I'm about to begin by praising Allah subhanaw taala by bearing witness that nun has the right to be worshipped or unconditionally obeyed except for him. We thank him for the infinite blessings that he's bestowed upon us and the mercy that he showers us with inside and outside of Ramadan. And we thank him for sending his messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, as a mercy to all worlds we bear witness that he is the last messenger of Allah. And we ask Allah to send his peace and blessings upon him, his family, his companions, and those that follow until the day of judgment and we ask Allah to make us amongst them, Allahu Amin, dear brothers and sisters, I remember an incident
in hajj,
where there was a man that was completely normal throughout the entire journey, very composed, very happy, serving everybody, and no one really knew his story. And subhanAllah throughout Medina, just full of joy, full of happiness. And he was alone the entire time. He didn't come with his family, just a wonderful, beautiful, calm brother. But despite as much as he was giving of himself, in terms of service, he never really interacted with anyone at a deep level so that anyone would know what his story was. And I remember Subhanallah
on the day of alpha,
when he was sitting there, and I began to give the hutzpah suddenly that smile, turned into an immense amount of tears, and sobbing, and regret.
And I saw him cry the entire day of out of every time I got up. Every time I looked at him, every time I saw him, he was in tears.
And I just had to know what it was that
that struck him and those moments because it was such a change in his character. I'd seen him in the Muslim Medina, you know, when we did Ramadan together, he was one of the people that was helping me guide the group, and Subhanallah what was it that day that caused him to sob the entire day? And so it was Daddy for I went up to him. And I told him, I said, are you okay? And he tried to muster a few words, and then he started crying again. And so I left him alone. And I just said, you know, may Allah forgive you. It's a season of forgiveness. Look where you are, you're in one study for whatever it is that you're crying about hamdulillah you're here, and he sobbed more. And he just
said one sentence. And I still never got beyond that. He said, If not now than when,
if not now than one. That was all he said. And I left him alone. And then from the next day onwards to the rest of hedge, he was back to his old self. And I just couldn't stop thinking about that sentence. If not now then when? That was his response, if not now than one. And that's a question that Allah subhanaw taala asks us in the Quran, LM yet needed Lavina Amina and Tasha khulumani decorilla He woman acid amino cap, isn't it time for those who believe to soften their hearts to be humbled by the remembrance of Allah subhanaw taala and the truth which he has revealed? And even Cathy Rahim, Allah says about that that verse, that in its beauty, it is open and unrestricted,
because it's a question that every single time you read the ayah you actually you're supposed to ask yourself, you know, when you interact with the Quran, and there are certain ayat that the prophets lie some would respond with Bella. Yes. As if the Quran was asking him a question every single time. He was reading that if LM yet needed Lavina Amnon toughsonic, khulumani Vickery, la humanas La Mina happ, isn't it time? And you're supposed to say, yes, not as a matter of ritual. But as a matter of affirmation. Yes, now it's time. And no matter how much my heart has been humbled by the remembrance of Allah subhanaw taala. It's time that it gets humbled a little bit more. And even if I've gotten
over some of my shortcomings, and since it's time that I start to approach those sins in those shortcomings that maybe I haven't even started to recognize. And if I become a little bit more grateful for this set of blessings, maybe it's time I expand that gratitude, and I start to become grateful for another set of blessings that I never even thanked ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada for in the first place, isn't it time, if not, now, then when all of this I want to start just to share so that we properly understand a hadith that you probably have heard in the month of Ramadan. And if you haven't heard in the month of Ramadan, you've probably heard it before the month of Ramadan, but a
very common Hadith that has major implications.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam enters into the masjid
and the narrator of the Hadith, and there are multiple narrators of the Hadith anisopliae lontana and one of them says that the companions were sitting in the mud
As you can see him a player, as if they had birds on their heads, pigeons on their heads completely still waiting for that instruction from the Prophet sallallahu wasallam. And the prophets I said, um, takes one step on the member and says Amin,
and then he takes another step on the member, and he says Amin,
and then the prophets lie. Selim takes the third step forward, and he says Amin,
and the companions were surprised. Why was the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam saying, I mean, what do I did he hear what did he make? What was it that caused the Prophet sallallahu Aarnio set them to say mean? So after some time, they asked the Prophet salallahu assembly. So the Autosport Allah.
Who's doing that? Were you were you affirming with your Amin? And he said that Djibouti and Annie has Salam came down. And Djibouti Rouhani has Salam made the following three droughts, debris and it has Salam said Rahima ANFO, may he be humiliated.
And he gives three different things. The first person Rajat indica and he Ramadan Suman, Salah for copula and your for Allah who a person upon whom Ramadan entered, and Ramadan left without him being forgive him. And then he continues, and he says, Where are we might unfold? And may He be humiliated?
Man, the character in the home whoever I was mentioned the prophets lie some is now narrating in his person, whom I am mentioned in his presence while I'm usefully Alia and he does not send Salawat upon me sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he doesn't send the peace and blessings of Allah subhanaw taala or invoke the peace and blessings of Allah subhanho wa Taala upon me, and he said what Rahim Amphoe Raju an edge rocker in the whoever wa holy Kibera, Salaam eautifully. Rahul, Jana
and may He be humiliated, a person who live long enough to see his parents reach old age, in his own lifetime, and he does not enter Jannah through those two parents.
And the Prophet sighs and I'm sad so I said, mean, mean, mean? In one narration Djibouti and Sudan said another hula May Allah distance him is Pamela very scary. There's so much about this hadith by the way, just the fact that the Prophet SAW Salem is the one who came to as Rama as a mercy in the member is to Rama. He was sent as a Rama as a mercy He doesn't curse people SallAllahu it was set up and the prophets lie Selim was sung Aziz en la Hema and interim Hari sunnah. Alikum miniatura ofin Rahim. Particularly the prophets like Selim was empathetic and the prophets lie Selim was merciful and with the believers in particular, he has a special type of love and compassion and mercy. And
Djibouti and he his Salam is the one who brought that revelation to the Prophet SAW Selim as a mercy to each and every single one of us. The idea that Jibreel and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would be making dua against a person is terrifying. It's absolutely terrifying. May Allah subhanaw taala not make us amongst any one of those three Allahumma? I mean, but what is it about those three things? And what are the common factors and elements of those three things? I'm not going to go into the details of each one. I want us to identify the qualities that are found in a person who could fall into one of these three traps. Any mom had? No I am Rahim Allah to Allah Azza.
The Iblees his greatest sin is pride is Kibera. And his greatest tool is procrastination. His greatest sin is Kibera. The greatest sin of bliss is Kibera. And the worst thing that you could inherit from the devil is pride is kibin. But his greatest tool is procrastination, if not now than when? Okay, how do we take those two things together? There is something that would be found in each one of these three people. Either they are extremely stingy or prideful,
so stingy and prideful because the prophets lie some said at Sedona, Manitoba. Hey, do you know who the stingy person is? It's the person who the prophets lie some has mentioned in his presence and he doesn't even son Salawat. So a person is stingy, arrogant, prideful, so he contains some of those very qualities of bliss, or he's fallen victim to the tool of a bliss of procrastination. So he doesn't necessarily have those horrible qualities that have Bliss has but because he is procrastinating in making his changes in his life, in regards to how he approaches Allah, how he approaches the messengers of Allah, Islam and how he approaches his parents,
then he is likely to develop those very cool
qualities of the one who used the tool of procrastination on him. How do we reckon with that? Let's leave Ramadan to the last even though it's mentioned first in the Hadith. Let's leave Ramadan to the last of these three, the one who the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has mentioned in his presence and he does not even bother to send Salawat he doesn't even show that gratitude to pray upon him. The Prophet sighs and I'm sad, man is good and NAS la escuela whoever is not grateful to the people is not grateful to Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, you have a man here who bled for you who lost his own family for you, who gave up his own peace and tranquility, so that you could receive
the message of peace and tranquility, who had complete sleep sleepless nights, who had to bury his wife and six of his kids in the process of this mission, who had to face isolation and rejection like no other person who sacrificed all of the comforts and who shed tears for you, even though he never met you and he never even heard about you. It's hard for us to love the prophets lie some sometimes because we've never seen him right. But you can read everything about him and you know everything about him enough to make you fall in love with him. He didn't even know who you were. He doesn't know your life story. But he cried for you. And he made you out for you. And he loved you.
And he he called you his brothers and sisters and companions and beloved ones, if Lonnie Dobie us, Harvey,
those people that believe in me and they've never even seen me. And he longed for the moment that he would meet each and every single one of his members of his ummah.
So he gave up quite a bit for you. And he showed quite a bit of love for you. Where would we be without him? sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, not in this Masjid right now,
not with the purpose that we have. Not with the revelation that we will be reciting and living by where would we be without him? So when you're so arrogant, and prideful and stingy,
that when his name is merely mentioned in front of you, you don't say sallallahu alayhi wa salam? What does that say about how ungrateful of a person you are? Because you know, a lot of people think with their tongue, but they don't think with their hearts, right? They don't show any gratitude with their hearts. So the point here being is that number one,
at the very least when someone does something for you say thank you as a courtesy, the way you thank the prophets, Isom is merely sending Salawat that's the bare minimum of courtesy is simply invoking the peace and blessings of Allah subhanaw taala upon him.
But on top of that,
if even in those moments, you will not remember the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and invoke Salawat upon him, then how do you expect to live by his example, or be granted His intercession on the Day of Judgment, if you can't even bring yourself to do that.
So it's a quality of pride, or laziness that you don't feel inclined to say sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, every single time you hear his name mentioned in your presence, and in fact, you should be proactive in something Salawat on the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam. But if even when someone says his name in front of you, you don't bring yourself to do it. It's either pride or extreme laziness and procrastination. The second one, a person whose parents lived to see their old age in His presence and he does not enter Jannah through them.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam mentioned Awali do also to available Jana the father is the middle gates of paradise. And when he sent the man back home, he said paradise is under the feet of your mother.
And you don't enter Jannah through the service of your parents. Now the prophets lie Selim, or rather, Djibouti Iranian Salam specified something here.
It's bad enough to be ungrateful to your parents, and to not recognize the blessings and the great
sacrifice that they've made for you. You should recognize that even as a child, you should come to recognize that even as a teenager, you should come to recognize that as you grow mentally, that my parents have really done a lot for me. And they've showed me a lot of love. And by that they've earned the right to my honorable conduct and etiquette, even if they slip, even if they become a little belligerent. Even if they you know if they say something that I don't necessarily like. They've earned that from me because they tolerated me
in ways that no other human being would be expected to tolerate another human being.
But what is Gibreel? Is Salam specified here, a person whose parents became ill
Elderly in their lifetime, what that denotes is that you yourself, have also become old enough to where you're an adult now to.
You should have figured this out by now. You're probably a parent yourself by now, if you don't get it now, when will you get it? You understand? So it's one thing all of the ayat and a hadith about the obedience to parents and the love to parents. But how either ungrateful do you have to be that now when you're old enough to be in their situation, you still don't get it?
And what are you waiting for? If you get it, but you're still not showing that honorable conduct. You see it in your own children, you see it in your own life, what are you waiting for? If not now, then when. So once again, the quality of ingratitude or the quality and or the quality of procrastination, that last one,
this is amazing.
Raju indica La La he Ramadan, someone sort of fell on your face
a person who Ramadan entered upon
and left and he still was not forgiven. He still was not forgiven. What's the difference between this one and the previous two? You can tangibly measure sallallahu alayhi wasallam. You can know whether or not you're doing that, like you can immediately that can click with you. And you can say Wow, the next time I hear the name of the Prophet slice, I'm going to push myself to recognize that and understand the great meaning behind that, that I really need to be grateful to this man for what he's given to me. And I need to proactively do Salawat before anyone even mentions his name, and try to live His example even in context where his example cannot be found.
All right, so I can I can trace that I can come out of the spotlight and say I will never hear the name of the profit slice that I mentioned again, and not say salawat the second one I can measure my behavior with my parents.
I can look at myself and say you know what? I can get a little bit nicer. Here's some things I can do to properly honor them. Well, first and foremost, Willa taco Lahoma often don't don't say words of disrespect I can trace that I can catch myself when I'm disrespectful and I can start to do some nicer things to show them that I honor them. But the third one a person who Ramadan entered upon you and left and you are not forgiven there is no way to trace that wait a minute was I forgiven last Ramadan or not? What about the Ramadan before that? What about the Ramadan before that? Do How do I know when Ramadan is gone if I was forgiven or not. And here in is a very powerful lesson Gibreel it
his system comes down in Ramadan in Laila to Qatar amongst those Mala amongst those angels, spreading that Mercy of Allah subhanaw taala upon anyone that is in any state of remembrance, and it's almost as if God had it his Salam is saying it's impossible for you to miss the mercy and forgiveness of this month unless you're really trying to miss the mercy and forgiveness of this month. This is couldn't OMA together Karuna Jana to 11 abba, everyone will enter Paradise from my Alma except for the one who refuses, you have to outright refuse the mercy and forgiveness of Ramadan if you're not gonna get it now. Because Jibreel Islam fully appreciates, he sees what we
don't see of the blessings of Allah subhanaw taala that come down on that night? If even now, when Ramadan comes upon you, you're still not forgiven? You really have to ask yourself the question, how is it that I managed to miss the Mercy of Allah subhanaw taala and this month, the Mercy of Allah
which is so great. Outside of this month Amata bin Abdulaziz Rahim Allah said Luca Tabo, Hassan Maharaja and Rockman Tila and let's see what's the article, let's say? It's a beautiful statement that he made. A person has truly failed and lost when they managed to miss the Mercy of Allah subhanaw taala though it encompasses everything. How do you miss it? Now? Here's what is being spoken about here. And here is the lesson that I want you to take particularly now with Ramadan, Allah creates for you a perfect storm in Ramadan,
to quit your sins, and to take on good deeds that you didn't use to do. It is a perfect storm. Allah removes all the distractions from you. Allah subhanho wa Taala gives you all the added incentives.
all the bells and whistles and bonuses and everything. It's all in Ramadan, even though Allah doesn't have to give you any of them.
Allah didn't have to give us Ramadan. He was already merciful enough when he gave us five prayers that equal
50 and says through the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that if a person fast one day seeking the pleasure of Allah subhanaw taala that they would be removed, their face would be removed from the Hellfire a distance of seven years. All that already exists, he didn't have to give us Ramadan to.
With all of this mercy, he already made the path to Jannah doable and tangible. He didn't have to open its gates. He'd already warned us enough of hellfire he didn't have to shut its gates, he already gave us power over the shayateen he didn't have to chain them away.
They already have no power over us and very bad delay Silicon Valley humans so far, not just in Ramadan, my servants You have no power over them. Illa Manitoba coming along, and except for those who follow you willingly, it's already all there for you. But he still gives you a perfect storm of Ramadan, particularly those last 10 Nights? If not now, then when? If there is a sin that you have been repeating throughout the year, if you're not going to quit it now what are you planning to quit? It's if there's a bad behavior that you know that you have and you recognize if you're not going to do something about it now, what are you going to do it? You have enough incentive to read
Quran throughout the year if you're not going to read it. Now, when are you going to read it? You have enough incentive to pray at the Yama live every single night if you're not going to pray in the last time, when are you going to pray?
That's what would lead you breathe it his salam to make dua against an ummah that he has sent to honor every single year in Ramadan. You don't even have to do much. It just comes upon you. All you have to do to our well dudina Farhatullah as the prophet sighs I'm said present yourself to this birth of Mercy that's been given to you by Allah Subhana Allah to Allah.
And this is a Hadith that's very important here, where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said, as Narrated by Abu Hurayrah, the Allahu taala, and Huyen Zito Rabona terracotta and I couldn't believe that in Isla Santa dunya Hina aapke Furuta laden after the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Allah descends every single night in a way that defeats his majesty to the lowest heaven. Every single night, in the last third of the nights, Fairport many of you Rooney trust ajibola Whoa, Woman Yes, Aloni for Altea Whoa, woman, yester Ferroni fear Allah.
And Allah says to you, who is going to make sure
that I may answer to supplication who is going to ask me that I may give Him and who is going to seek my forgiveness, that I may forgive him?
That is every single night of the year.
Meaning you should have figured out throughout the entire year,
that it takes one night to stand up in front of Allah subhanaw taala and say, You're up this fairly. My Lord, forgive me. I messed up, forgive me. Allah is not going to say let me think about it. Allah subhanaw taala is not going to say come back in Ramadan. And maybe we'll see them every single night, who's going to seek forgiveness and I'll forgive you just say the word you have a generous and merciful Lord to say the word I'll forgive you. And so essentially what we're learning in this hadith of Djibouti and it has Suriname in these last 10 nights, and then this month, you're not going to push yourself a little bit further and just say sincerely, Oh ALLAH forgive me. Over live
best up throughout the year. And I don't deserve to be forgiven but Allahumma inika Fu and to Hipple Alpha fat for Annie but Oh Allah, you love to forgive so you forgive me?
If not now than when that is the relationship that we have with Allah subhanaw taala and that's why on the Day of Judgment, when a person sees their deeds presented before them, and they say I'll be Lola of hurt any other inquiry Sadhak Oh Allah, if you just send me back. Lo Anna Lee Kamala, if I just have another chance, you'll see what I'll do. I'll be a person of Taqwa. I'll be a person of Taqwa piety. I'll be a person of Assam, Cornermen and Mycenean. I'll be amongst those people who excel in their deeds. Just give me one more chance.
And that's why the prophets lie. Some said in that last conversation that Allah subhanaw taala has with the person
when their book is sealed and they're doomed, they managed to miss the Mercy of Allah subhanaw taala
and he says, Yeah, Rob Oh my Lord, send me back. I'll give you the earth in gold twice.
And Allah Subhana Allah will say, yeah Abdi, but
to ultimately get a one on one dialogue, I asked you for so much less than that. I didn't ask you for the earth and gold. I didn't ask you to ruin your life. I didn't ask you to live a difficult life.
You were asked for very few things just a little bit. And you literally just have to present yourself to the Mercy of Allah subhanaw taala.
So fight these two qualities inside and outside of Ramadan, pride, and procrastination. And if not now with your Lord, than when May Allah subhanaw taala allow us to witness the last 10 nights and to be amongst those who are received by Jibreel Alayhis Salam on the last two nights and whose names are taken by Djibouti Iranian salaam to Allah subhanho wa Taala on NEDA to Qatar and may Allah subhanaw taala make us amongst those who follow the example of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam who will be joined with him on the day of judgment and may Allah subhanaw taala entered us into Jana, through the gates and our parents and never make us amongst those that are disobedient to
him, disobedient to our parents, and that are disobedient to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and may Allah azza wa jal never allow us to miss his mercy, either when it comes in a timespan or in a deed that is presented to us and may Allah subhanaw taala enter us into gender by His mercy Allah Amina Buccola that was talking about you looking recited Miss Amin for stuff we don't wanna hold
