All praise be to Allah. We praise him
for his,
generosity that we can manage to finish our
kiam
tonight.
Alhamdulillah,
nawatul accept it and also our
fasting in
the morning
today.
So, I will say is he currently,
on traveling,
in
a journey, we are not gonna protect him
wherever he is. So I'll be pressing him
for tonight, reminder.
And like being said by Usaiza,
just now,
Give reminder that because reminding
will be beneficial for the believers.
Okay.
We, alhamdulillah,
already entered half of Ramadan
and it's actually not really too late for
me to remind
all of
us, because
it's a normal thing,
for us to
look back.
Some of
us coming to Ramadan,
get off Ramadan,
I didn't feel anything.
It's like a norm.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala when he make for
us
the time or the season for type of
worship,
We have daily,
weekly,
we have monthly, we have yearly.
It's actually because we human
have tendency
to get bored.
You know, get
used to something,
and in the end you get boring and
you don't focus anymore.
It's like when you first get your license
to drive,
you remember,
the first few months you get license, you
know, some people do just like that, not
turning their head,
always focus.
And some women will go
out front.
I don't know why, why they are looking
in front, I don't know. But that is
happening,
but only for few
early months.
But after they start to, you know,
start to have familiarized
with their turning and their head, and even
what what what?
They'll turn over to their children, anybody behind,
and turning like that, playing handphone.
So because of that that particular,
habit
for human,
Allah is making for us all the seasons
and the differentiation. Because sometimes when you say,
you want to remember Allah, just remember all
the time. But the problem is human cannot
do that.
You will get bored because Adi or Thala
give you different
Ibadah
in different situation,
you know, you want to enter
your toilet,
you have to say this application for entering
toilet.
You don't see this you don't see your
citation to, you know, to go into your
vehicle.
When you go into journey, there's another
supplication.
You have intimacy
with your wife, another supplication.
Always been changed because you have to,
you know, real realign
realign
your focus
to Allah.
That is the thing.
Because whenever,
when when we recite the hadith of the
prophet,
when you say Allah will not accept
any supplication
from the heart that is
an intention, you know, you don't don't have
focus, no intention,
then all the time we reject. So can
you imagine your prayers,
your fasting,
your qiyal,
how is it actually you want to get
your focus back?
Alhamdulillah, like I said, we are still,
you know, going in the other half of
Ramadan. If I mentioned this
in the last 10 nights, maybe you say,
why didn't you tell me earlier?
So I went to to to remind all
of us, all of you, also myself,
about how to focus
in your act of worship,
Dunu Ramadhan.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
he gave us
the benefit
of all
the act of worship.
He give us why he command us to
do this and that.
Some of the advantages
is actually the thing that you have to
focus
to get it inside remote dot
Inside our worship. Okay. First thing, I want
to change 2 things inshallah tonight.
Firstly,
it's about
the
the the forgiveness for your sin.
That is the thing that Allah ta'ala
make us to understand from the, from the
saying of the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam
when he said, man sama Ramadan,
whoever fast Ramadan.
Iman and wahdisaban,
because believe in Allah
and and hoping rewards from Allah.
All all his past
sins will be erased,
Will be forgiven by Allah.
And our kiyam also being said by the
prophet sallam, mankoma,
Ramadan, whoever, kiyam Ramadan,
stood up in the night
to pray
or to any worship
in the night in Ramadan.
Also, iman muhti san. Because of belief and
because of,
hoping reward from Allah. Then they said, wafirallahu
ma taqaddamindam
bhi. We'll be forgiven
whatever passed from his sin.
And even light look at the last 10
night that we want to search, the the
the night that is better
than 1000
month.
Better than 1000 months. If you act overship
on that night, will be rewarded more
than 1,000 months.
Not just one night, it's like you you
recite the Quran in that night, it's like
you recite the Quran for 10,000
month. Alpha sharah.
So,
that is the thing when you remember, Allah
ta'ala,
is giving us in Ramadan
this blessing
for us to erase all all our past
sins.
Why is it so important?
Because you have to remember this during your
fasting, during your kia,
even actually during all your egg and worship.
Because the prophet
said that
the the forgiveness
through the acts of worship is not only
in Ram about Ramadan, it's also on your
prayers.
Even Jum'ah.
They say it by the prophet of salaam,
as salaatulah
comes, the 5 time prayers.
Subo, Zuhur, Asa, Maghrib, Nisha.
All of it, mukafirotonlimaylima
baynahhu.
It's that eraser.
Eraser for all the whatever happened in between
them. What will happen after Fajar? You did
something wrong, then Zohr
will erase
all the sin that you did.
After Zohr, you did something. This is blessing
from Allah. Mercy from Allah.
Because we know that we we cannot say
that we are not committing sin.
You cannot see that because our ta'ala already
mentioned,
in in in in in in for us
to know him, he mentioned his name Alagafar
Alagafar,
means the one that's forgiving.
When he told us that we he is
so forgiving,
means that we surely will sin.
You want you want it or not, you
will do. Even the prophet did say about
that. The prophet said,
Adam
All
the the children of Adam,
All of them are are always doing mistakes.
The best from among those who did mistake
are the one the one who repent. Always
repent.
Not taif,
tawaw.
If you learn Arabic, the word fa'al,
tawawaw
means that doing thing something
continuously.
Because when you say, a person driving a
car, you say sa
ik, sa ikun.
But if the person work as a driver,
you call him Sawak.
Sawak.
Even become an occupation,
Nagjar,
a wood, a carpenter, you call Nagjar.
The one who sell meat, you call jazar.
When Allah said, go far.
And
the the prophet said about us, tawah.
The best among those who do many mistake
are the one that always
to repent to Allah.
So if you look into that, why is
it important?
We, the children of Adam, must remember that
we are not the creatures of this earth.
Adam,
peace be upon him, was created inside the
paradise.
So we actually want to go back to
our first place of origin.
The origin of Adam is the paradise, not
in the earth.
You know if if you, I in few
of the classes, I did mention about the
attempt did by,
Russian
scientist named Alexander Oparin
in the time of Joseph Stalin. He tried
to create life
for 30 years
and more, he tried to create.
But in the end,
you don't you don't know his name, Oparin.
But if you go Google,
he really exists. This guy
in the in the in the forties, during
Joseph Stalin times after fifties, sixties, so famous.
Even Russia give him all the resource for
him to create life.
So in the end, you know what he
say,
life come from above.
Because the substance to make our body is
here.
Hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, sulfur, many simple things is
here,
but the life is not here.
He said, life must come from us.
So when he says something like that, people
start to reject him, because his answer
is giving the hint about the Creator.
So people ignore him, not looking at him
anymore.
So we actually, like being said, being descend,
Allah sent down
Adam
from paradise
to the Earth.
Until the time come, he come back. So
we actually want to come back to our
place of origin origin,
but the problem is Adam was
sent down from paradise
with how many mistakes?
How many?
One.
I show you this as start everybody start
to say, is it 1 or 10?
Is it 5?
1, 1, only 1.
One mistakes.
One mistake only, but we want to go
back to our place of origin.
That because in paradise, there's nobody is sinner.
Even a person who sin in this world,
if he went to hellfire
being burned
according to his sin, and after that will
be sent into the paradise. If he or
from the Ummah do who people who have
tawhid,
believe in our law, do the tawhid, then
he will be born according to his sin
and after that
been cleansed to enter the paradise. Nobody, no
sinner inside the paradise.
So now,
if
we think about that, how can we go
to paradise
while we are doing sin so many?
You cannot say no. Sometimes you say, I
don't I don't know. I don't, you know,
I don't do sin.
You do remember because sin is not just
because, you you do something towards Allah or
or disobeying Allah. Even your relationship with human,
with your family,
husband to his wife,
wife to husband,
or the opposite. I don't know whether
did did wife do mistake to husband?
No.
Only husband, okay?
Some some people say like something like that.
You know, today somebody send a a
a a dialogue,
discussion.
A boy said to his father, I went
to marry.
The father said, say sorry. Say I'm sorry.
So repeatedly, even the son in the sense,
say why? I didn't do anything, just say
sorry.
So in the end the son, say sorry,
I'm sorry.
Okay. You are ready to marry
because you are already asking for,
forgiveness without anything you did.
It's just jokes.
Don't eat your heart. Take your heart. So
such between husband and wife,
between children and their parents,
between you and your neighbor,
between you and your employer,
employee with your employee.
Everyone do seem inside your car.
You know, you you
say bad words to people who cut you
in line. How many words you you you
you pass?
Can you remember about that?
So so if you think, really really think,
how can you enter paradise with all the
sins so abundant
with you?
So Allah, when he gives you the obligation
to fast,
to pray, even to take udu,
every sin that you commit will be cleansed.
That is because of his mercy.
If not, the act of worship that you
doing
cannot even repay
what all the blessing you took.
The air, the sun,
the water,
the plant, the animals,
your body, all the cell inside your body,
you actually really really in-depth to Allah. If
you are doing whatever egg of worship to
just to repay, whatever blessing you are getting,
it's still not enough.
So Allah ta'ala making you to do act
of worship, but he toppled,
give bonus
through the
act of worship to cleanse
cleanse your sin.
Even when you are sitting here
after your prayer, the prophet said that the
angels will still keep on asking forgiveness for
you
inside the Mafalla.
Allahum Magfirlahu,
Allahummarhamhu,
Allahummatumma'alaihi.
Oh Allah, have mercy upon him. Oh Allah,
forgive him.
Oh
Allah, accept
repentance from him.
All the time until you have hadaf
or you move around. If not, then the
angel will still on going
asking Allah for your forgiveness. Can you imagine
the goodness about that? So the first thing,
when you remember about that, the sin that
you commit, everything that you did,
So
when you are praying
to Allah, when you are fasting, you are
doing your qiyam,
try to focus that you want that.
You want the forgiveness from Allah. That is
the biggest thing actually.
Because like I said focus is is is
actually something that will help you
to gain Khusho.
Why?
Who from among this audience
didn't play any video games before? Raise up
his hand. Didn't play.
No. I think everybody will play. Okay?
Can you remember
when you play video games,
somebody that do not play video games, sorry.
So everybody that play video games, if you
remember,
you have, actually have goal.
You have goal,
something,
objective that you want to get.
Either to pass the level
or to help the princess
or to kill the monster, anything.
So your focus is really there.
You're playing the games, and you're looking, and
your mother call, At least, go to to
the shop. Buy me coconut.
Yes, mom.
Your mom but your your eyes is there.
Your focus is
there because you have you want something there.
You have to gain something.
When you don't know what you want to
have to gain in your fasting in Ramadan,
that is something that making you, you know,
absent in your mind. You don't know what
what I'm gaining, what I'm waiting for. Is
it
something will come from up,
you know, maybe the the the rooftop
will be open, some light will come down
to your head. Are you waiting for that?
Or you're waiting for something inside your dream?
No.
You've actually been given already what is the
goal
of your act of worship.
1st, it's actually about the repentance,
the forgiveness from Allah. Your your umrah is
like like that.
Even the Hajj,
those those who go to Hajj
didn't say any any any vulgar words, and
didn't didn't also say bad words. Don't do
any things. That's what.
Adah, he came back. Kayawumwalat
umu, as the day he was given birth
by his mother.
You know, clean of all the sin.
Your Zakat
that you paid also will give you
forgiveness.
That will be said in Surat Al Tawbah,
verse number 103,
Adhanasid.
Khudmin Amwahilihim Sorakaatan. O Muhammad.
Take from there, the first one, you must
remember is about
the cleanse of your sin.
Remember that.
Second things
that you have
to also
bear in mind when you are fasting, you
are inside Ramadan,
I say
still half of Ramadan is waiting for you.
So it's not too late insha'Allah,
because alumur bi kawati mihah, anything that you
do,
the the best will be the last.
You'll be considered with the last. If you
go all out from beginning of Ramadan, the
end of Ramadan,
you careless in the end of Ramadan, it
becomes worthless.
You must remember that the ending is most
important.
Okay.
The second thing that you man, you must
think about when you enter Ramadan,
is what being said by Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala
in the aya about fasting.
All the time said,
All people have believed.
It's be obligated upon you, the fasting.
As being obligated upon people before you
before you.
Why
laanlakum?
May all of you
taqood
become
pious,
to have piety,
to fear Allah, to have taqwa.
I remember I was sharing he said he
always reminding about taqwa taqwa is the second
level
because you are the believers, You wali namanu,
it taqoolah.
So what is taqwa? The autolah mentioned inside
that. Aya.
It's be always be mentioned. Maybe our our
our our sisters
will not list, heard these words because they
didn't go to Jum'ah prayer because the men
always go to Jum'ah prayer, they will listen
that the,
the the khatib, the preacher
will
say this word.
Fear
fear
Allah. I I I advise myself
and all of you
to to fear Allah.
And all they
say, come. Let us fear Allah by,
by,
doing all whatever been commanded by him
and lifting out whatever He
forbid.
Do not do what He forbid, do whatever
He command you. These two things is actually
the essence of taqwa.
To do something because Allah told you, to
laugh at something because of Allah also.
Because sometimes we know that that the the
situation
or the condition can make you do something
that is actually supposed to be done because
of Allah, but you are doing because of
other things. Like if your father in law
your father in law come to your house,
And you will you you actually didn't go
to the mosque,
normally.
But on that day, because your father-in-law is
in the house, you start your motorcycle
and you start to go to the mosque.
Two reasons.
Firstly,
for the because you want,
a good impression
for your father-in-law. Secondly, maybe you don't want
to talk to him. You know, you want
to run away
Run away from your father-in-law because he will
ask you things, so you'll run away. Anyway,
sometimes people do it because of situations.
Even you can see that
normal for us when you pray koblya in
Badia.
After
after Zohr,
before Zohr,
after Maghrib, after Isha, and so on. Sometimes
it is because of condition. You are inside
you know for for for more than
5 years, 10 years you are worshiping Allah,
it should be gone already. You must do
it because of Allah.
You must get but how
can you feel that?
Okay.
Allah knows that we cannot know the feeling
of taqwa just like that.
It's so difficult.
So he give us things that will help
us.
Even actually all the acts of worship in
Islam
is building taqwa,
building
the piety inside your heart.
Utterase in Suratil Bhakkora verse number 21.
Utterase
Wait.
Okay. Yeah.
Oh, humankind.
Oh, human.
Worship your Lord
that created you
and created whoever before you.
Why?
Why should you
wish
worship
him?
May you all gain taqwa.
So how is it?
You know, when when you are praying,
it's actually how how to learn the the
feeling of taqwa.
When you are you come to pray
you come to pray, our Talal make condition
for your prayer to be accepted.
Most of it, you can see.
Like a person, if he doesn't,
face the qibla.
You can see.
Or he didn't wear enough clothes. You can
see.
Or even if he have something dirty,
nudges on him, you smell. You can you
can know.
But one thing
that cannot be known
in your
condition for your prayer to be accepted by
Allah. One thing
that only you know, Allah know. Nobody else
know.
What is
it? Intention.
Intention?
No. I I I don't I don't If
you are children, I will start to waiving
my money.
There
are another thing. Actually, the thing that people
will not know, only you and I know,
is actually,
your cleanliness
from Hadith.
You know, if you don't
take Urdu,
you don't take a bath,
full ablution.
You don't take full ablution. You just come
today and pray.
Where Emery know?
The Usid al Nwah, he become our imam.
He doesn't have any voodoo. Do you know?
If if if, I said if.
You don't know.
You know, I I said there because sometimes
men,
not here, the other place,
okay,
they come to Jum'ah so late
so late. The imam already on sacred raka,
Allahu Akbar reciting Fatiha
entering the Surah. So they come,
they didn't have any voodoo,
but the place for voodoo is so long.
What to what to do?
Can you imagine some of them just go
inside the the sovereign Allahu Akbar?
Surely some people will do that because they
do what they did impression of others upon
him. Hey, you want to you you you
don't pray at Jum'ah?
Because some people do go Jum'ah only.
In Malaysia, we have people who who come
to pray
once a week,
only Jum'ah,
and we have the other group,
once a year, only 8.
It's not, you know, it's a joke. It's
funny, but it's wrong.
So can you imagine if you just go
inside the brain of Allahu Akbar? Nobody knows.
But you can see the people
is so attentive
attentive
to take evolution. You know, even sometime some
of them take evolution,
the wudu,
until the the house is filled of water.
You know, he coming from the from the
sink until the the room. No. Water is
all because so attentive about that.
While the thing is, if you don't take
your ablution,
ablution,
nobody knows
Why are you taking care of it? The
the thing is you don't ask.
If you really ask yourself,
why do I care about this?
Nobody
knows. But the thing all that I want
to feel you feel inside your heart is
Allah knows.
The same with
Ramadan,
our fasting.
Because if you lie,
nobody knows.
With the heat, the the this this, with
the heat so strong,
you can just
come, take your hoodoo,
a little and
just
coming back from work.
Coming from work, you just take a bath.
It's not wrong.
Alhamdulillah,
inside inside inside the the sunnah of the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he did
take a bath or,
wet his his head with water because of
the heat when he was fasting.
So it's not wrong for you to take
a bath. Anyway, if you take a bath
and you open your shower and you,
nobody knows.
That is for the man, but our sister
also, when the husband went to work, the
children go to school.
You know, the the the sahur
food is still there.
So tasty.
If she put the rice open, ponita hari
ini, and the television,
and eat. And when the husband came back,
the saulau is still there. No no no.
Finish. All this foil, but she ate already.
Nobody knows.
The tinted inside your car, you know, you'll
have your car tinted, so black. If you
have,
you know,
drink inside your your car, nobody knows.
But you are not doing that, you can
see that people can be sick, you don't
pray. What?
What what happened? It's okay all the time.
You don't fast. Who says so?
They become angry.
Everybody is fasting.
You don't say it to somebody, you are
not fasting.
It's insult. But you can say, you are
not praying. Yes.
I remember I came back from from from
Turkey, Istanbul,
our tour guide, he said we Turkish
people, we don't pray 5 times,
we don't,
we we we we drink
liquor,
but we don't eat pigs, because swine,
pork. Because he had, because
some of our group asking them whether the
meat is halal.
He said, oh, he said no no no,
we Turkish people, we don't play fun times.
We drink, but we don't eat pork.
You know, breaking, like, is actually a good
thing. I don't know why.
So so the thing is you you can
say about fasting.
People will will feel insult to be say
that, not fasting,
but you can have to ask even when
you tell your child to fast, you have
to remind your children
that you actually not being observed by me,
your mother,
the people is observed by Allah.
That is the feeling of taqwa,
that is the thing that our sheikh said,
Islam, Iman and?
Yes. What is your son? Your son is
that you worship Allah
as if you are seeing Him.
You are worship Him
as if you are seeing Him
if you don't see Him you know that
he is seeing you.
That is the thing that Allah wants you
to have, because piety or become a muttaqin
is so important
because you're
ran
by the sight of Allah. It's not because
of the many prayers that you pray,
not the fasting
that you fast, not the charity that you
give away.
The Gautre said in Suratil Hejorat,
verse number 13.
Inna
The most noble person
among you in the sight of Allah
is the most
pious
upon you. The most muttaqin, the most have
taqwa,
that is the most
the most noble
in the sight of Allah,
not because of anything else because if you
pray, you don't fear Allah, what is the
benefit?
If you fast, you don't fear Allah, what
is the benefit?
Because it is actually the way the old
fellow want to make you feel the feeling
that you are being observed by him.
Now people actually like these days, when you
are doing something,
you start to look around.
Is there any CCTV?
You are doing something silly, you don't just
do it these days. Even you want to
do something, you look at the the car
behind you, whether they have the camera or
not.
People who are afraid of the camera,
but doesn't have the fear
towards the one that will really count for
everything that you do.
Allah is the one that counting everything.
So to have that fear that is the
benefit of your
Ibadah.
That is your act of worship goal that
you have to really think and and compare
yourself from day to day. You can you
can feel that. You want to do something?
To open your phone. To read something silly
to do, something not good.
If you have the feeling, then
If you are alone in front of others,
you don't do.
Uncle, uncle, look, you know,
you don't do that.
But when you are alone,
that is the feeling that you have to
have. Allah is watching you. The surveillance of
Allah is upon you. That is the benefit
of your
act of worship, especially
fasting.
Why? Because fasting
for 12 hours,
less or more, you're actually taking care of
yourself.
You want to get angry, I'm fasting.
Allah is watching me. You want to look
at something? Allah is watching me. That that
fear has been put on yourself
all for 12 hours, for 30 days
for 30 days.
You know, when when people ask ask me,
how can you know that your fasting,
your aho worship been accepted by Allah? I
said, you look at the first Shawwal.
First Shawwal you can know.
Why?
Because all the egg worship must have an
impact on your heart.
Because the clean the cleansing of your heart
from the sin, making your sin sensitive to
towards sin.
If if not, because our Talents,
the prophet said about because,
the prophet said, if a person
do a sin, then we will put
a black dot
a black dot on his heart.
When he repent,
he repent the Apostle Jesus of Allah will
make sure that it go away. So if
you are doing idol worship your heart is
being
cleansed
that is the the first part and the
second part the fear must be there
Because you are you always be in the
state of Kakwa,
you have to have that a little of
it a little of it must be inside
your heart For the the morning of Haliraya,
you can
you can, you know,
measure your own self.
How much did I gain
from Ramadan?
If you start
to look in the television, you know all
the artist is doing that and every day
and you know, not wearing anything and you
are, you know, focusing.
Because in Ram
But in first a while, if nothing happened
to your heart, cry.
Please cry,
because you fail.
Because nothing for 30 days, 12 hours a
day,
nothing inside your heart, and you when you
you come to Quiam,
you know, you ate you take 2 hours
more.
How can there's
no sense inside?
Unless, like I said, you don't put it
as a goal inside your act of worship.
You didn't think about that.
Then it will pass away for 1 month,
nothing happened to you. If not, you remember
and wherever you do something, you are fasting,
you are listening, you are giving all your
attention
to gain the goal.
Yeah, I said the first goal
to make sure that your sin is being
cleansed. The second one, to gain the fear
towards Allah. To to feel the surveillance of
Allah upon your heart,
upon yourself.
That is the real goal. So
half Ramadan,
Insha'Allah, still ongoing,
make sure that yourself and
your your your family been reminded about this,
because sometimes you don't see who is looking
at you, you don't see that, you just
pass like that. But when you ask yourself,
Allah is looking at me, then you start
to have that relationship
with Him insha'u'a.
Okay? Hamdulillah.
So we stop here.
May all accept
all our
prayers and all our supplication.
And I ask may I ask all of
you to give du'a
to one of my relatives. He's actually,
the nephew of my brother-in-law.
I still remember that when we were small,
when I went to my sister's
house in Kramak,
the
boy is actually there, his nephew,
around my age.
He's actually really in,
same age as me,
just passed away,
7:40,
after
Iftar,
tonight.
So, may Allah forgive him, have mercy upon
him, and also save him from any torment
of hellfire and also from the torment of
I mean,
I mean,
