All praises due to Allah
who created
us
so that we know him, love him and
serve him alone.
Never once Allah said that he create
things without a purpose or reason.
Everything that Allah created,
there's a reason behind it.
We may not know what Allah knows best.
Brothers and sisters,
the ayat that is being recited by our
imam from isha prayer
To the qiam
and always the wither will end with.
What is so important for us to reflect?
To reflect that Ammar ibn al Amin
is talking to us.
The first thing that we must learn when
the Quran is being recited
by the imam
when we are praying.
Whether you understand
or not, there is a different
matter.
Your duty
is to listen.
Just listen.
Even you don't understand your patience in listening
to the Ayah of Allah. La alla kum
turhamun.
Allah promised us that you will get His
mercy.
You will be blessed for that
just by listening.
Of course it's not easy to focus if
you listen to something that you don't understand
at all,
but we have been listening to music we
don't understand some
time, but we still enjoy,
maybe because of the
instrument they use.
Quran is
better
than any music,
if only we understand.
If you know how to value the Quran,
The ayah that was chosen by our imam
for isha prayer
is the last ayah
of
Now Allah is telling us, brother and sister,
it's very
don't
Don't let your property,
your children to make you forget Allah.
We love
to have more and more
money. It's okay.
You love to have more children and grandchildren,
okay,
no problem at all,
But don't let all these things
make you forget Allah.
Have no time to pray.
Have no time to read the Quran.
Have no time to seek knowledge because
busy.
Because of money.
Because I have so much met so many
children have no time,
and that's why
your property
and your children can be your enemy.
Whoever allowed that to happen,
faola
ikahu malakasirun,
you will end as a loser. Allah said
you will end as a loser, not me.
Not imam,
but Allah is talking to us.
Now Allah
is continuing the aya.
How can you be not
among the loser?
You have been working very hard to accumulate
wealth.
You have a lot now that Allah have
given you.
You have a lot of saving here and
there.
What did Allah say,
Now, learn how to give.
Don't don't just learn how to keep and
don't give.
Learn how to keep and keep giving
before
your time
of departure come.
Before you die, this is what Allah want
you to do,
Then you must be ready to give,
and then you say, oh Allah, may the
time for you to return back to Allah.
Suddenly you realize,
I'm going back now.
I have all my money, my saving.
What you do you say to Allah?
Immediately now you call upon Allah, oh Allah.
Spare me some time.
Please
delay my departure. Let me come back to
the dunya.
For what?
What is the purpose you want Allah to
send you back to this life, to this
world?
This world is full of fitna.
You ask Allah to delay your departure
for what?
You ask Allah to let you come back
to this world for what? You see what
the Allah said
in this aya,
so that I can give. It's not about
I want to pray, I want to fast.
No. I want to give now, you Allah.
If you give me another chance to live.
I am to give everything that I have,
oh Allah.
This is what we say to Allah.
Did Allah ask everything from us?
He didn't ask everything.
The minimum he asked 2 and a half
percent of your income per year
for your zakat.
That is the minimum.
Don't think that that 2 and a half
percent is so great from you, no.
Because that 2 a half percent is not
yours. If you keep, you have betrayed
the poor and the needy's right.
It's their right.
You are just a keeper,
a trustees.
What that Allah love most is not that
2 and a half percent.
After you give,
now you still have extra. Yours now. Yours.
2a half is added.
Yours now,
that's why Allah
said,
whatever you give is not considered something
that is great in the sight of Allah
until you are ready to give what you
love most.
The rest is
yours. 2a half percent is not yours. It
belong to the poor and the needy.
When you are ready to give more, that
is where the value come in.
This is what Allah is telling us,
and Allah answer when you ask, oh, Allah,
delay my departure.
Give me another chance. I want to give,
I want to give.
Allah said,
when it's time for you to go back
to him,
when Allah have ordained that you would die
at this day, at this time,
He will never delay for you anymore.
It's not that you are not being reminded.
You have been reminded again and again, but
you don't care. You are careless, hitless.
You still think that it's mine. It's mine.
It's too late.
This is what Allah is
telling all of us
before it's too late.
We have friends,
very committed,
very faithful,
following the deen
by guided by Quran and Sunnah.
We communicate with them, some of them yesterday.
They inform us
some members of the family passed away.
May Allah forgive their soul.
That is what is going to happen to
all of us 1 by 1.
How many our elders who are with us
have returned back to Allah?
We are still around, alhamdulillah.
I'm still around alhamdulillah.
I can keep on sharing my knowledge,
but we do not know
how long we are going to live.
So whatever opportunity
you have,
don't
always delay.
Anything could be hasten.
We know it's just a reminder.
Every day
our team have been supplying, sending food for
at least
almost 600
people
from 19 spots area.
You may not know,
but this is what we have been doing.
The big event will come on the 30th
of this month,
where we are going out
and delivering the high the right of the
poor and the needy.
We are going to their home.
They don't have to come, we go.
Because I want to see them and see
how is the development at home.
Are they getting better? If they're getting better,
alhamdulillah.
If we find that they are better now,
then
whatever we have given them,
we may shift to another family.
That is how we do our job, brother
and sister, that you may not be aware.
Whatever
that you contribute to us
will be delivered
to those
who deserve
the Asnaf.
May Allah bless those who have been responding
to our donation
drive.
Now lastly,
in the qiyam today, tonight, our imam chose
to recite
Surah Yusuf,
not all the Surah, the iron.
A beautiful Surah,
but
if you understand what the imam was reciting
about the ayah,
you will feel very different.
How this innocent boy, young boy,
the son of Yaqub alaihis salam,
it so happened that
he is the youngest one.
When he was young, Allah
appoint him to be a prophet.
We don't he realized yet.
Umrah
taught him ta'awi lu alahidis,
One of the prophet who specialized in
interpreting
the dream.
Any dream come to him, he know how
to explain.
You have a dream do come to me,
I don't know.
I give you some ice cream,
but
to you, so any dream,
you come to him, Allah bless him with
this special knowledge.
Because of this special
gift Allah given him,
and he dreamt
that 11 stars
and
the sky
and the other galaxy
prostrate to him,
honor him. He was very young at that
time.
Look at the advice of the father,
who knows.
Father have more experience than the children of
God.
How many children he have, Jacob?
How many?
How many?
Khawakaban.
Khawakaban is the
the sibling.
The sun and the moon
all prostrate to him, honor him.
But what the father said to this young
boy, oh my son,
don't ever share this dream to your sibling.
So he never shared.
Why?
Because your sibling will not be happy.
Number 1, you are the most handsome
boy.
Also
can be a fitna. When you are too
handsome,
it's really a fitna.
Same when you are too beautiful,
also become fitna.
There's nothing wrong with your beauty, but you
must be very careful.
But see what happened,
without telling the sibling,
because of the love that the father gave
to Yusuf,
very careful,
the other sibling
are not happy.
So they plan.
They plan to kill him.
Can you imagine?
Kill their own brother,
but among them, there's another brother,
the second youngest, Binyami.
He said,
don't kill him.
He's part of us.
If we're not happy with him,
we just put him in the middle of
nowhere,
find a well,
drop him in,
let the traveler come and take him away
from us,
far from our father,
so that our father love toward us will
be
fair.
That our father will love us like how
he love Yusuf, Yusuf no more.
The father
feels
something is not right from the beginning,
but the son,
the others are saved. You don't believe in
us,
papa?
We just want to bring the younger brother
out to the desert and play and have
have
have
fun.
Of course, being a father,
he let it go,
and they really plan
and bring back
the shirt, some part of
the garment I used to and put the
false blood and say he was
attacked
by the
wolf,
now he's gone.
What happened to the father,
brothers and sisters?
We love story. What happened to the father?
He was so sad,
tears
keep on dropping.
He keep on crying until he get blind.
There is the father's life.
He has no daughter.
All are sons.
The story continue.
Long story.
He was tested again
by
the female master,
Allahu Akbar.
Then later on he was tested again
because now all the ladies
in Egypt is talking about the
minister of finance
wife,
who fall
into Yusuf.
Yusuf is like a slave to them.
They bought Yusuf
and brought him back to the home. As
he grow younger
and become
a teenager,
only Allah knows how he look like.
So when she cannot control herself
and try to approach him and create fitna
to him again,
Then he was not found guilty.
The family came and looked into the affairs
and said,
if you look at his shirt, it's tear
from
in front, then
he commit
something wrong,
But if you find the shared tear from
behind,
then
this lady,
the female master is wrong,
and they found that his shirt was torn
from behind.
Alhamdulillah,
he was safe now,
but
the female master is not happy because
woman is woman.
For men, men will keep quiet, Kalas.
Man is man.
Man understand man better.
But woman and woman, they do understand each
other,
but
it's very hard for the woman to control
the tongue.
That is your fitra.
I'm not saying it's wrong, that's your fitra.
Women hardly talk before they get married. They
listen a lot.
After marriage, then they talk.
Then the man have to listen,
and that is the reality.
Don't believe you ask the newly vet.
Do you experience that?
Normally, it's like that.
Something happened.
She was so upset that all the woman
is gossiping about her.
She prepared a special meal
that they use knife to cut,
and then he called
Yusuf
just to parade, like become the what?
What time sometimes they have the kind of
parade for
the beautiful lady we fashioned
to walk in front
the audience.
For them, they have to wear a new
fashion,
and they must learn how to walk like
they don't know how to walk before that.
So Yusuf was commanded to do that.
Yeah. He had been,
you
know, brought over by the female master.
He does
it. He just walked in front,
and this woman all around her was cutting.
Suddenly, they cut their hand, their finger.
Now,
the chi master is,
I see her day and night. I didn't
cut off my finger.
You just see him 1, now you cut
your finger.
Because he's suddenly they
say, is he an angel?
He don't look like human.
That is how handsome Yusuf is.
If Yusuf is around, I think
the woman just get crazy.
Yeah.
Anyhow,
to cut the story short,
There are so many lessons to learn.
Allah loves kadar.
He asked Allah
to allow him to stay behind bars.
He preferred to go into
the jail than to stay outside
and being,
fitna
to all the women,
and Allah accept his prayer.
He prefer to be behind Baal.
Alhamdulillah.
Then
something happened.
The leader of Egypt have a dream again,
and then asked for somebody to interpret his
dream.
Alhamdulillah.
They came to know who is Yusuf
and asked
him, and before that, Yusuf
asked him to flee,
to clean his name
because he's been
fitna
by the woman,
by his wife. He
was free
and then he explained the dream
and it really happened.
7 months,
you will experience
drought.
No. 7 years drought.
Prepare whatever you can prepare.
Now 7 years, you prepare for the 7
years
that is going
to come
where there's no rain for 7 years.
But with the will of Allah.
Because of that,
Middle East, Egypt is not in Middle East,
Egypt is in Africa.
Middle East have to find
a way to survive
where there is water.
It's like animal when he stands there,
no drain is coming
for days, for week, animal is migrating.
That is how the history of the Jew
migrate
to Egypt.
There is a first migration.
With the will of law,
they met Yusuf. How long will Allah?
They don't recognize
Yusuf anymore.
Any family
experience.
Experience what?
Experience
the cut off relationship between you and children.
Please have
patience.
It is not easy to understand why your
children,
why your grandchildren don't want to meet up
with you.
It is not easy.
We have given them the best.
Sometimes
parents corrupt them.
Sometimes they just have been corrupted,
but you must have a lot of patience.
Long years,
they were separated,
but later on they realized
because when they asked for help, for mercy,
the way he was talking, he become
the minister of finance.
He start to talk to his sibling.
You so remember the sibling, the sibling don't
remember him.
Yusuf was talking to them, do you remember
something happened
to one of your brother, Yusuf?
Then the siblings said, are you Yusuf?
Then that's where the Yusuf
send,
yes,
his garment,
he said bring back
to the
father. When
they came back, Binyamin is being detained now.
It's a plan, Allah,
qadar Allah.
He was detained because they found some food
that
that was not given to him, but the
plan that somebody put on his camel,
and he found that you cannot leave
because he want him to stay back
for a reason.
Then when they went home,
when they passed the diamond,
the father can smell
the smell of Yusuf.
So the father said,
is Yusuf back?
Oh, my. So long.
The father knew that Joseph has not been
eaten by the wolf,
but the sibling and the other son is
making story, drama,
so for the father, what to say?
Joseph is gone,
but he still have hope,
And what do they say to the father
when the father's side came back?
Come back. He put the shirt on the
face
and then the father can see now.
This is the miracle.
Allahu Akbar.
Immediately, they asked the father, please forgive us.
Of course, father is father.
Father always parent always forgave their children.
Children only sometimes
is very hard on the parent.
Don't do that to your parent at all.
What happened then?
Then
the father
forgives them
and said that Allah is merciful
and forgiving.
Now they have to migrate and meet up
with Youssour.
Allahu akbar.
The story
end tonight
and you can continue
by reading Surah Yusuf
when you go home tonight
and find out more. Never give up hope
to be with Allah.
Increase
the patience that you have to understand
the kadar of Allah.
So brother and sister, once again,
we thank you all of you who have
been consistent joining us for the quiam.
The number increased sometime
because we have new faces, new people joining
us
from time to time.
And Myanmar
reward everybody
who has been helping us
to help the poor and the needy,
and may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
protect all of us
from further diseases,
viruses,
pain, and suffering.
Have faith in Allah
and never give up hope.
