Waseem Hendricks – Gems From The Quran. Juz 9

Look at

greet everyone with the most beautiful greeting, the greeting

of Islam, as well as the greeting of Jannah, Asmaa, Allah Barakatu,

we thank Almighty Allah subhanahu wa, fasting in this beautiful time

of the rahma, Allah subhanahu wa, SINDING upon us, almost done with

a third of Ramadan against SubhanAllah. How grateful we

should be to Allah subhanahu wa. Don't only give us the month of

Ramadan, but Allah subhanahu wa gives us a month of Ramadan, where

we are all being test and trial SubhanAllah. And Allah subhanahu

wa knows what the reward will be for us, and we can only but hope.

And how do we hope? As Rasulullah mentioned to us, man Sama,

Ramadan, Iman and rahti Seven, rufallah, mean dambi, that if we

fast for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa with true faith,

knowing that Allah subhanahu wa is the one that's going to reward us,

hoping in that reward, Allah subhanahu wa will forgive us all

our previous sins. And that is the ultimate goal, Ya Allah. We want a

clean slate. Ya Allah, we want to turn to you. We want good to you,

closeness to you, Ya Allah. We want you to gaze upon us, Ya

Allah. And this is so beautifully mentioned out of the gems of the

Quran tonight, where Allah, Subhanahu wa gathered all of

creation before we were created, subhanAllah, in the in the place

where all the ruh our RUHS were gathering Subhanallah, and Allah

subhanahu wa made us testify. And Allah subhanahu wa asked us a

pertinent question, Allah, Am I not your Lord? Allah subhanahu wa,

subhanAllah and all of us together, the whole creation, from

Adam alaihi, salatu wasalam till the last person that Allah

subhanahu wa, saying ALU Bala Shahid Na, we are testifying,

Allah, that you are our true Lord, Allah subhanahu wa, so why do we

still find it difficult today that when the time comes for the

worship of Allah SubhanaHu wa, when the time comes to execute

what Allah subhanahu wa desires from us, His laws, his Sharia, why

do we still find difficulty? Allah subhanahu wa is the one that can

truly guide us, Jamaat al Muslim, whereby Allah subhanahu wa teach

us, if we find ourselves in difficulty, how can we call upon

Allah subhanahu wa? What is the way that we can call upon Allah

subhanahu wa, and Allah subhanahu wa mentions, immediately after

that, Wali Asmaa al Husna, father, ubiha, the to Allah subhanahu wa,

these beautiful names of Allah subhana wa, taala, how Many of us

has took took upon us the initiative of actually memorizing

the names of Allah subhanho wa taala, knowing what it truly

means. Because sometimes we find ourselves in difficulties and

Allah subhanahu wa himself mentioning to us the call unto my

beautiful names, we sometimes find ourselves in difficulty when it

comes to finance. Everybody's got difficulty in finances. We cannot

cover this. We cannot cover that. This is a difficulty upon me.

Allah, Subhanahu wa through his beautiful name,

Ya Allah, you are Raza. You sustain me. You are the one that

can give me. Ya Allah, Allahu Akbar. Can we imagine, just by the

Beautiful Names of Allah subhanahu wa, if you find difficulties in

our lives, what can we say, yah, Fatah, oh, the the one who can

open up for us, how can we don't call by the name of Allah

subhanahu wa, if we find that things are happening against us,

we are not in a good space. Why do we don't we say, ya la tee Oh

Allah subhanwar, Tara, the most kind Allahu Akbar, bring time

quality upon me. Let me be Alhamdulillah in a good space once

again. And May Allah guide us. The 99 Names of Allah subhanahu wa is

so beautiful, called Asmaa rahasana, let us try and make

effort inshallah and sacrifice, sacrifice in order for us to learn

this beautiful names of Allah subhanahu wa, and then also this

beautiful book which Allah subhanahu wa has given us. Allah

subhanahu wa.

Mentioned to us, WA Ida Hari Ali wa Ida Kuri Al Quran, fasla.

If we are not able to read this Quran, if you are not able to read

the Arabic language, Allah subhanho wa taala, gives us hope

to say that if you listen to the words of Allah subhanho wa taala,

Kuri Ali mu Quran, first listen to it attentively. Stamina Allah

subhanahu wa says, and perhaps you will find the Rahma of Allah

subhanahu wa. This is the time of Rahman. This is the first turn of

the month of Ramadan. The Quran is what we should indulge in

throughout this entire month of Ramadan. Gain closeness to it, try

to understand it, try to implement it in our lives. And what a

beautiful way to do it. If we are not able to read, or if, even if

we are able to read, let us listen to this Quran attentively, whether

it is ourselves reading, whether it is us, listening to somebody

else reading. Let us listen to it and find them quality and peace in

that. And perhaps Allah subhanahu wa is this because ALLAH SubhanA

wa Taala mentioned to us you are the believers. And what happens to

a believer?

Allah subhanahu wa taala says, In Namal, minoona, Larina, either do

Kira, Allah wa JILA. Allah subhanahu wa says, The believers

are those when they hear the name of Allah subhanahu wa mentioned,

it brings a temple to their hearts. Their hearts are shaking

Subhanallah, it brings a temple to their hearts. Why they hear the

name of Allah? Can we imagine we are indulging in anything besides

the remembrance of Allah subhanahu wa, and the name of Allah

subhanahu wa is mentioned, and it does not have an effect on us. Can

we imagine what is our current state? Then we need to turn to

Allah subhanahu wa. Isallah Subhanahu wa mentioned to us that

they are the ones, the believers, that if my name is mentioned, it

brings a tremor to their hearts, subhanAllah wa ilahim, ayatom,

Iman. And when they listen to this verses which Allah subhanahu wa

revealed upon Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, what

does it do? It increased them in faith. How many of us we recite

this Quran, and we read this Quran, and it does not have an

effect on us. Allah subhanahu wa, guide us. Allah subhanahu wa,

grant us to be among the true believers that when we hear the

name of Allah subhanahu wa, it brings a table to our hearts. Why?

Because everything stands still with the name of Allah subhanahu

wa is mentioned when the says, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar,

nothing else matters, not my transactions. Nothing matters, but

Allah subhanahu wa comes first in our lives. When Allah is

mentioned, we understand that nothing is greater than this great

being. Allah subhanahu wa created everything, and he does as he

please, and he pleases and wishes, and may Allah subhana wa Taala

guide us. And when we recite this Quran, or listen to verses that

are being recited of this Quran, it will increase us in our faith

and in our Imaan, Amin, ya Rameen, bringing us together and bringing

us closer to Allah, Subhanahu, WA and Inshallah, to that hope. Ya

Allah, You grant us the understanding of these verses. Ya

Allah, You grant us entering into paradise through these verses. Ya

Allah yo grant this Quran that we are reading or that we are

listening to, let it be a means of shafara for us that day when we're

going to need a companion, is going to lead us and take us into

paradise, namin our parami, and that is obviously with our his

master. So you do know Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam,

Barak Allahu, vikum wa akhir Darwin, Alhamdulillah,
