Dear brothers and sisters,
I will be talking today
about
the virtues
of
reforming
Haqq and Humbra.
Why?
As
you
know,
we
have intention to go to perform Humbra
in the winter break.
And I contacted
some parents
to send their children
with a group
for
multiple
reasons
to send their children
to absorb
the places
that prophet Mohammed salallahu alayhi salaf and his
companions
used to go or used to sit.
Where did Prophet Muhammad
used to deliver his message?
He used to say a sentence of vacation,
used to eat,
used to talk.
And when we go on this journey,
we will
return back
in different
way of life.
And I found some
parents
really hesitating.
They are scared.
They are afraid to send their children.
And some of them, they
they wish if they can go with their
children
over there.
And this is the big purpose
not to send their children.
And some of them,
they calculate
the expenses of the trip and they hesitate
after that. They said, we cannot afford that.
It's too expensive.
And just I will clarify
some points today for all of us to
understand.
When prophet Muhammad, subhanahu alaihi wa sallam, prohibited
us
to start a journey to go
to any Masjid
on earth,
except 3 of them.
And he says,
It's
not Allah for any Muslim to start his
journey
into any Masjid on earth except 3 of
them.
This is the only 3 masaig
we are
allowed
to start our journey toward to visit
them, not in any other masjid on earth.
Even if you say,
it's not allowed. You
might pray in Asr if you already did.
Or if you go in other purpose to
go to Cairo, it's good to go to
bigger Masjid
and to see more Muslims around you in
Jamah.
This is okay. But to start
or blow mask in in Istanbul,
you know, it's amazing mosque, but it's not
allowed for us to start our journey to
go to visit this a certain mosque.
It's not allowed
in Islam.
Except 3 masajid only. Masjid Haram in Mecca,
Masjid Nabawi in Medina, Masjid Aqsa in Palestine.
And,
the purpose is
when you visit these masajid,
you are looking to increase your reward.
And
one single prayer in al Masjid al Haram
a100000
prayers in any other masjid.
One single prayer in a Masjid in Naba,
we equip 1,000 prayer in our Masjid
in Apsar
equip 1,500
prayers
in any other Masjid.
And when we decide to go in Umrah,
for what?
To have fun?
To enjoy our time? It's
obedience
for the sake of Allah
We
are looking
to to be rewarded from Allah
for our trip.
When we go to perform Umrah
in Al Masjid Al Haram,
we might stay for few days.
Few days means you will pray you will
have a chance to pray
multiple time of prayers
over day,
and you will be rewarded
for each time that And
this
And this is the whole point.
And some people will recount
how much I will pay for this cost.
$2,500,
$3,000?
No. I can't. Because
financially, I'm not built,
especially in this time.
I only ask you, all my brothers and
sisters today,
if your child has a scholarship
from his college,
And they told you your child is near,
is very
intelligent
child. And we decided to send him overseas
to have a scholarship with the other college
in the world.
Don't you know that you will be happy
to send your child for 6 months
to study or for 1 year? And this
is the idea.
We do not understand
when we assign our children to send them
in journey
to go to visit Allah's mosque,
Allah's house,
and Makkah to perform Omar. This is the
first point I would like to clarify today
for all of us.
We should not look only
in worldly
reward
for this life. We have to look at
the reward for hereafter.
Insha'allah. 2nd,
and Nabi
do we trust him or not? First of
all, do we love prophet Muhammad?
Do we trust him or not? Because
it will change
our decision.
If we do love him,
we will not care in anything else
therefore than to make him happy with us
in the day of judgment.
When we meet with him,
near to his
river and comfort,
and we will be happy
to talk with him, to stay near to
him, to be in the same level in
paradise
with him.
How come
that we have this big wish
and we are not trusting him in this
life? Because he said, peace be upon him.
Perform had and umrah
next each other
or after each other.
Why,
messaged Abufra?
Why we have to perform had and umrah
after each
other.
Perform Hajj and Umrah
after each hour.
Because
performing Hajj and Umrah
will prevent
poverty,
and the sins
will
protect you from poverty
and sales.
And it might not be clear for some
people. This is the reason prophet Muhammad
gave us the actual example we can figure
out
how the fire will
remove
impurity
from the stuff, from the iron or from
gold or from silver. When we put them
into fire
for what?
To make them pure
iron
or pure gold or pure silver
when we put them into
fire.
And the same idea,
all of us,
we have sense
in our life.
And we were talking last time, we are
not angels.
We are not messengers and the prophets of
Allah. We are human.
And
we might have sins in our life,
and we need to
remove these sins away.
And this is the big reason
to remove sins away from ourselves.
To
perform Hajj and Umrah as much as we
can. I'm not talking about
the obligation Hajj and Umrah
which is once a life.
I'm talking about the extra Hajj and Umrah
we can do in our life.
Like when we have 5 times a day,
we have to pray 5 times a day.
And this is the lowest level
we can pray.
But the door is open
for anyone to increase
his salah or his salah. Even if you
pray a 100 cycles in the day, which
is great, a 1000 cycles in the day,
it's up to you. The same idea.
We are not limited to perform Hajj and
Umrah once alive.
This is
what Allah asked
us, the one who has ability to perform
Hajj and Umrah, they should not hesitate
to do it. Unfortunately,
we still have some rich people, they did
not perform Hajj and Umrah yet. Why?
Do you do you really
guarantee
that you will stay until next year to
perform Hajj or the year after?
No one is guaranteed in this life.
And I'm talking about the extra
in our life.
When we choose to go over there, look
look how Allah subhanahu wa'ala described the one
who choose to go
for the sake
of Allah to go out of his
home or his
hometown.
And this is what I would like to
clarify today.
A lot of us,
we came as an immigrant
to this country.
We choose every couple years to go back
to visit our families, which is great.
It's outstanding.
But I just I would like to grab
it into your intentions
today.
How much we will spend
to take our families to go to visit
their families back home.
You're talking about
maybe 1,000, 2,000 for each
person.
And I'm not against that, just to make
it clear, but I would like to grab
it into your intention.
If you choose to go to visit your
family, which
is good reward
to keep your children
tying with their roots back home.
But
now when you look
to send your children
to perform umrah,
they will help them out to be tied
with the roots of their religion
because
we learn our religion from who? Through prophet
Muhammad
Where did he used to live? He used
to live in Mecca and Madinah. When you
go in Umrah, you will see, you will
look at the places
by your own vigil,
And this is
It's more
certainly
than
the knowledge of yaqeen.
And especially for our youth today,
I have to be clear.
We have some children,
they have doubt in their religion.
They started
asking some
real questions about their religion.
Why we have to be correct related? Why?
What is the purpose? Since you
got some question from your child or your
children,
it's a lot from Allah
It's a warning,
you know. The red light should
blinking.
This is something
we have to take care of. And when
we take our children in Umrah journey,
you know, to help them out,
and they never change their mind.
It will be a big push for our
children to stay firm in their religion because
they will see by their own
vigil
or their own eyes.
And the 3rd point today I would like
to clarify that
when we go in Umrah,
for what?
To show
up or for the sake of Allah
Because
we fear Allah
and we try to be pleased with Allah
and Allah gave us glad tidings in Quran.
Do you think when you go in journey
to perform umrah, you will come back to
your town
more palace
or less fines.
For sure, you will come back
more
palace than before.
And this is the reason why prophet Muhammad
mentioned the one who performed,
Hajj
Mabru,
he will he or she will come back
to their countries,
their towns,
has no sense at all
like the day that they were born.
And
when you go in this journey,
you're trying to increase the level of piety
that you have.
And Allah's heart attack is
and
what?
Who? Means
or vision.
Mean.
Allah
will provide
him or her from
ways.
He never imagined about these ways
before.
Do you trust Allah
or not?
And this is the idea. Because really,
I was disappointed a little bit from some
parents.
You know, I almost begging them. Send your
children.
I promise they will come back
in different
way of their life
to to help them out, to push them
forward
to be a good Muslims
and to be a good followers of prophet
Muhammad,
peace be upon him. This is my request.
We need to rethink
again about our decision.
We might send our children in 3rd trip
or in a can.
They will stay some days outside home.
And why we trust those people to send
our children with them? And why we trust
them
to to sleep over
outside of our houses?
And we do not trust Allah When
we send our children
in the trip
or the journey for the sake of Allah,
we need to train them
how to make their own decision. We need
to help them out,
have to struggle hard to keep themselves
and to
to keep themselves
in the religion of Allah subhanahu wa'ala. Whatever
will happen around them, it doesn't matter for
them because
they
trained themselves
to stay firm in their religion, especially
in the environment that we have to today.
You know? They can learn anything,
anyway,
from anyone.
And there is no filters
to guide them or to show them
the reality of our religion.
And this is just
my last last call for all parents.
Please
take it
seriously,
and make your own decision
to benefit yourself
and benefit your children.
And Allah
is
our witness
and for all of us. This is my
request today
that
performing Umrah and Hajj as much as we
can
will
risk and
why we did not take advantage of this
opportunity. And this is the first time in
town to send
a group
to visit the house of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala, especially for young people. And this is
great idea. Please
support the idea
and be rewarded
to be
supporting for them
financially
or at least
making dua and making supplication for them and
ask
for all of them to be protected
in their life,
to
keep
their religion,
and to live as a believers, and to
die as a Muslims.
Just a very quick announcements
First announcement,
tomorrow,
we have,
family night.
Family night from 6 to 8 at the
Masjid here tomorrow.
It's a means
each family, they will bring their food with
them and they will share.

eat our food for the sake of Allah.
We need to really
have the different idea.
We bring our food and let us
share with others in the around us.
Tomorrow, it will be from 6 till 8
at the masjid. This is Saturday tomorrow.
And this coming Wednesday,
it's, almost half day for most of the

Islamic school, or weekend Islamic school from 6
PM
till 8 PM.
Take your children over there. Stay with them
to supervise them
They will learn about their religion. They will
study about their Islam. They will have a
lot of fun. And just to change their
mind, not to let them go
around the neighbor and to collect chocolate or
candies, we need to change this
attitude for our children.
We will leave them in this country, and
we would like to make sure
they will not go astray after we die.
Please help yourself

The last announcement
very quickly, when I did announcement last Friday,
I said,
like we donated to build the masjid,
we supposed donate
to build
the our youth in the community.
This is what I said. But some brothers,
they took it in wrong way.
I did not. We have to to pay
donation for them. If you are willing to
donate for toward the trip for our youth,
it's okay.
If not, just make supplication for them. They
Allah
will
help them out
to go and come back with the safety
condition, Insha'Allah.
This is my point. I don't like to
my work to to take to be, taken
in wrong way. If you are willing to
