Waseem Hendricks – Be Strong Believers 02 November 2023

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

has granted and afforded us, once again, an opportunity to perform

Salah al Jamar. We also have the privilege that we can be a part of

this beautiful evening, the evening of Juma, as we know that

Rasulullah sallallahu, Sallam mentioned that there's not a day

where the sunrise that is better than the day of Juma. So

inshaAllah, may Allah allow us to witness the day of Juma. And we

know that we find ourselves on a Thursday night, on Leela to Juma,

and Rasulullah encourage us to make abundance of Salawat upon

Rasulullah sallallahu, especially on a Thursday night, on a Friday

Inshallah, let us have three Salawat at least, that we sent

for, starting inshaAllah, because I know that all of us will have

ample Salawat tonight, sending it upon SallAllahu, alayhi, wa

sallam, through sending salutations upon him, take away

our worries and our stress and forgive us for our sins. Amin

arapa, alamin as yusula mentioned to us that the one who sends

salutations upon me, Allah subhanho wa Taala will take away

his hum. He is what he is in Allah subhanho wa Taala will forgive him

for his sins. So we start inshaAllah, Allah, Muhammad Ya

Rabbi Salli alayhi wa salli Mala masala Allah, Muhammad,

Salli alaihi wasallim Allah.

Mas

Ali

was Salim Allah salimah

Ali. When the authority of Abu Hurairah isallah, he says that a

strong believer is better and more beloved in the sight of Allah

subhanahu wa di a weak believer, this is something for us to

contemplate. And I see what has transpired Allah subhanho wa

taala, tadar. Everything that is happening is happening through the

world and the power of Allah subhanho wa taala, and through the

permission of Allah subhanho wa taala, we are in a situation, in a

state where we see that Masha Allah, the world, is waking up to

atrocities that happen for years, and somehow we still find those

with the blinkers on their eyes that don't see the truth. But

Allah subhanahu wa has plans with everything, and we know that

Allah's plan is the best of plans, no matter what the plan, whether

you are the oppressor, whether we find ourselves in a believing

state, but we have doubts Allah's plan is the best plan. And here is

Allah mentioned to us that a strong believer is bitter and more

beloved to Allah, subhanho wa taala, than the weak believer. And

I think through the situation that occurs today in the world, even

the weak believers started to work on the Imaan because they can see

what is happening. They're starting to see reality that this

is a battle that we have to fight. This is a war that we have to win,

and Allah subhanahu wa is in charge and in control of this.

However, the Prophet SAW mentioned there is good in both times. We

are not going to say that who is weak and who strong? Allah knows

best, who is weak and who strong? Alhamdulillah, Allah protect

humankind so beautifully that Allah subhanahu wa says He created

us in in tribes, in different ethnicities. But the reason for

that is litah arafu In order for us to get to know each other. And

then immediately after that, ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala mentions in

alahit Kaku, amazingly, Allah speaks. Allah subhanahu wa is

actually giving us, you know, some insight. You know, think about it.

Imagine we could see each other's Taqwa.

You know, you would have said, Mahana, you can't stand in front

I've got more Taqwa than you. How can you lead us in salah? Because

I know I have more Taqwa than you. Allah subhanahu wa protect his

creation so beautifully. Allah subhanahu wa encouraged us to work

on taqwa and to become a mutaki, to become conscious of Allah and

continue to be conscious of Allah. Subhanahu wa could see the

consciousness of somebody else in Allah,

we would have think that we are SubhanAllah. We are mighty men,

because I'm five times a day in the masjid. He's not five times a

day in the masjid. So automatically, my tap was more

than yours, and I'm sincere and you're not sincere. Now we start

to see sincerity as well. But Allah subhanho wa Taala honored us

as humankind. He said that he fashioned us in the best way. No

one is better shaped than the humans. Allah subhana wa Taala

says in routine, lakad, khalaq nal in Sana fi Sanita, Queen.

The most beautiful Allah proportion as so beautifully. And

that's why mashallah brothers, when it's looking the mirror, you

can look at yourself. He created me so beautiful. But with that

comes the DUA, Allah and sinful looking make the DUA, you know

Asmaa outward is beautifully Allah. Make also beautiful. Inside

I must also be beautiful. It's not only about the apparent is outside

what is bartin is very important. Our spirituality is very

important. So Allah, subhanaw, Taala mission, just say the weak

and the strong amongst the believers, right? Allah love the

one who has more and who's more strong. Allah love them more,

right? But both of them, Alhamdulillah, there's good in

them, right?

So, Inshallah, there's much that we can say about it, but today is

not the time for us to discuss and go into depth with it. And he

Salah Salam, goes on by saying, be eager to carry out such deeds that

will benefit you and seek Allah's assistance. And do not become lax,

you know. So so we see the situation, and we were all hyped

up when it started, but if we ask ourselves now? No, we were hyped

up. We were upset. When the whole start, this whole story started.

Where are we now? Did we become lax? Are we back in our traits

again? Alhamdulillah, I'm not anymore waking up with Ajit. I'm

not anymore shedding tears. Don't become lax. Stay firm and strong

as a believer. Remember the strong believer. He is more beloved in

the sight of Allah subhanahu wa and he's also regarded as being

better than the weak believer. So let us work on our strength as

believers. Inshallah in Iman. And then he saw him. Goes on by

saying, if something afflicts you, do not say, if only and that is

something that we struggle with, you know, if things don't happen

our year, if only I could do that, if only I studied harder in

university, I would have, you know, I would have, if only, if

only, this is something that the Prophet Muhammad advised us on,

right? We don't say, If only I had done such and such. You should say

instead, qadda, Allahu, WA Masya, Allah. We should either say that

Allah has decree and he does as he wishes.

Sometimes we feel and we think ASA and taqqan.

We might think something is bad for us, but it's actually hearing

that for USA unto Hib, Bucha, Shayan, and tohe Bona, Shayan,

fahua, sharul, aku. And sometimes we think that term, something is

very good for us, but it actually turned out to be harmful for us.

Not so good. So Allah is in control qadda, Allah, everything

that Allah is decreed. He does as he pleases as you wish. If Allah

wants to give you, Allah will give you abundance. But also, if Allah

want to * away from you, he will * away from you. Whether

it's a whether it's abundance or whatever, Allah will test us the

way Allah feels you all Subhanallah for the word low

kalima to low tuftan, the prophet, but the word low, what does he do?

It opens up the door for shaytaan the moment we say, if only

shaytaan loves that. He thrives upon it. Ah, I got in. Yeah, true.

If only you had to do this. You had to do that. If only you went

magrib to the masjid that night. But that night, he said, Don't go

to the masjid. Understand, if only the if only we start to build sand

castles on and if only, if only we say, as Muslims Qatar, Allah, we

know that Allah is in control of everything, of all our fears and

what Allah requires from us is,

what is? What does Allah require from us? We should place our trust

in our tawakkul, in Allah and our face and our face. Allah wants us

to come with our problems and place it in front of Allah. Allah

don't want us to deal with it, because Allah knows that if you're

going to have to deal with your own problems, that's going to

happen, we are going to be stressed out. We're stressing

ourselves out. And this is for amateur killings in our

university. Guys, study as hard as you can, but that's all that you

can do. And after that, ya, Allah, put my trust in you. Now, I've

studied, I've done my bit, and whatever the outcome, Wallah, he

there is good in that for you, everything in the path of

believer, there's good in it for him, Allah knows best.

Become depressed, because that is what shaytaan wants. He want to

tell you you're not good enough. I think you must give up on your

studies. Man, yeah, do something else. He makes you feel despondent

all the time. It doesn't want us to thrive.

That is shaytaan, but may Allah allow us to become strong

believers. Because the strong believer remember this words. It's

not the words of Wasim, is the words of Sayyidina, Muhammad,

sallAllahu, Salla. It's in the eyes of Allah, then the weak one.

So we work on our Imaan, we work on our faith, and we don't become

lax and remember that we have a situation globally. Now that's

happening. And Allahu, Akbar, the people are waking up. Today was

one of my, my happiest days. Bahrain, you know, Colombia, all

of the West, the Western countries are coming together and standing

against Israel. They realize that this is an apartheid state. This

is genocide that is happening. We cannot tolerate.

And allow this to happen. Who is this? Non Muslims, brothers and

sisters, listen to this. Non Muslims. How come we, as Muslims,

are still sleeping,

become strong believers, those with faith in Allah. We cry at

night and we Allah, we won't stop crying till you bring victory to

the Mujahideen. That is the strength of a believer. And

yesterday, I said dua, Salah will walk mean that the weapon of a

believer is his dua. We cannot be there. Nobody can get into Tel

Aviv now, nobody who, if you can be who, right? But what we can do

is we can send our weapons. We can say, Brother, let Malaika. It's

coming. Yes, my sword. Take my sword and slaughter him.

Alhamdulillah, rapa, alamin Abu, as is very powerful. Never give up

on dua Allah, accept inshallah to Muslim. Mean, good things are

happening, but also it is a reminder for us that end of times,

when we look at what is happening in the times are coming, we need

to prepare ourselves. Remember the sahabi Ara came and say Ya

Rasulullah, when is the end of time? When is the final hour

coming?

He asked, What have you prepared for? That is important, what? What

are we preparing to stand in front of the Lord of the Worlds? What

are we going to answer, Allah, allow us, Inshallah, to Allah, to

be in the Mercy of Allah that time, and Allah send us to Jannah

through his mercy.

Because I don't know how we will be able to answer Allah subhanho,
