Muhammad
used to advise and say,
get used to a difficult life. Get used
to a tough life.
He used to say don't mount a horse
from a stationary
standard position.
Leap onto the horse.
You leap onto a running horse.
He say used to say walk barefoot.
Let your feet the soles of your feet,
let them
get used to
walking on a rough surface.
Don't be in a situation where the soles
of your feet are so soft that you
are paralyzed if you don't have shoes.
Get used to
heat and cold.
Today, we live in an environment where
in a in a in a temperature controlled,
climate controlled environment,
where if you do not have air conditioning
in the summer, we feel we are we
are going to die.
I can understand about heat
because in the winter, it is literally
a matter of life and death. If you
do not have heat, then it's not possible
to survive in these in these climates anyway.
But,
summer is not like that. Right? But yet,
this is how we,
we feel. Today,
in the name of hydration, in the name
of drinking water, which is a good thing
to do,
we have got this new trend
of people walking around with, mini buckets,
in their in their in their in their
hands, you know, carrying that. So one one
hand is now useless for anything else.
You're carrying this bucket of water,
which you drink constantly throughout the day. I
mean, completely
you must think about this. You know?
Yes. You should be hydrated, but does that
mean that you have to be like a
tap or something with continuously water flowing inside
you?
The
to say, do not be overly pleased by
easy times.
Do not be overly pleased by easy times.
Verily, gold is tested
for its purity by fire.
Likewise, a righteous
slave of Allah
is tested by trials and tribulations, by difficulties.
He used to say that it pains me
to see born Muslims
chasing the lifestyle of the disbelievers by drinking
and clubbing and so on.
Why do you think the reverse run away
from that life, to the deen of Allah?
Run
back
to your and because
his mercy
overcomes
his wrath.
So don't tempt the mercy the wrath of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
How long will the person be happy with
his worldly life
knowing that his ultimate home is the grave?
I think this,
is,
is something that we need to continuously
remind ourselves about because,
we live as if in this world as
if we are never going to,
you know, to face death.
Because no matter how,
I I continue from what, some of the
advices of
even. No matter how beautiful your face is,
you will still be the food or worms
when you are when you are buried.
Yeah. You will still be
the food or worm when you're buried. So
set aside your arrogance and remember your grave.
The remembering of the grave was something that
Rasool, rasool, rasool, himself did and he advised
us to do.
He said, be
very careful.
He said the the the wisest of you
is the one who remembers his death
most often.
That is something that, really we need to
ask ourselves and we need to think about
and, say, how can I live in a
state where I'm so heedless
that I do not remember my own death?
How can I live like this? Because every
single limb and organ in your body will
speak up and bear witness
against every action that we committed in this
dunya.
So
just think about that. And you say if
if you are
if the fingers
of your hand
with which you searched for,
haram content on the inter content on the
Internet or your phone,
and they are going to be a witness
to say that
I was used for this purpose.
Today, Allah
gave us power
over our bodies,
and the body remains silent.
Our tongue says whatever we want it to
say.
But on the day of judgment, Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala will give
speech to the body
and the body will speak, and the body
will complain to Allah
and say that this man or this woman
made me do things
which were haram. I didn't want to do
them, but I was under the power of
this man. So now punish this man.
Not a word is said.
Not a word is said except
that there is a watcher, there is a
recorder by him ready to record it. And,
of course, this includes
everything that you posted,
everything that you put, you you put onto
the Internet.
Believe me, my brothers and sisters,
social media is the biggest trap.
Social media is witness against us on the
day of judgment.
Social media is
azaabajaria for us. May Allah protect us from
this because all the stuff we watch and
all the stuff we post and all the
stuff we
agree with and disagree with and we,
thumbs up for and you put stars for
and you put ticks for,
All of that is evidence either in favor
of us or against us.
We talk about hijab.
Of course, it includes,
the the way of the way we dress,
but in hijab includes the way a person
walks and talks and looks and thinks.
All of it should be done
modestly and it applies to both men and
women. It's not only for the women. It
applies to both men and women
that they must behave in a way which
is,
consistent
with the sunnah of Rasool Allah,
a way of behaving with dignity,
behaving with
modesty.
As far as the sisters are concerned, SubhanAllah,
all I can say is
cover up for the sake of Allah before
it's too late. As today, you are over
the soil, on top of the soil, but
tomorrow you will be under it.
Don't wait. Don't wait for that day.
Yes. Hijab
doesn't necessarily indicate your level of piety,
but it is a fault.
It is a fard.
All of these are excuses
that people,
make up. They say, oh, so what? Hijab
doesn't show.
There are these girls I know, they wear
a hijab, but they do this, they do
that. That is forget all that. Regardless of
what you say, you have to wear it.
This is farr than you from Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala.
Don't play games with Allah.
Wear your hijab
and let that be a sign of your
piety. Nobody said you should not be pious.
You should not be pious. If someone is
wearing a hijab and not being biased,
that's not an excuse for you and that's
not evidence in your favor. You don't
be like that. You'll be different from them
and maybe they will change looking at you.
Wear the hijab
and make sure that you're all surprised.
And when you say hijab, it means not
only covering of the head and and and
the ears and so on on the head,
but also
the rest of the dress must be in
a way must be of a kind which
is not see through, which is not too
tight, which does not show the same shape
of the body,
which does not
show the body itself. It's very important to
dress with modesty and to dress with dignity.
Even though even in the afternoon, they said
make sincere tawah.
Not just for sins that you have committed,
but also for obligations that you have not
fulfilled.
So we make tawah for what we chose
to do
and what we failed to do. Both.
Right?
What we chose to do and what we
failed to do.
Because doing something which Allah has prohibited is
a sin.
Equally
doing something which
Allah
told us,
by not doing that is also the same.
To make tawah.
Allah
told us that.
Oh, you believe, turn towards Allah
with sincere repentance. So make tawba not just
for sins that you've committed,
but also for obligations that you have not
fulfilled.
We ask Allah
to make to take our souls away when
he is most pleased with us and to
make us
of those who are always conscious of Him.
I pray that the comfort of our graves
is more than the comfort of our beds.
Much more, Insha'Allah.
May Allah accept it from us all and
may Allah reward us and put it in
our scales of good
deeds.
