00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			Dear brothers and sisters,
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:27
			today I will be talking about
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			the importance
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31
			of the masajids
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			for Muslim communities.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:34
			Or
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:36
			I will be talking about
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			the role of masajid
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			to elevate
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41
			Muslim communities,
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			the significance
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			of masajid
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			in Muslim society,
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			just to realize
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			the importance of Masakid.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			When we compare
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			the Masjid of Allah
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			with any other places
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			in the world,
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			there is no way
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06
			to compare them
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			or to compare
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09
			between them.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			This is the reason
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			why prophet Muhammad
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			mentioned
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16
			the most beloved
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			places
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			to Allah
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			are the masajid,
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:24
			And the most hated play places to Allah
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			are the markets
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27
			or the malls,
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			the business places.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			And look at yourself.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			Which place that you prefer
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			to go.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			If you have a free time in your
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			schedule,
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			do you prefer to go to the Masjid
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			or to go to somewhere else?
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			And this is
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			easy to judge
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			yourself.
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			And don't blame anyone.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:56
			We should not blame anyone except ourselves.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			And when we look at
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			when Allah
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			named the masajid,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			belongs to himself.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11
			Indeed, all masajid
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			belongs to Allah.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			Do not invoke anyone
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			with Allah.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			And our prophet Muhammad
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			mentioned,
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			when you see a man
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			comes to the Masjid and often times,
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			how many?
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35
			Once a day
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:40
			or twice or three times or five times.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			It's up to you.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			We are not Christians
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			to come to to come to the masjid
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			once a week
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			because this is the teachings of Christianity
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			to come to
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			the church once a week on Sunday
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			or Judaism.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:01
			They come they
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			come to the synagogue
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			once a week which is on Saturday.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			But we have to come to the masargists
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11
			every single day in our life.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:16
			And when somebody say, I know that I
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			will be able to pray, inshallah, at home
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:21
			or work, and this is not my point
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:21
			today.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			You know, we will not argue in this
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25
			point.
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:27
			We will leave this point away,
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			and we will concentrate
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:30
			in our point
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:31
			beyond
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:32
			that.
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			When we choose not to come to the
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:36
			Masjid,
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:38
			how
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			how much of reward
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			we will lose every single day
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:45
			even if we pray at home. I agree.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47
			Just, you know, to pray,
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			anywhere, it's much better than
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			nothing.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			But this is not my point.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:57
			Just to clarify it for all of
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59
			us. And
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			we will agree together in the end of
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			the
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			and we will look at ourselves and our
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07
			conditions.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			Are we really
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:10
			in need
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:11
			of Allah's word?
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			Are we really in need in Allah's house
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:15
			or not?
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:18
			And this is we will figure it out
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:21
			later on, insha'Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Allah Subhanahu
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
			Wa Ta'ala says,
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			Indeed, the one who maintains
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32
			Allah's houses,
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			the one who believes in Allah,
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:37
			Remember this verse
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			and compare it or
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			combine it with the hadith of Rasulillah
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:43
			salallahu
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:44
			alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:52
			When you see a man coming and oftentimes
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			to the masjid, you have to testify
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			for him that he is a good believer.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:01
			These are two statements now.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			There is no complicated in our religion.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			Subhanallah. It's very simple way, but we need
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			to understand
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:18
			our correct religion.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			And
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			even if he choose to do something bad,
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			but he choose to come to Allah's houses,
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			Allah will wipe out.
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:31
			Allah will
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:32
			expiate
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:36
			whatever he has done before the tide of
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37
			salah.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			And the prophet Muhammad mentioned,
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:54
			Prophet Muhammad gave
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			us an example.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			If you have a river in front of
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			your own door
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:03
			and you wash yourself 5 times a day
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:04
			into the river,
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:06
			do you think
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:09
			there is some impure stuff will stay on
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:12
			your stay on your on your on your
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			body or your skin?
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:14
			No.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:15
			Of course.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19
			You will clean up your body and your
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			skin and your heart.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22
			And he explained,
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:26
			this is the example of salam, the example
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:27
			of prayers.
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			And to maintain the masjid,
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:35
			there is a physical maintaining, which is to
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:36
			build the masajid,
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:40
			the walls and the doors and the windows
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:41
			and and the actual building.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:43
			And the other
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			wing of maintaining masajid,
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:48
			which is the spiritual
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:49
			maintaining
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:50
			to come
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:52
			into the masajid
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53
			and to build
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			the lines
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			inside the masajid and to build the communities
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			and to build the the families
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			at the masajids. This is the the meaning
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			of maintaining masajid.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			And when we come to the masajid,
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13
			look at the Muslims at the masajid
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:15
			with
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:17
			the different abilities,
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19
			different languages,
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			different backgrounds,
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:22
			different colors.
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:24
			And
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:28
			you might find the the one who is
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:32
			very rich and the one who is very
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:32
			poor,
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:34
			the one who is very knowledgeable,
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37
			and the one who has nothing of knowledge,
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			the one he is old and the one
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:43
			he is young. They line up, all of
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:46
			them, in the same line behind the same
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47
			imam,
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:48
			reciting the same Quran,
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			listening the same recitation,
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			facing the same direction,
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:56
			Allahu Akbar. And this is the actual training,
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:59
			physical training for all of us to be
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			united.
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:04
			Tell me how you will be reunited
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:07
			if you choose to pray by yourself alone
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			at your home or at your work or
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:11
			at your job. How?
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:14
			How many time that you have a chance
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:15
			to come to the Masjid?
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:18
			How many time that you have a chance
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:18
			to recharge
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21
			your iman and your faith
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			and your spiritual life?
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:26
			And the prophet Muhammad
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:28
			when we look
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:30
			how Allah
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31
			commanded him
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:35
			the first actions or the first real actions
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:36
			that he has done
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			when he arrived into Madinah,
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:42
			even before Madinah, when he arrived into Qibah.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			It's a few miles away from Madinah.
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			He he he built the masjid.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51
			Masjid Qibah. And if you go over there
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:54
			in Madinah al Mikwadu and go to Masjid
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			Qibah, pray Turaga, you will have the complete
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:59
			reward of Umrah. This is the hadith of
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Why?
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:05
			Even after 2 weeks, he moved to the
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:06
			Madinah.
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09
			When the companions tried to receive
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:12
			him and to welcome him, everybody was excited
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:13
			to take prophet
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:17
			into his house. But he said, no.
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			Don't guide the shikamal
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			because Allah
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:23
			will guide shikamal.
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:28
			Do not disturb shikamal because Allah
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:29
			inspired her
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:32
			to find the place that we will put
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			the foundation of the masjid.
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:39
			And the first action he has done
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41
			to build the masjid before
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:44
			even shelters his companions,
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:45
			before
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:46
			making prophethood
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
			between
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:50
			immigrants and the the helpers of Rasulullah
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			because
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:55
			he knows the importance of the masjid.
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			And he started with the masjid.
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			We have the masjid, alhamdulillah.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:00
			We are blessed.
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:04
			But how many people attended to the masjid?
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			How many families
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08
			they choose? If you have a chance to
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:11
			go somewhere with your family or to go
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:12
			to the Masjid in the house of Allah
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:13
			alaihi alaihi.
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			Which place that you will prefer to go?
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:20
			And this is just very simple way. Don't
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21
			don't really complain.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			You have to understand the situation
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25
			by yourself.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:27
			And we have a different very difficult situation
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:29
			here, you know, because
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:33
			everything is available for people to to get
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:34
			it,
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			good or bad.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:38
			All the the gates
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:40
			are opened.
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:42
			Whatever you ask for,
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45
			you will have it, good or bad.
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:48
			And when when we look at
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:52
			the verse that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala mentioned,
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:00
			For there there are some houses
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gave permission
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:03
			to be raised
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:05
			and and to be built.
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
			For what?
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:11
			To mention Allah's names in these buildings which
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			is the houses of Allah.
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:15
			When you choose to come to the masalaq,
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:17
			what you will have?
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			And this is the reason why prophet Muhammad
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:24
			mentioned the most beloved places to the Ama
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:26
			A R the masjid. Why?
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:29
			What you will have at the masjid?
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31
			You know? You will have angels,
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			and you will have the mercy of Allah.
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			You will have the tranquility,
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38
			the sakinah
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			came from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:44
			And Allah will mention your name in the
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:46
			almara il a'la, subhanallah.
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49
			You will never find all these
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:53
			good things in any other place except the
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:54
			masarid.
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:56
			Even if you have
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			a Quranic house,
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:01
			if all of you memorize the Quran
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:03
			and all of you recite the Quran
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:05
			247 at your house,
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:07
			you will not have
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:10
			the same fractures
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:11
			that
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:13
			the masajid of Allah
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:14
			have.
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:17
			When the people come together
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:19
			in the masajid,
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:22
			the hadith mentioned in the houses of Allah
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:24
			to recite the Quran
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:27
			and to understand the interpretations of
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:29
			verses of the Quran,
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:31
			the angel
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:33
			will be around them.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:35
			And the tranquility
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:37
			from Allah
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:39
			will be
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:41
			spreaded around them.
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:43
			And the mercy of Allah.
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:46
			Allah will shower them with his mercy.
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:49
			And Allah will mention their names
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:52
			in the much, much, much better
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:54
			place than
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:57
			the place that they are in, which is
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:01
			the group of angels in Al Mera in
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:02
			Adar.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:03
			And
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:06
			only one cycle
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			of salah, one rakah of salah
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12
			will train us how to be kind,
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:14
			how to be nice,
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:16
			how to be united
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:19
			more than
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:21
			tens of books
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
			or tens of lectures.
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			Because we might know
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:28
			the ruling of Islam,
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:31
			but actually we did not practice the ruling
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:34
			of Islam. We might memorize the Quran,
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			but actually we did not practice the Quran.
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39
			We did not live
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:41
			the the the life of the Quran.
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:44
			And this is the idea.
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			We will live
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			the actual Quran when we come to the
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			masajid, when we deal with one another,
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			when we help one another, when we support
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:54
			one another.
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:00
			And the Mas'id,
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:03
			it will be the big
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:05
			tool
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:06
			to elevate Muslim
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:08
			communities everywhere.
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:13
			If the person choose to stay home, stay
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:14
			up stay away from the masjid
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:15
			and
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:18
			not to help his children to come to
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:18
			the masjid,
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:22
			look what what will happen later on. When
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:23
			the children grow
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:25
			and they graduated
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			and they started their own life
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:29
			with their own houses,
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
			you force them to stay away from Allah's
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:34
			houses. And
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:36
			it will be so difficult
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:40
			to break the ice between them and Allah's
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:40
			houses.
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:42
			But when you give them a chance,
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:46
			when you train them when they were young
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:47
			and to
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:50
			encourage them to come to the Abbas houses
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:51
			everywhere.
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:53
			It will be easy for them
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:56
			even when they get lost in the middle
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:57
			of the jungle,
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:01
			when they get lost with a lot of
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:03
			shuhubat shuhuwal al shuhuwalat.
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:05
			Their nature
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:10
			of Islam will help them out to come
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			back to Allah's house one day,
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:14
			even if we passed away.
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:15
			We will
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:17
			we will train them
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:19
			how to reach the Masjid.
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			We taught them
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			the address of the Masjid
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:25
			in the town.
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:26
			And,
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:29
			really, I'm wondering from the one who complaining
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:32
			that his children didn't listen to him.
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			How many times that you bring them to
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			the mosque in your life? Unfortunately,
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:38
			we have a lot of Muslims
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:39
			in the town,
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:40
			but
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:42
			we do not know
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:44
			anyone of their except the one who comes
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:46
			to the mosque, who choose to come to
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:47
			Allah's house.
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:49
			When you see people
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:52
			line up in the in the wines for
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:53
			the salah,
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:56
			We will train ourselves
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:58
			how to be patient,
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:00
			how to be kind,
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:02
			how really to
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:05
			to take care of the people around you,
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:06
			how to
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:09
			to ask about somebody if you missed,
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:12
			or somebody will ask about you if they
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			missed you.
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:15
			And this is from the masa'at,
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			from the houses of Allah
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:20
			And
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:22
			told us in the Quran,
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:23
			oh, mankind,
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:29
			feel your Lord,
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:31
			the one who created you from the same
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:32
			soul.
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:35
			The beginning of Surah Al Iza.
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:36
			And the other verse,
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:38
			it's really
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			will help all of us out to understand
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:42
			our mission in this life.
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:44
			All you who believe,
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:56
			There is a one opinion.
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:01
			You know, when you hear the adel, when
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:03
			you hear call for prayers,
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:05
			what
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:06
			is your reaction?
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:10
			And I'm asking myself and my brothers and
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:11
			sisters today,
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:13
			when we hear Allahu Akbar,
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:15
			what
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:16
			is our reaction?
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:20
			There is a righteous
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:24
			man. He used to work as a blacksmith,
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:27
			the one who is working with the fire
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:28
			to melt the iron.
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			And he used to hold the hammer, the
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:31
			big hammer.
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:35
			And he heard Abu Akbar while raising his
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:37
			hand holding the hammer.
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:39
			For us,
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:40
			when we hear Adam,
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			should we go to the masjid?
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			Or at least should we stop our work
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:47
			and say we're gonna pray
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:48
			or what?
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:51
			A lot of us will say, Insha'Allah, I
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:52
			will finish what I have in my hand,
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			and I will let you pray later on.
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:58
			Our religion is easy religion. You know, didn't
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:00
			even have it. I agree.
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:02
			Listen carefully.
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:04
			Most of us,
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:05
			we might forget
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:08
			to pray on time. We got busy with
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:11
			some some other stuff. Oh, subhanAllah,
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:14
			I did not pray. But it's too late.
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:15
			There is no excuse
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:19
			for you because you have a chance to
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:20
			pray on the time when you hear the
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:23
			ada. And this righteous man, when he used
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			to hold the hammer up
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:28
			and he heard the adhan, he throw it
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:29
			from the back.
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			And somebody asked him, why you did not
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34
			just hit the last one and go to
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:36
			the prayer? He said, no. I hit Allahu
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:39
			Akbar. Means Allah is much bigger from anything
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:40
			in our life.
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:43
			And Allah is Akbar from my job, from
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:46
			my family, from my side, even from my
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:49
			beloved one. And this is the the mentality
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:50
			that we need to learn today.
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:54
			And he threw it after behind his back,
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:55
			and he went to the salah
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:58
			because nobody knows we will remain until we
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:00
			finish our job and to be able to
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			pray after that or not.
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:04
			And
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:04
			the idea
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:07
			about the topic today,
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:10
			we will not be able to be united
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:12
			as a strong
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:14
			Muslim community
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:17
			unless if we choose to go to Allah's
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			house and start from that point,
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			start from there, from Allah's house.
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:25
			We have to make the house of Allah
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:25
			as a landmark
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:27
			in our city,
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:31
			in our life, in our heart, for our
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:33
			children and our families.
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:33
			Allah
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:37
			mentioned in the Quran
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:38
			that
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:41
			we have our lord,
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:44
			and we are related to one father. And
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:52
			Allah mentioned that he created us from the
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:53
			same source,
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:55
			from one
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57
			soul, one nafs.
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:03
			And when you feel that you are worshipping
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:05
			the same Lord
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			and all of us as a servant
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:10
			in the sight of
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:13
			of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, in the eyes
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:14
			of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:16
			we will not
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:18
			feel more superior
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:18
			at at
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:21
			in other people around us.
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:23
			We will be we will make ourselves
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			on front of our Lord.
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:27
			And this is the reason
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:28
			when Allah
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:30
			mentioned, oh, mankind,
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:34
			we created you from male and female, and
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:36
			we made you as a tribes and nations
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:38
			for one purpose,
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:42
			to know one another and support one another.
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:49
			The most superior among you, the one who
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:50
			fears Allah
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:53
			And this is the reason why prophet Muhammad
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:53
			mentioned
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:56
			the amazing hadith.
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:57
			And he said,
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:58
			O people,
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:04
			O all people,
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:05
			indeed,
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:08
			your lord is 1 and your father is
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:09
			1.
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:10
			And
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:18
			There is no more superior for Arabs upon
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:19
			Arabs
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:21
			except with
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:22
			piety
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:25
			and righteous good deeds. And this is what
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:30
			we have to learn today from the topic,
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:32
			the role of the masajid
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:33
			to elevate
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:34
			Muslim communities.
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:36
			And,
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:38
			you know, we we have a lot of
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40
			hope in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:43
			Allah will not change our bad situations
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:46
			unless if we choose to change our situations.
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:54
			This is the chance that Allah gave us.
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:57
			We are blessed that we have the masjid
		
00:24:57 --> 00:25:00
			already. We have a a a unique masjid
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			in the town. We have very beautiful masjid.
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:03
			But unfortunately,
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:05
			we do not have
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:07
			the audience of the masjid,
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:09
			the one who choose to maintain
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:10
			himself
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:12
			spiritually
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:15
			inside the Masjid. And I hope that Allah
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:17
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will help all of us
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:19
			out to rethink
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:20
			and to do our
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:24
			correct decision in our life
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:27
			for the few days or few years that
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:27
			Allah
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:30
			gave us to remain in this life, just
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:31
			to take advantage.
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:44
			How many children that you have? How old
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:44
			are they?
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			How many of them that you bring them
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:49
			to the message come on your on on
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:51
			your fingers? How many
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:54
			time? 0 or maybe one
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:56
			time or maybe 10 times.
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:00
			SubhanAllah. I know some brothers, every single day,
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			they they bring their children to the Masjid
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:05
			even if they will not benefit themselves.
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:07
			But it will
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:09
			stay
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:11
			forever in their memories.
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:15
			It will engrieve in their memories.
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			When they grow, they will remember
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:20
			that they used to go to the Masakhid
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:22
			when they were young,
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:25
			And it would be easy for them to
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:28
			come back to the Allah's houses at any
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:28
			time.
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:30
			And this is just my
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:33
			statement today. And I ask Allah
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36
			to help all of us out to understand
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:38
			our mission in this life and
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:41
			to help all of us out
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			to come to the masajid and bring our
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:45
			children, our families
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47
			to the houses of Allah.
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:43
			All the masajids,
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:44
			all
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:46
			the Islamic schools,
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:49
			all the places that will remind you by
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:49
			Allah
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:53
			make yourself the first one in the list.
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:53
			Whatever.
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:55
			The masjid,
		
00:32:56 --> 00:33:01
			the school, Islamic school, or weekend school, whatever.
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:03
			Something will remind you
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:07
			with Allah's name and the religion of Allah.
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:08
			Hurry up.
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:09
			Don't let
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:13
			the opportunity go away from you. Take advantage
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:14
			as much as you can.
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:17
			And trust me, you will never regret in
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:18
			your life
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:20
			how many times that you choose to come
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:22
			to the Masjid. Do you think that Allah
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:23
			need your help
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:25
			when you come to the Masjid to pray
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:27
			for Allah, azza, aza jal? Allah doesn't need
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:28
			our
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:32
			and our obedience.
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:34
			We do need help from Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:36
			ta'ala. If we choose to stay home,
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:37
			means
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:40
			we do like that Allah will help us
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:42
			out. We are self sufficient.
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:43
			We
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:47
			we are in full in hope in hope
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:47
			in help.
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:50
			We do need help from Allah. But when
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:52
			we choose to come to Allah's house, means
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:54
			we are in need
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:58
			of Allah's help, of Allah's mercy, of Allah's
		
00:33:58 --> 00:34:00
			support, of Allah's guidance.
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:48
			And a very quick announcement before, prayer.
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:51
			Today, we have our activities for,
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:54
			boys group and girls group tonight in Shawwa
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:57
			from 5 till 7 between Madam and Risha.
		
00:34:57 --> 00:34:59
			At the same time, we have our Halapa
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:02
			system. Our sister Halakha today
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:02
			for
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:06
			our sisters and our moms and our daughters,
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:09
			the adult one, that's the door is open
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:12
			for every every single sister in the town
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:14
			in Ushamaa. Just encourage your children to come
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:17
			to the Masjid. Try one time. You will
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:18
			not lose anything.
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:20
			Help your wife or your mom or your
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:22
			daughter or your sister to come to learn
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:25
			about their religion at the Masjid, at Allah's
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:27
			house at Shama
		
00:40:50 --> 00:40:51
			Just a,
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:53
			a reminder for all of us, don't forget
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:55
			to support your Masjid.
		
00:40:58 --> 00:41:01
			Whatever you will be able to put into
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:05
			the operation account, just do it to increase
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:06
			the activities at the Masjid
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:08
			and to give more chances
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:10
			for the administration
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:12
			to serve you much better and serve the
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:13
			community.
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:16
			Whatever you you are able, just 5 dollars,
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:18
			$10, 20, a100, whatever,
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:19
			just
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:22
			make it a good for yourself when you
		
00:41:22 --> 00:41:25
			come to the masjid. Do something for the
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:25
			sake of Allah
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:29
			Even a single dollar, it's okay. But it
		
00:41:29 --> 00:41:32
			will be much, much better for us just
		
00:41:32 --> 00:41:33
			to show Allah
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:36
			that we care about his house, and absolutely
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:39
			he will care about us. Don't forget just
		
00:41:39 --> 00:41:40
			to participate,
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:43
			and we have the sandwiches outside
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:44
			in order to support the,
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:45
			umrah,
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:46
			expenses,
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:51
			And we have the boys group and girls
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:51
			group tonight
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:54
			from 5 till 7. And the same time,
		
00:41:54 --> 00:41:56
			we have a sister.
		
00:41:57 --> 00:41:58
			This is for everybody. It's not for a
		
00:41:58 --> 00:42:01
			certain group at the the town. This is
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:04
			for all women and sister, Insha'Allah, that they
		
00:42:04 --> 00:42:07
			are able to come and join the halaqa
		
00:42:07 --> 00:42:08
			and learn about their religion
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:09
			and their,
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:10
			Islam inshallah.
		
00:42:16 --> 00:42:17
			Just, we have,
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:18
			a request
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:20
			from, one brother
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:22
			to make dua for,
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:23
			an ill,
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:24
			brother
		
00:42:25 --> 00:42:28
			and one sister also. She is ill. We
		
00:42:28 --> 00:42:29
			ask Allah
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:31
			to cure both of them and to give
		
00:42:31 --> 00:42:33
			them shifa and to help them out,
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:36
			you know, to pass the hard situation that
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:38
			they have and to return back to their
		
00:42:38 --> 00:42:40
			families and their houses.
