Mercy on him and give his family the
patience.
Also, our regular Musali brother, Sameer Tarda,
his brother
is having a brain procedure. He asked for
dua that Allah
will make it successful.
My dear beloved respected brothers and sisters, I
ask Allah
who gathered us in this masjid
together.
Sudan,
Yemen,
Kashmir,
China,
Lebanon,
Syria,
and now Bangladesh.
And the list goes on.
Question
that is
on every believer's mind,
when
will the Umma
find
relief?
To answer this question,
we will discuss a concept
that is called
the critical
limit.
Critical
limit.
This concept
is usually used
in physics
and in chemistry.
It represents
a threshold.
When that threshold is crossed,
it can cause
hazardous
situations.
In this khutbah, we will go beyond
this concept and merge it with an Islamic
concept called alaynaal
divine
care.
There's no better way to explain or to
merge
these two concepts than studying
the story
of Musa, alayhis salam,
in the Quran. Every time
that Musa alayhis salam
reached
the critical
limit.
In other words,
the brink of human endurance,
divine care
would descend.
We all know the story that Faraun had
a dream,
and when he got the interpretation of that
dream,
they told him
that a young boy
from the children of Israel
will dismantle your kingdom.
So
he ordered
for every newborn boy to be slaughtered.
And then when he found out
that the workforce,
the males are decreasing,
He decided to alternate.
1 year he slaughters, and 1 year
he keeps the male
boys alive,
male children alive.
In the year where he slaughtered kids, that's
the year where Musa, alayhis salaam, was born.
Musa alaihis salam,
his mother delivered him.
Frown
soldiers
are on their way
to carry
out the brutal order.
Now this is Musa alaihis salam's
first
critical
limit.
He was about to be slaughtered.
What happened?
Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala
inspired
Musa's
mother.
When you fear
for him,
cast him
in the
river.
Her immense
iman and
surpassed her
instinct.
So she put him in the river
and
entrusted him
to the divine
care.
So the first critical limit
when
Musa, alayhis salaam, was to be killed,
the divine care
descended,
and the order was given to his mother
to throw him in the river.
2nd critical limit.
And the heart of the mother of Musa
became
empty. She was very near
to disclose
the identity of Musa.
She was about to scream and say, this
is my son,
which would have ruined everything.
The second critical limit,
Musa's mom reached a point that she cannot
take it anymore
to be separated
from her son.
Now the divine
intervention
is expected.
The divine care
came down
and Allah
said,
we strengthened
her heart
so she can remain
from the believers
in Allah's
promise.
3rd critical limit,
The basket
literally
landed in the backyard
of
Faraun.
The guards
found the baby.
It's time
to fulfill the order
to kill the baby.
That is the next critical limit.
What is the divine care now? Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala said,
And I bestowed upon you love from me.
As a result,
The moment Faraun's wife saw the baby,
she fell in love with him,
and she persuaded
Faraun
to keep him.
The 4th critical limit,
the baby is starving.
The baby is starving,
and
each
attempt to feed him failed.
They
looked around for all nursing moms.
He refused
every single one of them.
That is a major
critical limit.
The baby is starving and about to die.
He needs
food.
He needs
to be nourished.
And the divine
care came down
when his sister
went and
said,
And his sister went around and said,
shall I direct you
to someone
who will take care
of this young boy and feed him?
The divine care
We brought him back.
We returned
him to his mother.
And
this critical limit and divine care
continues
in Musa alaihi salam's life.
When he sat under the tree and he
has no house, no
wife, no food, no shelter,
no money. And he said
He begged Allah
It was a critical limit. And Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala sent one of the daughters to
ask him to come meet her father and
we know the rest of it.
My brothers
and sisters,
subhanAllah,
the child
that frown
did everything possible
to eliminate
Not only he
survived,
frown
was paying money
for his mother to
feed.
As we have seen, this
is just the story of Musa, alaihis salam.
And this concept
continues in all
our life.
Whenever
we reach our critical limit,
expect
the divine
intervention.
He sent
a pre war message
to Saad Mun Abu Waqqas.
It's a little bit long. I just wanna
get the shahid from it.
He said,
I command you and your soldiers
to worry
more about your sins than your enemy.
I command you and your soldiers, he's not
telling him take this technique,
do this tactic
to win the war. No, no, no. I
command you
and your soldiers
to worry about your sins
more than you worry about the enemy.
Because Muslims are victorious,
because their enemies
are disobedient
to Allah, azzawajal.
And if we equate them in sins,
then
they have the advantage to defeat us because
they
overnumber us, outnumber us
with soldiers
and weapons.
If we are equal in sins,
then they will win
because they have more weapons
and more
soldiers.
In other words,
you
have reached your critical limit.
Beware
of doing something
that either will delay
or
make the divine care
disappear.
So
for the brothers and sisters
that have chronic pain,
for the brothers and sisters
that have financial
hardship,
For the spouses that are
facing marital problems,
Watch
your sins.
Watch
your sins.
Every single one of us can apply this
concept to their life.
Watch your sins.
Watch your delay
and neglecting the salawat.
Watch your neglect of the hijab.
Watch your dealing with riba.
Watch your disobedience to the parents.
I had a couple the other day asking
me, they're having a lot of issues, and
they said we love each other.
We care so much about each other
and we have no clue.
Where is this coming from?
Argument. Constant argument.
And they started each one explaining
what the other is doing.
And I'm listening.
And then I said,
my brother, you're gonna be surprised
from my question because
most of the people,
especially the couples, when they come to counseling,
they expect
that the counselor
has a magic wand, he will hit it,
and everybody will get up and start kissing
each other.
So I told him, you're gonna be surprised
with my question.
Do you deal with riba?
He said yes.
I said okay. Let's start from here.
You have declared
war
you have declared war
on the source of solution.
You have declared war
on the one you're asking for peace.
How's your salat?
3 out of 5. 3 out of 5.
Rasulullah, like, but wow you my brother.
3 out of 5, that is your deen.
5 out of 5 is Islam
on time.
Check this one too.
So
if you are wondering why the divine care
did not come yet while you have
reached
the critical limit,
check your sins.
Just like Umar, the wise,
he told Sadmab, you're a curse. SubhanAllah, I
was I was amazed. You know, when you
when you, send a message to your
general
of the army, you tell them, okay, go
this, do this,
attack before morning.
Watch your sins.
So
let's go back
to the question we posted in the beginning
of the khutbah.
When will the Umma
find
relief?
Oh, people of Gaza.
The Zionist project is crumbling.
The Zionist project is crumbling
and the Ummah has reached its critical
limit. So expect
the divine care
very very soon.
My brothers and sisters from the rest of
the countries, especially Bangladesh,
The secularism
will fail
and the dean of Allah will prevail.
This deen will be victorious.
Every shahid that is going anywhere in the
Muslim world
is not going to waste.
But me and you
cannot belittle
the sins that we are committing.
Many times
we tell each other,
really? If I stop the sins,
that will affect Gaza?
Because if you did and she did and
we all did,
then
the divine
intervention
will take place
as
promised.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said, and I will
end with this.
This whole concept we discussed in the Khutbah
is in the last page
of Surat Yusuf
Alaihi Salam.
And when
the messengers
despair
And
they knew,
they were certain
that they were denied.
They were called
liars.
What happened?
Our victory
came to them.
Please come from the hallway to the main
hall.
Look down. Make sure
your heels are on the line.
Foot to foot, shoulder to shoulder. Please, sisters,
do the same.
Please, brothers on the back, make sure you
close the gaps.
When we leave, sometimes we we see a
brother praying and making his own line.
Anytime you make your own line while there's
a space
in the line in front of you. Your
salat is bottled.
Your salat is not valid. This is what
our Rasool, sallallahu alaihi wasallam, told us. So
please make sure you close the gaps. And
if there's a gap in front of you,
make sure you fill it.
Please, on your way out, be generous and
donate and support the masjid. We all know
the masjid operates on your donations.
