So last night, we spoke about knowledge and
we spoke about Ibadan.
Today we'll talk about the essence, the core
of Islam and the essence of Ibadah.
The essence of Islam is to make your
life easy. Islam
is all about making your life simple and
easy.
And to live a decent and happy life
in this dunya and to go to Jannah
and Afra. This is the most distance of
Islam.
Islam
is to generate taqwa in your heart and
to bring the Muslim community close to each
other,
the unity among Muslims.
The time when the Quran talks about Ibadah,
the verses always ends with the word Taqwa.
So the purpose of Ibadah,
the purpose of Sayyad in the Quran is
so that the Baqarah is to generate taqwa
in your hearts,
to make you mindful of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala.
The purpose of Hajj is to generate in
your heart, salah, and so on and so
forth.
There's no time to list all the ayahs
in the Quran. Again, you can check it
yourself.
So the second purpose is to bring Muslims
together and to create unity among Muslims.
When do you or how where do you
pray the 5 daily prayers? You pray them
on your own or you are committed to
come to the masjid and pray with other
Muslims,
to be with them, to be a group
together.
The Hajj. Do you do Hajj whenever you
feel like in any month you want or
the Hajj is done at certain times so
all people can go together?
Do you pass Ramadan in any month you
want or it is done in a special
month? So all Muslims fast together
As I said, the purpose, the essence of
Ibadan Islam is to bring Muslims together. But
sometimes
some Muslim,
they spoil the joy of Ramadan and the
joy of Eid, and they kill the spirit
of unity. So for example, a big fire
on the 1st day of Ramadan, whether Ramadan
is Friday or Saturday.
Then another big fight, whether should we pray
11 rakah or 21 rakahs.
Then another big fight, whether should we finish
the whole Quran in Ramadan or just a
few swords from here and there. Then a
big fight, should you give your zakat of
faith money or food?
Then the last day a big fight with
an aid is tomorrow or the day after
tomorrow.
So,
one of my friends, he was an Imam
in Texas, he told me this story that
the 1st day of Ramadan, a few years
back,
they had that that big fight on the
1st night of Tarawim
because they disagreed on whether they'll play, pray,
and live in rak'ahs or 21 rak'ahs.
So they started the fight with chairs and
baseball clubs and all that stuff, and people
started to bleed on the carpet.
So one of them wanted to finish the
fight, so he called the police. True story.
So the police came and they saw people
fighting and pleasing on the carpet.
So the police been started running on the
carpet with their shoes inside the muslim.
So both groups, the 11 rakas group and
the 21 rakas group, they stayed at the
office of haram haram. How can they walk
in our holy carpet with your shoes?
If you, find the answer, email me before
tomorrow, Aslath in the [email protected].
Good luck.
