dear beloved respected brothers and sisters I ask
Allah who gathered us in this masjid to
gather us on the Day of Resurrection with
Sayyid al-Mursaleen Muhammad Ameen Ya Shaykh,
the doors are closed I knocked at this
door, it did not open, I knocked at
that door, it closed I tried this, it
did not work, I tried there, it did
not work And this happens with many of
us Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy
on him, in his book Al-Fawaid He
quoted one of the scholars, his name is
Shaqiq al-Balkhi This scholar, he said that
the doors of Tawfiq, the doors of success
Are closed because of six things The doors
of Tawfiq are closed because of six things
If I am doing one or more of
these things That could be the reason why
are the doors closed in my face He
said first Being
busy and occupied with the blessing Than being
busy and occupied of being grateful to the
blessing Being busy with the blessing and forgetting
the blesser Example, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
blessed me with wealth Wealth is one of
the best of blessings I am occupied with
this ni'mah of wealth And I am forgetting
to thank the one who gave me this
ni'mah Thanking him by using this ni'mah in
his service I am so occupied with these
blessings of wealth With my home and my
car and this and that And I am
forgetting to use this ni'mah in his service
So it can be multiplied وَإِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ
I am busy with the ni'mah of children
Which is one of the greatest ni'mah also
Allah blessed me with children I am busy,
quote unquote, protecting their future By saving money
for them and doing that for them And
putting them in the best schools Which is
nothing wrong with it But I am busy
from teaching them their deen Teaching them Arabic,
teaching them Quran Which is the gratitude for
the ni'mah of children So I am busy
with the ni'mah And I am forgetting to
thank the mun'im My brothers and sisters,
how can we be thankful?
Being grateful, being shakur to any blessing It
involves three things With the heart, being grateful
with your heart What does that mean?
When we are grateful with our heart That
means I admit and confess and believe That
every blessing that I have is from Allah
azza wa jal وَمَا بِكُم مِّن نِعْمَةٍ فَمِنَ
اللَّهِ This is how I am grateful with
my heart By knowing that this job is
not because of my degree Because of my
shrewdness, because of my smartness Because of my
father, because of my tribe No, this is
because of Allah And only because of Allah
azza wa jal I do my job, I
try, I work I study, but at the
end of the day I always bring back
the success To the khaliq, to Allah azza
wa jal This is how I am grateful
with my heart Grateful with the tongue, it's
obvious To constantly say alhamdulillah Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam He said, alhamdulillah tamla ilmizan Fills
the scale on the day of judgment And
a true and sincere alhamdulillah How many times
you ask a brother That is going through
some kind of difficulty Some kind of hardship,
how are you doing brother?
Alhamdulillah, what kind of alhamdulillah is this?
What kind of alhamdulillah is this?
Always Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught us
Even in the toughest of situations You say,
alhamdulillah ala kulli hal I'm so grateful to
Allah azza wa jal For every state that
I am in I am poor, I'm grateful,
I'm rich, I'm grateful I'm healthy, I'm grateful,
I'm sick, I'm very grateful This is the
thanking by the tongue And the thanking by
the limbs Is to put these blessings that
Allah gave you In his service And do
not use the ni'mas of Allah By disobeying
him with these blessings Allah blessed me with
these eyes Allah blessed us all with vision
And I take these eyes and I watch
haram And I watch haram Allah blessed me
With ears that I can hear You know
wallahi We do not appreciate what we have
Until either we lose it or we see
someone who does not have it One time
I met a brother Whose death came to
the masjid And he said, sheikh My dream
is to hear the recitation of the imam
I only move when you move He doesn't
know Allahu akbar He sees us moving, he
moves Allahu akbar Using these blessings in the
service of Allah When do we wake up?
When the sister without hijab wakes up Ya
Allah When she had cancer And she loses
all her hair Ya Allah, save me from
the cancer I will wear the hijab Ya
Allah, save me from this being handicapped And
I will start coming to the masjid Why
didn't you come while he was giving you
all these blessings?
This is what happens When we lose something
Then we wish that we have it In
order to use it in the service of
Allah So the first door is being busy
with the ni'mah And ignoring or neglecting being
grateful for it Brothers The non-believer is
busy with the ni'mah And the believer is
busy with being grateful for the blessings Brothers,
second Acquiring a lot of knowledge Without
action That's the second door Acquiring a lot
of knowledge Lessons, khutab, seminars, workshops, conferences You
name it, I'm there Show me Habibi Put
them into action Nothing, just listening We come
to Jum'ah every Friday Every Jum'ah
What did we take from this?
You see a person Oh this degree, that
degree, that PhD Habibi, imagine someone went to
10, 11, 12 years to become a doctor
And then when he finished with distinction and
flying colors He went and put the degree
in his room and went to sleep Habibi,
put it to action Similarly when it comes
to the deen And I learn something I
have to put it into action Put it
into action I'm just, if If I'm seeking
knowledge Just for the sake of seeking knowledge
Just for the sake to be called the
sheikh, mufti, mawlana Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam He
said if that is your main intention Welcome
to Jahannam Can you imagine, this guy is
going to school He's studying in sharia But
his intention is just to When he sits
in a gathering to show off And he
starts narrating And he doesn't apply, he doesn't
This is his main cause So getting a
lot of ilm Without amal Beg Allah, beautiful
dua Allahumma ja'alni min al-alimin al
-amileen The one who know and act upon
it May Allah make us all among them
Third Rushing to sin And delaying tawbah And
it's supposed to be the other way around
Every time I'm interested I'm tempted to do
a sin I should be hesitant and think
a million times Before I do it And
when it comes to tawbah Because we are
all sinners I should be rushing Rushing to
repent I only come to Jumu'ah I
don't pray the five daily prayers Major sin
I'm never going to tell you Don't stop
coming to Jumu'ah Come But now You
are not performing the five daily prayers Which
is a major sin And you keep saying
Ramadan in 50 something days I will start
in Ramadan I will start when I graduate
When I get married When I have my
first baby When we move As if I
have a guarantee I'm going to live So
I'm delaying the tawbah Even though I am
immersed in a major sin A major sin
So we should Subhanallah Look at the beauty
of tawbah Look at the beauty And I
want all of us to imagine That there
is nothing called tawbah Can you imagine?
If I committed a sin I'm done Allahu
Akbar Can you imagine That tawbah is only
in Mecca Where are you going brother?
Wallahi I have to repent I'm traveling to
Mecca Can you imagine?
Can you imagine that Tawbah is On Thursday
at 4 a.m. only But what if
I die before that?
Allahu Akbar No, anytime, anywhere, any day Rush
Not only rush Inna allaha yuhibbu tawwabeen Allah
would love you Don't let the shaytan tell
you You are a major sinner You know
this, you're that This is all from the
shaytan Allah said He loves when the person
repents May Allah make us from those who
listen to the word And follow the best
of it And all of my saying is
to ask Allah for forgiveness And ask His
forgiveness Indeed, He is the Forgiving, the Merciful
In the name of Allah, the one and
only And peace and blessings be upon those
who have no prophet after him Fourth The
obsession with the company of the righteous And
leaving the obsession with their actions Bragging that
I know the shaykh I know these righteous
people I know this Mawlana He's my friend
Bragging that you know all the righteous people
And you do not emulate them You do
not imitate them Look, I have a picture
with the shaykh So and so I know
him You want me to call him?
I know his number We were hanging out
yesterday Why don't you follow what the shaykh
did?
The shaykh is always praising this and that
And I see you doing everything opposite Bragging
about knowing someone who's righteous And not imitating
the righteous And that is lately with the
social media This is becoming huge No One
of the greatest blessings Is to be surrounded
by righteous people So their trait, their actions
Will have an impact on your life This
is the whole reason One of the main
reasons To have a righteous company When they
see you going on the right path They
take your hand And when they see you
doing something evil They tell you, hey stop
Brother, this is not right Fifth Running
after the dunya And the dunya running away
from us This person, this door Unfortunately many
are inflicted with this door Running after dunya
Finish this I want this level This position
This promotion No stopping And again This is
their focus This is all their focus You
know One time there's a story It says
that a man brought a woman to his
father And he said, baba I would like
to marry this woman So the father when
he saw the girl He said, wow This
is so pretty It's not good for you
I want to marry her myself So they
fought They fought And they went to the
police When the police saw it Saw the
woman He said, neither of you I'm going
to marry her And then the police Fought
with them And they went to the mayor
Same thing Then the mayor went to the
governor The governor went to the president When
the president saw her He said, this is
mine So she said, you know what Stop
fighting I'm going to run And whomever catches
me I will be his She started running
And everybody is running after her Until they
all died Out of fatigue and exhaustion And
she stood up and said I am the
dunya You will never catch me I am
the dunya You will never catch me Have
you ever seen someone Saying, I'm done I'm
satisfied I don't want anymore Have you ever
seen that person?
Does that person exist?
No Why?
Rasulallah s.a.w. said The son of
Adam Listen to this hadith If the son
of Adam has a valley Not a room
as this big Valley of gold Can you
imagine just this room With gold It will
suffice Earth Really, earth Rasulallah s.a.w.
said If the son of Adam Has a
valley of gold He wishes for two And
nothing will satisfy The son of Adam Except
a turab Dirt in the grave This is
what is going to shut him Otherwise, as
long as he Is above the ground He
is always seeking for more Looking for more
So My brothers and sisters Loving the dunya
And Subhanallah From the moment we were born
Me and you From the moment we are
born We are told From the moment we
were born We were told You are going
to die And me and you Are walking
towards that end Can you imagine?
I'm walking towards that end I know for
a fact That the verdict is already out
You are going to die That's the verdict
But the execution Is only known to the
creator When?
No one knows But for a fact 100
% None of this room None of the
people watching us Would say No, no, no,
no I am not going to die And
we are still addicted to the dunya Which
brings us to the sixth one And the
last one The akhirah is moving forward And
we are running away from it The akhirah
is coming forward Is moving forward Every breath
that I take Is bringing me closer to
my trip To the cemetery When you are
sitting in a gathering And you start mentioning
death Ya sheikh leave us alone Every time
you remind us of death While Rasulallah What
did he say?
Akthiru Mention abundantly Abundantly The destroyer of pleasure
Abundantly A lot Constantly think I am going
to die And Subhanallah Listen to this ayah
in surat az-zumar Subhanallah وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّهِ
وَحْدَهِ إِشْمَأَزَّتْ قُلُوبُ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ وَإِذَا
ذُكِرَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ دُونِهِ إِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ Allah
said There are a group of people If
you mention Allah Look at this word They
get disgusted They get disgusted Every time Leave
us alone Every time you say قَالَ اللَّهِ
قَالَ الرَّسُولِ يَا بْرَضَرِ يَا أَخْوَى يَا أَخَوَاتِ
Leave us alone وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ دُونِهِ
And when you start mentioning the bitcoin And
the stocks And the cars And the real
estate إِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ This is what we
want to talk about Tell me what's going
on This is an ayah 1440 years ago
Let's talk about this يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ Very happy Don't
talk about other stuff The akhirah is coming
Two days ago Yeah, two days ago 24

faces May Allah make what he loves easy
for us to perform اللهم وثقنا لما تحبه
