Dear brothers and sisters,
Just we
arrived into the last day of Ayam Tasriq.
Today is Friday, the last day of Ayam
Tasriq.
To
to
tag
your
Allah called
it
as a trade,
as
Tijara.
To me to believe in Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala
and his messenger.
To strive hard in the course of Allah
by your wealth and yourself.
And like, you know,
or as you know, that we have some
brothers and sisters around the global.
They are STRIVE. They
really have very
difficulties
even to live normal life.
They have nothing
to eat,
especially
our brothers and sister in Gaza
and Palestine.
May Allah
give all of us chance to go to
pray in Al Masjid Al Aqsa, Allahum Amin.
And
just to realize
how Allah
blessed us
in this country,
in this environment
here.
You can do whatever you want. No one
can stop you.
But our brothers and sisters, they are struggling.
They even couldn't find
the clean water to drink.
They some of them they they are eating
the leaves of the trees.
When we leave our wealth or our money
behind us, our inheritors will take it,
will take advantage
to spend the money that we collected for
the entire life. SubhanAllah.
But when we try to
invest with Allah
sometime,
Satan will not leave us alone. And this
is the way that Allah explain in Surat
Al Baqarah.
Satan threatens you with the poverty.
We need to compare between the threatens of
Satan
promise of Allah. Unfortunately, we still have some
people, they follow the threatens of Satan and
they did not follow the promise of Allah.
They do not
they do not really
trust what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala promised them.
And
Allah explained in the Quran
for the one who will spend
some
money of his wealth or her her wealth.
Because we do need to understand
the the interpretation of the Quran
to realize
the huge different between when we invest in
any
company or any
way in our life or when we invest
with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Any newspaper about
investment, we'll give you 30 or 40 or
even 50% return. You will find people line
up on front of the company or go
online and they will register themselves and they
will register themselves and they will pay
and they will pay, you know, for a
stock market or for even
whatever they will decide.
But when we say Allah
promises us,
you know, 700
time.
A lot of people, they thought this is
the only limit that Allah will give us,
700 times. No.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
has more and more and more for
the one who is able to receive more
bounties from Allah Azzawajal. Allah
will multiply for whom who wants.
His companions for help, financial help.
SubhanAllah.
And we will see how the companions respond
back to Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Sayedruna Umar came with the half of his
wealth.
Any
way for shaitan to stop them. And Prophet
Muhammad asked him, what did you leave for
your family or Umar?
He said, I left other half of my
wealth for them or Rasulullah.
Few minutes later, Sayedoon Abu Bakr came, Allahu
Akbar.
And
he brought all his
his wealth.
And he put on front of Rasulullah, his
sallam. When your brothers and sisters ask you
for help,
please don't hesitate.
Don't have doubt because
when you give your donation, it's not because
of your brother or your sisters.
No. It's because of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
He knows you, and he sees you, and
he can he's able to multiply
the donation that you will give for the
sake of him so many time. Sayedna Abu
Bakr came with the all his wealth.
What did you leave for your children, oh
Abu Bakr? See how he learned from Rasulullah
Sallallahu Sallallahu Sallallahu Sallallahu Sallallahu
Yahu
Sallallahu. I left for my family Allah and
his messengers.
It's more it it more
sufficient
for him.
Even he has nothing left.
Subhan Allah. But he put his trust in
Allah
We never heard that prophet, Sayedna Abu Bakr,
you know, was struggling with the poverty in
his life.
He he he spend all his wealth, and
Allah return it multiple time after that.
So you know Omar. And just
to realize when we really deal with Allah
we need to try with Allah once in
our life just to put our trust in
Allah and say, I will I will do
this
even if I will struggle in my life.
Because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wrote all
the decrees
before he created the heavens and the earth
50000
years.
It's not by luck.
This is what Allah,
wrote for us
before we even came to this life. Just
make sure that Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, will
be happy with us. May Allah
guide all of us to correct path, and
may Allah
help all of us
to stay firm in our religion and to
be a good
role models for others.
And I have a unique example
from the companions of Rasulullah, his salam alayhi
wa sallam. You're we might heard about his
name a lot of times
that he left
everything
belongs to him be behind him when he
decides to go to his beloved prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. So you do not
so hey.
So hey is not Arab.
He's he's from Roman.
And this is the beauty of Islam. We
have Romans, we have Persian, we have Arabs,
we have theobian, we have
This is the beauty of Islam that Islam
united us, all of us.
We have the same mission.
We have the same direction. We have the
same God. We have the same message. We
have the same direction. We have the same
messenger.
Our beloved prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
He was a slave for Abdullah ibn Jutani.
Abdullah ibn Jutani, he was
he never bow to the statue or he
never drink alcohol.
And when he look at
and he was embarrassed with him, he was
amazed with
and he set him free.
Worked hard to gain money and to gain
wealth, and he become
the rich person
among rich people in Mecca.
When he heard about Islam,
he did not have time to ask
about the new religion. He accepted.
He conferred to Islam right away.
When he decide when Allah commanded all believers
to leave Mecca and go to Medina,
he gathered all his wealth,
and he's ready to go. And the people
of Mecca stopped him. Where are you going?
He said, I will go to my beloved
prophet Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam.
What do you want guys?
Even he did not think,
They said, if you leave
your wealth behind you, we will let you
go. And he respond back, if I leave
it for you, you will let me go?
They said yes.
He did not take a second
to think.
Is it
good deal?
Subhan Allah. Sometime when we when we have
a chance to worship Allah
or to participate
or to donate,
we we might calculate it within few second
in our yeah.
Will be good.
He did not even think about that. He
said, take it.
And they said,
you did not have he used to wear
like this, and they took it.
Subhanallah. And they he gave them,
and he went to prophet Muhammad.
And, you
know, Gabriel came with the unique
verse in Surat Al Baqarah, especially for Sayedna
Suhaib Ar Rumi.
What the verse says?
Do you think if if you sell yourself
for the sake of Allah,
Allah
will waste your cover? No.
And when he arrived to Madina, he went
to the masjid of Rasulullah
and he looked at Rasulullah and Rasulullah was
smile.
Subhanallah, he was smiling at him and he
said,
So successful
trading all suhayb
three times. That's it.
SubhanAllah. And this is my message today for
myself, my brothers, my sisters.
You know, we came in behalf
of life for relief,
to stretch our hands with the generosity for
our brothers and sister in Gaza.
This is your time.
Participate for whatever you feel comfortable between you
and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. You do not
need to really
find somebody begging you. Please help them out.
No. We will not do that inshallah
because you know the situation and you know
that they are struggling in their life over
there, and this this is the project especially
for them, for our brothers and sister in
Gaza, in Palestine. May
Allah help all of us out.
