Sustainer we bear witness, there's none worthy of worship but Allah,
we bear witness, we believe in all the prophets who came in the great
line of divine And we bear witness the Prophet Muhammad, Abdullah
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa, he was happy he was, is the final
of all the emissaries of Allah.
The respected elders, or Allah, or far, brothers and sisters,
they are those who are not of the Muslim faith who have come to
listen to the lecture today because it's gonna be something
about Easter as well as the Muslim perspective on that. And to all
those outsiders who are here for the medicine. I greet you are the
Islamic universal greeting of peace, may the peace the mercy and
the blessings of Allah be upon each and every one present here at
this auspicious time of Jumeirah in this house of Allah, in this
most beautiful city in the world, as it you are Salam aleykum
Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
It is with great sadness that we noted this week, the burning of a
place of worship, because he drove it was burnt Cathedral of Notre
Dame in in Paris,
a place of worship that was burned and of course when any place of
worship is damaged.
We feel empathy with those who frequent these places of worship.
As Muslims it's an article of faith for us to believe in all the
prophets
those who have been mentioned specifically in the Quran 25 of
them and there are many others are Roussillon Casasola why they come
in Kabul will Rasul Allah Noxus Malik and there are many prophets
were not mentioned in the Holy Quran. We review all of them and
among them recited Sudan, Jesus peace be upon him. He is
recognized as a great prophet of Islam. We revere his exemplary
role, we honor and revere his mother who holds a special place
in Islam. An entire chapter titled after marry in the Quran. We
acknowledge the honorable epithets we find of Isa Ali Salaam in the
Holy Quran, among them is Nabhi as a prophet Rasul a messenger of
Allah. When I saw you in the righteous Kadima to Allah, the
word of Allah, Muhammad Allah from the spirit of ALLAH. Of course,
he's also I told the nurse, a positive sign and symbol for
humanity, and of course, Rama to Mina, a mercy from the Almighty YG
Humphrey dunya will Akira eminent in this world in the Hereafter,
and of course, most unique of all the Messiah, the Messiah to come
at the end of time.
This weekend, millions of Christians around the world
commemorate the crucifixion, and the resurrection of Jesus or ISA
Ali Salam.
And though Muslims except a silent Salam, as mentioned as a great
prophet, revere him and example the mother and believe that He is
the Messiah, we do not accept it's part of our faith, the major
concepts that are central to the commemoration of Easter.
There are three key points one is crucifixion.
The second one is the resurrection. And the third one is
redemption or atonement.
As for crucifixion,
according to Muslim belief, a Saudi Salam went through
tremendous trials and tribulation, all the opposition that he went,
he was betrayed by those, some of those around him all that we
accept, but the notion of him being crucified, who Amata Lu, who
were masala was neither crucified, nor was he killed.
So
he was saved from being killed by his enemies and detractors and not
having died. He could therefore not have been resurrected, because
there must be death, for resurrection to take place. Slow
Death, no crucifixion, no resurrection.
And then the notion of this death and the resurrection has
To receive the added connotation that he died and gained life
again. And through His death is atonement for the sins of
everybody who believes in Him and who follow Him.
In Islam,
nobody dies for the sins of anyone else, are you sadly Salam did not
die for anybody sins. And Muslims believe as part of an integral
part and in an inherent part of our faith, that each person will
be held individually accountable before Allah for his or her own
action, and therefore individually responsible for our own salvation.
Therefore, we cannot and should not rely on anyone else.
Knowing that human beings do sin, and sins are those actions,
which we deliberately incur by our choice of actions. And therefore,
we are responsible, therefore, at the same time to be held
personally accountable for it.
So there's no notion of redemption for sins by someone else.
And if you do good, it is to own benefit, if we do wrong is to our
own detriment in our San Tomas and 2 million. We're in Kampala.
At the same time, the notion of individual accountability from a
Yamame is called as
well my yarn Yamame is called inshallah Euro. Each will be
rewarded according to deeds. And those deeds are premised on the
intention that precedes them, as we know, in the Dharma Bindy yard.
In Islam, there's no notion of atonement, or redemption for one
sin but another.
And Allah subhanaw taala clearly states law you can live Allah Who
enough son in law was Lamarca, but what are they?
No person can bear the burden of another. And Allah does not give
you a burden to be more than you can be. And no one will be held
accountable for the other, each according to the deeds the good
you do, you incur the benefit of the wrong you do you bear the
consequences.
So let us begin to understanding this whole notion of atonement and
forgiveness. And redemption. From Islamic perspective is equal to
the power
of thought in the wobble as you said in a hadith documented by the
mama Telemedia, all human beings commit wrong and sin and the Best
of those who sin are those who sincerely repent.
And the almighty captures the human ingredients necessary for
attaining Taqwa that highest level, the pinnacle of human
achievement, in the estimation of Allah in economic Mengele at
Cochon, for attaining that piety, Allah brings to attention some
essential elements for that kind of Felicity and that kind of
success. In Hadith in reverse, sorry, in Surah Toba, Allah says a
typo in the lobby doing the harm you do in your own rock your own
aside, you do not you do not build my roof when Hoonah Anil bunker
will have you learn how to do dilla Bashir glad tidings.
And then Allah mentions a whole series of categories attack a
boon. Those who turned to Allah in repentance Allah be Doom, those
who submit to Allah and Jaime doom. Those who's who, who praise
Allah thankful, express direct you to Allah, assert your own those
one spiritual journey towards him. Some says he first to those who
are fasting. Others say no say your own means spiritual wayfarers
who on the pathway to Allah, a rock your own Assad, you dune
those who bow in prostrate but it begins with a brunette Avi dune.
It begins with those who tend to Allah in repentance.
So the first characteristic mentioned by Allah in this verse,
for those who are attaining for the city and those who attained
velocity is Toba repentance, as if to indicate that the first step
towards attaining this kind of Felicity and success emanates from
the notion of Toba. The word Toba as we know come from the word tava
tuber meaning to turn
and you're to boil Allah, we turn to Allah in repentance, and Allah
is at the work, he responds to those who turned to him asking for
repentance. And therefore, it implies that we re orientate
ourselves towards the divine because whenever we sin, we are
disoriented from the Divine. So Toba means we calibrate ourselves
and re orientate ourselves to the Divine and Towba therefore, is
regarded as a major pathway to rectify in one's life. A major
pathway to rectifying one's life acknowledging your
wrong, admitting you're wrong, and then trying to do something to
repair that wrong, sincere repentance and moving away. And
then that pathway to rectifying one's life is also the gateway to
salvation and the atonement for one's sins, of the dying of any
profit or any worldly or any interview.
May Allah be pleased with all of
the poet writes.

responded to those who ask. I carry my sins with me and make my
pathway towards you. With my sins I come to your Allah. I come to
knock at your door seeking refuge. Regretfully, apologizing
expectantly hopeful of your satisfaction and your pleasure.
I call upon you Allah, only lever of distress. A one who responds
and does not cause the one who asked
to ask him been beautiful. I do not attend to you Allah, because
you are the reliever of the stress. You are the one who
responds and does not cause the one who asked you to turn to you
in vain.
We must realize
that this is a plea as the poet says, I turned to you Allah
therefore in the Stober drowning in tears in my privacy while no
one else notices me.
So we must realize that we turn to Allah to make dua, we always say,
when you want Allah to speak, you read the Quran. When you want to
speak to Allah you make dua,
we must realize that you make dua, when you call upon Allah in our
own need in our times of distress. Or we express gratitude to the
Almighty or simply call upon Allah to feel the comfort of the Divine
Presence.
You always remember the DUA depends a lot on the sincerity of
intention on the class. And to make sure his purity of the reason
why you asking for what you're asking, can you imagine someone
that will make dua to curse someone else? How often the Rasul
was asked to curse people, even when they were stoning him.
When they were stoning him, in Thai, if they said curse these
people, Allah will turn the mountains upon them, sending them
a limb of asteroid or iron into my bath to Ramadan. I have not been
sent to curse people. I've been sent his mercy.
But at the same time, neither Isa Jesus peace be upon him no Musa al
Islam, no other Sula, as revered as they are, in our estimation.
When we make dua, we ask Allah and we ask him Allah alone, he Yuck,
but you're gonna stay.
And throughout the Quran, Allah encourages the believers to call
upon him. He asked us to lay our dreams, our hopes, our fears and
uncertainties before him, and to be shared to be sure that he hears
our plea, a lady was completely against her husband. And Allah
documents that plea in a society where women were not heard of
heard, were ignored, or second class citizens. Allah says in the
opening of Jews Surah Majora Carter Sami Allah colinearity to
judge the look of his odia Allah has the pity of a woman who was
arguing against her husband, who was oppressing him.
So,
we turn to Allah and Allah encourages us to call upon him, he
asked us to lay our dreams our hopes, our fears and uncertainties
before him. And to be sure that he he is openly will call the only
strategy block Mala is asked me I will respond and very important to
notice. There are particular terminology in particular names
that are linked concept is amanu aminu Salah faith with action.
You find Allah before the rain. Send me on Halim Rahmani Raheem.
When he speaks about do
and responding to to
Allah always links will Jeep and Calib the one who responds because
he's close to you. Example, we'll call Ronnie STG Bloxom asked me
and I will turn to you. Allah is close to us. You don't need an
intermediary.
Well hello hello hello in Santa we're not allowed to watch which
will be enough to
lay him in Hublin will lead we are close to you, we know even the
whispers within your soul. Allah says We know even we created you
and we know even the whispering of your soul
and we are closer to you than your jugular vein. In other words, we
are closer to you than even the rest of your life.
So
Allah makes us aware, to call upon him and beyond that, about his
proximity and closeness. And if Allah says, first step for you
seek forgiveness of Allah Houma to really intend to him in repentance

to moderate inshallah is also the 15th Night Eve of Shabbat or the
nice Shabbat in the authentic hadith we have documented but at
the brawny
you're told you Allah azza wa jal Allah hulky Lillington this Misha
ban fire fury Jamia ha wish we can only shine
on the night of the murder of Shaban which is tomorrow evening
Allah looks at his creation and forgives all of them. Except, of
course, there are many a hadith that people add about Nisha man,
this is one which is definitely authentic. So do understand that
sometimes there are additional report which may not be of the
highest degree of authenticity, but this one is accepted as
authentic by the majority of scholars, the vast majority of
scholars.
So he says Allah on this eve looks at his creation and forgives them
all their sins by two things Allah mentions to be cautious of
machinery and machinery.
So there are three points I want us to briefly look at. When he
talks about the history.
There is definitely significance to the neck of the Nissan Shaban
because he's mentioned in an authentic hadith. And on this
hadith, particularly some of the great orlimar in Islamic history,
agree mama Shafi mimosa, you mama so yo te mommy be Tamia, you mama
never we have all corroborated the authenticity of this ideal and
even written about this particular Hadith. The second point is the
forgiveness of Allah, all human beings
and the Best of those who are those who repent. Some people feel
so helpless and hopeless because of sins in despair, the spirit of
forgiveness of Allah, he's Rahmani Raheem, the Most Compassionate,
the Most Merciful. Yes, we should be ashamed of our sins, but each
one worry about them. We are too busy focusing focusing on other
people's sins too bad man should I be who I know you'll be last Glad
Tidings to that person who's more concerned about his own faults
than focusing on the faults of other people.
threatenings on those who are more concerned about their own faults
than bothering about the faults of other people.
At the web, he's the one who turns to those who responds to those who
repent. It's also for the forgiving, we're staffing up the
consumer to Boulais. See forgiveness for Allah from Allah
in Turkey in europei Rahim who will do this way this is is and
the Most Compassionate, the most loving, more loving than anything
that can be loving, in rugby, Raheem moon, third point in this
hadith, we also want one is importance of the light. Second
one is about forgiveness. Third one is avoid shame. And to be able
to shine.
Shield, associating partners with Allah is a major shift. And Moshe,
when are those people who are excessively argumentative? They
argue about everything. Or they cause friction between people. And
the more apt definition, those who create hatred or hatefulness,
towards others.
This ASR is that I will be speaking about the same document
but if they are saccade, it has come down to us and yes it and
Allah knows best. In quantum when he was heavy. He told his
companions he Sahaba he said, income to me when he was RB 14 Who
unphysical either either what you will about dominant nurse, if you
are truly told his companions, if you are truly my brothers, and you
are truly my companions, then condition yourself in such a way
against animosity towards people against avoiding the hurting of
people and spreading hatred amongst people.
So in conclusion, as much as we revere all the prophets of Allah
may Allah be pleased with all of it. They are each and every one of
them models of excellence. And as much as you honor Isa Jesus peace
be appalling resolve the salon, the Messiah, the Messiah will
believe it either he nor anyone else can atone for our sins.

As you humble yourself to Allah, so will Allah elevate you, as you
humble yourself, so shall you be elevated. As you show mercy and
forgiveness. Allah will be merciful and forgiving to you. And
as you strive to meet the needs of the struggling people, Allah will
come to your assistance when you are in need. In the Hadith, in the
more problematic, it is reported. As Ali Salam said Allah knows
best. He said, that hadith Hadees Killa Phatak suku Luba for indel
Kullberg Cassia bitumen Allah baldachin that Allah Moon well
that on the roof is the newbie
or BB one roofie Huck and Nicola need
to speak much,
except that you intersperse it with the remembrance of Allah
don't speak so much that you forget in your speech,
consciousness of Allah.
Because if you do so, your hearts will become hardened.
Surely, a heart that is hard, is distance from the Divine.
And you may not even realize that you're distancing yourself.
Do not look at the faults of others, like you are an overload.
Look at the faults of others, as if you all Overlord, rather like a
servant. Look at false including your own as a humble worship.
Remarkable words of the beer isa Ali salaam, peace be upon him.
Words that inspire humility, enhance his spirituality, and
motivated in us the spirit of empathy.
I conclude by reminding all of us as we enter enclose the man close
to the month of Ramadan, we end the month of Shabbat or at least
never display of the Mercy of Allah. Never display of the Mercy
of Allah.
And Allah is after all the most forgiving.
