Omar Suleiman – It Actually Starts With Tahajjud Khutbah By Dr.

			We begin by praising Allah Subhana Allah to Allah and bearing witness that none has the right to be
worshipped or unconditionally obeyed except for him. And we bear witness that Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi wa Salam is his final messenger. We ask Allah to send 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 busted path until the day of judgment, and we ask Allah to make us
amongst them Allahumma I mean, your brothers and sisters, typically when we talk about the effect
that we are having on the rest of the Ummah, there is this sense of introspection that's lacking,
		

			what role Am I playing at the spiritual level when it comes to everyone else. And so you can talk
about the role of sins and bringing about burden. Or you could talk about the role of duet and
bringing about relief. But Subhanallah there's a very specific act of worship that distinguishes us,
from everyone else. And many people would think that this act of worship is for the small group of
people. It's for the elderly. It's for the small group of friends of Allah subhanaw taala, that not
many people can do. And some would even say that it's unwise to even talk about this act of worship,
when people are struggling with the bare minimum. So someone might say, why would you talk about pm
		

			and Lille? Why would you talk about the night prayer when most Muslims are struggling to even pray
five times a day. And I'm going to tell you exactly why and why it's so important in this moment. If
a person is not praying five times a day, then it could be that they are a source of sin upon this
ummah. But if a person wants to be a source of strength for this ummah, then that's where pm comes
in. That's number one. Number two, it could be that in that night prayer that Allah subhanaw taala
provokes in you a sweetness in your talking to him in your relationship with him. In those moments
of being alone that actually transforms the quality of your five Salawat. If you learn to enjoy your
		

			Pm, if you learn to enjoy to rock as at night, that can actually transform all five of your prayers
during the day. Because you actually would have had some meaning in it and you're not thinking about
everything that has to come and everything that you have to do in the NASA to lelee here I shall do
walk on water Aqua Maquila Allah azza wa jal tells the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, that
Verily the night and in the night, it is a time where you can develop greater strength, and you're
less distracted, because in Melaka, fitna, howdy subhanho, wa ala, there's so much that you have to
do during the day. And so the quality that you gained from to rock as at night can transform five
		

			prayers of the day. But there's something else that I really want us to get to. And I say this, by
the way, subhanAllah, that this is something that we should all aspire to starting with myself. This
is a deed that we should struggle with. And this is a deed that I am struggling with. And this is a
deed that I hope all of us will struggle with Bismillahi tan that in this moment in particular,
there is nothing that can build us for the moment like pm as individuals and as societies. There is
nothing that can give us victory over those who oppress us, like this particular act of worship. And
I want to take you back to the moment that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam comes to Medina,
		

			and he gives his inauguration speech. And you've all heard this many times, but I want you to pay
attention to the only thing that differentiates the speech, or the main thing that differentiates
the speech from anything that anyone had ever heard before. Or you heard us he gathers all the
people, the Muslims, the Jews of Medina, the polytheists of Medina, the people that maybe the few
Christians in Medina, people of all different backgrounds and faiths, right? They're coming around
here what this man is going to say sallallahu alayhi wa salam in Medina, when he finally has a
platform, he can finally speak because in Mecca, they didn't allow him to speak in public.
		

			SallAllahu it was somebody persecuted him. I mean, salatu salam in his own home, au Hannahs Oh,
people of Shia salaam spread peace. Now, if you're not Muslim, you can appreciate spread peace of
Salaam and of course we have the specific greeting as salam or Aleikum. But it's more than that,
because so many Muslims say As salam or Aleikum, but they intend everything else with except for
Salam when they give it to you. They say As salam o alaikum peace beyond to you but everything under
the words of Salam is not Salam right so salam ala and econ is an intention towards your brother as
well as said Mr. Aiken peace beyond to you and intention from Sister to Sister as well As salam o
		

			alaikum. Peace be unto epsilon spread peace not just with your words, but with everything else. All
right, if I'm if I'm someone who's hearing the prophets, like some for the first time, I've heard
something like that before. I'll tell you more Quran feed the port
		

			Beautiful. Salem is what Jesus peace be upon him used to say in the Bible right even now peace
beyond to you. This is the greeting of the prophets as Santa Monica. feed the poor, we can find this
noble trait in multiple ways of life. Of course we want to excel with it and we have a different
push towards, but feed the people and especially the poor.
		

			And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, while seated or hum and connect your families
establish the ties of kinship. This is a beautiful trait, a beautiful quality that has a universal
manifestation. Then he says sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was suddenly the lady when Estonia
		

			pray at night while other people are sleeping. Stand up and pray at night when everybody else goes
to sleep. To the huddle Jana to be Salam. You'll enter paradise in peace. This is different. It's
Pamela and the narration of Abdullah I'm gonna ask Colleen salatu salam with Rama worship Allah man
who is a woman never heard about Ramadan before the Most Merciful worship of Ramadan and epsilon
delta mataram, and so on so forth, spread peace and feed the people. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam is saying that the way this society is going to be established and distinguish itself, the
secret ingredient beyond what we already know of the good things that Allah has put in us to
		

			naturally inclined towards the secret ingredient is going to be that those same people that are
spreading peace, those same people that are feeding the poor, those same people that are working,
are not making an excuse for themselves, to not fight with their bodies, and stand up to replenish
their souls at night. This is what's going to be your secret ingredient to building this society,
oh, unsalted in a way that no one has ever built a society before. This is where it's going to come
down to the characters that build the culture of Medina or soluable. Lady when Estonia tetrahedral
Jana B salaam, a very specific group of people stand up and pray at night when other people go to
		

			sleep Subhanallah there's a connection here. The first address in Medina that the Prophet salallahu
Salam gives to the people is stand up and pray at night. And the first address that Allah gives to
the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam in Makkah, in his most devastating times when he's alone in
society is yeah, you are Muslim men call me Leila. Illa kalila of the first words, Oh, you who was
wrapped up, stand up at night and pray except for a little bit. Push yourself oh Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, because in Medina, you need to build a society. But in Mecca, you need to build a
character, you need to build a certain type of spiritual resilience that's going to allow you to
		

			deal with oppression. In Mecca, you have to resist the society that wants you to be something you're
not in Medina, you have to build a society that no one has ever seen before. And the secret
ingredient of both of those is going to be your willingness to stand up and pray at night. Because
you're going to nurture something in those moments that no one else can nurture. You're going to
kindle a fire in your heart in those moments, that no one else knows what it's like to Kindle, but
you have to be willing to put in that sacrifice before Allah subhanaw taala made the five prayers
obligatory. He made the MLL obligatory on the prophets of Allah on Islam, he made the night prayer
		

			obligatory on the prophets lie some and the believers by extension, then once Allah revealed the
five obligatory prayers, then the second part of animism mill was revealed as a shuttle the Allahu
Anhu said, which turned it into a voluntary prayer. So you won't you will not be punished on the Day
of Judgment, for not praying, damned if it's not obligatory. And I want to make that very clear. But
in this moment, subhanAllah you want to build yourself as an individual, you want to build a
society, it's the secret ingredient, it's the secret ingredient of victory. When Allah subhanaw
taala talks about the Battle of bedroom when the Muslims were outnumbered by those who had no good
		

			intentions towards them and wanting to do all sorts of things towards them. Allah subhanaw taala
does not attribute the victory that came to them through the archers or the way that the prophesy
son was able to develop a scheme where he could deal with, you know, this genocidal group of people
that outnumbered him. Allah Subhana Allah says is tested he threw in a rock back home faster job at
the victory came last night when you were in the temps. And you were making your art to Allah
subhanaw taala you were supplicating your Lord is testily through and Allah confessed the diabolical
that's when Allah answered you. When you were in the tent the night before. It wasn't what you put
		

			together the date of it was the night before. And we know the famous story of Salahuddin at a UB
Rahim Allah when he was dealing with the Crusaders trying to retake Jerusalem from the Crusader
		

			What does he do and how clean? He goes through the tents? Not yet? Not yet, not yet. But when he
sees the lights on in the tents, now we're ready.
		

			When he sees that these people who are dealing with the brutal conditions of war against the
Crusaders of all people who have seen horrors that none of us can even imagine, even in this time,
		

			and he goes around and he sees them by themselves, waking up and praying at night. Now it's there.
Now that ingredient is there, in our personal lives, do not is an arrow dua is a connection between
you and Allah subhanaw taala over those who commit violence against you.
		

			And on a community level due out is an arrow that we have against those who oppress our ummah. It is
a connection from us to Allah subhanaw taala. It is the secret ingredient, it is the distinguishing
factor. Now again, someone is like, I can barely pray five times a day.
		

			I'm struggling with budget. I'm struggling with Aisha, I'm struggling with Asana in the middle of my
workday. Why are you giving a hoot about TM? The brothers and sisters, we've all adjusted ourselves
in these last few months in some way, I guarantee you that your social media usage has probably gone
up right as you're as you're consumed by what's happening, I guarantee you that your thoughts have
shifted, I guarantee you that your emotions have shifted, your priorities have shifted, your
perspectives have shifted. What better time than for all of us to say you know what, I'm going to
take on this habit once a week, twice a week.
		

			And if I taste the sweetness of it, it might inject the sweetness that I needed in my salah. And it
might give us the victory that we need over ourselves and then over those that oppress us. Because
if you win that battle grounds, then you can win any battle. And if you gain that peace than the
Jana is in your heart before you attain any likeness of Jana in this world, or Jenna in the
Hereafter, but it takes a sacrifice. And I know all of us right now are thinking about the ways that
we can help and there is nothing like that can help. And there is nothing like there are in the last
third of the night that can help. And that comes from you as an individual. Build the individual in
		

			Mecca, build the society and Medina think about better think about her clean, go back to yourself
and say you know what, even if I'm struggling with my five daily prayers, I'm going to struggle with
one night a week, two nights a week. And then you're not just only not a source of sin to the OMA,
you're actually a source of strength to the OMA as well. May Allah subhanaw taala give us all the
ability to stand up and pray at night. And may He inject sweetness into all of our prayers. And may
He put success in the prayers that we make and may He allow our prayers to be a source of comfort
and security and victory and goodness to us and to the world around us to our OMA and Reza to our
