Subhana Kala imaliah, I greet everyone with the most beautiful
greeting, the greeting of Islam as well as the greeting of Jannah.
Asmaa, Allah, Ketu, Alhamdulillah, we praise you to Allah, Subhanahu
wa, we find ourselves tonight by reciting the 28th juice of the
Holy Quran. Allah subhanaw taala afforded us this beautiful bounty
to recite the entire Quran throughout the month. And for
those who have pursued this journey in reciting a khatam of
the Quran, may Allah subhana wa Taala reward you abundantly. And
for those who struggled, remember Allah subhanahu wa taala says
those yet attack that those who struggle and stutter in reciting
the Quran, they get double the reward of those who recite it
fluently. So don't feel despondent. Your intention was
there in Namal we near and Allah subhanho wa taala, judge our
actions according to our intentions. Don't despair in the
Mercy of Allah subhanahu wa still pursue that dream inshallah in
order to complete the Quran, whether it is now in the month of
Ramadan, or if we don't complete, still carry on. Inshallah to
Allah, Allah subhanahu wa, grant us the full reward for that
tonight, the gems of the Quran out of Jews, number 28 Allahu, Akbar,
the first surah. It starts immediately. And kick off with
Allah subhanahu wa, start with Surah mujala, whereby the lady
hawla bin talaba, she went to the messenger SallAllahu Sallam and
complained to him, sallAllahu Sallam about her husband, the way
that he treat her and the way that he speaks to her after she she has
given him and bore many children from a husband and the Prophet
Muhammad. Sallallahu sallam's response to as as mashallah, many
of Imam today, and this sometimes is a good thing. Sometimes it's
not a good thing. We need to look at the situation. And here, in the
defense of hola bin talaba, Allah, subhana, WA Allah came to her
defense Allahu, Akbar and Allah guide our females and grant them
safety and security against oppression and against bad
language out there, especially if it comes from the close ones,
their spouses, their husbands and Allah protect those ladies who are
suffering from abuse. I mean, your pal, Alameen, Allah, subhanho wa
Taala kicks off the Sura and starts by saying, BARDA, she told
the Rajim Ahmed of Rahim qadda, Samir, Allahu, quja staki in
Allah, Allahu, yes, Maru Taha Kumar in Allah Hassan, he must see
Allah subhanahu wa starts by saying, certainly has Allah
subhanahu wa heard the speech of the one who argues with you. O
Muhammad SAW concerning her husband and directs her complaints
to Allah. Now, remember the Prophet Muhammad. SallAllahu
responded by saying and telling her to sober. Inshallah, you know,
her husband is old. She's old. They have many children. Just have
sovereign patience with him. InshaAllah, He will come again and
he will
repent for what he has done. And Allah subhanahu wa taala makes it
clear, and she said, Oh, Muhammad SAW I'm not going to take this
advice. I now am going to complain to Allah. I'm going to turn to my
Creator. Subhanahu wa mentions concerning her husband, and
directs complaint to Allah. And Allah hears your dialog. Allah.
SubhanaHu wa is responding to how and say that I am listening to
your complaint. Subhanallah, this. This lady was really a great lady,
because an ayah was revealed. This is the Sabbath of the ayah. The
ayah was revealed because of this, and she is a part of this. And how
honored in Allah, Subhanahu wa revealed in Ayah due to her
circumstances, subhanAllah and Allah is Hearing and seeing, as
Allah, SubhanAllah mentioned. And it also comes in the story that
years after that, Ramana Dolan, he was, meaning, he was the leader
amongst the Muslims at that time, and they were on an expedition,
and, um, he was on his on his horse, and a lady complained and
asked and so sought for water through due to her being thirsty.
And as realized who she was, subhanAllah, he got off from his
horse, his conveyance, and he put hola on top of that horse, and he
asked the Sahaba, do you know who this is? Those who were in the
blessings of the caravan, mashallah, the under expedition.
And they say, this is an old lady, Amir, meaning, how can you give
your spot on the horse? You are Amir muminim. You are the leaders
of the Muslims. How can you deprive yourself of from your spot
and give it to this old lady? And Umar, he then mentioned that she
is the one who.
Allah subhanahu wa listened to her, and Allah revealed an ayah
due to her SubhanAllah. How can we not honor and revere Sanjay lady?
And this is Allah subhanahu wa, and this is the mercy that the
Sahaba radi Allah also showed when it came to Subhanallah, the
elderly and the women folk and may Allah subhanahu wa in order to
treat their women in the best of ways, aminyah palamin and in the
opposite as well. Today, nowadays, we hear that many men are being
abused. Also, Allah protect them as well. Subhanallah from its
difficulties, aminyah palabi And then Allah subhana wa taala,
mentioned in Shura, mentioned in Shura, suraha Masha Allah, a
beautiful, beautiful verse with Allah subhanho wa taala, in the
middle of the verse, mentioned to us that how important it is for us
to follow the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, everything
about him, everything that he said and everything that he done, this
is very important SubhanAllah. Allah subhanahu, WA mentions Wa ma
ATA Kumar, Rasulullah, Shadid wa IQ Allah Subhana. Subhanahu wa
mentions that whatever the messenger Muhammad, sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam came with, you need to follow that. And you need
to take fahu. You take from that everything he said, everything he
done, the example of the messenger SallAllahu sallam, that is what we
need to follow SubhanAllah. And Allah subhanahu wa to walk in the
footsteps of Sayyidina Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, everything that
he has said and everything that he has done in whatever the messenger
SallAllahu, sallAllahu has forbidden you to do. Refrain from
it. Allah subhanahu wa mentioned, and immediately after saying this
very important, Allah subhanahu says, WA, Taku, LA, and fear
Allahu Subha, indeed, Allah is Severe in punishment.
If we don't follow this the sayings of the Prophet sallallahu
sallam, his lifestyle, then we can prepare ourselves for a great
torment and a great punishment in the year after some of us will get
the start to get that punishment in this worldly life, already, in
May Allah protect us from that. Because the Prophet sallallahu,
Sallam is Rasulullah is Habib. Allah. He is Al muqtar. He's a
Mustafa is the chosen one by Allah subhanahu wa. And immediately
after that, Allah subhanahu wa mentioned to us about the quality
of people, that the Ansar was the helpers, those who preceded the
muhaji muhajirim, those who took travel from from Madina, from
Makkah to Medina, and they left everything behind, and they came
to meet those who were then in Madiha to Manoah, known as the
Ansar. And what Allah subhanahu says about them, tiruna, Allah and
fussy him, olokaana be him has also
hanafsi ka Ula, ika, humul, mufli, Hoon, Allah, Subhanahu. Wa Allah
mentioned they love those who immigrated to them and find that
anyone in their breast of what the immigrants were given, but give
them preference over themselves. Subhanallah, they thought nothing
of giving and sharing with their brothers that came, whom they did
not know from above, so Subhanallah, but because of them
having in their heart La Ilaha, illallah, Muhammad, Al rasulallah,
they cut, cut everything they own, their positions, everything they
cut in half, and they shared it with their beloved brothers and
sisters in Islam. And this is the true way of a believer. When we
see any other believer in difficulty, we will go the extra
mile and to the extra extent in order to assist and aid our
brothers and sisters, may Allah grant us the reality of this truly
the Ansara was a great example to us when it comes to that even
though they are in privation, Allah subhanahu wa cut themselves
short. They thought nothing of giving. And whoever is protected
from the stinginess of his soul, it is those who will be the
successful Allah subhanahu wa says our wealth today, it keeps us
back. It holds us back from the Mercy of Allah. It holds us back.
We don't see how we cut our risk short due to the fact that we
became bakhm and stingy. We don't want to spend, because we feel
that if we're spending, we will become poor. Allah. Subhanaw taala
guarantees us, and if you spend in the Cause of Allah, your wealth
will not be depleted. It will not Subhanallah be depleted. It will
not get less. But Allah subhanahu says, I will give you more if you
spend in my course. And here the example of the Ansar mashaAllah,
what a beautiful example. And Allah subhanahu wa mentions a
beautiful dua after that, wala, Dina, jam imbadi Me Abu na rabbi,
Lana walina, Sabah, Kuna will Imaan wala, aka
mentions that our Lord forgive us and our brothers who preceded us
in faith and put not in our hearts any resentment or hatred towards
those who have believed our Lord, indeed, you are kind and merciful,
very important. Sometimes we think about our predecessors as though
they knew nothing. They were the ones who plant planted the seeds
for us in order for us to practice our deen so freely and
beautifully. Today, look at the situation that we find ourselves
in. We are restricted. We are restricted now due to us being
negligent about what our predecessors has done for us.
They have done so much for us. They have opened the path for us.
They struggled and sacrificed for us, whether it was them being
exiled, whether it was them being thrown in jail, whether it was
them writing an entire Quran whilst being in jail. Subhanallah,
who of us could achieve that? Who of us today can even say in our
time, with all our technology that we have that we, from the start,
started to write by hand the Quran from cover to cover, Allahu Akbar.
This was the sacrifices of our predecessors, and Inshallah, we be
of those whom the Prophet SAW. He gives us instruction in nahi, in
negation. He says, Let the subbul amwata, do not curse those who
passed on the deceased. Do not harm those who are alive. So those
who preceded us from paraphernalia, they preceded us in
Iman Allah, don't let us have resentment in our hearts to
wisdom. Allah subhanahu says,
Rahim. Allah subhanahu says, Allah, and Merciful. Allah the
most kind and the Most Merciful, whether they might not have had
their aim that we have today at their disposal and at the hands
Allah He. They had taqwa and Allah subhanahu wa, they had the drive
in order for us to be today who we are. We can practice our deen
easily, and Allah subhanahu rewarded abundantly for that,
having Ali and then a very important ayah in the end of Sura
Hashem, Allah subhanahu wa mentioned to us the believers.
Yeah, you are ladina Amal takula, oh, the people of iman fear, Allah
subhanahu wa, Subhan wa Taala says that, what have you prepared for
the morrow? What have you prepared for tomorrow? What is coming?
Allah in this year, it indicates to qiyama, when, as he came to the
messengers of Salam and asked, When is the hour? But Assayas,
when is the hour? What did the Prophet respond? He did not give
time. He say, What did you prepare for the hour? Rather, don't speak
about the hour and worry about that, but prepare yourself
properly, properly for that hour. Allah mentions here, what have you
prepared for tomorrow? That time and Allah will resurrect us, and
we will stand in front of our Creator, and we will be questioned
for what we do. Subhanallah in Allah, Habib, Manu, Allah is well
informed of what we are doing. Everything that we do, Allah is
well informed. Do we think that Allah subhanahu wa sleeps in
slumber? Let the husk
ALLAH SubhanA says, sleep in slumber does not overtake Allah
subhanahu wa, so we must be extremely careful. Now as ta we as
Harbor, now as harbo Jannah, the people of the Hellfire, the people
of paradise, can never be the same. Allah subhanahu wa says, Abu
Jannati, who will fight his own and the people and the inhabitants
of Jannah, they are the successful ones, and may Allah grant us to be
among them. I mean, ya rab al Alameen. And then Allah subhanahu
wa mentions in the next Surah, Surat, ya lain, Ya Allah, this is
us. This is truly us. We must be very careful what we do. Allah
subhanahu wa says, Oh, the people of faith, Lima tahunu naman, why
do you say what you do not do? And this is so Subhanallah, so
relevant to our time. Allah subhanahu wa is asking us a
question. Are we really going to answer the question? Allah says,
For you people who believe, why do you say what you do not do? And
Allah says, Great is hatred in the sight of Allah that you say what
you do not do. Allah does not like actions like that. Allah, Subhan
wa Taal sin, actions like that, that whereby you speak and you
don't do as you say. Subhanallah, what do we tell our children
today? Don't do what I say. Don't do what I do. Do what I say.
Allahu, Akbar children, they follow what you see, the practice,
what they see in their homes. If they see there's a home whereby
Salah is being made, if they see a home where the Quran is being
decided, then Subhanallah, they will grow up like that, and the
Illa Allah will instill that values within them. Let us not be
of those who only talk the top and don't walk the walk that is very
important inshallah to Allah and Allah guide us. Allah. Subhana wa
Tala mentions another Aya URI Duna luta uno Allah, Abu Lari wala Kari
Han kafiru Salah rasulallahu. Bill
mentions beautifully that they want to extinguish, extinguish the
light of Allah. Now, who can even stay challenge Allah subhanahu wa,
did they challenge Allah subhanahu wa, wanting to extinguish the
light of Allah subhanahu wa and Allah says with their mouths, they
speak against Allah. They wanted to kill the Prophet sallallahu,
alayhi, Salat. They wanted to cut everything the means from the
Prophet sallallahu, sallam. But Allah will perfect this, like
Allah subhanahu wa says, Allah mutimunui. And then Allah says,
although the disbelievers dislike it, whether they didn't like it or
the dislike it, ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala will keep on. Let the flame
of Allah subhanahu wa taala that.
Might burn throughout the time and the banks of time, as it has
survived up until now, it will carry until Qiyamah and ALLAH
SubhanA wa taala, says Huw Ali Al Sala wa de ni Haq, it is He who
sent Subhanallah, who sent His Messenger, Salah ala Salam, with
guidance and the religion of truth to manifest it over all religion,
the deen of Islam, how fortunate we are to be Muslims. Subhanallah,
although those who associate others with Allah dislike it in
Wallahi, we can see it today. People frown if you speak about
Islam, people frown, but Allah subhanahu wa softens on the other
side, Allah softens those whose hearts were hardened and Allah
subhanahu wa softens their heart. Look their hearts. Look at the the
majority of people where they embrace Islam in abundance. It is
in UK, in Europe where Subhanallah, who would have
thought so many people entering into the fold of Islam. Today in
America, subhanAllah, how many people, after 911 they thought
that Islam would go down? But more so people want to know more about
the deen of Islam. And then one of the most beautiful ayah, which I
really, truly love in the Quran is where Allah subhanaw taala speaks
in Suratul taraq, Allah subhanahu wa says, wabaya, Allahu bakh Raja,
whoever is conscious of Allah subhanahu wa opens up a way for
such a person where Zuko, whom, in haitullah, Subhanahu wa, sustains
him in ways and means unimaginable to him, unfathomable, unfathomable
to that person, he can't fathom. Where is his sustenance coming
from? From every corner it's coming to him, although he asked
for it, or whether he don't ask for it, Allah subhanahu wa sends
it his way. Why? Because he's continuously conscious of Allah
subhanho wa taala. And Allah says, oh, Allah, Subhanahu wa requires
from us as believers, Mum, put your complete trust in Allah for
who hasbu Allah subhanahu wa taala is sufficient for such a person.
And Allah grant us to be from amongst those. Abhinay ralein in
Allah subhanahu wa says to end of a beautiful ayahmanu, and this is
for us, leaders, those who run our households, Allah,
people of iman, save yourself. Save yourselves and your family
from the hellfire. Waduhan, nasua, hijara, Allah, subhanaw taala says
the fire that's going to light up the hellfire. It is going to be
man in sun, human and stone that Allah protect us from this
inshaAllah. And Allah says that the Malaika, they are the ones
laud
they do not disobey Allah subhanahu wa, but they follow the
Command of Allah subhanahu wa, and only do as they are being
commanded, and may Allah protect us. And Allah ends up by saying,
we in tonight, YALI walina, Abu IL, Allah,
Allah subhanahu wa says that the people of faith repent to Allah,
turn to Allah subhanahu wa, repentance with a perfect
repentance inshaAllah, may Allah grant us to achieve that inshallah
by turning and breaking ourselves in front of Allah subhanahu wa in
sincere repentance. And if Allah subhanaw Then accept inshallah
Ramadan will be accepted, and we will be with the car from the
Hellfire Mina. Now Allah subhana wa Taala will then free us from
the Hellfire inshallah to Allah and grant us accepted Ramadan and
be in illallah, a relative that has been gained, Amin ya rabal
Alami, and Inshallah, we will be a nation. It will be successful.
Barak, Allahu, wa salamu, alaykum, warahmatullahi, taala,
wabarakatuh.
