AI: Transcript ©
My dear beloved respected brothers and sisters, I
ask Allah
to bless me and you with
in everything that we say and everything that
we do.
If there's one thing that
all mankind
can agree on
whether it's Muslim, non Muslim, male,
female,
old, young,
is that
they don't wanna be
stressed.
They don't wanna be
anxious.
They don't wanna have any kind of
depression.
And Ibn Hazmrah he
said,
dispelling
anxiety
is a goal
upon
which all nations
agree upon
since Allah created the Dunia until the day
of judgment.
What
is
the status of a person
who is free
or who can
deal with stress and anxiety and depression,
what is that state that he's in?
That state in Arabic and this term is
one of those terms
that you cannot really get the actual translation.
A person with inshira
as sadr.
A person
whom the translation in the Quran it says
expansion of the chest
which is subhanallah, Allah has nothing to do
with inshirahas sadr.
A person with inshirahas sadr
is a person
that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala have granted a
huge huge blessing.
Without insirahas sadr we won't be able to
enjoy any act of worship.
I'm gonna keep repeating the term insirahasadar
and I will explain it first so when
I say it you know what I'm talking
about. What is insirahas sadr? It is the
enlightenment
of the heart
where the heart becomes
receptive
to spiritual
guidance.
A person within shirah sadr is a person
that feels
sense of relief,
sense of rest,
sense of reassurance,
sense
of contentment
in their soul.
A person with insirahas sadr
can easily
differentiate
between halal and haram.
A person with inshirah is
a person that hasten and rush to do
good.
That's why Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said in
the Quran,
The one whom Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gave
shirkhissur
to Islam,
he has noor from his Lord.
He has noor from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
That's why you know sometimes when you see
something
that is so haram
and your brother or your sister is doing
it and you say to yourself,
how can they not see it?
It's so obvious,
Habibi.
It's obvious to you because Allah gave you
They cannot see it. They do not have
that light that you got from Allah Azzawajal.
It is obvious to you
because Allah blessed you with
So make dua for that person for Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to expand their chest and
they see the halal from the Haram.
Allah
told us
in Surat
lanam, whomsoever
Allah wants to guide,
he will give him
to Islam.
We all know like we said yesterday, Yaghwan,
one of the greatest nima after the nima
of being a Muslim
is the nema of being guided.
The nema of Hidayah.
The nema of Hidayah.
And I always repeat this and I will
stop I will not stop repeating it.
The easiest part about our deen, the easiest
part of our deen is salat and siam
and zakat and Hajj and Umrah and reading
Quran.
This is the easiest part.
Everybody can pray and everybody fasts
and everybody donates.
The tough part is to put Islam
into action,
to live Islam, to apply Islam in our
daily life, to apply Islam in our transactions,
to apply Islam in our weddings, in our
funerals,
to apply Islam in our homes.
You see people
5 times a day in the Masjid and
they're up to here with interest.
You see people all the time in the
Masjid and they're selling and buying Haram. Something
is wrong,
something is not right.
So one of the greatest nama
that Allah
can bless someone is to guide him to
the truth,
to make him live Islam.
Claiming Islam is very easy.
Living Islam
is
the path to Jannah. So Allah is saying
Surah. It was the request of our beloved
Musa alaihis salam
when he said,
rab bishrahli sadri,
the dua that we all know. This is
a dua that Musa alaihis salam
asked Allah Azzawajal
and Allah
favored our beloved Muhammad Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam
without asking when he told him, alam nasrahlakasudraq.
Musa alaihi salam asked for it but it
was given as a gift to our beloved
Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam when Allah told him
didn't I give you Shahas Sadr?
My brothers and sisters,
now we know the importance of having Sharhas
Sadr in
How can we attain it?
How can I have my
How can I have my chest expanded? If
you wanna translate.
1st
and foremost,
tawheed.
We always hear the statement tawheed. La ilaha
illallah, brother
everyday I say La ilaha illallah habibi.
Tawheed, the real tawheed,
the unwavering
feeling
that Allah is in control,
that nothing happens without his permission,
that he will not test anyone more than
they can handle,
that he's the only one who can provide
for me.
How can I be stressed knowing
that Allah is the Razaq,
Allah is the provider? How can I be
stressed if I got a text,
today is your last day at work?
What should I do? Habibi, something is wrong.
That was a test for your tawhid.
That was a test for your Tawhid because
the one who texted does not control
your
Our
rizq, our provision is in the skies and
the heavens. Allah controls it. No one can
control it.
Believing
that Allah is in control.
One of the easiest ways
to attain
Sharjah Soder,
believing that he loves me
more than my own parents.
Would your parent put you in a situation
that you cannot handle and then punishes you
for not handling it?
Allah loves me more than my own mother.
He has more mercy
on me than my parents
believing in that
will make the Noor of Tawhid
give the person life like Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala said
Allah called the person without faith,
He called him as dead.
A woman kana matin, he is dead, And
when we gave him
the Iman, the belief in Allah, the La
ilaha illallah, he
became full of light so he can operate
during his daily life.
And the bottom line, Allahih, this ayah,
a number 107 in Surat Yunus
summarizes,
if we believe in this ayah,
anytime you are going through any kind of
anxiety,
difficulty,
stress, depression,
grief, anything, listen to this.
And if Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala test you
with any kind of harm,
no one,
no one can remove it except him. So
how can I go to others?
How can I beg others
when I know for a fact Allah, the
All Truthful told me no one can solve
it except him? That does not mean I
don't seek help. I take by the means
but my heart is attached
to the one in control, to Allah Azzawajal.
2nd,
the second reason to attain Sharhas Sadr,
to keep this tongue and this heart
in constant remembrance
of Allah azza wa Jal.
Remembrance of Allah
And the remembrance of Allah like we repeated
many, many times does not mean only
I say, SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah,
hola, ilaha illa, hola, hola, hola, hola, hola.
This is amazing. If your tongue is busy
with this all the time, that is amazing.
But dhikrila,
remembering
Allah,
the most important form of dhikr is when
to remember
Allah
when you're about to make a decision.
Should I buy this house or not?
Should I move there or not? Should I
marry this
or not?
That is the dhikr.
SubhanAllah,
alhamdulillah
should lead
to
that kind of dhikr. Allah
said, Allah
With the remembrance of Allah azza wa Jal,
the
the hearts will feel at ease which is
in Shiraha's Sadr.
The best form of remembrance is to read
the Quran,
to have a relationship with the Quran.
My beloved brother, my beloved sister, when was
the last time you opened the Quran? Most
of us will say Ramadan.
Why?
1 page. Just 1 page a day. One
page with tafsir, 1 page with translation,
but do not disconnect
yourself
from the book of Allah Azza wa Jal.
A page, just a page, 5 minutes maximum
a day. Keep the connection. This is a
form of dhikr, one of the best forms
of dhikr of Allah azza wa jal. And
he
told us, woman
And whomsoever
stay away from my
dhikr. Who's saying
this, our Khaluk,
our creator,
whomsoever stay away from my dhikr,
his and her decisions are controlled by their
desires.
What would people say about us if we
don't have music in our wedding?
What would people say about us if we
don't have the men and the women mixing
with each other and the women not dressed
properly? What would say what would people say
about us? What would they say? They're always
worried about people.
Stay away from my remembrance.
What happens, you Allah?
He will have a miserable life.
He or she will have a miserable life.
Go backward. I'm having a miserable life? Check
your relationship with Allah Azza wa Jal
because Allah said one of the reasons you
have a miserable life
is that you are away from remembering Allah
as zawajal.
And Allah
gave his Habib
a formula
when he's going through any kind
of difficulty. He said,
And we know you Muhammad
that
you're upset. They're calling you majnoon. They're calling
you crazy. They're calling you poet. They're calling
you this. They're calling you that.
If you're going through this,
and do a lot of salat
and do
a lot of salat.
One of the ways to have
is to follow the sunnah
of the one whom his is.
One of the ways to have
is to follow the path of the one
whom Allah Azzawajal
told him,
Following the sunnah of Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam to the best of our ability will
make.
You know, when you
or when we are imitating
the best man ever created,
what do I have to worry about?
His destination is Jannah.
His life was the best life. So what
am I worried about? I do my best
and I follow the sunnah to the best
of my ability.
Another
reason
is
to clean this heart
from hatred,
from malice, from envy, from jealousy,
from holding grudges.
You're always worried and you're always watching. What
did they buy? How could they afford it?
What when did he get the promotion? What
did their kids do? How did he become
a Hafiz? Why my son is not a
Hafiz? Why All the time your eyes are
looking at others and comparing.
You're not content
with what Allah has given you.
That
causes the constriction, the opposite of Sharhas Sadr.
Cleaning our heart from these diseases will give
us Sharhas Sadr.
One of the best ways
to get Shar Hasidr on a daily basis
is to attend Fajr in JAMA,
is to come to Fajr and Jannah
and for my sisters to pray Fajr on
time.
Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam told us
hadith that we all know that shaitan every
night he put 3 knots on our back.
And he would say to everybody,
sleep, sleep. You have a night, you have
a long night ahead of you. Sleep.
Rasool Allah said, if we wake up and
remember Allah,
we say or any kind of remembrance,
the first knot
is gone.
If we make kudu,
the second knot
is gone.
And then if we pray,
then the 3rd knot is gone and look
at the why did I use this hadith?
Look at the end what Rasool said, if
someone does that what happens?
Rasulullah
said whosoever
does that he will wake up full of
energy
with a beautiful Tawib
soul
And if he doesn't
lazy.
So if you are facing any kind of
laziness in your life, this is the cure.
Struggle and strive to get up for fajr.
Dua. If Musa alayhi salaam, one of the
best messengers ever sent to humanity
asked Allah for Sharhas Sadr. What about me
and you?
Ask Allah
Now you know how important it is. Now
you know how how it will change everything
in our life. Ask Allah,
You Allah.
You Allah, give me
And Rasulullah salallahu alayhi wasallam,
he taught us a dua.
And I'm gonna mention the dua, but listen
at the end what Rasoolah alaihi wa sallam
said.
Long dua, anybody is interested, I will give
it to you insha Allah. But at the
end,
because in this tua, I am admitting and
confessing
that I am a habt.
I am not the master.
I'm not in charge. I am Abt.
And I'm begging Allah Azzawajal
with every single name, with every single attribute.
He did not say at the end
after he mentioned all these praise,
get rid of my grief, get rid of
my
stress, he said.
And You Allah, make the Quran the spring
of my heart.
So we go back again.
What is your relationship with the Quran? And
listen to what Rasool alaihi wasallam said at
the end.
No one, subhanAllah, let me ask you a
question.
Do you believe Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam?
100%.
We believe them in everything. How to perform
wudu, how to make salat, how to perform
umrah, how to how much zakat,
everything everything.
Listen to what he said at the end
of this.
At the end of this hadith, he said,
no one
no one who says this dua
except
Allah will remove his grief
and replace it with joy.
No one who says this dua except Allah
will remove the sadness and the stress and
replace it with happiness and joy.
But I have to understand what I'm saying
and I have to say it from the
bottom of my heart, say it like I
mean it because the promise is there. The
promise is coming from the one who does
not lie,
as sadiq al ameen.
It's a promise from Rasulullah
sallallahu
alaihi wasallam.
So you have one stick to this
or these few reasons how
to attain
Sharhas Sadr begging Allah azza wa Jal to
give us a Sadr, to give us a
heart, to give us a chest that is
at ease,
wallahi, then and only then
you will
start understanding
how did the Sahaba live
with all the poverty, with all the jihad,
with all the issues that they went through,
how come they were always happy?
Please, brothers, come from the
hall and fill up the main room here.
Also, come out from those 2 rooms, please.

Close the gaps.

alayhim
