Salam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

00:00:11--> 00:00:43

smilla rahmanir rahim al hamdu Lillah wa salatu salam ala rasulillah Allah Allah He was happy here Juma in we praise Allah subhanho wa Taala we send blessings and salutations upon Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, his household his companions May Allah bless them and bless every one of us and grant us genital Pharaohs. My beloved brothers and sisters in this beautiful Masjid embossment. Here the third Tara, we have the month of Ramadan 1440 2019

00:00:45--> 00:01:07

It is indeed a blessed night, but at the same time, for me, it brings about sadness, to be missing one of the scholars in the Imams of this Masjid who happened to serve here for many years. And it would be wrong for me not to commence with a Dr. for him. May Allah grant Imam Malik, forgiveness and genital fetters.

00:01:08--> 00:01:24

He was in our midst, he was a beacon of light, he worked very hard. He did a lot of good work. He may have shortcomings as a human being just like we all do. I'm confident about the forgiveness of Allah, May Allah forgive him and forgive every one of us.

00:01:26--> 00:01:31

But the question I have is we know how he led his life. What about us? How are we leading hours.

00:01:32--> 00:01:59

We know what he did in his life. He was with us and suddenly he fell ill and suddenly in no time he passed away, I happened to speak to him earlier. And I was confident that he would gain Shiva and he did gain Shiva and cure he was cured in the way that Allah wanted. He was cured in a way that his soul departed the body and he went into a life that has no end. That was the cure Allah chose.

00:02:00--> 00:02:20

It may not be the cure within this worldly life that you and I know. When you say Oh Allah grant me cure Allah can take you away, that could be your cure. Subhana Allah. We don't look at it that way. When we say may Allah have mercy on you, the mercy could be that you be taken away before matters become worse for you.

00:02:21--> 00:02:54

When we say May, Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us the best, sometimes the best is that we leave this world. But like I said, the question screams for an answer from every one of us. We knew how he led his life he was here most of the time. And every time we saw his face, he was a person who tried to help you as a person who tried to resolve matters, he was called to the homes to resolve disputes. That's how he led his life. What about us? What have you done? My brothers, my sisters?

00:02:56--> 00:03:07

If you were to suddenly be diagnosed with a terminal sickness and illness, May Allah not do that to us and whomever that has happened to May Allah grant you Shiva, I mean,

00:03:09--> 00:03:10

but if that were to happen,

00:03:12--> 00:03:26

and you were only given a very, very short time, you would realize all my money means nothing, all my power, my looks, my clothes, my car, my watches, my phones, everything means nothing.

00:03:28--> 00:04:02

Think for a moment, if you were told by the doctor who's not even a law, it's just the doctor. The doctor tries through his own findings, but he knows that perhaps the almighty can give you a longer life. How many doctors have actually said you have a week to live and you live for a whole 20 years. But if the doctor were to tell you listen, you've only got a very short space of time. It is now stage four, and you've got very little that you could do I suggest you just go home and you start taking your painkillers and prepare to meet with Allah.

00:04:04--> 00:04:08

Think for a moment if that were told to you, May Allah not do that to us.

00:04:09--> 00:04:51

It is a blessing of Allah. It is a gift of Allah. If you are told that you know why you are better than the one who dies suddenly without being able to say goodbye to his family without being able to prepare for the meeting with his maker. Without being able to make peace with Allah. we've committed sin upon sin. We are embarrassed about how we've been leading our lives. So if you are told you've got a terminal illness, it is the biggest possible gift of Allah that you could have. Do you know that it's better than giving you a billion dollars because that billion you can leave it on Earth. But when you're told of a terminal illness, if you have imagined the softening of your heart would

00:04:51--> 00:04:53

actually take you through to generativity those

00:04:55--> 00:04:59

of you following what I'm saying. You have a chance to soften your heart to say sorry to those who have

00:05:00--> 00:05:11

Hurt, to forgive, to round up, to wind up to close shop to be able to see your kids through etc. to give them the last parting words of advice Subhana Allah

00:05:13--> 00:05:28

but the blessing of Allah. When we are diagnosed, we become depressed but Allah says my worshiper imagine I took you in a sudden car crash with alcohol in the car with a girlfriend on the left and who knows what else you might or might not have done? And you went suddenly? What would have happened to you?

00:05:30--> 00:05:37

So we loved you enough to let you know that you know what, what you're, you're coming back to us, Allahu Akbar.

00:05:38--> 00:05:42

I dedicate this evening to those who have terminal illnesses and sicknesses.

00:05:43--> 00:05:48

My brothers and sisters this evening we heard a verse colonna,

00:05:57--> 00:06:05

every soul shall taste death. The word used is to taste because death has a taste.

00:06:06--> 00:06:48

You have to go through it and myself as well. Just like the others have gone through it My beloved brothers and sisters. So what do we do? We have to taste death. The Prophet sallallahu wasallam says akiro vichara Hardiman let that increase the remembrance of that one thing that will destroy your wrong lusts and desires. What is it? death? A true what means should never get up in the morning, being confident that they will still be alive at night, and they should never recline in bed being confident that they're going to get up in the morning. know if you're a true mock mean when you get up in the morning, you should say, Oh Allah, I don't know if you're going to allow me to see the

00:06:48--> 00:07:19

evening. And when you're going to recline, you read the peacemaker Allahu MOBA to Jambi. What because in the NFC from Villa, we're in our CELTA for her if we can let the photo de Baca Salim, it is in your name Allah that I put my side to recline, I put my side to recline to go to sleep. I am reclining in my bed and it is with your name or Allah that I will get up in the morning if you have given me that life.

00:07:22--> 00:07:24

If you have taken my soul away,

00:07:26--> 00:07:27

then forgive it.

00:07:29--> 00:07:48

Every evening that's a dua the Prophet sallallahu Sallam has taught us Oh Allah if you have taken my soul in my sleep, forgive it. And if you have granted it returned for a short while back into this earth, then protect it the same way you protect those who are your pious slaves and worshipers, but too beautiful too.

00:07:49--> 00:07:58

So that is a believer. It is not wrong to think perhaps I might go today. It will help you to prepare, it will help you to quickly say a few Shahada

00:07:59--> 00:08:30

La ilaha illa Allah Muhammad Rasul Allah keep it on your tongue sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Mancha. hirakata Amina Daniela ilaha illa Allah, Allah Janata, whoever's last words and speech as they exit this world happens to be that statement of worshiping Allah alone La Ilaha Illa. Allah there is none worthy of worship besides Allah. He will enter Jannah Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

00:08:32--> 00:08:58

So my brothers and sisters, when Allah has kept you in a condition where you're told that you are terminally ill or you are sick, I want to tell you, you have no option but to be hopeful in the mercy of Allah. We live with hope we know he will cure us we have that conviction that Allah will cure us. Allah will kill you. And we have the conviction that Allah has mercy is upon us.

00:09:00--> 00:09:07

I've met so many brothers and sisters, they've been diagnosed with an illness, they are told you know what? terminal sickness?

00:09:09--> 00:09:31

If you're told terminal sickness, there are so many who've come back, and suddenly they're free from the sickness. Doesn't Allah subhanho wa Taala? Doesn't he Kyo? Isn't he the owner of miracles? Can he not do things that you and I would never have imagined? That is Allah. Allah creates from nothing for him to cure is nothing but when he knows.

00:09:32--> 00:09:36

And this is one thing I want to teach you tonight and I want to remind myself about it.

00:09:37--> 00:09:51

As a believer what ever Allah does for you and to you is always the best thing that could have ever happened to you. If only you know how to take it in your stride.

00:09:53--> 00:10:00

And if only you're a good person, you lost your job. There's nothing better than that. You might wonder Hey, I don't

00:10:00--> 00:10:11

If this guy knows what he's talking about, it's a fact I've said it in the past and I've done a little bit of a survey by asking people here and they

00:10:12--> 00:10:45

lost a job applied for one didn't get it applied for a second one didn't get it applied for a third one didn't get it some gave up so they lost but Allah didn't tell you to give up. Notice your losses only because you gave up not because Allah gave up. Allah never ever gives up you and I give up because why we become despondent, but then I know of people fourth job still didn't get it first jobs still didn't get it. Then they started their own business which was now the sixth idea which grew bigger than all of those six that they were going to go to work for. Wasn't that the mercy of Allah.

00:10:49--> 00:11:25

Allah wanted you to become a boss bigger than all of those bosses whom you were going to work for. And so you knocked on this door A lot has come back and you're upset the losses but we've got a plan for you. Don't you believe in us? Your job is to keep trying. The problem with us is we stopped trying we lose hope we say Allah I'm making dua, I'm calling out to you. I'm supplicating one after the other but yeah, Allah, you are not listening. You are not responding. Allah says Don't insult me use the Jabalia. Howdy, Kamala, Mr. Gil, Allah says, you will all be answered for as long as you don't insult for as long as you don't make haste. The Sahaba says what is the meaning of

00:11:27--> 00:12:04

this making haste that you're talking about the insulting of Allah subhanho wa Taala. So the Prophet salallahu Salam says, an akula had to come down to the out to find them use touchably when one of you says I made so much da da da da but Allah is just not answering. Allah says How could you say that my worship but don't you trust me my worship or Don't you know that I know what is better for you. You know, if you were going to get that job you wanted in Pretoria, perhaps your drive from here to there would result one day in an accident where your limbs would be broken. We didn't allow you to get the job in the first place but you don't know what we did for you. So pan Allah, may

00:12:04--> 00:12:06

Allah grant us protection all of us who travel

00:12:08--> 00:12:44

no one knows you don't know what the future holds. Make the most of what you have. You have a plate of food in front of you learn to cut your spending in order to tailor make it to do your income you need to budget in Islam budget meaning Don't be shy to downgrade your life. You don't have to flash the latest of this and that it's okay if your clothing has a few patches here and there. It was assumed at the time when they didn't have that they had patches but when they had Mashallah they wore clothing, so hannula with 1000s, of Durham's and dinars.

00:12:46--> 00:12:50

But big the problem with us we want to live up to the Joneses.

00:12:52--> 00:12:55

We want to show off I've got a Rolex.

00:12:56--> 00:12:58

You didn't tell them it's fake, but you know it's a Rolex.

00:13:01--> 00:13:21

And I've got this other thing here and I've got the latest of this and the latest. Who are you showing? It needs one visit to the doctor where you given bad news for you to realize, Rolex, forget about it. I'm not even rolling. So panela really its effect. We lose. Just turn to Allah. Allah says

00:13:23--> 00:13:24

Neela

00:13:27--> 00:13:28

fabby Danica,

00:13:38--> 00:14:03

amazing verse. Allah says you want to know better than everything that you collect and the mass better than your wealth, your watches, your phones, your whatever else, your houses and the things that are so cozy and comfortable to you, and your food that you so much love and everything else that you absolutely adore better than all of that is simply the virtue and the mercy of Allah.

00:14:04--> 00:14:11

If Allah has mercy on you, trust me there is nothing more valuable than the mercy of Allah.

00:14:12--> 00:14:54

That is why my brothers and sisters, the most beloved unto Allah was the messenger peace be upon him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, but he was not known as a wealthy man who ran behind this world. In fact, he was born an orphan, he grew up and he was looked at as an honest person, but when he came with the message, they really made his life difficult. He lost his children, when they were in their infancy, most of them all his boys were gone. And his girls, he lost them when they were in their adulthood. If Allah subhanahu wa taala has mercy meant that your children were not going to die, his will be would have been the first ones that wouldn't have died.

00:14:56--> 00:14:59

But when Allah loves you, he's going to show you I'm going to take your child

00:15:00--> 00:15:12

way in your life, you know why? What you go through when your child is taken away in your life is something that nobody can ever understand or help you with unless it has happened to them.

00:15:14--> 00:15:16

May Allah make it easy upon those who have lost their children.

00:15:20--> 00:15:33

A consolation for those who are orphans is that when Allah chose for the most beloved, he chose for him to be an orphan. It's a sign that Allah loves you, but you have to keep going. You have to keep going.

00:15:35--> 00:15:56

A consolation for those who've lost their children, just as I have said, a consolation for those who are persecuted in society and community. Those who are looked down upon people harassing you spreading rumors about you, calling you names, falsely accusing you, it is a clear direct sign of the love of Allah for you. If only you are content, what are they going to do?

00:15:57--> 00:16:41

The insults of the one who wants to be abusive will never harm you. It is Allah alone, who is the controller of benefit and harm. the praise of those who want to praise you when you have money, authority, a high level of this and that and good looks, or maybe it's just the makeup that you know how to use still. If that is the case, and they praise you. Remember, the praise will never help you. It is only Allah who will help you. Praise of humankind is fake, it is fake. It makes you feel good for a moment, you need to go back and tell yourself, did this thing make my head swell? If it did, it was the devil. Because the true connection with Allah, the prophet muhammad sallallahu

00:16:41--> 00:16:48

alayhi wa sallam as much as they sang in his praise. It was to their benefit not to his.

00:16:49--> 00:17:02

He knew who he was. All of us know. In his case, he was sinless and spotless and perfect. In our case, we are so sinful, how would praise make you feel like a big deal. When you know what Mark you are in? May Allah forgive us.

00:17:03--> 00:17:33

This is why we say be happy with the decree of Allah. There is nothing that can ever happen that is bad for men, for as long as he or she has the conviction in Allah, the faith in Allah. Faith keeps you going without your faith, you have no way to turn nothing. Without faith when something bad happens to you, you're cursing your boss and your job. When you have faith. The boss tells you something oppressive, and you have been wronged. You can actually smile and say my lord is in charge.

00:17:34--> 00:17:56

What alum Anil Amata Luigi Tamara de la cabeza in lemon farakka in LA Bhima taka taka hula hula, you need to know that if the entire nation gets together in order to assist you with a small thing, they will never be able to help you with anything unless Allah has written that that is supposed to have come to you.

00:17:57--> 00:18:06

While RBG Tama Allah Ania capetian lamea to ruka illa de marca de bajo la la la roofie Attila palamu

00:18:08--> 00:18:27

the Prophet sallallahu Sallam says if the whole Ouma the whole world, the whole the nations get together in order to harm you in one way or another. They will never ever be able to harm you unless Allah has written it against you because at the moment, the pens have been lifted and the pages are dry, your destiny is written

00:18:28--> 00:18:29

Subhana Allah,

00:18:30--> 00:19:14

work for Allah. Allah loves you feel the love of Allah, in your challenges in your sickness. I was saying the one who is sick have opened the mercy of Allah so hopeful that I'm going to be cured and so hopeful that if I die I die with a smile. I know Allah will forgive me look at the magician's at the time of the Pharaoh. They made one such day and Allah gave them Jenna how many such does have you and I made May Allah accept at least one of them have hope in Allah. Those were people who made one sujood they were executed by the pharaoh thereafter. Allah says we forgave them and gave them Jenna, you and I Today Tonight we made more subdued than this kind of hope in the mercy of Allah.

00:19:14--> 00:19:58

Your Lord has not created you to punish you. But you need to develop a relationship with him believe in the mercy of Allah and are in the Vani Abitibi Allah says I will treat each worshipper of mine the way he thinks I'm going to treat him amazing when you think I was gonna punish me for this punish me for that You are insulting Allah because Allah says once you have asked for my forgiveness, that sin is wiped out if you are genuine, forget about it. Don't doubt my mercy. I am the Most Merciful. I told you that at the beginning. Bismillah R Rahman Al Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen Rahman Al Rahim Allah dude algorfa I've told you my name is my qualities. Why don't

00:19:58--> 00:19:59

you believe in these

00:20:00--> 00:20:07

names and these qualities, these are supposed to be there in order to encourage you to turn to Allah not to become frightened of Allah.

00:20:11--> 00:20:15

We love Allah so much that the fear we have in us is the fear,

00:20:16--> 00:20:21

to insult him to make him angry, to make him upset. That is the fear.

00:20:22--> 00:20:34

I'm not scared of Allah, I'm scared of the punishment of Allah. But for Allah, I love him. I love him so much that when we say the fear of Allah, we're actually referring to the fear of the punishment of Allah.

00:20:35--> 00:20:57

But for Allah, I love him. And Allah loves me. That's why I'm here. That's why I was able to create or that's why I was able to actually fulfill one such there because Allah created me and he knows Allah loves me enough to allow me to be from among those who worships Him alone. Isn't that a sign of love? You are in the house of who here? Please tell me

00:20:58--> 00:20:59

those who

00:21:00--> 00:21:08

if you were not chosen by Allah, you would not be here Subhana Allah, you are a VIP.

00:21:10--> 00:21:57

You are a VIP. Why you are in the house, of the owner of your life and mine Subhan Allah. Imagine going into the house of a big man. Think about whoever you want a big person you dream of looking at meaning going to visit in their home and they welcome you Subhana Allah, this is the house of Allah, a billion times bigger than that you are chosen by Allah to be here. That's why Allah says on the Day of Judgment, we will give a special shade to certain types of people. One of them is he whose heart is always in the masjid when they enter the masjid. They don't want to get out of there. Now I want to just help ourselves correct ourselves a little bit here. When we come in the masjid we look

00:21:57--> 00:22:01

at the clock so much that we can't wait to get out especially last night

00:22:02--> 00:22:04

when the score was four zero

00:22:08--> 00:22:10

she you know what I'm talking about.

00:22:11--> 00:22:18

Allah make it easy. One brother says but she hits okay because there's Muslims in the team. I said that's

00:22:21--> 00:22:22

relevant.

00:22:23--> 00:22:28

You running away from Allah. And then the one youngster came and said we want because it was Ramadan and we made

00:22:30--> 00:22:33

and then like, gosh, is there anything else you wanted to make? Do our for

00:22:35--> 00:23:11

Allah bless us. When you come in the house of Allah. We should be relaxed here. beautiful, lovely, absolutely amazing. Become don't want to rush out take your time because why also have Allah Rajan boo boo, Allah can bill masajid a man whose heart is hanging in the masjid, he wants to go back there again. And again. When you go in the masjid. You don't want to come out in a rush, you come out because you have to come out now you've got to go home, you've got to have your meal and so on and so forth and so on. The same applies to for an when we are listening to the Quran, when we are reading the Quran, the word of Allah.

00:23:12--> 00:23:25

If you pick up the Quran and you cannot wait to close it, you need help. But if you pick up the Quran and you finish what you had to finish, and sometimes you might even go a little bit more, you're heading in the right direction, Mashallah.

00:23:27--> 00:24:02

let's develop this. I was saying if you have hoping the mercy of Allah, you die with a smile on your deathbed when you are suffering the pains of death, when it's the most difficult time because whatever illness you may have had, or the heart attack or whatever else might have come in your direction. You still know Allah promised me forgiveness. I'm dying with a smile. I'm going back to rob boon or ofin gaafu Rahman Rahim monta wa Juan of foreign Masha Allah, Allah, how can you ever lose hope even on your deathbed

00:24:04--> 00:24:26

as we move to Babu akula nasi de facto that is a door, everyone is going to go through it. And you know what? The Prophet Muhammad sallahu wa salam speaks about the gift of a believer What do you think the gift of a believer is? The gift of a believer? What is it? Did you lead your life with two main characteristics? What are these two,

00:24:27--> 00:24:32

worship Allah and respect the rest of the creatures of the same Allah? That's all.

00:24:33--> 00:24:43

Two things you need to do in your life, serve Allah and that service of Allah should lead you to serve the rest of the creatures of Allah, even if they be animals. Did you hear what I just said?

00:24:45--> 00:24:59

Didn't you hear of the narration of a person who was kind to adopt so he got forgiveness and so on. There are so many other generations like that to prove to you Allah loves it. When you understand who he is. Who is he he is the one who

00:25:00--> 00:25:12

life to the who you hate. Did you hear what I just said? He who you disagree with completely the giver of that life was Allah the same Allah Who gave you your life, nothing makes you more

00:25:16--> 00:25:19

nothing makes you more entitled

00:25:20--> 00:25:22

to the life then that person

00:25:23--> 00:25:24

the entitlement is

00:25:26--> 00:25:50

so, so to be honest, we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala has mercy and when we ask it be convinced, when you make dua to Allah be convinced, call out to Allah in a beautiful way with conviction. Don't say I don't know what Allah is gonna do, Allah will forgive Allah has forgiven and Allah shall forgive, that is Allah job he will do it. That's why Allah says only arriba de La Nina

00:25:53--> 00:25:59

la takanobu. In law, Allah is a blessing the sinful people.

00:26:00--> 00:26:16

Those who have committed sin upon sin, they have wronged themselves in a big way. Allah tells his messenger Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam to tell those people don't you dare lose hope in the mercy of Allah. Why? in Allah Hi.

00:26:18--> 00:26:18

Jamie.

00:26:21--> 00:26:31

Allah will forgive Oh, all your sins, it only requires you to turn to him did you turn? If the answer is yes, forget about it, Your sins are wiped out. Carry on.

00:26:33--> 00:27:01

But with us, you see shaitaan has a trap. What's his trap? He makes you commit the sin initially. Because he makes you belittle within yourself through human nature or whatever else, the standing of Allah you forget the status of Allah for a moment, you commit a sin thereafter. Shaytan is excited. But shaytan can have kept you on that wrong path for 20 5070 years. It requires. Allah says one moment will wipe it out. 70 years gone.

00:27:02--> 00:27:05

Allah requires one moment, a moment of truth. That's all.

00:27:07--> 00:27:11

But Satan's trap is after you seek forgiveness. He comes back to you.

00:27:12--> 00:27:20

He comes back to you. And what does he make you do? He makes you insult Allah in a bigger way than the original sin?

00:27:22--> 00:27:23

Do you want to know how

00:27:24--> 00:28:03

a man committed adultery? That was a sin between him and Allah? May Allah subhanho wa Taala protect us and our families and the Ummah and humanity at large? May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us all protection, and sound morals and values. I mean, my brothers and sisters, thereafter, he seeks forgiveness. Allah says, you sought forgiveness, I wiped it out. shaitan is upset. Shaytan comes back to this man and says, You know what? Allah is not as merciful as you think he is. He still hasn't forgiven you, not you. What do you imagine what you did? How could you have done that? What did shavon do? He's now making you insult Allah. The first sin was a sin that was committed. The

00:28:03--> 00:28:29

second one, you haven't even recognized who your maker is. You are now thinking when Allah says don't lose hope you say but I'm losing hope. You're going against the verse of Allah, the instruction of Allah, how dare you have the courage or the deviation to go against what Allah is telling you in terms of His mercy, how to lose hope in the mercy of Allah, that is a trap of the devil. When you have sought forgiveness, the sin is gone, over wiped out.

00:28:30--> 00:28:39

Four conditions need to be met, what are they admit your fault within yourself, between you and Allah, we don't go to human beings and confess there's nothing like that in Islam.

00:28:40--> 00:29:07

We go to Allah and confess the darkness of the night anytime. admit your sin, regret it, seek the forgiveness of Allah and promise him you're not going to do it again. At that moment, if you really promised Allah you will not going to do it again. And for some reason, some way down the line disconnected to what you had promised Allah initially, you happen to repeat the same sin at some stage later. Go and repeat the same process again later. Allah deals with the two separately, remember this?

00:29:08--> 00:29:17

Remember this, you need to know it. Why I say you need to know it. My brothers and sisters faith is there to give you hope. The quality of your life will improve.

00:29:19--> 00:29:38

Your lifespan will not change unless decided that but the quality of that life will improve with faith with discipline with morals with values, the quality of your life improves. I've got a beautiful life. Why? Because I'm disciplined. The minute you're not disciplined, and it's all about this and that and singing and whatever else, you find out what will happen to you. May Allah forgive us.

00:29:40--> 00:29:42

So those who have

00:29:43--> 00:29:49

illness and sickness amongst us, wherever you are across the globe, have hope in the mercy of Allah.

00:29:50--> 00:30:00

Prepare for the meeting with Allah make peace with people around you make peace with your family members, sort out your affairs. You are lucky, you are fortunate at least you've been told why not

00:30:00--> 00:30:17

Two good things can happen to you. One is, you might get a cure, the dunya type of cure, the cure that we talk about in this worldly life, which means no more sickness. I went to check, guess what remission Subhan Allah, may Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us that cure.

00:30:19--> 00:30:24

But otherwise, there is another gift. Another good thing that can happen to you What is it?

00:30:25--> 00:30:37

You can go back to Allah, country, you have to go anywhere. If not today, then tomorrow, not tomorrow, then the next day. You have to drop at some point it's not going to carry on people before you have gone you have to go Subhana Allah.

00:30:38--> 00:31:04

We're gonna go meet with Allah. I tried, I read my Salah as best as I could I sought forgiveness. seeking forgiveness is probably the best thing you could ever do in your life. Do you know that? keep seeking forgiveness every day or last week, I want to tell you something that's come to my mind again, consolation. All of us have sinned. What's the difference between the sins we commit and the sins that those people who don't even believe commit? I tell you?

00:31:06--> 00:31:20

When we've committed a sin, it's never ever in defiance of Allah. It's always due to human weakness. But we know deep down what I did is wrong. Oh Allah, forgive me. Why human weakness made you sin. I didn't defy Allah.

00:31:21--> 00:31:48

The one who defies allies, not a believer, every sin we who have who are seated here, or who are listening to this, every sin that we've committed, it's out of human weakness. Allah says, seek forgiveness, wipe it out. I know you're not insulting me actually. You're not belittling me. You're not defying me. It's not like Allah said alcohol is haram. So a man comes and says what you're gonna do here I'm drinking it show me. No one does that. Not a single person does that.

00:31:49--> 00:31:50

You see?

00:31:51--> 00:31:59

May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us ease. So that gift I was talking about the process Allah says min

00:32:00--> 00:32:02

as a gift was the gift.

00:32:03--> 00:32:04

Guess what it is?

00:32:06--> 00:32:18

What do you think it is? You might say Jenna, right? paradise. They might say some contentment. You might say something else. The professor Salaam says the gift of a believer is death Subhanallah

00:32:20--> 00:32:20

death

00:32:21--> 00:32:31

aren't we surprised? How death How is death gift? I tell you what? You want paradise don't you? To get there you have to die.

00:32:33--> 00:32:42

We want paradise and we don't want to die. Allah says what kind is this? Allah? If I asked you today who wants gentlemen he will put up two hands inshallah. Don't worry, you'll have two genders.

00:32:43--> 00:32:46

And then if I say who wants to die against like a not yet

00:32:47--> 00:33:02

I was still looking at that Ferrari down the road day. You know, I was still thinking perhaps I'll get that job. The guys offered me this. Hey, my missus is young. What's gonna happen to her if I die? I shocks I can't imagine. Or like keep me alive. Oh, Allah says Don't worry, man. They are women prettier than her.

00:33:03--> 00:33:05

were taken by your friends Allahu Akbar

00:33:06--> 00:33:21

is one are you worried about what's going to happen to your family? When there are others whose families were sometimes looked after better than you could if you were alive? how's it gonna happen? Yes, Allah will take care of him. On

00:33:28--> 00:33:31

the Illa Allah, Allah here is

00:33:33--> 00:33:35

everything that is moving on Earth.

00:33:37--> 00:33:40

Allah promises that he will sustain it.

00:33:41--> 00:33:45

I will look after it, I will provide for it what it needs, I will give it

00:33:47--> 00:33:52

the ends that might be around here that we can't even see who provides for those ends.

00:33:54--> 00:34:27

If Allah knows the ends that are around here, do you really think he doesn't know you? And I hear if Allah provides for the mosquitoes Do you really think that is not going to provide for you and I and by the way, the provision of some of those mosquitoes might be your blood because it's sweets and Allah but Allah knows what his little mama knows it and Allah says Don't worry, we wrote it man. Please The next time you see a mosquito on yourself, don't just say alright your sustenance written no problem. You can carry on you know, you can still Mashallah attack it you are allowed to

00:34:30--> 00:34:31

Allah forgive us.

00:34:33--> 00:34:40

So the hope that we have shall lead us to that gift, which is death, with a smile.

00:34:41--> 00:34:59

The day you are not well and it will happen to all of us. If Allah gives you a life, your knees begin to pain your back begins to pain. You cannot stand anymore you sitting then you have to lie down then you embed always have hope in the mercy of Allah. Remember my words. I promise you mark why

00:35:00--> 00:35:16

I'm saying, even if you're going, think about the good things you've done and say, Oh Allah, I did do a few good things. Just look at them. If you could forgive a man who gave water to a dog, I gave some some to a human being, like what I'm telling you honestly, tell a lot that

00:35:17--> 00:35:38

you've done good. I've done good. All of us have done good. But the problem is the bad have has a weight on our shoulders, because we haven't actually shrugged it off in the proper way. Take it out, wipe it out. It won't help you. Like I said, the day you realize what is of true value is the day

00:35:39--> 00:36:08

the day that you realize what is of true value is the day that you know, I'm going to go soon. Then you start thinking all this, what is it? What is it about? I love this, I love that I love, I love my jacket and take it out and give it away. Take this out and give it away. Take that out and give it away and see how you feel. Allah says you won't achieve righteousness until you spend from that which you love span Allah and another factor, your time.

00:36:09--> 00:36:54

Your Time. Time is a creature of Allah, Allah put us into it. Use it wisely, very wisely. Especially with your family. A lot of us have a problem. We don't spend time with our family. You want the mercy of Allah think, why did Allah give me family so that I would just lead a life separately from them? No. spend the time with them and allow open your doors, the doors of mercy. By the way, this is the month of Ramadan, it's the month of mercy, the month of forgiveness, the month of happiness, the month of joy, the month of celebration towards the end, the month of Subhanallah excessive acts of worship, that is the month so introspect and correct yourself and reflect within you and reach

00:36:55--> 00:37:31

out to others because it is also the month of compassion. You want to end the pleasure of Allah, you need to reach out to others who are struggling, Allah will help you by the will of Allah. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant you to all those who are seeking deal. May Allah have mercy upon our Imam, Imam Malik. And upon all the more hoomin of the oma And may Allah have mercy on us the day he takes us away. May our graves be filled with the Nur of Eman and may our graves be filled with that which is good and may all our sins be wiped out the day when we meet with Allah May we be from among those who are happy happily achieving the intercession of the most beloved Mohammed dibny Abdullah he
