Alhamdulillah brothers and sisters,
may the mercy and the blessing of Allah
be upon all of us
till we meet Allah
not only in Ramadan
but we hope his mercy
and his blessing
continue.
Brothers and sisters,
we have been trying our best to remind
ourselves how to be a better Muslim,
how to develop a strong relationship and love
to our Prophet Subhanahu Wa Salam,
because without doing that we are going to
fail
in our life here and the hereafter.
We always been reminded every time when we
start our prayer
to recite Surat al Lufatiha.
Without fail,
every single day we ask Allah, oh Allah,
guide us.
Guide us to the straight path,
to the right
path.
We hope that whatever we are saying is
not just
lip service,
recitation
not just recitation
now.
We mean,
we mean it for allah.
We really hope
allah,rubal,amin,
will answer our prayer,
and we believe that
he is responding.
When you see the changes in yourself,
you are going back to Allah
and the teaching of his
beloved prophet Muhammad, sallam,
without feeling
fear,
being pressured but because you love to do
it,
then we are almost on the way. Alhamdulillah.
We just have to make sure that our
commitment
to this du'a is
is the
comma, consistent.
You ask a more
for guidance consistently,
so you must make sure that you follow
his guidance
consistently
wherever you go.
Not only when you are here,
wherever you go, be proud.
Be proud to follow the sunnah of the
prophet, son of Muhammad.
I'd like to share with all of you
some beautiful hadith.
In Sahih Muslim,
and Abdullah ibn Masood
Ibn Umar's oath
is sharing with us one of the beautiful
sayings of our prophet Surma Musa Nada,
prophet
mentioned 1400
years ago,
no prophet
was sent
by Allah
before me except Allah
will prepare for them
a group of companions
known as
the Hawa Reun,
meaning
before Allah wanted to send a messenger,
Nabi,
he prepared for them
a group
of Hawayun.
Who are the Hawa Riyun?
That means a group of
companions who will be ready to follow their
sunnah, whatever the prophet want them to do,
they are
That's all.
Very committed, very sincere.
Anytime they are ready.
Never once they will say,
when I have free time, no, next time,
sometime, no, no,
anytime
on time I'm
ready.
Then
the prophet continued,
after that generation
then
you
have experienced another kind of group,
who claim to be the followers of that
particular prophet,
who claim to love the prophet,
but they will see
what they don't do.
I want to follow sunnah, but they don't
care with the sunnah. They love
Bida.
I want to follow the prophet. Every time
you say, yeah, I love the prophet, I
salawat on the prophet, you don't even make
salawat the way he taught you.
You want to create your own salawat.
How can you do this?
It's like
if an instruction is given to you to
follow,
you come up with your own instruction.
What is going to happen?
Allah,
so true the word of the prophet,
and they would like to do a lot
of things that not been taught by prophet
Muhammad, not been commanded by him.
Create a lot of confusion.
The one that the prophet want you to
do, you don't do,
simple, whatever the prophet want us to do
brother and sister, always a very simple,
booth, there is paper,
Remember the saying of the prophet where we
share with all of you?
Is that easy?
Easy. Islam?
Continue. Islam?
Continue.
Okay. Maybe we are tired.
And there's 1,
a short one too.
Yeah.
It start with people
who like to eat something next to chicken,
then they can start with duck,
But that is not the duck that we
love to eat.
That means abandoned.
Lift down,
now you remember now, alhamdulillah.
Mean, who's near Islam?
Java, tomorrow
your memory will come back.
Yeah. We'll keep on praying that you have
a strong memory
to memorize
simple saying of the prophet,
so now the prophet is saying that
after that group of hauarius,
you still have the followers
but no more,
no more committed
to the teaching of the prophet.
They will say this, say that great nonsense,
misleading
other people,
and they'll just like to do a lot
of things that was not taught by the
prophet.
Is that happening today?
Even the last 10 nights, we had the
Iqtaq,
we have so many other things
to strengthen
your last 10 nights,
but they don't do what the prophet want
them to do.
When this happened, now that's where we come
in.
The prophet said,
how to qualify ourselves to become a true
believer again,
Whoever have authority
you will stop
all this nonsense with your authority.
You are a movement.
Do we have authority on ourselves?
You cannot say I have no authority.
Nobody bothers about yourself.
You pray, you don't pray, you fast, you
don't fast, nobody comes after you, don't worry,
you have to decide.
You cannot say I have no authority upon
myself.
Where the prophet has said
every single one of us
have a responsibility
and have authority
upon yourself.
Do you have the
the authority to sleep when you want to
sleep?
It's you.
Do you have the authority to eat when
you want to eat?
Do you seek permission?
You don't seek anybody's permission. Will you call
the authority, sir, boss,
or security guard?
I want to sleep now. Okay?
You don't do that. You just do what
you have to do.
Then you are a mukmin.
Belize you don't have the authority,
but you can speak out,
you can convey the message,
you can share the knowledge,
you say nothing.
If you do that,
you are still a believer.
3rd category,
You are not a speaker,
you are not a scholar,
you don't have the knowledge,
and even
you don't have,
yeah,
the feeling to talk to them.
Hey, this is wrong, Don't do this. Don't
do that. You dare not even speak out.
What must you have at least, brother and
sister?
What must we have?
At least your heart, your feeling, you don't
like what they do.
You don't like what they say.
You hate them
for the sake of Allah.
How can you hate
love somebody who go against the sunnah of
the prophet?
How can you
love somebody
who go against Allah's command, openly
they do it,
At least your heart
feel pain,
I don't have the authority,
I cannot speak up but at least my
heart is in pain now, you allah,
and that is the least that you must
feel.
If you don't even feel with your heart,
the prophet
conclude that
the iman
is no more there,
except maybe still one dot,
a tiny dot
that can help you to
strengthen your iman again.
You cannot be so weak that your heart
cannot resist.
So now we know
we are in
which level today.
If you dare to speak up, still look
good.
You are as a mother, as a father,
you have the authority to decide
for your children.
They are in your house, you have the
authority to check what they bring in the
house.
Anything haram? No.
Remind them
what is this? Do you know that this
is haram?
Maybe they overlook
somebody said, not
haram.
When you know that it's wrong,
you talk to them,
stop them, engage with them, you don't keep
quiet, no.
If a father
and a mother who have full authority at
home,
don't stop
all the bad things, haram things coming to
the house.
Do you know who we are at that
time?
Who are we?
If your daughter can do all haram thing
in front of you, your son can do
haram thing in front,
your husband and wife
can do haram thing
in front of you, and you say nothing,
who are we?
Please share with me, brother and sister,
are you
the how are you?
No? Then who are we?
The prophet said, if you come to that
level,
you are no more a man,
you are a divorce.
You know what is a divorce?
You can learn more about.
You know the status of.
You know the fragrance of jannah is so
strong
that you can smell
the fragrance of jannah
from a very far distance,
but the prophet said
a Duaus is a group of people, they
can't even smell the smell of Jannah.
That is how far they are.
I believe we are not the use.
Maybe we are not sure
what we can do,
coming
to what I have shared last night.
Did I say something to you last night
that I will continue tonight?
Anybody remember?
Yeah?
Anything
anybody remember? Can you remind me?
3 are your homework.
Yeah, I said something, sarat the tawba,
correct?
Because we love so many things.
We love
to eat, we love to do this, we
love friends, we love children,
we love car, we love our work, we
love our home, you just name it.
Now
look at what Allah is telling us
from surah,
tawba was 2324,
Allah said
Now Allah is talking very straight forward to
all of us.
Oh
you who believe, never never
take your
parent,
starting with papa,
because the one who have authority at home
is father, the father figure.
All your family,
your siblings,
as your
counselor,
protector,
advisor,
if
they choose
kufur
than iman.
Meaning if they choose not to follow what
Allah and the prophet want you to do
and they want to follow the east or
the west, you just name it.
Don't ever
take them as your
example,
your reference,
if you do that,
it's like you are worshiping them, they become
so important that you go against Allah's command
and the teaching the prophet because of them.
It's like you are
putting them ahead
of of Allah that they are
more important than Allah, they have more authority
than Allah, what Whatever they say, go even
against Allah.
Then Allah continue.
A
very
strong reminder from Allah
say, oh, Muhammad,
to whoever claimed to be a believer,
If you love
your father,
your children,
no, anything to go with father, children.
Children
also go down to grandchildren,
father go up to the grandparent.
Your family members,
your brother, your sister
become icon for you to follow.
Maybe they become celebrity, you want to follow
him to be another celebrity.
You can choose whatever term that
your partner in life, husband
or wife,
all the family and also
your money, who doesn't love money.
We are grateful that
good
a lot of our Jama'a has been responding
to our
donation
drive.
The more
you give the more you will get back
from Allah. Don't worry,
Allah promised you.
We cannot promise Allah who made the promise.
Just give.
As long as you have the means to
give, keep. Don't calculate with Him.
And your business,
do we love business? Those who have company,
who have some business going on, do you
love to take care of your business?
Yes, you invest a lot. You spend
a lot of people, you do R and
D to make sure your business
will move on, become stronger
and stronger. We just came back from KPJ
today before Margaret to give a talk
And they start very small from Johor,
and they grow
and they grow, keep on growing.
Good, alhamdulillah.
And today they donate
back
to the p p zed.
All together
from different different unit of KpJ,
Hamdulillah.
Yeah. How much they got?
Yeah.
700 over 1,000.
700
over 1,000
was given to BPZ.
Lord,
They don't lose anything.
This is profit that they have made.
I said to them, you don't lose anything.
You're doing for the sake of Allah. Allah
will give you back more than that.
We have a lot of activities that all
of you are aware,
and we always need ongoing support,
and we believe that all of you will
be with us to move on.
The difference
when we support,
we will follow-up with the tarbia,
Quran, and sunnah,
not just give for the sake of giving.
We want to help them
physically,
mentally,
educate them with the right education,
and
spiritually
we want them to be connected to Allah
back and follow the sunnah of the prophet
salam alayhi wasalam.
Whoever
Allah said, you may love your house,
your condominium,
it's common,
that's why you keep on when new year
comes,
new things come in,
new carpet,
new curtains,
yeah, so many new new stuff going on.
There's nothing wrong if you have the means
as long as you have purified whatever
you had to purify, you still have extra
gold.
This
year you can experience
we have new carpet, correct?
How long we have been praying on the
old carpet?
I don't know. I also can't remember.
But Allah gave rescue to some
individual
and they said that has changed. Alhamdulillah.
And you also have a new roof behind,
correct?
Last time we have a different kind of
roof,
Yeah. Alhamdulillah,
when you have something extra,
this is not for you,
it's for the ummah, for the community.
Yeah. What did Allah say? If you love
all these things that Allah have mentioned earlier,
wait wait for what?
Wait for Allah's blessing
if you love them more than Allah and
prophet Muhammad
wait for my punishment
Everything you love other than Allah and the
prophet, Allah is going to take it back
and it will perish.
It won't be there forever.
When we returned back to Allah, we brought
all these things to our family, followed us,
our loved ones say, no problem,
I love you, I love you. We live
and die together, you die, you go by
yourself.
Before you die, we live and die together,
you can say anything.
The moon becomes my weakness, the sun becomes
my weakness. This is all shirk,
don't go and believe,
when you die
nobody will wait for you when you
die. You just have to go back alone.
But who will be very faithful to you?
Who will accompany you brother and sister?
Who will accompany us
when we return back to our lord? Allah.
Who?
Your deeds.
Your personal deeds,
not the deeds done by other people. Your
personal deeds will be fit faithful, loyal to
you, and will be there for you.
So don't
abandon all the good deeds that you can
do,
As for the time of end of this
Ramadan,
you maybe have a week to go,
Try your level best. Can
you imagine?
Whoever loves all the things that I mentioned
earlier which Allah
has revealed to our Prophet,
more than Allah, more than the Prophet
and jihadfi sabiillah,
not fi sabiillik,
not jihad for yourself, for the sake of
Allah
to uphold the teaching of Islam,
I feel good because I feel the Muslims
still love at least the name of Allah.
You still love
When you have a problem about the socks
and silk, we get wake up again, alhamdulillah,
but still somebody is not happy.
Why, why an issue?
We don't allow people to pray with the
name of our Lord.
How do you feel in your name of
your loved one, your father, your mother that
you respect so much, they just go and
put their name, put a photo and put
it
on their shoes. How do you feel?
You don't feel anything?
No big deal.
Then you also become doused.
And non doused cannot allow
something so
sacred to you,
so valuable to you,
and people just treat it like *.
No way.
You must show them that you are not
like them.
They don't care about what they do. We
care for Allah.
I think if people will start to bring
concealer in
our house, I think we declare war.
No way, but this is an animal,
Just chase him out. No.
This animal should not ever cross this line,
but you cannot blame the animal.
He just want to pass by only
If you want to argue,
no no no, don't play with us.
When this is haram, we mean haram,
But that thing never happened, alhamdulillah.
Other than that everything is bipartisan,
everything cross border.
That one, no way.
Yeah, I think we can get crazy if
that thing happened.
No.
Allah ends
by saying, wala hula yaha deel kawmalfas,
Allah do not call us a believer anymore,
start as a believer.
When you love all these things more dear
to you then you are a far seerkin,
that's how Allah end, far seerkin,
not
meaning.
Brothers and sisters, this is something you can
go back tonight,
open the Torah to Tawba
23,
24,
you just go through again,
read it by yourself,
and you reflect,
ask yourself,
is this happening
to me? You ask yourself,
so that tomorrow you come back,
you remember all the hadith that I shared
with you.
Yeah.
If you don't remember, don't wait until I
ask you,
call your friend,
call the jama'at
can you remember?
Can you share with me again? This is
how you help one another.
What is friend when you don't help one
another?
Remind one another?
Alhamdulillah,
brothers and sisters.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
make us among the Hawa
Reun
who will hold on to the sunnah of
the prophet
and protect
us from zalimin,
fasikin,
and also.
See you tomorrow night.
Last announcement
for God,
Just remember,
you know we have a team called
NMC.
Is that here?
Yeah, this is the contact number
who is in charge of NMC
New Muslim
Community, we have a group,
We organize every Saturday to focus on the
new brothers and sisters
and those who are not yet Muslim
and also for 1 Muslim who want to
revisit
the foundation of Islam.
We always
organize something for our new brother and sister
who don't have family to go back when
Hari Raya comes in.
So normally we'll pray at 8,
after that we try to organize something
for them. For those who have family, who
are Muslim, of course, you are supposed to
go back,
be close to your family,
stay united
with your parents, the elders especially. Don't go
and visit friends yet, visit your parents.
They come first.
After prayer,
alhamdulillah,
yosallam salaam,
everybody is heading back to their
parents.
For those who don't have
Muslim parents
we
are here
as their parents,
so anybody who like to help
participate
in idyllic retreats,
contact
sister Anish
so that we don't overlap.
We see who want to offer this, who
want to give this.
Yeah.
If you feel, hey I want to just
sponsor
for this gathering,
you call her, check with them so that
we know how to help you,
to help us to organize
these activities
for
the reverts
who don't have family
who are born Muslim,
and family
who are Muslim.
So
hope you will try to do your level
best.
Again
we have ended, subhanakallahu
mabihamdiq
just now already,
just salaam alaikum
And then, buddy, can I love this? And
Yeah.
Yeah.
