Muhammad
the question, and he said, the most superior
among you, the one who is beneficial
to others,
the one who
bring benefit
to the rest of mankind.
And when we look at
the work of mankind,
including
believers
and
you are seeking help from Allah You're asking
for support from Allah But if you have
intention to help that person because of him
or of her,
you will lose the word for it because
people will
appreciate what you have done done for them.
And there is no word from Allah for
your action.
But if you're really looking for action, for
for your action, to be awarded from Allah,
you have to have sincere intention
in your heart, in your mind
before
helping anyone
out.
And this is the idea. When Allah,
despite in the Quran,
You are the best nation
that Allah's
to
have.
And there is 3 conditions
for
this situation,
to enjoy
and to forbid
and
to believe in Allah, almighty Allah.
These three conditions,
if we miss one of them,
we will not be able to join the
best
nation that Allah mentioned in the Quran.
And
when we have the hadith of Rasulullah,
higher nets,
the most superior among the people,
the one who
who's helping
others,
the one who brings
benefit
to the rest of mankind.
When we look at this hadith
and with other hadith that prophet Muhammad
mentioned.
I love you.
I
love
you.
The
believer, the
The believer, the one who really get involved
with the other others
and just have patience with them,
it's much much better than the one who
choose to stay away
and not to get involved with others.
And this hadith
will teach us
when we have a chance
to get involved into
the situation and to be able to help
others
as much as we can, it's much better
than the one who choose
to worship Allah
by himself
and to go
by himself, and he doesn't care about any
other people around him.
Even if he stay
247
or shivering Allah,
pray before the second Allah,
it will not work out
because we are not ready
in
a situation
to be individually,
but we are living in a situation
to come together.
Help one another,
When we compare
Abu
Bakr as the rest of the companions,
he wasn't poor
like Abu Dhab or Abu Doraia,
but he was
much much better than them.
And
he wasn't injured
in any battle of
Islam
like Sayina Abu Abayd al Jarrah or Sayina
or the first martyr in Islam as sayyid
Islam
or sayyid
Ahmad. But he was much better than all
of them.
Even
he did not die as a martyr, as
a
He passed away as a shayid, as a
martyr. Or sayidna Uthman,
Ibla Afran, they killed him in his house.
Sayidna Abu Bakr, he passed away on his
bed, subhanallah,
but he was much better than all of
them. What is the secret
for Sayyidina Abu Bakr to be the best
of the best
of the companions
of Rasool Ilhabim sallallahu alaihi wa sallam?
We need to know. Sabi
he. Allah testify for him. He is the
companion of Rasulillahi
Allah is divided for him. He is the
companion of Rasulullah What is the signal that
Abu Bakr had in his mind between him
and Allah
And we need to understand.
We need to imitate him. We need to
follow his footsteps.
The secret is
his heart.
His heart.
He did not show up
for his
prayers or his fasting or his donations.
He used to support prophet Muhammad
financially
every time, and he never ever mentioned that.
Okay, And
Allah mentioned in the Quran. In that day,
the day of judgment,
no one will benefit you
nor your children
or your wealth
except
your clean heart.
This is very
important for all of us to understand.
Because
if we have a clean heart,
if we have nothing wrong with our hearts
toward others,
even if we pray less than others.
If we fast less than others,
if we perform hard less than others,
we will be accepted
more than others
based on
our intention
and our hearts.
This is very important,
and I would like to clarify it for
all of us today.
We are in need
for
some volunteers
from our community,
from sisters and the brothers,
for the executive committee.
And
when you look
at yourself
that you have some time money
to spend for the sake of Allah
to help others,
not
because people will appreciate what you have done
for them,
but because
you really sincerely making it for the sake
of Allah
only.
And this is the
And
this is the idea. And
prophet Muhammad
mentioned, the one
who's dealing with others and have patience with
them is much much better than the one
we choose to stay away
from helping others.
And our
situation today,
especially
in this country,
we need to come together.
We need to support one another.
We need to help one another.
Even a Muslim, I mentioned, for all mankind.
All mankind.
We created you, subhanallah.
We
created you from male and female. Yes. And
we made you as a nations and the
tribes.
For one purpose.
To know one another,
to help one another, to support one another.
And this is the
the command from Abu Zakat are for all
mankind.
How about believers?
How about the group that they believe in
the same way, that they will share in
the same God, that they
follow in the same prophet.
Don't tell me I'm an Arab or I'm
Bosnian or I'm Sumalian or I'm Raistani
or don't tell me tell I'm a Muslim.
I'm ready to help out.
I don't care about my nationality, but I
do care about my religion.
And this is my point today for all
of us. Our Masjid in need
for
help. It's not financial help, alhamdulillah.
May Allah warn all of you for you
supporting
your masqid, but our masqid in in need
for volunteers.
We need
some brothers and sisters
to stand up and to say, I will
help out. I'm ready to help because Chabad
choose me to put me in the situation
to be a
perilous
of ease for others. And may all of
us
This is my prayer today. Look at yourself
and look at your schedule
and look at your time.
What can you do for the sake of
Allah
And this is the chance that Allah gave
us.
Some of our families member
members
or some of our friends,
they have no choice anymore
because they passed away for it or they
are ill. We all
of them.
But for us,
for the sake of Allah,
not for the sake of any,
but yes.
It's sincerely for the sake of Allah,
and we are looking
for the world
only from
Allah. If you are willing to help out,
please
see brother Shanayi or brother doctor Aymajid
or see iman after the Khuba because, really,
we are in need
for some brothers
Just a very important announcement for
today.
Domestic the other people of domestic will be
out of service

power message to be
more more portable. I know a lot of
brothers and sisters, they complain about their needs.
They lost their life. You are older,
but each other are in,
to respond to their request.
The company will come this coming Monday
to replace the carpet with a very comfortable
carpet.
And we're gonna use the lower level for

Then you will find the Masjid is open
to for next Friday. But for daily prayers,
we're gonna pray in the basement, not in
the hallway because the masjid will be locked,

come from the other doors from outside,
not from the main entrance for sisters, for
