Assigned
in the Quran,
in the chapter of repentance,
verse number 36,
that Allah says,
indeed,
the number of the months
with Allah
is wolf.
There is 4 of them are sacred.
The 4 months
that Allah
assigned to be a holy, to be a
secret,
we are
in one of them right now. Today is
14 of the paradigm.
14,
the half of the month,
and the following month
is sacred.
And
the month after that,
is taken too.
The idea idea
is when Allah
created the heavens and the earth
and he assigned
12 months,
4 of them are sacred.
And when we look at how Allah Subhanahu
Wa'ala put them in order,
1 in the beginning of the month of
the year, which is Al Muhamram,
the first,
and 1 in the middle of the year,
which is Qadr,
7th,
and 2 of them in the end of
the year, which is the Al Qaeda, 11th,
and Al Hejda, 12.
When we look at this
charter,
the first,
the 7th,
the 11th, and the 12th,
it
make sense for all of us
to learn and to get benefits,
to start your year
with the sacred months
just to be
careful not to enter into new year
unless if you realize and notice
this is the holy month.
Do not
do something
wrong
to yourself or to others. And this is
the reason why Allah mentioned
Do do not wrong yourself
therein,
and do not wrong one another
in these
months.
Our scholars, they they said
the preparation here
related to
the whole year, which is the 12 months,
or related to only 4 sacred months.
Both of them are correct,
but the most correct opinion,
they relate it to the 4 sacred months.
Do not wrong yourself
and do not wrong one another in these
4
sacred months.
Why?
Because
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala chose the time
and he choose the places, and he choose
the superior
for some people
above others.
And we should not ask Allah, subhanahu wa
ta'ala. It's not our business.
We
should
just
submit ourselves
to what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
commanded us
to benefit our
means
to delay
a certain
time
to other
time to replace with the other ones.
And the people before Islam, they used to
delay
the sacred month
to other month when they feel that they
are strong and they can win the war,
except
one tribe only they called.
And the prophet Muhammad mentioned
his tribe in the Hadith, and he said,
between Jamada
and Sha'aban.
Because only one tribe, they never changed their
mind, and they never changed
the sacred month
that Allah choose,
which is the tribe of.
But other tribes of Arabs,
it's easy for them to change 1 or
2 or 3 months in one time.
They used to put Rajab into Ramadan
because they felt they will win the war,
and they said Rajab is not a secret
anymore. It will Rajab will come in Ramadan.
And the idea is
even the people before Islam, they noticed
this is a sacred month
and they are not able to disobey Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala even if they have a
partner with Allah a sahuja. They used to
worship idols. They used to put the idols
around the Kaaba, but they
did not
put themselves
in the hard situation with Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala with the the holy months or the
sacred month.
But look at ourselves today.
Really, wabahi,
it's badja.
It's
unbelievable.
Muslims
killed each other today. I think that they
didn't care about sacred months or hadar months.
Look at people
especially Muslim nation.
Look at them today. Look at Muslim countries
today.
What are they doing?
They spread mischief everywhere
and they don't care about
sacred months or not.
They are stealing. They are killing each other.
They are cheating. They are deceiving.
What's going on? And we ask
Allah to secure
Muslim nation, and we ask Allah
for paradise? How come?
Allah is very just.
And Allah will not support
injustice
even if they
are believing in Allah
It's very important for all of us. Why
when we ask Allah so many kind, Allah
did not.
So as result of
our supplication,
of our implication.
Why?
We have to ask ourselves,
what's wrong with us?
Because Allah
has the same message.
Since he created the heavens and the earth
until today, until the day of judgement,
there is no change in Allah's decree.
But we have to look at ourselves.
What's wrong with us as a Muslims, as
a believers? We have to
wake up
and to change our mind and change our
life or our way of life.
Alimam,
he said, Allah
started the year with the sacred month which
is.
And people might forget
for a while. And Allah returned back to
them to remind them and to wake them
up in the middle of the year.
When the person really wronged themselves and does
a lot of bad deeds,
it's enough. Enough is enough. Allah will send
out a sign for him or for her
in the middle of the year which is
in Rajah.
Stop.
Don't kill yourself
means don't put yourself in risk.
Don't disobey Allah
because
disobeying
Allah,
it will result
It will result miserable time or miserable life.
And this is the reason most of people
are complaining
about their life and about their
time of life
because we really
cut off the relationship with our Lord.
And people might forget for a while, but
I will send for them our reminder
which is
the one that we have right now today.
We are in the middle
of the,
which is the holy month or the sacred
month.
And when we look at
the chart
of the year, we have 1 in the
beginning, 1 in the middle, and 2 in
the end of the year. Why?
What is the wisdom for that?
They said,
a prophet Muhammad
used to ask
Allah Oh Allah, make our end of every
single
detailed
good.
And this is the idea. We have 2
months in the end of each year
which is the and the hija
for us to wake up and to go
back to Allah, ask Allah for forgiveness,
to repent back to Allah
because you have double months. You have 2
of them to give you
an idea.
It's the end of the year, and you
have to return back to Allah, and you
have to increase your good deeds
and to decrease your bad deeds as much
as you can.
And Al Hassan al Fosriq Rahim Allah
used to say,
these 4 sacred months,
If you are not able to worship Allah
in these 4 sacred months, at least
do not disobey Allah
in these
sacred months.
If you are not able to increase your
deeds,
you should not increase your bad deeds in
these 4 months.
And Muhammad,
Roger,
Wilberta,
and Wilberta. And I choose the topic today
because
it's really very sad
when we
become busy in our life
and we will work hard.
And some of us might work
more than 10, 15 hours a day,
and we forget
even
the sacred months.
We forget them.
When the sacred months will come,
most of us,
you know, in in the busy time, in
the busy life, we forget.
I just I mentioned
that, Subhanallah, when you when you read the
tafsir of the verse
of
chapter of repentance
to see how the people before Islam
were really afraid
to disobey Allah and
to fight or to do wrong
to themselves
or to one another,
even they they assign a partner with Allah
But for this
point, our Quran mentioned
that
they tried to find excuse for themselves
to fight.
And this is the reason why they created
al Nasid.
And Nasid,
they found for themselves
excuse
to say this
is
a non sacred month
because they're still afraid of Allah
But for most of Muslims today,
what are are they doing?
Look at Muslim countries, a lot of corruption,
a lot of mischief.
Why?
And we should not blame anyone.
We have to blame ourselves
individually
because
I know myself very well more than anybody
else.
I know my family very well. I know
my children,
and I should not blame anyone except myself
and my family, my children.
And if we have this way
for every single Muslim,
male or female,
they will correct themselves
by themselves.
I swear to Allah, we will find a
different life.
We will be
like prophet Muhammad mentioned.
It's easy for him.
But the problem
in ourselves.
We are the problem.
We are as a Muslims
because
we have to believe in Allah
We have to rely in Allah
We have to trust Allah
But reality,
we are not.
And this is the situation
that we have every way. In every single
Muslim country today, you can see. You can
tell.
Non Muslim countries,
they are dealing with the justice
every way,
and you can see the result.
But for Muslim countries,
look at
them. Even you cannot
have
a easy life
in any Muslim country today.
Why?
Because Muslim are far away
from Allah's way,
from Allah's path.
And this is a point I would like
to have today.
We need to wake up.
We need to
sit with ourselves for a while
and to judge ourselves.
We are not allowed to judge others,
but we are allowed to judge ourselves.
This is my
wish
for all of us
to really
rethink
about your life.
You have a chance today. You might lose
it tomorrow.
You have opportunity today.
You might lose it tomorrow.
And Allah will ask all of
us individually.
Every single person will be responsible of his
or her actions,
and we will not punish unless if we
send
a
signal,
a word for people
to return them back to
Allah We are in the middle
of and
this is other wisdom.
Allah
put 1 individual month in the middle of
the year for the one who is willing
to go to make umrah and go back
to his country.
Because umrah, you can make umrah within few
hours.
You do not need too too much time
to go and come back. Month is enough.
And
Allah put the 3 of them in order,
and following each other for the one who
is willing to go to perform
pilgrimage. Any pilgrim wants to perform
pilgrimage,
he needs
enough time to go and go back and
come back to his country. No one can
stop him. No one can attack him. No
one can steal his money. And this is
the the mentality.
And but look look at Muslim countries today.
Can you go anywhere
without without stopping from
a police officers?
Officers. You cannot drive more than hour without
stopping.
Subhanallah.
And this is the idea.
When we we we
replan
somebody else.
This is the idea.
We
are responsible
for what we have today,
for the mischief
on Earth today.
We are a big part of it,
and we will not clean it up unless
if we went up and return back
and confirmed,
oh, Allah, we did mistakes.
Please forgive us.
And
we don't like to say by our times,
we need to do
actual
actions.
We need to change
the way of our life. If
Allah
protected us until today, which is out his
of his bounties.
But reality, if Allah counts
all the mistakes that we have done,
no one will be able to live on
Earth today.
Allah help all of us out,
and may Allah
forgive all of us. May Allah
make all of us our own models in
our religion.
