Omar Suleiman – Fear of Missing Out on Good Deals or Deeds

			Lots of stand his peace and blessings upon him the prophets and messengers that came before him, his
family and companions that served alongside him and those that follow in his blessed path until the
day of judgment we ask Allah to make us amongst them, Allah him. I mean, the brothers and sisters,
this is not your typical Black Friday and it's certainly not the Juma that we typically would
anticipate. And subhanAllah as we usually every year, are accustomed to the long lines that are
outside of the doors of stores for hours and hours before the morning of Friday even comes in and we
don't see that same type of enthusiasm for the masjid for salatu. Juma it's a time for us to
		

			reflect. But I wanted to reflect on it precisely in a way that we can first appreciate the context
of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam and his companions, you find where the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam spoke about the importance of coming to Juma early a blessing that we don't
necessarily have right now because of our restrictions with the Masjid. But there's a direct
correlation in the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam to how early you come to Joomla
to how large your reward is. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam contrasts the reward from
the first hour of Joomla all the way until Joomla until it becomes a small reward but of course, the
		

			reward is always great in the sight of Allah subhanaw taala for those who answer the call, and
Salatin Fudger in gemera on Friday is the best prayer of the week as it has been reported by the
prophets lie some authentically so it's really from February up until Juma there is the spectrum of
how much reward is a weight available to a person. And the way that that correlates to the
historical context of the profit slice I'm in his companions is that you have a choice to make, how
early you're going to shut down your store and make your way to the masjid and so if you have the
reward of the third hour before drummer the second hour before drummer the first hour before drummer
		

			there's a direct correlation to how many hours in the soup in the marketplace that you're going to
miss out on. And that's why in the end of sort of Jumeirah, Allah Subhana Allah to Allah says,
either knew the other side, he may younger Juma Antifa either the gorilla well was our all day daddy
come Heinola come in Quinton Tana Moon for either Pouliot is Salah to fantasy roofing out of the
water woman for the law was Quran Allah Kathira Allah Allah come to flee Haroon what either or OT
Jarrah 10, l one and ThoughtBot in a water a cool car in Kelowna and hola Hiram in Illuminati
Jarrah. Wala hohiro was the thing, it's actually the only mention of Joomla in the Quran. And
		

			connected to the only mention of Joomla in the Quran is the leaving off of the things that hold you
back from the remembrance of Allah subhanaw taala. And so when the call of the Friday prayer is
made, rush, come with anticipation to the remembrance of Allah and leave off your trade without obey
that is better for you, if only you knew and Allah subhanaw taala says, Once Juma is done, go back
to what you are doing. And continue to remember Allah subhanho wa Taala and that is best for you.
That you may succeed in this life and the next. And Allah azza wa jal gives us this contrast, where
a person sees a trade a deal, and a person sees what they're being called to in the Friday prayer of
		

			oredo. The Allahu Taala Anhu. One time he went to the marketplace and he said, rushed to the masjid
because the inheritance of the prophets lie some as being distributed. So what did everyone do? They
closed up their shops, they ran to the masjid. They looked around, what did they find a bunch of
helpers, a bunch of lectures in different ways and circles of remembrance and knowledge. They said,
Oh, Hodeidah, what are you doing? Like what was that? Are you playing a trick on us? And he said,
What did you find when you went to the masjid? And they said, We found all these heritors And he
said, That's the inheritance of the prophets lie Selim. Knowledge is the inheritance of the Prophet
		

			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Obviously, again, we don't have ideal circumstances right now. But
these are lifelong messages that have implications beyond the day of Friday, and speak more about
what our hearts are inclined towards, and when we are satisfied with a good deal versus a good deed,
And subhanAllah last week, we talked about the Hadith of the two men, that Allah subhanaw taala
laughs set as they enter into paradise, one murder the other both of them entered into paradise as a
result of repentance. And in fact, the Hadith before that, we have a sleight of hand it's been a
while since we've read, and by the Toba in the book of repentance is the head
		

			disadvantages of nomadic are the Allahu Turner and who were the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
said lo Anna leave me Adam Awadhi and in the hub, a hub and near Cornella who were the end, if the
child of Adam had a valley of gold, he would not be satisfied. And another narration laptop hobby he
Sonya, he used that value of gold, to try to turn it over for two valleys of gold. How can I turn
this valley into two valleys? He wouldn't say it hamdulillah for the value of gold. He'd say how do
I make this two valleys of gold. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said well, and he Embla
Ha hoo Illa to rub wire tube Allahu Allah Mantap. And nothing would fill his appetite fill his mouth
		

			except for dust. And Allah forgives him who repents to him. Meaning that he's going to keep on
pursuing more and more more and more more and be in the rat race of this world of materialism, of
addiction to consumption and trying to get more and more and more and more and more. And eventually
what happens during the mouth, you die. And none of it goes with you to the hereafter. Now
Subhanallah I was thinking about this hadith. And I never had really made the connection between
this hadith and a hadith of Ibn Amarante Allah Tada Anioma a narration about binominal the Allahu
Anhu until we actually prayed Janaza, just two days ago. And there is a janazah, tomorrow and
		

			SubhanAllah. We live in an era of many of these funerals. And many of these Jeanette has many of
these funerals. And a lot of times the size of the janazah correlates with how well known the person
was, which is a problem. Because it shouldn't be the reward should be the honoring of your brother
or sister and the reward that is present in the janazah not whether you knew the person or not. Now
obviously, if the person you know is well known that it's going to lead to large geneticin Those are
good signs within the heater.
		

			Sometimes, however, a person does not have a large janazah not because they're they're not
righteous, no stuck for Allah. They're just they don't have as large of a social network. They're
not as well known in a locality, they moved here, they moved there. These are natural things that we
see. And sometimes you see the people piling on top of each other to be able to bury a person. And
sometimes you see that you can't find enough people to go and to fulfill just the basic rights of a
person at the time of their burial.
		

			And subhanAllah I was thinking about this narration and how it connects to the narration about one
value of gold. So pay attention. The prophets like Sam said, the child of Adam gets the value of
gold. He says, How do I make this two? He gets two? How do I make the street and he's not satisfied?
Always wants more and more and more and more and how can we take Catholic hat as ultimate McCobb
more and more and more and more until death. When you're in the grave. It's no more. But this hadith
is really interesting. Picture the scene with me for a moment. I'm the love no matter what the
Allahu Anhu Omar is sitting in the masjid. And he hears this narration that abodo The Allah Tala and
		

			who narrates that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Men Shahida Janaza Hattah your Salah
and a fella who tear up one and Shahida had to defend a fella who to draw upon the profit slice and
I'm said that whoever attends the janazah will have a mountain of effort. The likes of overhead if
you've ever seen or heard, it's not like one mountains this humongous mountain.
		

			And a playwright is like a like Mount Hood of good deeds. Imagine that the whole of a herd in good
deeds. And then he said sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, whoever follows the janazah had tattooed until
it is buried then he has to Pirot to have a herd and good deeds
		

			have been honorable the Allahu Anhu
		

			who used to try to follow the Sunnah of the Prophet slice them literally to the footstep, would try
to step where he saw the prophets lie some steps and would not like to miss a single sunnah of the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. May Allah grant us all that love of the Sunnah. And of our
messenger ad his thought was not that even Omar Radi Allahu Anhu Mahat Allahumma Amin, he hears this
and he's never heard it before. And he was a man that used to go out and pray the janazah and he
wouldn't follow the janazah to the graveyard as a habit. It's not that he was intentionally
neglecting it but he was not diligent or he was not ambitious and trying to make sure that he always
		

			followed the janazah to the book here he'd come out he prayed and then he'd go back to his home. So
when he heard that he sent a young man to it shall have the Allahu and he said I want you to go ask
her if this is true.
		

			And the narration of phenomenal the Allahu Anhu that is that he was sitting in the muscles of the
Prophet slice Allah and he was moving the dirt through his hands.
		

			nervously he's anxious. What is he anxious over? Have I missed out on something? Have I been missing
out on these mountains of good deeds these all of these years? And he's moving the rocks through his
hands nervously waiting to hear back. The young man comes back. And he says to him, What did he say
about the Allahu anha say? He says that she said sadhaka Abu Huraira Abu Hurayrah has told the truth
indeed the prophets lie Selim said, Whoever prays the janazah will have one Pilat one mountain of
doing good deeds and whoever follows it until it is buried. We'll have the likes of two mountains of
boyhood and good deeds. ibn Umar Radi Allahu Anhu. He threw the rocks out of his hand out of anger.
		

			Anger at who at the man at Artesia? No.
		

			He said look up by Jana karate, or Kathy or how many mountains of good deeds did I waste? How many
mountains of good deeds did I lose out on? How many times could I have turned it into two karate it
too good to mountains of a herd of good and I missed out Subhan Allah the difference between the
mindset that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam mentioned of the typical child of Adam who
tries to turn a valley of gold into two valleys of gold, and the mindset of Abdullah Muhammad Radi
Allahu Anhu Ma, who is upset that this whole time he's only been getting one mountain of good when
he praised the salata, janazah and he never missed going out to the burial again, after that moment.
		

			That's a mindset. How many opportunities have I missed out on? How many times was there something in
front of me that I could have done good, that I could have boxed someone else, to be the one to rise
to the occasion to be the first one to give that charity to be the first one to open that door to be
the first one to pick up that trash? To be the one to do that vicar to be the one to call the other
than to be the one to do this and to be the one to do that? How many times that I dragged my feet
towards good but I run like a madman towards dunya This is the difference between the two. May Allah
subhanho wa Taala not allow us to miss out on the Quran read on the good deeds on all of the
		

			mountains of good that he has put before us may Allah subhana wa Tada allow us to use every
opportunity that he puts before us for good. May Allah subhana wa Tada allow our hearts, our minds,
our thoughts, our deeds to always be inclined towards his pleasure. So that whether it is a form of
remembrance or a charity or a good deed, or a janazah or whatever it is that we are always amongst
those who rise first, to please Allah subhanho wa Taala and may Allah forgive us for our
shortcomings. Allahumma Amin Akula Kalia that was stopped a lot he will accompany satin and
Muslimeen for stuff you know in a hole for working.
