Dear brothers and sisters,
This is the day of happiness. The day
of joy.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentioned in the Quran.
Say to them, oh Muhammad.
This is by Allah's bounty and the the
mercy of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, and we
have to be happy.
When we look at our holidays,
Eidul Fitri, Wa Adul Atha,
we will find that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
combine
our holidays
with the obedience to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
When we look at Eid ul Fitr, we
had the whole month of Ramadan
fasting,
standing during the night praying for the sake
of Allah azza wa Jal, reciting Quran,
doing Ibadah.
Then in the end of the month, we
will celebrate
our holiday
because
we made it. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentioned,
To magnify Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for that
he guided you and to be grateful, to
be thankful
to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. When we look
at our Eid today,
we did
the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah.
We did suya.
We did qiyam.
We prayed on time with the congregation
as much as we can. We recited Quran,
and this is why Allah gave us permission
to celebrate
our Ibadah,
and to say we made our Ibadah for
the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And
this is why Allah gave us today to
magnify Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
We have it twice. 1 in Surat Al
Baqarah and the other one in Surat Al
Hajj.
The word of
Bushra
came with the 4 different
kind of people.
Only 4 kind of people
that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala mentioned them with
the good glad tidings in the Quran. May
Allah make all of us among those
Muhsineen
and Muqbitine
and mumineen and Sabireen.
Gave glad tidings for
good doers.
Gave
glad
tidings
for
the humble
ones,
or the one who hide his Ibadah or
his Ibadah, for the sake of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala. Wabashir al mumineen gave glad tidings
to believers.
Wabashir al Sabiri
in Surat Al Baqarah.
Gave good glad tidings
to
patient.
And this is the point. We have 3
kind of patients.
The first kind of patient to stay for
in your Ibadah for the sake of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And this is the good
example
our of our Sayeduna Ibrahim,
when he stay firm in his religion, worshiping
Allah Azzawajal.
And the second kind of patience,
which is to stay away from bad actions.
And this is a good example that Allah
showed us in the Quran with the prophet
Yusuf
alayhis salam. When the wife of the king
of Egypt
called him and she prepared herself
to commit adultery with the Sayyidina Yusuf, and
he respond back to her,
And this is a very good example for
our youth, for our young men and young
women to take our beloved prophet Yusuf, Joseph,
peace be upon him, as an example for
them in their life when they see a
lot of waves of fitan and of shahwad,
of desires, bad desires.
They
will lower their gaze and they will control
their limbs and will they will say, we
will take our prophet Yusuf as an example
for me. I will not do something
to make Allah unhappy with me. And this
is the second kind
of sabr or patience.
The third one which is to agree with
your Lord with any condition that you have.
If you have any calamity,
if you have any hardship time, if you
have any circumstance, and you
are not happy with that, you have to
know that this is what Allah decide for
you. Oh my brothers and sisters, And this
is a good example
that
Sayyidina Yaqub,
Jacob,
gave us. And Sayyidina Ayub
alaihis salaam,
you know, when he had a very difficult
condition, but he never gave up. And this
is the that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala mentioned
in the Quran.
I have
few messages
for myself, my brothers, and my sisters today.
We need to go back to our
normal life with the
pre messages
that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will help all
of us, Awe,
to keep in mind,
and to consider, and to follow, and to
imitate,
and to be among
good doers.
Insha'Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. The first
message
that I have today
that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
gave us a good example
about Sayeduna Ibrahim.
How he submit himself
completely
to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Not him only, but his son.
And this is what we need to train
our children
to submit themselves,
to focus,
to concentrate
when they
come
to the time to worship Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. Allah gave us example,
When they submit themselves
completely
to Allah Subhanahu
Ibrahim.
We called him out, O Ibrahim.
You
fulfill
your promise or your dream that you saw
in your sleep.
SubhanAllah.
We came back to good doers now.
And this is what we need to learn
from our beloved
Sayeduna Ibrahim
alayhis salam.
The second message,
we will look at his son Isma'il.
When his son
received
the question from his dad
He did not show off.
He did not say I will do that.
We need to teach our children,
don't hurry up to answer
and don't just jump
because
you need to ask Allah's help.
You need to ask Allah to help you
out to stay firm in your religion. This
is how Sayyidina Ismail
answer
a question.
Oh my beloved dad,
do whatever Allah commanded you.
This is Assabeen now.
This is why Sayyiduna Isma'eel,
peace be upon him. Choose the word
of patience.
Don't
show your muscles
even if you are doing Ibadat
every single moment for the sake of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Iblis,
Satan.
You cannot differentiate between him and the angels
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. But look, when
he act as an arrogant person, what happened?
He received the consequences
of his bad intention.
This is what we need to learn.
Show that you are very humble
and show that you are nothing without Allah's
help. This is especially for our
young generations.
And the message after that, that Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala
mentioned in the Quran
about Sayeduna Ibrahim. Because this holiday,
it's related to Sayeduna Ibrahim alayhis salam. For
the Qurbani, for the sacrifice, for the uthaya.
This is what Sayyiduna Ibrahim established,
and he started, and Sayyiduna Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam follow
his footsteps,
and he used to make sacrifice
every single year for 10 years that he
spent in Al Madin al Munawwarah,
And Sayyiduna Ibrahim, he asked Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala,
one condition.
And he asked Allah to make,
This is very beautiful
supplication.
He asked Allah
to grant
him
a reputation
of honor
among
later
generations.
This is why we mention
prophet Ibrahim's name
in the most of our Ibadat.
SubhanAllah.
Why? Because he requested from Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala
to help next generations
until the day of judgement
to mention his name and to mention his
good action
until the day of judgment.
This
is our turn today.
We need to do something
for people to
mention our names
when we
went back to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, when
we go back to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
We need to leave
some good project
behind us. We need to leave some good
student in our religion, our children,
our offspring.
SubhanAllah, this is what we need to learn
today.
When the sons of Adam dies,
he he, his or her good deeds will
end up
except
3 different ways.
A righteous
shy. It could be son or daughter, it
doesn't matter.
As as long as they will be pious
and righteous, this is the most important condition.
To make running
surety.
To leave behind you useful knowledge.
It's not to publish the book, nor in
any useful knowledge for the community, for the
society to learn from you, it will stay
in your good deeds even after after we
die. This is what we need to learn
from Eid ul Abha.
Dear brothers and sisters,
I will conclude my speech
for a special advice for our sisters today.
This is like Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam
used to give them
a special
speech
for them
and used to say
The women
are
sibling
with the men.
And my advice today for my sisters,
like Al Mutanabbi
used to describe
women,
and he used to say,
This is what we need
to learn.
We still have some Muslims.
They they show disrespect
for women,
and this is shameful.
The woman is your mom,
your sister, your daughter,
your aunt,
your
wife.
Show respect for them.
Because if we have
a good spouse,
they respect each other in front of their
children.
We will have a very healthy condition
for our houses.
And Nabi Ussalallahu alaihi wa sallam,
how he will resist in his life without
Khadija's help.
She covered
him. She helped him out.
She supported him.
May Allah be pleased with her and all
the companions of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. How
prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam will continue
to convey the message of Allah without with
help of
of Aisha alayhi
wa'ala Abiha wa'ala suhabati Ajma'in
arwudwan
al ameen.
And this is the point. We need to
learn.
When you act with your wife,
humble yourself.
When you act with ma with your mom,
humble yourself in front of her. And this
is what the prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa
sallam told us.
And when we look at Sayyidun al Imam
Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn
Muhammad, he is the very famous scholar. After
Sayyidun al Imam Abu Hanifa,
Sayyidun al Imam Malik, Sayyidun al Imam Shafi'i,
and Sayyidun al Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal. Do
you know who raised him? His mom.
His mom. And he narrated
or he told us about his story, and
he said, when I was young,
my mom used to wake me up before
fetch,
and she used to heat the water for
me to make wudu, and she used to
take me to the masjid. The masjid was
far away from our house, and she used
to cover herself
to a dress,
very nice dressing, and go with me to
the masjid to
perform
Fajr prayer
when I was
10 years
old.
Why we complain against our children?
Did we teach them? Did we give them
a chance
to practice
the correct religion from our beloved prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam?
Sayidna
Sufyan Ithawri.
He's Ameer al mumineen of Hadith
and Nabiya sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
And SubhanAllah,
he was an orphan.
And his mom raised him. And she told
him, oh my beloved son,
you have to learn the ahadith of Rasulullah
hissalahu alaihi wasallam, and I will
make
a self sufficient for you. Don't worry,
We might send our children to some places
to work and gain, you know, experience and
gain money and gain income, subhanAllah. And we
forgot to send them to make
a knowledge.
And this is what we need to learn.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala help all of
us out. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
support all of us
to raise our children as pious and righteous.
Say
This is the day of joy, this is
the day of happiness.
Please,
spread
happiness around you. Make it easy for your
family members, make it easy for your children.
Raise them in a very good environment.
Help them out to stay firm in their
religion. Don't force them to leave their religion.
Don't force them to go astray.
Don't force them to
leave the path of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Support them, make du'a for them, make supplication
for them, listen to them, and may Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gather all of us together
in the highest level in paradise
with our beloved prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
