourself.
I don't know where this
idea come from,
you know. They say you must go in
like that.
If you mustache, you touch.
If not, you cannot see only you're
sitting between 2 sujada and then you're sitting.
And then Sujood again.
Then there was a video,
alhamdulillah,
people asked
the ex
religious minister
to teach them, he went to visit a
mosque
and there's a lot of elderly people
who is using chair, they get confused too,
because when the woman confused, the man also
get confused,
you know, because
the woman is telling, the stanza is saying
that whoever don't do this the way that
she show your prayer is not valid,
call us.
Can you imagine?
They come up with
a fatwa that
invalid the prayer,
So when
doctor,
yeah, was trying to share with his friend,
he showed very simple, stand, you can stand,
and then you can make normal roku, no
problem, make ruqo, because this is what you
can do.
SamiAllahuliman
hamida
rubbanalakaalham,
you cannot
go down, make sure you
sit and then do your level best. You
don't even have to go like that.
Oh, you must touch the ground. How about
your knee? Your knee must also touch. How
about your forehead also have to touch?
So why not you just go go just
go down?
Why are you trying to make life so
difficult when Islam is so simple?
When you use opinion, there will be a
lot of problem.
In China,
in Taiwan,
and in Hong Kong, I was there for
a year in the Islamic Center.
They prepared a kind of chair.
That chair have a table,
attached with a table.
Yeah.
The chair attached with the table.
Why they say, when you make sujud,
your head and your
and also
the nose
and two hand must be like on the
ground.
So if you pray without using that table,
they consider not valid.
It's another problem.
They forgot you want the forehead, the nose
correct, your hand yes, how about your knee?
Your knee is not touching the ground,
the prophet said 7th part must be on
the ground.
A long word, but
I feel very sad when the Muslims who
have been praying
for so long there was no issue before,
suddenly it become an issue.
I think we love to create issue, you
know,
or we just want to attract
people, you know.
We want some attraction, we create something. Indonesia
just came up with some problem,
and now that Natal ulama and the scholar
is waiting,
what they are saying?
Say, he is
Isa,
if No Mariam.
And Indonesian say he's going to be Jesus.
He don't
look like Jesus at all,
you know.
There's another problem. We don't know it. Sometimes
I think these people just they have nothing
to do,
nobody bother about them, so they create some
story, now everybody come to them.
Yeah, the journalists come, reporter come, police come,
and all the scholars are talking about them.
It's not a bad deal.
It can become popular very fast,
but for the wrong reason. You don't create
this confusion, we don't understand why we are
going to that direction.
So brothers and sisters,
we hope that
we do understand,
follow the Quran and sunnah
is easy.
We follow opinion, no ending.
Today somebody show you this one, tomorrow we
don't know, another thing is going to come.
Only Allah knows.
So you just remember what Allah said, number
1, Allah never burdened you, number 2, Allah
said, you read Allah become a yusra, you
read become a usra.
Number 3, Allah says wamajaa Allah, alaykum fiddeen
min harai,
and then Allah, and with a very beautiful
ayah, fata'allah,
master ta'atoo.
You want to obey Allah?
You want to be muttaqeen,
just do your level best, karas, and Allah
knows best.
Those people who have no knee problem don't
go and talk nonsense.
Okay?
You don't confuse the people who have knee
problem.
Make it easier. I don't understand. There's so
many things to talk. You're going to create
another problem.
You remember once upon a time, we have
another problem about Adobe?
You remember Adobe matter?
They say if you go to any this,
Adobe with all the big big machine,
then
you cannot mix with the Chinese
laundry
and then, the Indian because
they got nudges here and there, and then
you can mix together.
You are close also nudges.
Nobody talk about that, only
we, I don't know, maybe Nusantara
very good in all this,
yeah.
The whole world don't talk about that when
you go to the hospital,
hospital, when you are in the hotel, you
send your laundry,
you just send, you send it back clean.
You don't ask, hey, hey, which shop do
you send?
Do you send to a Muslim, halal laundry?
What are you talking about?
I don't understand why and because of that
you make some readers so
angry,
but
going through a normal process, that is the
problem.
If you want, simple,
it's not difficult, if you are
a laundry
owned by you,
or you are the caretaker, you are Muslim,
you just
appoint, just select 1 or 2,
and then you say this is for the
n what? I always call them what?
Use for n y m.
You put a sign, people don't know.
You put
that. The rest,
Simple.
You don't create nonsense.
Just when sometimes we just don't understand why
we
spend time
coming with photo that have no
no value at all, only confusion,
Yeah so next time when you buy a
thing you must check,
you must ask the one who are
the exchanger, any
money, do
we
and
then you must learn also, and then he
may have eat something before haram thing, and
then he touch the money, you know, Chinese
love like that.
Here, secure means money money money.
So what you gonna do? Every money that
you detach, you must sum up.
You must do that, you do.
You want to do, you do. You have
nothing to do, you go and sum up.
You must have a lot of dust with
you.
Each time you go out, you come back
all your money,
we have to mix with the dust.
Please,
Islam is a very simple religion, yeah,
so when you follow Quran's sunnah, you'll never
get home confused,
brother and sister.
I just want to share with you tonight
why, because I feel
we have to address this matter.
At first I don't want to talk about
let people want to go this way, go
that way, if you want to do, but
I'm worried that one day you will drop,
you know. You don't have the balance, you
know, you're getting heavier and heavier and heavier,
pump, you go down.
Why do you inject yourself for nothing?
When Allah make it so simple.
Yeah.
May Allah guide us, may Allah bless us,
accept our prayer, forgive all our sins.
Remember,
we still have how many days?
Alhamdulillah.
Yeah. The first ten gone.
We are moving to the second ten,
and then please be ready. You know what
we have been,
encouraging everybody to do more
when you are still in the month of
Ramadan,
and so that we get more blessing.
And also
don't forget
we have all these
donation drive for
the poor and the needy,
so everybody should try to participate
so that we all will be rewarded by
Allah
with
unaccountable
reward.
As long as you
do things
together
collectively
is better than doing by yourself.
May Allah
make us among the people
who will
do what
that please
Allah.
Amen.
And he will see you tomorrow,
Inshallah.
