what could be the item dolla will collaborate Latin for now? From
bad.
We praise Allah subhanho wa taala. And we send our Peace and
blessings to our noble and beloved Prophet Muhammad Ali salatu salam.
And I remind myself in yourselves on this blessed day of Yama
Jumeirah to fear Allah, to fear Allah the way he should be feared.
And to try and to strive to the best of our ability to live in the
state of submission to Allah, so that we may die in the state of
submission to Allah. As Allah reminds us of this in the Quran
when he says, Yeah, you have ladina taka Allahu Akbar Ducati,
Walter moeten.
To Muslim on.
Oh, you will believe fear Allah the way he should be feared and do
not die except in a state of complete submission to Him. We ask
Allah to die in the state. We ask Allah to be resurrected in the
state. And we ask Allah to make our final words in this dunya La
ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasool Allah, Brothers and Sisters in
Islam
there is a story of a man
A man who Allah subhanho wa Taala tested with a sin.
This man
was a sinner. But this sin was no ordinary sin.
As the sin was something that this man did
on a daily basis,
very rarely did this person find anyone who is as consistent with
this sin as him.
He felt bad
because he knew that what he was doing was wrong. And he would
often pass by Ayrton the Quran
that show him that
or tell him clearly that he shouldn't be doing what he's
doing.
He also read a few a hadith, authentic sayings from the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
that forbade him clearly from that sin.
But he was persistent.
His family had a wife and children.
He would leave early in the morning and try to spend all day
at work. Or so he says
he would leave often times before Fajr, sometimes a little after
fajr.
And he would come back home late at night,
round Asia time.
And his devout wife would leave dinner prepared for him and go to
sleep with her children.
This man
whenever he was asked, What does he do all day, he got all nervous.
He didn't want to tell his family
what he's doing or where he was, he would just simply brush it off
and say, I was at work.
I'm very busy, mopped a lot. It was only a matter of time though.
Before this family started to notice
some difference in the way he act.
He was a lot more quiet.
less necessary. He wouldn't speak too much.
He started to lose a lot of weight.
He would often become pale look pale and yellow.
This man
when asked about his health, he would say Alhamdulillah I'm good.
When asked did you pray Alhamdulillah.
Sometimes he would pray at night. Stay up berkelium as well, after a
whole day of work in hopes that a few records at night would expiate
his sins in the day.
He didn't know.
Nobody knew what he was doing. But Allah subhana wa Ireland himself.
Nobody can figure this person out.
When they see him, they see an upright, righteous man.
When he meets with his friends and his family, you can swear he's one
of the most righteous but he knew
that he was consistent with the sin.
What was the sin? Brothers and sisters?
What was the sin that was holding this man down? What was the sin
that caused his body to change that caused the way he acts to
change that made it noticeable to every one of his family members.
The sin that he knew was wrong. Deep down inside
the sin brothers and sisters
was fasting every single day of the year.
The sin was fasting and not breaking the fast.
Many of us now had so many thoughts rushing through our heads
as to what the sin can possibly be.
But today we want to reorient and switch the paradigm so that we
know what sin truly is. The ayat that this man read was one Atacama
rasuluh woman, a hacker man who Fanta who was the Rasul brought to
you then take it and what he forbade you from men forbid
yourself from it and abstain from it.
He would read the Hadith, where the prophets I send them forbade
us from fasting every single day.
He would read the Hadith, where the prophets I seldom said halacha
motto not their own, may the extreme must be destroyed. And he
knew he was taking it to the extreme.
He read the Hadith where the man who fasts every day came to the
prophets I send them said, I fast and never break it. And then also
say Salem told him, I fast and I break my fast and Wallahi You're
not better than me.
Leave yourself with whatever I do, and that should suffice you that's
what the Russell's I said, I'm told this man, he passed by these
Hadith, but he insisted on the sin of fasting consistently.
Brothers and sisters.
Many of us are surprised as to how fasting can be considered a sin.
Especially after Ramadan.
Everyone was expecting a hot bow encouraging us to fast but I
wanted to talk about something else.
I wanted to speak about how we need to redefine what sin is.
Because sometimes, we put sin in particular constructs.
And we they they have certain looks or images in our head, or
thoughts and we neglect others.
It is a sin to disobey
or disregard the commands of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, and the guidance of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, even if it was an act of worship in and of itself, like
fasting.
Brothers and sisters.
Sometimes, a sinner can be admired for a sin that they're doing. You
bump into a brother, brother, perhaps this man you see molested
Okay, come Come eat in our life cycle Nagasaka walk away Oh, you
must be fasting next day. Oh, you must be fasting
when that is a sin.
But what is the point? The point is
to define what sin is properly in our minds, so that we know
that it is sinful even to be extreme with acts of worship that
are prescribed.
Three men came to the Rasul SallAllahu wasallam.
And one man said, I never get married. Yes, Allah because
wives are a distraction.
They could be sometimes. But that's not the correct Headey
as Allah said this in the Quran in the winner's words, Allah, Allah
calm for Andrew, right from your families in your children is a
distraction for you, or an enemy for you. So be aware of them.
Right? So it couldn't be possible. But he said, I'm going to abstain
from marriage. The other said I do not sleep y'all rasool Allah, I do
play on all night. Alhamdulillah I have the energy for it. Allah gave
it to me. And the third man said I fast every day and I never break
it out. Because I can I can do it. So one of edger Allah Allah wants,
Allah promised the Bab of Rayyan to the one who fasts every day.
Why not? What did the Russell's I sell him say? He said, As for me,
should I get married to him?
I pray and I sleep.
And I fast and I believe my first
30 Felisa money and whoever ignores my sooner than is not from
me. This person who does pm every day, can be a person who's not
from Rasul Allah. This person who fasts every day, can be a person
who's not from Rasul Allah, this person who never gets married,
just to be developed and to worship Allah because that's a
distraction and they want to be closer to Allah. Introducing this
type of monkhood into Islam that doesn't exist. So it is not from
Rasul Allah.
And then the contrary, and on the opposite side, brothers and
sisters, we find the story of
Musa and the other in the Quran.
A very unique story. That is the opposite of this story.
When Musa alayhis salam was asked by Bani Israel by his people who
is the most knowledgeable Oh Musa, who is the most knowledgeable
person in this world.
Musa alayhis salam
has to be me.
Why would he not say him? He's the only messenger who spoke to Allah.
He's the only one who received tablets of revelation from Allah.
He's the
Only Prophet and Messenger, he's only messenger of Allah at that
time.
Right? And Allah says, why would he say not him? He said me. And
then Allah revealed to him that you are not the most
knowledgeable. There's a man who has more knowledge than you, oh
Musa. He carried himself. And he said, fill an Abra Hello, you
know, he said, I'm not going to leave this earth without meeting
this person, I'm going to go. And this is the zeal of a seeker of
knowledge. He found out of someone who has more knowledge and he
said, I'm going to go and search for this person. And that's
exactly what he did.
He went with his companion new shot then known
as A salaam. And he found Well, there was an upon meeting 100 It
was narrated in one of the narrations that were authenticated
that when he first met and
he asked him, he told them, You are a lover, and he said, and you
are Musa. He said, I am Musa. He said Musa of Bani Israel is Araya
Musa Bani Israel.
He said, I want to learn from you. He's like, he said, Will you be
patient with me?
He said, Of course. He said, How can you be patient when I have
knowledge that Allah gave me that he did not give you and you have
knowledge that Allah gave you and did not give me? How can we be
patient with each other.
He said, I'll be your companion and Insha Allah, you'll find me
patient.
And Musa alayhis salam was patient and God knows what happened until
they wrote into a ship. And then he purposely went to the bottom of
the ship, and pierced a hole into the bottom of the ship, and almost
risked all of its crew.
In the ship sinking, it sank and they almost all died. They had to
ship swim to shore.
And Musa alayhis salaam lost his patience, he said, are you causing
corruption on earth? For indeed, in the Sharia of Musa alayhis
salam, the one who causes corruption, gets punished for it.
But to what Allah taught that this was the right thing to do.
Musa was impatient. He said, are you causing corruptions? I told
you,
I told you, you're not going to be patient.
They continued, he's like, look, I forgot. Forgive me, but inshallah
we'll be patient. They continued until they met a child, a young,
innocent child.
And her mother came with something even more intense, and something
even even bigger in the eyes of Musa and in the Sharia of Musa and
the knowledge that Musa alayhis salam revealed was received from
Allah, he killed an innocent child, who was under the age of
puberty, no way this person was sinful below the age of puberty,
killed him. Now you imagine someone who Allah referred you to
who is more knowledgeable than you, and you're learning and then
he kills an innocent child in front of you. What would the most
How could Musa alayhis salam Be patient?
He said, Did you kill him? An innocent soul without him doing
anything? Why you came with something in Accra? Something
really completely rejected? How can you do such an awful thing? He
said, Didn't I tell you you will not be patient or Musa. He's like,
Oh, I didn't realize this is a test. Maybe Mussolini's some
thought the test was for him to respond to her. And to reject him.
Maybe he didn't know that his test was to be patient.
Then they continued until they saw
a wall that was about to be demolished. And then they worked
perhaps all day or days to build it. What are we doing here wasting
our time Musa Hassan learned his lesson. He said, Well, I'm gonna
keep building this wall and I'm gonna stay quiet. He didn't say a
single thing. And subhanAllah
every single thing that Musa alayhis salam saw was the correct
thing that Allah taught her to do.
But how was it perceived not only by people, but by Musa, the
Messenger of Allah.
It was perceived as the worst thing. Imran lucra look at the
words he used. It was perceived as the worst thing.
But it was good.
And on the contrary, this man, it was perceived as the best thing in
the story that I said in the beginning, but it was bad.
So brothers and sisters, the moral of all of this
two things that I want to extract in Shaolin and my first thought
about the first
First is to not be extreme in the deen
not to be extreme and to hold off a little bit before we judge
something to be great or something to be awful because a lot of times
our reactions are exaggerated.
So the first
is to be to not to not judge and to be patient with what we see and
not to be judgmental.
And the second inshallah I'll save for the second thought about a
Paloma some atom was Stafford. Hola Hola. Hola, como esta?
El hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen
wa salatu salam ala Ashraful MBR even more saline. See dinner,
Muhammad Asad Aquila. I mean, while he was actually he Jemaine
brothers and sisters
Allah subhanho wa taala.
prescribed for us a perfect Deen
complete from every angle.
If you're extreme with it,
destruction,
they're relaxed with it. Destruction.
Every single one of us should find the optimal level of today human
acts of worship that balance our life
that keep us close to Allah that keep our families in check. And
the second point here is to follow the Sunnah of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
follow the Messenger of Allah subhanho wa Taala in his
teachings.
And when something happens,
that we don't find patience for in ourselves, then we should be
confident that so long as this happened to us, or happened around
us, and we are upon a man, we are upon Islam. And now the first
thing we said was the Hello La Quwata illa biLlah. In early
learning, we may li Raja Hoon has to be along with me, I'm going to
walk in Subhanallah Alhamdulillah whatever we say, if it's the first
thing we say, we go back to Allah, then whatever happened to us,
happened to us by the wisdom of Allah. And we have to know, we
have to learn from the story of Musa alayhis salam, that whatever
happened is for our own good.
And this is why at the end of the story, Musa alayhis salam
was patient and didn't say anything until other told him as
for the ship, I put a hole in it because pirates would have killed
all of them. So losing their ship was much less severe than losing
their lives, by the, you know, with the pirates, and as for the
child, he was a corrupt child, he would have gave their their His
righteous parents, his mom and dad pains their whole entire life,
they would have dreaded this person. So from the Mercy of Allah
this child died to read the parents of them. So Allah can
bless them with a righteous child that obeys them and that takes
care of them and that is obedient to them. And as for the wall that
you thought we built for nothing, Allah sent a prophet and the
messenger
um, so that as well, to, to orphan kids, to build a wall for them
because it had a treasure under them under the wall, it shows you
that the orphans are protected by Allah subhanaw taala even if it
takes
a messenger and the Prophet and according some narrations have
said there was a prophet according to some he wasn't.
But Allah says these two most knowledgeable men on earth
together they have the most knowledge to serve to orphans,
who, whose parents passed away just to protect the treasure from
people.
So let us know that everything is in the hands of Allah.
Sometimes we leave and we don't know who's gonna take care of my
children if something happens to me, Allah is there.
What's gonna happen? Why did I lose this because Allah decreed
for trust in him.
Why did I get a flat tire on the day of my interview?
was your job would have sucked? Why was my application to school
rejected? Because you would have hated that degree and dreaded
every day you would have went to that school?
Why did this person leave me? We were good friends and he just
blanked me stopped calling me moved away something because this
person would have loved lead you to destruction. Maybe that person
is good but together maybe together you would have been up to
bad things. Maybe you separated is better for both of you.
We don't know what the decree of Allah is. But we know one thing
that there's one litmus test and that is that
if we are upon Amen when anything happens to us, then whatever's
happening to us is good. And it's from Allah's wisdom
about the law. Any doubt and feminine. Allah for Lana dubara
