AI: Transcript ©
My dear, beloved, respected brothers and sisters, I
ask
Allah
to make me anew from the people
who are blessed with sincerity in everything they
say and and everything they do.
So this magician is telling his story,
and he said, I was
in one of these
carnivals
doing my act.
And the act was fascinating. I was standing
there, and I told my friend to throw
knives
at my chest, and I'm taking them on
my chest, and everybody is
amazed
by the act. Everybody's cheering.
And then
a man
with a white thobe and a miswak in
his hand,
he passed by, looked at me,
took the miswak out and said,
and he recited
Ayatul Kursi.
The minute he finished the ayah, the blood
started shooting from my body
because the people did not know
that I have a deal with the jinn.
They created a shield in front of me.
And when they heard the Quran like Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala said,
The minute you remember Allah, the minute you
mention Allah, they run away. They flee.
So the minute they
left,
now I'm feeling the pain and the ache,
3 months in the hospital surgeries,
therapy, and my whole goal in life is
to ruin that man's life. So every day
I used to send the jinn and tell
them to ruin his life, ruin his home,
ruin his business,
and they every night come back fruitless.
And I was wondering because I used to
send them in the past with much tougher
missions, and they used to come successful.
So when
I asked,
what's going on?
Listen, my brothers and sisters,
they said
we can't do anything to this man.
This man,
he never misses Fajr and Jannah.
He never misses fajr
in jamaah.
Our beloved prophet
said the truth when he said, whomsoever pray
Fajr in Jama'ah
He's under the protection of Allah.
Under the protection of Allah.
My brothers and sisters, a Ibadah
that has been neglected.
Whether it's fajr on time
or fajr in jama'a, a Ibadah that has
been neglected
to the level that our children now they
think that the salawat are for because
no one is up at 6 AM. The
house is dark. Everybody's sleeping.
And they think that fezr is when you
wake up. You wake up at 9, fezr
is at 9. You wake up at 10,
fezr is at 10. This is what I
see my dad doing every day.
My brothers and sisters, this eidah is so
precious that the adim himself swore by it.
When he said wal fajr, he named the
surah after it.
It is the last salat that our beloved
salallahu alaihi wasallam prayed.
It is the most beloved salah to Allah
when he said, sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
Salatil fajr of Jumu'ah in Jama'ah,
the salah that we prayed before this is
the most beloved salah to Allah, salatul fajr
of Friday in congregation.
It's not only that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
have commanded
the angels
to descend
from the 7th heaven to attend the salat.
When he said,
He did not say that about any other
salat, but he said the Quran, the recitation
of the Imam of Fajr is Mashud, is
witnessed by the angels.
So the angels are coming from 7th heaven
and I live 7 minutes away. I live
7 blocks away, and I'm snoring.
My brothers and sisters,
I will mention a few
rewards and incentives
to make me
and you get encouraged
to come and pray fajal in jama'ah.
And before I start, I just wanna tell
my sisters so they will not think that
this khotra is not for them.
My sisters, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is so
merciful,
so great
that he granted you the same rewards that
you will hear right now
by praying in the luxury of your own
home.
If you come to the Masjid, you are
welcome. But if you pray at home, you
will get the same reward as your husband
that you pushed to go to the Masjid.
Imagine
a new
mother. She just had a baby. She has
to get all her kids. You Allah, let's
go to the masjid. SubhanAllah.
From his mercy, you pray at home and
I will give you the same on time
and I will give you the same reward
as your husband who went to the Masjid.
So
the first reward is the one we mentioned
under the protection of Allah. Wallahi, if the
Khutba ended here,
that should be sufficient.
Under the protection of Allah, not a superpower,
not bodyguards,
not tanks, not
5 helicopters on top of me, 70
Range Rovers around me. Allah, under the protection
of Allah the whole day.
As a matter of fact, when the ulama
was were explaining
the meaning of under protection of Allah, they
said, open your ears. They said,
it is haram.
It
is haram
to harm a person that prayed fajruljamaah.
You're committing a major sin if you harm
a person that prayed fajr in jamaah.
2nd,
Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam told us on
the day of judgment there will be a
sirot.
There will be a path
that we all have to cross.
This path is thinner than the hair, sharper
than the sword,
and
complete darkness.
Complete darkness. And
Rasulullah told us,
Give the glad tidings to the people who
walk to the Masajid
in the darkness, Asha and Fazil, with complete
light on the day of judgment while everybody
is struggling on the siroth.
Rasulullah
said, some would have a major light, some
would have a light like a palm tree,
and some would have a small light like
their toe only. But
the people of Israel and Asia,
complete light on that day.
Allah told us in Surat Hadid,
the true believing men and true believing women,
they will have light on that day.
Every single one of us, every single Muslim
wish and hope for
that his final destination will be Jannah.
He said,
Whomsoever pray birdain, he will enter the Jannah.
You Rasulullah,
what is the birdain?
He said
fajr
and Asr.
On top of that,
He will not enter the hellfire. A person
that prayed a salat
before sunrise, fajr, and a salat before sunset,
Asr.
Every year,
many people complain
about the price of Hajj.
And every year it's going up and up,
higher and higher.
SubhanAllah, look at the mercy of Allah.
Look at the mercy of Rasulullah salallahu alaihi
wa sallam.
You do 5 things
and you can have
360
Hajj
a year.
The reward of Hajj.
How you Rasulullah.
Five things.
Come to Fajr in Jannah.
Stay in the same
masjid.
Remember Allah. And you come to the masjid
in Jama'ah. You stay in the same masjid.
You don't leave and come back.
And you stay not talking about business and
no. No. You're remembering Allah. Whether you're on
your own, you're reading Quran, sitting in a
halaqa,
you wait for the sun to rise.
After that, 10, 15 minutes,
you pray 2 rakah.
Whosoever does that,
he will get the reward of Hajj
and Umrah.
Tam.
Tam. Tam.
Complete. Hajj and Umrah. Complete. Three times. Does
he have to say it 3 times?
Complete.
Complete. Complete.
The whole thing is 45
minutes to 1 hour. You don't have to
leave your city. You don't have to pay
money. You don't have to leave your family.
No Muzdalifa, no Arafa, no Mina, no Jamarat,
no nothing.
And you will get the same as promised
by Rasulullah as if you went to Hajj.
Of course that does not drop Hajj from
you. You still have to go to Hajj.
But look at this look at this huge
reward. Can you imagine?
Can you imagine just doing this small effort?
Yeah. You don't do it every day. Once
a week,
once a month, whatever you can. But how
can I let something like this go?
But one of the conditions
is to pray
the first one, fajr in jannah. And my
sister, you will get the same thing. When
you finish your salat at home, you stay
in your
making the adkar of the Saba, reading Quran,
and then you pray after the shuruq. In
10, 15 minutes, you pray your turakah.
Allah
told us Whoever does righteous deeds, male or
female, there's no difference.
Rasulullah
told us that the best salat
after fard,
the best salat are the 5 daily prayers.
What's the best salat after that? Priam, tahajjud,
getting up in the middle of the night.
Faib.
Rasoolallah
said,
whomsoever pray fajr whomsoever pray isha in jama'ah
as if he stayed half of the night
in qiyam.
And whomsoever completed
by praying fajr in Jannah
as if he stayed
the whole night in salat.
9:30 Isha, 5:30 Fajr, 8 hours as if
I am 8 hours praying qiyam
just because I came to Isha and fashr
in Jama'ah.
Yani, if I prayed Isha last night and
I prayed fashr today in Jannah,
tonight
I will be sleeping and snoring and the
angels will record
Qa'im.
He's praying tajjud.
For what?
5, 10 minutes,
come to Isha, 10, 15 minutes to fajr,
and you will get this reward.
The whole
night.
Allah
boasts about the person who come to Fajr
in JAMA'H
to the angels.
That Allah
Look at my abd.
He jumped out of his bed.
He left the comfort of his home.
He left the company of his spouse.
And he came
to the salat and the masjid,
hoping of what I have
and out of fear of what I have.
My brothers and sisters,
every night you put the alarm for fajr,
I want you to remember
That Allah
or that
there's a additional statement in the adhan
of fajr.
Salat is better than sleeping. That's only in
fajr.
So when the alarm goes off,
now
there's a battle
between my desire
and my iman.
My desire is saying,
sleeping is better than salat.
And my iman is saying,
your master said the time is now, not
when you wake up.
When I pray whenever I want, I'm telling
Allah, You Allah, I have no time for
you right now. When I wake up I
will pray.
This is exactly what we're doing, and I'm
not saying about the one who misses once
in a blue moon. I'm talking about the
guy who Khalas Fajr is off. So whoever
wins, if you get up and you prayed,
Allahu Akbar.
But if you kept pressing this news
until you opened one eye and you sneaked
and you saw that the sun is up.
Not good.
Why? Kaad Rasulullah
sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
The heaviest
the heaviest salat on the munafiq,
Fajr An Isha in Jema.
The heaviest salat
some people sometimes they get upset from the
speaker.
But keep in mind, I'm saying,
The heaviest salat on the hypocrite is Fajr
al Isha in Jema'ah. And listen to what
he said.
And if they know what kind of reward
is in them, who's telling us this, our
guide to Jannah?
If they know what I know, yeah. In
other words,
if they know what kind of reward in
them,
If they knew the reward
they will come
crawling
You will come to the Fajr and Ishra
crawling.
Allah, you don't have to crawl.
We all have cars.
And I always wonder, subhanAllah, I was telling
the brothers the other day,
and I want you to live this moment.
How did the Sahaba come to fajr?
How did they wake up?
No alarm.
Right?
No hot and cold water, and we know
how hard it is to get the water.
The cold weather of of Medina is unbelievable
sometimes.
Let's say that,
it rained.
The whole
track will be muddy.
And on top of all that, listen carefully,
they used to say,
if we missed someone from the Sahaba in
Fajr, we used to doubt his iman.
What if he woke up with Janaba? He
has to make ghusl.
And me and you, I can start the
car from home
and
get into a leather. Brother told me that
my steering wheel is heated.
Sitting in the leather,
coming to the masjid,
2 inches of carpet,
air condition,
and I still
still either misfidger
or don't pray in Jema.
Jama.
My brothers and sisters,
beg Allah
to make me and you from the people
of Fajr.
We all know the story of the wife
of the Aziz
When she heard about the gossip about her
and Yusuf alaihi salaam, she gathered all the
elite women
of the community,
and she made a lavish banquet. And she
gave every single one of them a knife.
And then she told Yusuf,
alayhis salam, uhroj alayhim, come out.
And they told Yusuf, come out. He came
out. When they saw him, they could not
believe. They cut
they cut their hands without even noticing. And
they said, no, no, no. This is no
way this is a human being.
This is an angel.
What does that have to do with our
topic?
If that was the reaction
of looking
at the at
a creation,
how about
looking at the creator himself?
It will make you forget everything that happened
in this dunya.
Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam gathered the Sahaba one
time and it was the middle of the
month and the moon was full. He said,
do you see the moon? They said, yes.
You are Rasulullah. So beautiful. He said, you
will see Allah.
You will see Allah
as clear as we see the moon right
now, but
you should not miss a salat before sunrise,
fajr, and a salat before
sunset, Asr. So if you want to be
from the people who see Allah, which is
the best
reward in Jannah, make sure you are consistent
on fajr
and Assur.
Some of the tools that will help me
and you get up for fashr. Number 1,
Nothing happens
without the permission of Allah.
Beg Allah to make you from the people
of fashr. 2,
sleep early,
You think you're gonna sleep at 3 AM,
you're gonna get up at 5? It's impossible.
Sleep early.
Say the adkar before you sleep. The last
2 aya of bakkara. Ayaatulkursi.
Qulhuallallahu ahadulfalak and nast 3 times each. Subhanallah30
3. 33. Allahu Akbar 34. All the adkar
of the masa, they're right there adkar of
the sleeping. They're right there on your phone.
Sit down at the edge of the bed.
5, 6 minutes, you're done.
Make wudu before you sleep.
Ask someone in the family to wake you
up. Put the alarm and put it far
away from you so you can make an
effort to get up and turn it off.
Now if you did all that
and still not getting up,
I would answer you like the Hassan al
Basri, rhaman Allah, answered.
You're taken by all the means
and you're still
not getting up or not coming to the
masjid.
Your sins have chained you down. Your backbiting,
your riba,
your alcohol, your smoking,
your gossip,
you're taking off the hijab, all these things
have chained you down. That's why you're not
able to get the honor of being from
the people of
Fajr?
When my
when our kids
hit puberty,
they become as
responsible
as us.
So wake up your children
for fajr.
Wake them up especially when they become
adults, when they hit the puberty.
A sister
waking up her daughter for fajr,
teenage daughter,
said, mama, get up for fajr.
And you know how the teenage
kids, mama, leave me alone. I want to
rest.
She told her, wallahi,
I'm only waking you up so you can
rest.
I'm only waking you up
so you can rest.
My brothers and sisters,
of the management of the masjid,
they said
whomsoever come to Fajr,
every person will get $1,000
daily.
None of us will misfavor. As a matter
of fact, we will call our family members
overseas out of the state to move next
to because they're giving a $1,000 a day.
But one condition
with one condition,
If you moo if you lose or you
miss once without a valid excuse, you have
to give all the money back.
Will you miss Fajr?
Allah, you will not miss a day.
You will not miss one day.
Well,
The 2 sunnah of Fajr.
Forget about the Fard. The Fard is a
different story. The 2 sunnah of Fajr
better than the whole duniya
and everything in it,
its banks, its gold, its diamonds, its oceans,
its mountains,
sky,
moon, sun.
The turakah of sunnah of Fajr is better
than the whole dunya
and everything in it, not a $1,000.
So where are you praying, Fraser, tomorrow?
My brothers and sisters,
some of the
and I'm looking
at many brothers here that are are already
from the people Fajr, and they probably said,
this hut was not for me. Well,
Hamibi,
if you are from the people whom Allah
honored to be from the people of Fajr,
every single day
be extremely grateful to Allah because the alarm
did not go off without his permission.
The car did not start without his permission.
You did not make it to the masjid
without his permission. It's all because of him.
Don't ever think it's because of you. You
made the effort and Allah looked at your
heart and saw sincerity, so he made it
easy for you. It's an honor
from Allah to welcome you in his house
at 5 AM.
We do not let anybody in our house
at 5 AM.
Imagine the king of kings
permitted me and made it easy for me,
so I have to be extremely grateful. So
this nema
will be maintained,
will last.
Whomsoever favor the pillow
over the fajr,
he has lost
the happiness.
Please come
fill up the main hall.
Come from the 2 rooms and the hallway
and fill up the main hall.
The sunnah is for the khateep to read
the salat,
but because I there was a masjid, had
an emergency, I have to go Khutba there,
so I prayed already. I'm gonna pray behind
Imam Masjid, our imam from INT. He will
lead the salat insha'allah, and I will pray
behind him as a sunn insha'allah.
Come at
this
along.
Is
at 9:45. Is it treasure is at 5:45.
Make the effort to come, and Allah, subhanahu
wa ta'ala, will make it easy for us,
inshaAllah. Please, on your way out, support our
Masjid. You know, this masjid operates on your
donations. May Allah bless you and protect you.
And the donation of Jum'ah is better than
donation of any other day because of the
blessed day of
Jum'ah.
