Wael Ibrahim – Ramadan 2022 #14 – Rules of Istiqamah 5 – Leaving a legacy

			Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi over I get one of the things that will definitely help you develop this
concept of expecting the best from Allah subhanaw taala in your heart, in your mind and in your life
is to leave a legacy behind before you pass away before you depart this dunya to leave something of
value to your children, to your community, to the people that you have interacted with. So at least
when they remember you, they raise their hands and they make dua and the Ask Allah subhanaw taala to
have mercy upon you for what you have told them or what you have left behind. And whenever you work
toward that direction to leave a legacy to leave a print that will always benefit mankind after you
		

			you will definitely expect in return that Allah subhanho wa Taala will reward you Subhan Allah all
the time. That's why the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in his final speech he said,
but laguan New Allah, convey on my behalf even a single verse, whatever you've learned from Allah
subhanaw taala in the Quran, whatever you have learned from the narrations from the Sunnah of the
Prophet pawns are seldom teach pass on perhaps one of these teachings will be your legacy. I
remember my students will always ask me about consistency. How can we start a project? Or how can we
maintain that level of energy to keep doing what is right day in and day out without fail and
		

			Subhanallah Lima told him it is easier said than done. But it's absolutely possible, absolutely
doable. And one of the things that can help you develop that energy in your heart to keep going no
matter what happened in your life, no matter what obstacles you have faced, no matter what pain
you're going through, no matter what sickness you may encounter, you keep going according to your
ability and your capacity at that stage is working in this dunya to leave a legacy after you depart
this dunya because your vision your eyes always on the hereafter always on Jana, and that's why
Subhanallah Lee when you analyze the ayat in the Quran about Ibrahim and his sunnah and building the
		

			Kaaba, you will understand that he was building it, not only because it was a command from Allah
subhanaw taala. But his vision was bigger than that his vision was an ummah, to flourish after him,
and to come in that very space that he had built for you to testify that there is no God worthy of
worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Today's final rule of Islam that
we have started a couple of episodes ago, is the rule of leaving a legacy and by no means the rules
of it's the karma are limited to only five points, we can in fact, fill up another series just about
is the karma, but due to the limitation and the time that we have attained, we just restricted to
		

			five points and shot a lot of time today is the rule of leaving a legacy. Allah Subhana. Allah says
in the Quran, where we all fall, Ibrahim, who called them in Ethiopia is now Elam burner burning in
Africa and the semi Oh lolly. And when they brought him on, he said him and his son Ismail were
raising the foundations, the pillars of the house of Allah subhanaw taala the Kaaba while they were
doing that they were making a DUA, they were begging Allah subhanaw taala did this work will be
blessed but did he say who Allah number one, accept this from us accept this strictly for your sake.
And this is another thing you can reflect on in sha Allah, Allah whenever you do anything, remember
		

			to do it for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala and that will help you to expect the best from him in
sha Allah, and in their da they acknowledged that Allah subhanaw taala is the only one who accept
the prayers in Naka Anta semi Alani you are the here the most knowledgeable, you know the intent you
know, that we are doing it sincerely for your sake and then they continue with their Doha division
is not limited to just oh Allah accept this from us. Division is way beyond beyond that they
continue on burner, John Mosley, Nene laka the Rio Tina, Latin moose limit and LEC were Elina SICA
now to Bala Hina, in Mecca and that will Rafi Oh Allah made us sincerely submissive to you Muslim
		

			name. Islam made us completely enter into this religion in full submission to your will not only
that, and from among our descendants, it's not about me and my children.
		

			alone it's about the entire human race and guide us in our rituals in our prayers in our worship and
accept our repentance when we are accept our repentance in NACA into tillable Rahim, you are the one
who accept the repentance. You are the one who is most Merciful. Not only that they didn't stop
there. Their vision is bigger and bigger and bigger around Ben our bath theme lawsuit than mere two
wanting to go are you on Lemuel keytab hate metal I use a key in in Mecca and tele as he is on your
hockey, Allahu Akbar, oh Allah and send among them a messenger from amongst themselves not a
stranger, not a foreigner just from amongst themselves who would recite upon them your versus your
		

			eye at and he will teach them your revelation. He will teach them wisdom, reasoning, reflections,
and He will purify them from ignorance. He will purify them from shirk. That's what Ibrahim alayhis
salam and his son were asking Allah for Subhan Allah, they didn't just care about their time. I
fulfill my obligation. That's it. They were making a dua for you, my brothers and sisters. Look at
that. Subhanallah look at the vision look at the legacy they wanted to leave behind. That's why
every single prayer we perform, whether it is obligatory or optional prayer, we mentioned the name
of Ibrahim alayhis salam and his family Allahumma Salli ala Muhammad Ali Muhammad, come as a lighter
		

			other Ibrahim, wanna Ali Ibrahim in Naka Hamidah Majeed Oh Allah as you have blessed Muhammad
Sallallahu Sallam and his family. Bless Ibrahim alayhi salam and his family to follow every single
prayer. That's the legacy that he had left behind. What have you planned to leave behind? Ask
yourself this question. That's why Allah Subhana Allah Allah mentioned in the next area that Allah
had selected this man had chosen that man to be unique wala called estafa in whorfin duniya we're in
		

			the lamina saw the thing. We have chosen him in this dunya we chose him to be our Helene, our
friend, our intimate friend. Can you see the honor? Can you can you imagine being the friend of
Allah subhanaw taala we're in Hoefler karate Lemina solid Hain and of course on the Day of Judgment,
you will be among the righteous why is that? Why Allah subhana wa Tada. Chosen Ibrahim alayhi salam
to place in such a degree Subhan Allah Ravi, if we can reflect over just one quality of course we
can just pick one quality Ibrahim alayhi salam is simply an ocean of qualities Subhanallah we can
pick one, but what is that one thing that Allah subhanaw taala talked about in the same in the same
		

			in the context of the ayah that we just recited. If Barnala horombo o s Lim all Aslam Toliara Villa
I mean when his Lord, when Allah subhanaw taala told him a slum, embrace Islam accept this way of
life. Immediately, without hesitation without questioning. He said, I surrender I submit to Allah
subhanaw taala the creator of the entire universe, that's the end result of his reflections in
pondering over the creation of Allah subhanaw taala this can never be the production of any other
than Allah subhanaw taala Islam in its true sense, was demonstrated and displayed in the life and in
the legacy of Ibrahim Ali Sinha. What have you planned to leave behind and my brothers and sisters
		

			reflect over this? Allah subhanaw taala is going to fulfill his vision of spreading this beautiful
Deen with or without you. So you better be part of it. Subhan Allah you better start noting down
things that you want it to produce, to leave behind, before you depart this dunya for the sake of no
one other than Allah subhanaw taala and as a result, Pamela what will happen? Allah will open doors,
Allah will bless you from means that you've never even expected Oh my your tequila, yet dalda whom
Raja whosoever became conscious of Allah subhanaw taala Allah will provide you from means that
you've never even planned or thought of So may Allah subhanaw taala grant us the right understanding
		

			and may Allah subhanaw taala enable us to do something in this dunya that will be our legacy which
will help us in our grave to accumulate as many good deeds
		

			As as possible, so that on the Day of Judgment, we can big Allah subhanaw taala and tell him we are
expecting nothing in return. But goodness. May Allah Subhana Allah accept from one and all Amin,
Amin, amin, Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi overcut.
