00:00:13--> 00:00:14

Before I,

00:00:15--> 00:00:16

start the topic of today's,

00:00:17--> 00:00:19

couple of quick ones. One is

00:00:20--> 00:00:21

I see people coming,

00:00:21--> 00:00:24

and when they start salah, they just do

00:00:24--> 00:00:24

this.

00:00:25--> 00:00:28

Please understand to say Allahu Akbar

00:00:28--> 00:00:31

is the of the salah. This is what

00:00:31--> 00:00:32

you enter salah with. You have to say

00:00:32--> 00:00:33

it.

00:00:34--> 00:00:36

Just this means you drove away some flies.

00:00:36--> 00:00:38

That's it. You're not in salah.

00:00:39--> 00:00:41

So make sure you say Allah.

00:00:41--> 00:00:42

Right? You don't have to say it loudly,

00:00:42--> 00:00:44

but you have to say it. Speaking that

00:00:44--> 00:00:45

is

00:00:45--> 00:00:47

critical. Otherwise, your salah is not you are

00:00:47--> 00:00:48

not in salah. Simple as that.

00:00:49--> 00:00:50

Second thing is that

00:00:51--> 00:00:54

in the Salah, we have some parts which

00:00:54--> 00:00:56

are which are some parts which are

00:00:56--> 00:00:58

recited loudly like what the imam recites and

00:00:58--> 00:01:00

so on and when you're praying on your

00:01:00--> 00:01:01

own in the,

00:01:02--> 00:01:03

salah in,

00:01:04--> 00:01:06

and further recite aloud. And there are other

00:01:06--> 00:01:08

parts of the salah which are silent. For

00:01:08--> 00:01:10

example, when you are sitting at the shahood,

00:01:10--> 00:01:13

that part is silent. Silent meaning you say

00:01:13--> 00:01:15

whatever has to be said, the shahood as

00:01:15--> 00:01:15

well,

00:01:16--> 00:01:18

and so on, but you say it softly.

00:01:19--> 00:01:21

Now, some people have stage whispers.

00:01:22--> 00:01:23

The guy sitting on that corner, I can

00:01:23--> 00:01:24

hear him here.

00:01:25--> 00:01:27

Right? Across the room. No. That's not good

00:01:27--> 00:01:29

because you disturb everybody else.

00:01:30--> 00:01:32

So some guy praying next to you, poor

00:01:32--> 00:01:34

guy, he's somewhere in the and you are

00:01:34--> 00:01:36

somewhere else and, you know, it goes back

00:01:36--> 00:01:38

and forth. So don't do that. Make sure

00:01:38--> 00:01:40

that your salah does not disturb anybody

00:01:40--> 00:01:42

else. 3rd thing is in Adan,

00:01:43--> 00:01:43

there are 2

00:01:44--> 00:01:46

very common mistakes which are made, which I

00:01:46--> 00:01:48

have seen here also in other places.

00:01:48--> 00:01:50

1 is when we say Allahu Akbar, we

00:01:50--> 00:01:53

say twice. Right? Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. Now

00:01:53--> 00:01:56

in the Arabic language, every word ends the

00:01:56--> 00:01:58

default is ending with a dama, with a

00:01:58--> 00:01:59

with a pesh.

00:02:00--> 00:02:02

Now when you combine that with the next

00:02:02--> 00:02:04

word as in Allahu Akbar, Allahu

00:02:06--> 00:02:07

Akbar. This is okay.

00:02:08--> 00:02:10

It's not usual. It's not normal, but it's

00:02:10--> 00:02:10

okay.

00:02:10--> 00:02:12

But if you're going to say Allah Akbar

00:02:12--> 00:02:14

and combine with the next Allah Akbar, then

00:02:14--> 00:02:16

if you say Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar, this

00:02:16--> 00:02:17

is wrong.

00:02:17--> 00:02:20

The dhamma has to combine with

00:02:21--> 00:02:22

the alif of

00:02:23--> 00:02:23

the Allah

00:02:24--> 00:02:26

and the shaddah on the lamb. So you

00:02:26--> 00:02:28

say Allahu Akbaru Allahu Akbar.

00:02:28--> 00:02:31

Allahu Akbaru Allahu Akbar. Right?

00:02:32--> 00:02:35

Not Allahu Akbaru. Allahu Akbaru Allahu Akbar. The

00:02:35--> 00:02:37

The second mistake that people make is,

00:02:42--> 00:02:44

Both are wrong. Because,

00:02:44--> 00:02:46

again, Muhammadun by itself,

00:02:47--> 00:02:47

the

00:02:48--> 00:02:49

default is the,

00:02:49--> 00:02:50

the.

00:02:51--> 00:02:53

But when you join it with the Rasul,

00:02:53--> 00:02:53

our Rasul,

00:02:54--> 00:02:56

the shaddah on the on the has to

00:02:56--> 00:02:58

be joined with that. So you say shaddwan

00:02:59--> 00:02:59

Muhammadar

00:03:00--> 00:03:00

Rasulullah.

00:03:01--> 00:03:02

You say, because

00:03:03--> 00:03:04

the

00:03:05--> 00:03:06

makes

00:03:07--> 00:03:08

on the Muhammad.

00:03:09--> 00:03:11

The the the becomes

00:03:12--> 00:03:14

the So leave the rule aside. This is

00:03:14--> 00:03:15

how it is to be said.

00:03:19--> 00:03:21

It is important to do it correctly. Right?

00:03:21--> 00:03:23

So please make sure you

00:03:23--> 00:03:24

do that.

00:03:24--> 00:03:25

Now today,

00:03:26--> 00:03:28

I remind myself when you Allah

00:03:28--> 00:03:29

told us,

00:03:44--> 00:03:46

trials, tribulations, difficulties, calamities,

00:03:47--> 00:03:49

you know, epidemics

00:03:49--> 00:03:51

and wars and you name it.

00:03:51--> 00:03:52

All of those

00:03:53--> 00:03:55

are the result of the deeds that come

00:03:55--> 00:03:57

from the hands of people.

00:04:00--> 00:04:02

People have earned it.

00:04:03--> 00:04:04

They have earned these

00:04:04--> 00:04:06

calamity. They might say, why would I be

00:04:06--> 00:04:08

so stupid as to earn a calamity? That's

00:04:08--> 00:04:09

right. So ask the question.

00:04:10--> 00:04:12

Why would you be so stupid as to

00:04:12--> 00:04:12

earn a calamity?

00:04:13--> 00:04:13

Right?

00:04:14--> 00:04:16

So and Allah says then you might say,

00:04:16--> 00:04:18

well, you know, why doesn't Allah stop it?

00:04:18--> 00:04:19

Because Allah says

00:04:21--> 00:04:22

so that we can give you a taste

00:04:22--> 00:04:23

of the

00:04:24--> 00:04:26

reward or the or the the the cost

00:04:26--> 00:04:27

of this deed

00:04:28--> 00:04:29

so that you turn towards Allah

00:04:30--> 00:04:31

So the fact that

00:04:32--> 00:04:34

Allah allows that suffering to happen for a

00:04:34--> 00:04:36

for a time and nothing is forever. Everything

00:04:36--> 00:04:38

stops at some point. Allah will stop it,

00:04:38--> 00:04:40

but that suffering for a time is the

00:04:40--> 00:04:42

mercy of Allah. Allah is giving us an

00:04:42--> 00:04:42

opportunity

00:04:43--> 00:04:44

to turn back towards him.

00:04:46--> 00:04:48

I remind myself, I knew lots of

00:04:48--> 00:04:49

students here.

00:04:51--> 00:04:52

For everybody,

00:04:52--> 00:04:53

this life

00:04:54--> 00:04:55

while we are breathing

00:04:55--> 00:05:00

is the most critical part of our life,

00:05:00--> 00:05:00

our existence,

00:05:01--> 00:05:03

which began in the end of Allah and

00:05:04--> 00:05:04

which will

00:05:05--> 00:05:05

continue.

00:05:06--> 00:05:07

We ask Allah to make it continue in

00:05:07--> 00:05:09

Jadul Firdaus Wichal.

00:05:11--> 00:05:12

This entire continuum of existence,

00:05:13--> 00:05:15

there is one piece only

00:05:16--> 00:05:18

in which we have been given

00:05:19--> 00:05:21

the pen to write our own destiny,

00:05:23--> 00:05:25

And that period is this period, the period

00:05:25--> 00:05:27

in which we are living and breathing in

00:05:27--> 00:05:29

this world. We did not have this control

00:05:29--> 00:05:31

before we came into the world, and this

00:05:31--> 00:05:33

control will stop when we go into our

00:05:33--> 00:05:35

kabbal, into our graves.

00:05:35--> 00:05:37

So this period is the most important period.

00:05:37--> 00:05:39

And in this period for you guys, for

00:05:39--> 00:05:41

the young guys here, for the students,

00:05:41--> 00:05:43

your current studentship

00:05:43--> 00:05:45

is the most critical period.

00:05:46--> 00:05:49

Because the reality for practically every single one

00:05:49--> 00:05:51

of you is that what you do in

00:05:51--> 00:05:52

these few years

00:05:53--> 00:05:55

is going to determine whatever is going to

00:05:55--> 00:05:57

happen to you in the rest of your

00:05:57--> 00:05:57

life.

00:05:59--> 00:06:00

Barring exceptions,

00:06:01--> 00:06:04

for most of you, this is the absolute

00:06:04--> 00:06:06

critical period in your life. There's no other

00:06:06--> 00:06:08

period in your life which is going to

00:06:08--> 00:06:09

be more

00:06:09--> 00:06:10

important.

00:06:10--> 00:06:11

And also,

00:06:12--> 00:06:14

paradoxically, there's no other period in your life

00:06:14--> 00:06:16

which is so full of distractions.

00:06:18--> 00:06:19

Because this is the time when you have

00:06:19--> 00:06:22

maximum strength, maximum shawat, maximum desires.

00:06:23--> 00:06:24

You have got money. You have got the

00:06:24--> 00:06:26

ability to fulfill those desires, halal mohelal,

00:06:27--> 00:06:29

and all sorts of opportunities right and wrong

00:06:29--> 00:06:31

are available to you. So maximum

00:06:31--> 00:06:32

distraction,

00:06:32--> 00:06:34

also the maximum opportunity.

00:06:36--> 00:06:38

Now whether you succeed or fail, that choice

00:06:38--> 00:06:39

is in your hands.

00:06:40--> 00:06:41

Nobody else.

00:06:43--> 00:06:45

What we have in our hand is the

00:06:45--> 00:06:45

harvest.

00:06:46--> 00:06:47

What we sow

00:06:48--> 00:06:50

is what we sow. What we plant is

00:06:50--> 00:06:51

what we sow.

00:06:53--> 00:06:54

What we will get

00:06:55--> 00:06:56

depend on what we sow.

00:06:57--> 00:06:59

You plant rice, you get rice. You plant

00:06:59--> 00:07:00

wheat, you get wheat. You plant rice, you

00:07:00--> 00:07:02

want wheat, you don't get.

00:07:03--> 00:07:05

Whatever you plant is what you're going to

00:07:05--> 00:07:06

get back.

00:07:06--> 00:07:08

So ask yourself, what am I planting?

00:07:11--> 00:07:13

Ask yourself, what am I planting?

00:07:14--> 00:07:15

Think about this.

00:07:15--> 00:07:17

When you plant a seed,

00:07:17--> 00:07:19

it goes into the earth. What are the

00:07:19--> 00:07:21

conditions there? It is dark

00:07:22--> 00:07:24

and it is damp. It is wet because

00:07:24--> 00:07:24

you are watered.

00:07:26--> 00:07:27

Dark and wet.

00:07:29--> 00:07:30

Now this seed

00:07:31--> 00:07:31

simultaneously

00:07:31--> 00:07:33

grows in 2 directions.

00:07:34--> 00:07:35

You have

00:07:35--> 00:07:37

the plumule, which is the the green part

00:07:37--> 00:07:39

which comes out of the earth, and you

00:07:39--> 00:07:40

have the radical which is

00:07:40--> 00:07:42

the root which goes down.

00:07:44--> 00:07:46

The strength of the plant

00:07:47--> 00:07:48

depends on the growth of which one? Of

00:07:48--> 00:07:49

these 2?

00:07:50--> 00:07:51

The roots.

00:07:51--> 00:07:53

The deeper the root,

00:07:53--> 00:07:54

the stronger the plant.

00:07:56--> 00:07:58

The oldest tree in the world

00:07:59--> 00:08:00

is in the

00:08:00--> 00:08:02

White Mountains in California,

00:08:03--> 00:08:04

and it's a pine

00:08:05--> 00:08:06

which is 4,800

00:08:07--> 00:08:08

and 95 years old,

00:08:09--> 00:08:12

which means that when Ibrahim alaihi salaam was

00:08:12--> 00:08:14

building the Kaaba, this tree was a 1000

00:08:14--> 00:08:15

years old.

00:08:18--> 00:08:19

Right?

00:08:20--> 00:08:21

Now if you look at that tree,

00:08:22--> 00:08:24

the top of it is almost

00:08:24--> 00:08:25

nothing

00:08:26--> 00:08:28

because it's in a very exposed place. It

00:08:28--> 00:08:31

gets blasted by snow and ice and rain

00:08:31--> 00:08:32

and whatnot.

00:08:34--> 00:08:37

But obviously, the root system is so immense

00:08:37--> 00:08:38

and so massive and so strong and so

00:08:38--> 00:08:39

deep

00:08:39--> 00:08:40

that 4,895

00:08:42--> 00:08:43

years, that tree is still there.

00:08:45--> 00:08:45

Right?

00:08:47--> 00:08:49

The reason I'm saying this to you is

00:08:49--> 00:08:49

because

00:08:50--> 00:08:50

cold,

00:08:51--> 00:08:52

dark,

00:08:52--> 00:08:53

and damp.

00:08:54--> 00:08:56

This is the condition of the person standing

00:08:56--> 00:08:56

in the.

00:08:58--> 00:09:01

He it's cold, it's dark, and the dampness

00:09:01--> 00:09:02

comes from his eyes.

00:09:03--> 00:09:05

Where he is weeping before his

00:09:06--> 00:09:08

and asking him for what he needs.

00:09:10--> 00:09:11

So if you want to grow,

00:09:12--> 00:09:14

make sure that you are in that dark

00:09:14--> 00:09:15

and damp situation.

00:09:16--> 00:09:18

That is the situation of growth. That is

00:09:18--> 00:09:20

the situation of strength.

00:09:22--> 00:09:23

Take from Allah.

00:09:25--> 00:09:26

Allah is the one to give. There's no

00:09:26--> 00:09:27

one else who can give.

00:09:28--> 00:09:29

So take from Allah.

00:09:30--> 00:09:31

Make the hand just follow on yourself.

00:09:32--> 00:09:35

Even if you pray, pray that. Make sure

00:09:35--> 00:09:37

that you never miss that. If

00:09:38--> 00:09:39

Allah gives stuff, we pray more. But

00:09:40--> 00:09:40

at least.

00:09:42--> 00:09:44

And cry before Allah

00:09:46--> 00:09:47

Beg Allah

00:09:48--> 00:09:49

for yourself,

00:09:50--> 00:09:51

for your parents, for your

00:09:51--> 00:09:52

friends and so on.

00:09:53--> 00:09:54

And for the Muhammad

00:09:58--> 00:10:00

Muhammad. Where Allah knows,

00:10:01--> 00:10:03

there's no one today

00:10:03--> 00:10:05

more in need of help from Allah

00:10:06--> 00:10:08

than the Ummat of Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

00:10:10--> 00:10:11

So ask Allah

00:10:15--> 00:10:17

I want to end with a story from

00:10:19--> 00:10:20

the told by Abdullah.

00:10:24--> 00:10:25

He said that

00:10:26--> 00:10:27

in one of the battles

00:10:27--> 00:10:28

against the Romans,

00:10:32--> 00:10:33

he said we

00:10:33--> 00:10:34

were like

00:10:35--> 00:10:37

a spot, a white spot

00:10:38--> 00:10:39

on a black bull

00:10:40--> 00:10:42

compared to the army of the Romans.

00:10:44--> 00:10:45

The white spot

00:10:46--> 00:10:47

on a black bull

00:10:48--> 00:10:49

in terms of numbers.

00:10:51--> 00:10:53

And he said some of us wondered how

00:10:53--> 00:10:54

are we going to face this situation.

00:10:57--> 00:10:58

And then he said, we prayed.

00:11:05--> 00:11:05

And we said,

00:11:06--> 00:11:06

You,

00:11:22--> 00:11:24

And he said, we saw the sky open

00:11:25--> 00:11:27

and we saw the angels descend

00:11:28--> 00:11:30

and we saw the sun shining

00:11:31--> 00:11:33

on the pikes of the lances that they

00:11:33--> 00:11:33

were carrying.

00:11:39--> 00:11:40

I remind myself and you,

00:11:41--> 00:11:42

it is the same.

00:11:45--> 00:11:46

It is the same Muhammad,

00:11:47--> 00:11:48

son of God.

00:11:51--> 00:11:52

What has changed?

00:11:53--> 00:11:54

Are these hands?

00:11:56--> 00:11:58

These hands have changed.

00:11:59--> 00:12:01

The hands of the Sahaba

00:12:02--> 00:12:05

were hands which were raised before that

00:12:06--> 00:12:07

in the obedience of Allah.

00:12:09--> 00:12:10

Their hand which were raised

00:12:11--> 00:12:13

to fight injustice,

00:12:14--> 00:12:15

to help the weak,

00:12:16--> 00:12:18

to give charity to feed the hungry.

00:12:21--> 00:12:23

There were hand which were raised in Dua

00:12:23--> 00:12:24

and in Salah.

00:12:25--> 00:12:27

Hand which were raised in the

00:12:27--> 00:12:29

sunnah of Allah

00:12:29--> 00:12:32

So when those hands and those voices were

00:12:32--> 00:12:32

raised

00:12:33--> 00:12:34

calling for the help of Allah,

00:12:35--> 00:12:37

the angels recognize that.

00:12:38--> 00:12:40

This this is a familiar voice. We've heard

00:12:40--> 00:12:41

it before.

00:12:42--> 00:12:42

Europe,

00:12:43--> 00:12:44

help them.

00:12:46--> 00:12:47

Today,

00:12:49--> 00:12:51

our hands are raised with injustice.

00:12:51--> 00:12:52

Our

00:12:52--> 00:12:54

hands are raised as oppressors.

00:12:55--> 00:12:58

Our hands are raised in disobedience of Allah.

00:12:59--> 00:13:01

Our hands are raised in chasing the Haram.

00:13:02--> 00:13:04

And then we say, you Allah, you Allah.

00:13:06--> 00:13:08

We are Haram. Be it Haram.

00:13:13--> 00:13:14

And then we say, why is the help

00:13:14--> 00:13:15

of Allah not coming?

00:13:16--> 00:13:17

The help of Allah is for the Ummat

00:13:17--> 00:13:18

of Muhammad,

00:13:20--> 00:13:22

and the Ummat of Muhammad are those who

00:13:22--> 00:13:24

who obey and who make itiba of Muhammad

00:13:24--> 00:13:25

sallallahu

00:13:25--> 00:13:26

alaihi

00:13:27--> 00:13:27

salaam.

00:13:28--> 00:13:30

I remind myself and you, let us get

00:13:30--> 00:13:30

into that.

00:13:35--> 00:13:37

Let us get into this

00:13:38--> 00:13:39

group of people

00:13:40--> 00:13:42

who are called the of Muhammad

00:13:47--> 00:13:47

And then,

00:13:49--> 00:13:50

Allah has not changed.

00:13:51--> 00:13:52

Allah will never change.

00:13:54--> 00:13:55

When you raise your hands,

00:13:58--> 00:14:00

watch out for the incoming angels

00:14:00--> 00:14:02

because they will come.

00:14:03--> 00:14:04

They will come.

00:14:07--> 00:14:08

I ask Allah

00:14:08--> 00:14:09

to

00:14:10--> 00:14:11

help us. Ask Allah

00:14:11--> 00:14:13

to make us

00:14:14--> 00:14:15

sabbath. Ask

00:14:15--> 00:14:17

to make our feet firm in his obedience.

00:14:18--> 00:14:18

Ask

00:14:19--> 00:14:21

to open our hearts to his door.

00:14:21--> 00:14:22

Ask Allah

00:14:22--> 00:14:24

to forgive us. Ask Allah

00:14:25--> 00:14:27

to give us the opportunity to please him

00:14:27--> 00:14:29

and to enable us to please him and

00:14:29--> 00:14:30

to and to be pleased with us.

00:14:30--> 00:14:31

I ask Allah

00:14:33--> 00:14:34

to help us to do that which is

00:14:34--> 00:14:36

beneficial for us and which is pleasing to

00:14:36--> 00:14:38

him and save us from that which is

00:14:38--> 00:14:39

us.

00:14:38--> 00:14:39

us.
