Cassia
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			from my bad idea was on sisters.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			Today's the day of Jamar and I ask a lot from heritage
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:26
			to forgive my uncle Marissa Celebi
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			router Laurie who passed away yesterday.
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:37
			May Allah subhanaw taala Phil is covered with no and may Allah smart Allah make it
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39

00:00:40 --> 00:00:58
			and expand it and prevent and protect him from the punishment of the grave malice murder forgive his
sins. May Allah subhanaw taala grant him genital for those dollar bill at his job in the company of
Rasulullah is another highly hayride idea so similar to
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			ask Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:21
			for all of this and ask Allah subhanaw taala for all of this for all of us, all of you and for
myself when our time comes inshallah and today Ask you also for your dua for my uncle. My arm my
chacha, my father's younger brother,
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			about whom I just mentioned, Mirza Lubbock,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			mother's sister, the man must have been you.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			The biggest
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:42
			two things, one, that death, for a believer is a time of rejoicing for him.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:59
			For a believer, man or woman, the day of death, the time of death is a time of joy for them for the
matter what, because this is the day that they have been waiting for this is the day that they have
worked all their lives for this is the day that they
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:16
			live their lives according to the orders of Allah subhanaw taala and the Sunnah, the method of
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam, they did it for this reason, they did it so that
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:23
			on the day of death, they will meet Allah subhanaw taala in a state where less pleased with them.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:32
			So, though we are sad, because we have been parted from somebody we love dearly,
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:38
			for him or her, it is a day of rejoicing and dill joy.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:54
			Like the end of a race, no matter how exhausted the marathoner is, when he or she crosses the final
tip, it's a day off, it's a time of rejoicing Hamdulillah.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:17
			As far as the people who are left behind are concerned, we take the lesson from a salsa Salam who
said that the heart is sad, the eyes will be tears, but the tongue will say only that which pleases
Allah. So I know that.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21
			So I'd have swayed me remind myself and you that,
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:25
			to wail, to cry to
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			you know, make any kind of that kind of things,
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			to
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:37
			behave in a way, which is not in keeping with the
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			noggin keeping with the
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:49
			dignity of Islam is private.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			So we must never do that.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			The second thing is
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			that I do find myself and use
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:08
			that this time of death of watching somebody in his last moments of death of life.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			watching somebody as they are dying,
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			is and shouldn't be the greatest
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:21
			awaken the greatest reminder for the believer
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:33
			to wash the body to shroud it, to put it in the cavern to place a lateral Janessa on it and to
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35
			bury it
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:40
			and to start by the grave. All of these are
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:47
			moments of reminding
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:57
			very important moments where we are reminded that one day we will all pass this way
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			without exception
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:17
			Without exception, and as I said, the true when the believer dies, it's a day of rejoicing So
Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah that our beloved person died with the man.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:34
			tragedy is when a person dies without him when a person dies without Lila, Hey Lola, that is the
tragedy because then a door opens, which
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:42
			he was never allowed this door open in our lives, that is the door of the anger of almost vanity.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:55
			So before I go further into this, let me just clarify what is the meaning of saying that somebody
died with real * Allah or died without lai lai La
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:05
			La ilaha IL Allah means La Ilaha illa Allah Muhammad Rasul, Niger's, it doesn't mean the one part of
the kalam only first of all to understand that.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:21
			When we say I shall do Allah, Allah, Allah Allah, we are saying, I bear witness that there is no one
worthy of worship except Allah. And when I say Shabana, Muhammad Rasulullah I am saying that I bear
witness that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:27
			is the messenger of Allah and the Last and final messenger after all, that is
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:36
			to say that somebody died with this or did not die with it, or died without it.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			It means that this person believed this in their heart
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			that they said it with their tongue
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:50
			and that they live their life according to it. There are three shrewd there are three conditions of
the Kadima
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:54
			DOES the will occur below
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56
			or below.
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:02
			These are the three conditions the three shoots of the Kalama
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:14
			if somebody does not fulfill any one of these three conditions
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:19
			then the person has not really entered Islam.
		
00:07:21 --> 00:08:00
			Except the shirt, the condition of speaking with their tongue doesn't have to be spoken aloud before
a whole lot of witnesses. That is the usual way in which it is done when somebody says also took
shahada they did that in the masjid. You know, before it is that's okay that hamdulillah it's good.
But even if somebody has said by themselves, this is underlined Shala this is this sufficient? But
if someone just says the caliber without believe, like for example a teacher, a non Muslim teacher
teaching what Islam and this teacher says Muslims believe in a shadow Allah Allah Allah Allah, masha
Allah Muhammad Rasul Allah. So the person has said the caliber, but they don't believe in it because
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:00
			they are not mostly.
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:21
			So there is no does it mean there's no belief in the heart, but only they have just spoken it.
Similarly, a person who may say that they believe it, they might, they might even speak it, but they
don't live by this caliber. Now what is the meaning of living by the caliber?
		
00:08:22 --> 00:09:05
			The first and foremost shaft the first and foremost condition of living by the caliber is to
implement the schema in our lives to act according to it, and that first and foremost, manifestation
of that is the salah. Because when I say Allah, Allah, Allah Allah, I'm saying I bear witness that
there is no one worthy of worship except Allah. So when the time for Salah come to the time for
breakfast time for namaz comes, what do I do? I pray, because I just declared, there is no one
worthy of worship except Allah. So when the time for Salah comes, I pray, if I am saying there is no
unworthy of worship except Allah and when the time for prayer comes, I do not pray. Then it means
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:18
			that I have said just the words of the believer there is no belief in my heart. And this is
disbelief since it is not there. It cannot be shown in my actions which is Salah, and therefore I'm
not a Muslim.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22
			Please understand this.
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:38
			This is not my fatwa, a Surah Surah sallam said I had a lady by Nana obey in Houma, Salah for one
out of the hat of vodka fella Oh guaca Larissa to set up. So let's say that the heroes are these
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:46
			the differentiator, the differentiator, the dividing line, the distinguishing feature, the
signature,
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51
			what separates us from them,
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53
			Allah had
		
00:09:54 --> 00:10:00
			what separates us the covenant, what separates us from them who
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			With us Muslims whose them anyone who's not Muslim.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:13
			What separates us from them is the salah is the prayer from Allah that the one who refused to honor
doesn't do it the one who
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:18
			who does not pray, who has rejected it Takata Guevara.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:29
			That person is a disbeliever he has committed disbelief. That person is a disbeliever. Now what is
clear other than that?
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			So if
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			you say that you are a Muslim,
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:43
			but you're not praying that believe me, stop fooling yourself. You're not a Muslim. You have left
Islam.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:56
			As I said, I'm not pronouncing the fear on you. I'm not saying you are not a Muslim. I don't even
know who you are. I'm just saying this is what the rasa is said to us. The one who does not pray is
not a Muslim.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:10
			So the first thing to do with ourselves is to correct our Aveda which is, shall Allah Allah Allah,
Allah, masha Allah Muhammad Rasul Allah, and to start praying, if you have not been praying, start
praying straightaway.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:15
			There are five prayers which are forth in Islam.
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:28
			Start with that, make sure that you pray those five prayers and to never ever miss any of them. It
is the easiest thing in the world and therefore, there is no reason to
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:29
			miss it.
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:42
			And then we can go further from there, what else we need to do but begin with this. Because if this
foundation is not correct, then the rest of it has no meaning. The second part of believing in the
calibre is
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:54
			earning halal and eating halal. And haram means that every means of earning that I have must be free
from whatever Allah has provision. So
		
00:11:56 --> 00:12:12
			it begins with making sure that you're not buying selling or dealing in any way with what Allah has
prohibited. So any buying and selling of alcohol of cigarettes of vaping products of smoke shops of
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:26
			you know, I don't know all the all the Haram stuff that gets bought and sold by Muslim may or may
Allah protect us from ourselves, all forms of gambling, all of these are
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:31
			haram they are prohibited means of earning, not fit for Muslims.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:38
			Double the line of that most important that is do earn
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:53
			to borrow money on interest to borrow take back loans for whatever it is, whether it's education,
whether it's for buying a house or whether it's buying a car or whatever, all of these are haram
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:58
			dealing in interest in any way, shape or form is haram.
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:05
			So also then, second part is eating. So earning halal, and eating Halal
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:15
			is to eat food which you're sure about that this is halal. And to make sure is your responsibility.
Don't assume ask.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:29
			As we know, all vegetables are hella halal, all fish and so on. But as far as birds and animals are
concerned, which is poultry and
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:32
			whatever, I will do it
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:34
			to eat
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37
			that meat.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:54
			There are two conditions one, that the animal you're eating itself should be halal. And two that it
should have been slaughtered in the weathered that was also a result of protests, which is called
Serbia, which is hand slaughtered by a Muslim.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:14:16
			A animal or bird which has been slaughtered by a machine is haram. It is like eating a dead body. So
please don't eat it. It doesn't matter whether it has a halal stamp on it or not that responsibility
to eat the right thing remains with you. And just looking at a stamp
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:19
			without checking.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:26
			I wish I could say that all Muslims put 100 stamps only if they as of yet but they don't.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:48
			So therefore to check. The easiest way to understand that if you are allergic to something, you
wouldn't just take somebody's word for it. That there's that your the thing that you're allergic to
is not present in that food. You will make sure because if there is a mistake, you will pay the
price. Exactly the same analogy.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:58
			So pray five times a day and Hala Italia this is the basic fundamental of
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			light
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:06
			Hola Hola Muhammad Allah, so Allah, which is the key to making sure that we
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:50
			live by it and we die with it, and then that the day we die becomes the best day of our lives. Of
course, I won't go into the more details of not drinking alcohol and not, you know, staying away
from adultery and fornication and not committing murder and so on. All of these are not gambling.
All of these are clear. I don't think anyone has any doubt about any of these. So obviously, we
should not do any of those. But the thing that people are always seem to be, I don't know why
because that also is a matter without any doubt, which is the prohibition of interest based earnings
and the prohibition of eating non that we have.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:56
			But people seem to be always in a state of doubt about that. So let me clarify.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:09
			We ask Allah subhanaw taala to enable us to live with the man on Eman and to die with the man on EMA
or salah and the weakening while he was a good member I'm tickled overwash
