AI: Summary ©
When we look at all messengers and the
prophets of Allah,
before prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi wasallam,
Allah revealed
to them
the revelations
and their job
to convey the revelations
directly to their people.
That's it.
Whatever Allah revealed to them,
and
they
convey the message
that Allah revealed to them.
No less,
no more.
But our prophet Muhammad
is different.
Allah revealed
to him the Quran
and what
else
and the sunnah.
Sunnah
of Rasulullah
is revelation.
But Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, gave prophet Muhammad,
subhanahu wa sallam, a chance
to deliver the message in his own way.
But in the end,
we are obligated
to follow the sunnah of Rasulullah,
some of whom
are obligated to follow the Quran.
The same.
There is no difference.
And we have a verse in the Quran
that Allah mentioned
in the chapter of Al Hash,
verse number 7,
that Allah
says,
Without a limit.
There is no limit
from prophet Muhammad, salallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Whatever he will
gave us,
we have to take it.
The ayat says,
and whatsoever
the messenger of Allah,
prophet Muhammad, salam alaihi wa sallam,
gives you, take it.
100%.
And whatsoever
that messenger of Allah, prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi
wa sallam, forbids
you
and avoid
it completely,
100%,
and feel
Allah.
Allah is
severe
of punishment.
If somebody really
have a thought
that
it's okay
to reject
1 hadith
or to reject 1 sunnah.
It's not the end of the world.
No. It is the end of the world
for us as a believers,
as a follower
of prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Because
we have
the sunnah
as a source of our religion
as the Quran.
A sunnah. 1 Quran
Quran.
And if we have some people claim
that they are Muslims,
but
they are not agree with the sunnah,
we have to
to put question mark
on those people. Why?
They will say because the Quran is true,
Allah's words.
But the sunnah, we are not sure if
Allah doesn't need
your help to protect his religion.
He is able to protect his religion by
himself, almighty
when we read in the Quran
to pray,
fine. How to pray?
When we read in the Quran,
which kind of salah we we would like
to
to make.
We have a lot of salah.
Wasn't mentioned in the Quran.
Salah is the start.
Salah al Janazah.
All these kind of prayers,
we never heard about it. Who
told us
to perform these kind of prayers,
our beloved prophet Muhammad
And the sunnah,
it's in general world,
has different
type of actions
from prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. It
could be
his saying,
a sunnatqabliyah,
or his action,
or
that he was agree with the companions to
do something, and he did not correct them.
It's become sunnah for us to do.
To him and obey him.
Subhanallah.
And Abu Mutluk.
It's in general command
from Allah Subhanahu Wa'ala
to love and to follow our beloved prophet
Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. There is no
doubt for that.
And even prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi himself,
he talk he told us
1400
years ago
about this kind of evil.
They called themselves al Fur Aniyi.
He told us about
them. And he says, some of 'alhisattam,
the one of them will lay down on
his chair
and to say
when he receive hadith from Rasulullah,
what
they are saying
today, it's a big evidence
that prophet Muhammad
he is the messenger of Allah because he
taught us
1400
years ago about those kind of people
to reject the and to accept only the
Quran.
And for
us, how to plead
these bad ideas,
How to eliminate
them? Because our scholars, they they said,
when you revive a sunnah,
you will eliminate innovation
in the other hand.
When you revive innovation,
you will
eliminate the sunnah in the other hand.
And we need to re choose
which group we would like to go with
to make akhiyah for the sunnag of our
beloved prophet Muhammad or
to make akhiyah for
al Bida or for Rafat.
We have to ask ourselves how to make
it.
I will answer you. It's very simple way
for all of us.
If we really honest with Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala and with ourselves,
it will be very very easy for all
of us
to make ahiyah
for sunan Nabiya Salam Muhammadu alayhis salam. How
we will do that?
Simple way.
We have 3, 4
hours every day.
We choose to put some time
for work,
some time for sleep, some time for a
rest,
sometime for fun, whatever.
If we pay attention
in our life
because there is no a single action in
our life,
we have no evidence from Prophet Muhammad salallahu
alaihi wa sallam for it.
We have every single action we will do
in our life
that Prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam did.
For anything, just put put
any idea in your mind.
You will have a proof
and the evidence
that prophet Muhammad did the same action that
you are doing right now.
When we eat,
he told
a young boy, Sayyidna Abdul Haydn Abbas.
Young boy I mean young boys,
we have a lot of young boys are
running at the masjid,
and they are
not learning
from the Hadid Nabi
where are their parents
to teach them.
This is what prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa
sallam used to do
for young
men and women.
Just train them
how to behave themselves inside the house of
Allah,
almighty Allah.
How to show respect
for Allah's house. How
All young boy, mention a Muslim when you
start eating.
How many times that we remind our children
when we sit on the table to eat?
If we didn't, we
are following the sunnah of Rasulillahi sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam now
to remind your children, you know, mention Allah's
name, say
in the beginning,
and eat by your right hand.
And eat from your side, not from other
side of the plate.
And this is how many sunnah that we
did now? 3 of them, subhanahu wa'ala. And
all of them related to our beloved prophet
Muhammad See how it's easy to to convey
and to
obtain the rest the sunnah of Rasulullah, alaihis
salaam, but we need to pay attention for
that.
When we go to our beds,
you know, lay down on right side. Some
people will say, I can't.
I I sleep on right side. It's okay.
Just do it for a few minutes to
say the supplication and you have you will
be
free after that to to sleep on right
side or left side. It's okay. But just
pay attention.
In the beginning of your sleep,
you will sleep on your right side. Put
your right hand under your head and say,
this without me.
In that moment,
you are following your beloved prophet Muhammad salallahu
alaihi wasallam. How many of us dream that
every single night?
Subhanallah.
Even
the parents we forgot to to to do
it.
How come for our children that they will
do it by themselves?
Unless
if somebody
told them to do it every single night,
when they grow, they will already memorize, you
will engrave in their memories
the sunnah of Rasulullah
You submit yourself completely to Allah
Oh, Allah,
if you
take my soul out of my body, if
this is my last night,
please shower me with your with your mercy.
But if you get me chance
to wake up tomorrow morning
and protect me like you protected
all righteous
servants,
How many of us
practicing
this sunnah every single night,
even when we wear our clothes,
subhanallah.
When we meet each other, how many times
we smile toward each other?
Some people will say, are you crazy? No.
I'm not crazy.
I'm following my beloved prophet Muhammad
because he encouraged all of us.
When you smile toward your brother, you will
gain a good deed.
How many times that we lost? How many
times that we lose
every single day a lot of good deeds?
Because
we neglect the sunnah of our prophet,
Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam. If we pay
attention
for every single action in our life,
we will be very rich
in hasanat,
in good deeds.
And it's just it's up to you because
the prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam told
us
If I forbid you
for something, you have to avoid it completely,
100%.
There is no excuse for anyone to say
I can't quit
smoking
or I can't quit
drinking
the wine, or I can't quit
commit adultery.
There is no excuse.
Don't say I can't because
For prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he
told us,
when I command you to do something,
do as much as you can.
You will be excuse.
For example,
if I'm I'm not able to pray standing,
it's okay.
But I cannot quit prayer.
I can pray sitting
or laying down
on the bed,
but there is no excuse to say I
can't pray.
And this is the idea. All of us,
we are required
to choose some sunan of Rasool Ilahi, suballahu
alaihi salam. Whatever you prefer, it's it's up
to you. I agree with you. Yeah. Whatever
you feel comfortable,
what you whatever you feel proud to make
it, do it.
To assign
1 or 2 or 10 or 100 sunnah
or and
practice them every single day. Trust me.
After a while,
you will feel that you are missing something
if you do not practice that later on.
Like when you breathe,
if if you
have some cold or you have some illness,
you cannot breathe normally,
you will not feel happy.
And the same idea,
when you practice the sun al of Rasulillah,
the legal ways of Rasulillah,
and when you miss them one day,
you you will feel that you're missing
big thing in your life.
And we choose any sun. We have a
lot a lot of them because
they can
All of us, we have neighbors around us.
Muslim or non Muslims. How he used to
deal with he his beloved ones.
Even how he used to to deal with
his enemies
in his life, subhanahu wa.
Oh,
everybody testified for him. Even his enemies,
peace be among them. And we need to
revive his sunnah.
Go away from me. Go away from me
because
they did something.
They created something
in you, in his religion,
and they
practice something differently
than what he used to practice, salallahu alaihi
wa sallam.
If we are true believers,
if we are true
follower of followers of prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi
wa sallam, we need to understand
and we need to be very careful.
Our life is very short.
And if we lose a single day or
a single hour or a single minute,
there is no chance
to return it back again.
And we need to be very serious
to take
the sunnah of Rasulullah. I'm not saying we
will not
do it
perfectly
as much as we can. I will be
able to do 1 sunnah every day, alhamdulillah.
I will be able to do 10 sunnah,
alhamdulillah.
That you will might be able to do
a 100 sunnah every day. It's up to
you. But let us
change
our way of
life according to our teachings of Quran
and our sunnah with our prophet Muhammad sallallahu
ahi wa sallam.
Choose some and promise Allah.
Or how I will deal with the people
around me.
And by itself,
you are
practicing the
When you practice, when you imitate someone,
means that you love him.
And Allah
commanded us to love him.
That you honor him. And Allah commanded us
to honor prophet Muhammad
commanded us to honor prophet Muhammad, salamu alayhi
wasalam. And just it's it's very simply for
all of us,
but we need to start
from our heart, from our mind, from our
chest to say, this is what I will
promise Allah with, and I will do that.
1, 2, 10, 100, sunnah everyday,
and just
do it
continuously,
and Allah
will help you out. Allah will will bring
joy
into your life
because
you show respect
for our beloved
prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
You raise your voice.
This is the sunnah of Rasulullah.
You know, a lot of people, they try
to imitate
strange people in their life,
And be proud of their actions.
And we should
be proud
that we are imitating
our our beloved prophet Muhammad
Don't be shy to do that.
Don't be afraid to do that because
Allah
mentioned,
Allah
will protect
his beloved prophet Muhammad
and he did, and he did, and will
protect anyone who choose to imitate him in
his life or their life.
This is my message today for myself, my
brothers, my sisters. We need to understand
the legal ways of Prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi
wa sallam, and we need to practice
in our life.
We need to
feed our children
the love
of Prophet Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam. Because
if they learn how to love him, how
to
honor him,
they will be easily
raised as a pious and righteous.
And this is our goal in this life,
to help our children
as much as we can, and they will
help us when we die.
To put them
into correct bath
as much as we can.
And Allah
will complete
it for us.
May Allah
forgive all of us, and may Allah
help all of us to be our role
models for our children and for our religion,
and to imitate our beloved prophet Muhammad
and
to gather all of us with him in
the highest level
Just a very good announcement. Please give me
one minute before you leave. Just, relate to
the children at the masjid,
it's good idea, hand to the to have
our children with us at the masjid.
But
just we need to listen carefully, please,
for the parents who has a children
to come to the masjid,
especially on Friday.
We prepare downstairs
completely for the parents who has children.
You can choose
to keep your child. You you can look
at the picture, masha'Allah,
Allah. I'm so happy
to see the parents. They have their children
next to them. It's you you have to
be proud of your child that he sat
next to you
to absorb
the salah and to learn how to imitate
our beloved
prophet Muhammad But
if you cannot control your child,
please
take him or her downstairs.
We have the whole area downstairs
prepared
for the one who has the children with
them or with her. We have a place
for sisters, and we have a place for
brothers

operation
account really. It's not strong enough.

$5,
$10,
$20,
whatever
you feel comfortable, do it and put in
the box or in the safe, insha Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala for the sake of Allah
Even if you do it every single day,
why not? When Allah gave us the chance
to have, you know, the upper hand,
it's much better than the lower hand.
The upper hand is much better than the
lower hand. Upper hand means to give all
the time, to give, not to take.
And just keep in mind, the the masjid,
especially during the winter,
you know,
draining a lot a lot of of expenses.
Just keep in mind to keep the house
of Allah
clean, to keep the house of Allah, you
know, to to to maintain the house of
Allah all the time. And don't tell anyone
how much did you donate. You you made
it for the sake of Allah subhanahu. Don't

how much that you would like to donate.
This is between you and Allah subhanahu. The
