Dear brothers and sisters, assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi
wa barakatuh.
Actually, the verses that we recited today, it's
very amazing condition, just to prove for ourselves,
the one who really choose to be in
the side of Allah, never, ever regret.
And the one who choose to stay in
the side of shaitan, satan, always, he or
she will regret in this worldly life and
hereafter too.
The scenario today, talking about the battle of
Badr, and how Allah always has a plan
for true believers.
Even if you cannot see any hope in
front of you, but don't lose hope in
your Lord.
I know, every single one of us, I
know, if we count, every single one of
us has a circumstance.
Don't say, alhamdulillah, I'm perfect.
No one is perfect, except the prophets and
the messengers of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
We are human.
If Allah give you some, Allah will test
you in the other thing.
Don't even imagine that you will have everything
in your life.
If Allah give you money, will take something
away from you.
If Allah give you health, will take something
else away from you.
If Allah give you kids and children, and
this is, Allah is just, subhanahu wa ta
'ala.
Just like the introduction for us, prepare yourself
to be satisfied with any circumstance that Allah
choose for you.
Agree?
Do you agree, brothers?
Alhamdulillah rabbil alameen.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave us the
scenario about the battle of Badr.
It's not our topic, but just to imagine
what happened.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala explained for them,
اِذْ أَنْتُمْ بِالْعُدْوَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ بِالْعُدْوَةِ الْقُسْوَةِ When
you take your position, O Muhammad ﷺ, and
your companions, in the near side to Madinah,
and your enemies were in the farther side.
وَالرَّكْبُ أَسْفَلَ مِنكُمْ The caravan was down there,
near to the valley.
And in that time, Sayyidina al-Hubab ibn
al-Munzir, you know, just to learn how
to be respectful to our beloved ﷺ or
to our leaders, if they are following the
command of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
We have to show respect for them.
We have to obey them.
We have to listen to them.
Sayyidina al-Hubab ibn al-Munzir asked Prophet
Muhammad ﷺ, is it the command Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala revealed to you when we
have to follow?
Or this is, you know, al-harb wal
khadee'ah?
Or this is the technique for the war
and to do something according to our experience?
And Rasulullah ﷺ told him, but this is
al-harb wal khadee'ah.
Allah did not reveal to me to take
this a certain spot.
He said, اِذَنْ هَذَا لَيْسَ بِمَنزِلٍ Indeed, this
is not good place.
We have to take the place near to
the well of bad well, the place for
water.
We will be able to drink and the
enemies will not be able.
We will be able to water our animals
and they will not be able to do
that.
And we will force them.
And Rasulullah ﷺ, listen to the opinion of
Sayyidina al-Hubab ibn al-Munzir.
Be positive in your life.
When you see something wrong, advice.
Give your advice, but don't insult people.
Don't make them down.
But because you have experience, don't hide it.
Don't keep it for yourself.
Share with the community, even for the leaders
of the community.
اِذْ أَنْتُمْ بِالْعُدْوَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ بِالْعُدْوَةِ الْقُسْوَى
وَالرَّكْبُ أَسْفَلَ مِنكُمْ وَلَوْ تَوَاعَتْتُمْ لَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِي
الْمِعَادِ If you had an appointment to fight
against them, you will miss it.
Subhanallah.
Sometime when we have any occasion in our
life, and we prepare for it so hardly.
But unfortunately, when you go to airport, when
you go to Hajj or Umrah or trip,
and you prepare yourself, you prepare your luggage
and ready.
Subhanallah, and the alarm did not work, and
you missed the flight.
What's going on?
I paid for the flight, I paid for
the hotel.
Don't be upset because Allah always has a
plan.
Later on, you get news, Subhanallah, the airplane
that had a crash, and everybody passed away,
and Allah saved you.
Just for example, I did not mention a
story or something, just I give you to
reflect on your life.
Sometime you planned to go somewhere, and Allah
did not give you the authority to do
it.
Later, you will be very mad, even with
Allah.
Why?
What did I do?
But later on, you will say, Alhamdulillah, that
I wasn't there.
Subhanallah.
And this is what happened in the Battle
of Badr.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala explained that, لِيَهْلِكَ
مَنْ هَلَكَ عَنْ بَيِّنَهِ وَيَحْيَ مَنْ حَيَّ عَنْ
بَيِّنَهِ Because the one who choose to live
his life according to the teachings of Islam,
he will have evidence in his life.
And the one who choose to go astray,
away from Allah's path, also will have evidence
in front of his own eyes.
Choose.
And this is why Allah revealed the Quran
for us.
Why Prophet Muhammad ﷺ always sent his statement
all the time.
The companions recorded every single action in his
life.
Say, اللهم صلي وسلم وبارك عليه بأبي أنت
وأمي يا رسول الله لِيَهْلِكَ مَنْ هَلَكَ عَنْ
بَيِّنَهِ وَيَحْيَ مَنْ حَيَّ عَنْ بَيِّنَهِ No one
will be excused.
If you choose to be good, Allah send
the evidence for you.
If somebody choose to be bad, Allah also
show with him a clear evidence because there
is no excuse for anyone in the Day
of Judgment.
The most important verse that I would like
to express today, Allah says, يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا This is only for believers.
إِذَا لَقِيْتُمْ فِيَةً فَثْبُتُوا When you meet with
any group to fight and you have to
stay firm because there is no other option.
Even if you will not be able to
win, even if you get killed, you will
be a martyr.
إِذَا لَقِيْتُمْ فِيَةً فَثْبُتُوا And what?
وَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا Stay firm and mention Allah's
name much.
لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ Perhaps you will be successful if
you stay firm.
And just imagine for any project in your
life, for your study, for your business, for
your company, for your degree, whatever you plan
in your life, if you do not have
patience and if you do not seek help
from Allah SWT, you will not succeed.
I'm not talking only about the war against
disbelievers.
I'm talking about the war against ourselves in
this worldly life.
You have shayateen al-ins wal-jinn.
You have satans from human beings and from
jinn.
When you try to do something good, they
will whisper to you, يا أخي, why you
have to do that?
SubhanAllah, don't listen to anyone.
Stay firm.
As long as you receive the information from
Allah SWT, it's done.
Don't change your mind.
Stay firm and help yourself out to mention
Allah's name.
وَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا كَثِيرًا As much as you
can, for sure you will be successful.
And this is the two conditions, to stay
firm and to mention Allah's name.
وَأَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ And obey Allah and His
Messenger.
Because sometimes we might really have patience in
our life, but we are not following Allah
or His Messenger's command.
Right?
We're doing in the opposite way.
Now we have to have the clear evidence
that we are following Allah's command and Prophet
Muhammad SAW's command.
وَأَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلَا تَنَازَعُوا Do not
have disputes between each other.
وَلَا تَنَازَعُوا Try to be united.
Try to agree.
Even if we are not agree 100%, at
least we agree about the principles of our
religion.
The branches of the religion, the details, you
might have different way than mine.
I might have different way than yours.
It's okay.
There is no harm.
We have to agree for the basic, the
principles and agree together.
And we will work together to make it
done.
And we will excuse each other for whatever
we are not agree together.
Imam Al-Shafi'i, rahimahullah, when he used
to teach his students, and one student wasn't
agree with his imam, with his teacher, subhanallah.
And what happened?
And he left the lecture and he went
home.
And Imam Al-Shafi'i went to his
home, to his student's house, knocked the door.
And he said, who's outside?
He said, Muhammad.
And he said, all Muhammad names came to
my mind except Muhammad Ibn Idrees Al-Shafi
'i, rahimahullah.
Anyway, he opened the door and he said,
you know, if we agree upon a lot
of masal, a lot of things, you know,
it's not harmful to have different opinion for
one or two masalas.
And he said, he bring me back, Imam
Al-Shafi'i, because shaitan will take advantage.
When you have dispute between you and your
brothers in the community, shaitan is very smart,
shaitan is very khabees, will take advantage, will
arrive the person and will drive him away
from the society and from the community.
وَأَطِعُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلَا تَنَازَعُوا فَتَفْشَلُوا Do not
have disputes, because you will not succeed if
you have disputes.
وَصْبِغُوا Again, Allah mentioned sabr twice.
What is the benefit?
We're going to finish with this, inshallah, Hazrat
Jalal.
The sabr, the first sabr over there, which
is from outside.
When your enemies look at you, they will
find you strongly patient from the image outside.
But you might have somebody who's showing that
he is a patient, but from inside, he's
not.
He tried to just quit, but he was
shy.
We need to have the eternal patience inside
our heart.
This is why when the Arabs, they used
to ask each other, how you will be
able to win any war?
And they said, بِصَبْرِ سَاعَة To increase your
patience a little bit, because your enemy is
thinking in the same way to quit.
اِن تَكُونُوا تَأْلَمُونَ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَأْلَمُونَ كَمَا تَأْلَمُونَ When
you look at our brothers and sisters in
Gaza or Lebanon today, you know, they have
severe condition.
You agree?
But in the other hand, their enemies, they
have worse condition than them.
This is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, Allah's
plan.
اِن تَكُونُوا تَأْلَمُونَ If you have pain, your
enemies, they have much, much, much pain than
you.
But you have reward from Allah and they
have nothing.
And this is the way.
When you have any circumstance in your life,
remember to stay firm, to be patient, and
to mention Allah's name so much, and to
obey Allah and His Messenger, and make sure
do not create any disputes between you and
your brothers around you.
For sure, you will succeed.
And you have to have the eternal sabr.
This is why Allah repeat the sabr again.
One sabr for outside, and other sabr for
inside, in your heart, in your chest.
وَصْبِرُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ And be patient,
because Allah will help the one who is
dealing with the sabr, with the patience.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make all
of us among as-sabirin.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala help all
of us out to have sabr, and to
obey Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, and obey
His Messenger, our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
And may Allah help all of us out
to avoid any disagree or any disputes between
ourselves.
Allahumma ameen.
أقول قولي هذا وأستغفر الله لي ولكم JazakumAllahu
khairan.
