Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa salatu salam ala rasulillah, Mia even mousseline, Allah Allah He was happy as may provide.
My dear brothers and sisters and elders
we continue with this series of bars on tarbiyah with Ischia.
And inshallah this will continue for the next several weeks.
Allah subhanaw taala sent His messenger salallahu alayhi wa sallam
by telling, but to teach by showing and by demonstration,
and he Jalla Jalla Allah who said about him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, lockup gala comfy Rasulullah he was Wotton Hashanah, for whom? live in Ghana Yaga la while yo ma Kira was a Corolla Hakata.
And so
Allah subhanaw taala said indeed, in the Messenger of Allah,
Allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. You have a good example to follow, for the one for him, who hopes in the meeting with Allah and the Last Day and remember Allah subhanho wa Taala greatly.
Allah subhanaw taala not only told us that his messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is the best example for us to follow, but specified that this is only for those who hope to meet Allah. And remember Allah subhanho wa Taala very much. I remind myself and you that only the one who hopes for something good in a meeting will hope for that meeting.
Let us try to understand and reflect on the meanings of the specific word that Allah subhanho wa Taala has used in the Quran, Allah said You're
the one who hopes to meet Allah,
the meeting with Allah subhanho wa Taala is inevitable. For the one who hopes and the one who does not hope it doesn't make any difference. Everyone, if he was created, if she was created, will die and will meet Allah.
There is absolutely no doubt about this, whether we believe it, or we don't believe it makes no difference.
The outcome will happen. And that is the nature of reality. Reality is that which does not depend on belief for its existence. Reality is real, for those who believe, and for those who don't believe.
But what is the benefit of believing the benefit of believing Is that the one who believes prepares for that reality. And the one who does not believe deceives himself and continues to say that this reality is not true, until he faces it, and that facing of the reality is inevitable. And there is nothing on the face of this planet which can change that.
And that is the meeting with Allah subhanho wa Taala.
And here in this ayah, Allah subhanaw taala showed us how to ensure that our meeting with him, which is inevitable, can be good.
The first thing therefore to ask ourselves, and this may seem like a stupid question to ask. But it's serious. And it's a very important thing to ask sometimes these stupid questions because we live in this world as if this question is a given, but it's not a given if you look at our lives. And a stupid question I want to ask you on myself is, do we really look forward to the meeting with Allah?
Seriously ask this question, sir and say Do I look forward to meeting Allah?
An obvious answer is if I, if I look forward to meeting with Allah then my life must reflect this so called desire of mine.
Because I cannot say to myself, that I look forward to meeting Allah when my life is going in a direction where that meeting will not be a good one. May Allah save us from that inshallah.
So that's the reason why I think it's very important for us to sit down and reflect and think today, one of the biggest problems of our lives is that our lives have become completely transactional. Our lives have become completely in, you know, interactive, in many, many different ways. There was a time at least when you were driving a car when you add some silence, but no longer today. There was a time when other people were not around you. If you were alone.
That there was some silence.
But thanks to smartphones and stupid people, that also is God.
Right I mean, we have all forms of gadgetry
which is supposed to help us to communicate. But you know, and I know that we have the communication gadgets, but we do not communicate any longer
our communication sticks,
we have to change this, because if our mind is constantly bombarded with sensations, whether it is visual sensations, or audible sensations are sound, or talk or have videos, or, or whatever, if the mind is constantly bombarded with this, then the mind has no reflection time, the mind has no time to think the mind has no time to reflect.
And that is a source of all evil, the source of all evil is that we have no time to reflect.
And that is the reason why in the days of old when tarbiyah was
was the norm.
The share would make you simply go and sit under a tree and do zakharova Allah subhanaw taala nothing else is go and sit in one place, whether it is under G or wherever, sit quietly and do the vicar of Allah.
And that Vicar of Allah is not counting that as we know because that again is a problem. Because now you're focused on the numbers. And you're not focused on what you are saying you are not you're not saying Subhana Allah and trying to experience and understand so Han Allah, you are focused on whether it is 33 or 34 or 100 or whatever it is accounting, so the purpose of that vigor is lost. Because you know you are counting numbers.
And not saying the VFR to me and so on, which is specific numbers by by all means do that I'm not talking about saying the purpose of Vicar of Allah subhanho wa Taala is to remember Allah subhanho wa Taala is to get the glory and majesty of the astrology for the light Allah into our being, not to count some number.
And that is why this reflection is very, very important.
That's why I began this whole series of
basically for my own benefit. And if it benefits you also Alhamdulillah which is to remind ourselves that the day when we meet Allah subhanho wa Taala is very close. It's very close. Just yesterday, one of our elders, the Amir of who was here had Marana Neva la casa de la he passed away, make dua that Allah subhanaw taala should give him genital for those who Allah already is up and should give syrup to his and give gifts over to his family.
Then I spent his whole life
trying to struggle and work for the vino Allah.
The time comes for everybody, for the old ones and the young ones and the good ones are the bad ones and everyone, no one, when the navvy of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam died, believe me, no one else is going to live. If there was one person in the whole of creation, who Allah subhanho wa Taala could have and would have given eternal life. That was Muhammad Mustafa sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
But he was given a choice. And he came in in the hood, but he gave on the Thursday before he passed away. He passed away on Monday, the Kaaba that he gave on a Thursday in the masjid another way.
He said, sallallahu alayhi wasallam there is a slave of Allah, who Allah subhanho wa Taala gave a choice to
and Allah subhanaw taala gave this labour choice that he can live in this world as long as he wishes
or he can meet Islam.
And the slave chose to meet his
Alanna was sitting in front he started weeping.
And azova said that we thought to ourselves, why is his old man crying for what?
A slave was there? And, you know,
maybe some lesson for us. Why is it oh man weeping.
And on Monday they knew why
Delano was weeping. Because all that huduma Masjid. There was only one man who understood what rasulillah salam was referring to
that slave was himself.
The slave about Allah subhanaw taala my sleep is sleep.
What a solo ad is messenger sallallahu alayhi salam, Salam O Allah,
Allah Allah Muhammad Rasul Allah, Lita, Allah, Allah, Allah.
Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah Muhammad, Allah Allah, Allah, Allah
My brothers sisters, Allah subhanaw taala sent His messenger Salam ala, as I mentioned,
to demonstrate
and
to create a model that if we follow that model and we ask Allah subhanaw taala to give us to follow this beautiful model that Allah sent us.
And for those who follow that model, then that meeting with Allah subhanho wa Taala which is inevitable, will be insha Allah has done a very good meeting.
I therefore, remind myself when you to follow the sun as much as we can, because we want our meeting with Allah subhanho wa Taala to be good. Please remember that deliberately disobeying the Sunnah is a major sin, it is one of the Kabbalah, which if persisted in, can lead to over to denial.
Selective obedience is disobedience. deliberate disobedience is rebellion.
What distinguishes a mistake from a crime is consciousness. A mistake committed deliberately is a crime. One is forgivable. The other is punishable. Same rule for this world. And same rule for the ACA. As I told you, I don't make the rules. I don't break those. It's not my role is the role of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
it's incumbent upon the humanities of the soul,
on the humanities of this role, therefore, that they look to themselves to see what examples they are creating for their own families, their associates, their employees, their employers, and their friends to follow.
Then Avi was sent as an example to all of mankind. And the owner of this Navy was given this job of carrying on this duty, this great honor of being examples for all mankind till the last day. And therefore, if we are the oma to Muhammad Rasul Allah is Allah Allah, Allah and inshallah We ask Allah to count us all among the true mercies of Mohammed Salah is Allah, then it automatically the moment you say I am an oma to mama salon, automatically the work of Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam becomes incumbent on us. The minute I say I am an oma to Mohamed Salah Salaam. I have accepted the work of Mohammed Salah Salah, what is the value of this? The title of this is the use of where Allah
subhanaw taala said to Ravi Salalah alayhi salam, he taught Rasul Allah Salallahu alaihe salam how to introduce himself. And he said say who have he severely? Ill Allah, Allah wa sirotkin anna, Amanita, Bonnie,
let's say that it is my way to invite towards Allah subhanho wa Taala with proof with clear evidence, and I do this work and those who follow me do this work. It is a conditional statement. If somebody says I am an oma to Muhammad Salallahu alaihe salam, but I will not do the work of Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, then automatically you have removed yourself from the people who are the Buddha Bane or Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam who are called the sumati.
So let us make intelligent choices.
So let me see. Let me therefore tell you, I'm talking about the examples that we create.
The examples that we create in this world.
So let me tell you what I have seen personally. Analyze witness, I'm not cooking up these stories. These are actual experiences that happened to me.
I was in one large family gathering.
A young teenage boy maybe he was 13 or 14, came to me and whispered in my ear.
He said tell them not to eat up other people's lands.
I was in this family gathering and I was supposed to give a talk. And this 13 or 14 year old boy, he gave him whispered in my ear he said our uncle, tell them not to eat up other people's lands and properties.
Tell who his own family people his own uncle's his own parents.
The family gatherings.
I was in another family gathering and this was part of an arbitration that I was conducting. Very large business family, very wealthy.
And we have finished half a day of discussions and
listening to you know, whatever happened in such gatherings of interactions between the brothers and cousins, and then we broke for salah and lunch. And during lunch, I was at the buffet, one of the young boys, who was there, one of the Navy was one of the young boys. He came and whispered in my ear, he tell them he said, Tell them to fear Allah.
Little boy, he just tell them to fear a lot. They're fighting as if they will stay here forever.
Who's he talking about? his own father. He's one of those.
Again, small boy. He tells me Tell them to fear Allah. They are fighting as if they will stay here forever.
Tell me my brother and sister seriously look into your life?
How likely is it that these youngsters will have respect for their elders?
You think they will respect their elders.
But of course, we have justification.
You and I have justification for all the cheating and lying and slander and Riva and Bing and eating rebar, and eating doubtful chickens and gambling and drinking alcohol and participating in haram gatherings and holding haram gatherings and so on and so forth. We all have justifications.
Everybody's got a justification.
However, I want to remind you on myself that a justification doesn't make a wrong into a right.
justification doesn't make a crime into a good deed.
Those who denigrate and insult Muhammad Rasul Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam have a justification for it?
Are you willing to say it's okay?
Those who burned the Koran had a justification for it.
Are you willing to say it's okay?
Those who are occupying other people's lands and slaughtering children have a justification for it. They are absolutely convinced that what they're doing is Huck, believe me, they do not lose any sleep whatsoever. Isn't it asleep very peacefully.
They have a justification.
Are you willing to accept it?
They have a justification. Just like you have a justification. Just like I have a justification.
That if we are not willing to accept those justifications, why do we imagine the Allah subhanaw taala would accept our justifications?
Think about that.
Please, Allah did not send us into this world to live like animals.
Wake up in the morning, eat some food, go to work, eat some grass, come home. Make a few babies go to sleep. Wake up next morning and drop dead and push up the grass.
This is how animals live. This is not how human beings live. This is definitely not how Muslims live.
Allah subhanaw taala sent us into this dunya with this vision for what? For what? To sell it.
Allah sent us with his deal to live this deal. He sent us with his beautiful then not only to live this Deen and practice it and thereby earn Gen nine ask Allah subhanho wa Taala this for all of you. May Allah give you agenda in spite of yourselves.
Men Allah protect you from yourself.
Allah give us this did not only for that. He gave us this Deen to take other people into the agenda with us. That we tell ourselves that there will be mine
who will have followings who will enter into Jenna behind them bigger than sambia
Allah will give to Barack Obama's Rasul
Allah will give 1000s upon 1000s upon 1000s of people who would for one man to the governor of Georgia then we don't you want to be that

that's what this that's what

A time when you will be seated on a throne of falls under the shower law.
And they will ask Who is this man? Abdullah live Can

Allah knows we are weak
Hello will not hold us to the standards of the Sahaba
a week
I will find excuses to give us
but it is also the son of Allah subhanaw taala that he demands that we take the first step.
So make the Nia
take the first step
and inshallah We ask Allah subhanaw taala the name of his glory and majesty, we ask Allah
in the name of his mercy, we asked him
in the name of his forgiveness, to give us in keeping with his grace and majesty, not in keeping with our work inshallah.
My brother sisters.
So the first thing to ask yourself is not how bad the outside world is. But how good or bad the world inside your home is. Remember that you will be respected if you are worthy of respect. Age does not automatically give you that
chef Sal de la rama said, Boogie bacala cinnabar Sal, de Juan Gary, but the last navall in Farsi
allow us as he said, that bouzouki which is wisdom,
doesn't come by age, it comes by intelligence.
And he said that dungaree which is generosity is not a factor of how much you have. But a factor of how big your heart is.
A lot of common got
the people right to say they say that their diet. And our job is simply to repeat those words like parents,
not to follow them in that
it doesn't automatically give respect, respect comes from character, from behavior and attitude. These are the things with respect.
Respect, my brothers and sisters must be earned. It cannot be commanded, it cannot be bought.
You can command and by
this show of respect, because of your position of authority, you can demand that a person stands to attention when he talks to you that a person salutes you. But we have enough for my friends and elders in the police will know that when you are saluting some people what's actually in your heart.
Why?
Because that person you're saluting are saluting because of force. Because you are part of the police, you're part of the army, you're part of something. And you know, you have to salute. But is there any respect for the person? No, because you see the actual that person see as a corrupt human being is, you know, is if I if I was if I didn't have to salute him, I wouldn't even look at him.
So how can you have so you can have a show of respect.
Respect, respect has to be earned that it comes from it in the heart.
And so therefore, I asked myself and I request you to ask yourself, please forgive me that many of my elders here. And I know that some things I say are against other
but I'm not standing here in my position as our big I'm standing here my position
and therefore it is my duty to say what needs to be said.
I will be very happy and very delighted to give up this position. The last position Allah knows best our last position in the world that I ever asked for is the matter.
But as long as I do it
I hold only Allah subhanaw taala as my witness, and I will say what I know needs to be set.
Not because it gives me popularity or not because they remind me I like it or don't like it.
I say it because that is the role of this position of Sabbath, which is the member of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
Devo I asked myself and asked you to ask yourself, are you worthy of respect?
Seriously reflect and think and say, am I worthy of respect?
In Bukhari, Muslim, Mata Malik, and son tirmidhi,
narrated by Abu huraira, viola one
from Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
And he said, he follows rinomhota taala loves his slave.
He calls jabril alayhi salam and says, I love so and so. Therefore you also love him.
And he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Allah is Allah loves him. And then he jabril alayhis salam calls out in the heavens and says, Allah subhanho wa Taala loves so and so. The name of the person,
the name of the person is called in the heavens. Allah subhanho wa Taala loves also
and therefore you also love him
and the inhabitants of the heavens who are the Malaika also love that person.
And He is Allah Allah Selim said, then acceptance for that person, respect for that person, honor for that person. Love for that person is established on the earth.
And you will find that people who did not even know you, people who never met, they honor you, they respect you, they love you.
And then we Salazar SLM, continued and said that if Allah subhanaw taala, hates a slave of his,
the same process is repeated. He calls gibreel alayhis salam and says, I hate so and so.
So you also hate him.
And then liberally Salam calls out to the inhabitants of the heavens and says Allah subhanho wa Taala hates so and so. Therefore hate him. And he also lies lol is lm said so they hate him. And hatred is established for that person on earth.
And his hobbies is collected and
narrated in Muslim Bukhari, Mothma Malik and Xena Dermody.
The key message from this is the fact that the love or the hatred of people, honor or humiliation is a result of obedience or disobedience of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
It's not a result of popularity, it's not a result of how many people you please It's a result of the rub you please or you don't please.
popularity and respect does not come from the people we please.
Well, I don't know what more example we want of this than to look at our own politicians,
the people in politics, what will they not do to please their electorates and to play to please the vote banks before the election.
But which politician is actually loved and respected, even by the ones who vote for him?
Today in this world, if I just asked you to name for me, three people in politics, who genuinely respect I don't know whether whether we even have three names globally.
Or not even talking about Muslims, anybody. globally. I don't even know whether we have three names of people that we can name, who we can say that truly I respect this individual, and I want my son or daughter to be like that person.
We have reached the bottom of the pit and we're digging.
My brothers and sisters, Allah subhanaw taala honors those who obey Him and dishonors and humiliates those who disobey Him
and to do either
to honor or to dishonor. Allah does not need to change even their worldly condition.
Allah subhanaw taala can bring honor to the poorest person in his heart
and He can bring dishonor to the wealthiest
The most powerful dictator and the most powerful President and Prime Minister, while he's still sitting in his presidential palace, Allah subhanho wa Taala can dishonor them and humiliate them in their seats of power. And Allah subhanho wa Taala can give honor to the one he wants, in whatever state
of material deprivation that person might be living in.
And therefore my brothers and sisters and elders, the most important thing about therapy is to accept that it begins at home.
Many of us like to talk about how society has become corrupted and your rights.
We like to talk about how ethics and morals have become eroded to the point of almost disappearing from our experience and discourse.
We like to talk about how promiscuity and shamelessness is the order of the day, we realized we like to talk about how lying and cheating are not only no longer criticized, but actually applauded as being smart.
We like to talk about how those whose responsibility it is to uphold the law, have themselves become its most prominent destroyers. We talk about how the world is devoid of compassion, of other our respect, of dignity, of honesty, of integrity, and of truth.
We read about rapes and murders daily until we have become desensitized to these horrors.
This is the world that we created. And this is the world that we have handed down to our children.
Now specifically talking to my generation,
this is the world that we created.
And this is the world that we handed down to them,
to our children. Make no mistake, our children didn't have any hand in creating the world that they inherited from us.
They're not the creators of that world. We are the creators.
And this is the world that we complain about.
We complain about all these things that our children are exposed to in the outside world.
But how many of us ask the question, What are my children exposed to inside my home?
We asked this question. We talked about what will happen to my child he goes to this school, that college that university, what is the atmosphere? Where What are his friends? Like he's going here going there? But do we ask this question and say, when my child comes home?
What is he or she exposed to? Inside my home?
We ask this question to ourselves and say, am I the best example for my child's? Can I say to my child be like me?
The Sahaba said this to everybody who know Miss Lara, be like us, I'm saying can you and I say that even to our own children?
Be like me.
And if I do say to my children be like me, will the child accept that statement?
Or is he going to fall down laughing?
Me Like You.
Seriously, I request you ask yourself this question. And I asked myself also these questions.
Because there's absolutely no use, coming and listening to us, and going away with some good feeling under the law, nothing wrong with that. But if there is no change in our life, if there is no change in our attitudes, if there is no change in our behavior, if there is no change in what comes out of our mouth.
If there's no change in the actions that come out of our hands, then Believe me,
this experience of sitting in a hot bath is utterly useless. Not only is it utterly useless, it is a witness against you on the Day of Judgment.
I ask Allah subhanaw taala to to protect us from that. ask Allah subhanaw taala to enable us to benefit from these sessions. I asked Allah subhanaw taala to reward you for coming, to reward you for listening and to help you with his power to bring about change in your life such that your lives will become beacons of guidance, not only for your children, but for the children of the world. But for everyone who comes into contact with you have a God Allah subhanho wa Taala should guide anyone who comes into contact with you. ask Allah to guide anyone you speak to anyone who speaks to you. Anyone who looks at you, anyone who comes in your presence. Anyone who even sees
Anywhere, anyone who even walks on the path that you have walked up, ask Allah subhanaw taala to be pleased with you, and to grant you the company of the Gambia and the Olia of Allah subhanho wa Taala. On the day of judgment, ask Allah subhanaw taala to give you the shade of his arch and to honor you on a day when the only honor will be with a loss of honor with Allah Allah Allah. Allah Allah Allah, Allah will Karim Allah Allah He was savage may be erotica, Muhammad
