Waseem Hendricks – 3rd Muharram 1446

Alhamdulillah, how's

everyone

doing?

Allah, except Amin Iraq. I mean, how fortunate we are that we could

make our Salah in Jamara. And as we hear the messages are going

around, everybody is fearing that tomorrow, subhanAllah, there's

going to be weather. It is unlike weather that we've noticed before,

but this is the decree of Allah. Allah shows us that I'm in control

of everything and you are not in control of absolutely nothing. And

this is how great the power and the might of our beloved Allah is.

And if we cannot see that these trials and these tribulations that

Allah place upon us is trying Allah himself trying to bring us

close to him, then what Jamaat Muslim mean? As we've mentioned in

the past, Allah, Allah brought a pandemic upon us. But look at the

masjid.

If you look at the masjid, it's empty. The masajid should be

filled, because Allah tested us with such such a thing that

happened in the past, when in the time of the Sahaba, it happened.

What happened the Iman Allah raised the Imam zadatum. Iman, can

you imagine, like a few years ago, we said we are going to work. We

are going to work now. We are going to work where, from this

room to that to that room. We're sitting still in our homes, and

we're working aji Bao, time has evolved, right and now

Subhanallah, because of a little bit of weather conditions, what's

happening? We are fearing. We are closing our businesses. We are

closing, okay, I don't know if the businesses are closing, but the

madari is the schools are closing. Our education systems are shutting

down. And what are we going to do? We are just going to sleep late.

Is it true? What are we going to do? We going to do? We're going to

sleep late, SubhanAllah. We have another extra day to sleep late,

but this is time that Allah is teaching us that you must turn to

me.

I want you to turn to me, because this is a sign that I'm giving you

of my power and my might. SubhanAllah. May Allah grant us

the understanding that we should be of those when we yearn we see

of these signs. It brings us closer to Allah. We are in a month

Jamaat al muslimin, where Allah again, Allah is Barakat again in

Allah's gifts, that Allah gift out throughout the years, but

specifically in specific times. We are in such a month where Allah is

going to dish out some of his nafahat, of his openings for us.

How many of us are searching for that openings, but Allah can open

for us, our risk. Allah can open for us, our rahmah. Allah can open

for us that our our family life can become better. Allah can open

for us whereby we can become better fathers and we can become

better mothers and we can become better neighbors. And this is

where we learn from the best of Allah subhanahu wa. He was the

cream of the crop. He they will never, ever be a person like

Muhammad Sallallahu, salaam a GID. And there was never, ever a person

like Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Jamaat al Muslimeen. This

is somebody, and this is a creation of Allah that we should

strive to get to know. How much do we know about him, how much do we

know about his life, how much do we know about his Sahaba, how much

do we know about his character, Allahu, Akbar, jamata, Muslim.

Mean, I promise, and I always when I have a conversation with those

who are not Muslim, I say, Wallahi you. You think every thought that

you have, but I guarantee you, and I challenge you read about

Muhammad Sallallahu, alayhi, wa sallam, and learn about Muhammad

Salla Salam. I promise you, and I challenge you that you will get to

love this person, this person called Muhammad, even though you

don't believe in him, but if you read about him, you will get to

love him. Look at the Guinea's Book of World Records. A non

Muslim Michael hearty, had to come about, and he had to do a survey.

And what did he say? Who is the most influential person in the

whole entire world for all times? He's not a Muslim. He is not a

Muslim. He is a non Muslim. By the way, he's a Christian. He was

massacred by the Christians afterwards. You know, he was

attacked. Because how can you make a statement like that? You should

have said Jesus. He said, Even if I can't, I've researched Jesus,

and I've researched Muhammad, and Muhammad is the greatest

individual ever to have walked the surface of the earth or what he

have achieved. Bucha Allah. What does Allah say? Rasul assalam,

saying in Allah, DEEN beraja al fawjim, that when Allah went to

assist his, DEEN Allah will assist his. Deen Allah don't need us.

Allah will even use the fujar, the people who transgress against

Allah.

AR, the criminals Allah will use to aid Allah's Deen *. These

are people that commit Sheik with Allah every day. They prove that

Muhammad SAW is the most influential person who ever walked

the surface of the Earth. This should teach us a lesson,

whether is shaking us where there should be Allah, Abu. Opportunity

for us to turn to Allah. Every opportunity that arise should be

in the Muslim's life. This is an opportunity for me to turn to

Allah and gain closeness to him. Jala jalalu, because this is his

signs. This is his signs that he shows us to grow closer to Him.

Jala Jalal fear Allah. We are in the month of Muharram, Jamaat al

Muslimeen, and say, na Jabir, radlowah, Anu Rasul, Salam sale.

He mentions, whoever expands his expenditure on his family on the

day of Ashura. And this is important. You know, how many of

us? We give so much out there, we are willing to spend everywhere.

We outreach and everywhere. But when it comes to our own

households, Allah, we are the most. We are the buchala. We are

extremely stingy. When it comes to our family members, your wife ask

you for something now stop. Nobody's

only 10 grand for bread. Oh, I bought bread yesterday, but you've

got five kids like Michelle

in one meal, the bread is done. Mahan, Allah,

three brother,

but we need to expand and expenditure give inshallah in the

Cause of Allah. Right on the day of Ashura, Allah will increase his

sustenance for the rest of that year. Can you imagine now how much

faith do we have? In the words of the best of Allah's creations,

Allah, He says, spend that day on your family. Take your family out,

buy toys for your kids, right? Buy food for the home, buy and treat

your wife, go to a restaurant, go and spend on your family. And the

nice thing about spending on the family is what it is not only a

sadaqah on the day, spending on the family, it's a sadaqah on the

day. And what do you benefit? Also, sila to Rahim, bringing

family members together, alright, creating a love and developing a

love among your family members. That is amazing. And ALLAH

messenger says, If you spend on the family, you get two rewards,

not only one. If you give sadaqah outside, it's just a charity that

you give and you will be rewarded for the charity. But if you spend

in your family, you get the reward of a charity, and you get the

reward of Salat or Rahim. And the one who makes Salat or Rahim Allah

makes Allah with him. Allah join times with that person. So the

moment you give to your family, no, you're making Salat or Rahim,

Allah, at that moment also bonds with you and joins with you,

because Allah wants you close to him. Allah allow us the

understanding of this hadith. So you said that I have been doing

this for 50 to 60 years, and have always seen the benefit in it.

Sofi anim is one of the soon prominent one who is

one of the narrators of a Hadith from the Prophet Muhammad

sallallahu alaihi wasallam. He says that I've done this listening

to Rasulullah that spend on the day of Ashura, and for 50 to 60

years of my life, I've done this, and I've never been disappointed.

I've seen the benefit of this. Allahu, Akbar. How many times in

the year we cry to Ali Allah, akanta, don't get it. Think about

it. Did I spend on Ashura? Because Allah promised, through the words

of Muhammad, saw, if you spend on that day in the family, I will

sort out your sustenance for the entire year. So this year, how do

you spend? You don't spend because Mawlana said, Don't do that. And

it's not right. You spend because I want to spend for the sake of

Allah and my family. Be genuine about it. Don't spend your

Swahili. But if I must spend because malakasi, no, not like

that. Spend because of the words of the soul. SallAllahu, sallam,

because you have faith in your Creator that he is going to open

up my pathway for the entire year, and may Allah accept it from us.

Inshallah, BarakAllahu, Allah, bliss tomorrow we have inshallahud

will give us a talk tomorrow. Is one of the young graduates of

manata Karan school. MashaAllah, only last year is fresh tomorrow,

tomorrow, madrasa Inshallah, when His madrasa again. Allah Blish
