Greet everyone
with the most beautiful greeting, the greeting of Islam as well as
the greeting of Jannah, Asmaa, Allahu, akumdal, Allah, Subhanahu
wa Taala has praised us and honored us again to be a part of
the UMass, Muhammad, sallAllahu, Sallam as Allah subhanahu wa so
wonderfully mentioned that hayru kun turijaklinas, we are the
chosen, the chosen nation by Allah subhanahu wa goes towards good,
tamaru Nabilah, And we forgot evil. Nabi line we believe
suddenly in Allah subhanho wa taala, Allah subhanho being our
Creator, our sustain, our cherish and our nation, our narration,
Allah subhanahu wa sin many of the ambiya in order to come and place
Allah subhanahu wa accept. And one of those messengers was
Subhanallah, a beautiful messenger, Nabi Ibrahim, alaihi
salatu wasalam, who he was one of the most steadfast amongst all the
ambiya and Allah subhanahu wa gave him a great title because of his
dedication, because of his true belief in Allah subhanahu wa,
because of him just sticking to the commands of Allah, Subhanahu
wa and only speaking the truth, no matter how better and how
difficult it was. Can we imagine to stand up against your own
father, Allahu Akbar, who on the
on the opposite side, who is always on the opposite side of the
truth, subhanAllah, meaning, is a mushrik, somebody who ascribes
partners to Allah subhanahu wa, how do you stand up if that person
is your own father and Allah subhanahu wa mentions that NaVi,
Rahima RAM, he said, Kala Abu namin, doing Allah and FAU na
vibrahim alaihi, salatu, assalam. He said that then do you worship
instead of Allah subhanahu wa that which does not benefit you at all
or harm you? This is amazing, because in the time of Nabi
Ibrahim, alaisla wa salam, he is calm his people, they worship
idols and Allah. This is one of the greatest sin that we can
commit, one of the sins whereby Allah subhanahu wa mentioned
himself Subhanallah that he will not forgive that sin, the one who
ascribe partners with Allah subhanahu wa, and he goes on by
saying OOF to you and to what you worship instead of Allah. Then
will you not use reason Allah Akbar. So if, when we ever we try
to give dawah, we need to give dawah in such a manner whereby we
make it logic for people to think that this can only be true,
whatever this person is speaking Allah. But if you think of the way
that the Prophet sallallahu, sallam, he gave his dawah, people
could not resist to know that that is the truth that was spoken. Many
of the of the Quraysh, those who are against the messengers of
Allah, they they had a passion to hurt him. But in their hearts, in
the deepness of their heart, they understood that this man is
speaking the truth. How do we know this? Whenever the Prophet
sallallahu, Sallam used to recite, they used to hide behind the walls
in order to hear the beautiful words of the Qalam of Allah,
Subhanahu wa, and this is what the approach that we should have, not
to hurt people or do Subhanallah harm. Speak in a way we'll speak
about their gods. No, that is not what we want. That is not what
Islam wants. Islam wants us to convey the truth and the beautiful
message Subhanallah and Nabi Rahima, salatu, was they said that
to Rabbi Brahim alaihi salatu was stood on firm to the Haqq. They
said, and burn him and support your gods if you are to act Allah,
they really challenged Allah, Subhanahu wa and they they
instructed the the soldiers to throw Nabi Ibrahim alaihi, salatu,
assalam, in the fire. And look at Allah subhanahu wa, Allah showing
his
strength that nobody can do besides Allah subhanahu wa, even
Sibi, is that the means will change. Everybody knows that a
fire,
the natural thing that should happen is that the fire should
burn. And Allah subhana wa Taala says, Qul Ya Na rukuni, baru Dan
WA, Salam. And alaibrahim, Allah subhanahu wa speaks to the fire
and say, Oh, fire, be coolness and safety upon Ibrahim alaihi Salat.
Was he Nabi? Ibrahim alaihi Salat was salaam when he ended up and
landed into the fire. They say that that place in the fire was
the most.
Comfortable place for him, Ibrahim alaisla wa salam Allah. Can we
imagine the cool and the Kundra of Allah subhanahu wa? Allah changed
the means, naturally, the fire burns. But here Allah subhanahu wa
makes the place which should be hid heat. It is now a place of
coolness for Ibrahim alaihi salatu, Islam, and they intended
for him harm, but we made them great losers, and this is
important. When Allah subhanahu wa sticks with somebody, Allah
Subhanallah guides somebody, then whoever is the opponent of that
particular individual is the opponent of Allah subhanahu wa,
and who dares to stand in front of Allah subhanahu wa, challenging
Allah subhanho wa Taala that is like making war with Allah
subhanho wa taala. May Allah protect us from this. This is the
example of one of them, may Allah subhanho wa Taala sticking to the
truth and holding on to it no matter what the situation. And
look at what Allah subhanahu wa has done. Allah Allah taught those
who are the opponents a great listen. And another Nabi that is
mentioned in Suratul ambiya Is the NABI namiun mentions beautifully
with unknown for one nako diradah Indi
Subhanallah, this is a Nabi differently, different reaction.
Again, he used to give darwah People did not hear. And he gave
up on his people. And he started walking away from his people,
thinking that Subhanallah, Allah, subhanaw taala mentioned, and
mentioned the man of the fish that is the moon, that is nabi, Nabi
Yunus, alayhi, salatu wa salam, when he went off in anger and
thought that we would not decree anything upon him. He was a
Rasulullah. He thought that, you know, this is enough for me. I'm
going to move and he thought that Allah subhanahu wa, anything upon
him. Why? Because he moves away because of anger and giving up on
his nation, Allah subhanahu wa, and he called out within the
darknesses, what happened because of that action that he performed,
Allah subhanahu wa told then maybe
Allah subhanahu wa, when he was in the boat, he was the one that was
thrown over a whale came and swallowed him, subhanAllah, and he
was in the dark, darkest place. You know that that moment when he
was in the belly of the will. There was no light, nothing. The
only one that you can turn to is who now Subhanallah and listen to
the beautiful way they return to Allah subhanahu wa, Subhana
kaliniwali mean there is no deity except you. Exalted. Are you?
Allah subhanahu wa, and this is one of the duas that has been
prescribed for us by the Messenger of Allah that we should make this
in abundance to always, you know, we are weak. We always commit
error in sin. And this is one of the ways that Allah, Subhanahu wa
can wipe away these sins from ours. Remember, we say, Dali
Lahari, LaPenta, there is no God to worship except Yu ya, Allah,
subhana ka ini, kuntami, glorify that you exalted. Are you? Ya
Allah ini kutu abawi, I am the one that oppressed myself. I placed
myself in difficulty. So Ya Allah, You forgive us. Allah, grant us to
be amongst those who will always be forgiven by Allah subhanahu wa,
and then in the next Surah, beautiful Surah Sal Haj, Allah
subhanahu wa started out by speaking to the people, young,
even us.
Fear your Lord Allah, Be conscious of your actions, because what is
going to happen in Alim that the final hour is going to come and
there's going to be an earthquake that is going to take place, and
this is a great, great moment. This is qiyama. We're speaking
about SubhanAllah. Is going to be a terrible, terrible moment that
is going to be upon the human race, SubhanAllah. And that is the
time when Allah, Subhanahu wa Subhan Allah. It is stated that on
the day you see it. Every nursing mother, the mother that is nursing
her own child, will be distracted from the child. She will leave the
child just there Subhanallah, she will even though she was busyness
nursing the child in that moment in time when that final hour
comes, she will leave the child immediately. Why? Because of
SubhanAllah. Nafsi. Nafsi, nafsi worried about her own self. Now
this is the final hour that has come upon us. And Allah also
mentioned that every pregnant woman will abort her pregnancy.
She will be pregnant one moment. And once this hour comes, there
will be no more pregnancy. That is the amount of stress that people
will have on that particular day. And you will see the people
appearing intoxicated. Tarahu Mishu Kara, you will see them as
if they are intoxicated, but they will not be intoxicated, but the
punishment of Allah is Severe. Everyone will understood that this
is that moment. Imagine what will happen in this earth. You know
this earth
will be shaking, and that is the qunda and the power of Allah.
Subhanallah people will be in total disaster. They will fear
Allah subhanahu wa, that moment, the way you want to be feared
right now, is that moment I have to answer for everything. May
Allah grant us at that moment that we should be amongst the true
believers who will have contented hearts, that we will be the
knowers of Allah, that this have to have to take place and
Inshallah, we will face Allah subhanahu wa is going to worry at
that moment. But Ya Allah, grant us to be amongst those people that
day that will will be on the successful ones in sha, Allah ame.
And these are few gems of Jews, number 17, and Allah subhanahu wa,
bless everyone. Also a reminder to us, this is that moment in history
where Allah Akbar, you know, everything took a turn. Everybody
that was the oppressive side. They came and a handful Allah subhanahu
wa has chosen amongst the Muslims, the believers, 313
men, meek and weak men. They came out for Islam, for the sake of
Allah subhanahu wa, standing with the Beloved of Allah subhanho wa
taala, Muhammad, sallAllahu, sallam, the Battle of Badr in
Allahu Akbar. Allah subhanahu wa, send this aid through Maranatha
and Allahu Akbar, the Muslims was victorious at that particular
moment in time. Let us not forget the people of Badr at that moment,
at this moment. This is the time when history changed. Subhanallah,
Islam became the true deed, and this is where it started. And
Allah grant us that we can also make a change. Today is the moment
for us. This is our moment. Let us make a change in sha Allah, and
let us make an impact. And may Allah grant us to be of the legacy
of Sinha Muhammad, sallAllahu, Sallam BarakAllahu, Salaam Alaikum
Wa Rahmatullahi taala.
