Greet
everyone who
greet everyone with the most beautiful greeting, the greeting
of Islam, as well as the greeting of Jannah, Asmaa, Allah Barakatu,
subhanAllah, we say Ahlan wa sallam, ya Muhammadan ya Ramadan.
This is amazing, the month of blessings, the month of mercy, the
month when Allah subhanahu wa set his slaves free from the hellfire.
It is upon us, the guest that we have been waiting for. It is here
and Masha Allah, we're going to have our daily nasiha with regards
to the gems of the Quran. We will discuss all that Allah subhanahu
wa is trying to teach us through the Quran, I mean, narupal enemy.
So Masha Allah to our first Jews will be recited tonight after
Risha Salah inshallah during our tarawith program. And we hope that
everybody will benefit tremendously from this, for those
who will be standing for the full khatam, and for those who don't,
may Allah grant you the full reward in sha Allah, for indeed
our intentions inshallah will be counted in our favor. In number A
man will be near as Allah, subhanaw taala, messengers of
Allah mentioned to us that our actions will be judged according
to our intentions. So BarakAllahu, we bless Allah. SubhanaHu, bless
us all whereby we will start of uswat Fatiha, and that is called
Fatiha tu Kitab, the opening chapter of this Quran whereby
Allah subhanho wa Taala has a dialog with his slaves. It is
actually half from the slave to Allah subhanho wa Taala and
halfway the slave, they depend on Allah subhanahu wa and this is an
amazing surah. And may Allah Subhanallah grant us the
understanding of this as by what happened. It starts off by saying,
Bismillahi al Rahman al Rahim. Now Allahu Akbar, this ayah within
itself, it means so much. But whereby ALLAH SubhanA wa talaa
teaches His mercy. Allah subhana wa Taala says that we begin in his
name, subhanAllah, Bismillahi rahmanir rahim. So what is Rahman?
Rahman? You're divided into two types. First, Al Rahman, Allah
subhanahu wa is the one who's most compassionate. And then al Rahim
Allah subhanahu wa is the the Especially Merciful. So it is
explained by the mufari as well as the mahatim that Allah subhanahu
wa he has with him 100 portions of mercy, and 1% or one portion out
of the 100 Allah subhanahu wa is distributed in this world and
within his entire creation. And 99 portions Allah subhanahu wa
himself, this is amazing. Why 99 portions Allah subhanahu wakiti
for himself and for when is that? And as we understand through one
portion of the Mercy of Allah subhanahu wa we have mothers who
gives birth to children. And if we look at the amount of Rahma that a
mother shower towards her child, this is amazing. No one can come
in between that love, that intense love that that mother shows
towards the towards that child, whether the condition is how
difficult, the mother will always place the child's health wealthy
above everything else. Even when it comes to herself, she will put
herself second, and the child will come first. This is amazing, and
this is a sign of rahmah from a mother to a child. Now, what do we
think? Let's speak about animals. They have little ones. How much
they love their little ones. If you need want to do anything to
harm that little one of that animal, that animal will do
everything in its power in order to protect that little one. So
what about our Creator, Allah subhanahu wa this is only one
portion of Allah subhanho wa Taala mercy that Allah subhanho wa Taala
is trying to teach us that look at this. This is My Mercy, and Allah
subhanho wa Taala is written on his ash himself that his mercy
overpowers his anger. So this is amazing in this world. We have
that opportunity to draw from this mercy. And just so, we find
ourselves in the month of Ramadan, oh man, oh rahma, the first 10
days, the first third of this month, it is for us to draw the
Rahma of Allah subhanahu wa and the very first ayah in the Quran
is Rahim. I begin in the name of Allah subhanahu wa, the Italian
Merciful, the Especially Merciful that 99 portions which Allah
subhanahu wa kept by himself, that is for the daily when everybody is
going to need the Mercy of Allah subhanahu wa, and when is that
that is.
The Day of Qiyamah, when we will be questioned by Allah subhanahu
wa. And here Allah subhana wa Taala mentioned to us that I keep
that 99 portions for who is that the Especially Merciful? This is
not entirely merciful. One portion was for the entire human race, for
the entire creation of Allah subhanahu wa. That is only one
portion. The 99 portion is for a special group of Allah's creation.
And who are they? They are only the believers, the ones who
believe in Allah and the one who follow the Sunnah say NA Muhammad
Sallallahu sallam, meaning the ones who says allah
sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam, only the true believers will be able to
draw from the mercy on such a day when there is no mercy, besides
the Mercy of Allah subhanahu wa, as Allah subhanaw taala teach us
in the Quran, further him and I will Quran, who is the king of
this day. Allah subhanahu wa answers himself. He says that
illahid Wahid al qahal, it is only for Allah subhanahu wa is the
absolute one? Al qahav, the one who is the most magnitude. He is
the one who is going to be able to assist us on that day. So
alhamdulillah, Rabbi Alamin, we then claim that all of the praises
belongs to the greatest of creator, and that is Allah. And we
then submit to say that we have absolutely no place Subhanallah,
Rahman Rahim, Allah subhanahu repeats by saying that Allah
subhanahu wa, this is amazing that we only seek the help of Allah
subhanahu wa, Allah gives us permission where we need to seek
help from, and that is from Allah subhanho wa taala. But the
uniqueness of this ayah, it starts with iyaka, it starts with you
alone, meaning Allah subhanahu wa, shows us that the first thing that
Allah mentioned here is himself. Iyaka, you alone, Allah
Subhanallah, Allah subhanahu wa trying to teach us that the only
one that we should seek out from, it is Allah subhanahu wa. We seek
a from, and when we see a from Allah subhanahu wa, everything
will be made easy for us. We should not look in other places to
seek the aid from Allah subhanahu wa and May Allah guide us through
our intentions. Amin arapala, mean, for indeed, there are many
means that we can go through, but the ultimate one that we seek help
from is Allah subhanahu wa teach us that it starts by ALLAH SubhanA
wa taala, and then the creation and may Allah subhanahu wa guide
us. Then we say, and this is the second part.
Now, every day, we asking Allah to guide us on the true path, and
that is the path which Allah subhanho wa Taala faith is upon.
And may Allah grant us to be amongst those and not amongst
those raided Mabu, the one who Allah subhanho wa Taala stands
upon him, and those whom Allah subhanahu wa says, May we not be
amongst them, and may Allah protect us. And we say, I'm into
that may Allah subhanaw taala accept. And now we start with the
first Jews of the Quran, which is Suratul Baqarah. Subhanallah
starts with the first Jews, whereby the first Surah is Suratul
Baqarah, and ALLAH SubhanA Tara says, alif meme, and we all know
that this is only Allah subhanaw taala possess the knowledge of
what this means. The true knowledge of this is called the
bucharufum, the Catholic is nobody understand this but Allah subhanaw
taala, and nobody knows the meaning of this besides Allah
subhanahu wa. And then the very next line is such a beautiful
line, and this is where Allah subhanahu wa indicate to us what
is this book that we are reading, Allah subhanahu that says, Daniel
kita Abu taqin that this is the book in which there is absolutely
no doubt. This is a challenge for us. This is a challenge for every
single human. If you read this book, Allah subhanaw, promise us
that in this book there is no doubt if you should find anything,
then come with the proof, SubhanAllah. And we've been around
for 14 141 years. And absolutely no doubt in anybody, in anyone's
mind, could come and challenge this Quran. No nothing could do
that SubhanAllah. And it shows the greatness of Allah, Subhanahu wa
is he told us Allah subhanaw taala says it is a guidance to
those who possess Taqwa. It is a guidance for those who are
conscious of Allah subhanahu. Wa So may Allah grant us to be among
those who are conscious of Allah. And if we are conscious of Allah
subhanahu, many doors open for us in Java. Taala, the Quran explains
itself that is so beautiful What taqin Allah subhana wa Taal
explains him by himself, that if you are going to be of those who
are conscious of me, then what will happen Ramayya, taqin lahi ja
Allah subhanho wa Taala is the one who opens at the doors for us and
opens.
The openings for us, Inshallah, to Allah. And then Allah subhana wa
Taala speaks to a group of people. Who are they? Larina, You Allah
subhanahu speak, speaks to a group of people. And Allah subhanahu wa
specify, who are they? They are the true believers. And La Nina,
yuk minuna, those who are the true believers.
They believe in the unseen. They believe in everything that Allah
subhanahu wa is teaching, but trying to teach us and is telling
us, and they not going against the word of Allah subhanahu wa Sala.
They are the ones who establish Salah. They pray towards Allah
subhanahu wa and what do they do? They spend what Allah subhanahu wa
has given them, the bounties that Allah subhanaw taala has bestowed
on them. They spend on this. And this is the time for us to look
within our hearts, look deep within our pockets. Is the month
of Ramadan. Is the month where we understand Allah subhanahu wa,
he's the most generous. So we should try to be generous in this
month. We should try what Allah is bestowed upon us in order to spend
that. Because Allah says this is the qualities of believers. So
Inshallah, if we are true believers, we will be of those who
worship Allah subhanahu wa. So we spend, what Allah Subhanallah has
provided us from and ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala grant us to be among his
name, but enemy, because they are the true believers. Allah says,
When lalina and more qualities, Allah subhanaw taala explained,
with regards to the believers, and ALLAH SubhanA says,
they are the ones who are guided by the Lord Allah subhanahu wa
grant us to be amongst those who are guided by you. And Allah
Subhanallah gives us a promise that we will be of those if you
are true believers, you will be of those who will be successful. May
Allah grant us to be amongst those who are successful SubhanAllah.
And then Allah subhanahu wa switched over to another sect from
Allah subhanahu speak a group of people, Allah subhana wa Taala
says in the lahina, kefauna, arahim and delta humlung, Minun,
Allah subhanahu wa says that, surely there are those who just
believe in Allah subhanahu wa. They go against what Allah
Subhanallah wish for them, and they are the ones they they are
warned
Allah subhanahu,
wa salam, or whether you do not want them, what will they do? La
Abu, they will never believe. Imagine Allah writes down for you
to be amongst those who disbelieve in Allah. May Allah protect us
from this. May we be from the first group of Allah described
with qualities. Inshallah, let us possess the qualities, and we will
be amongst those of Allah says, Who will move the whole they will
be the successful ones. Ya Allah, Subhanahu says they will never
believe. Allah protect us. May Allah grant us to be of those who
believe in this life, and before we pass to the next life, may we
be believers with the Kalima, Allah, Muhammad, rasulallah, tons
and Allah subhanahu Taala says, Who are the disbelievers? Hotam,
Allahu, bihim wa, alaihi wala, Rahim rishawa wala, hulim Ya
Allah, Allah subhanahu wa says it. Allah subhanahu wa seals their
hearts. Allah subhanahu Taala is the one who puts a lock on their
hearts. And Allah subhanahu wa says that there's a great torment,
a great torment, a great punishment that awaits them, Ya
Allah, who wants to be in that boat whereby they understand it,
Allah subhanahu wa punish us, Allah, grant us to be amongst the
believers, I mean, and then the very important group, Allah
subhanahu wa speaks about after this, Allah subhanahu wa says,
wamin and Nasi mainia called me now. This is a group Allah
subhanho wa speaks in detail about. But who are they? They are
the ones whom Allah subhanahu says they will be from amongst those
people who says that they believe in Allah subhanahu wa in the last
day, but they do not really believe Allah. Believe Allah, but
they are called the munafiqun. They are called the hypocrites.
They they only practice by apparentness, but within in their
hearts, Allah subhanaw taala mentioned to us further that they
are against us. They are not truly with us in their belief. And Allah
protect us from this, because Allah subhanahu wa that they are
the ones who will be will be in the low spirit of the Hellfire.
May Allah protect us from that. Not even the kofab Allah says the
one who disbelieve because they are the ones who are banned when
they believe, Allah subhanahu will give them a punishment. But those
who hide it, those who says that they are with us and they hide
their true belief, whereby they don't believe in all.
Allah subhanahu wa says WABA, meaning they are the one African.
They are the ones who do not relieve Allah says they will be
the lowest bit of alpha. So this is the gist of this Jewish
SubhanAllah. But a challenge for us that Allah subhanahu wa gives,
this is what I want to highlight tonight. Allah subhanahu wa says
to us, but a shaytaan wankuntun fi
if they are amongst you who have doubt in what we have revealed to
you to be sure, Allah puts out a challenge to us and Allah subhana
wa Taala has played put out a challenge to all those who came
prior to us, Allah. Subhanahu wa says, Bring something similar.
Bring something similar. And the challenge that the mission is
Allah, explain to us what is the challenge? The shortest Surah that
we find in the Quran is short of Kotal, which is how many Ayah
isa
salud become an hub.
Only three I am that has been revealed. Allah puts out the
challenge for us. So let us see if we can be bold enough to Allah
protect us not to believe but let us see if we can be bold enough to
come up with something similar to that we will never be able to come
up with something similar as those who tried before. Let's give an
example, and this is an
item of as a buchaya. They were the
monafic. They were the one that came by the name of Musa I. He
came in the time of the bishop Salam. He claimed that he was also
a Nabi and Allah subhanahu wa reveal him as well. So Allah
subhanahu wa stays the challenge be in front of him. What did he
come with? Allah subhanahu that beautifully we can speak for
centuries when it comes to Suratul Phil which was revealed that Allah
subhanho wa Taala upon our beloved Master, Salah, Salah. But musayah
came and he said, Alfi, Mama feel and from Tamil, udul Kabir, this
is what he could come up with. Then the elephant. What can you
say about the elephant? He has weak ears and he has a long term
and what can we derive from that? No benefits Subhanallah, and this
is the power of the Quran, Allah subhanahu wa similar words is
being used, but no meaning to that. But here, subhanAllah and
Allah subhanahu, Taala reveal this upon Muhammad, sallAllahu, sallam,
so many meanings that we can derive from that, until today we
can live up to the meanings. And this is just the gist of the first
juice. Yeah, much more than we can learn from this. But this is a few
gems that we can all try to calculate in our lives. And Allah,
bless us all every day. 15 minutes before Isha Inshallah, we will be
live streaming Salafi. Come to you, Allah, bless you. Man Sabah
Ramadan. Iman
Ramadan, be whoever fast the day of Ramadan, Allah subhanahu wa,
forgive you all your sins if you do this. Emmanuel, with complete
faith in Allah subhanahu wa, Salamu, Alaikum wa, Rahmatullahi,
taala, katu Abu.
