Mustafa Khattab – Ramadan Reflections 10 Whats Your Legacy

I have a question today for everyone. So

on the way back home, ask yourself this

this question.

What is your legacy?

What is your legacy? Every one of us

should have a legacy.

So ask yourself, okay, what is my legacy?

So someone will say, well, my legacy is

every night I made sure I took the

amount of parking spot.

Well, this is not a good legacy. Right?

It's not good.

But the legacy is something that when you

stand before Allah

for judgment,

this will make you stand out.

The best generation of Muslims is the generation

of the Sahaba, of the Prophet SAW. Whenever

you say salam khalil al khairulquruni

karni.

The best generation is the generation of my

Sahaba.

And some of the, Shi'uks, they said, even

subhanAllah, when you look at the word karni,

it refers to the generation of Muhammad, sasil,

Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali. Because if

you look at the word karni,

the kaf,

the word as Siddiq, Abu Bakr ends with

a kaf.

Ra, the end of Umar. Umar. Ra at

the end. Ka Ra. Usman ended with a

noon. Qarn. Wa'ali ended

with a ya.

Qarni.

Right? I think this is this is Latifa.

This is something nice.

So now when you look at the Sahaba

of the prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam, of

course they had some amazing qualities. They were

the best, they were the finest,

but every one of them, there was something

special about each and every one of them.

Yani. Say for example, when you think of

Abu Bakr alayhi lawa'an, what comes to your

mind? Of course, he had so many good

qualities, but there is one thing

that made him stand out. Yes?

He always believed in the first lie Surzali

Yusuf? Assent, mashaAllah.

His sincerity and his dedication to the cause

of Muhammad SAW.

This is his legacy.

If you think of Umar radhiallahu anhu, his

justice.

Maruth

bi'adlihi.

When you think about Usma radhiallahu anhu, his

generosity.

When you think of Ali

his bravery and his dedication.

Right? So each and every one of them

has a legacy.

When you think of Arul Bayt

Arul Bayt and Nabi

we love them, and they are the best,

the finest after Muhammad

They

were known for their tahara,

zakal, and their purity and generosity.

And had to Ahad Arul Bayt

Jafar, and he is a descendant of the

prophet

and he can't get a sataq katheeran. And

he maybe he had a tijara, he had

a business, but he used to give a

lot of money for sataqah.

And someone said, okay, Like, you're wasting a

lot of money, like, you're giving most of

your money for salakah. What is this?

So he said something amazing. He said, I

have a habit with Allah

and Allah has a habit with me.

My habit

with him is that I'm generous with his

creation,

the people, like I said. And Allah's habit

with me is that he's generous with me.

So I'm afraid if I cut off my

habit with his creation, with his people, he's

going to cut off his habit with me.

Right?

And the prophet

believed in specialization.

He knew that each and every one of

the Sahaba had a special quality.

And let's say for example, when it was

time for the kamatul salah,

Then, the prophet

would have called Abu Bakr rur Umar anyone

from the Sahaba.

But no, he chose Bilal

because he stood out for having a beautiful

voice.

1 of the Sahaba, Abu Hurayla, radiAllahu anhu,

he stood out for memorization of hadith.

A lot of us think

that Abu Huraira,

who was Muslim for so many years with

Muhammad SAW Salam, Abu Huraira

was one of the last people to believe

in Islam. He was only Muslim for 3

years

with Muhammad

Literally,

he spent

1,000 days with Muhammad

and he reported about 5,500

hadith or more. That's more than five Hadith

everyday

for a 1000 a 1000 days.

So each and every one of the sahaba

had a special quality, a legacy

that made him stand out. Khadija

for her karam and support for Muhammad

Sawada bintizamaha,

the wife of the prophet,

umun Masaikin. She used to take care of

the poor, and she used to provide for

them. So now I've given some examples. There

are so many examples, but I think these

are enough

to make the point

that each and every one of us should

have a legacy.

So now what is your legacy? Your legacy

could be something like, well, I raised Muslim

kids.

There are successful Canadians and there are Muslim

kids.

My legacy could be, well, volunteering my time.

My legacy could be helping people.

My legacy could be making itama or adhan

for for salahir.

My legacy could be, like, you know, providing

for someone or,

you know, helping with

donating to the masjid, taking care of the

masjid, for example. This is this is a

very good Lacy. And on Yamuqiyava,

we know that the gates of Jannah this

is the last thing I will say, inshallah.

The last the the gates of Jannah, there

are 8 of them,

and each one of us will go to

Jannah based on their legacy.

So say, for example, if someone's legacy in

dunya, their fasting was the best. This is

the best thing they did.

Then Allah

according to, in the hadith of the prophet

this person will go to Jannah through the

gate of Arayan because this is the best.

This is what made them stand out.

Someone's best i'dala in dunya was salah, they

will go to Jannah through the door of

Salah. Someone will go through the door of

sadaqa and zakah, according to the hadith of

Muhammad

Each one of the 8 doors has a

special quality,

and this is your legacy. If you're good

at one of those, you will go to

Jannah through that particular door. And Abu Bakr

radiAllahu alaihi wa'amu said, You Rasulullah,

what if someone is good at all of

these things? Like sadaqah,

zakah, siyam, salah, and so on and so

forth. So the prophet said,

the person will be called to Jannah from

each of all of these doors, and I

hope that Abu Bakr

would be one of them.

If Allah

blessed you with health, help people.

If he blessed you with time, volunteer.

If he blessed you with a beautiful voice,

make a vam. And if Allah

blessed you with money,

help those who are in need, including the

house of Allah

With that being said, tomorrow at Jum'ah,

we have, our annual fundraiser to pay for

the utilities, the electric electricity, the power, the

water, the maintenance, and, insurance, all the expenses

of the masjid. So make sure, inshallah, you

come prepared tomorrow, and we ask Allah Subhanahu

Wa Ta'ala to accept from you, and we

ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to admit you

to Jannah from all of these gates, You

Rabbir Alameen.

The question for last night was about tasting

food while fasting. The answer is yes, you

can taste,

the food but make sure you spit it

out and rinse your mouth and, and this

should be enough

And, his brother Amir here?

Amir Rasfur?

Amir Rasfur. So he won the prize, but

I'm gonna give it to him, tomorrow

And the question for tonight,

you started your fasting Ramadan in Canada,

and you are traveling, like middle of the

month you are going back home to spend

the rest of the month with your family.

So what if they fasted on different days?

And let's say for example we fasted here

Wednesday,

they fasted over there on Thursday.

So what do you do when they have

their Eid day? I know it's kind of

complicated, you need to do a lot of

research,

but if you know the answer, email me

before tomorrow
