AI: Transcript ©
My dear beloved respected brothers and sisters,
I ask
Allah who gathered us in this masjid
together as yawmal qiyam, Usayd al Musaleem Muhammad
sallallahu
alayhi wasallam,
aamin Arabi alamin.
In many places in the Quran,
we notice
that
a man
is associated
with Amal Saleh.
You never see an ayah that says only
if you're a believer you will get this,
you will get that. Always.
And many many many aiyat. You will enter
Jannah if you do iman and amal salih.
You will gain the love of people if
you if you do amal salih and you
have iman. You will enter Jannah. Your sins
will be forgiven. Always
they come hand in hand. Iman and amal
Saleh.
Imaan by itself imagine, oh, I believe that
salat is a must and I don't pray.
So iman has to be accompanied by the
Amal Saleh to prove that you are a
true believer.
Now there are the 6 pillars of Iman
which we all believe in. Believing in Allah,
in the day of judgment,
in the books, the messengers,
the angels
and the Qadr. It's good and it's evil.
These are the pillars of Iman that we
all believe in. But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
1 place in the Quran.
He said that there are
true believers.
These are the real
believers.
And these real believers,
they are
Their characteristics are
detailed in the first
page in Surat Al Anfal.
Allah told us who are
Al Muqminoonah
Haqan.
Who's saying this? Allah
He is separating between believers
and
Let's take their characteristics. They have 5 characteristics.
Let's take them and between me and myself,
between you and yourself,
go 1 by 1 and go check. If
you have all 5, Allahu Akbar, you are
a mummin Haqqan.
Walahrabihimiyatawakealoonaladinah
Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, if you know a little
bit of Arabic when the, when the, term
is called in Arabic adat hasr. That means
whatever I'm gonna say after inna,
it's exclusively
which is the end of the ayat are
the ones who exclusively
have these 5 characteristics.
What is the first 1?
Just a quick reminder again, as I'm going,
check with yourself.
You might have 1, you might have 2,
but we wanna try to achieve all 5
because I want to be from that group.
When Allah's name is mentioned their hearts tremble.
How are we doing so far?
Does your heart tremble
when you hear the name of Allah
What does it mean?
If they just hear the name of Allah,
this is 1 of the ways they heard
the Quran.
They heard,
a Khutba in Asiha. They heard something that
shook them.
Their heart tremble
or which is
what the scholars said. They said, when they
are
reminded
of Allah,
immediately they start trembling. Brother,
stop selling the haram. Allahu Akbar. Brother it
is haram. Allah is haram You Akhi. Allahu
Akbar I'm done.
When Allah has being when they when when
Allah's name is mentioned in front of them,
when they are warned about Allah immediately they
start trembling Allahu Akbar.
They immediately
stop. They abide by the rules of Allah
azzawajal.
They tremble. How could I do something to
disobey Allah Azzawajal?
They stop immediately.
They cannot afford to disobey Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. On the other side, Allah told us,
woman
And who is worst? Look at this, SubhanAllah.
Look at this term. Who is worst than
the 1 who's reminded?
Yeah.
Leave the riba. Allah said
Allah said wear the hijab.
Make sure you only you always pray. You
don't come only to Jumuah. You're always
when they are reminded of Allah Subhanahu wa
ta'ala,
they did not, they immediately abide.
Allah said, and who is worse than the
1 who is reminded of Allah's
orders, Allah's ayaat.
Youkhil leave me alone. Who put you in
charge of me? Leave me alone Youkhil.
1 time a Muslim brother, I was reminding
him very extremely gently. He said, You leave
me
alone.
Habibi. We were both Muslims. What do you
mean?
And maybe a kafir will tell me you
have your own Deen. I have my own
Deen. But you're telling me
Who is worst than the 1 who's reminded
of Allah,
of the Ayat of Allah and
He ignores
it.
You people.
You people.
Islam, Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said,
Islam is easy.
Take it easy. Islam is absolutely easy.
But when I tell you why don't you
pray, you tell me,
Islam is easy
as long as my heart is clean, I'm
I'm good. No Habibi. This is custom made.
This is your own
deen. When the name of Allah is mentioned,
you know,
sometimes we all fall into mistake. We are
we are human beings. So if someone comes
and tells you, my brother, my sister,
Itaqillah. Have taqwa of Allah. Fear Allah, how
could you do this?
How could you do this?
Immediately say,
may Allah forgive me and forgive you. Thank
you so much for reminding me. This is
a movement.
2nd.
And when they hear,
when the
ayaat of Allah tuliyat, and someone else recited
it. When that ayat of Allah when the
verses are being recited,
they increase
in iman. How we doing so far?
When the Ayat are being recited
they increase in Iman.
And 1 of the ways in order for
this Ayah to be applied to me and
you
is to understand Arabic language.
I love you for the sake of Allah.
How much effort did you put?
Please.
How much effort did you put to learn
Arabic?
I can tell you how much effort did
you put to become a doctor, an engineer,
and a lawyer, and an accountant, and how
much money you spent, tons.
How much effort did you put to learn
the book of Allah
Why do we come to Jum'ah?
So we can check Khalifa Hamdan? No.
No sheikh is gonna stand over here. No
imam is gonna stand over here
and tell you something new.
It's all, the whole concept is with aqir.
Remind them.
That's the whole idea. And this is what
I'm doing. I'm reminding myself first and I'm
reminding you. How much effort did you put
to learn the Arabic language?
Taib. How can I understand
the book of Allah if I have no
clue? I'm not telling you become
a masters or PhD in Arabic. No. No.
No. Just take this ayaat that you we
recite on a regular basis.
Take few words and now SubhanAllah,
what excuse do we have with all these
online courses? What excuse do we have?
1, youkhi, 1 hour
a week.
1 hour a week just to learn
the language of Allah. The language of the
book of Allah Azzawajal.
This is will increase me, increase the possibility
of this second 1
to be from that category. Either,
way the tuliat alayhim aya tohu when the
ayaat are being recited. How can it increase
me in iman and I have no clue
what's happening? I have no clue what what
is being said.
And you know what?
If it is like, I would say 7,
800 years ago and I'm living in China
and there's no Arab around me and there's
no computers.
You might say,
maybe there's an excuse.
Please I beg you, tell me what's your
excuse.
What's your excuse? You don't have time? You
have time for Instagram. Half an hour, 45
minutes, 1 hour, checking everybody, Facebook, all these,
Twitter, all these things. We have time. We
proved that we have time. We have time
to go to work from 9 to 5.
We have a lot of time to do
this and do that.
We are not saying
delete everything
and dedicate all your life for Arabic. No.
No. No.
No way.
1 hour, 2 hours a week.
And wallahi you will notice
what people you know, when when you hear,
when I hear the Quran, you Allah,
it's it's it's a different feeling. When I
it changes everything. It moves me. It it
it keeps me like,
it put barakah in my life, Then and
only then you will feel that barakah that
people talk about.
The the the Sahaba, Surat Al, October, last
page.
When the ayat Allah is telling us in
Surat Al Tawbah that when the ayat were
revealed, the Sahaba gathered. Okay, Umar, did this
ayah increase you in iman? Which ayah increased
you more in iman? This is the discussion
when the ayat were revealed.
SubhanAllah. So the believer, they actually yes, they
increase in iman. When they see that
people discovering things in our era that has
been spoken about
1400 years ago, it increases me in Iman.
2nd,
And they have
real
on Allah
Now if I ask or if you ask
me,
who is a?
Everybody raise their hand. We are all.
But where
does your really
rise and shine
when you are hit by
calamity. As you're leaving the Masjid, you gotta
text you're fired.
Your house was on fire.
Your son got into a car accident, and
he is in the hospital.
What are you going to do at that
moment?
That's that moment not after 1 week of
complaint.
At that moment,
what are you going to say?
If you lost your job, does the razzak
comes flashing in front of your face? Allah
is the provider. Alhamdulillah. I did not do
anything to cause
that firing.
I'm doing everything
right.
Alhamdulillah.
Allah is my razzak. He will not leave
me alone.
Allah is my razzak. He will not leave
me alone.
I have complete the wakkur of Allah Azzawajal.
SubhanAllah.
There was a story that Sulaiman alayhis salam,
1 time he was sitting in the bank
of the river
and he saw an ant take some food.
How much food can an ant take? A
small amount of food.
The ant takes it and then there's a
frog
waiting.
The frog comes and takes the food from
the ant and then it disappears.
And then comes back again and the same
kept on recurring. So we all know that
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala blessed Suleyman that he
can communicate
with the ants. So he told her, what's
going on here?
Listen for the brother and sister that are
very worried about their risk.
The aunt told Suleyman,
there's a blind
worm.
There's a blind worm in the bottom of
the river.
So I come, Allah ordered me
to come and take this food, give it
to the frog and the frog takes it
down to feed that worm and you're worried
about your risk.
No 1, nothing that crawls on this earth
except Allah
guaranteed their provision.
The
the risk is guaranteed.
When I was born
or before I was born, when I was
4 months in my mother's womb and you
too, Allah already decreed
how long I'm going to live
and how much money I'm going to make,
who am I going to marry, how many
kids, everything has been decreed. So it was
decreed that I will make in my life
span of 70, 80 years, I will make
$1, 000, 000.
I will not die
before I make the $1, 000, 000. I
will not make a penny more or a
penny less.
Now where is the trick?
How
you get the $1, 000, 000?
This is
your choice. You steal it. You rob it.
You sell drugs.
You get a good job,
you inherit it, but the amount's still the
same. That's why we tell our brothers,
stop selling smokes,
Stop selling alcohol.
That money is gonna come anyway.
Allah Ali he
he wanted to pray. So on his way
to the masjid, he had his shield on.
So he took his shield and he gave
it to 1 of the boys. He said,
keep the shield with you till I go
to pray and I come back and take
it from you. He came back, the guy
is gone. The kid is gone. So he
needed a shield. He went to the market,
he saw a shield being sold.
He said, oh god, who gave you the
shield?
He said the young boy came. I gave
him 2 dinar
and he gave me the shield. He said,
subhanallah.
As I'm coming out from the masjid, I
took 2 dinars from my pocket to give
it to the boy because he kept my
shield.
So that 2 dinar were coming. The boy
chose to get them through Haram,
but the 2 dinars
are coming.
Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam told us that
if you have real tawakkul
on Allah,
he will treat us like the bird. The
bird wakes up in the morning
with empty stomach. He leaves his nest and
he comes back with a full stomach.
4th characteristic.
The ones listen carefully. The ones who
establish
the salah. He did not say
He did not say the
1 who pray.
Big huge difference.
Waladina
yukimunas
salah. Iqamatisalah,
establishing
the salah. What does that mean?
Perfect wudu.
On time.
With Jannah, if possible.
Trying,
striving
to have and
not to be distracted.
Took by all the means
to enjoy it.
You know what does yukimunasalah
mean?
They just finished
Jumuah
and they can't wait for us.
How many of us cannot wait for Hasid?
How many was of us finish Isha? You
are a can't wait for fajr.
They enjoy this.
I just finished. What does salat mean? We
translate it into pray. Right? It's a very
wrong translation. Pray is dua.
Right? When you say to an an Muslim,
pray for me. You don't go and make
turakah.
Pray.
Salat is from the word silah. Silah in
Arabic means to connect.
So salat is my connection with Allah. Tayeb,
if I'm claiming that I love Allah the
most and I am in connection with him,
How can I wait? I cannot wait for
it to finish.
I'm I'm enjoying that that Ibadah. I can't
wait for the next time I'm meeting again.
I am with the most beloved.
How's your salat? How's your salat Yahi?
It is the first thing that we will
be questioned about on the day of judgment.
The first thing
Imagine the first thing and look what our
susai as salam said, if it's good, if
the salat is good, good, fasting will be
good, Hajj will be good, Umrah will be
good, Quran will be good, Dua will be
good, Birill Walid. Everything will be good, he
said. And if it's not good,
everything is not
good. So I should be focusing my salat,
establishing my salat.
And we've seen it all over the Quran.
Establishing the salat.
Teach your children from a young age, baba
no matter what happened, if I'm here, I'm
traveling, I'm dead, I'm gone.
Baba salat,
the salat in a nice gentle manner. You
don't tell your child, If you don't pray
you're going to *.
That's not an aslubyahwan.
Maybe this worked with me and you, it
doesn't work anymore. We have to make our
children love Allah Azzawajal
and know that this is a fard upon
them. It's an a must, it's not an
option.
And from what we,
not from the sweat,
from what we have provided
for them, they spend.
They spend.
Where?
Please show me where there is AAA an
orphan. Oh, subhanAllah,
brother so and so passed away. Allahu Akbar.
That means he left a widow and orphans.
Let's
go. Hurry up.
This happened in our community that means we
have to wake up and help. You Allah,
let's go
immediately.
Some of us not only they do not
spend, they complain about others when they ask
them to spend.
You said, riyoonafil
khayroat. They rush to spend.
Where? Please show me, Ikhya and I my
time is very limited. Allah, if we think
that the time above this ground is very
limited, it's very short, I have only
1 day, 2 days, 1 week. When I
think like this, immediately I want to do
as much as I can before I'm I'm
gone.
Before I'm gone, I have to take as
much as I can. What am I How
many of us
have seen somebody take their car with them
to the grave?
How many of us
they seen someone take their cash in the
grave?
The shroud has no pockets.
Wake up and rush to spend as much
as you can.
Allah told us in the Quran in Surat
Al Munafiqun,
aya before last.
I want to give in charity
and I want to be among the righteous.
So
If Allah's name is mentioned, their hearts tremble.
When the ayat are being recited,
they are increased in iman, and they have
complete
trust in Allah.
They established the salat, and they spend from
what Allah has provided for
them.
These are the true believers.
What is their reward?
They have all different,
levels and status in the sight of Allah.
And on top of that, bonus, all their
sins are forgiven. And the kareem himself,
the razak himself
said
they have rizq
kareem.
Very generous provision.
Still, Teddy Lou, straight on the lines, close
the gaps, heels on the line.
Look down, make sure the lines are straight.
Sisters, please do the same.
Do not make a line on your own.
This is something that's been happening a lot.
When you make a line on your own
and there's a space in the line in
front of you, the salah is bottle. The
salah is void, and this has been happening
a lot. Somebody walk into the Masjid. He
wants to leave right away, so he prays
and makes it on online so he can
leave. That salat is void. You have to
repeat it. So please make sure that the
lines are full and the gaps are closed.
Just another quick reminder that this is the
last time there will be a 3rd.
There's no more 3rd. If you come next
week at 4 o'clock, you'll be praying alone.
There's nobody here. So 145
and 330. Only 2 khutba's, 145
and 330.
We started the 3rd khutba because of the
schools. Since the schools are closed,
when they reopen, we will start it all
over again.
