Iqbal.
Usually, at this time, Sheikh Fadha, he has
a small
no.
He has a small,
but, unfortunately, today, he's not able to make
it. So I will share a small hadith
of the prophet
narrated by the Abu Hurair of the, he
said that the prophet
said,
that
a Muslim person
who frequents the masjid, who comes to masjid
often.
And this is a part of their habit.
This is part of their routine.
To understand this, imagine when
your kids were little,
when your kids were small,
3, 4 years old,
and you are gone for work for maybe
a couple of days,
a week or so.
And you came home,
and one of your kids saw you, and
they got so happy that they came they
came running to you, and they grabbed your
leg, and they said,
and they hug you tight. And they said,
I miss you so much. I miss you
so much. For those of you that in,
when you go home,
your kids will embrace you. Your family will
embrace you in that similar manner.
So the prophet has been in this, he
says,
that the way that your family gets happy
when you return home after a extended period
extended period,
after a week or so, after a week
or so.
Similarly, when a Muslim frequents the masjid and
comes to the masjid often.
Allah
gets happy upon his arrival into the masjid
the way that your family
the way that your family gets happy when
you come home after a long trip. It's
very
beautiful, Hadith.
It's very beautiful. Because this Hadith told us
that when you every time that you
come into the house of Allah,
Allah,
he presents his hospitality to you.
He opens his doors out to you. When
you come home
after a trip,
it's not just your child that hugs you,
but your maybe your wife makes you something
special for food.
Maybe your child makes you a little card.
They all greet you with different things.
And similarly,
whenever you come into the house of Allah
Subhanahu, Allah Subhanahu,
he greets you
with his mercy.
He greets you with his forgiveness.
He greets you because Allah Subhanahu, he is
the one who appreciates
whatever little that you do.
Now some scholars say that this returning to
the masjid
is every time you come back to the
Masjid.
Other scholars say this is actually
like the example that the prophet, sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam, uses that maybe
because of some work, maybe because of some
family situation, maybe because of college, maybe because
of whatever life
has thrown at you, you haven't been able
to come to the for some time.
You were frequent,
but then there was a pause.
Something happened, and you just got busy.
But now you come back to the masjid,
and the scholars say the the the the
that
upon you returning back after a few days,
Allah
gets happy.
Usually, when relationships
when you
when there's a gap in a relationship, there's
this period of being awkward.
Now if I go back, it can be
awkward that I wasn't here.
And many times we have this feeling that
if I come to the now,
you know, maybe I missed something, maybe I
missed this relationship with Allah
How am I supposed to continue and regain
that momentum that I had before? But what
you realize is the way that your mother
greets you when you return back home.
The way that your spouse greets you return
back home. The way that your child greets
you with pure happiness that I'm just happy
that you're here.
It's
like it's like when your child gets into
a car accident,
and they come home
after toweling the car.
And they're worried that you might be upset
that where were you? Why were you so
late?
But you just say to them, Britta, I'm
happy that you've made it home.
And every time you come home
to the house of Allah
Allah
greets you in the same way by saying,
welcome home.
So I want to share this hadith of
the prophet. So once again, I'll repeat the
hadith.
On the on the authority
of that no Muslim attends the masjid regularly
for salah
and for remembrance. And for remembrance.
So this tells you so the question comes,
what is the purpose of the masjid?
Many people say the purpose of the masjid
is for salah.
But what you see is that the purpose
of the masjid is a lot more, not
just salah. Because even in this hadith, the
prophet
says, for salah or for the remembrance of
Allah,
you come and do your. You come and
just connect your heart to Allah, But the
in my opinion,
one of the most important
roles of the masjid is
the community aspect.
You can praise the law wherever you want.
You can remember Allah wherever you want. But
the biggest role of the masjid
is we meet one another.
I ask you, how was your day? How
are things at work? How are things at
home?
I come to you with a problem. Do
you know what? I'm having an issue. Can
you help me out?
The community aspect. So here what salah says,
either you when you come for salah regularly
in the remembrance of Allah because it has
all these extra benefits as well, except that
Allah subhanahu expresses
joy just like the family of an absent
person expresses joy when he returns back from
there
being absent.
So a very beautiful hadith of the prophet
And this tells us that, okay, we've connected
ourself in the month of Ramadan.
Let this connection
continue.
Because at the end of the day, we
benefit
from this from this connection.
