Aloha
and
My dear beloved respected brothers and sisters,
I ask Allah azzawajal who answered our first
dua
to make us alive, to witness Ramadan,
to answer our second dua,
to make us alive, to witness.
We often hear about this person won this
prize and that person won this trophy and
that person won that medal
and that person came in 1st place, and
the 3rd person came in 3rd place. And
we always hear all these kinds of competition
and all these kind of prizes.
And some of these are healthy competitions.
But many of these prizes
and many of these achievements,
with time they are forgotten.
The true believer,
he or she will be focusing
about the
ultimate success,
the ultimate prize,
the ultimate
victory.
This is what
constantly
is on their mind.
The victory
and the success
declared and defined
by the owner of this land,
by the owner of this earth,
by the king of the kings himself,
Allah
Azzawajal.
The true success
is when we answer the 3 questions in
the grave
accurately.
The true success
when I am
under the shade of Allah when there's no
shade except his shade. The true success is
when I cross the siroth like lightning.
The true success is when I get the
book with my right hand.
The true success is when I enter the
Jannah.
That is the true success. That is the
true success.
May Allah make us all amongst the successful
ones.
My brothers and sisters,
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
defined
and explained
the true success in many ayaat,
and the most known one is
Whomsoever
is shifted,
is moved, removed
from the hellfire
and admitted to Jannah,
he or she has won.
This is the real.
You know when you see brothers and sisters
neglecting
their children,
neglecting their children,
And when you ask them about
why are you neglecting your children, You're not
spending time with them.
You're not there for them.
They answer
because I want to guarantee their future.
Here,
what they meant by the guarantee of the
future
is to make sure he becomes a doctor
or an engineer or a lawyer or an
accountant, and he became rich and all that.
This is for that person is the guarantee
of the future of the child.
My beloved brothers and sisters, the future of
our children is either Jannah or Nar.
That's the real future.
All the other stuff is good, but if
it's gonna deter me,
it's gonna deviate me from the true
goal, from the true prize,
we don't need it. I don't need a
Harvard graduate that does not pray,
that does not mean anything to me,
an MIT
graduate that does not wear the hijab, that
does not mean nothing to me.
None of those questions. What degree do you
have? How much money did you make? Where
do you live? What car did you drive?
None of those questions are in the grave.
Why can't we combine both dunya and akhirah?
Why can't be a successful doctor that fears
Allah,
that abide by the rules of Allah azza
wa Jal? What's wrong with that? Who said
I have to choose Dunya or Aqirah?
Why can't I be a successful businessman that
only sells and buys halal?
So the true success is the success of
the akhira.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
described
in Surat Al Haqqah.
The feeling
of the person
who was successful.
Allah describe the person who got the book
with his right hand. He starts screaming, oh,
I knew I knew it. I worked so
hard in the dunya. I knew it. I'm
gonna get the book in my right hand.
I was good to my parents.
I prayed on time. I
stayed away from the haram.
He will be in a very beautiful life
in a lofty palace.
All the fruits are coming down to them.
Eat and drink
because of everything that you have done
when you were on earth.
That is the ultimate success.
When Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is pleased with
us.
Some people think
that the ultimate success
or they are confused
about what is the ultimate success.
It's a very, very long hadith
about the story of
Ashab Al Uhdud in Surat Al Buruj.
Long hadith,
there was a boy, there was a king
who asked his magician to train a boy
to take over. Over, the boy was trained
and he became very good, and he used
to cure people with the help of Allah
a zawajal. He became prominent in his in
the village. People start coming to him. The
king was very upset because he want people
to worship him.
Long story short, the king wants to kill
the boy. He did many attempts. He could
not kill him. And then the boy came
to him, and he said, you want to
kill me?
Absolutely. He said, I'll teach you how to
kill me.
Gather all the village,
all of them
in one place and you tie me to
a tree and you get an arrow
and you say
Keep in mind that the man, the king
is claiming that he is the Lord. He
is Allaah.
Say
and shoot.
So the man gathered
all the people. The king gathered all the
people.
He tried without saying Bismillah
did not work and everybody's watching. Imagine a
stadium and the guys there and he's shooting.
And then he said,
and he shot and he killed the boy.
Instantly,
the whole village, the Adi is Muslim,
the whole village.
We believe in the lord of the hulam,
so we do not believe in this man
anymore.
So the king ordered
for a huge ditch
to be dug and filled with fire,
and he brought the whole village
that believed in Allah, and he put them
at the edge. And he say,
who's your who's your Lord? They say, Allah.
Push. Who's your lord? Allah, push.
Everybody,
when they were asked, who's your lord? They
said Allah, not you. He pushed them all.
Everybody was dead.
According to the people
who are still above the ground,
the king won.
The king won.
He destroyed
everybody who went against him.
He destroyed everyone that said that he's not
an ilah.
What did Allah azzawajal
say
about the action
of the people who went
to the ditch?
It's the only place in the
Quran. Allah said,
there's
but Kabir is only here. That is the
greatest victory.
You Allah, they died. Nobody left from them.
That is the greatest victory. That means the
greatest victory is for me and you to
die, Unla ilaha illallah.
That is the greatest victory.
To die
without any speck of doubt in my heart
that Allah has won, without any speck of
doubt in my heart that Allah has no
son, without any speck of doubt that Muhammad
salallahu alayhi wa sallam is his final messenger
and everything that he said is the truth.
That is the ultimate success.
That is what Allah called al Fawz al
kabeer.
To the people standing, oh, the the the
king won and everybody died and yalla. And
what what kind of success is this? Islam
stopped.
No. No. No. No. The true success
is to die.
And in order to die,
you have to
live
How to attain
the success?
How to attain the success?
It has been answered
by the owner of the success himself in
the Quran in many verses.
Number 1, to attain the success,
iman and amal salih.
True belief without any doubt in the heart.
They have no doubt in Allah's Suraj.
Whosoever does righteous deeds,
believer and does righteous deeds, Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala will forgive all his sins and will
admit
him into jannat
forever, and that is the ultimate success.
2nd,
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala told us that another
reason to
earn the fawzal adim
is the that we repeat. Is it a
coincidence?
Every single Friday on every member.
And whomsoever obey Allah and his messenger.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the one I'm trying
all my efforts to please is telling me
you want the ultimate success? Obey me and
obey Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wasallam.
We obey Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam
to the best of our ability to apply
as many sunnahs in our life as much
as we can.
And then we will get to the ultimate
success. 3rd,
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala told us that
being truthful with
Allah, many times we tell our children
a very
wrong statement.
What would people say?
You have destroyed your child.
What would people say about us?
You made that
son, that daughter's main concern is what people
say.
Imagine I raise my child
from a young age about
what Allah says.
Allah, to be truthful with Allah. I am
a believer because
Allah wants me to be a true believer,
not to show off my beard and to
show off in front of everybody.
At the end of the day, you're going
to the grave alone.
You're standing in front of Allah alone. All
these people that you were worried about, what
they're gonna say about me, nobody's gonna care
about no one. You maya firoulmar,
that that child that you you are so
worried about, he's gonna run away from you.
Everybody
alone
alone. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said,
To be truthful with Allah
will lead us to be extremely
successful.
My brothers and sisters, there are so many
others just because of the time. I will
mention one more. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said
the tool to get the success is sabr.
Patience.
Patience to perform the.
Patience to get up and pray fajr. Patience
to wear the hijab in a 100 and
20
degrees, patience to stay away from the haram.
You see, my young brothers and sisters, you
are bombarded 247
with haram on your phones everywhere.
That needs patience to stay away, and that
patience is not gonna go to waste. You
will be rewarded immensely. And the third kind
of patience is to be patient when we
are hit by a calamity.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said,
I rewarded them today
because of their patience that they are
the successful ones.
My brothers and sisters,
there's a huge chance that we can all
reach the Fazil ad Din
with those few nights left in Ramadan.
Ubayy ibn Kab Radiallahu an, he swore by
Allah that tonight is.
He swore that the 27th night is.
So can you imagine if Allah gave me
a few more hours to live?
There are few more nights and 2 of
them are odd. I'm gonna I'm gonna
do everything possible.
This is this is my last Ramadan.
That's it.
There's no more Ramadan
for me. I don't know. That should be
the mentality for every single one of us
because many people that were with us last
Ramadan did not know that last Ramadan was
last Ramadan.
So I'm treating those few days, that's it.
If Allah kept me alive these few days.
So, Yakhwan,
tonight
all
the decrees of the year are decided. Are
you gonna be happy or miserable? Are you
gonna live or die?
Who's born? Who's dying? Who's gonna be,
successful? Who's gonna get married? Everything's decided tonight.
So where
do you want to be when Allah is
making the decree?
At a fest somewhere
eating or you wanna be in the house
of Allah
begging
with the tears flowing,
You Rabb, my parents.
You Allah, my spouse.
You Allah, my children.
You Allah, me.
You
Allah, You Kareem. Tonight is the night. You
Allah. You Allah. I've been sinning for 11
months. You Allah forgive me. You Allah protect
me. You Allah protect my children. You Allah
guide
my wife. Guide my husband. You Allah. Whatever
you want, this is the night.
Few nights left,
Beg Allah
and keep in mind like I said last
week that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said
The sister that was declared she has 20
months to live, we wanna tell her. Allah
said it is easy for me to elongate
your life for another 10, 15, 20 years.
Who are we talking about? Al Qadir
himself.
Foot to foot, shoulder to shoulder. We're gonna
wait few minutes and pray after it.
We have a few minutes for, Assur
Today is the last Friday, and we only
ask for appeals only in Ramadan. So we
have 50 weeks off coming. Today is the
last time we're gonna ask you that we
need few people to give us a $100
a month.
Please raise your hand for a $100 a
month. Anybody?
This is it. This is your opportunity. Last
jumah.
Last Friday of the of the month, last
Friday of, Ramadan this year. $100
a month. Raise your hand, Yaqwon.
$100 a month, Barak Alafiq at best.
$100
a month,
there are yaqwon. I need 7 more. There's
3. Yes.
Raise your hand, please.
$100, Yakhwan. 5 more.
For the house of Allah, brothers in the
back,
to support the house of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. $100.
Just $100 a month. A whole month $100.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will replace it many
many folds, yahkwaan. $100 a month,
the shaitan is gonna tell you that at
the end of the month, and all these
bills, and all that.
Shaitan
Shaitan
promised you poverty, and Allah promised you many
many rewards.
$100 a month, 3 more only.
Just 3
more by the time Asar comes.
2 more.
2 more.
$100 a month?
Sisters,
you are the backbone. Come on, sisters.
2 people for $200?
2 people for a $100 each?
Anybody?
Anybody else?
One more?
One more person?
He gave already and he keeps giving
Anybody, if you cannot afford
150, 25,
wallahi, the whole idea like I said last
week, the masjid is gonna continue to run.
Because the owner is Ghani.
So it's just a favor.
This is a favor to you to participate.
Otherwise, Allah does not need us. Allah he
does not need us. So
whatever amount you can, 20, 50,
anything. Just be part of the khair, part
of the people who are taking shahada, part
of the people who are guided, part of
the people who are learning how to read
the Quran. Imagine because I supported this masjid.
So
whatever you can, this is between you and
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. May Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala
multiply it many folds. May Allah grant us
the blessing of laylatul kadr.
I beg Allah
with the best of his names to accept
every single dua that we are going to
make tonight.
Have you ever heard worst ameen than this?
I'm
gonna ask Allah. I'm I'm asking Allah not
to take you away or to send you
to the hellfire. I'm saying Allah accept your
dua, and none said,
Amin. You are so scared from donation.
By the way, the best time to have
lowering the gaze is when somebody is asking
for money. Everybody
become
Everybody become concentrating.
Thinking thinking how much to give you.
So let's repeat the dua. You Allah, You
Kareem, I ask you on this Friday for
everybody who's here and everybody who's watching us,
You Rab, accept every dua they made.
Now we're talking. You Allah,
guide all our children.
You Allah, protect them from the hellfire.
You Allah, surround them with the righteous company.
You Allah, fill our home with love and
mercy.
You Allah, keep the shayateen of humans and
the shayateen of jinn away of from our
life.
Make our last deeds our best deeds.
And make our last words
