Waseem Hendricks – Gems From The Quran. Juz 16

Subhana,

greet everyone with the most beautiful greeting, the greeting

of Islam, as well as the greeting of Jannah, salaam, Alaikum. We

find ourselves on the mountain, as we say in Cape Town, mashaAllah,

bef and today, subhanAllah, we thank Allah. Subhanahu wa granted

us the ability to have fasted for 15 days of the month of Ramadan

and Allah. Now we are going downhill. Now we prepare ourselves

that soon we will be saying, we die, ya Ramadan. We will be

Subhanallah wishing Ramadan all of the best. And then we are reminded

of the time of the Sahara delata. Once again. Remember they were the

ones that for six months of the year, they were yearning for the

month of Ramadan to come. And when Ramadan has gone past, they would

yearn and kind in missing the month of Ramadan for six months.

Can we imagine that SubhanAllah? Because why is that they

understood the reality that Allah, Subhanahu wa is giving out gifts

during this beautiful and glorious month of Ramadan and Subhanallah,

we are on the number 16 of the ajazah of the Quran today. So

inshallah James that we will derive from this juice comes in

Surah Paha, first verse number 14, about Allah subhanahu wa says, In

Nani, an Allahu La Ilaha, Illa,

bulani wa, Salla,

ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala beautifully says that, indeed I am Allah,

Allah subhanahu wa clarifies to us, who is that being that you

should worship only that deity that nobody should worship except

him and Allahu alaihi, Allah subhanahu said, only worship me.

Allahu Akbar. What do we worship today, my beloved brothers and

sisters and elders and mothers and fathers as well as youth. What do

we worship today, our yearning towards this world, the world

towards our desires. It is so much that sometimes we even forgive

about Allahu, subhana wa taala. We forget about Allah, Subhanahu wa,

Allah subhanahu wa clarifies to us for buddhini, only worship me.

Welcome your Salah and only establish prayer for my

remembrance directly in everything that we do, we should remember

Allah subhanahu wa.

We should ask Allah subhanahu wa to grant us the ability to Tawheed

in order to be of those slaves that every moment of our lives we

will be in the remembrance of Allah subhanahu wa. It might sound

difficult to us, but if we look at our predecessors, if we look at

Imam Shafi IRA, him Allah, Imam buchanifa, these Imam Ahmed Ibu,

humble, Imam

Imari, they were all giants of Islam, and they had the ability,

some of them, to recite 60 khatam throughout the month of Ramadan,

and one standing

so meaning 61 altogether during the month of Ramadan Allah, what

makes us different? Yeah, we have absolutely no excuse. We are at

our homes. Allah tried to teach us a lesson that see what you can do.

Get closer to me. Here's a time I'm isolating you do what you have

to do and see and look and find ways and means how those who came

prior to you how they could get it right. Subhanallah, here's a way

and a chance for us. Did we really take the opportunity that Allah,

Subhanahu

wa hands, Inshallah, Allah, grant us to be from above those and

Allah. Subhana wa Taala says, and explain to us, why should you only

worship Allah? Why only for Allah? Subhanahu wa taala, remembrance

Allah. Subhanahu says, min, mean min, Hala, kanakum, Wafi, wami,

wa. He says to us that from the earth we have created you Allah.

Allah subhanahu wa is the one who afforded us the opportunity to be

of those who could say La Ilaha, illallah, Muhammad, rasulallah,

and to be of this beautiful and marvelous creation of Allah

subhanahu wa, then Allah subhana wa Taala says, Wafi hanukul, and

into the earth we will return you again. Allah subhanahu wa created

us from nothing, from dust, and Allah subhanahu wa return us to

dust. And Allah subhanahu wa says, wa min Hanu.

And we will extract you another time. There is another time. There

is a waiting as jamat. That time is called Qiyamah. A time is what

will determine for us whether we were successful or unsuccessful.

How silly will we be as the creation of Allah, who would give

up 60 years of our lives for eternity. 70 years of our lives

maybe for eternity. This is a temporary life. We will only be

here for so long, subhanAllah, and if Allah subhanahu Wald, we will

maybe make it to 60, 7080, years old, some, if we're lucky, 100

years old. But Allah Akbar, is that enough to give up for eternal

life of bliss, or are we going to strive for our baseless desires

and for for the luxuries of this world, and we will give up our for

that week whereby we will then be of those who will have a painful

torment, painful punishment that's awaiting us? Allah subhanahu wa

SubhanaHu wa is so high above all and Allah subhanahu wa is the

king. And Allah subhanahu wa is the truth as Allah subhanahu wa,

Quran, Allah subhanahu speak, speaks to the Prophet, sallAllahu,

sallam. For indeed, this is a reminder for us what we do to this

Quran. We read it in order to finish it. That is our aim so

quickly when people pass it, just to know that Alhamdulillah done

the khatam of the Quran and read it from cover to cover. Allah

subhanahu wa speaks to the messenger SallAllahu Salaman says

whatever Quran yokna elekawa is in me realm, amazing. Allah subhanahu

wa taala says that, and oh Muhammad, sallAllahu, sallam,

do not hasten with recitation of the Quran before its revelation is

completed to you. And saying, My Lord, Increase me in knowledge.

This is a moment for us that we can inshaAllah reflect Allah.

Subhanaw taala gives us an indication. Don't rush when it

comes to the Quran of Allah. Read it, translate it, internalize it,

and bring it to life by action that is important inshaAllah.

Allah subhanaw taala spoke to His Messenger, sallAllahu, do not

haste. Take note of what is being read. Allah. Allah subhanho wa

Taala is the one that will afford you that opportunity to memorize

for afford us the opportunity to internalize and inshallah afford

us that opportunity in the Tawfiq and the ability to put it into

practice. So let us, let us not haste with this Quran, although we

try inshallah utmost ways to recite the Qatar of the Quran, but

more important it is for us to reflect.

Let our hearts not be locked when it comes to us contemplating and

thinking about what Allah subhanahu wa is desiring for us

and trying to teach us. Let our life be a life change. Let this be

life changing moments for us. This Ramadan is a unique Ramadan.

Everybody says it, but what are we doing with regards to that

uniqueness? Allah guide us. Inshallah, to Allah, for indeed we

know now that we've been created from nothing, from soil. We will

return back to soil, but we there will come a day that we will be

resurrected again, and we will stand in front of Allah subhanahu

wa, the King of all kings the truth. Subhanahu wa Taala and

Allah subhanahu wa, ask us about every moment in our life, every

word that exited our mouths, may Allah grant us for it only be free

and good and barakah inshaAllah, blessings. And may Allah God as

well and everyone for the sake of Allah, Subhanahu wa salamu alaikum

wa Rahmatullah walaka wa.
