			Greet everyone with the most
beautiful greeting, the

			greeting the greeting of Islam, as
well as the greeting of Jannah,

			salaam, Alaikum, Alhamdulillah,
honored we are Allah
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:33
			has granted and afforded us, once
again, an opportunity to perform
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:38
			Salah al Jamar. We also have the
privilege that we can be a part of
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			this beautiful evening, the
evening of Juma, as we know that
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			Rasulullah sallallahu, Sallam
mentioned that there's not a day
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			where the sunrise that is better
than the day of Juma. So
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50
			inshaAllah, may Allah allow us to
witness the day of Juma. And we
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:54
			know that we find ourselves on a
Thursday night, on Leela to Juma,
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:58
			and Rasulullah encourage us to
make abundance of Salawat upon
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:02
			Rasulullah sallallahu, especially
on a Thursday night, on a Friday
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			Inshallah, let us have three
Salawat at least, that we sent
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			for, starting inshaAllah, because
I know that all of us will have
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:12
			ample Salawat tonight, sending it
upon SallAllahu, alayhi, wa
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			sallam, through sending
salutations upon him, take away
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			our worries and our stress and
forgive us for our sins. Amin
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:21
			arapa, alamin as yusula mentioned
to us that the one who sends
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			salutations upon me, Allah
subhanho wa Taala will take away
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:27
			his hum. He is what he is in Allah
subhanho wa Taala will forgive him
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:34
			for his sins. So we start
inshaAllah, Allah, Muhammad Ya
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:44
			Rabbi Salli alayhi wa salli Mala
masala Allah, Muhammad,
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:54
			Salli alaihi wasallim Allah.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:55
			Mas
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			Ali
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			was Salim Allah salimah
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:13
			Ali. When the authority of Abu
Hurairah isallah, he says that a
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:18
			strong believer is better and more
beloved in the sight of Allah
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:21
			subhanahu wa di a weak believer,
this is something for us to
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25
			contemplate. And I see what has
transpired Allah subhanho wa
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:29
			taala, tadar. Everything that is
happening is happening through the
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			world and the power of Allah
subhanho wa taala, and through the
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:35
			permission of Allah subhanho wa
taala, we are in a situation, in a
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:39
			state where we see that Masha
Allah, the world, is waking up to
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:44
			atrocities that happen for years,
and somehow we still find those
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			with the blinkers on their eyes
that don't see the truth. But
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:51
			Allah subhanahu wa has plans with
everything, and we know that
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:55
			Allah's plan is the best of plans,
no matter what the plan, whether
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			you are the oppressor, whether we
find ourselves in a believing
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:02
			state, but we have doubts Allah's
plan is the best plan. And here is
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:05
			Allah mentioned to us that a
strong believer is bitter and more
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:08
			beloved to Allah, subhanho wa
taala, than the weak believer. And
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:12
			I think through the situation that
occurs today in the world, even
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:16
			the weak believers started to work
on the Imaan because they can see
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:20
			what is happening. They're
starting to see reality that this
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:24
			is a battle that we have to fight.
This is a war that we have to win,
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			and Allah subhanahu wa is in
charge and in control of this.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:32
			However, the Prophet SAW mentioned
there is good in both times. We
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			are not going to say that who is
weak and who strong? Allah knows
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			best, who is weak and who strong?
Alhamdulillah, Allah protect
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:41
			humankind so beautifully that
Allah subhanahu wa says He created
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:45
			us in in tribes, in different
ethnicities. But the reason for
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48
			that is litah arafu In order for
us to get to know each other. And
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:52
			then immediately after that, ALLAH
SubhanA wa Taala mentions in
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:58
			alahit Kaku, amazingly, Allah
speaks. Allah subhanahu wa is
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:02
			actually giving us, you know, some
insight. You know, think about it.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			Imagine we could see each other's
Taqwa.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			You know, you would have said,
Mahana, you can't stand in front
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:13
			I've got more Taqwa than you. How
can you lead us in salah? Because
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:17
			I know I have more Taqwa than you.
Allah subhanahu wa protect his
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:21
			creation so beautifully. Allah
subhanahu wa encouraged us to work
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:25
			on taqwa and to become a mutaki,
to become conscious of Allah and
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:29
			continue to be conscious of Allah.
Subhanahu wa could see the
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			consciousness of somebody else in
Allah,
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:35
			we would have think that we are
SubhanAllah. We are mighty men,
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:38
			because I'm five times a day in
the masjid. He's not five times a
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			day in the masjid. So
automatically, my tap was more
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			than yours, and I'm sincere and
you're not sincere. Now we start
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:47
			to see sincerity as well. But
Allah subhanho wa Taala honored us
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:51
			as humankind. He said that he
fashioned us in the best way. No
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:55
			one is better shaped than the
humans. Allah subhana wa Taala
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:59
			says in routine, lakad, khalaq nal
in Sana fi Sanita, Queen.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			The most beautiful Allah
proportion as so beautifully. And
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			that's why mashallah brothers,
when it's looking the mirror, you
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:11
			can look at yourself. He created
me so beautiful. But with that
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:16
			comes the DUA, Allah and sinful
looking make the DUA, you know
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:20
			Asmaa outward is beautifully
Allah. Make also beautiful. Inside
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23
			I must also be beautiful. It's not
only about the apparent is outside
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:26
			what is bartin is very important.
Our spirituality is very
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:30
			important. So Allah, subhanaw,
Taala mission, just say the weak
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			and the strong amongst the
believers, right? Allah love the
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36
			one who has more and who's more
strong. Allah love them more,
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			right? But both of them,
Alhamdulillah, there's good in
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:39
			them, right?
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:44
			So, Inshallah, there's much that
we can say about it, but today is
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			not the time for us to discuss and
go into depth with it. And he
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:50
			Salah Salam, goes on by saying, be
eager to carry out such deeds that
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:54
			will benefit you and seek Allah's
assistance. And do not become lax,
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			you know. So so we see the
situation, and we were all hyped
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:02
			up when it started, but if we ask
ourselves now? No, we were hyped
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:06
			up. We were upset. When the whole
start, this whole story started.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:11
			Where are we now? Did we become
lax? Are we back in our traits
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:15
			again? Alhamdulillah, I'm not
anymore waking up with Ajit. I'm
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:21
			not anymore shedding tears. Don't
become lax. Stay firm and strong
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:25
			as a believer. Remember the strong
believer. He is more beloved in
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:29
			the sight of Allah subhanahu wa
and he's also regarded as being
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:32
			better than the weak believer. So
let us work on our strength as
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:36
			believers. Inshallah in Iman. And
then he saw him. Goes on by
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:40
			saying, if something afflicts you,
do not say, if only and that is
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:44
			something that we struggle with,
you know, if things don't happen
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:48
			our year, if only I could do that,
if only I studied harder in
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:52
			university, I would have, you
know, I would have, if only, if
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:56
			only, this is something that the
Prophet Muhammad advised us on,
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:00
			right? We don't say, If only I had
done such and such. You should say
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:05
			instead, qadda, Allahu, WA Masya,
Allah. We should either say that
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:08
			Allah has decree and he does as he
wishes.
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12
			Sometimes we feel and we think ASA
and taqqan.
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:18
			We might think something is bad
for us, but it's actually hearing
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:24
			that for USA unto Hib, Bucha,
Shayan, and tohe Bona, Shayan,
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27
			fahua, sharul, aku. And sometimes
we think that term, something is
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:30
			very good for us, but it actually
turned out to be harmful for us.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:33
			Not so good. So Allah is in
control qadda, Allah, everything
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:37
			that Allah is decreed. He does as
he pleases as you wish. If Allah
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			wants to give you, Allah will give
you abundance. But also, if Allah
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			want to * away from you, he
will * away from you. Whether
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			it's a whether it's abundance or
whatever, Allah will test us the
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:48
			way Allah feels you all
Subhanallah for the word low
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:53
			kalima to low tuftan, the prophet,
but the word low, what does he do?
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:57
			It opens up the door for shaytaan
the moment we say, if only
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:02
			shaytaan loves that. He thrives
upon it. Ah, I got in. Yeah, true.
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:06
			If only you had to do this. You
had to do that. If only you went
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			magrib to the masjid that night.
But that night, he said, Don't go
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:12
			to the masjid. Understand, if only
the if only we start to build sand
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:17
			castles on and if only, if only we
say, as Muslims Qatar, Allah, we
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:21
			know that Allah is in control of
everything, of all our fears and
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			what Allah requires from us is,
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:29
			what is? What does Allah require
from us? We should place our trust
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:34
			in our tawakkul, in Allah and our
face and our face. Allah wants us
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:38
			to come with our problems and
place it in front of Allah. Allah
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:41
			don't want us to deal with it,
because Allah knows that if you're
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			going to have to deal with your
own problems, that's going to
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:46
			happen, we are going to be
stressed out. We're stressing
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			ourselves out. And this is for
amateur killings in our
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:52
			university. Guys, study as hard as
you can, but that's all that you
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:55
			can do. And after that, ya, Allah,
put my trust in you. Now, I've
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:59
			studied, I've done my bit, and
whatever the outcome, Wallah, he
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:03
			there is good in that for you,
everything in the path of
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			believer, there's good in it for
him, Allah knows best.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:10
			Become depressed, because that is
what shaytaan wants. He want to
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:13
			tell you you're not good enough. I
think you must give up on your
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:17
			studies. Man, yeah, do something
else. He makes you feel despondent
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20
			all the time. It doesn't want us
to thrive.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:24
			That is shaytaan, but may Allah
allow us to become strong
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:27
			believers. Because the strong
believer remember this words. It's
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:30
			not the words of Wasim, is the
words of Sayyidina, Muhammad,
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:33
			sallAllahu, Salla. It's in the
eyes of Allah, then the weak one.
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:37
			So we work on our Imaan, we work
on our faith, and we don't become
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:41
			lax and remember that we have a
situation globally. Now that's
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:44
			happening. And Allahu, Akbar, the
people are waking up. Today was
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:49
			one of my, my happiest days.
Bahrain, you know, Colombia, all
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:53
			of the West, the Western countries
are coming together and standing
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:57
			against Israel. They realize that
this is an apartheid state. This
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			is genocide that is happening. We
cannot tolerate.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			And allow this to happen. Who is
this? Non Muslims, brothers and
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:06
			sisters, listen to this. Non
Muslims. How come we, as Muslims,
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:07
			are still sleeping,
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:13
			become strong believers, those
with faith in Allah. We cry at
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:17
			night and we Allah, we won't stop
crying till you bring victory to
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:21
			the Mujahideen. That is the
strength of a believer. And
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:26
			yesterday, I said dua, Salah will
walk mean that the weapon of a
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:31
			believer is his dua. We cannot be
there. Nobody can get into Tel
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:35
			Aviv now, nobody who, if you can
be who, right? But what we can do
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:38
			is we can send our weapons. We can
say, Brother, let Malaika. It's
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:42
			coming. Yes, my sword. Take my
sword and slaughter him.
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:46
			Alhamdulillah, rapa, alamin Abu,
as is very powerful. Never give up
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:50
			on dua Allah, accept inshallah to
Muslim. Mean, good things are
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:54
			happening, but also it is a
reminder for us that end of times,
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:57
			when we look at what is happening
in the times are coming, we need
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:00
			to prepare ourselves. Remember the
sahabi Ara came and say Ya
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:04
			Rasulullah, when is the end of
time? When is the final hour
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:04
			coming?
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:09
			He asked, What have you prepared
for? That is important, what? What
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:13
			are we preparing to stand in front
of the Lord of the Worlds? What
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16
			are we going to answer, Allah,
allow us, Inshallah, to Allah, to
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:19
			be in the Mercy of Allah that
time, and Allah send us to Jannah
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:20
			through his mercy.
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			Because I don't know how we will
be able to answer Allah subhanho,
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:30
			Jaak Abu Asmaa, Salaman,
