Kamil Ahmad – 7 Ways to Build Your Home in Jannah

			The question is, how can you build for
		

			yourself that house in Jannah? Allah subhanahu wa
		

			ta'ala and his messenger salallahu alaihi wa sallam
		

			have told us of several different ways that
		

			we can build for ourselves,
		

			our homes in jannah. Ways that don't require
		

			much effort. In some cases, that don't require
		

			much time or planning,
		

			but rather it may not even cost a
		

			single dollar. And so let us look at
		

			some of these ways. The first
		

			is the most obvious, and it is the
		

			very condition to enter Jannah in the first
		

			place. And that is having iman and taqwa,
		

			the fear of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		

			The second is patience.
		

			And as our scholars say, patience is required
		

			for the Muslim over three things,
		

			over the commandments of Allah. Allah has commanded
		

			us to do certain things. We have to
		

			be patient in doing those things. The second
		

			is patience in refraining from sins.
		

			Allah has forbidden certain things.
		

			We need to be patient
		

			in restraining ourselves from falling into those prohibitions.
		

			And the third is patience
		

			over the painful calamities
		

			that Allah decrees for us,
		

			painful moment in our lives.
		

			Number 3, migrating for the sake of Allah,
		

			Hijrah, and also jihad
		

			fisabilillah. Number 4, building a masjid for the
		

			sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Number 5,
		

			praying the extra sunun, praying
		

			the sunun arratiba.
		

			These extra sunun
		

			that some of us we neglect, and we
		

			say, Let me just get over with the
		

			salah. Let me pray my fard,
		

			let me pray what is obligatory for me,
		

			and let me go back to my daily
		

			life. You're missing out on Allah if you
		

			do that. Number 6,
		

			salatulbuha.
		

			And so salatulbuha
		

			is from after sunrise all the way to
		

			until before until before Duhr. This morning time
		

			is a golden opportunity to pray 2 rak'ahs
		

			or 4 rak'ahs and build for yourself a
		

			house in Jannah. Number 7, praying qiyamulayl,
		

			fasting in the day, feeding the poor and
		

			speaking only good words.
		

			Number 8, when we come for solatuljamah,
		

			we come here to pray in the masjid
		

			and we are standing in the rows
		

			to fill in these gaps that we see
		

			between yourself on your right and your left.
		

			And so these gaps that we find in
		

			the rows, some of us we don't care
		

			about it and yet we're missing out on
		

			this huge reward. Number 9, good manners,
		

			leaving and giving up argumentation
		

			and giving up lying.
