Allahu
Akbar. Alamaat Assa'at Takar Abu Zaman
of the signs of the hour
is
how time,
Takar Abu Zaman,
how literally
time will be shortened.
No. A,
a month will seem like a week, and
a week will seem like a day.
We are
certainly living in that time.
In continuation
in continuation
from where we left off yesterday,
I mean, last Friday.
So we started our
Hadith. When I say Hadith, I mean our
conversation,
our reflection.
We started last week with these two verses,
and I said the one thing I want
you to take away with you is at
least the title
of this topic which is Alistikammer.
Steadfastness,
something
that the Ummah has lost.
Especially
if we look at the ladder, you know,
you have a ladder, a sullam,
and you have the top rung.
So it's the w, isn't it teacher?
W r u n g, I think.
You have the top rung and you have
the bottom rung of the ladder.
The olema say that the top rung is
governance, Islamic governance.
For the Muslim moon to have
a khilafa with a khalifa,
who rules by Sharaylahi Ta'ala,
who rules by the laws and commandments of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. That's the top rung
of the ladder.
And then we go down to the next
rung and the next rung and the next
rung.
And so the ulema,
they say that if we look at our
situation today,
we have literally let go of all the
rungs
except the last one,
except the last one, which some, by the
way, have let go already.
May Allah not make us of them. Allah
not make us of them. And that last
rung of the ladder is salah.
That last rung
of the ladder
is salah. And
insha Allah ta'ala, if we're going to come
back
to striving for perfection in that salah,
meaning perfection in that silah,
in that connection
with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, inshallah, we are
going to again climb that ladder.
And we're gonna again get to the top
of that ladder,
which is to again rule
by that which Allah has
revealed. Otherwise, what are we?
Allah
says in 3 different verses,
and those who do not rule by that
which Allah has revealed, then they are oppressors,
they are transgressors, they are disbelievers,
And I'm not making takfir of anybody.
I'm not making takfir of anybody unless we
see kufr bawah.
What is kufr bawah?
We see
what is called
clear disbelief,
then it becomes compulsory to point out that
that person is out of the fold of
Islam.
But like
Aduktura Abdullah
and Nafisi. One of the
one of the British projects that backfired.
One of the British projects
that backfired.
The British, when they were
occupying Egypt, they opened a school.
And I give you one guess, who did
they name it after?
Just take a guess.
Victoria.
There's so many things out.
And even the waterfront,
Victorian and Alfred. Is it Albert?
Alfred.
The school was named Victoria School, and it
was basically set up
to produce
the modern,
westernized
leaders for the Muslim world
to
their plan,
to their plot.
And of course,
this was part of al Qaeda,
falladdhina kafaru,
hoomal makedun.
And as for those who are plotting,
or they are plotting an evil plot, Allah
says, they are plotting an evil plot.
Falladeenakafaru,
as for those who disbelieve,
umal makedun,
their evil plots are part of Allah's plan.
Their evil plots are part of Allah's plan.
They got some short term success in the
meantime.
Especially when you look at the leadership in
the Muslim world, particularly in particularly in the
Arab Muslim world today.
The same doctor Abd al Nafisi, in in
one of his clips he says, la to
sadeqhu
hakamal Arab. He said, don't believe the the
Arab leaders. Don't believe anything they say.
Even
if they hang on to the
onto the astar meaning the kiswah
of the Kaaba. Don't believe them. Don't believe
them.
A reporter
used to be,
in fact he's from Gaza, Abdulbari Atwan.
Another
interesting interesting individual.
You know, al Hikmatul dalatul muminainamawujid.
Wisdom is the lost property of every believer
wherever you find it. You don't have to
agree with everything the person says.
Take the manhaj of Al Imam Malik,
Imam Udal Hijra, the imam of Muntinatul Manawara.
What did he say?
Rahim
he said,
He said, everything that He said,
you can take from it,
and you can leave from it,
except for the companion
of that grave.
And He pointed to whose kabr?
He pointed to the kabr of our beloved
prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam. Meaning, from
Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam, we take everything.
Why? Because Allah says so.
At which the messenger gives to you, take
it.
Implement it.
And that which he prohibits
you from, stay away from it.
But after Muhammad salallahu alayhi wasallam,
everybody else is fallible.
Muhammad is the last,
sallallahu alaihi wasallam, he is the last
infallible.
And everybody after him is fallible. So you
can take and you can leave. So Abdulbari
athwan, listen to what he says.
He says
he says, loihtunlatil
Kaaba.
He was talking at the time about the
kimam.
Kimam
is the plural of kimmatun.
Kimmatun is a summit.
I said kimmatun jebel, the summit of the
mountain, but he was talking about the kimam
of who? Of Adul Arabiyya.
The Arab summits.
The Arab summits. Can you ever remember for
as long as you've been alive,
and there's been this Qadea, this issue of
Palestine.
Has anything come out
of these Arab summits? And and and and
and and I mean all of these Arab
countries are Muslim countries. I don't say necessarily
Islamic countries.
They are Muslim countries.
But yet for all the years that we've
been hearing about,
nothing has come out except maybe some empty
crayfish shells
and some bottles of I don't know what.
So he says, even if the Kaaba, he
said, he said this,
I'm talking 15, 20 years ago, he said,
loikhtun little Kaaba,
laniyah taharaka zuamain Arab.
He said, even if the Kaaba, look, Moshe
Al Aqsa is occupied.
The Zionist government is now going to spend
100 of 1,000,000 of dollars
to actually sponsor,
it's coming from the government now, to sponsor
the invasion, the daily invasion of al Masjid
al Aqsa.
It's a phrase the Arabs use when and
nothing is done about it.
The one who is standing still,
it's like a statue
frozen,
Dead. The poet says, you would have been
heard.
You would have been heard if the pealing
if the people you are calling on were
alive.
You would have been heard. But the people
you are calling on, they are dead, meaning
their hearts are dead.
Their hearts are dead.
Like a fire, when you blow into it,
it gets brighter,
but you are blowing into dead coals.
You are blowing into dead coals.
This is the condition of the Ummah.
So after Masjid al Aqsa being occupied for
all these years, Abdul Bawi Atuan said, listen,
don't worry, even if the Kaaba was occupied,
they wouldn't move.
Going back to a duktru' Abdullah Nafisi, he
says
he says, hadi laiasat bujtamaat islamiyah.
This is how far gone we are.
This is how far removed we are from
al istikamah,
from steadfastness.
He said these societies are not Islamic societies.
These societies have takus,
Islamia. They have Islamic rituals, yes.
They have Islamic infrastructure. You see the masajid,
you hear the adhan,
see people making salah.
But you see these are not Islamic societies.
Why?
Laqadin harafna anitin.
What is it in hiraf?
We have literally
as an ummah, collectively.
I don't say individually.
That is between us and our Creator Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. But collectively,
we have left
steadfastness,
alistikama,
alasiratillahiilmustaqim,
on the straight path of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. And that is why we are where
we are today.
That's why
when Abi Amr
I say Abi Amr because the Hadith is
An Abi Amr.
So when Abu Amr
Sufyan,
Ibn 'Abdillah,
when he asked the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam, You Rasulullah,
kulli kawlan
fil islami
Give me a phrase.
Give me a phrase in Islam
of of of of about which I can
ask nobody but you.
Give me a phrase, just a phrase.
Say,
I believe in Allah,
and then be steadfast in that belief.
Don't waver.
Don't dabble.
Don't take your flock
to graze at the border of another man's
land.
Because then what's gonna happen?
Those sheep are going to jump over the
fence and grazing that man's land.
And we see it happening now.
I don't know if you guys saw recently
a clip, clip, clip, clip, clip where somebody
was bragging about opening one of the biggest
cinemas where?
In Las Vegas?
In,
give me some other destinations,
Paris, London, Phuket,
in Makkhetil Mokaroma.
It will be a cinema and he says,
and a dance club,
and a dance club.
La ilaha illama Muhammadu Rasulullah
I mean, after 11 months
of watching our brothers and sisters being massacred,
of watching
a genocide unfolding live,
not just on the television, in our pockets,
on our phones.
2,000,000,000,
2,000,000,000
of 1.
It's the 2,000,000,000.
Showing the 2,000,000,000, yes.
2,000,000,000 of us hamstrung.
Hamstrung.
Humiliated.
Disgraced.
Because of our inability
just
to stay steadfast.
Satan,
he made a kassar.
He made a kasa,
but he also made mistisna
to that kasa.
He took an oath, but he also made
an exception to that oath.
What did he say?
I will deceive all of them.
Except for those sincere servants of yours, you
Allah. Those who want to be on the
straight path.
Those who want to live within the boundaries.
This is what it boils down to.
As simple as this, that which is lawful
is clear,
and that which is unlawful is clear.
And between the 2 there are doubtful areas.
Not many people know these doubtful areas.
Whoever stays away from the doubtful areas,
then they save their religion and their honor.
Woman, waka'afis shivahat,
but whoever falls into doubtful areas, waka'afil
haram, then they have fallen into that which
is unlawful.
I didn't know,
but why didn't you go find out?
The prophet said, salaam alayuri
book.
Leave that which you doubt for that which
you don't doubt.
I needed the
money.
Is that gonna be an acceptable excuse in
the day of qiyam?
Abedim.
Abedim.
Like a shepherd that takes his sheep to
graze at the border of another man's land.
Almost allowing
the sheep to go over into that man's
land
or into the king's land
because he then says,
Allahu innalikuli malikin hema, indeed for every king
there are borders.
Allahu innalikimallahi
ma harimu, and indeed the borders of Allah
are his prohibitions.
Prohibitions, what are those?
What are those?
Well, we have prohibitions
which are
sagar, minor sins,
and then we have prohibitions which are kabair
major sins,
like Asaba'al
Mudukaat,
like the 7 most severe of those cardinal
sins,
like Ashirkubillah
orqatlu nafsibireil haqil akhil,
Associating partners in the worship of Allah, murder,
etcetera, etcetera.
Ibn Abbas, if you want to know
the cardinal sins, Ibn Abbas says,
it's more like 7 teeth than 7.
You can go look it
up. Go look up according to the riwai
of ibn Abbas, Abdul Lai bina Abbas,
the greatest faqih from amongst the
Sahaba,
through the barakah of the dua of beloved
Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
O Allah, give him understanding in the religion.
Wa'alim would ta'weel and grant him the interpretation,
the correct interpretation of the Quran. That's why
he was the greatest faqih and
the greatest mufasir
from amongst
all of the companions of our beloved prophet
Muhammad, salawatulahu alaihi.
RadiAllahu anhu ajumayin. Allah be pleased to all
of them. Ameen.
So He says, it's more like 70.
Now this is this is where our journey
back to Allah begins.
Those of us that are still holding on
to the last rung of the ladder, those
of us who are still making salah, this
is where
this is where our journey begins.
First, making sure
that we are not dabbling in any haram
without exception,
no haram.
I mean, just look at the statement of
the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he says,
either amartukum
bishayin
fatu minhu mastataqatam.
If I tell you to do something,
then do of it what you can.
Beautiful,
The religion is easy.
Then He says, wa'idha na haytukuma
anhu fantahu, but if I tell you to
stay away from something, stay away from it
completely.
So there's no like, okay, I'm doing all
of these good deeds. 1 or 2 bad
deeds is okay.
It's very good.
It's gonna catch up with us. And wallahi,
it has caught up with us.
Wallahi billahi
it has caught up with us.
With kiz walaar,
with dul, with disgrace and humiliation,
it has caught up with us.
I
think I mentioned last week,
Do you believe in a portion of the
book and reject the portion thereof? What will
be the recompense of those who do that?
Except
And
And on the day of your mumqiama,
we'll be recompensed
with a severe torment.
And
Allah is not unaware of what He do.
Allah is not unaware of what He do.
So don't think, If nobody can see me,
then it's alright. It's okay.
They seek to hide from people,
But they don't seek to hide from Allah.
Why?
Because they can't.
Wahuwama'awm
and He's with them.
God, you escape Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Allah says to us, whether you say something
in secret,
or you say it loudly in the open,
Allah knows that which hides in the hearts
of mankind.
We can't hide from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
In actual fact, that's one of the signs
that we shouldn't be doing something. Did you
know that?
One of the signs that we shouldn't be
doing something because we we know when we're
about to sin.
Number 1, there's a built in alarm system.
There's a built in alarm system
in the heart of every believer.
With the presence of La ilaha,
that that alarm system is there.
Shukran, Muhammadu Rasool Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
2 go together.
Faith and works.
Tawhid,
was shiratawamin
haja, and the perfection completion combination
of the law and the way.
So just
with the mere presence of that kalimashahadala
illaha illaam
mashahadala illaaha illaam,
that alarm system is activated.
And when we're just about to
get near,
whether it's thinking,
whether it's
saying, or whether it's
doing, that alarm system,
it's activated. It goes off.
What alarm system is that?
Righteousness is good character.
Well, isthmu
ma
haka fisoderikh.
And sin is that which makes your heart
uneasy.
And so the prophet said, istaftikalba
Consult your heart.
We know when we're about to sin. We
know when we have come near to the
border.
It's like these senses at the border.
Alarm goes off.
So number 1, the heart will start trembling
within the chest. And number 2,
what you're about to do or about to
say is something that you wouldn't like other
people to hear you say or see you
do.
Because
if we've hidden from people, we can't hide
from Allah.
So, Jamatul Muslimeen,
we have a long way to go,
but we have to make a start, and
we have to make a start
with ourselves, and I start with myself.
You Abdi,
enter to read
Oh my servant, you want
and I want but nothing will happen except
that I want.
So if you give to me what I
want, I will suffice you in what you
want. But if you don't give to me
what I want, then I will tire you
in what you want and nothing will happen
except that which I want.
So let us begin that journey.
If we want to
see 'izzah and karama,
that which the people of ghazah, pitala izzah,
the strip of dignity and honor is teaching
us.
Because of what? Because of the istiqama.
Indeed those who say, Allah is our creator
and sustainer, and then they are steadfast on
that belief.
What's that description?
And how many?
A prophet.
They fought alongside them? Rebiyyul arubaniyul.
Allah, when I read this ayah, I see
the people
of Ghazah.
Palestine Ambatan, wagazah
Khasath. The people of Palestine,
generally,
See what they did the other day in,
Tulkaram, and Nablus, and other places in the
West Bank,
and nobody does anything.
Nothing,
not even a squeak. I'm speaking about the
leadership in the Ummah,
Leadership without leadership.
Like blowing into dead coals.
So Palestine,
Amatan generally speaking and Ghazzaqasatin
specifically speaking.
Don't play with the deen of Allah.
Tatanazanu
alayhiwun malaika,
at the time of their death or in
this case their shahada
because the 2 are not equal,
walatakulloolimeyukatalufisabilillahi
amwad, don't say that those who have been
slain in the path of Allah, that they
are dead.
So whether it be for the person that
has istiqama, steadfastness, whether it be at the
time of death or at the time of
shahada,
in this case, at the time of shahada.
The angels will come to them,
and the angels will say to them,
do not fear and don't be sad.
Well, Abishirub that which you've been promised.
Hence, the smile on the brother's face.
Those of you who weren't here last week,
that's how I started the lecture.
I
didn't mean to say lecture, sorry. I started
to talk firstly to myself.
That brother
who broke away from his father to help
his other brother who had just been shot,
and when he got to his brother,
the Zionist savages shot him through the heart,
and the sister who was narrating the story
says that he turned around
and he had the broadest smile on his
face, and then he was martyred.
What did he see?
He saw the angels, Balak,
and he heard the glad tidings from the
angels.
And then they said to him,
We
are your friends in this world, and we'll
be your friends in the hereafter.
Ni'amal Awliya. Ni'amal Ashtiqah. What what wonderful beautiful
friends to have.
Walakum feeha ma tashtihi amfusukum.
In Jannah, you will have whatever your hearts
desire.
And you will have whatever you ask for.
As an entertainment,
you'll be the guest of the oft forgiving,
the most merciful.
In actual fact, let me put it to
you this way.
Bishwaia Bishwaia You Walat.
Let me let me put it to you
this way.
We need to realize it now before it
is too late.
Otherwise, when Insignificance.
What did the prophet say, sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam? He said,
If the dunya was worth more in the
eyes of Allah, then the wing of a
mosquito,
Allah wouldn't have given the disbelievers one drop
of water.
And hence, the business transaction.
Those that pick and choose from the deen,
those that play with the deen,
llah ikaladinashtarawal
hayat dunya bilakhirah.
They have sold
they have sold eternal bliss in paradise in
the hereafter
just to follow their wombs and fancies and
lusts and desires for the blink of an
eyelid on the dunya.
The worst business deal
that they could ever be.
Their punishment will not be lightened
nor will they be aided aided or supported.
So we ask Allah
in this day of Jum'ah,
and in this hour never be the hour
of the acceptance of our duas.
You Allah, we ask you to guide us,
You Allah, wake us up from our state
of heedlessness and carelessness, you Allah.
You Allah, let us come back to your
straight path, you Allah.
You Allah.
Your indestructible
rope
that can never be broken.
The Holy Quran and the sunnah of our
beloved Prophet Muhammad Khaydul Anam salawatulabi
sunnahbar. And with that rope help us to
climb up the ladder again.
Holding on fast,
as the prophet said, hold on to it
with your molars, bina wajid. Don't let go
until we get back to that
that top rung,
when again we shall be ruling.
Muhammadur Rasulullah and
making salayimashil
Aqsa
o wahorunaziz,
and it is liberated,
and it is consecrated, You Rabbil Alemin. Rasulullah
said, Muhammad
This is just a dua
we've been requested to make for Abdul Aleem
Fandeman
undergoing major surgery
removal of cancerous organ
Allah
grant the guide the surgeon's hand
and grant for the operation to be a
complete success and that Allah grant him and
all our sick
complete shifa
and mercy to our deceased
and acceptance for our martyrs,
