So,
this thing is heavy. Before we begin inshallah,
I would like to give a shout out
to, brother
Yusuf Yusuf
Abi.
Assalamu alaikum, brother Yusuf Hashib. Assalamu alaikum.
If you come to the Masjid and you
see all the flow can you raise your
hand, please?
Yes.
Yes. When you see all the flowers and
all the roses in the front and in
the back, this is the work of brother
Yusuf.
The flowers.
So we ask Allah
to bless him with alfia, with health and
a long life, insha'Allah.
If you don't give thank you to tashekur
adherim, to the people, then you don't give
Tashaykur Tawla Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
I'm gonna keep it short tonight, inshaAllah. This
is my last thoughtura. I'll be leaving tomorrow
inshaAllah, and I'll miss you. I'll keep you
in my dua, so make dua for me
and the family inshaAllah.
So,
how would you feel
like you have a little
kid, like 6, 7 years old, you don't
want to take him to the public school
because this is for free, so you took
him to the highest of the top schools
in town,
And you pay, like, $20,000
or more a year for their education.
So one day at the end of the
year, they gave them the diploma, mashaAllah. They
went home, and he said, MashaAllah, my kid,
I love you. What is 1+1?
And they said, 11.
That's a big disappointment.
You know, sometimes I feel the same way.
Like, when people come to the khutba,
and, you know, they're playing with their phone,
they're falling asleep in the khutba,
And believe me, sometimes in many cases, like,
most of us coming to Jum'at, this is
the only connection you have with Islam, and
this is the only knowledge we gain throughout
the week. So if you go to work,
you are busy, you come home late, you
don't have time to read and study and
sit with the ulama, and, you know. Like,
coming to Khubba, this is your only source
of knowledge. There are 52 Khubba's a year,
so let's assume that you come for 20
Khubba's or 48 Khubba's a year. Each of
them is half an hour,
and basically with the introduction in Alhamdulillah and
the dua at the end, you end up
with, like, 15 minutes of pure knowledge,
every jum'ah. Right? So you need to pay
attention.
When people sit in the back and talk,
or they chat on Facebook, or they post
something, and, this imam is so boring, ill
oh *. I mean, you're not paying attention
to the hubaman,
and you come and you leave, and believe
me, when you leave the masjid and you
didn't gain any knowledge, you didn't learn anything
about halal and haram, you tazkiat and nafs,
you didn't learn anything,
then you just basically wasted 1 week of
your life without gaining any knowledge. Right? So
make sure inshallah, when you come to the
food, but pay attention
and try to apply
even
1% of what you hear in the Khubba.
If the imam talks about halal and haram,
how to calculate your zakah, dealing with your
family, your wife, your husband, your kids, and
taskiyatun nafsabatafsiruqulahalhadith
of the prophet
try to apply. Because what is the point
if you hear,
but you don't apply? The good thing about
the sahaba of the prophet the best generation,
they apply it. They apply it. And every
time the Prophet SAW Alaihi Wasallam said something
in hadith,
or Allah said something in the Quran,
they didn't say, Oh, he is talking to
my cousin.
No, he is talking to you. Right? He
is talking to you, not anyone else. This
is how the sahaba understood.
If it says this is halal or this
is haram, they knew it was talking to
them individually.
Right? And they paid attention to what Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said.
There is this story, little story,
and as I said, you don't have to
have a PhD in Islamic Studies to get
close to Allah
All you need to do is have, like,
pay attention,
and,
you know, you know, with sincerity,
that's all you need. That's all you need.
And Ikhlas and Hikma, this is something that
Allah
gives to whoever he wants.
There are people that I know of, they
memorize
all, you know, Ajzaqul Quran, the entire Quran
in Quran. And they know Bukhari, and Muslim,
and this and that. And
subhanAllah,
no hikmah whatsoever.
So there are two levels in Islam. There
is knowledge, which is available for everyone.
Then you have hikmah, which is a gift,
a gram from Allah. It is not for
everyone.
And these are not my words. These are
the words of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala in
Surah Baqarah.
Allah gives hikmah only to whoever he wants.
It's not for everyone.
It's a privilege, it is not a right.
Right? So Allah gives it to whoever deserves
it. And the best way to learn hikmah,
of course, is if you follow the sunnah
Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, you salar the
lives of
Muhammad in the Quran. Kitab means Quran.
Hikma means the Sunnah of Muhammad Well, Khurma
may Yutla fiyuteqqunam means Quran. Hikma means the
Sunnah of Muhammad Well, Khurma may Yutla fiyuteqqunam
means Quran. Hikma means the Sunnah of Muhammad
Well, Khurma may Yutla fiyuteqqunam means Quran. Hikma
is Quran, for sure. Hikma, the Muqasirun, they
have like Ishma is the Sunnah of Muhammad
His way, his manners, his akhlaq, and and
his ada.
So this man came to the prophet
his name was Dreymad al Azdih. It's an
authentic ahadith in al Sahha.
And this man, Dreymad al Azdih, was like
mushrik. He used to make salzat to the
idols, and he was a doctor. He was
a physician. So they told him, Muhammad salallahu
alaihi wa sallam is majnoon. So he said,
I'm gonna go to him and, you know,
talk to him. So he went to the
prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam, and he said,
if you are sick, if you are majnoon,
I'm a doctor, I can help you. So
what do you say? So the prophet salallahu
alaihi wa sallam said,
The first minute of Khuba that we hear
every Jummah.
So the man said, would you please repeat
this again for me? So the Prophet repeated
a second time, and the man said, can
you do it? They repeated it a third
time. And the Prophet repeated
it a third time.
All praise is due to Allah
We seek His help and assistance. Whoever Allah
guides, there's no one to misguide, and whoever
Allah leaves to stray, there's no one to
guide. 3 times the prophet
said, and the man said,
these are not the words of human beings.
These this is a revelation from Allah, and
he accepted Islam on the spot. The prophet
didn't have to give him Khutba, or Bayan,
or anything.
He just gave him the introduction to the
Khutba. We're not talking about the Khutba, just
the first few lines of the Khutba that
we hear every single Jum'ah.
And as soon as the imam said, Inna
Alhamdulillah, they start to nod off, and as
he says,
This is a topic for today, they snore
like,
get out of here.
Another example, so this is a man who
heard something and it affected him, it touched
their hearts.
One of the sahabas said,
I accepted Islam because the Prophet
used to talk to me every single day,
so I wanted to get him, you know,
off of my shoulders, so I said, Khas,
I'm gonna become Muslim, so the Prophet
left him alone.
So he
said, the only reason I truly accepted Islam
is when I heard the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam, insalah,
say, recite in the gala'a,
Which we read typically at the end of
the Khubba every Jum'ah. One ayah touched his
heart, and he became Muslim. And the stories
are so many.
A few days ago we spoke Khaled, I'm
almost done, so don't shoot. A few days
ago I spoke about the story of brother
Ali Banat,
a millionaire
youth, he was 25 years old, I believe,
from Australia,
and he got cancer, and he said this
is a gift from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And he was not practicing before, and they
told him you have about 7 months, and
you will die. So the last 7 months,
the last, you know, period of his life,
he dedicated his millions
to save lives and do charity work in
Africa, and millions of people have been making
dua for him. So there is a brother
in this jama'ah tonight
who heard this story, and he was so
touched.
And this is why we had when we
had the fundraiser last night, this brother came
out and he said, I'm giving 50,000
fisabilah for this masjid. And he came to
me after and he said, do you know
why I gave the 50,000? I said, I
don't know. And he said, because of the
story of brother Ali Banat. It touched me
so hard that this is a young man
who is willing to donate his money for
Usabilla.
He's not better than me. Let's compete together
in doing good. He's he has done his
best. Let me do my best because I
wanna be like this brother. And he did
his best. We ask Allah, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala,
to accept from him with akhlas. And we
ask Allah, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, to reward those
who donated last night. And those who couldn't
donate, at least if you make the offer,
us. And by niyah, we ask Allah, Subhanahu
wa Ta'ala, to give you. Last night in
tahajjud, one brother, a doctor came forward, and
he also donated 20,000 after we finished the
fundraise. So I ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
to bless you and your families, and provide
for you just like you provide for the
house of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
The last thing, inshaAllah.
The question from, say, 2 days ago,
we had a winner, but he didn't pick
up his, his prize brother, Hussein Hashi.
Hussein Hashi, if he's are you here? Masha'Allah.
Hassan. I know. Jazzaq Alafiq Alafiq. Jazzaq Alafiq.
So magaaq means, what's your name, brother Hassan?
We know your name is Hassan. Jazzaq Alafiq.
And also the winner for last night,
we know the first I have revealed of
the Quran,
some of the last I have revealed,
but this is not the last one. Today,
I have perfected your faith for you.
1 of the last, but not the last.
The very last ayah revealed of the Quran,
know why he came after is?
Ayah 281 in Surah Qadrach, according to the
majority of the mufassaroon and the scholars. And
this ayah says, be mindful of the day
when you stand before Allah for judgment.
Everyone will be rewarded according to their deeds
in this dunya. No one will be treated
unjustly. This is the last ayah. Revelations that
continued for 1000 of years to all the
prophets
came to a conclusion with this ayat no
more wahri. And the winner is, doctor Sayed
Risa.
He shay a few times, and
he got it right.
Thank you to Google.
So with that, we'll conclude, inshallah. We ask
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to accept your Ibadah
and give you Jannatah for those ameena of
Bara'at.
