Dear brothers and sisters,
today
I
and we need to change our mind.
It's not a shame
to do mistakes,
but the shame
to stay in the same mistake, not to
change yourself.
And I choose this topic because
I saw in my mask,
there is amount of mistakes
that we're dealing with
every Friday,
and it will be
hard
if you
advise somebody
directly.
And prophet Muhammad,
he told us how to convey the message,
how to deliver the message, how to express
the message
to others
without
making anyone down
or insulting anyone.
Just to give in general
advice
for everybody.
And everyone will
look at himself
or herself
and to say, this is the mistake that
I used to do. I have to change
it my mind and take advantage that Allah
sent somebody
to teach me, and I have to respect
that, and I have to change my way
of life.
I will take it
from the positive way, not from negative way.
Means,
I will have the hadith
to encourage Muslims
so much
to prepare themselves
before Jum'ah prayer
and to have the special
event
for them and their families
on Fridays.
It's not a regular day.
Friday is the holiday
of
weekly
basis.
But we have 2 big holidays,
Eid al Fitri wa Eid al Adha,
and we have also the weekly holiday which
is Friday.
Unfortunately,
some Muslims,
they they do not understand
the bounty of Allah,
the sacred way,
This is the easiest way that prophet Muhammad
used to do
to give in general
advice for everybody.
And everybody will enroll himself or himself
toward the hadith or the advice
from our beloved prophet Muhammad
The hadith
said,
whosoever
wash
himself
and take a shower.
On the day of Jummah, the day of
Friday,
and he came early
as much as he can.
And
he
sit
in the first lines
as much as he can. When you find
the the gap, just fill the gap between
your brothers.
And I'm wondering for the one who comes
early to the mosque and he choose to
sit in the end of the mosque. Why?
SubhanAllah.
Allah honored you, gave you chance
to come early before everybody and you lose
their word to sit in the first line
or the second line or the third line.
This is not good at all,
you know.
To come closer as much as you can
to the first line or the second or
even the third, but do not sit in
the end of the masjid and leave the
the gap in front of the masjid.
To pay to listen carefully for the advance
because this is once a week.
This is an obligation.
This is the reason why you pray 2
cycles only on Friday
because the other 2 rak'ahs,
we have the khutba, we have the speech,
we have the advice,
and this is the idea. If the person
comes to the masjid and he did not
pay attention for the speech,
there is no benefit of this trip to
the masjid.
To pay attention
for the advices
that the imam delivered.
Pay attention carefully because somebody might listen
but he did not pay attention.
And somebody might pay attention
but he did not listen carefully.
And we have to have all of them
together.
And also, prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
mentioned,
wadam yalu.
And he did not become busy with anything
around him.
He did not
read the messages
from his device
or his cell phone or he did not
even make the with the nazdaqa.
Prophet Muhammad sasalalahu wa sallam mentioned,
message, it's not allowed to have it on
Friday time.
You have to cut your relationship with anybody
else outside of the Masjid.
And this is the requirement.
And, you know,
Wamashiaw alam Yaqar,
and he will walk,
and he did not
arrive
to transportation.
What is the word for all these things
that prophet Muhammad
told us?
He will have
pair
each step.
Let's say carefully.
Each step,
he will
walk, he will have
our word for the whole year
for qiyam
and for Siyal.
Somebody will say, this is
too much of words.
And who we are to say, this is
too much for Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he's very generous.
And
if you really claim in this way, we
have the hadith in Sahih al Bukhari
that the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
passed
by as Sayidah Juwaihi.
And
he went outside of his house and came
back after a while, after dukhat,
prayer. And he found her sitting in her
place after Fardul prayer. And he asked her,
did you stay in your place all this
long time? She said yes to Rasulullah.
Of course, I I stay in my place.
And he told her,
I will teach you
few words.
If you ask
by these few words, we'll have more reward
than the time that you spend
since special prayer until
buha prayer.
And prophet Muhammad taught
her
his throne.
How heavy
it
is
among us.
Al Midad the ink
that Allah
has has written
all the decrees
since He created
heavens and the earth until the day of
judgment.
Nobody knows. Even 1
person
who
and who saw the dream.
We should not apply a big foundation for
the dreams but just give you an idea.
And
the angel told him
that we're still writing
the first supplication that you said so many
years ago.
We did not finish it because when you
say
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentioned in the Quran
And they just I try to explain when
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will decide to give
somebody a good reward.
We should not ask why. What we have
few
work
or less work and we have
huge reward from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
I will go through
the sentence of the hadith, what I want
to explain for all of us to understand.
What that means? There is different meaning
or interpretation
for this sentence. Rasal, the first meaning they
said, he washed his head.
Watasal,
he washed his body.
Means to make sure that you clean yourself
very well, 100%.
The second meaning, Rasalah
that
he make ablution, wudu.
He take a shower.
This is the second meaning. Also to make
sure that you clean yourself and your body
very well. The third meaning,
he washed his garment.
Take a shower. To encourage everybody when you
choose to go to the Masjid, you have
to choose the most expensive and the clean
garment that you have ever.
This is the
idea.
Take a shower.
And the 4th meaning of this one,
means he helped his wife to take a
shower when he has relation with his wife.
To lower lower his gaze, and to help
his wife to lower her gaze too. And
this is a lot of benefits.
He helped her to take a shower
because of this action, and he will take
a shower
to prepare himself to go to Jum'ah prayer.
And this is the first sentence of the
hadith.
The second sentence of the hadith,
means
come here. This is the fairest
meaning
because we have Halil ibn Saha'i al Bukhari.
Whosoever
goes to the masjid in the first hour,
he will have their work, wipe down who
slaughtered
a camel, a she camel,
and distribute the meat for needy people.
Where
where their first hour will start,
our scholars explained
we have to come in from
the sunrise
time until Jummah prayer and divide this time
into
5
different
stages.
If you go to the Masjid in the
first hour, which is very early,
you will have worked for that day equal
the one who slaughtered a sheep camel and
distribute the meat for needy people. For 2nd
hour, the one who start who slaughtered
a cow and distribute the meat of cow.
3rd hour, the one who slaughtered a ram,
big ram, or a sheep.
The 3rd
4th hour, the one who slaughtered a chicken.
5th hour, the one who gave an egg
as a donation
for the sake of Allah. After that, prophet
Muhammad mentioned
that the angels
will fill
the record and they will sit to listen
to
the speech from the imam.
Means,
if you choose to come early, which hour
you will come to the masjid.
If you choose to come late,
you'll you will not have a word for
Dhammar prayer, but you will you will drop
the responsibility
from your shoulders.
And this is the idea. If we choose
to come early, we will have we will
be rewarded according to how many hours that
we choose to come early.
This is the first me me meaning. The
second meaning,
that prophet
first her.
Will not
pass
the donation
means
to do any kind of donation
on Friday.
This
recommended.
And this is the second meaning,
and ba'qur
means
the first.
Thing of the fruits
comes in the beginning of the season. They
called it an baqura.
Baqur means he came early before the khutba
start, at least.
We are not looking at 1 hour of
the 5th
5 hours,
but at least
he will attend
to the masjid before khutba start.
This is the meaning.
Comes early as much as he can. At
least,
he comes before Khutba started.
And the 3rd sentence
in this hadith today
that prophet Muhammad
mentioned,
He walked and he did not arrive
a car or a bus or whatever.
Why? What is the benefit for that?
It's not an easy task
to come to the masjid.
Even if we are able to drive and
come to the masjid, most of us came
late.
And most of us just come to catch
the prayer with the imam.
Subhanallah.
And we have to think in different way.
Why prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam mentioned
Masha Waddam Yarkam
to make sure he will not arrive
anything. He will walk. Why?
Because it's
a look like
as a Hajj
when Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala mentioned to Prophet
Ibrahim
to call out for people and they will
respond back and they will come to perform
Hajj
walking.
Some people used to mention that to say
the men will come to perform Hajj. How
about women?
It's not men.
Means they will walk
to come to perform Hajj, and this is
more harder
for them to go to Hajj walking.
Now
we will go to Hajj flying
and it's still difficult for somebody.
How about if the person choose to go
to visit Allah's house in Mecca?
Walking.
Do you think he will have the same
reward for the one who flew to the
Mecca? No?
The one who walked. He will have more
difficulties
in his life and he will receive more
reward from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. We will
show respect
for Allah azza wa jal. When we choose
to come to Friday
walking,
you know, somebody might take it as a
joke.
But this is the this is the the
the idea we need to learn.
Help me show respect
for Allah's house and for Allah's religion.
Yeah. I'm not encourage anyone to leave your
car at home or at at your job
and just come walking to the mosque. No.
Just I tried to say,
you know, if you really
gave more time for the sake of Allah,
Allah will never waste
the time that you gave for the sake
of *. And this is the idea. When
we come early and sit in our place
waiting for salah, we are in the salah
because prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi mentioned,
You can see somebody came early and he
tried to waste his time talking and socializing
with other people until the imam acclaimed the
member and he will start to come.
SubhanAllah,
don't lose a single moment
that you spend already for the sake of
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. When you come to
the masjid, come hear me.
Choose to come to the first line,
you know.
Even the other hadith mentioned, if they they
they are not able to sit and find
the spots for everybody, they will make a
draw
or like
a letter
between them to draw their name who's
able to come first and said the first
in the first line.
You know, I'm wondering when somebody really came
early and sit back in the in the
end of the masjid. Why?
Don't you know that when you sit back
that you
you you do not need the word from
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala? You are not in
need of reward. This is the reason you
sit back and just lay down on the
on the wall back there and they said,
I came
What do you want more than this? Subhanallah.
You came for yourself,
not for somebody else.
You came to release your neck from her
fire.
You came to increase your level in paradise.
This is for you, not for body not
nobody else.
And this is the idea.
The 4th sentence of the hadith,
I will go through it.
Walam yalu,
he did not
make
himself busy with anything around him.
Like I mentioned in the beginning,
we have some brothers when he got the
message
into his cell phone. So it's okay
to
check his message and sometime he might, you
know, respond back and write, you know, brief
sentence,
you know, like somebody
used to work to to to talk and,
by phone. Subhanallah.
And during the hot one. And we have
to show respect.
And this is what we need to learn.
The idea
how much that we respect Allah
Even somebody when you candidate
and they say, assalamu alaykum, this is wrong.
This is incorrect
at all.
You know, when we start, la salaam, laqalam,
aqabli salaam, this is a normal way. There
is no
word allowed to say before you say peace
be upon
you. But when you come to the masjid,
especially on Fridays,
it's not allowed to say assalamu alaikum. You
know why?
Because you show respect for people more than
the Lord of people.
We have to pray Turakah first when we
come to the salaam
on Friday. We have to pray Turakah, the
hiyatul Masjid. When we finish, we have to
sit
in the gap that will available for us
and not to talk
even not to respond
for somebody talk to you
because the salah for both of them will
be
invalid.
The
the one who said and
the one who respond back to him.
Even more,
if you find somebody making noise
and you try to advise him to say,
listen, please be quiet.
Both of you of you, your salah is
incorrect are incorrect.
And this is we need to learn. Subhanallah.
I know it's
hard, but the world is much bigger from
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Just to make summary
for what I mentioned today,
Really, if we we have to be more
wise, it's once a week.
And it's a free reward from Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala
just to show respect
and show interest
in Allah's words.
You will be rewarded from Allah
to take a shower,
or
to
to to wash your head and wash your
body or wash your your clothes means to
choose
a very nice clean clothes for government
and to come early as much as you
can.
I'm not saying leave your your job on
Friday and come to the masjid after fajr
prayer and stay at the masjid until tomorrow
prayer. No. This is this is your condition
and you you know about your condition more
than anybody else. But do we need Allah's
word or not?
Do we need Allah's mercy or not?
And this is do we need
the forgiveness from Allah or not?
And this is will help us out to
make a wise decision in our life, especially
on Fridays.
When we come, we come every as much
as we can. We sit in the first
lines
as much as we can
not to talk, not to respond to anyone,
even
who's this person?
Just no one will have more respect than
Allah
When we learn this way,
we will change our situations.
People do on Fridays.
Prayer.
This is the the first one. We will
learn together insha Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And
we have to be thankful that Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala helped us out and sent somebody
to teach us and to help us out
to be a role models in our religion
and to be a good followers of our
beloved prophet Muhammad
Dear brothers and sisters,
look like my reward wasn't clear for somebody.
You know? Just to be clear,
when we come to Damascus,
we have to face the Kaaba. When we
sit, we have to sit toward the Kaaba,
like, when we pray exactly
out of respect
for the place that we are in.
When we come, we have to move forward
as much as we can to touch our
brothers who sit in the first line. Please,
I ask my brothers, all of you, just
come for war and leave the gap back
there for the one who will come late.
But for you, you came early already. And,
you have to be thankful to Allah and
fit fit
in the gap that you have in front
of you because it's not from the sunnah
to climb above the shoulders of your brothers
who's sitting before you and also to sit
toward the Kaaba. You know, for some brothers,
they
change their faces to other direction. 1,
Just we need to show
respect for Allah Asojan.
We need to tell Allah that we are
in need of your work. Please
shower us with with your mercy. Give us
a big reward for the time that we
spend
at your house.
You know, just
as a reminder for all of us.
And we should not feel
ashamed
that we did something wrong in the past.
Nothing wrong with that.
As long as we will change our way
to change to the best condition that we
can do in our
in this in in these small stones.
And the idea is if you make yourself
busy with any,
think different than the khutbah,
you have no reward for your khutbah.
And this is for my sisters,
especially for my sisters and my brothers.
Don't communicate with anyone.
Don't socialize with anyone except with Allah Subhanahu
Wa'ala. You can make tasbih, make istighfar,
recite Quran in yourself,
and don't bother
our people around you. And this is you
know, I hope that my message was clear
today for everybody. We need to learn
and we need to apply
the rules that prophet Muhammad
taught us.
We should not be shy if we did
some mistakes in the past. It's okay.
But we have to be proud that we
listen and we obey Allah and we obey
Rasulullah hissalalahu alaihi wa sallam and we change
our conditions. Allah will be happy with us.
