My dear beloved respected brothers and sisters, I
ask Allah
to make us from the people who listen
and apply.
Anytime we hear about an investment opportunity, we
become all ears especially if it's a profitable
one.
And when we
find out that it's a halal
and also you can make money, we always
recommend it to one another.
Today Insha'Allah
Ta'ala in this short Khutba,
we will be discussing
some
of the most important and and beneficial
investments you could ever have,
You could ever think about.
Qal Allah Azzawajal.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said in Surat Yaseen.
We bring back
the people from the death. We give them
life again.
And
and we
record
2 things.
Everything they have done
and their
traces.
And everything
is in
a clear
record,
very clear
record.
My brothers and sisters,
from this area
we conclude
that
our records will include 2 things.
First,
whatever I have done
above this ground,
whether it's good or evil,
and
whatever
I
led
for others to do good
or evil
after
my death or
during
my life. This is what is going to
be recorded.
The people
are divided
into 3 groups
after death. After death
people are divided
into 3 groups.
The first group
is that
his or her book are sealed.
No good deeds written
after their death
and no evil deeds written.
Their tongue
stopped
from remembering Allah.
Their limbs
stopped
from
salat, and suyaam, and haj, and umrah.
Their
tongue stopped from reading the Quran, from making
dua. Everything stops
after their death.
That's the first group.
Then the second group
are people who wronged themselves.
And
they introduced
something
evil to humanity
or
participated
in promoting
something evil to humanity.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said,
And they will bear
their own burdens in full on the day
of judgment.
And also the burdens
of those whom they misled
without them knowing.
The burdens of the ones they misled
without them knowing.
Evil indeed,
that which they
shall bear.
So these people not only
they will get the evil deeds of the
sins they have committed,
but they will also get the evil deeds
of everyone
they taught a sin.
Everyone
they promoted or encouraged him or her to
do a sin.
They are
under the ground in the grave and the
record of evil deeds is multiplying.
Can you imagine the person who invented the
cigarette?
Till the day of judgment,
everyone who smokes,
everyone who sells smokes,
he will be getting the
evil deeds.
And so on with anything that is evil.
Can you imagine?
When I read this hadith,
he said
in the meaning of
every crime
that takes place on earth,
Kabil
will get part of the sin because he
started killing.
Can you imagine how many crimes
till the day of judgment, Kabul will get?
He is the one who initiated,
started the concept of killing, the first crime.
So whosoever starts something that is evil,
He will get
all the sins of whomsoever
followed him or her
till the day of judgment.
They did not know like the Ayah said,
they have no clue.
They did not know
that this will mislead so many people not
only while I'm alive but also after my
death.
Someone introduced a new brand of alcohol and
became very popular.
Allahu Akbar.
Allahu Akbar.
My brothers and sisters,
then they're the 3rd group which I beg
Allah azzawajal
to make us all among them.
These are the real true
investors.
These are people who are not
only right righteous themselves
but they also
extended their righteousness to others.
They are not only righteous but they are
the ones who love to see righteousness
spread.
These are the true investors.
They knocked at every door of good,
Rushed
to every path of hayr.
These are
the ones who understood
and applied the hadith of Rasulullah
salallahu
alaihi wasalam when he said
The one who guide to the khair, to
the good, he will get the same exact
reward.
Another narration
without their reward being diminished in any form.
These are the peoples and the true investors.
These are the real investors.
These are what we call the long term
investors.
These are the people
whom understood and applied the hadith when Rasool
Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, idha
matabna Adam inqatta amalahuillaminthalath.
When the son of Adam dies,
all his deeds will cease,
will stop except for 3 things. These people
understood
and invested in these three things.
Sadaqajariya,
a continuous charity.
A knowledge that is beneficial
and
and a righteous child. A righteous child that
is making dua for him or her.
My brothers and sisters,
these are the people
whom their good deeds,
whom their good deeds record keep on rising
And Allah is pleased with them. These are
the people
who who are now even though they are
lying helpless
in under the ground, their rewards are increasing
above the ground.
These are the true investors.
These are the people
who invested. If you look at the three
things,
continuous charity.
This person used his wealth,
and he used his knowledge,
and he used himself,
his wealth for the charity,
and his knowledge to leave something beneficial after,
and himself
having children
that will make dua for them after.
Let's take them 1 by 1.
An ongoing
charity.
I see a brother,
a poor man,
and I give him $50.
I will be rewarded,
but that $50
will end
when he finish the food he ate, the
bill he paid.
That's a sabaka and great and we should
do a lot of it, but it's not
a sabaka jaria. It's not a continuous charity.
A continuous charity
is when I see a masjid like this.
Or any masjid that is vibrant
and helping others to come to the deen.
Shahadas are taking place.
Khufad of Kitabillah are graduating.
People are changing their life and invest in
such
masjid.
Everything that happened. Can you imagine
the people who have established this masjid and
some of them have already
departed. May Allah have mercy on their souls.
Can you imagine all the azure they have
they are getting and they will get till
the day of judgement as long as this
masjid is running.
Building a masjid or participating
in building a masjid.
You don't have to be the only person
that donated to build the masjid. Rasulullah salallahu
alaihi wasallam
to show us the importance of participating.
He said, whomsoever
build a masjid as big as the nest
of a cat,
he will get a house in Jannah.
So I participated
in building a Masjid. I participated
in building an Islamic school
and supporting an Islamic school.
I participated
in building a hospital that benefited humanity.
I built an orphanage for for all the
orphans.
All these as long as they are
operating,
I will get an azure.
I will get the reward
after I long departed.
That's why, Yaqwane,
one of the greatest gifts that Rasoulasaihi wasallam
gave us
is that he told us,
if we do something to our parents after
their departure,
the reward will get to them.
You know what happens? Because we go to
so many
funerals.
At
the moment
of the burial,
the family of the deceased,
the sons and the daughters,
crying hysterically.
And at that moment,
they want to build everything for their parents.
I am so sad to say,
1 week,
that feeling is gone and nothing is built.
If your parents have departed
or if your parents are still alive,
a well
that's giving water to the people.
Can you imagine you go to your father
and he's still alive,
and you say, baba,
you see this beautiful picture
of this well in India, in Bangladesh, in
Africa?
Me and my brothers,
me and my sisters, me and my siblings,
we built it for you. Allah, as a
father,
this is the best gift you could ever
give me. First, you showed me that you
are thinking about me and I'm still alive.
And you could imagine what I would think
you would do for me after my death
Because after the death is more rewarding. Why?
Because I did not get anything in return.
That hug that I gave my son, he
did not get it after my death. So
it was sincerely
for my mother, sincerely for my father. So
I beg you if you have not done
anything for your parents, please
rush
race.
Imagine they are in the grave and
they were among the people that nothing is
coming, and then all of a sudden
the hasanat start multiplying.
Who's this? What happened, you Allah? Like Rasulullah
told us, a man is lifted,
is upgraded
in jannah. You Allah, what happened?
Your
son in Dunya is making dua for you.
Khutbah very serious
before we all stand here and we say
and we mention your name.
And then
I don't want myself and you to be
from the people, you Allah. Bring me back.
I want to do all these things. It
will be too late.
2nd,
knowledge,
beneficial
knowledge.
Either I personally left
or I distributed
or I participated in distributing,
that will continue to give me good deeds
as long as that knowledge is being benefited
from.
For example,
and I was
so touched
when someone took Shahadah the other day and
2 brothers were fighting
fighting. Who's going to teach him salah?
Me. No me. No me. They're fighting because
they are true investors.
This guy, every rakah he prays, they will
get the ajr. And if he has family
that become muslims, and he taught them the
salat, all of that is in his scale.
They understood
what does investment mean.
And it kills me when I beg the
brother, can you go teach this brother, new
brother wudu?
Allah Sheikh.
What?
Do you know what kind of investment is
this?
You should thank the sheikh who gave you
this opportunity.
Literally thank the sheikh.
Every single one of us does not have
to be a revert.
I teach someone how to read the Quran.
You Arab.
My brothers and sisters, the Arab, you know
how to read the Quran. Allah bless you.
Take an an Arab and tell him Habibi.
I wanna invest. Can I invest in you?
I wanna teach you how to read Arabic,
how to read the Quran.
Every day,
15 minutes after fajr,
Can you imagine? This person will teach his
son and his daughter and and so on
and you are getting all this reward. You
taught someone salat.
You taught someone dua.
All of that is in your scale.
Can you imagine the reward of Bukhari?
Can you imagine the reward of Abu Hurairah?
Can you imagine the reward of Abu Hanifa
Rahimuullah?
100,
maybe 1000 years
past until this day.
The record is moving.
Till this day,
the record is moving.
My brothers and sisters,
the fathers and the mothers, listen carefully.
Do not let anyone
teach your children
the fatiha.
They can teach them all the Quran
But the fatiha
is yours.
Can you imagine I'm giving this
times a day and this child will teach
his children
till the day of judgment and the reward
is going for the teacher.
The Fatiha only, the rest let the teacher
do it. But the Fatiha,
no
one teaches my son. No one teaches my
son, my daughter the Fatiha except me.
I'm the investor.
Every time they decide the fatiha and I'm
long gone,
The record is moving.
How can I let this go to someone
else? Would you give such an amount of
wealth to someone else just like that? This
is this is a huge long term investment.
Tajweed,
makaraj, all that. Bismillah,
put them in schools that the teachers teach
it. But the fatiha,
Baba, it's mine. Salat
is mine.
I'm teaching you the salat, Baba.
I'm teaching you the salat. Let the iman
teach you other things, but the salat is
mine.
And the last one is a righteous child.
Did not say any child
that will make dua for him.
He said
and that includes
son and daughter.
Righteous child.
As long as that righteous child is making
dua,
they will be getting the and the reward.
Every
every other
whatever you can,
Don't ever forget
your parents with this simple
simple
favor.
Ask Allah to forgive them. Ask Allah to
have mercy on them
just like they raised us when we were
children.
Someone might say, but, you Sheikh, I did
something wrong. I taught someone how to do
drugs. I encourage someone to drink alcohol in
the past,
and all this guy opened the liquor store.
Am I getting all these sins?
My brother,
repent.
That there is something called tawba. Repent to
Allah
and beg him to forgive you.
Beg him to forgive you. And Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala is ta'aba.
My brothers and sisters, this is a call
to rush,
literally to rush
and invest
before the time is up.
The angel of death does not text,
does not send an email,
does not call and say I'm coming.
He just shows up.
Let's invest as much as we can while
we are still above the ground to make
this home under the under the ground full
of light and the blessing.
He said a very beautiful statement.
Today,
we do all these actions, but we do
not see the accountability.
And on the day of judgement,
it's accountability,
but there's no more room to do anything.
My brothers and sisters,
the question that I want to leave myself
and you with is,
if we die tomorrow,
which one of these groups
we will be among?
The people whom their sins indeed stopped
or the ones whom their sins are multiplying
or the ones who could these are multiplying.
May Allah make us from the last one.
May Allah
protect all our students
that are standing against injustice.
May Allah protect all our students
that are standing against
injustice, and may Allah
help us help them. May Allah
give victory to our brothers and sisters all
over the world.
I can keep this both.
Please, brothers, come from the main hall from
the
hall into the main hall, and the the
both rooms, and fill up the main hall,
foot to foot, shoulder to shoulder.
Look down, make sure your heels on the
line.
the line.
the line.
