Bismillah R Rahman Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil aalameen or salat wa salam ala l mursaleen. So you do not want to be general Maulana Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He was heavy
Blood Brothers in Islam assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
First of all, we thank our last panel hautala
for having spared us to be in the whole month of Ramadan.
And now to abroad us to the masjid this glorious morning of read Angel photos.
First day of show one, we think allows panatela
for the month of Ramadan,
that is passed.
And we pray to Allah, tala
to keep us until the next Ramadan.
When before everything else we ask Allah subhanaw taala to forgive us.
We ask Allah to forgive
our families, our mothers, our fathers, our wives,
our children, our neighbors,
our families, May Allah forgive and guide us
to the slaughter Mr came in Sharla
today
these are IID
and then me sallallahu Sallam
when he was asked about angulata
which of course is the same sentence
you said
I need is a Yamaha clean
wash or been violin?
Maybe so Salam said
that the I need is a day of eating
and drinking.
And I might add in moderation
and
and family.
And the most important one of the three
is of course, the most difficult part. Eating is easy. Drinking is easy. Family is not so easy.
But
it is something which
we come into the world with.
And that is why when in the Arabic language
families refer to the word Rahim is used.
And Rahim actually means woman.
Rahim also means keeping the family ties keeping the ties of the woman
so Allah subhanaw taala tells us in the Hadith codici
that he had taken this word Rahim
from the word Rahman.
And the word Rahman of course
is the first name which Allah refers himself to in the Quran, Bismillah Al Rahman. Peck the second and Allah first and then Rahman. So Allah has taken this word Rahim. or family relations from his own name Rama.
So it's very important.
Abu huraira
or the Allahu Allahu wa very famous hub, you all know him.
Professor Sam gave him this lovely name, father of the small kitten. Abu huraira means abou means father. And aurrera means small kitten. He was given his name was actually Abdul Rahman.
That was his real name. But the prophet gave him this pretty name. This name of what we call a name of endearment. Like hopefully you will call your wife darling or honey or sweetie
depending on the mood obviously.
So the NaVi Alice's Salaam had these I mean one can just gives you an insight a peek into the character of Maha masala. What kind of a man he was. That even is hava for I shared at the name hurry j the name
even his friends at name's Abu huraira
father of the smoke it took a while one morning for fudger in proper came to the masjid made salah and he while he's making Salah, you heard this
little noise in the back and he looked and he saw a small kitten in his cloak
smoke it in he had in his in his in his in the vehicle this
slip in the sleeve of his coat.
Yet pick the kitten up more on the way to the masjid
that gives an insight into the hearts of the Sahaba
of the Sahaba
we come to the MSG thinking only about oh I must make Salah Salah is important, but get to the masjid or no Sahaba time to pick up the smokey thing from the roadside. It was probably winter, put it in the sleeve and went to the masjid went right into the masjid mix Allah with a kitten. So hello. Look at the soft hearts there. Our era de la
add a class every Thursday night on Hadeeth.
Every says the night in the magic do not only prophets message yet a class on
this Thursday night. This is how you open the class isn't our mother Haney say to the students.
Praise Allah. Put Salatin His Prophet, then he said to the students, oh my students.
It is any one of you?
What cut ties with his family? Please leave this congregation.
What did he say? He said this any one of you my students were cut ties with his family. Please leave my class.
So there was a young man young man was in the class.
He thought to himself, this is my teacher command from my teacher.
There is an art of mine maternal art, my mother's sister who I haven't been to for a long time, haven't visited her for a very long time.
And he got up from the congregation.
And he left and he went to his aunt's house
and was very surprised to see him Mashallah, you know, people are new See? See your, your nephew, your niece, after years, you know, you see Wow.
So I'm asking what happened. I haven't seen him for many years. Mashallah. Very happy to see him.
So he related the story. He said, Oh, my art. I was in my class. And my teacher Barrera said, If I anybody cut ties, he must leave the congregation. So his art was very interesting and strange. It was the first time I've already
answered but you mean of all the settings and all the sins that we commit?
The only thing I could think about was
your family, and that you should make amends with your family. You said yes. Says and then go back to our burera
and ask him, why did he say that?
What motivated him
to tell the students
that any one of them would cut ties should not be part of the class. So he went back to our board. He said, you are sad. Oh teacher. Why did you say that? He said, because a long so behind the Prophet sallallahu Sallam
Prophet sallallahu Sallam said
that the Muslims good deeds.
All your good deeds
are presented to Allah on a Thursday night.
What is Marisa Salaam say?
All your good deeds are presented to a law on a Thursday night. And this class of amorino was held
on a Thursday night, Sabrina said I didn't one the good deeds of all my students and mine to be sued and spoiled
by one person who cut ties with his family. Because one of the conditions of the acceptance of good deeds and obesity on a Thursday night is that the person should not have cut ties with his family.
Said
I repeat that if you cut ties with your family, on a Thursday night when your good deeds are presented to Allah He will not be accepted by our laws.
Very serious. extremely serious. Who shame you work hard all week. You pray the whole week. You fast the whole week come Thursday night, the angels take your deeds to Allah Allah say sorry.
He cut off his family.
Hola Hola. como la?
Mancha, Minami la he, while you're here,
funny Yo, Silla rahima. Now he said, whosoever believes in Allah and the Last Day
should keep the family ties do not cut the family ties. Very important. What do we mean?
By keeping family ties it means to other, your family, even if it is even if it's distant family, to honor them, to respect them, to greet them, to visit them, even if they are harsh to you, even if they have insulted you, no matter what they've done to even if they are non Muslim.
Even if they are non Muslim family.
You are not allowed unless they turn out of the fold of Islam Of course, then you have no option.
But what if we come to today? We are all including myself. Very materialistic. So the first family that goes by the wayside, are the poor family. Poor family says who stays but they don't say in the roundabout is they don't say Lansdowne to Claremont. Nevermind, Moana road, never mind
kirstenbosch
that's the first family that goes by the way.
So we should go and seek out those families.
And there are so they treat you, the more you must go.
The worse they teach you, the more you must go. And the least you can do is pick up the phone.
Pick up the phone. You haven't spoken to Uncle for long term and pick up the phone. Say hello Somali kumiko Barak,
maybe that will be an icebreaker
get back in to get back to family. And the same is of course being today's children. I even
have cut ties with the old mothers and fathers.
Can you imagine?
Read the children don't even visit their own parents. Can you imagine?
It happens? It happens.
It happens that during Ramadan, children are taking their parents to court.
Parents are taking their children to court
and what is it about all about dunia sold the house to him he didn't sign yet he gave the money. Now they want the house back etc etc.
This is the kind of society in which we live.
So there is no other faith and no other religion that is placed
family ties and given such high status
abubaker as the
Arab the ultra
I dare you to tell me if there was a better man
who ever walked on the face of the earth except Mohammed Salah Larsson, London Abu Bakar, acidic or the ultra?
About whom.
Then ma salatu salam said
lo who they are Emmanuel Abbey McLean
filmi Zan, if the man of Abu Bakar should be placed on the scale is a man who would weigh heavier than the man of all the Muslims.
What am I gonna do?
What am I?
What am men, real men
and real men?
Why was he a real man?
Because when the message of he came, he said
sadaqa Rasulullah.
Mohammed a spoken truth. When the message of the oneness of Allah came, he said, meant to be learner.
When he distanced himself from schilke, he said, Now in a Illa
all the time he that is why it's called
aboubaker Casa de casa Siddiqa, the one who is absolutely truthful.
To him, a loss of 100 cent
gibril through the seven heavens
to tell the Navy's allowed us to give Salam from Allah to Avi Becker won the lottery. Can you imagine jabril comes in says Allah, Allah, Allah since Allah Subhana Allah, Allah says Allah
Allah CG Salam Where will you go after you die?
Jana you will be the first man after Mohammed Salim to enter to antigen. Nobody will enter except Abu Bakr to enter first. First Mohammed Salim. So this is the status of a bucket.
Yes, Docker was not a malloc not an angel. No a malloc nor a king. He was just I told men with cheeks had fallen in with deep set eyes. He was very thin. The heave recall an Arabic
Allah was a big seven footer.
So it's not about your weight.
The weight is got nothing to do with it, nor your looks. It's about your symptoms, your Eman when you hear the truth.
We say amen to
that. Amen.
abubaker acidic La Jolla. She had a daughter eyeshadow de la la. She was married to Muhammad Sallallahu
Abdullah IGNOU obey the chief of the bonus pool in Medina.
Allah says about the bonacci code
in nobuna 15 feet then kill us fairly mininum
the Manasa code the hypocrite, the one who says with Eastern La ilaha illAllah Berry's arches, but
let's
not forget the person who says La ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam but
but
but
I have to do this also.
But Allah says he cannot one.
And we say that, yes, we worship Allah back on the side. I will do my little thing as well.
So unlike the other night, there was a group of people who went to the Chroma to sit there the whole night.
Now people say I condemn the krumitz It's a big lie
on
the Holocaust.
How can any right thinking person condemn somebody who's dead? We didn't know never met?
None of you met him. I didn't meet him. None of you met him
earlier law
last fall, not to decide
who those friends are. We don't know.
The only known friends that we know that Allah himself has said are his friends.
And via Alamosa Salaam, the messengers of Allah and the Sahaba alum Salaam and the three generations after Muhammad Sallallahu wasallam in the poorer from the mouth of Muhammad Sallallahu all the people coming after them that is raved and known, only known to allow so
that's not the point. The point is
that Allah has commanded His Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam to build what?
What? Masada?
What about shrines
to bond masajid
so the first thing he did was when he came to Medina was to do what?
Two burled msgid. Why? msgid because the mustard is the place where Muslims gather. Gather for aim. Gather for Salah gather for an end. Again.
This is our place of gathering.
Any man or woman who says there is a better place in the masjid. He is not part of the oma amatola
How can you make a place better than the house of Allah?
How can they be pleased? Because in the house of Allah
please this new way to where are we going with an ominous
path of ship dollar janam
we say now you know in Allah, Muhammad Rasul Allah but we say but I have to go there can't be in the house of Allah not good enough.
Good enough.
Why do I go there because I have a following.
I have people who
handle my beard and my quota
and elevate me
because I take them to a place
where I can tell them any story and they will believe it because then
nothing can be confirmed.
Same other people have not been the
same way the Quraysh
hematoxylin was the light of nor of a man it came to concretize our relationship with Allah subhanho wa Taala which is a relationship of
cannabis.
We are more interested
in the creation of a law than the than the creator of law.
We are more interested
in making the dead alive and saying they're alive
and quoting verses
from the Quran to support our shield
and bita and must interpret the Quran and the Sunnah Muhammad sallahu
wa kulu
Lima Yokota lofi Sabine in La Jolla. Mwah.
These people say that Allah says and do not say of those who are killed in the path of Allah that there are dead.
Allah says,
Nay, they are alive to Assisi.
Allah says the people who Allah says, What does Allah say?
Allah says those who are killed,
not die. yokel means to be killed. Were on the battlefield in jihad. Who are they? Sahaba losers.
All the battles that took place after the time of
doubt full
Shahada mentioned in the Quran are those who died on the battlefields of Odin, Bader and all the other places.
But the requirement is to die on the battlefield.
None of the people whom they say are alive, nor dead, and that alive this who knows how that affects by Allah. I not be him. Allah says they're alive by Allah only Allah knows. But we want to make them alive as you like as they come to visit us. And they, we can speak to them
and so forth and so on.
And what do we miss? We miss unloving ly Namo wala helmuth we forget Allah is the one
who doesn't sleep and will never die
he's the EverLiving why you want to go to that which we did that for and those who have died and buried
evil loving
but she is busy with us for a time and as I said to you before shaytan is not interested in if you go to Grand West
hopefully no none of you go to Grand
hopefully for no reason and no excuse even if you go there for no other reason than not gambling still a place of Bala
but
if we could see shaytaan we will never find him there. Why not? Because not interested isn't interested?
Where he thought is here. Why is he here? Because he's looking around to see all Mashallah these Muslims making Salah Oh, wait, I must let him continue to make Salah. I must work with al Qaeda. If I can get them to turn away from me. I cannot Marsh
Allah then I will encourage them to come to the merchant because Allah will reject all the bad
Cause if you're asking is wrong you believe is wrong. Allah doesn't accept anything from you.
And you know it's my normal message I have to give this message. So I have completed my message as well as cubbies so let me just say if I given the message, say
yes, you're given the message. So that's the message. That's the middle of the message.
Last part of the message is Abubakar we come back to
so don't say def TMI Allah Yeah, I went to go yeah and I should do that which allows you to do all kinds of funny things. asked by the date and this email me never told us what's right and what's wrong. So you put even Jana will put us in gender?
No, you can't say that.
Please.
So abubaker acidic Roger waterhen
daughter is married to the prophets of Salaam.
Abdullah me obey the monastic
who's done c'est la ilaha illa. Allah is acid No.
He started a rumor in Medina to say that I was a bad omen.
I'm not going to go into the story of that. But the rumors spread like wildfire. Obviously, prophets wife, Wow, she did something bad with another main law how Lola imagined imagine this. Imagine how the Prophet must have felt you know what he did? He said I shall
just because of the room for one month.
No revelation, I think.
I think now neither confirm nor unconfirmed.
The men
who supported Abdullah Avenue by the monastic was a man by the name of Mr.
He was related to say number bacara de la tan. He was a poor man as a banker is to give him baksheesh every month
now he's got some family members. But poor so you go and you say, oh, you're unemployed Marsha laboratory is a couple 100 bucks for you, you know?
So our workers to give him every month money money. He started he supported this rumor. La La La quwata illa again, today we're back again Sasha thrinng are the people who are the people who turn against you see, wow, I should give this guy man look with Allah. He's the man who's supporting this rumor against my daughter.
So Baka decided I'm never going to give obviously.
So after one month, Allah sent surah Noor
in Surah nor allows but Allah made it clear that I shall was innocent. That this was a
rumor spread by the Muna hoonah and allows her to deal with him
and in the same surah Allah subhanho wa Taala cast against aboubaker
a loss of a hunter tells our worker not by name and Allah says team
and you
have no right to cut off your family
even though he started he was strongly in this part of this core part of this conspiracy against your daughter no no no no continue to support him.
important it is to keep the family ties Let me see why no but children now got this person this cousin of mine You know
I used to give him money every month is unemployed you know what you did? This is what I was also no no don't give you I will say well so I will say to you No you're right that's a good decision. You might you know, punishing
but allows vahana tala create of man creator of us say now
look at Islam
none of you would have continued to give allows and
no one was human. So human being like us same thing. That is why we need
that is why we need Mohammed Salah because if we had to make the decisions on our own Can you imagine what happened to the world?
Imagine Allah said elbow sleeves I want you to make a bother to me You do what you are me want to do and do it. So it was a bother to me I don't care as long as just to make about No no.
You have to make Salah five times a day fast. Gives aka go for Hajj. This is a bada
bada bing.
The Corolla This is the a body which I have given to you, I don't leave you to decide where you want to make it and how you want to make it.
And yet there are people who do that. I mean the new series for example,
our two minutes, two minutes, the new series in Syria.
I said, The Lion,
the oppressor
and Allah put to pressure and the person who cuts family ties in the same in the same area of the Quran. Both of them are cursed. Our laws handle your pressure and the one who cuts ties the nurseries in Syria. They are a branch of the Shia
branch of the Shia. They're called the bothies.
They practice what is called
esoteric Islam.
You heard about spirituality about there was such a big thing in the Gambia but 111 cleric standing on the member in front of you
who said no spirituality in Islam says or what is he saying La Jolla
those new salaries they believe in spirituality
so terrorism
in a practice of Islam inside you practice inside inside yourself you feel Islam so the new series A you don't have to go for hij physically don't have to buy ticket
get accredited by salc
be caught by the agents all every single year over and over and over and over get insulted by the Saudis in the arrogance know that why do you say they say Why must you do all that? All the heat of mankind? No, no no. You sit in your lounge.
Close your eyes
and you say love bake Aloma bake that bacon
and then you go off to hatch open your eyes
Hollis *
you love this is a this I'm not telling you. This is true. Follow solo ad says Salah
okay.
Salah
insight spirituality.
knows people who sit on TV and on a Sunday morning with cross legs as whities. And Becky's
close their eyes they
they say that is spirituality.
So when a scientist says hello
five times a day? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Once a year
you will laugh at me now I'm telling you if we continue in the way that we continue here in 100 years time this will be as
boss will be closed.
The cemeteries will be lit up with lawns and photographs and you go to Iran you see this same entries look like places like gardens and people are there 24 hours a day.
The new site is sent to records once a year, you must make it
in the presence of the Imam of the time halus. That's it.
Why? Because they've taken it upon themselves to decide
what is good and what is not good, what is right and what is wrong. So other people don't say
what is your kidney?
It is not
very common but what Nokia was carried out.
That's not the point.
The point is if we start here, we're going to end that is my point. Because you and I know that he might have the old muscle getting stronger.
It's getting weaker,
isn't it
compared to our fathers to their fathers. So in 100 years time,
so therefore it is the duty of the AMA
to look at these things.
I mean we have read this is read. They are melted to atalla in the title of father this morning, seven o'clock. Thomas
who is Salama
To make sure you can allow him to do what they want
How can you align the time of
this Iijima consensus amongst all the scholars that Salah can only take place after a shock
because the day hasn't come yet, I Salah is for the day of aid
not through the night of read
so if you miss a lot in the morning seven o'clock in the time of 5g because 5g means what time
what time
it was
but you will all agree with me that I wasn't going to put my foot into this now.
Seven o'clock is so dark it's still fuzzy. Walk the factories in our settings from our circle membership isn't it? Father is from father until one hour and 20 minutes after fudger you can still make fighter
and one hour 20 minutes afterwards you can't make any more until you have to wait till the sun rises so no size allowed at that time.
So you only allowed to make salad again now 754 you're allowed to make salad again Shahrukh Salah
Suna Salah.
You see,
when the owner Go and sleep
when there's no authority, authoritative voice
then this is we are today we will we will not like this 2030 3040 years ago.
And I make all the old to youth when something happens. They would stand up and they would give the fatwa and they would put their foot down and say no, no, no, no, you can't do this and you can't do.
So it's very important for us in today the three lessons we have because the last lesson is
today's
your graduation.
Our sister
Debbie Salaam says Howdy.
