My beloved brothers and sisters,

00:00:02 --> 00:00:03

when the masajid,

00:00:03 --> 00:00:06

the restrictions are lifted and their doors are

00:00:06 --> 00:00:08

flung open to the general public as it

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

should be, Remember, don't drive past the masjid

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

knowing that it is the time of salah

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

and this is the house of Allah. Allah

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

only invites to His houses those whom He

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

knows are close to Him. And why I

00:00:21 --> 00:00:23

say this is because there is a clear

00:00:23 --> 00:00:26

cut Hadith that talks about the VIPs on

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

the day of judgment. And I've mentioned this

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29

many times where the Prophet

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

clearly says,

00:00:33 --> 00:00:36

a person whose heart is connected to the

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

houses of Allah, to the places of prostration.

00:00:39 --> 00:00:42

SubhanAllah. That person will have a special shade

00:00:42 --> 00:00:43

on the day of reckoning when there will

00:00:43 --> 00:00:45

be no shade but the shade given by

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

Allah. Let your heart be connected to the

00:00:47 --> 00:00:49

Masjid in such a way that even if

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

there are restrictions, the pain that is felt

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

in your heart depicts the connection that you

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

have with the houses of Allah. And the

00:00:56 --> 00:00:57

fact that you're prostrating,

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59

even though you might be at home, is

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

something amazing. It is a sign of closeness

00:01:01 --> 00:01:03

to Allah. Allah says, ijaaloo

00:01:10 --> 00:01:13

Make sure that you have taken your houses

00:01:13 --> 00:01:16

as the direction of prayer towards Allah

00:01:16 --> 00:01:19

and make sure that you fulfill your prayer

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

according to the instruction of Allah. And Allah

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

says, if you want the goodness, make sure

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25

that even your homes

00:01:25 --> 00:01:28

are considered places of worship, places of prayer.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

How many of us have a lot of

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

dirty things at home? Take them out. When

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

you do something bad, the bricks and the

00:01:34 --> 00:01:35

walls and the floors and the roofs and

00:01:35 --> 00:01:38

the ceilings, all of that bears witness.

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

It is watching like a CCTV,

00:01:40 --> 00:01:40

subhanallah,

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

And it will bear witness against you or

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44

for you. You need to seek forgiveness in

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

order to wipe it out. It will all

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

be gone and you make peace with Allah.

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

When you make peace with Allah and everything

00:01:50 --> 00:01:53

is wiped out, you will achieve peace at

00:01:53 --> 00:01:55

home. Some people say, I have no peace

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

at home. Well, my brother, my sister, is

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

something wrong happening at home? Are you worshiping

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

Allah at home? Do you call the call

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04

to prayer and pray when it comes to

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06

your salawat? Do you call the Adhan 5

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

times a day and fulfill your prayer? Is

00:02:08 --> 00:02:10

your house filled with Quran and tilawah and

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12

dhikr and ibadah and good

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

character and beautiful teachings for your children and

00:02:15 --> 00:02:17

so on? Or is it filled with swear

00:02:17 --> 00:02:20

words? Is it filled with hostile behavior?

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

Is it filled with that which is displeasing

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25

to Allah? If that's the case, how do

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

you expect that house to be filled with

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

nur and with peace? May Allah

00:02:30 --> 00:02:33

grant us goodness and may Allah open our

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

doors. My beloved brothers and sisters,

00:02:35 --> 00:02:38

let's cry to Allah for forgiveness so that

00:02:38 --> 00:02:40

Allah be pleased with us. May Allah accept

00:02:40 --> 00:02:41

that dua from us.
