topographers of Joseon Alima. I'm about my dear brothers and sisters. Today's topic
may feel something, you know very basic for some of you. Some of you might feel like, okay, this is really basic. But for many,
I'm told it's needed information desperately needed. Because it has to do with this very day, in which on a weekly basis, we come together and gather for this particular act of worship.
You see, last week,
we had more than usual, in terms of the number of attendees everyone was off.
But if
the number here was larger
than any other masjid, I would have said, Okay, maybe people,
most people came here. But obviously, our students were off many people are off.
Obviously, there is a sense that people, some people, some adults have that I don't have to attend to every Friday.
And this is in and of itself as problematic. So that's one observation that I made. And maybe we'll address that some other time. But the other
observation that I made is that
whatever we think is basic for some of us, because we were raised upon these principles that the day of Juma is a sacred day is the the most important day of the week. It's a holiday.
This may not be necessarily the case for everyone.
And if it is, for the older generation, it might not be the case for the younger generation.
And time and again, myself and anyone that stands here any healthy whether it's in this budget or in any other masjid, we keep seeing and sometimes it's becomes very distracting to be honest with you, people violating some of the basic rules, and adapt and etiquette of July. So I thought it would be appropriate now as this may be the last footway given 2022 that I talk about this, so that we can consider, right, these very valuable Prophetic teachings regarding this very important day. First of all, this is a gift from Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, Allah azza wa jal preserved the celebration of this day for the ummah of Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, as those who are before
us, deviated from this,
do more is the best day in the eyes of Allah subhanho wa Taala is the best day of the week.
And Allah azza wa jal chooses certain days to make them or to declare them and designate them as sacred or important days. Just like Allah subhana wa Tala designates certain months to be sacred,
and so on and so forth.
So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Allah, Allah who I knew it meant Cana Atlanta, Ebola Allah who I need to do more it mankind a couple of Africana, Lilia, who do was subbed they chose Saturday. What kind of leanness autohelm went ahead, and then the salah chose Sunday for Jaya Allahu Bina for her Donna
Early on Mila Jumuah Allah subhanaw taala brought us and Allah azza wa jal guided us to the day of Joomla
Joomla was preserved for us
Fajr Allah, l Zhu, Murata was subtotal ahead.
And it turned out that Joomla followed by Sept. By Saturday what we call Saturday followed by I had what we call Sunday right? What can barely go home tomorrow 9am and pm so our day comes first
in the order of the week, right? Likewise they're going to be where the last OMA but we're going to be leading the rest of the boomers the last the rest of the nation's
national ask your own I mean Ali duniya Well,
we are the last the ladder uma yet on the Day of Judgment will be in the forefront.
Right Allah subhanaw taala will begin with us with OMA Prophet Mohammed sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, alma de la home capital halide
and the judgment of this ummah will take place before anyone else.
And we are also as Allah Subhana Allah mentions, we are the witnesses of Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah says Psychedelica Jana Mata was utterly Taku shahada Elena's so that you would be witnesses
for or against those who are before you.
And again, this is what Allah Subhana Allah has chosen for us.
So Allah subhanaw taala chose us and Allah Subhana Allah chose for us.
And now we have a critical choice to make as Muslims. Are we going to choose what Allah subhanaw taala chose for us?
That's a question that we need to ask ourselves. Right.
If you're able to hear my hula says that the day of Joomla is supposed to be right. Or it's meant to be
a yo yo Rahim Allah ano mil Joomla, who are the old lady used to have Bucha eautiful Ravi heliodor.
It is actually preferred that that on that day one
focuses on the worship of Allah subhanho wa taala.
If you can afford it, if you have the ability to take the entire day or part of this day, especially the hours leading to this moment, this particular gathering, then do so by all means, if you can lighten your workload
so that you can properly celebrate
and focus on the day of Juma do so by all means, and I really appreciate those of our brothers and sisters who on the day of genre, they do not distract themselves with as much as they will do it and any other day.
They want to take advantage of it. Really the sacrifice is actually worth it. And I ask that Allah Subhana Allah blesses them. And I asked Allah subhanho wa Taala to reward them and those who cannot and they're trying their best male loss of habitat anymore.
And some of you might be thinking right now as I go on, okay, well Llahi I know a bunch of people that need this at least we're here early.
And some of some of the information I am intentionally delaying until towards the end of the football.
But the hope is that we convey this message that this crowd, you you actually transmit this and you share it and we spread within this community, the culture of really celebrating the day of Juma
and that we pass on that to our children.
It's a serious Day a day that needs to be treated as a sacred day for it is a sacred day.
And of the merits and the virtues of this day. The first one is that Allah subhanho wa Taala made it a day of read for us.
Yama Juma is our weekly eat. It should be treated like the day of Eden fertile.
We dress up we come to the masjid, we congregate we congregate, congratulate one another, we, you know, remember Allah subhanho wa taala. We make salawat on the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And I remember, you know, in the old days I remember as young kids we used to look forward for the day of Juma because there were special treats that would be offered to us on the day of Juma from the elders of our family members and from our neighbors. They have Jumar was was a big deal. We looked forward to the day of Juba
right. And I don't see anything wrong with
reviving that. It's not a sunnah it's not a tradition, but that habit or that are creating a culture around the day of tomorrow, so that our kids, right appreciate this day and love it.
So,
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us
that Gibreel
came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
and designated the day of Juma as a day of read of festivity
for the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and his ummah. So, he said Lita Cornella carry then when he told me coming Baddeck wala comfy her higher there is good and Baraka
in the day of Juma
there was a special gift delivered to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam through Gibreel. Number two, the day of Jumeirah is the best day of the week.
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, Allahu Allah, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
Allah Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the Messenger of Allah peace and blessings of Allah be upon him said hi Yomi Tala fish shrimps, your will.
The best day the sunrises on is the day of Jumeirah fee holy Adam, on that day Adam was created. So our story as human beings as children of Adam begins on that day. This is the not birth but the day Adam was created. The day Adam was made. This is the day humanity started. He he Holika Adam, well, he prevailed. And on that day, fee holy Adam Murphy who built and on that day he descended upon Earth. So our history on this planet also began on that day. Well, he TV LA. And on that day, Allah subhanho wa Taala granted Adam repentance or accepted Adams repentance, and granted Adam forgiveness, that's the day of His Atonement.
Well, he he prevailed, and Adam Alayhis Salam
died on that day.
Well, if he takamasa and our story, just like Adams life ended on the day of Jumeirah, our story as Benny, Adam, as the children of Adam,
will come to an end on this day, this is our beginning and on on a day like this on a day of
the story or the history of humanity will end as well.
So
a day of Joomla should be something that we take advantage of look forward to and be thankful to Allah subhanaw taala that today's not the Day of Judgment.
Be thankful for Allah subhanaw taala that we still have at least another week
before anything else, right? celebrate this day and ask Allah azza wa jal to grant us a better week, a blessed week.
Number three, on the day of Joomla there are certain Sunon there are certain adab that are highly recommended
by the Prophet sallallahu ala so these are established Sunon such as taking a bath Listen, also the only Joomla and to take care of our oral hygiene and to put on perfume to dress up so that we show the greatness of this day.
And in some schools effect is considered a wajib.
The ones that have to do these things, to take a bath today to make Goossen on the day of Joomla is wajib.
Number four,
the Salah, the Fajr. Prayer of the Joomla is better than any other prayer.
So Allah to superheavy GEMA to pray that
the prayer the failure to pray the Salah, to pray that in Gemma in the masjid, right
on the day of Juma is better than the rest of the prayers. And even the Rama Radi Allahu Anhu on the authority of Omar May Allah Subhana Allah be pleased with him and his father. He said kala Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the amygdala sada word here in the law he Salah to sube Hey, yo, Mel, uma RTV Gemma
to begin with the praying and Fajr ngema
is a great virtue. A person will be in the protection of Allah subhanaw taala for the rest of the day. But if you cannot do it any other day, except one day, let it be human humor on the day of Joomla make sure that from now on that you don't miss it in Joomla
Do your best. Get up early, make your whistle come to the masjid pray and take advantage of this blessing
number five. As a matter of fact, I'm going to delay that for later in sha Allah Tala.
Number seven, I'm going to skip five and six and I'll come back to them Michelle with them.
Number seven
there are there are things there are practices that are highly recommended throughout the whole week, but on the day of Jumeirah,
they have a special status because of the status of the day. All of this shows the importance of Jamara
it is said
on the authority of I will say loterie that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said the Hamsun and I want you to pay attention to this. This should become something that we pursue and that we engage in. Right. And this might be new to some Hamsun
Mann amela who Nephi Yeoman cateva hula hoop and Alice Jana, there are five things. Whoever does these five things on the same day, Allah azza wa jal will register that person to be from the people of Ghana.
Now you may be familiar with full, you know, four of them or three out of the five, if whoever does that, those things in one day.
Right.
But there's, there are a couple of additions, man Adam and Ilan.
Whoever visits a sick person
any day of the week.
However, you do it on the day of Joomla there's added reward, while Shahida Jenner has attend and witnesses a funeral.
And one of the virtues or one of the good signs is if a believer dies on the eve of Joomla or dies on the day of Joomla and or is buried
on the day of Joomla.
And today,
at three o'clock at the cemetery
there will be
double slots of janazah it's one Salah for two individuals, a brother and a sister that passed away May Allah Subhana Allah have mercy upon both of them
wa salam ala woman, whoever fast a day, a day of the week.
Wala haoma uma and on the day of Juma
leaves his place early for the salah makes it early. Why Takara Baba and freeze a slave.
Whoever does these things, Allah subhana wa Taala will
prescribe him or will register him as one of the people of agenda
on the day of Joomla Another virtue of the day of Joomla number eight
is that the province of Allah why do you assign them recommended that on the eve and the day of Jumeirah that we increase sending salutations and blessings to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
acts through a Salah to Allah Yama Juma when a letter Jumuah the Prophet SAW Selim recommended that on Salah Alia Salette and Salah Allahu Allah He Ashra
whoever sends one Salam one salah, one salutation, one
Salah on the Prophet SAW Selim, right, the promises have said Allah will reward him or respond to him with 10.
So this is the day when we're supposed to increase our Salawat on the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, or as it's called in Urdu delusory
This is the day Allahumma Salli ala Muhammad Ali Mohammed didn't come out so late today Rahim Ali Brahim or Barack
Obama didn't come about Abdullah Ibrahim Ali Ibrahim in Naka, Hamidah Majid and for Salawat on the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam there is there is a secret a lot of people don't either know or appreciate even if they know it.
That when you dedicate
your prayers and your Salawat you know on the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
that there are many blessings that come your way. Some that you may be able to realize and some, they go unnoticed.
Of the blessings is what the prophets Allah mentioned in this hadith, Allah azza wa jal responds to you.
And when Allah responds to you with His blessings, what do you think is going to happen?
One of the beautiful fruits of
Salawat on the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam is that brings peace it restores peace, inner peace and brings serenity and tranquility in your life.
And if you don't believe me you have to try
or ask those people who constantly do salah and the prophets Allah Allah Allah
brings comfort to the heart Allahumma Salli ala Muhammad Ali Muhammad and Allah Azza wa salam ala him in Salah Attica second Allah whom
you see, someone might say, well that's in his lifetime some Allahu Allah your son, where Allah told him, right, bless them and pray for them. Oh Mohamed, for your prayers for them.
Brings Second, it brings inner peace, tranquility and serenity for them insalata Kazakh canola hum it calms them down, it helps them
but the province has told us that anytime we send our salutations to him salAllahu alayhi wa sallam, Allah azza wa jal will allow him to respond to each and every single one of us.
I'm not calling it Attica, rasool Allah He did in the province and said, I'm teaching us that. He said every time you greet me or send you send your greetings and salutations to me, Allah azza wa jal Illa Raja Hiroshi the process Headlam will actually respond to you.
And the process and I'm told to obey when he said I will dedicate all my prayers for you messenger of Allah Azza wa sallam he said to him, he then took for a hammock.
While you will follow them book,
then your worries will be taken care of. You won't have any worries
and your sins will be forgiven.
And the day the product selling recommends that we do this the most is the day of tomorrow. So we have to take advantage of it. Increase right your intake of
Salawat on the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
number nine and listen to this
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
said that
anyone
that witnesses the day of Jehovah witnesses the gathering
in the hadith of Salman so it's not a very long Hadith but the Prophet talks about laughter sutra you don't Yeoman Yeoman? It were Takaharu Masako? I'm in Turin
where the Hanuman Dhoni
are we I'm assuming levy Beatty. So my afro
nine two male Salima cootie Bella who may also tweet that 11 Imam Illa Wolfie Rhonda who Marina who are being illuminated okra said it is in the potty. Prasanna talks about how anyone that takes a bath, anyone that puts on perfume and grooms himself to the best of his ability.
Anyone that goes to salatu Jumeirah does not cause any division between two individuals, literally or metaphorically speaking, and then comes early enough to pray their sunnah. And then when it's time for the sermon, the person listens and does not engage in anything that actually could nullify their uma avoided the process and said, whoever does that
his sins will be forgiven until the following Juma.
His sins will be forgiven.
And then number 10. On the day of Joomla the prophesy Selim tells us there is an hour where your draft will not be rejected, your draft will be answered. You won't want to do more artists Natasha razza la vie have the Muslim yes Allah has che and Tahoe yeah filter Mitsuha I think that the last the last hour after also according to the hadith of Abu Dawood on the authority of Javelin Abdullah is when Allah subhanaw taala he said 12 hours you want to Joomla has 12 periods 12 sections or 12 hours 12 periods.
And one of these in the process element this particular narration reveals which which hour it is the last hour of the day of Joomla. Your dua will not be rejected, it will be answered and then many other benefits and merits and virtues for the day of Joomla let's celebrate this day the way we're supposed to. Let's teach our children the importance of this day. I still owe you two very important virtues Inshallah, that I will share with you. In the second quarter. I asked Allah Subhana Allah to make you and I have those who listen and follow the best of where they listen to a call to huddle called WhatsApp for Allah. Hi Lea welcome for Sophia Fila calm in the Hall of Fame
All right
Alhamdulillah
Alhamdulillah he WorkCover wa Salatu was Salam, O Allah evading letting him have stuff. What about
two very important points about the virtues of the day of Joomla
point number one
the earlier you come for the Salah, the better off you are the earlier you come for you more, the better off you are.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, in a beautiful Hadith long Hadith manufacture Salah Yama Umrah was Halal Jana Abba, whoever takes a bath does the hosel of a Geneva fool was it?
So Mara Have you sat in order and then goes to the masjid in the first hour.
And I know in some in some cultures, people pray for you in the masjid. They go home, they have breakfast, they take a bath.
They dress up, they go back to the masjid and they stay there
forget and nema barraba bandana. It is as if this person
sacrifice a camel.
Well Murrah have sati Fannia whoever goes in the second hour. These are the hours leading to Joomla
taka adenoma, cassava dakara it is as if that person sacrifice a cow
visa vie Lila and we know in sacrifice there was a lot of reward.
Well, my love is that is that is a Fergana Bala, the caption Archon
whoever goes into the third hour before Juma then it is as if he or she sacrificed a ram. Well, Mara Have you sat at your Robbia taka and nema barraba Dejagah
and whoever goes in the fourth hour before Jumuah it is as if that person sacrifice a chicken.
Now remember that we're offering this to Allah azza wa jal. Well Marla Have you sat in harmie Sir, can nama Rob available.
And whoever goes in the fifth hour and this is the last hour, it is as if that person sacrificed or gave away
an egg.
Now let me ask, may Allah have forgive me and forgive all of us, which one of us appreciates? When you go to someone's house, or you go to visit a friend especially you go back home or you go somewhere to visit someone? Which one of us appreciates.
Right? Being given as a gift.
Egg.
In some cultures, if you offer a chicken to your guests, it's an insult.
The least is that you slaughter what a lamb
or two or three or four
we're visiting Allah subhanaw taala we're coming to the house of Allah subhanaw taala what is it that we want to bring with us to Allah azza wa jal and I'm not saying practically speaking, and I'm not trying to guilt you into right. I'm not trying to say that it's practically speaking, it's a huge challenge and law somehow to Allah knows that we may not be able to do this, we're not able to do that not everyone is able to do that. This may not be But as these deep in our hearts, we should have the desire to want to do that. If had we have the ability to do it, and those who have the ability to do it, do it even if it's once in your lifetime.
I mean, when we go for Umrah when we go to we do that because we you know that if you go past nine or 10 o'clock you're not going to find a place inside the house. So you go early. We do it we go we sit we read Quran, it's an amazing spiritual experience.
So
and glad tidings to those who are able to do this on a regular basis. May Allah Subhana Allah bless him, but at least once in a lifetime, we should be able to to try to do this
for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala.
But practically speaking, again, it's not feasible for most people to do this because it's a work day for for almost 90% of the population.
So should we
Then just come at the end at the end of the hotbar just to pray the terracotta and leave.
That shouldn't be our regular habit if it happens once or twice or a year. It's understandable.
But we should make you know we should put the effort we should schedule we should. We should really do our best to be there at least to catch the hook or at least to be able to offer an egg. The process I mean another Hadith he talked about how the angels come and they write down the names of every attendee that comes for Umrah.
Everyone's name is going to be written until the Imam goes on the mimbar and says salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
And sometimes, you know, I see brothers as I'm coming they're like they're slowing me down. Wait, don't go don't go.
Alright, so I'm like a minute or two, like just so they can make it so the name would be added to the schedule to the to the book of record.
And the problem says Adam says once the Imam says a Salam or Aleikum and greets the congregation, the angels close that book. They no longer take names of attendees. They don't register anymore. They close it and they sit down and they listen.
So we should we should make this our habit My dear brothers and sisters, especially for the brothers May Allah Subhana Allah bless you may Allah azza wa jal reward you and those who are struggling May Allah azza wa jal ease your struggle.
The last point they have Joomla has some very important etiquette, especially when you attend the congregation or the sermon, I'm going to highlight one particular etiquette that I see being violated all the time. May Allah subhanaw taala help us before I mentioned that, the last point is that when you go to Joomla the products and sell them talks about
the reward of a person that goes to pray Joomla
whether that person writes, actually by the way, it's better to walk and not to write. So
glad tidings and congratulations to those who live
right within walking distance from the machine they actually walk to the masjid May Allah Subhana Allah bless you. May Allah azza wa jal bless the investment that you made right? And may Allah azza wa jal allow the rest of us to actually compete with you and be able to really get ourselves a property where we can walk to the machines from it right? The problem is I'm gonna Hadith says, well my shower when I'm your cup, it's better to walk not to write but that's fine if you write you will be rewarded as well.
Right. So the process having said that every step,
cannula will be coolly how to what enamel Lucena or you will see me how a piano
and this is why I totally get it. I totally get why some of our some of these blessed families and some of our brothers and sisters decided to get a property nearby so that they can practice this. The Prophet said for every step the person will will receive the reward of an entire year of fasting empty and doing PM
manleigh salah, Yama lumati Watterson walbeck Cairo of TechHub well Masha when I'm Jakob well then I'm in an imam he was somehow our alum while I'm young. Canada will be equally hot what in Amman who sent it in Agile also Yamaha Kamiya what what an immense amount of reward. And in this particular Hadith, there is something that the prophets Allah mentions, and I'll close with that. This is there's a condition you can walk from Germantown
to the masjid here. There's a condition in here that will ensure that the person gets that reward you can do everything, the process someone has said and said the person does not engage level. So what is level?
What is level what is this particular adverb or rule that a lot of people violate?
There is human and Sharla is accepted, but how much reward they get out of it. scholars said if a person engages in level that person loses the reward of of Juma they fulfill their obligation.
What is level the Prophet gave and different examples of level. Listen, listen up to this. In one example, the Prophet SAW Selim says Men must sell husafell cat lover
whoever touches pebbles or little rocks, touches them or plays with them. Then that person has committed lo
has distracted himself and those around him Allah Allah, Allah and that person loses the reward misses out on the reward of Juma What is the story of pebbles? What is the promise I'm talking about rocks, little rocks, you see the magic of
Problem Solving didn't have fancy carpets like the one that we have no. It used to have, it was dirt. They had little pebbles. So sometimes people will do too. And we'll play with them the process and said, Don't do that. Don't distract yourself focus, listen to the hotbar. Even if you don't fully understand it or appreciate it, or you don't appreciate the speaker, that's fine. Try to focus.
Right? So don't do that.
What would be equivalent to it is to doodle in the carpet.
What would be equivalent, it may be worst is to play with your cell phone.
Right. And I received so many complaints, people saying that when a person when the person next to me is playing with their cell phone or their texting or their whatever, they're going down there. When they're doing that they're distracting the people around them. So not only is he distracted, but that person is distracting the people around him or her. That's the last thing that you want to do. And sorry for prolonging the hotter, but this is very important. It's very frustrating that people come and they make it and they're trying to focus and listen. And then someone is playing with their phone or their smartwatch.
Right. So that is a habit that we don't want to see. That's a practice we don't want to see.
Right? Likewise, you shouldn't be talking in the hotbar or speaking to the person you should even respond to the salam if someone says salam aleikum, you shouldn't even tell someone who's making noise to be quiet monk pilots lobby was good. In the Hadith it says whoever says to the person next to him be quiet. So I'd love a
complete silence.
So please pay special attention to this edit this this this etiquette is very important. You don't want to be the cause for your own doom, or the reward of your humor to be to be lost or anyone else's, for that matter. May Allah Subhana Allah bless you, my dear brothers and sisters, please pray for
