For you Islam
as your religion.
And today, we celebrate that Ni'mah, that favor
that he bestowed upon us.
If this is the case,
that means this religion was completed, was revealed.
There is no space, there is no place
for someone to change it, for someone to
add to it, or change anything from it,
the sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
Anyone who will add thing to religion,
or remove something from the religion or practice
in the religion something not from the way
of the Prophet
It's what we call
The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam called us an
innovation in religion and every innovation in religion
is misguided.
And he said, salallahu alaihi wasallam, whoever invented
anything in this matter,
not from it, it is rejected as an
imam Muslim reported.
I remind myself and my brothers and sisters
today
that the greatest obligation upon us all as
Muslims is to submit ourselves to Allah, is
to worship Allah alone,
is to completely submit to His will and
to obey Him
O mankind.
Worship your Lord, the one who created you
and those who before you.
Allah have prescribed upon you that you only
worship him. That's why my brothers and sisters,
one of the most obligated
upon us
after worshiping Allah
is to honoring all these act of worship,
even before practicing it, to honor salah
before we pray, to honor siam before we
fast, to honor all the religion of Muhammad
and to have it in the highest level
in our heart, in our respect, in our
mind.
And this is something we should teach our
children and family member.
And we should know and realize
that being careless about the Haram
is worse than doing the Haram itself.
The obligations in Islam,
some are related
solely to Allah
and some are joint, things that we do
it for Allah, but also we do it
as a duty and responsibility
toward others.
And when it comes to the obligations between
us and Allah
the greatest after Tawhid,
after worshiping Him,
and submitting our heart and will to him
subhanahu wa ta'ala,
as salat. Fahiyaamududdeen.
As salat is the main pillar in Islam.
It is what the prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam
was ordered to establish. Perform
the salat.
Indeed, salat
prevent you from doing what is evil.
To the extent that the Prophet said,
What distinguish
the Muslim from the non Muslim is this
daily 5 prayers that we pray. Whoever leave
them have became a kafir, have became
a disbeliever.
My brothers and sisters, it is the first
thing you will be asked about in the
day of judgment.
The first thing you will be asked about,
by Allah, your salah. If it is good,
you are successful.
After that, whatever comes after that is easy.
And if it's not,
and if it's not, you lose. You are
among the losers in the day of judgment
reported by Tirmiri.
Make sure that we put that in the
heart, in our hearts, in our mind all
the time, the importance of salah. And our
children, our family, and make sure that we
establish the salah in the masajid that Allah
order us to have.
As for
the obligations
towards other humans,
on the top of that lust, it will
come your obligation toward your parents.
There is nothing more important.
There is no one more important to you
to honor, to respect,
to help, to be there for them, to
spend time with them than your parents.
Allah order us to worship him and to
be good to our parents. Allah
prescribed upon mankind
to be kind to their parents and to
their,
to their mothers and fathers.
Be aware of harming them
physically,
emotionally,
or through words, even through face expressions.
It is not allowed and it is considered
one of the major sin in Islam.
And after that, the rights of your spouse,
the rights of your children,
of your family members, of your neighbors,
of your,
fellow citizen and community member,
and also your responsibility
towards your Muslim brothers around the world.
And among
the priority, the people who have the most
rights upon us, those who are oppressed,
those who are treated
unfairly and unjustly. And on the top of
that lust will be our brothers and sisters
in Palestine.
Their calamity is great. The amount of injustice
that they're dealing and enduring
is unbelievable.
And
how people forsake them and can see
the right basic rights that they deserve, that
deserve from us
to be there for them through our dua,
through all legal means to support them financially,
or to support them politically,
or to
public
or to make sure to propagate
on their behalf about their rights and about
the injustice that they are suffering
and going through.
That Ibn Nabi
said the best thing that a Muslim can
offer today, the Dhir Fiyyih,
is to offer a sacrifice.
It's basically
then sacrificing
of animals.
And that's one of the most beloved and
the most rewarding thing that you do today.
An Udhiya, it is a highly recommended sunnah.
Nabi
never missed the Udhiya while he's traveling or
resident
He encouraged people to do it through words
and through actions
He make
with camels,
cows, and rams and sheep
On behalf of himself, his family members and
his Ummah, salallahu alayhi wa sallam.
Therefore,
turn in prayer to your lord, which we
just did.
And to your lord,
to pray to your lord and sacrifice
to him only, which is the that we
offer.
And for every nation, we have appointed religious
sermons that they may mention the name of
Allah over the best of cattle that he
has given them for food. And that's
our nation's
sermons that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala asked to
do. It is allowed to give someone else
some money to do it in your behalf,
but make sure that you tell your children
about about
the purpose of.
And with this, I want to make this
point because my kids asked me this question.
And I asked my mom my my my
wife,
mom, if Allah asked you to kill me,
would you kill me? Because when you tell
them the story of Ibrahim alaihi salam, father
would you kill me? And the point that
you have to make sure to understand
and to make sure that your children understand
as well, that Ibrahim alaihis salam knows that
Allah will never let him kill his son.
Allah
never intend for him to kill his son.
Allah
knows that he will Ibrahim knows that Allah
will not ask for such thing. He knows
it was a test. It's to show how
much submission,
how much Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala have rights
over Ibrahim's heart. Otherwise, Ibrahim knows that Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will not ask such things.
Anybody knows Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. An average
person of us will know that Allah will
not ask you of such thing. But what
do you think of Ibrahim He
knows that this was a test not to
show anyone but yourself and the world how
much you're willing to submit.
Otherwise, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala have prepared this
to be a lessons that He would never
ask you to do such things. He will
ask you something way much less than that,
and you should be willing to submit to
His will and to answer His call
My brothers and sisters, whoever buying the old
here, make sure that you buy the most,
healthy one, the one with a lot of
meat.
And the cows has to be 2 years
and older, or the
sheep has to be 6 months or older.
And for the goat has to be 1
year or older,
and for the camels 5 years or older.
There are 4 that are unacceptable for sacrifice.
A one eyed animal
who defect is obvious, a sick animal
though whose sickness is obvious,
a a limbing animal whose limbing is so
obvious,
and
skinny
animal that it has no marrow in its
bone.
Hakadaqara
salallahu alaihiwasallam.
Wa
dabb and sacrifice should be in the day
of Eid or the next 3 days InshaAllah
Ta'ala until
the Maghrib of the next 3 days, the
last the 3rd day after the 4th day
after the 3rd day after Eid by the
end of Asr, the end of the time
for offering the. It is recommended to give
from it to the poor, to feed your
family, and to gift your neighbors and your
friends, and to invite people over. As if
miss Uddhul ibn Umar radiAllahu an said,
my brother and sisters,
the
day of Arafah, the day of sacrifice and
the days of itashree
are our festival.
As Muslims
and there are days of eating, drinking and
mentioning Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So make sure
that you increase your takbir
especially after the salawat, but you occupied your
day with
My brothers and sisters,
it is interesting to know that
Muslim globally,
including those who live in the United States,
have the youngest
median
age of all faith based communities.
And if this fact
means anything to us, it's to encourage us
to take care of our youth and to
make sure to educate them, to connect them
with Allah
to make sure that we take care of
them, raise them upon good principles
in life, and make sure that they honor
Allah, they honor their deen, they are proud
of their Islam.
Young people
need models, not critiques.
So let's be a good model for our
brothers and for our young brothers and sisters
who tomorrow will be the future
of our community.
Children might be 1 third of our community
today, but they are 100% of our community
tomorrow.
Good habits
formed
at youth
make all the difference when they grow up.
And finally I would like to send this
message to my sisters
as the Prophet
used to give us an end of his
khutba An Nasih had to assist to the
woman,
My sisters,
I find you the driving force behind most
of any successful work I have meant I've
seen in this in this community
and communities around the United States, around the
world.
Thank you for being the mother
that's raising the upcoming generation.
Thank you for being the wife who support
her husband and comfort him. Thank you for
being the shining star of our community.
My dear sisters,
a good mother is worth a 100 of
schoolmasters.
A good sister
is a role model
that can have great influence in society at
large. So make sure you understand this responsibility
and adhere to what Allah have ordered you
to be and what is expected from you.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless our family.
Bless our sisters and brothers.
Our Lord, you are a salam, the peace,
and the ultimate peace comes from you alone.
We ask you to bless us all with
peace and safety. We ask you, our lord,
to the grantor of security,
to bless us and our families,
our neighborhoods, our community, our nations,
and the world, and especially our brothers and
sisters in Palestine
with everlasting peace and security.
You are the creator of the heavens and
earth. You have created mankind in different colors,
language, nations, and tribes
so that we may got to know one
another and live in harmony. We ask you,
our Lord, the guide to open the hearts
and the minds of mankind
to value each other and to value human
life. And so that bloodshed
and destruction
stop all over the world
immediately. And we ask you, our patient Lord,
to grant patience to those who are suffer
from destructions,
violence
committed by others.
We ask you the compassionate
Lord to bestow your mercy upon those who
are suffering
from desires,
from disasters,
poverty,
and oppression,
war.
We ask you, the god, our protected,
oh Allah,
to protect and to
to protect and oppress and help them
rebuild,
to protect and,
to protect and help those who are in
disaster to rebuild their lives, and fill the
hearts of the oppressor
with mercy,
and to stop their aggression
and to make things turn against them.
Oh lord, you are the loving one. Replace
any hatred in our hearts with love,
mercy, and compassion
for even our worst of enemies.
Take away our arrogance and replace it with
humility
so that we may forgive
and tolerate one another. Oh, Allah,
give us patience
during time of anger
so that we may forgive
those who treat us unfairly and unjustly.
And give us strength
to stop
injustice as well.
Oh, Lord,
make us among those
faithful believers
who respond to evil
with something better. Oh, Allah, bless and guide
our
community,
our nations, our leaders,
and our ummah,
and their leaders to what is best for
their citizen.
Yemen,
and gather the Muslims around the truth.
