Mustafa Khattab – Ramadan Gems 3

I can hear a lot of talking in

the back. Also, after we're finished, when we

leave outside, they're leaving, go to your car.

We'll make a lot of noise because as

we said, our neighbors are asleep. And, some

of us, we make a lot of noises

and

When you come to Friday, for example, you

go because just your family comes to Jummah.

You fasten Allah just because your family fasten

Allah or because your cousin fasten Allah.

But you are not doing it because you

are convinced it is the right thing to

do. You're not doing it because you are

convinced it

is the right thing to do. You're not

doing it to get the reward. So this

is the mechanical worship. You do it just

mechanical without thinking about

it. The mechanical worship does not have an

impact on you. It doesn't make you a

better person.

Whereas a jimul worship,

you do it purely for the sake of

Allah Subhanahu Wa'ala. Your heart is there when

you are doing it, and you are doing

it and

it makes you a better person.

And this is why Allah Subhanahu Wa'ala when

he speaks about salah, for example, in the

But if you do a Hibara mechanically,

for example, if you say a shahad,

you say the shahad mechanically

without thinking about the being

and without doing the requirements to become a

good Muslim, then you shahad becomes basically, like,

chanting

you shahada becomes basically like chanting and singing.

When you pray mechanically,

faster than life, so the burden will be

off your shoulder,

then this is not a genuine rabadah. This

is a mechanical rabble. And Allah subhanahu wa'ala

says in Surah al Baqarah.

See comfort and help in salah. And indeed

it's a burden except in those who humble

themselves to Allah subhanahu

So it's a burden on some people.

So when you pray mechanically,

faster than light, you are not thinking about

what you're saying. You said

quickly as some people do, this is not

a genuine Rebekah. This is a

mechanical Rebekah.

So this is the mean, if this is

the case, if you pray mechanically,

you'll saw it's no more that yoga. Some

people pray like this, you know, they do

this. The movements, physically,

physically, but, spiritually, this is not salah. When

you give your salah mechanically, this is nothing

more than paying your GST. You do it

so you don't go to jail.

You give your zakat so you don't go

to Jahannik,

but you don't do it out of love

for Allah to have to help the poor

and to give it a reward.

When, for example, you do the ash

and you do it in Khadim, just to

give the side of Hajji. Some people do

it for this. And some people, they are

happy. They love titles.

They would study for 7 years to give

the the title of doctor, PhD, professor.

And some people just pay $10,000

to go to Mecca and give the title

Hajj.

And these people would be dancing in the

street when they die because they will give

the title.

They will not fight them so much. Okay?

So if this is what you do, you

do have mechanically,

and you make the laws around the Kaaba,

this is nothing better than jogging around the

beach or physically to say it because your

heart is not there. So Allah subhanahu wa

ta'ala is telling us in the Qur'an and

also in Khadim, in the prophet that

you have to make a better genuinely to

be sabiilah.

Purely for the sake of Allah Subhanahu wa'ala.

The second point is which is a genuine

Rebala would make you a better you. It

will have an impact on you. You do

it

because as I said last night, what is

the point if you pray

but you lie?

You fasted on a lie and you steal.

You see, you do it mechanically. If you

do it the right way, it will make

you a better Muslim. You do it purely

for the same of Allah Subhanahu Wa'ala. When

it's lost.

I'm gonna conclude with this story,

and I

masjid all the time, so he wants to

he wanted to propose and marry the sister.

So, of course, he's family because she was

from our background, and this is what the

sisters do. Her family did the background check

on the brother. Your history, from the name

of the lord, the name of the name

of the prophet. This is what happens.

And this is why when he didn't get

married to his sister, there was no reason

for him to come to the masjid, so

he stopped coming altogether.

There's no sincerity.

We have to go to the masjid to

give us sincerity.

A question for last night,
