Brothers and sisters in Islam,
very interesting
conversation,
which happened,
during the reign of Abu Bakr, Subbir, Abu
al Mu'amu,
And,
it took place between,
Talha,
Ibn Ubaidullah
And Omar, Iblis Sattal, and
the one who narrated the entire conversation
is Jabez.
And,
combined the author and Shirk al Bayh authenticated
it. He said it's Hasid.
What happened that,
Omar,
Sultan looking,
a little bit unhappy,
distressed.
What is wrong with you? You're Abba Mohammed.
And he teased them about something. I I
I rather not mention it for for now.
So,
has said no. That is not what is
upsetting me.
But I'm distressed
because one day I heard
the prophet
say something
I didn't understand
what he meant by it,
and I didn't ask.
And
we know brothers and sisters in Islam that
at one stage,
the
companions who are residents of Madinah
were actually banned from asking questions.
Period.
Anas
in more than one narration,
He would say that,
we would admire
a big one who would come out of
the
desert
to ask a question.
To ask a decent question.
Because normally the Bismillah would come and ask
these
superficial questions like, when is the hour and
and all of that.
And subhanallah, if you read
quite well towards the end of it,
when
came
to the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam in
a human shape.
Towards the end of the hadith, the Prophet
asked, Omer, do you know who's this?
This this is Jibreel.
He came because you adhere to the command
not to ask questions.
So he came to ask these heavy
load questions. What is in Islam? What is
in iman? What is in Islam? This was
a reward for you.
Because when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala commanded you
not to ask me questions, you submitted. You
adhered.
You obeyed that man. So Allah to you
to to reward you.
We'll go back to.
He didn't ask because of that reason.
So Omar said to him, what did you
hear Rasulullah
say?
And you didn't understand and you didn't ask?
He said,
I heard the messenger from
I know of a a calima. And and
how do you by the way the word
calima,
anything that is meaningful.
That can be actually a whole lecture. You
say
So anything that is has a meaning. It
can be one word, can be a sentence,
can be a paragraph, set of paragraphs.
Anything like,
Abu
Musa
said,
That's one
kalimah anything that is meaningful
meaningful. So the prophet is saying that there
is a kalimah if you utter
when you're
departing this world, you will receive 4 things.
Number 1, your face will illuminate,
brighten.
2,
the
distress of death
will be relieved.
Brothers and sisters in Islam, the time of
death is one of the heaviest
times
on a human being.
They tell
you the most testy
times on a human,
the 3 transitional.
When you come into this world,
the guru shaitan
steps hits you.
When
you die
and when you are raised up again on
the day
to day.
I need your help those 3 times.
Yeah. That
saying that will
take care of that distress.
Also the soul will experience
peace, solace, tranquility
as it it's being,
extracted out of the body.
And that karima will shine out of your
deeds on the day of judgement.
Will stand out like this. Will will will
will have a shiny
I'm sure all of you can assume that.
Well, this is the attitude of the Sahaba.
You know, if the prophet didn't say it,
I can't say it. So Umar
looked at him and he said,
Look at Ramah.
What greater than the that he begged his
uncle
to utter at the bit of death?
Now we know what's going on.
Is the ultimate success.
Because brothers and sisters in Islam,
this
will do one of 3 things for us
on the day of judgement.
Top of the line,
admittance,
entering Jannah
without rakini,
without punishment.
And I have evidence to validate all of
that. It's just sake of time.
I leave the 70,000 who will enter Jannah
without
To
enter Jannah
without
punishment
but with question.
That you're gonna be questioned. Why did you
do that? Why did you do that? But
there is no punishment.
3, and this is we ask Allah to
save us all all y'all from Hari,
enter Jannah actually after
punishment
and after rakini.
But at least
the one who dies on this
will come out.
And I counted, I think if I'm not
mistaken, 87
Muslim.
Then you die, but as Muslims,
This is the most
important of them all.
That is why Rasul Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam he
said,
When you happen to attend someone who's going
through the agonies of death,
prompt them, ask them gently gently to say
Whoever whose last words from the dunya
is Allah will enter Jannah.
I go back to Abu Talib.
Why Abu Talib did not say it?
Why?
Because it is not just a kaliman.
This kalima, brothers and sisters in Islam,
has to
completely
completely
absorbed you or you absorbed into it.
That you have to live it.
First of all, you have to know it.
Seeking knowledge.
Knowledge
that doesn't just take you to become intellectual
and talking about abstracts of tawheed
and theology and,
you know, and all that stuff. Abu Kalab,
approach,
The things will be a team, certainty.
And after that certainty,
you actually say
it. That's why when someone accepts Islam, we
bring you
you say it and then you comply.
Stay away from haram, stay away from the
haram.
And you do this with love.
You love it.
With truthfulness,
with sincerity.
They call those 7 conditions, 7 keys.
So you have to live those. You see
Abu Talib could have lived some
but
he was heavily
engaged
in the societal
norms, in the culture of his time.
The parents.
Abu Talib, by the way, brothers and sisters
in Islam, he has a line that is
very famous out there. He said,
I know the religion of Muhammad is the
best religion.
I'm afraid they're gonna say, I left Abu
Talib,
the way of Abu Talib.
So he didn't live.
So if you wish
to say this and
you find it handy on the bed of
death, it has to be no life,
brothers and sisters in Islam.
Yeah. And he he had a very profound
statement which sums up what I'm trying to
say. He said,
If you live
for this kareema,
when is
mean, you go to pray.
When you stay away from the haram, that's
living the karima.
If you live for it,
you will die on it, brothers and sisters
in Islam.
But what I wanted to touch on
here
is this
command
in Surat Al Rahman
not to die
but own that kalima
is immediately
followed by another command,
which is what?
Come together.
There is certainly a relevance between the two
verses.
The famous verse, hold hold you to the
robe of Allah.
That's actually the verse that comes right after.
So there is a relevance between unity and
the.
Now we live in a world
where people
have the courage and the guts
to treat you. Don't talk about this category
because it divides us.
We live in a car.
We hear it
as speakers.
This is gonna divide us. As massive fact,
just talk about the things that what?
Unite us. I'm sorry. I didn't know. No.
You see,
hold fast to the robe of Allah
came
right.
Be united, do not be divided. The the
command right here
came right after dying on this kalim,
the essence of the kalim.
And I'll give you another
profound
evidence
from the Quran
and the interpretation
of someone
whom Rasulullah
made
for to interpret the Quran properly and
Adas. Verse number 213
213. Go home.
213 and look at
Mankind,
all of humanity
used to be one single family. Meaning what?
United together.
What did Abdullah ibn Abba say?
So what's united them?
It
wasn't
anything else but.
Then what happened? They went astray.
Abu'l Abbas also mentioned
between because that verse applies there because that
period between
Adam and Nuh,
they all were
himself. He's down in a 150 years. The
10 generations, all of them are.
Do you wanna know what is the first
type of shit that emerged on the face
of this
Subhanallah.
A time that we witness with our own
eyes these days and we find people justifying
it. The great
worship.
5
righteous
people.
Nur. Righteous people, they've asked away, they've they
died. People list them.
Okay. Listen.
People lie to the righteous people. People, they
love them, they just
they they tell you that they are kings
without crowns
because they they are being
they are dominance of the hearts. You see,
maybe the king can dominate the bodies of
of the citizens, but not the hearts.
But you see, those people,
they they dominate the hearts because of the
love.
Who?
Even Kafir, by the way, even Kufar,
they love righteous.
Our worker Sadita, at
Man, I'm leaving your town, man. You guys
are mean to us. Yeah.
Someone with your caliber,
with your character,
with your noble character
should not leave nor he should be expelled.
Come, and I will
grant you that law of asylum,
which is they call it at the time.
And, you will be under mercy. Come.
They died. They missed him.
Shaikhan
seizes the opportunity.
Islam recognizes
that
you may
end
up loving
another person.
But this love
has to be subjected
to the legislations of Islam.
Not because
you lost someone, you go and do crazy
things for them.
Rasulullah
himself,
himself.
Can you imagine that?
He would be approaching a gathering
and the companions are sitting down.
Anas is the one who said that. He
said, we we love him so much so
that we will stand on them.
Comes to
saga every year,
what is their justification?
Love.
Love.
Well,
yeah.
Love, but it has to be what?
If
Don't exaggerate
embracing me like the Christians did.
Otherwise, you will fall into the traps
of
shirk like they did.
That
like brothers and sisters in Islam,
you're loving
Rasulullah or you're loving
any righteous person who claims to be righteous,
because at the end of the day Allah
knows best who's righteous and who's not,
You still have to subject this to
the people of Noah did not do that.
They ended up loving those people. Shaifan came
and utilized this.
Amen.
And and very interesting brothers and sisters in
Islam when you find someone who give you
the ground to do that.
And I come from the US, and we
had a brother there in the US who
by all of a sudden came up with
the idea
that actually invoking
someone who is dead
the grave.
It is all evil. I can count the
things that he said.
Stepping stone. It's
awful.
It's
terrible.
It but it's not shit.
It's not shit.
That means I could do that, and I
have a chance
to be forgiven.
What do you mean it's not shirk?
No. Any
sin in Islam
can be pardoned.
If you see someone drinking, you
can't prove that he's going to *.
So now you're telling me that you could
do that?
Well, that's the that's the most dangerous
consequence
of such a war.
That you're legitimizing,
you're bringing something from
an act that takes a person out of
the fold of Islam
to an act
that's fasr,
kafir, and so forth.
Brothers
and sisters in Islam,
I do all my time.
These calls
for unity
have to be
on the foundation of the schedule.
Otherwise, you're calling to something
that is not real.
Listen if you're talking about me working with
other people,
I can work with a non muslim, I
can work with a kafir, with a mushrik
to feed the people who are hungry.
To combat this agenda
which is damaging the world, the LBGTWXYZ
agenda thing.
I can work with anybody. I can work
with a Christian with a after the disclaiming
his his his his beliefs are not compatible
with my beliefs, but we're working on that
common cause today. I can do that. I
can do that with a Muslim too.
But if you're talking about the unity,
brothers and sisters in Islam,
upon which
you will serve the religion of Allah, you
will impact
this world,
you will spread tawheed
brothers and sisters in Islam.
It has to be on the foundation
of
They tell you,
if you wanna go to the president,
I guess we can do the prime minister
here.
Do you go straight to them?
Don't you have to go through the MP?
MP, right?
Who's better now, the prime minister or
and they use these crazy analogies
to justify that you have to go through
on to Allah to
what? Intermediate.
You can't convey this to this.
You see the the the MP has 2
ears. He can only hear
1 or
2.
But Allah can hear us at all times,
wherever you are.
If the first of you, the last of
you would stand in one place, Eden place,
and each
one of you would make a request.
You want a Tesla? I want a Diva?
You want a Mercedes?
Time and gives
each one of us what we ask for
at the same time.
So how can you convey this with them?
Brothers and sisters, it's time closing, and I
I promise I'll take 5 minutes. I don't
know.
I'm supposed to finish by 2, but inshallah,
5 minutes exactly.
We believe in wasila.
Yeah? There is Wasila in Islam. If you
deny it, actually you're in trouble.
And and there is a a key verse
in Al Ma'ida that
says,
But
who defines the waseer? Who defines the waseer
and who identifies it? Allah and his messenger.
There are 4 ways
to go to Allah.
Number 1,
To Allah belongs the most beautiful names. Call
upon Allah using these names.
So instead of using the names of Allah
to praise him with it. You're
That's is that is that fair?
Is that fair? Allah wants you to do
that with him.
You go to the grave,
cry to someone who is dead,
who needs help.
That's one was he. 2,
your iman.
You believe.
Your adherence. You love Rasulullah.
Don't use that.
Messenger himself as a human.
Use your adherence to him. Your obedience will
Allahumma
shared it with you who got stranded in
in the cave. How did they come out
of the cave?
3.
A supplication
of a living person that you think that
he's righteous.
You think he's righteous.
Because at the end of the day, really,
Allah knows who's righteous and who's not here.
What are the Quran shows if we use
modern day language of Omar Ibn Khattab?
Imagine,
Osama who's
giving left fighting again.
If there is a prophet after.
If Umar moves his way, Shahidlah will move
the other way.
Yeah, Umar,
I want you to go
to Mecca every year
and look for a man, his name is
Uwais ul Karim.
Who's Uwais ul Karim?
He's not my companion.
Omar asking why is to make law for
him? Yeah. That's how it is. Allah knows
best news.
When you ask someone who's you think is
righteous,
That's
all. And you ask him something that he
can deliver.
And and and you ask him
it'll
say that I'm calling upon him. He's in
Africa, and I'm calling upon him. He will
do that.
Unless if you have a virtual kinda connection
with him or something like a phone.
Finally, brothers and sisters in Islam, use your
own condition.
What's wrong with these?
Brothers and sisters in Islam, I love you
all for the sake of Allah.
We ask Allah
to make us amongst those who call
Because upon
calling to tawhid, you're calling to unity.
When you call to tawhid, you're calling to
unity. Don't listen to these calls.
Don't talk about tawhid because it will disunite
us.
It's the other way around. That is the
message I wanted to convey today to my
brothers and sisters in Islam.
