Assalamu Alaikum Wa Ta'ala.

00:10:37--> 00:10:39

InshaAllah, we'll go ahead and begin, very soon.

00:10:39--> 00:10:41

I wanna, first of all explain

00:10:42--> 00:10:44

the process of salarid, inshaAllah.

00:10:44--> 00:10:46

And then I'll have everyone stand up and

00:10:46--> 00:10:48

take a minute to fill up all the

00:10:48--> 00:10:48

gaps, inshaAllah.

00:10:49--> 00:10:52

Today, as usual, we always do 7 takbira,

00:10:52--> 00:10:54

5 takbira. Today, InshaAllah, I wanna revive

00:10:55--> 00:10:56

another sunnah,

00:10:56--> 00:10:57

of the prophet

00:10:58--> 00:11:00

because prophet salallahu alayhi wasallam performed saltareed in

00:11:00--> 00:11:03

many different ways. Today, inshallah, we're going to

00:11:03--> 00:11:04

perform saltareed.

00:11:04--> 00:11:06

We're going to have in the first sakar,

00:11:06--> 00:11:08

after takbir al takharima,

00:11:08--> 00:11:09

the opening takbir.

00:11:10--> 00:11:13

And after tana, I'm gonna do 3 extra

00:11:13--> 00:11:13

takbirats.

00:11:14--> 00:11:14

3 eshtakbiraats.

00:11:15--> 00:11:17

Then we're gonna have sirafatiha,

00:11:17--> 00:11:18

kira'a,

00:11:18--> 00:11:19

ruku, sujood.

00:11:20--> 00:11:21

In the second raka'ah,

00:11:21--> 00:11:23

we will begin first of all with

00:11:26--> 00:11:27

and then before we commence

00:11:28--> 00:11:30

into the raku'ah, then we will have 3

00:11:30--> 00:11:31

extra 3 extra

00:11:32--> 00:11:34

So in the 1st rakat, 3 extra at

00:11:34--> 00:11:37

the beginning. In the 2nd rakat, 3 extra

00:11:37--> 00:11:38

at the very end. Insha'Allah.

00:11:39--> 00:11:41

This is also one way the prophet he

00:11:41--> 00:11:45

will perform salatirid inshaAllah. With that, I'm gonna

00:11:45--> 00:11:47

ask everyone to please stand up. Let's train

00:11:47--> 00:11:47

the lines.

00:11:49--> 00:11:51

We'll take a minute or 2, insha Allah.

00:11:51--> 00:11:52

Please make sure the rows are complete. The

00:11:52--> 00:11:53

rows are straight.

00:11:56--> 00:11:57

And all the children, please go back to

00:11:57--> 00:11:58

your parents.

00:12:43--> 00:12:45

Straighten lines, fill in the gaps.

00:12:47--> 00:12:49

Sisters, straighten the lines, fill in the gaps.

00:12:51--> 00:12:53

Sisters, please make sure there are no, incomplete

00:12:53--> 00:12:54

rows

00:12:55--> 00:12:57

in the 2 rooms on the side in

00:12:57--> 00:12:58

the main hall.

00:12:59--> 00:13:01

Brothers, please make sure the rows are complete.

00:13:01--> 00:13:03

In the multipurpose hall, brothers, please make sure

00:13:03--> 00:13:05

the rows are complete. Often,

00:13:05--> 00:13:07

there is a lot of space on the

00:13:07--> 00:13:10

extreme right or the extreme left side.

00:13:11--> 00:13:14

Brothers in the gymnasium, please make sure the

00:13:14--> 00:13:16

rows are straight and the rows are complete.

00:13:19--> 00:13:21

Brother Yahya, are you in the back?

00:13:23--> 00:13:24

Brother are you

00:13:25--> 00:13:25

in

00:13:26--> 00:13:26

the

00:13:27--> 00:13:27

back?

00:13:28--> 00:13:31

Yes. Okay. Is everything good in the back?

00:13:34--> 00:13:34

Okay.

00:13:37--> 00:13:38

Okay.

00:19:28--> 00:19:29

Allahu Akibam.

00:22:27--> 00:22:28

Brothers and sisters,

00:22:30--> 00:22:32

for all of us, it is a day

00:22:32--> 00:22:35

of Eid. It is a day that we

00:22:35--> 00:22:36

thank Allah

00:22:37--> 00:22:39

Because Allah says in the Quran, when he

00:22:39--> 00:22:40

talks about Ramadan,

00:22:40--> 00:22:42

that the purpose of Ramadan

00:22:42--> 00:22:44

is to connect with the Quran,

00:22:45--> 00:22:46

to fast in the month of Ramadan,

00:22:47--> 00:22:48

and hopefully Allah says,

00:22:54--> 00:22:57

Hopefully, you will finish these days of Ramadan,

00:22:57--> 00:22:58

and as a result,

00:22:59--> 00:23:01

you'll be thankful to Allah

00:23:02--> 00:23:03

Brothers and sisters,

00:23:04--> 00:23:06

our ultimate test starts today.

00:23:07--> 00:23:08

Ramadan was not the test.

00:23:09--> 00:23:10

Ramadan was a training time.

00:23:11--> 00:23:11

Allah

00:23:12--> 00:23:13

removed shaitan,

00:23:14--> 00:23:16

a great distraction in our life.

00:23:16--> 00:23:18

He changed shaitaan up for 30 days.

00:23:19--> 00:23:21

And he helped create environment

00:23:22--> 00:23:24

where we are surrounded by the Quran.

00:23:24--> 00:23:25

Where we are surrounded

00:23:25--> 00:23:28

by qiyam. Where we are surrounded by fasting.

00:23:28--> 00:23:31

Where we are surrounded by sadaqah. And we

00:23:31--> 00:23:32

are surrounded by overall

00:23:33--> 00:23:33

spirituality.

00:23:34--> 00:23:37

But brothers and sisters, now that shaitan is

00:23:37--> 00:23:37

released,

00:23:38--> 00:23:40

now that we're going back to our normal

00:23:40--> 00:23:40

lives,

00:23:41--> 00:23:43

now the question is, who is gonna keep

00:23:43--> 00:23:44

on reading the Quran?

00:23:45--> 00:23:48

The question is, who is gonna keep on

00:23:48--> 00:23:49

waking up at night and pray qiyam?

00:23:50--> 00:23:53

The question is, who's gonna continue to fast

00:23:53--> 00:23:56

throughout the entire year? Brothers and sisters, our

00:23:56--> 00:23:57

test was not Ramadan.

00:23:58--> 00:24:00

Our test actually starts now.

00:24:00--> 00:24:02

And when this test is given to us,

00:24:03--> 00:24:05

the only person who will pass this test

00:24:05--> 00:24:07

with flying colors

00:24:08--> 00:24:10

is a person who remain consistent upon their

00:24:10--> 00:24:11

deen.

00:24:12--> 00:24:13

We are not Ramadan Muslims.

00:24:14--> 00:24:16

We are Muslims throughout the entire year.

00:24:17--> 00:24:19

So many 1000 and 1000 of years ago,

00:24:19--> 00:24:21

even before Allah created everything,

00:24:22--> 00:24:24

you and I, and our ruh was before

00:24:24--> 00:24:25

Allah

00:24:26--> 00:24:29

And Allah asked all of us one question,

00:24:31--> 00:24:32

Amayna

00:24:32--> 00:24:33

your Lord?

00:24:33--> 00:24:35

And we all said, bala.

00:24:36--> 00:24:38

Yes, indeed You Allah. We You are our

00:24:38--> 00:24:40

Lord. But then we also said, shahiduna.

00:24:41--> 00:24:43

That beat That testify that we are That

00:24:43--> 00:24:45

you are That we are your slaves, and

00:24:45--> 00:24:46

you are our Lord.

00:24:47--> 00:24:48

Brothers and sisters,

00:24:49--> 00:24:51

Ramadan comes, Ramadan goes.

00:24:51--> 00:24:53

But brothers and sisters,

00:24:53--> 00:24:55

we have to remain committed to Allah

00:24:56--> 00:24:58

We have shown to Allah

00:24:58--> 00:25:00

that we can wake up at night.

00:25:00--> 00:25:03

We have shown Allah that, yes, we can

00:25:03--> 00:25:05

increase our taqwa. Yes, we have shown Allah

00:25:05--> 00:25:08

subhanahu wa ta'ala that we can connect with

00:25:08--> 00:25:09

the Quran.

00:25:09--> 00:25:12

So when Allah stands us Makes us stand

00:25:12--> 00:25:13

before him on the day of judgement.

00:25:14--> 00:25:16

And if you and I are thinking of

00:25:16--> 00:25:19

making an excuse before Allah, that, you Allah,

00:25:19--> 00:25:21

I'm weak. Ramadan showed us that we are

00:25:21--> 00:25:24

not weak. We have the stamina, and we

00:25:24--> 00:25:25

have the capacity

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

to increase our spirituality.

00:25:28--> 00:25:30

Brothers and sisters, one of the best ways

00:25:30--> 00:25:32

we can show our gratitude

00:25:32--> 00:25:34

to Allah When Allah says,

00:25:36--> 00:25:38

1 of the best ways to show our

00:25:38--> 00:25:41

gratitude to Allah is to follow exactly what

00:25:41--> 00:25:43

Allah wants us to do, and we do

00:25:43--> 00:25:44

it in the way of the prophet

00:25:46--> 00:25:48

Brothers and sisters, a way to show our

00:25:48--> 00:25:49

gratitude

00:25:49--> 00:25:52

is by pleasing Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:25:52--> 00:25:54

Seeking with what Allah wants us to do.

00:25:54--> 00:25:57

Brothers and sisters, just because Eid comes, it

00:25:57--> 00:25:59

does not mean that we break all those

00:25:59--> 00:26:01

spiritual barriers. We have working We have worked

00:26:01--> 00:26:04

so hard for 30 days. Let's keep that

00:26:04--> 00:26:06

going. And this is why, subhanAllah,

00:26:07--> 00:26:09

how is it possible that when Allah says

00:26:09--> 00:26:12

in the Quran that you fast, and fasting

00:26:12--> 00:26:13

in itself, whether it's Ramadan

00:26:14--> 00:26:16

or any other time of the year. When

00:26:16--> 00:26:18

you fast, when we fast, it develops our

00:26:18--> 00:26:19

taqwa.

00:26:19--> 00:26:21

The way we can develop and maintain that

00:26:21--> 00:26:22

taqwa

00:26:22--> 00:26:23

throughout the entire year,

00:26:24--> 00:26:26

is by fasting the other days. When we

00:26:26--> 00:26:29

have Mondays Thursdays. When we have 13th,

00:26:29--> 00:26:32

and 14th, and 15th of every single month.

00:26:32--> 00:26:34

And if we're doing this throughout the entire

00:26:34--> 00:26:37

year, insha'Allah, our taqwa will remain at a

00:26:37--> 00:26:39

high level. But if we drop everything,

00:26:40--> 00:26:42

and we stop coming to the masjid, then

00:26:42--> 00:26:45

I ask myself and you ask yourself that

00:26:45--> 00:26:46

what face are we going to show to

00:26:46--> 00:26:48

Allah on the day of judgment?

00:26:48--> 00:26:50

What are we showing to Allah

00:26:51--> 00:26:53

That I'm going to be committed to Allah

00:26:53--> 00:26:55

only for a certain period of time, and

00:26:55--> 00:26:57

then after that, I will forget about Allah

00:26:57--> 00:27:00

Subhanahu wa ta'ala. No, brothers and sisters, we

00:27:00--> 00:27:03

show Allah. Let's show Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:27:03--> 00:27:05

that, You Allah, You gave me this from

00:27:05--> 00:27:07

Avan, and I'm gonna change my life, and

00:27:07--> 00:27:10

I'm gonna remain committed to You. Brothers and

00:27:10--> 00:27:13

sisters, wallahi, none of us here, including myself,

00:27:13--> 00:27:14

can give the guarantee that we are going

00:27:14--> 00:27:16

to be here next year. None of us

00:27:16--> 00:27:18

can guarantee that we will witness another month

00:27:18--> 00:27:21

of Ramadan, and that is why we find

00:27:21--> 00:27:23

from the sahaba, we find from the ulama,

00:27:23--> 00:27:25

that 6 months after Ramadan,

00:27:26--> 00:27:28

they will continuously ask Allah for istighfar.

00:27:29--> 00:27:32

They will continuously ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:27:32--> 00:27:34

for another Ramavan. So this is why brothers

00:27:34--> 00:27:36

and sisters, this is our way of showing

00:27:36--> 00:27:39

gratitude to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Otherwise, Allah

00:27:39--> 00:27:40

says,

00:27:42--> 00:27:45

If we show our gratitude, Allah will increase.

00:27:45--> 00:27:47

But if we show our ingratitude,

00:27:47--> 00:27:49

and we show our lack of gratitude to

00:27:49--> 00:27:51

Allah, then Allah says,

00:27:52--> 00:27:55

Allah may even take away another mother another

00:27:55--> 00:27:56

Ramavans. May Allah

00:27:57--> 00:27:59

keep us alive for another Ramavans. And may

00:27:59--> 00:28:00

Allah

00:28:00--> 00:28:03

give us a tawfiq to witness another Ramadan.

00:28:03--> 00:28:04

Ameerabaalalamin.

00:28:05--> 00:28:07

And may Allah not deprive us from another

00:28:07--> 00:28:09

Ramadan due to our negligence and our and

00:28:09--> 00:28:10

our shortcomings.

00:28:34--> 00:28:36

Brothers and sisters, this is the day of

00:28:36--> 00:28:37

Eid.

00:28:37--> 00:28:40

The day where we put aside our grudges.

00:28:40--> 00:28:42

Reach out to your family members.

00:28:42--> 00:28:45

The person who puts aside their egos.

00:28:49--> 00:28:51

This is such an amazing reward that Allah

00:28:51--> 00:28:54

gives to this person, that only Allah knows

00:28:54--> 00:28:56

how much that reward is. Allah has not

00:28:56--> 00:28:58

mentioned that in the Quran. Allah The prophet

00:28:58--> 00:28:59

alayhi wasalam has not mentioned it in the

00:28:59--> 00:29:02

sunnah in his sunnah. So this means that

00:29:02--> 00:29:04

there is such an amazing reward that Allah

00:29:04--> 00:29:06

gives to that person who puts aside their

00:29:06--> 00:29:09

ego, and reaches out to their family member.

00:29:09--> 00:29:11

And yes, it is our job to reach

00:29:11--> 00:29:13

out to our family member, those that we

00:29:13--> 00:29:15

may not be talking to. But if they

00:29:15--> 00:29:17

turn us away, at least I can show

00:29:17--> 00:29:20

Allah that, You Allah, whatever you have taught

00:29:20--> 00:29:22

me, whatever your Prophet has taught me, I

00:29:22--> 00:29:24

have done that. Brothers and sisters, I will

00:29:24--> 00:29:25

finish on this.

00:29:25--> 00:29:27

That if we know any converts in our

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

community, they may not know They may not

00:29:29--> 00:29:31

have anywhere to go. Bring them to your

00:29:31--> 00:29:33

home if you have a really good relationship

00:29:33--> 00:29:35

with them. There are so many people in

00:29:35--> 00:29:38

our community who are separated from their families.

00:29:38--> 00:29:39

Bring them to your bring them to your

00:29:39--> 00:29:41

home on the day of Eid. And finally,

00:29:41--> 00:29:42

brothers and sisters,

00:29:43--> 00:29:45

while we are here and so happy with

00:29:45--> 00:29:46

our families,

00:29:46--> 00:29:48

Wallahi, our hearts bleed

00:29:48--> 00:29:50

when we hear about huzzah.

00:29:50--> 00:29:52

Our hearts bleed when we hear about Palestine.

00:29:53--> 00:29:55

And we ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to

00:29:55--> 00:29:57

aid our brothers and sisters in Palestine. Seen.

00:29:57--> 00:29:59

And we ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to

00:29:59--> 00:30:01

bring such a punishment on the waleen.

00:30:02--> 00:30:04

When they show no mercy to our mothers,

00:30:04--> 00:30:07

and our fathers, and our children, then we

00:30:07--> 00:30:08

ask Allah to not show them any kind

00:30:08--> 00:30:10

of mercy. May Allah give them the worst

00:30:10--> 00:30:12

punishment in the history of mankind. We ask

00:30:12--> 00:30:15

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to aid our brothers

00:30:15--> 00:30:17

and sisters in Gaza, and aid our brothers

00:30:17--> 00:30:19

and sisters in Sudan, and in Somalia, and

00:30:19--> 00:30:22

in Africa, wherever they are oppressed. And we

00:30:22--> 00:30:24

ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to aid our

00:30:24--> 00:30:26

brothers and sisters in Russia, in France, in

00:30:26--> 00:30:27

Burma,

00:30:27--> 00:30:30

in in in Kashmir. And wherever Muslims are

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

oppressed, we ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to

00:30:33--> 00:30:35

send his aid upon them. Brothers and sisters,

00:30:35--> 00:30:37

let us not forget our brothers and sisters.

00:30:38--> 00:30:40

Today on the this day of Eid, there

00:30:40--> 00:30:42

are many people who have lost their family

00:30:42--> 00:30:43

members.

00:30:43--> 00:30:45

And this day of Eid is gonna be

00:30:45--> 00:30:45

tainted.

00:30:46--> 00:30:48

That there is one less person in their

00:30:48--> 00:30:48

family.

00:30:48--> 00:30:51

Brothers and sisters, our brothers and sisters in

00:30:51--> 00:30:53

gazza. They have not lost one person in

00:30:53--> 00:30:55

their family. In some cases they have lost

00:30:55--> 00:30:59

20, 50, or even a 100 people, subhanAllah,

00:30:59--> 00:31:01

in their families. So let's keep them in

00:31:01--> 00:31:03

our duas, and let's keep them in our

00:31:03--> 00:31:05

hearts, and let's not forget our brothers and

00:31:05--> 00:31:05

sisters.

00:31:05--> 00:31:08

Eid is a global phenomenon for all the

00:31:08--> 00:31:08

Muslims.

00:31:08--> 00:31:11

We as Muslims, we don't only worry about

00:31:11--> 00:31:13

ourselves, but we worry about the entire ummah

00:31:13--> 00:31:15

of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. May

00:31:15--> 00:31:17

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala accept our qiyam. May

00:31:17--> 00:31:20

Allah accept our siyam. May Allah grant us

00:31:20--> 00:31:23

another Ramadan. May Allah accept our istighfar in

00:31:23--> 00:31:25

the month of Ramadan. We ask Allah subhanahu

00:31:25--> 00:31:28

wa ta'ala to continuously grant us tawfiq to

00:31:28--> 00:31:30

keep on coming to the masjid, to remain

00:31:30--> 00:31:32

committed to the Quran, to remain committed to

00:31:32--> 00:31:34

qiyam. And may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bring

00:31:34--> 00:31:36

us closer to Him.

00:31:41--> 00:31:43

Allah We ask Allah for His love.

00:31:46--> 00:31:48

And the love of those who love Allah

00:31:48--> 00:31:50

Subhanahu wa ta'ala. We ask Allah Subhanahu wa

00:31:50--> 00:31:52

ta'ala to keep us close to Him. And

00:31:52--> 00:31:54
