Dear brothers and sisters,
today
is
the 4th day of 8,
which is the last day of Takbir.
Takbir the time for Takbir will end by
a prayer today,
and I choose the sentence of Takbir
to magnify Allah
to study and to learn about the wisdom
and the benefits
that we will have
if we magnify Allah
if we say Allahu Akbar.
The word of Allahu Akbar,
it means
Allah is greater.
Greater
means nothing in our life
will be similar with him
or will will will be combined with with
almighty Allah's karatal.
Why?
Because
sometimes we might love our children more than
anybody else, or we might love ourselves more
than anybody else. We might love our way
more in anything.
We might love our position, our our status,
or our
authority
more than anything else.
But when we understand
Abay is great
means
nothing,
is beloved to our heart more than Allah
This is the reason why Allah
revealed
to his
prophet Muhammad in early Islam,
in that 1st year of Islam, of what?
You know?
Surat al Muzammil.
Surat al Muzaddathir and Surat al Muzammil. And
Muzammil,
the one who covered himself with with the
blanket.
Oh, you
who covered himself with the blanket,
who
stand up during the night
and pray
for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
And the second chapter right away, Surat al
Mudethir.
Oh, you who covered himself with the blanket,
stand up for what? Not to pray, but
to warn others,
to convey the message of Allah to others,
to mankind. And the second command right away,
mankind.
And the second command right
away, magnify your blood.
In Arabic language, it's different than any other
language. In Arabic language,
And Allah started with
the your lord.
Your lord
magnify him.
In Arabic language, it will be a huge
difference
if you start with
your throat or if you start with magnify
your throat issue.
If you say,
capital rub back,
it might work out,
but it's not complete.
Because
if you say capital rub
Rabeck, it's okay to magnify Allah and magnify
anything with him.
Like when we say
if we switch it to say,
it will not work out because
we will ship you, oh Allah, and it's
okay to worship anything with him, almighty Allah.
But when we say
to start with the
means it's 100%.
It's not
to worship anyone or anything with Allah
The same idea.
And
the last verse of Surat al Isra, the
Germany night, the chapter of Germany night, Allah
told his beloved prophet Muhammad
Say all praise be to Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala. Who? And then
the
one who has no son.
The one who has
above Allah. And these the 3 different conditions
that
people have in their life.
If the person
tried to donate some money
and he has children,
the shaytan might might come to him to
say, if you donate this money and your
children in need,
he might change his mind not to donate,
but Allah has no signs.
Means
nothing can stop him if he decide to
give somebody
else
from his
bounties.
And sometime, if you
decide to donate some money and you have
your partner in in the
you to donate some money and you have
your partner in in the business. And when
somebody asks you to donate, you would say,
I'm I'm fighting to donate, but I have
to ask my my partner
in the business because the business is between
us, and I cannot do something without his
permission.
And the partner
could agree with you or not,
and it's not guaranteed.
But with Allah
it's guaranteed 100%
because he has no government.
If he decides to
give you from his bounty, no one can
stop him, almighty Allah. And the 3rd condition,
Allah has authority
above every everything.
But for
us, when we work as employees,
I cannot
donate from the line of the company that
I'm working for or the the market or
the factory.
I have to ask for permission,
and they might agree or not. But for
Allah, he doesn't need permission from anyone
to get it. And this is the idea.
Allah subhanahu wa'ala can build the purse.
Magnify him as much as you can.
Our sacrifice,
when we slaughter animals
to say
We magnify Allah
when we go for prayer, when we make
aza,
when we enter into the prayer,
when we move from
stage to stage during the prayer,
from condition to other condition, it's not allowed
to move unless if you mention Allahu Akbar.
Can you imagine? If you are
standing and you you want to move to
ruku.
How to move? If you move in silent
condition,
your salah is in orbit.
You have to say.
You have to take the key. You have
to take the the the the green
light to move from one condition to other
condition,
except when you say
to
to say all things
be to Also,
when you have a new word in your
life,
the first word
should be recited,
the the word of Allahu Akbar,
to come into his
ear or her ear, the first,
second,
right away when he when when you receive
him or her, just to recite as a
in right side
and recite a comma in left side. And
our scholars, they explain the wisdom for that.
You know,
his heart or her heart will receive the
word of Allahu Akbar,
and
the world will benefit them when they grow
up
even if we cannot notice that on the
time of habir
when when they were were born.
But you will feel that
in their behaviors
later on.
A lot of Muslims, they're complaining against their
children
because they
might receive them with the music or with
the innovations, with the and.
But when we say we have, we need
to apply for the sunnah of Rasulullah,
we will love to imitate our beloved prophet
Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. You might find
some people really fight
back not to do that. Subhanallah.
And we should not blame anyone except ourselves.
When we find bad behaviors from our children,
it's our mistakes.
We need to realize that and we need
to wake up.
Also, when we throw the bubbles in the
Hajj time, each time you have to say,
and this root, and this shaitan.
And the prophet Muhammad
told us, when you raise your voice to
magnify Allah,
shaitan will run away from the the place
that you live and the place that you
stay. And this is the reason why we
call a van before salah just to keep
shayatim outside the place.
Also, when we see the hilah, when we
see the dress in the sky,
when we when we see
any
happy time in our life, we have to
magnify Allah
When we see a crescent in the sky,
we have to say, Allahu Akbar.
Allahu Mahindahu Alayna
be an annual iman.
Oh, Allah, bring the new person for us
with
the good condition,
safety condition.
And to talk to them,
the new move,
new person is to say,
Our Lord is Allah,
and his Lord is Allah too. And this
is the idea. Help to help to feel
that you
you are included in the condition in the
the condition of the creation of Allah.
Feel that you are part of that creation
of Allah. When you feel that,
whatever you have in your life, it will
be none because
you have Allah.
Allah
will guide you.
Allah will provide you with the risk, with
the provision. Allah will help you out. Allah
will support you. Allah will defend you. What
do you need more than this? But when
you understand
the meaning of Allah means
Allah
You know, our scholars, they count
how many times that we once we magnify
Allah
every single day,
it's 400
only with the salah
matters.
With the salaam and adar and the after
salaam,
we magnify Allah
almost
447
times every single day. Some of us, we
even did not pay attention for that. It's
a big number.
Told us
to increase the level
of takbir as much as we can if
we really understand the meaning of takbir.
And this is
our
chance
to gain reward from Allah
and to feel comfortable,
to feel secure
because Allah is with us.
This is what we need to learn today
because we
we repeated takbir every every single time, especially
in the first 10 days
in the hija.
And I saw some brothers.
They might hesitate. Why do you need takbir?
What what is the benefit for that? And
I choose this topic today. It's very simple
topic, but it's very important topic for all
of us.
When we feel that Allah is greater than
anything in our life,
we will be
a good slaves of Allah. We will be
a good servant
of our almighty Allah. May Allah
help all of us out to understand our
religion and to act
as a good believers, as a good followers
with our beloved prophet Muhammad
who? Allah
who Akbar.
Just has dhamma
on in the hand of Allah. Allah who
Akbar.
Be rigid for that because if you say
Allah who Akbar, you say Allah and somebody
Akbar may be
somebody
