Waseem Hendricks – 1st Muharram 1446

Al Qaeda, mandala NAFSA, Rasul Asmaa mentioned that the

intelligent person among you is the one that will go and take

stock of himself. So it was important for us last night, as we

know that Rasulullah Sallam mentioned as the INA Malama

Bindiya, our intentions are just according to our actions. Our

actions are just according to our intentions are one, right? So it

is very important for us to know and understand that everything

that the believer does it is based on his intention, if your

intention is good and for the sake of Allah, and that is why it's

always good to ask people if, if you ask him for do I ask? Please

ask Allah to grant me sincerity in my actions, Allah, because many a

times we can lose it. You know, the praise is so nice, and

sometimes we start feeling that we are doing and it's because of my

doings, but we forgetting Allah is the one that allow us to do

whatever we do. So it's very imperative for us to understand

that our actions are according to our intentions, if our intentions

was good. And that is why, when you start the action of good and

it this, the end of the cycle will be that the reward will also be

good. But can you imagine you start something on based on

something which is haram and which is not allowed and which is

frowned upon by Allah? How do we expect for the end resulting to be

good?

So that is why look at your intentions. And Allah, mentioned

in the Quran, make ample intentions, make a lot of

intentions, and make good intentions. But with that

intentions comes what comes to in Allah, mentioned in the in the

Allah love the ones put the dust in Allah. So when we make

intentions, we already understand that we cannot do anything it is

Allah because, and that is why last night was so great for us as

the UMass in the Ummah, because you saw Allah gives us enough

opportunity by mentioning in naman, aramala Bucha, that how you

end of your actions, actions is also very, very important by

Allah. So as you go along with that intention, good intentions

that you've made. Now you take stock as an intelligent person, as

the Prophet saw some call you now say, Did I follow up with the good

intentions that I've done?

If it is not, then I can still say, oh, Allah, forgive me. I did

it for this purpose and for that purpose, I was wrong, and now we

can make it right at the end SubhanAllah. And that is why

Muharram is such a beautiful time for us. And one of the beautiful

Ahadith Rasul assalam is being mentioned. And Abu Mura, one of

the most prominent of the ashaba Rasul assalam, who, by some of the

narrations, mentioned that he he is the one, he is the one that

narrated the most Ahadith Rasul after Ayesha rata, obviously,

because Aisha lived in the house of Rasulullah. So Allah, she was a

very intelligent peace person. That is why the people that say

that we are the Ummah that oppress the women Subhanallah women were

one among the most intelligence of women of our time. So that is why

the greatest of fakiha, the greatest of the one who understood

Deen in the time of Rasul sama was Aisha radiAllahu taala, and many

of the ASHA male and female took from Aisha Rana. That's why you

will see when we quote fit, had based on Fit guru Maram reading,

you find Aisha Abu as name popping up almost all the time because she

lived with the messenger, spoke and had conversations with her

with regards to fit so never, ever Are we the ones who put down look

down upon our women folk? No, we empower our women folk. Allah

always allow our women to stand out inshaAllah and always be

guided and protected by Allah. So Abu, whoever he reports that

missing was asked as to which Salah was most excellent after the

prescribed Salah. So we started,

what is so important about salah. Salah is what, what is the actual

translation of Salah? Anybody knows dua? Dua. It is dua. It is

conversation with Allah. It is being in Allah's Presence. And so

that salah, it's very important for us to take note of it. And

here an important

point was mentioned by the prophet Salla after this one Salah that

you should try to always upkeep right? The Prophet SAW religion,

what is that? It was asked, What was the most excellent after the

prescribed and which fast was most excellent after the month of

Ramallah? Because we know that fasting, it's a great act. It's an

act that Allah is the only one that will reward

only Allah, and nobody knows that

there.

More than fasting. Nobody knows. Allah says, me, I am the one that

will reward. And there's no reward that we can

to quit. Allah knows, alone with Allah will give us. So special is

fasting that there's a special door that Allah gives for the

people of fasting to enter jam with noone else will enter, and

noone nobody will be able to exit that door once they enter through

them. So this is also, again, a bad inshallah. And what is the

most important Salah after he said, Salah offered in the middle

of the night, which is Tanju.

Tanju. Tanju is such, such a neglected sunnah today, because

what overtook us,

kusala,

kusada. We are so. Lazy,

sleep became the order of the day. We sleep in the afternoons. We

sleep at night. We sleep in the mornings. We oversleep.

SubhanAllah. Sleep is such an important thing of our lives,

whereby, if we look into the life of us harsh, we look into the life

of rasas. And there's many things that Allah mentioned to them, yay

will resume for real. And you stand up at night. Don't sleep.

It's not time for the believer to sleep. A believer has spoken to

the devil. Must take place all the time.

The day that the believer is this week, and we look at the face of

us,

and you see him smiling at you and say, mashallah, you've done well.

Now you enter with me, Allah,

tahajjud is important. Tahajjud must be revived in our time. The

100 cannot be a Muslim statement. Now,

when we look at how

Masha was overtaken and overthrown, how

the Jewish lady, she said,

that

lady infiltrated Muslim I'm worried if we can make it

throughout the night till the next morning. Then we know we all

pounded the Muslims, and then nothing happened. The night, the

Muslims did not even come to be to mate this to the masjid of Fajr.

And what happened here?

Hold them here. They understood the Muslims is not there for Fajr.

Humbu Allah, we have the upper hand,

and So may Allah allow us never to oversleep for for the Farah first

in Asha. These are two very important in ASR, so that must

stop these Salah was trying to always, and this is the most

difficult in the morning a Shay at night in Asad, business time as

her time, Fajr time, sleep time you shy, time and meet them tired,

the day was long, SubhanAllah. But besides those, the Prophet saw the

mixes. Wake up with 100

This is the most important Salah after your Farah. If you do this,

you ask Allah, Allah, immediately answers. Can you imagine all the

Muslims waking up with 100 asking Allah, what will happen?

Allah will forsake us. Can't be it's impossible. But the Muslims

are not waking up. The

Muslims are asleep.

The people of other faiths, earlier than the Muslims, as you

POA, were running after this world, and the Muslims were in the

trap for doing the same. And then the best fast of Ramallah is the

fast of Shahrukh. Allah mentioned it in it is the fast of shahru,

Allah in Muharram, the fast of the month of Allah. He mentioned in

particular, specifically, this is the month of Allah. So fast, there

is so much of significance of fasting in this month. And that is

why we in this first few days of Muharram, there's a lot of

descending. We cannot be asleep. We must draw from the treasures of

Allah. Now the ninth and the 10th of Muharram, the 10th of the 11th,

10th and the 11th of haram, is important, imperative us instill

this within the lives of your children, your family members,

fast on these days, there are many other Mondays and Thursdays. We

need to revise this. This is how the Ummah was strengthening the

time of an they did all the Sunnah. They practiced upon the

Sunnah. They understood what the Sunnah meant. And it must mean

something to us. It must become something that. It means something

to us, that my child cannot enter the Monday in a Thursday, my child

cannot eat on the ninth and the 10th and the 10th and 10th and

11th. It's impossible. These are the time that we emulate. So we

will understand

the greatness, what will come from it, if you practice this, and may

we become that Ummah again, take heed of this Sumana Brasil,

fasting after the best fast after Iran. Is this possible? We have it

upon our doorstep. Did we make intentions ready? You know, they

say that you must make New Year's resolutions. Let's say that's

Western ideology. But we as Muslims, we have resolutions,

because no year can be the same like the next year. We must have

good resolution, New Year's resolutions. Ya Allah, I thought

I'd be the same Muslim that it was yesterday.

Here I need to be a bitter Muslim. Allow us to be bitter Muslims,

pious Muslims, Inshallah, and those who draw from the tradition

of Allah, that will draw from the great light of the Sunnah of

Rasulullah, because he came with such a lifestyle that Allah is

pleased. If you follow that lifestyle, Allah will be pleased

with us. Can we imagine the statement Allah will be pleased

with us if we follow His Beloved. So this is Father is beloved, and

may Allah allow us understanding Inshallah, Inshallah, for the

first 10 days, we will have some good talks about Muharram and what

is transpiring Muhammad. Will mention many things and many

happenings that occur in Muhammad, mashallah, that we can treasure

because which other religion can do this. Speak about a month where

there's so much greatness of the messengers into no one. We have

this documented, and it's authenticated Subhanallah that it

is differently on the authority of these great buyers, Subha that

heard it from the lips of The Mubarak lips of sibling Allah,

allow us understand

as
