Allah, our Lord and Master and creator, the one true God, the Most Merciful, the most excellent, the
Most High. We praise Allah and we think him as he is entitled to our praise and gratitude. We ask
Allah for guidance. We ask Allah for steadfastness upon guidance, we ask Allah for protection from
all evil and harm. And we ask Allah subhana wa tada for forgiveness. We bear witness that there is
no one nothing worthy of worship except Allah alone. And we bear witness that Muhammad sallallahu
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:36
			alayhi wa sallam is his last and final prophet and messenger. We beg a lot to shower our beloved
messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam with compliments and salutations, and to do so upon
his family and his companions and all of those who follow his son, his tradition until the end of
time. Allah subhana wa tada commanded us commanded the believers to have Taqwa of him, as it is his
rights, to have awareness and consciousness of Allah subhana wa Tada. To be in a state of obedience
and submission to Allah. And to always be protecting yourself from falling into actions that
displease and anger Allah.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:52
			The companion, Abu horiontal, the Allahu taala, and who was seen in the city of Medina after the
death of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, surrounded by a group of eager listeners,
		
00:01:53 --> 00:02:13
			and a man who was traveling and visiting the city entered and saw this group huddled and gathered so
passionately and listening so intently. And so he waited until this group dispersed. And this man
approached Abu huraira probably a lot more and, and he asked him a very interesting question.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:36
			He said to him, I want you to inform me to relate to me, a hadith and narration, a, quote, a
statement of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that you yourself directly heard from the mouth
of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And that was pseudolus said to you in complete privacy.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:57
			No one else was around. I want to hear that statements. So I will hotel I said to this man, I will
relate to you a statement of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that he said to me, I heard
directly from his mouth, and no one was around. He said it to me in complete privacy.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			And I will begin to relate the Hadeeth
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:16
			and he said, the Messenger of Allah said to me, yeah, about hula. And as he began to relate the
Hadeeth Shahada button, a hula began to choke. And then he collapsed on his side.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:35
			And when he regained his strength, and he sat up, he attempted to relate the headings again. He
said, The Messenger of Allah said to me, oh, Abu hooray Allah. And as he began to utter the words of
the Messenger of Allah, again, he lost all strength and energy and he fell down.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:43
			Clearly, he was moved by the statement of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
		
00:03:44 --> 00:04:11
			he attempted a third time. And again, as he said, the Messenger of Allah said to me, you're about
hudl, you're wrong. And then he fell. This mandus traveler held him up, propped him up, and
encouraged him until I finally was able after several attempts to complete the narration. And he
said, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to me,
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:31
			in a world nursey, Jacobo malkia materialet origin is to shahida the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said, of the first people on the Day of Judgment, that will be sent to punishment was an
individual who was actually a martyr.
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:47
			Who was someone that sacrificed everything they have, including the most valuable thing they have
their life in a endeavor in a path to protect and preserve the religion.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			How is that possible?
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:54
			The Hadith continues and Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			that this man will be brought before Allah
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:15
			deja vu near Emma Who? The Allah subhana wa tada will remind this man of the blessings of Allah upon
him. Allah will mention the blessing of strength, the blessing of ability, that this individual had
physical strength and ability
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:22
			and this individual will will recognize all of these blessings of Allah, you will remember them in
fact,
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:27
			and then Allah subhana wa tada will ask him a simple question.
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:33
			Allah subhana wa tada will say, but for me,
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:49
			what did you do with this strengthen with this ability that we blessed you with? And this man will
respond Oh Allah, I exerted this strength, sacrificing and fighting and struggling for your sake.
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			And Allahu subhanahu wa tada
		
00:05:53 --> 00:06:03
			Who is the most wise and do nothing. Absolutely nothing escapes the knowledge and awareness of Allah
subhana wa tada Allah on that day will say to this man, because
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			you are in fact telling a lie.
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:17
			And the angels Upon hearing this will testify. And the mother aka Jose, kidnapped, in fact, you are
telling a lie.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:25
			It is relatively doable or easy in this dunya to get away with a lie.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:48
			Sometimes some people don't get away with it, but some people seem to get away with it. But in the
Sahara, all records will be brought forth. There is no lying on the Day of Judgment. And then Allahu
Subhana Allah will in fact expose this person's true intention. And Allah subhana wa tada will say,
what are
		
00:06:50 --> 00:07:02
			the new call? Who are Jerry? In fact, the reason you did all of what you did was so that it would be
said about you how brave this man is.
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:21
			How brave and courageous and strong this person is. That's really what was driving you. That was
your motivational force. That was your internal energy that pushed you to continue struggling and
working hard.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:28
			And then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that this individual will be dragged on their
face to the hellfire.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:42
			But that's not the only one. There are two others. The second, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said to the companion, Abu hurayrah, another person who will be brought
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			is the one who recited the Quran.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:50
			And Allah subhana wa tada will ask this person.
		
00:07:52 --> 00:08:12
			Why did you recite the Quran and this person will say, to recite your words and to teach it. And
this is someone who might have put a lot of time and energy to learn the book of Allah to perfect
the citation, perhaps even to teach others and tutor and train others to recite properly.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:42
			And yet again, Allahu subhana wa tada will set the record straight, and will say conduct, in fact,
you are telling a lie, and the angels will testify. In fact, you are telling a lie. Rather you
recited the book of a law you learn to you put an effort you might have even taught others, so that
it would be said about you who what an excellent reciter of the book of Allah that person is. And
such was said,
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:55
			but your driving force, your motivation, your internal energy, was not seeking the pleasure of
Allah, but rather it was seeking the praise of those who heard you.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:09:20
			And that's not the only one there is a third person as well. And that third person will be someone
who spent a lot of their wealth, a lot of their resources more than 50 and they will be brought
forward. And Allah subhana wa tada will remind this individual of his blessings upon him and they
will recognize these blessings of wealth and of resources.
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:40
			And Allah will ask this person what did you do with this wealth? And this person will say, oh,
Allah, I didn't find any project any need for your sake that needed funding, except that I went
forward and funded and gave
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:59
			and a lot again, we'll set the record straight and say cuz you are lying, and the angels will
testify. You are lying. You did that so that it would be said about you how generous how giving How
can
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:11
			Such a person is for each of these people. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, they will
be amongst the first people to be taken to the hellfire.
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:22
			And they will have their punishment. What exactly are they being punished for? From our perspective,
they seem to have done very great praiseworthy lofty actions.
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:35
			But in fact, what they are punished for is that they did external acts of worship, but internally,
there was no sincerity.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:43
			The term that the scholars use for that and the term that Allah Subhana Allah and His Messenger used
for that is Laos.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:56
			And literally this word in the Arabic language if Laos refers to when something is purified when
something is removed of all impurities, hardness
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:03
			it's that specific element without any other impurities.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:19
			And this is in fact something that Allahu subhana wa tada in the Quran, set as a basic foundation,
and as a basic prerequisite, and as a necessary condition for the acceptance of all good deeds.
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23
			No matter how small, no matter how big,
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:27
			no matter how public, no matter how private.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:36
			Allah subhanaw taala said in Soto Filipina woman Uhuru in Budo, la Mahalia Selena Allahu
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:50
			Allah says they were not commanded except to express servitude to Allah to fulfill the obligations
of Allah subhana wa tada Mahalia slean, with complete sincerity.
		
00:11:51 --> 00:12:00
			And the scholars have given so many definitions to try to understand this basic yet profound concept
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:03
			of what was said.
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			Very simply,
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			to free will be the law.
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:20
			One of the most simplest and abridged definitions. One of the scholars said it is to empty your
heart of anything except Allah.
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:35
			That means to seek the reward for what you are doing from Allah subhanho data exclusively alone. Why
is this important? First of all, it's important because it is necessary for the acceptance of our
deeds
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:46
			for the acceptance of our deeds, Allah subhana wa tada in the Quran described people that come on
the Day of Judgment with a lot of actions, but a lot of described as habit and menthol
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:53
			or Kadima, Illa me, Lumina emmalin for Johanna Hubba amadora.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:13:09
			individuals will come on the Day of Judgment, thinking they have amassed a big record of a lot of
deeds. But in fact, they will see that it doesn't have much weight. It's like particles blowing and
being swept away in the air.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:22
			What matters with the loss of panel data is not the magnanimity of the deed. But what gives deeds
weights and what anchors them in the records with a law is in fact sincerity.
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:36
			Another reason why this is extremely crucial and important is because as time goes on our culture
and our society becomes more and more connected.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:47
			And some see a lot of benefits to that. And sure they can be a lot of benefits to that. One of the
problems that arises is that we are constantly exposed.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:55
			Everything that happens to us is known. As a matter of fact, culture nowadays encourages us to share
everything.
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:25
			share everything that you do under the premise of encouraging others and motivating others and
building a sense of community and empowerment. And all that is fine and dandy. But the problem is
when everything that we do becomes public, there is no way to prevent that from permeating in our
heart of hearts. And it becomes even more difficult to exercise sincerity.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:35
			Because subconsciously we start thinking, how will I get exposure for this? How will this deed or
this action motivate others
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:44
			the scholars likened this to a candle they said a candle gives light to those around, but in fact it
is burning and reducing itself.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:54
			And speaking of candles and light when we look to the experiences of the early pious predecessors,
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:59
			great, accomplished people in this oma
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:19
			We see that they always sought to have privacy and secrecy for their good deeds as much as possible.
If any one of them needed to share something for the benefit of teaching or illustrating to others,
then definitely they would have more than that. That was done in private.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:16:01
			It is said that a great scholar by the name of Abdullah Abdullah Mubarak, who is known in the books
of Hadith, and in the narrations, from the early generations that he was traveling with a group of
people. And they had camped in a place so they set their lantern on, you know, some oils something
to burn. And after a short period of time, that source of light blew out, ran out of fuel. And so
they came together to get some more fuel, get some more oil, prepare the lantern, turn it back on,
they're sitting camping out in the wild, there's darkness. By the time they were able to turn it
back on their companion, who was this great scholar of delivering robotic, they found and they
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:06
			described that his facial hair was moist and damp from tears.
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:15
			They didn't even hear any crying, but he was suppressing it and crying so much. So they asked him,
What is making you cry?
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:25
			And he said, when that light went away, the first thing that came to my imagination was how will the
darkness of the grave be?
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:44
			That's a powerful reminder of how people that are God conscious are always thinking about a lawn
returning back to Allah. But what amazes me about it is, and this is a very, very simple
observation. You tell the story to a young child, a four year old, the first thing you'll ask is,
how come they didn't hear him crying?
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:51
			Because there was an effort to protect and keep a secret with Allah.
		
00:16:53 --> 00:17:16
			One of the early scholars said have never been led to study was asked about his night prayer. They
asked him they said, How do you do your night prayer? Can you tell us about your experiences with
the young lady? What a nice question. They were surprised to see that this scholar turned to them
with an angry expression. For holy bury him, he got upset with them.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:35
			Why? He said to them, if I have one locker that I did, that only Allah knows about it, and it was
done sincerely for him. That is more beloved to me than if I pray every single night All night, and
I tell it to all of you and expose it.
		
00:17:37 --> 00:18:16
			We are taught by our great predecessors, to always be keen to have a secret with Allah subhanahu wa
tada May Allah subhana wa tada inspire us, to be diligent in our worship and obedience of him. Not
only when there are those looking or listening or watching, but especially when only Allah Subhana
Allah is watching Allah in Allah Zika or Shaka wash nearly magic. We ask you a lot to help us to
remember you and to be grateful to you and to be excellence in our worship. Have you already had our
stuff? It'll already welcome reciting Muslim minimalism investor fuel in the Hall of Fame.

			wa salatu salam ala Adam and Lana via badda Allahumma salli wa sallim wa barik ala Sayidina Habibi,
now Mohammed were early he was so happy he was seldom at the Sleeman kathira. As the month of
Ramadan approaches us. Many people asked speak about preparing for Ramadan. Tell us how we can get
ready for Ramadan. And I think there have been lots of reminders about this as is good and
necessary.
		
00:18:52 --> 00:19:38
			But we begin at the beginning, the best way to prepare for the month of Ramadan and for every other
month and for every deed that we do in our life, in this upcoming blessed month and beyond, is to
exercise sincerity. To remind ourselves always, why are we doing these deeds? And the answer should
be to seek reward from Allah subhanho wa Taala alone. If that is not our answer, then we need to do
the elbow to nuforce we need to do some workout on our soul. And make sure that we are not only
obeying and worshiping Allah subhana wa tada when we are in congregation or in public or when others
are watching, or when we can share and talk about it with others. But as much as we are sharing as
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:59
			much is known about us. There shouldn't be more that only Allahu Subhana who knows of acts of
goodness and of good deeds. The best way to prepare for the month of Ramadan is to welcome it and to
begin and to approach it and to get ready for it with complete sincerity. We ask Allah subhana wa
tada to make us of those who fast and pray and recite the whole
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:43
			And give charity Harleys on Liberty Hill Kareem seeking reward from Allah subhanho wa Taala
exclusively alone on the topic of Ramadan, there has been a beautiful project and initiative that
was brought forth from the outreach committee of this Masjid May Allah bless them and increase them
in goodness. And that is to facilitate for you a way to share the month of Ramadan and to teach
others about it and making that very easy for you. Many of us may have a difficult time starting a
conversation with our neighbors with our co workers with our friends or classmates. And that is why
the datawalk Committee here in this Masjid has come up with a beautiful gesture to help you do that
		
00:20:43 --> 00:21:27

Milan gift boxes. In this box is a small snack to For your gift receiver to enjoy. And there's also
some information about the month of Ramadan about the religion of Islam. We always hear that sharing
about our religion is important and is mandatory upon us. But many of us get very lazy or many of us
get very shy. Here is a way to facilitate that and to make it easy for you and they are being sold
