Hussain Yee – Ramadan Reminders #18
AI: Summary ©
AI: Transcript ©
First timers, we welcome you
to
our
centre.
We just remind all the newcomers the way
we perform our kyam here
may be a bit different from most of
the masajid.
What the other masajid
is doing, 2,221,
is the sunnah of the prophets,
sum of Musa.
443
is also
another sunnah,
but
majority of the ummah is not exposed to
it.
That's why we try
to revive one of the sunnah, the forgotten
sunnah.
There are many things in Islam
which the prophet, son of a, sam, himself
does it
and followed by the companions
and the 4 imams,
but later on is not being shared
to a lot of the Ummah,
then we keep on forgetting
the sunnah of the Prophet, Subhanahu Wa Salaam.
We will try our best
to remind everybody
so that we have some understanding,
so that when you experience something new, you
are not passing passing any judgment
and say that
why they are doing something that
we are not following
the norm.
Allah did not tell us to follow the
norm,
Allah did not command us to follow the
people,
Allah did not call us to follow the
majority,
Allah did not call us to follow our
forefather,
Allah said follow
my prophet.
Before we continue
with a short reminder,
let us make a prayer
for the deceased brother of us who passed
away
last night.
Last evening he passed away
and he was buried the same day.
Alhamdulillah.
The prophet sent us an awesome list us
to hasten,
yeah, the burial
when there is a disease. The prophet wants
us to hasten
it, not to delay without a reason,
and that's why people who have the understanding
of the sunnah will try their best to
hasten the funeral.
He passed away around 6 PM,
and they managed to complete the burial
around 10
to 12
am.
Alhamdulillah.
This also happened in Mecca and Medina
Whenever somebody passed away, even at night, at
night,
they'll be ready,
yeah, to bury the deceased.
Now his name is Say Ahmad Sadiq.
First thing,
when we hear anybody
inform us about a Muslim who passed away,
we will say Inna Lillahi
or Inna Ilehi
Orochiun.
To remind us that every one of us
came from the same god, Allahu Bulalami,
whether you're Muslim or not yet Muslim,
all came from Allah,
and sooner or later
we will have to return back to the
creator.
Either you return back in the way that
pleased
him, then you will be happy,
or
you return back to Allah
committing shirk
and on all the people
who died
and still committing shirk.
In the Quran whoever dies committing shirk,
I make Jannah haram for them.
Alhamdulillah, let us make a dua for brother
Sayyed Ahmad Sadiq.
Continue with the dua for all our family
members who have passed away,
those who have been supporting us from the
beginning of this organization
until today,
and may Allah accept our prayer. I will
recite slowly, please follow me to recite this
prayer.
Bismillahir Rahmanirrahim.
Alhamdulillahirubilalamin.
When we ask Allah to forgive
the sin of our brothers
who just passed away.
We never forget to ask Allah to forgive
all our family members who have died as
a Muslim
and also
to ask a lot for forgiveness
for everyone
who are still alive,
for those who are present every night with
us here
and those who are absent today,
the young and the old, male and the
female.
We can ask Allah
also
to make us
live longer if you like,
but
Allah has reminded
us everyone's
life is been ordained by him.
Before we were created,
our death has been ordained.
The only difference
is his blessing will extend
even you live
longer
but if you suffer,
you don't enjoy life.
If you die
sooner
but you enjoy
life healthy,
happy,
that is more valuable.
So we ask, alhamdulillah,
anytime when allah
want
to to invite us back home,
make us have a good ending,
and if Allah prolong our life that we
do not know how more years to go,
we ask Allah
to help us
to become a good practicing
Muslim and Muslim.
Brother and sisters,
last night I do share with all of
you for those who are present
and those who are not
present today they have
seen me last night.
They said
I'm sorry Sheikh,
we are
traveling
back to Indonesia, some of them visiting family,
so I will be excused
for the homework.
I said, alhamdulillah.
It's not wajid, it's just
to
expose
to all of us the important
to know who is our prophet, samumabas.
If we love him,
like how he love us.
He love us to the extent,
brother and sister, none of us
have met him
but he have been asking Allah
when can he meet up with us,
And one of the things that is sure
to happen,
he will be waiting for all of us
in a day of judgment,
and he's the only prophet
that will call
Ummati
Ummati.
The rest of the other prophets
will not have this kind of
shafa,
they will say nafsi
nafsi.
If you go to Adam,
Adam is allowed by Allah to save 1
soul
in 1,000 of his offspring.
1,000
children of Adam.
Adam was only granted to save 1.
We don't know whether we are the 1
or not
because how many children of Adam now? 1,000,000,000
from the time of Adam.
No
Abraham, Moses, Jesus,
all if you go to see them, they
will say, nafsi
nafsi
except our prophet, some of us will say,
he will call, umati,
umati.
To the extent
our prophet sun waslam
informed us that
whoever passed through
Sirat, the long
bridge
in Akera,
and they are going to enter the gate
of Jannah,
they will have to pass through Al akhandara,
another bridge, a shorter one than the first
one. The first sirod
is a long one,
but then
before you enter the gate of paradise,
you have to go through another
short bridge called
Alcantara,
and that bridge
is not easy
compared the first one,
because that bridge,
if anybody who has seen with another Muslim
here,
if anybody
who fast in the month of Ramadan injured
Gabriel said, but he never gained forgiveness from
Allah,
no changes in him,
He's still the same person. He don't care
about the do and don't in Ramadan.
He just abstain from food and drink and
having relationship with husband and wife.
Other than that,
he's still the same guy, gossiping,
bad biting,
lying,
cheating in doing business, and so on,
then
the angel Gabriel said, oh Allah,
stop them from entering
paradise,
and prophet Muhammad said, Amin.
It's a very powerful dua
from Gabriel and the one who Amin is
the best of
mankind, prophet Muhammad sunnahma sallam.
That is number 1.
Number 2,
we know what is going to happen.
The prophet
is going to wait for us
at Kantara
to do what?
To still
trying to give his intercession
to save us from not entering jannah.
You are at the gate, but you cannot
enter until you solve the problem
that you have
among fellow Muslims. 1, if you have depths,
you are myukutal
and you
never settle it here,
you pretend nothing happened,
you forget,
if you already forget may Allah forgive you,
but you pretend to forget
that nothing happened,
they are loaded, okay,
no need, you don't need
anything that I have, then I think he
will say hello. You asked him or not?
Did you ask him
and
tell him can you just
nyat sedaka
or nyat zakat because people who have loan,
they can take zakat, but loan for survival
not loan for comfort.
Yeah.
Loan for survival you can,
but not for comfort.
Why you take the loan? I want to
buy a new car. No no, That new
car you must pay back.
You can still get the secondhand car.
A car is a car to bring you
from a point to point collapse.
Why must you have a new one? If
you have the mean, no problem, Ferrari go.
No problem if you have the mean, Islam
never stop you, the prophet have the best
horse,
some companion
has the best camel, no problem, if you
have the mean.
If you commit zoom to another brother and
sister here,
and you never ask him, you're not humble
to ask him or her for forgiveness,
you will see him, sure to see him
at Kantara.
How good you are, there is your goodness,
but because you caused harm to another Muslim
here, prophet said,
said, Every Muslim to another Muslim is sacred.
His life
is sacred, his property,
money
is sacred, if you take loan you must
pay back
or you see him and ask him to
forgive you.
If not, see you in Akera.
If you don't believe in that you have
to wait
and see what is going to happen,
and also
his
or her dignity.
Every one of us, brother and sister, have
their own dignity,
marua
hardadiri,
you must honor.
You cannot abuse them,
humiliate them,
especially in the public,
you do
that, you have to wait for him or
her
in Alkanthara.
Why the prophet is waiting for us there?
He have bypassed all the test from onwam
and he's going to Sirat
very
fast, and no gate of paradise can open
until the prophet somehow enter.
Why he wait over there?
Because of his love told us that he
want to grant his last shabbat.
If you owe somebody some money and you
don't pay back,
then the prophet
will look
into the case.
If you really want to pay but you
don't have the means,
he will become your guarantor,
He will look at that person who give
you the next day,
and He will ask him
to forgive you,
and he will give him
extra intercession.
Shafa.
See how love loving the prophet is.
Thinking of our future, do we think of
him?
Do we love his sunnah?
We don't care.
Here whoever performed prayer with us tonight, if
this is your first time, you see some
experience,
new experience, something new,
it seemed to be very quiet after 4
karat,
no
special recitation
or salawat,
or what kind of ritual chanting,
we only
do it at the end of
week
and we end with the prayer that we
decide.
That was recommended
by our prophet.
If you learn the prophet, you want to
make zikir, follow his zikir.
Who taught you to come up with your
own Ezekiel? You think Ezekiel is better than
the prophet Ezekiel?
But if the prophet taught us how to
make Ezekiel after 4, after 4 o'clock, we
will do, no problem.
Next time, may you want to do something,
brother and sister,
don't be a blind follower.
Islam
is being perfected by Allah.
The prophet has shown you everything that you
need to know
when prayer is concerned, zikr is concerned and
that's why the prophet always reminds us to
say, Allahumma'a
inmi ala zikrieka,
continue,
washukriqah,
washusni
ibaedatik,
very short,
but very very
important dua.
What is the dua?
Oh, Allah, help me, help me to do
what?
To remember you, I want to remember you,
I want to make Ezekiel,
but I want to make the right zikir,
the zikir that prophet Muhammad has taught us,
don't create your own zikir.
Because anything not taught by the prophet in
Ibadah will not be accepted.
Wrote the prophecy
from Aisha, whoever
does an act of worship
or askar that was not taught by the
prophet, don't ever think that your Ezekiel will
be accepted.
Whose Ezekiel is the best Ezekiel than the
prophet Ezekiel?
The prophet have taught us so many Ezekiel,
we don't even memorize it, and we create
our own zikrs, I'm not stuck with them.
I don't know why
we are so disobedient.
Washukpikra,
you want to thank Allah. How?
Follow the way of the prophet.
You know the prophet,
he worshiped Allah, he made ibadah
to the extent that 2 of his legs
was swollen.
Aisha,
who loved the prophet,
asked
the prophet,
You Rasulullah,
why
you have to torture yourself?
Most of the people are sleeping, you are
still worshiping Allah,
until 2 of your legs
swallowed.
Your sin, if you have sinned, Allah has
forgiven you.
You are guaranteed to go to jannah.
Then why you keep on worshiping until 2
of your legs are swollen?
You need how humble
the prophets answer.
I just want to be Abdan Shakurah.
I just want to be a thankful servant
of Allah,
compared with the nikmah that Allah has given
me with the prayer that I have performed,
it's nothing.
For us very clearly to travel,
See you next year.
But still we are okay.
The prophet know that we can do what
he can.
If the you know why the prophet stopped
praying qiyamur Ramadan, known as traweh, that we
are performing every night in Ramadan,
why he stopped performing this
after 3 night of prayer in the mosque
of Medina.
He prayed the 1st night,
2nd night he came out and prayed, 3rd
night he came, now more sarabah is coming
and join him in the prayer,
after that he stopped,
he never performed kiamrokodai
in the mosque until he passed away,
only 3 nights, Why?
Why?
Because the prophet is afraid. He love us
a lot. He do not want to burden
us
because he saw the response is so
good.
No. So positive from the companion. They just
come and join. The prophet never called them,
come, come Ramadan, come, he never said, he
performed and they saw him, they joined him.
He never stopped
them, but after the 3rd night more and
more is coming and joining him in prayer.
He was worried that Allah will make it
compulsory, because the wahyu is not finished yet,
wahayu never end yet, so he was worried.
See how
loving our prophet,
Should we love him? Yes. Yeah. That's why
we have a group of
our students
from Accra Academy who is here with us.
The parents send them to us,
we have some 30 of 30 of them
also came last few days, now is the
last batch, another 30 plus,
because the parent
want them
to follow the sunnah of the prophet,
sunnah,
as
well. They do miss their parents too,
but the parents sure to miss them too.
Only their parents must be strong.
They love their children, they don't pamper their
children.
Go.
Go and learn.
Go to environment that can help you,
and what we are trying to educate the
children out there is to love the sunnah
of prophet Muhammad, sunnah,
then there will be a righteous ummah,
there will be a righteous son and daughter,
sorry, heen was sorry, heen,
sorry, heen,
they are ready to survive.
You can just send them anywhere.
They are ready.
Wherever they go they
will establish the sunnah,
and Insha'Allah
with the will of Allah if they are
ready
we were going to train them to be
a good day.
A good day is
a good promoter of Islam.
They are ready
to bring Islam wherever they go,
and engage with the not yet Muslim like
how we engage today
with the Buddhist
and the Sikhi scholars.
We have a discussion
after Zohar today
on fasting
to make them understand
the significance
of fasting in Islam.
Alhamdulillah,
they said they have learned a lot.
If they read books
and they share with me one thing, they
ask me,
they said, Datuk,
about
the name of Allah,
that the issue is going on now.
The name of Allah printed where?
Subs.
But the beauty part D. A. Himself said
it's very wrong for people to do that,
but then he asked me how about people
writing the name of Allah
on the shirt?
Writing the name
of Allah
on the back,
and they are going to bring the bag
everywhere,
and chuck the bag, throw the bag here
and there,
and they are going to wash their shirt,
and they are sent into the laundry,
and in the machine they go,
is that okay?
They have a very good question.
We honor the name of Allah not only
by calling
Allah,
but even you want to write anything, even
the newspaper,
even a letter if you want to put
the name of Allah, or the invitation card,
you want to put the name of Allah,
you know,
it's so difficult after that what are we
going to do with the card.
Can we just throw it?
To them also they say if anything sacred
they have to burn
it or shred the paper.
We don't want the word of Allah being
disrespect.
Did they also have that feeling?
And alhamdulillah.
I didn't talk about that. They started to
talk about it.
So it's important for all of us to
understand,
in the future you want to do anything,
please check.
Thing that you want to pass to everybody,
make sure that they think that they can
benefit them
for life, they can keep it, but invitation
card, invitation card for Micah, after that who's
going to keep?
You want to keep? You want to do
collection?
We are going to throw it away.
How are you going to
dispose this? You must learn the other.
Either you shred it or you burn it.
Very important.
Lastly brother and sister, every night without fail,
in the way till prayer,
the second record Imam chose to
until the end.
The ending is what?
What is the ending?
Before you quote
you must
understand the beginning,
is to keep on reminding us as Muslim
and our children,
you want to bring them up Islamically,
you want to dress them Islamically,
You want to teach them how to perform
prayer
according to the prophet way.
You want to feed them, make sure that
they eat halal food.
You want to feed them with any kind
of drink, halal drink.
Do we do that, brother and sister?
Yes.
Next time when they grow up, they want
to work, make sure they work in halal
environment,
halal company
that don't get involved in serving haram thing,
especially
liquor.
Don't let your daughter to work in a
place that she has exposed her aura,
because it's haram.
Haram is not just food,
drink,
dressing,
speech.
You have a company who is involved in
advertisement
and now they want you to come up
with your advertisement,
3 naked lady.
We want to pay for your
for your workmanship, are you going to do
that?
You can't
because it's haram.
This is just an example
so that our children become righteous children.
Understand this aya carefully.
They have their way, we have our way.
The disbeliever
they don't care halal and haram. Money come.
Money come first as long as money.
They don't care halal haram,
but we are different.
They don't care about reba, we can't get
in.
Of course they don't care about Raswa, now
we also are like them.
That's why
corruption become very normal.
They thought it's not raswa, to them they
say give and take,
I rub your back, you rub my back.
Karyasama,
bantu ma bantu.
Why?
You know my people as a Chinese?
You never see a Chinese go to the
temple and go and pray without offering food
first. They must bring something,
offer their deities
whatever God they believe
and put it there, let him enjoy his
lunch or dinner or supper for
after that they make sure that he has
finished
his dinner or supper, they they had their
way,
they took
2 coins and then they hold and shake
for a while and then they throw it.
1 bungalow, 1 kapala, 1 kapala, 1 bungalow,
3 times,
that means he has taken his food.
Now you can ask,
You don't go empty hand,
feed your God first. That is their belief,
and that's why when you want to ask
for any project
they bring you for food first.
Let us have dinner,
let us have some good good time,
then
they talk about business.
To them
that is normal,
to us that is a sign of
corruption.
We hope we are not corrupt,
inshallah.
Our children is going to grow to be
officers,
maybe one day they become minister,
who knows?
We don't know.
Suddenly we become minister and harm them, hope
they don't forget us,
you know.
Brother and sister, before I end,
remember the homework I
I asked you to do last night?
Yeah.
What is the name of our Prophet Muhammad
mentioned in the Quran Quran other than Muhammad
today,
tonight the imam did
recite an ayah, Muhammad
Muhammad the messenger of Allah
and his
followers
are very firm with the non believer, kofar.
They don't compromise, halal halal haram haram,
batil batil.
They don't compromise.
But Muhammad Rasno and his followers among the
believers,
they are very passionate,
loving,
caring,
helping one another,
not condemning one another,
not destroying one another.
Then there was aya recited
by the early imam,
not tonight,
in Surasaf,
what is his name?
Ahmad, alhamdulillah.
It's muhuahmad.
What is the third name
that
you
remember?
Yeah.
