And
Then those
do
not favor
Allah subhanahu wa is not among them.
Allah subhanahu wa from them, Allah protect us from this, we are
so fortunate if we can still receive the gaze of Allah.
We thank Allah subhanho wa Taala for sending us a
person with the best of character,
Allah subhanahu wa describing as the best of examples, and here we
are, the ummah of Sayyidina, Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa
sallam,
sending our choices. Salutations on Rasulullah a seeking Allah
subhanahu wa as we say, Allah humma, suddenly, Allah Sayyidina
Muhammad.
Muhammad was happy. Here
we are, Ya Allah to we the same sanitations upon this messages of
Allah Ali, was it we ask you, Ya Allah, on behalf of us, the same
choices, salutations upon our Master. Say in a Muhammad
Sallallahu, alayhi, was it Jamaat al Muslimeen,
we have a Nabi that we know he was the best, and he is the best. He
will always be the best. Allah subhanahu wa calls him that he is
the one that Allah said with perfect character,
and Allah subhanahu wa described to us in many forms and ways that
we will be able to achieve to be among the people who are regarded
as the best of people.
Can we imagine? Some of us might think now
it's not probable for me to be among the best people. It's not
probable. Why? Because what goes on our mind is we probably have to
worship 24 hours. You probably have to give charity in a way that
I'm not able to do.
You probably have to be good husbands,
a difficulty deities to be a good Aspen. Why the wife rule for the
iron first. No matter how tall she is or how short she is, she will
give you a hard time. Submahad Allah, as they used to say in the
past, dynamite comes in small packages.
So we regard the women sometimes as being, you know, very soft and
tender and emotional beings. But somehow the men became the
emotional beings. And Allah aid, as in a sisters, and Allah grant
to speak to us and our sisters, Amin, I mean,
but we might have all these thoughts
that will I be able to be among the dish people,
beautifully mentioned in many ways, in many Ahadi, how
simplified the deen of Islam is.
It's not hard work for you to become of the best of people, and
among them, all
we need to do is follow the guidelines set by the messenger
salt. For us to
follow that to the best of our mobility, and we will end up to be
insured Allah, Allah subhanahu wa mercy and Allah's assistance to
become of the best of people. And the beauty part for the people of
Iran is it will not only be for us in this world,
it will be that we will become among the best people in this
life,
as well as in the next a.
Allahu, majna, Allah grant us to be from among them. So
Jamaat, ruslavim, the first Hadith we want to speak about today.
It is a Hadith that I want to mention, and the reason we speak
about this is because we've just exited the glorious and beautiful
and sacred land
a month
where our prophet Ali Salatu was
sent by
Allah subhanahu wa came as a means to show the Mercy of Allah Subhan
wa Taala first to his creation and how Allah Subhan wa Taala sent him
to show us how we will be able to receive this rahmah easily.
May Allah grant us
His rahmael and His was born in this month, and Allah He
throughout the month. Many of us, we probably read inshaAllah about
the seerah of the prophet Ali salatu. As me to speak about the
importance of the seerah and studying the seerah of the Prophet
alayhi salatu wasalam, many of us might have listened to lectures
and talks and attend classes with regards to the seerah of the
Prophet alayhi salatu wasalam, his lifestyle and we were affected by
it.
For those who are not affected by listening to the messages of Allah
story, Allah, Allah subhanahu wa, their hearts become so hard that
they will not be able to and Allah subhanahu WA, we
are not even able to make the shed a deer for the in the course of
Allah, we shed a deer just for Allah, Subhanahu wa, because we
will be regarded as weaklings if we cry. And this is what has
happened to us, was a weakling in Allah,
crying is not a form of weakness.
It describes the Mahatma, the love that we have for Allah. And these
are souls of Allah.
So this month really suffered our hearts. But what need to happen
now is we need to, Inshallah, to emulate the lifestyle of the
Prophet alayhi Salat. Was
it must become part of our practice. It must become part of
our family life. It must become part of our social life. It must
become part of our Muhammad, our buying and selling and our
contracts.
Everything that we have learned about Rasulullah, it is not
something just for the moment. It is something that we need to
consider, that we need to implement that in our lives to be
successful and to be standing why he says in our Muhammad on the day
when we going to need it so much, under the banner of SallAllahu
sallam, in order for him to take us with him through the doors of
Jannah. Allah grant us to be of the inhabitants of Jannah. AMI
so Jamaat rumbien, one of the Hadith I've mentioned in a way
that we can emulate the Rasul, as we say,
why do we mention this hadith? We start by saying, when it was
passed to his beloved wife, Aisha,
meaning, oh, the Mother of the Believers, man in
Muhammad, who is Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa
sallam. Answer she's
giving.
She
says
he was the Quran.
He is the Living Quran.
We need to understand what she says, every verse that has been
revealed, I Muhammad, sallAllahu, Quran,
we read
the book. You
want to see the action of it.
Look at Muhammad Rasulullah,
the Constitution that Allah has given us. You want to see how to
follow it.
I'm not talking about the constitution of
South Africa. You speak al
but here we cannot do it.
It.
There's only one way.
Is the way of Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi
wa still living Quran,
the Quran, which we know it is in line Allah. You ever read the book
of the Quran and see it as being just a text? There's something
wrong with that
guy? Ask those, ask those who are not Muslims.
Ask those who are not Muslims,
if they ever read the book of Allah the Quran, they will tell
you it affected me. Sometimes mashaAllah defects them so much
that Allah spread hidayah in their hearts, and they say, ashadu,
Allah, illallah, Muhammad, Abu. And
sometimes if they fix it, but it's not time where Allah is given. He
died yet, but they will testify to you. This book cannot be a lie.
And the strange thing is,
we are the recipients
of this book from Muhammad. SallAllahu said we received it
from insulin
yet Lua Aliyah. Is what
the prophet, he did for us. He told us, he purified us,
and he told us his way of life. What is that? Hikmah? It is his
way of life, how we practice the Quran. And
this is our success. So much. My advice today, for myself first and
then for everybody else, is when the Prophet alayhi salatu was you
want to be at the best of people. First Source you go to is the
Quran,
read it, learn it,
and Allah subhanahu wa taala and His Messenger will regard you to
be among the best of people. Allah grant us to be among the money.
Remember, we are not going to be of those this morning, actually,
beautifully, I discussed with the chairman of the Masjid. You know,
the the difference between being among and amongst? I'm not saying
we're going to be amongst those who are the best meaning. Others
are there. We are also there. No we are going to be among the best
meaning. We are also falling under the category of being the beast of
people. Allah,
so easy. Allah gives us to us through His Nabi that you can be
the best. Why you want to go for second base? Be
the basic
learn it the
time out of your position. I know it's good to make money. I also
want to make money,
but we have to make time for
we have to make time for his Nabi. We have to make time for
ourselves. Isn't it being the best? It is going to count in our
favor. And Allah, I'm not talking about this world. The Muslims.
Don't worry. The
Muslims struggle and strive in this world.
We will do everything for our and we need to remind ourselves about
this. Let's do everything for let's fight for our
it's
because, Allah, we've not been created for this world. I'm
going to repeat that we have not been created for this life.
Allah subhanahu wa says, I, Allah, have prepared for you Your abode.
Yeah. Our Lord Allah says to us, your Lord Allah, you know
how excited I am now, and I mentioned this in our Allah says I
prepared for you a place
that my
aim in life.
Diseases,
and no heart and mind will be able to perceive this so great and
magnifying is that place who says this, your Lord Allah and Israel
and we are fighting for something that we have not even been created
for. You know what is working? It is plowing this, planting seeds.
It is interesting for us in the next
it is not for Islam we've been created for the next is what it
is, mazrah Abu asmaara. It is the grazing ground for the next plant,
planting seeds as we go along. Don't take your deeds as being
insignificant in good thing that you do. You know,
Allah afforded me to do that.
It was not that because of my own
sometimes you think we give, hey, Masha, Allah, back on my back. You
know what I did today?
This is why Allah it's only because of the only love, because
of the assistance of Allah.
Everything we do is because of Allah, Subhanahu wa assist,
assistance, and Allah's Will and Allah's power. And if you can't do
that, don't feel this.
On them, because that is because of Allah as
well. So Allah, you will be among the best of people if you learn
the Quran and beautifully, he carries on by saying, we don't
stop by learning what I
will learn and teach it. Don't be shy. Why don't we shy? This album
we are proud of you is going to give us success in this world and
the next. And you know what, my brother, I want you also to be
successful. My sister, I want you also to be successful. Read it. Do
you know what Allah saying? Allah subhanahu wa says that Allah
created us to worship you. How nice it will feel if you can tell
somebody that you know Allah hated us to worship him. Simple, you
know, whether you're Muslim, Christian, whatever religion is,
you will understand what is being said. But you know what that is
teaching somebody a verse of the Quran.
We don't need to tell you. This is a verse of the Quran. It will be
bonus, and it for you. Added my for you. If you say, you know the
Quran says, it's another level of that. Allah guide our tongues and
our hearts and our ways that we will approach others inshaAllah to
see the beauty of Islam. Jamati Muslim first point we say it is
Quran.
You have to have connection with the speech of Allah. Why Adi Kalam
Allah, that the best of speech is the speech of Allah. No matter how
eloquent, whoever is in this life can never be more eloquent than
Allah. And Allah, bless us, inshaAllah to listen to Allah
subhanahu wa. When we will meet Allah subhanahu wa will be the
successful ones. Allah will read us Allah's words and Allah's
verses by himself.
We think you've
heard beauty,
no matter what he says in this life, Masha, Allah, the beautiful
voices, they've been created by Allah, and they read the Quran for
you in the Muslim gives the voices. Can you imagine the
Creator, Allah, reading to us his own words? Who doesn't want to
Allah say specifically what Allah is going to read for us. You know
the surah Rahman,
who don't love it Allah tell you that.
Ah,
how did that sound?
It's music. 12 years Beloved. Give me more, isn't it? Imagine Allah.
That's me. That is the recreation of Allah. Now Allah is telling you
that, which of the faith of my slave today can you deny of your
own, Allah, I would Allah, tell us that no matter what feeling you
had now, that will be a better feeling.
We will jump out of our rules. Although we are happy roots, Allah
is recycling Allah
SWT. This is the connection with the Quran. It takes us to our
Creator,
have a connection with Allah, and you'll become among the best of
people. Then jamati Muslim say beautifully,
Hari and he emphasized,
you want to be among the peace of people.
Look at now how Rasool, as mentioned, something extremely
simple.
We might see as minute he says, when he emphasized by mentioning
the king, you want to be the best,
he says, You want to be the best. Be good to your wife.
Be good to your children. Look at supervisors. You want to climb
levels with Imam. Be good to your own. You are in your house.
How you speak to them, how you conduct. You know yourself, your
character, which is you speak to a suffering beautifully the serene
tone your children. Feels so happy to be in your places. We sometimes
will shoot
at this for nine years
in the company of Rasulullah, he lived with himself. He says, My
Libby, for the nine years that I was with him, never passed me. Why
did you do that? Why did you not do that? Not once. What a
personality is this? This is,
this is living with. Example, there was no need for him to say
that he was exemplary mischaracter. Allah says, We, all
we. We have given you this Muhammad, the best of character,
and
we need to emulate that. We need to follow him.
Salah, Salah. And why does he say this? Look how he answers. The
reason I'm telling you be good
to you,
and because I'm good to my. Look at how I am to my I am good to my
my children. Example, say that in a Fatima camp, you would knock
on the door.
The door will be open.
The Prophet Aliza will stand at the house of Fatima, and she will
get up from her place where she stationed. She will walk to her
father and say assalamu, Alaikum. Look how she adhesive, my father,
oh, my beloved father, and greet you with the bishops
and
peace of Allah. And he would respond and what she would kiss
you on his forehead, on his hand, and she would take his hand and
move to where she was stationed. She was seated, and she would put
her father on her place, and she would plan and sit next to her
father, and she would listen, tempted to her father, and they
would have conversations, you know, and they will be happy and
joyful, and they will want to be in each other's company. And you
know what it was the father and the daughter. Look at the
opposite. The daughter goes to the father. She knocks on the door.
Who is he?
Rasool, Allah Habibullah.
He knocks on the door. He shows his son. He don't open because
he's my daughter.
He knocks, indicated. He waits the door. Opens
a mouth. She knocks. He gets
he walks to her.
He greets her. He kisses her. On her for him. He takes her by the
hand. He walks
and he let her seat on the seat he will get next to her, and they
will have conversations. Example,
father and child,
beautiful. Example,
even
done move why
you must
be thinking,
we are, you guys, a beautiful character. When these things
happen, we need to teach our children. It must become normal in
our lives.
May Allah why? Because he saw us as
the next. Who is speaking now, Allah,
Allah subhanahu wa
says
You, Allah speaks to you and i You are the best
you can be. Now, this is not different. This is not Muhammad
Allah telling us you are the best of people.
I have chosen you and handpicked you
and be
proud of
you. And how can you be proud of you by following Allah that has
words and speech and laws, and
following because Allah grant and
guarantee you and I that we are among the best people of
Imam Abu Asmaa, you call people to good
when you see that, what do you do?
You stop people. Don't do that, my brother, it's wrongful to you and
me and society. Don't do it beautifully, obviously, not in
public.
We do it nicely with character, my brother, please. This
is just good for you and for me, not for your soul, for me, not for
your children, not for anybody. Don't do
this. This was ALLAH commanders, because Please, can we try?
Please, we've tried. Remember, don't say if we are Allah Mohan,
I'm going to do that. The guy is better. It's not up to us. It's up
to Allah. We cannot give hidayah. Sometimes you feel that if we tell
somebody something, you must listen. You know,
we do a duty. The Prophet alayhi salatu
wasallam had to do a duty. And Allah
subhanahu wa told him, Salah Sallam himself.
You are not liberty to keep Hidayat in guidance, Allah,
yadisha. Allah is the One who give hidayah to whom he so pleases.
Let us understand
all the people in Sikh.
The one here, Allah said, you do the poorly we bring the people.
That's not your duty. That's our
duty. The words are crying. We are giving this up to us all. Masjid
was open. Susan Inshallah, as I look at everybody here, Allah,
grant us that before this, Masjid,
don't
forget. That Jonathan's we've given Allah schools following up
with the action of being in Allah's house. Allah will change
forever, may
Allah. Allah says
we abstain from that which is bad, and Allah told us a beautiful
people, what? What took me you believe in Allah? Do
we not believe in Allah that makes us to people, the
peace of
people? We are the ummah of some
Allah tells us, what do we do that? What
is that that is benefiting society,
that is benefiting others and the Prophet? Ali saram says the
trialness and faculty NAS, the best people are those who benefit
Allah's creations.
So let us be that this that Allah speaking about in His Messenger,
speaking of we are among them, Ya Allah, look how we practice
with pride. We are proud of ourselves being with me and
Muslims. And that is why we fulfill your duty, Allah, that you
have given the responsibility on our shoulders, we accepted it, and
we follow through Insha Allah,
and with Allah's aid, we will be able to be successful if we do
this. InshaAllah,
Jamaat means to me, to end everything we do. How do we do it?
We started with good character, the prophet. You know, a character
is important that when we speak to people, subhanAllah, sometimes the
most vulgar language comes out of our mouths, and we think that we
are the authoritative
when we say that.
Because when it
needs
to become reality that Allah is in control of our lives. We are not
in control. Every day we see. We just saw that guy as healthy as he
was. He's no longer,
you know, what is the problem in the past? Mashallah, not so
beautiful. When there was a janazah, we used to follow
janazah.
Today, the janazah was wanted to be ready
for this, and Jay for that. What we say is on Allah said it is
Something like, it's just a thought. There's no
no
Yeah, Allah,
grant us the gift of a good ending. We think of this when we
see somebody close their eyes, you know, when we walk drive past
them,
we need to make the house. We need to say they you now, but we remind
ourselves tomorrow, will be among you and the deceased study as the
lady tomorrow you will be here,
walk as much as you want to on this earth boastfully and speak as
loud as you want to, shout as loud as you want tomorrow, this malach
in there, in the proper will ask you questions. Are you bold enough
to answer these questions? Allah, guide us. Allah give us strength.
Allah grant us to be that strong of the Prophet, the man of rabiah.
No one is past. We are in the Mandal rabiah. This is the
wonderful stuff. I mean jemas. Mean Allah, grant you to be among
the peace of people that Allah grant all of you today yet to be
among the peace of people, Amin and mean Allah. Grant us a fee can
understand you of this inshaAllah. So with these few words, we make
the eye inshallah accept us for indeed the One of Allah expects
good for and wants good for Allah. Grant him the understanding of
Deena. May we be among us. One announcement, Inshallah, is that
last week, we made an announcement for another Masjid in urban go
mashallah, who needed some funds for the transfer of the earth unto
them their names. Inshallah, it's imperative for us today we came
prepared in sha Allah, even if we didn't come prepared whatever we
have given. Inshallah, it is to build up how.
So Allah, the best places on this earth. Let us give. Because every
taking that we get today, all of it will go towards the masjid
Inshallah, to assist them for another Masjid to be Inshallah,
Tala, both soon there Amin and also, don't worry, inshaAllah,
every yoga machine that you tap today, also Inshallah, even that
takings will go towards the Masjid. So inshaAllah, be
generous. You know Allah is Hari. Allah is the most generous. Ya
Allah, we love the quality of you so much we want to practice upon
you today. We'll show our generosity inshaAllah, and by us
showing generosity, we know that Ya Allah, you will show your
generosity upon us once again, and we will be With the India those
who will receive
Allah bounties. Lucky.
