Akula Bala Latin for now, will now call our Kapha how you don't mean
my catheter our L her? We're in number two I do another 18 woman
to be more busy and
we start by praising Allah subhanho wa Taala and sending our
Peace and blessings to our Prophet Muhammad Allah His salatu salam.
And I remind myself and yourselves on this blessed day of Yama Juma
to fear Allah subhanho wa Taala to fear Allah subhanho wa Taala as
Allah reminds us to fear him in many areas in the Quran, and
didn't one Allah subhanho wa Taala says, After all the villa
administrates on rajim Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim
yah yah Latina, Taka la haka taco ka t.
Illa. And to Muslim moon.
Fear Allah subhanho wa taala.
Fear Allah subhanho wa taala. The way you should be feared, do not
die except in the state of submission to Him. But we cannot
die in the state unless we live in the state. And we cannot live in
the state of submission to Him unless we consciously make an
effort to submit to Him on the daily on a daily basis.
Brothers and sisters
it's the beginning of the academic year.
A lot of businesses right now start to go into
auto drive auto pay
I'll add some businesses are working are going better as well,
because the schools are back into place and everything is kind of
getting
getting into, you know, the normal routine,
outside of the summer vacation.
And with this, as we are all back from our vacations and our breaks,
and we're back in the schools, and we're doing our jobs and
everything.
It is important for every Muslim to remember their mission in this
world.
And our mission in this world is none other than what makes us the
best nation that humanity has ever seen.
As Muslims.
It is something that
some can boast about when it's not something we should be boasting
about.
But Allah subhanho wa Taala said in the Quran, Kuntum hire our own
method, or reject leanness, you were the best nation that humanity
has ever seen, and mess.
Okay.
But this, to any Muslim should not mean that they automatically walk
around with a chip on their shoulder thinking and feeling like
they are the best, but it should translate into action.
It should manifest itself on the limbs, and the hearts and the
mindsets of every single Muslim so that they live up to what Allah
subhanho wa Taala described them as.
Because Allah subhanaw taala did not describe us as the best nation
alone. But he told us what makes us the best of nations. So this
idea or this statement in the IEA was followed with Morona Bill
Maher roofie, what and how 911 curry? What took me noona Billa.
There is no doubt that belief in Allah is the most important thing
for a Muslim, as without believing in Allah, there is no way we can
enter into Jannah.
And belief in Allah is the foundation of any act of worship
that we do.
But Allah subhanaw taala did not describe this nation as the best
and then follow it with believing in Allah.
Because Allah subhanho wa Taala wanted to send us a message,
saying Look, before you say I believe in Allah Al Hamdulillah, I
fulfilled the A and because of this, we are the best of almost
no, no, no before belief in Allah Allah mentioned, you call to that
which is good.
And you forbid that which is evil when you see it, and then what
believe in Allah. It comes in one package
in order for us to live up to what Allah subhanaw taala described us
as we must,
first apply this in our lives.
And this is a reminder for all of us today, brothers and sisters. As
we go back to our classes, we both go back to our jobs and our
schools. And we're mixing with our colleagues and our classmates and
so on so forth.
We need to know how to be the best nation that humanity has ever
seen.
Allah subhanho wa Taala
gave us a huge responsibility as the final OMA
following the final messenger sent to humanity.
And that is that Allah made us the representation of his message
until the day of judgment.
If we fail in doing so, it doesn't harm anyone. It doesn't harm Allah
at all Subhanallah to island, but it only harms us.
It is as if Allah guided us
and we failed to serve Him the way He wanted us to serve Him.
Imagine someone being employed
and chosen for their credentials and qualifications and potential.
And then after letting you down multiple times, letting making
that decision to
call us let them go.
Sometimes
it could be
unjustly when it comes to the creation dealing with each other.
But when it comes to the Creator, Allah subhanaw taala said, well in
teta, well, Lo, yesterday will come and hire a con for malaria.
Kuno I'm sorry, Nico.
And look at the elaborate meaning of this verse brothers and
sisters, he said, and if you turn your backs meaning on the path of
Allah, on the responsibility endowed to you by Allah, then he
will replace you with the people that are better than you.
And guess what? Allah said, and they will not be like you
two things in this verse that are very scary.
If you read into them.
The first is that the only characteristic Allah gave the
people he's going to replace us with if we don't fulfill our
responsibility, is that familiar? Hakuna telecom. They won't be like
us, as if that's enough of a compliment of them.
You ever seen something so bad? That when something else comes
like at least it's better than this? Right? That's when you know,
that thing is not so good. When anything is better than it right?
Allah saying the people he will replace us with if we don't
fulfill our responsibility towards Islam, and towards that our
that they won't be like us. And the second thing that's scary
about this verse is that Allah did not even say what he is going to
do with the people he replaced.
You think about it?
Are they going to get lost?
Is it going to be chaos? It's going to be fitna Will they kill
each other
trials and tribulations? What would they be inflicted with? It's
up to you imagine, when Allah forsakes you, you're Allah.
And that's why Allah subhanaw taala said, Yeah, your nurse and
tomorrow will Allah, Allah Who Who will hernial Hamid, in Yasha is
epcam wire to the Hultin Jadine. One medallic Allah, Allah, Hebei,
ICS
all people, Allah's calling us oh people and all of humanity right?
And Tummel fuqra It is you who are in need of Allah.
And Allah is the one that does not need you.
If he wants, he would replace you
and bring other people other than you and that is not big for Allah
subhanho wa Taala Well, Allah is not big. And when Allah He has one
once we sit and reflect and contemplate on how fragile we are
to Allah subhana wa Taala how simple we are.
How easy he made it for us to go to Jana.
To say, Allah Muhammad Rasul Allah, to do good to the best of
our ability to call to that good that we believe in, that we all
know and commonly see as good
and forbid evil when we see it and say, Oh, by the way, give no say
hi. Give sincere advice. When we see it needed. Wallahi that's,
that's Jana. But when we can't even fulfill that
Wallahi you see, well, either there are whole countries right
now
that we're majority Muslim countries at a certain point
and right now you look at them
and they're not majority of Muslims.
What happened?
Where did it go?
There was a lot of you know, fitted trials, tribulations
killing and so on so forth. Ryan Xiling Subhanallah of muslimin.
But
wherever we're sitting,
is an Amana from Allah is a trust. He gave you your status. He gave
you your mind your intellect. He gave you the life experience that
you need to do what you're doing on a day to day basis.
But what are you doing to pay your tax for it to Allah subhanaw taala
your account for it to Allah subhanaw taala How are you being
thankful with what Allah gave you?
If you do not call those around you to that which is good, and
forbid them from evil. Brothers and sisters.
I wanted to give this brief hotbar and a brief message
I'm not going to go into too many
stories and an other branch out to other topics. This one topic by
itself, the responsibility that Allah gave us is enough to reflect
on for the next week.
And to think of one question is what I want from you?
One question
Mother Kadem, tele denilla
What is it that you offer to the deen of Allah? subhanaw taala?
Was what is it that you gave up for the deen of Allah?
What is it that you offered his religion and his Deen? And what
did you offer Islam with everything he gave you? Your
wealth, your health, your intellect, your status, everything
he gave you. What did you give a lot back from it? If the answer is
I can't think of anything then you're in trouble. Like
we're all anyone who answers
we don't know. I don't know. I just I come to Jamal.
That's trouble.
That's not good.
Allah subhanaw taala
is waiting for you to make Toba to go back and fulfill your duty and
responsibility towards his creation. Be a Muslim, stand for
the call to that which is good. If you see evil, Forbid others from
from it, if you can advise them against it if you can, and then
believe in Allah subhanaw taala and expect the reward of
everything you go through by Allah subhanaw taala We ask Allah
Subhana Allah Allah to bless us within through the Quran, we ask
Allah subhana wa Taala to bless us with knowing a halal haram and
following that which is halal and doing it and preventing us from
falling into that which is haram according Masseria to stuff that
Allah Allah welcome, first of all in our world.
Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala Ashraf al
Anbiya even more saline say Dr. Muhammad Asad the Coloradan Amin
while he was on the edge million
So
brothers and sisters you know after mentioning our
responsibility in our role towards the creation of Allah subhanaw
taala
when Allah calls us the best OMA
we should be an OMA that leaves a difference in any place that they
go to
any society, any community, any city, any country should see the
positive impacts of the presence of the Muslim in
and this is how the deen of Allah subhanaw taala spread and perhaps
when we say Dawa, it does not mean you go to your neighbor and invite
them to Islam straight straight up. It doesn't mean that you go to
your colleague and co worker and open philosophical debates and
discussions about the dead No, no.
It's about embodying the message of Islam and the message and what
Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam told us to do. Like he said, You will not
believe until you love for other people what you love for yourself.
embodying that
a Muslim should be the first car to stop for a car that stalled on
the street.
A Muslim should be the first one to help an elder cross the street.
A Muslim should be the first one to ask their neighbor if they need
a hand moving when they see them moving heavy luggage or furniture
into their house. A Muslim should be the first one who asks about
their sick colleague or classmate or teacher. A Muslim should be the
first one
who is known for all of these positive things.
And Muslims present a Muslims presence in where wherever they
are. Amen My Hello, wherever they are, their image should spread
and people should see and feel their presence and positivity.
This
says what Islam is.
Islam is not when they see you
talking in an ignorant way or eating inappropriate way, and
conducting yourself in public in an inappropriate way, and then
when it comes to the deen of Allah, you're talking mashallah, I
got the proofs and evidences and it's not about that.
It's not about that. Because even Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam who had the most proofs and evidences had the soundest
intellect in the whole Ummah, the Prophet SAW Selim had the most
concise wording in the whole Ummah, there's no one that can put
a phrase together like Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Allah
said to him, Well, couldn't have been Holly valcambi lanpher
bloomin Holic if you are rough, and your heart was, was hard.
And the way you conducted yourself with the people, you were just
very pushy and rough.
The people would have left you it's not about this proof and
evidence. It's not about for all those brothers and sisters that
are watching those debates, some speakers corner and these debates
between this person and that person. And you think it's about
that's not what that was about.
That's not what that was about.
Dawa.
And the height on the best OMA is about being a person
that someone comes to you and says, Ben, what made you this way?
And you tell them Allah made me this way.
I was like you one day.
I didn't know. But Allah guided me. And because of that
Alhamdulillah became the way you should try it out and tread the
path of Allah subhanho wa taala.
And that is what compels people to the path of Allah.
Speaking about the path,
speaking about the path
is nothing
like seeing someone walk it.
Speaking about the path
is nothing like seeing someone walk the path. So we have to walk
the path. And we have to be that positivity, in our families in our
communities, Inshallah, to Allah. And we ask Allah subhanaw taala
for this Baraka will Allah here one, wala one, if we don't embody
Islam,
where are we going to go find that?
Find another.
I feel so proud.
When epic Masjid
when the governor, the mayor, whoever, you know, comes out when
pet local pastors from other religious organizations, they say,
Man You guys are so in doing so much good. We see the humanitarian
work that you're doing. We see the street cleanups, we see this, we
see that, you know, the previous initiatives that we do, it makes
us feel like Muslims when they're talking like that, like, Yeah,
this is what Islam is about. This is what they're supposed to see us
doing. This is what they're supposed to say about us.
When a pastor comes to me, and we'll have one of the biggest
churches in Plano, he's like, Hey Murad.
How do you deal with this particular issue with youth? You
know, I want to help my, I want to help our youth in church as well.
And he's, he confides in me to that point, where he's asking
about his own youth. What does that mean? When someone asks you
for advice? Does that mean they trust you or they don't trust you?
That means they trust you? Or else why would they ask for your
advice? But when they get to that point,
Alhamdulillah bla bla mean? That means we're doing something good.
And for this community, I won the epic community. May Allah subhanaw
taala bless this community and make Islam flourish and make us a
reason for its flourish meant, I mean, Allah mean,
we need to embody this. Everywhere we work, whoever we interact with,
keep your smiles that's sadaqa and our That's admirable. Mooroopna
and Moncure. Picking up trash from the floor, helping people cross
the street, stopping to help people that need help, you know,
donating to causes and helping, you know, the poor, you see
somebody let's say you have extra food in the house, pack it up and
there's a play if you see a homeless person or someone in
need, you give them something
frequently go to your neighbor buying you're buying a cake
mashallah ALLAH blessed you with all this wealth. Why can't you buy
a cake for your neighbor? Why can't you just knock the door he's
like, Hey, man, you know, I love this chocolate mousse cake. I went
to Costco yesterday. And you know, I just wanted to give you one you
know, because I, I like it and I like what I like for my neighbors
as well.
Why is that so difficult? Well, Laura, it's not difficult, but we
need to live it. And this is how we live up to the responsibility
of being hated OMA, we ask Allah to make us the hate OMA, we ask
Allah to make us the best OMA, we ask Allah subhanaw taala to use us
for His sake, and to make us ambassadors for his Deen. We ask
Allah subhana wa Taala to make us role models for our children, for
our spouses, for our parents, even for our communities. We ask Allah
subhanaw taala to make us beakers of light in the lens that we live
in. We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to show us the straight path and
not miss guide us and to make our last words in this dunya La ilaha
illAllah Muhammad Rasool Allah, and to never make our trial in our
deen but to make it in anything else, but our deen, you're up,
you're up, you're up. We ask you on this blessed day of human Juma
to protect our families, to protect our children, to protect
our parents, and to protect our communities, to protect them from
any hardship, to protect them from sickness to protect them from any
trial and tribulation that can befall them. Oh Allah, make us
patient with what you inflicted us with. And make us trust your
wisdom and knowledge a little bit Isla Mia, and we asked you Yeah,
Allah to make us content and happy and pleased with your cuddle. We
ask you that Allah to make us content and pleased with your
codon in your decree. We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala on this blessed
day of Yamo Jumuah to allow us to see the victory of Islam and
Muslim men and to practice protect our brothers and sisters that are
being killed and that are being that are being persecuted and
exiled for their Deen all over the world. We ask Allah subhanaw taala
to close them. We ask Allah to shelter them, we ask Allah to feed
them, we ask Allah to reward them for their patience. And we ask
Allah to forgive us for everything that we did not do that we could
have done for their sake. We ask Allah Subhana Allah to bless us
about Allah. In Allah. In Allah Amara can be humbling, but it'd be
