Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Ali whatever All the bill who Follow,
he
was
a I
greet everyone with the
most beautiful greeting, the greeting of Islam, as well as the
greeting of Jannah, Assalamualaikum, warahmatullahi,
due to
Allah subhanahu wa said, no choices,
salutations upon our masters in Muhammad, sallAllahu, Alam. And I
must mention, I can see that it was a joyous need when I said
Assalamu alaikum, the response that I got was beautiful,
Alhamdulillah, and that is always the enthusiasm of a believer. We
are so happy when somebody say assalamu alaikum, that we know
that it's incumbent upon us to respond to them. And what we
actually are saying is Masha Allah, we are all safe from one
another, and we are protecting each other's honor and dignity.
And that is the beauty of Islam, and that is why today is a very
beautiful day. It's our first Friday after the best days of the
year, and we want to discuss a few things with regards to how we're
going to go about to carry on. And the example is going to be the
best example, or one of the best examples that we're going to use,
and this is in the life of Khalid Allah, in the life of the bosom
friend of Allah subhanahu wa, intimate friend of Allah subhanahu
wa, Allah subhanahu wa speaks about Ibrahim, Alaihi, salatu
assalam, and his journey towards Allah subhanahu wa and Allah
mentions first, naman Ali,
Han ini, Arakawa, Komba, kamin balari, moving so the palang Ali,
the first verse that we discuss with Allah subhanahu wa taala sis
And he mentioned Oh Muhammad Sallallahu, alayhi salam, who's
speaking to us, who's teaching us, oh Prophet alayhi salatu wasallam.
So when we think about this, when Allah mentioned this, Allah says,
what is that? It is to give us a reminder, right? And Rasulullah,
sallAllahu wa sallam is the one now, as Allah Subhanallah says to
him, yahim, read the verse to
Him, to them, Yahi Aya. Use a key
where you Ali Muhammad, so what? What does it What? What is this
going to do for us as followers of the Prophet, Ali salatu wa salam,
it is going to purify us. Allah Subhan wa Taala guarantees. If
Allah Subhan wa Taala has mentioned something, then we know
that what Allah ha that the Promise of Allah, it is true, it
will come to so it will never affected us in the Prophet alayhi
salatu wa salam reminds us by saying, when Ibrahim, alaihi
salatu wa salam said to his father, Azam, now I want to bring
something close to us. You know, if we look at as who was Azam is
to come to know as the father of Ibrahim alaihi salatu was,
although we know this,
but we understand the majority of the city mentions that he is the
father of Ibrahim alaislam, right? So we must look at it in a similar
fashion to look within ourselves, because sometimes a message comes
to us,
the true message we spoke about. Who's reminding us? Muhammadu
Rasulullah. Is this the true message? When we hear yusula
alaihi salam says, What should we think about? We should think about
it him standing in front of us and giving us the message. Now,
don't look at Mawlana Waseem standing here. It's not him
saying. It's not my words. This is the words of Allah, His message to
Ali salatu as so think about it that Rasulullah Sallam is now
mentioning, right and what we are the azures of our time.
This is not literally speaking. I'm not saying we are like Azra.
Who worship Asmaa, but Metaphorically speaking, if you
look into our lives, we are similar to this. We are idols
worshiping everyday with these the pop idols, whether it is Allah
knows best, who's the singers today? I don't know.
Oh, there's soccer idols here. I can say Ronaldo is the only name I
know. Oh, yeah, I'm busy. I
can never get your Liverpool guys. It's almost sad now, but
Alhamdulillah, we have those idols that we worship,
the Liverpool guys. It's just
it's a nice joke for me, because I can see how people love soccer
today. They worship it. Like I said in the past, soccer is
probably a religion today, Allah's best.
Sorry to the poor guys. I'm going to start putting the little poor
guys on top. Inshallah.
So we sometimes need to think about it that we as the Asos of
our time, because the message come clearly to us,
right? What is the message Allah, Subhanahu, wa's as deities?
Do we take another as a deity? Do we take no Salah as a deity? Do we
take whatever idol we worship? Do we take findings as a deity?
Do we take our status in our rank as deities.
LGBTQ, it's a way of life today, plus PMC, tqrst, I had to say.
But is this our deities that we are looking at in such a manner
that it's almost like worshiping it?
Allah, subhana wa Taala asked a question, do you think idols is
deities? And then Allah subhanahu wa says, Indeed, I see you and
your people to be in manifest ill. Allah says that if this is what
you are doing, you in the complete lost way, you need to return back
to the way of Allah Jala. Jala
Ibrahim, alaihi, salatu asmaag in the way that he conducted himself,
why he became such a person that Allah had to give him a title that
is so close to Allah as Khalid, as an intimate friend of Allah. And
we'll see now why? Because Ibrahim alaisla wa Salam is Allah
subhanahu wa mentions waka Dali Kali, Ibrahim, the salawati wala
wali yaku naminal Mu Subhan Allah. Allah subhanahu wa says, Waka Tali
Kali. And thus did we show Ibrahim
the realm of the have the heavens and the earth, that He would be
among the servant in faith, Allah, Subhanahu wa shows him the
greatness of Allah's creation.
And you know, Allah gave us eyes to see the beauty of Allah's
creation. Every day we see
it. Every day we see the beauty of Allah's creation. If you open our
eyes, what do we say as believers? The first
thing the believe, believer does is we praise Allah.
Just imagine you open your eyes and there is absolutely no sight.
You cannot see darkness upon darkness in front of you. Now,
what will happen to us? We'll go in depression, but Allah, every
day,
without fail, grant you the bounty of Isaac. And how many of us every
day make sugar just for the bounty of Isaac, will never be able to
thank Allah enough for this. Is Allah mentioned, but Allah that
you can try
to enumerate the favors of Allah. Subhanahu
wa Allah says you've never been able to do it. And
Allah grant us the understanding of this, because we're only
speaking about one bounty. This is about your eyesight. How many
bounties Allah give us every day, breathing for free, breathing for
free, except when you go to the hospital, you must pay for the
canister.
Allah bliss,
our oxygen are free. Alhamdulillah, right? So it's
better to be out of hospital, because they didn't get it for
free. When you go into hospital, you must pay for it. Allah knows
best, right? And then Allah subhanahu wa mentioned so
beautifully about Ibrahim alai salatu assalam, how he reached
that
sickness in that faith, when Allah says, Allah
says, so when
the night,
when The Night covenant him with darkness. When the night covenant
was meaning you saw, there's night time. Now, what is this? You saw a
star which was bright in the sky.
Sometimes has happened to us. We see something amazing.
It is so amazing that we you know, it's a.
Wow moment, wow. Subhanallah, let me say, right, so it's a wow
moment. What happened Ibrahim alaislam, say? He said, what
had a Rabi?
Can you imagine a W Allah, a Rasulullah? He looks and he tried
to find his creator. He sees this beautiful creation of Allah in the
darkness of the night. Remember where he was.
There was no buildings, no lights, street lights and nothing. It was
teach Dark Nights. They had to
try this. Go to the desert. I think
your wife. Hello.
Used to be hadijah used to relax under the stars that were true
stars that was true love. It was through romanticism today, outside
of what do you want to do?
Just
come inside the house of
speak
Allah says, For efforts has been today Subhanallah, very difficult,
right? But I'll stop there by difficult, not going further
inshaAllah. And I you said, Be and then Allah, Subhanahu wa goes, and
by saying how he reacted to eat Subhanallah,
Allah, you said. But when it
said, when the star in the sky, when it sit with the beauty of its
light, were no longer I like not those that disappear, he said, I
can't. How can this be my God and my Lord. If he disappears, he
realized that this cannot be my Lord. So we are wow moments. We
have a wow moments. But at wow moment, how long does it last?
A moment? That's what it's called, a moment, not only but for a
moment. And we think it is so great. Sometimes it's us. We think
we are so great. We think we have done so much greatness in this
world. Allahu, Akbar anavi of Allah is teaching us a lesson.
There's a reason, you know, we must put things into perspective,
into perspective in our lives, because these are, these are the
examples that Allah has given us, almost sounded American. They
accept examples,
right? So may Allah subhanahu wa guide us to understand the best
stories. Is what the Quran
you just take Iran. Listen from this. Then sometimes we think that
one moment is so great, but Allah says that he realized, and we need
to realize, that this is not good for us. It's not good for us to be
so much involved and indulge in these beautifications of this
world and the enjoyments of this world. There are bigger things to
worry about. And then what
came about. He saw what he saw the moon.
You saw the moon rising now we know a full moon, how beautiful it
looks. Imagine the pitch, dark night when you say that this must
be my Lord. Ah, thou. Robbie is looking for guidance. He's looking
for his Lord who created him. He's looking to worship the one that is
supposed to worship. We are still looking, although we know it,
they've been through it in order to be example to us, who is our
Lord we understand today, who are lonely,
Allah subhanahu wa took them through the channels to teach us
what life is about. And what did he say? And
he says that by when it said, he said, Unless my lord, my lord
guides me, I will surely be among the people gone astray. Why?
Because it disappeared.
They like came. And what was the light? The next verse,
subhanAllah, then the sun came up,
and what did he say? And this is amazing how it says,
This is the greatest of all the Savitri thus far, because the sun
is beautiful, the light, you know, we can't even face the sun with
our naked eye as far as we are away, millions of miles
we are away from the sun, we still cannot look at it. Allah's
greatness. And yeah, Allah stipulated, he said it up. This is
Akbar. This is the greatest of all the signs that I have seen. And
then what happened to
the sun? Parama, afala, subhanAllah, he says, but when it
said, he said, Oh, my people indeed, I am free from what you
associate with Allah.
And look at what he says, if the waja to watch here, little lady,
Fatah, Salah, diwama and namin.
He Allahu, Akbar, he says, Indeed, I have turned my face towards He
Who created the heavens and the earth, inclining towards truth.
And I am not of those who associate others with Allah. He
realized that there's a greater being that created all this
greatness that he has seen now,
and he testifies that that is the one that I turn my direction too.
That is the one, the one who is the true Akiba, the one is greater
than any of whatever great things we think is great. Allah is
greater than that. Subhanallah and then Allah, subhana, Allah says,
Waha jahukala, Abu ha Judi filahi wa pada hadan wala, Krishna was a
question, as Allah says, and this people argued with him. So we will
argue the fact, you know, what happens today? We debate
Darwinism. We debate all the theories when it comes to atika,
amazing and Allah subhanahu wa,
examples, it's ready for us. Do you argue with me concerning Allah
Ali has guided me? Ibrahim, alaihi, salatu wa salam responding
to them. You are hearing with me well, but Allah has guided me, and
I fear not what you associate with Him.
Allah, look how bold and boast. You know, strong person. Aw,
Allah, who can only speak the truth.
He cannot. He's not like us. We can still hide our emotions. If we
feel ourselves in danger, we can keep our mouth. Aw could not keep
his
mouth. Aw had to react, and you had to say, the truth, Allah,
grant us the strength. For indeed, when we see the truth, we need to
speak out against him. We need to act upon it.
We see the challenges. Today has been passed by an ulama Authority
Board. Can you imagine who are the people that responds
and said joke,
what if we become it's a joke. I don't
want to mention the person's name, just going to sue me,
subhanAllah, but people that's got no associated association with
Islam is explaining to us what is the brother
is nothing as a Muslim,
and he wants to explain, how is he going to be affected by this
Wallahi, what is this?
What have we become? You
know, and everybody's right.
May Allah guide us, because what is being done is the truth. What
has been sent is the truth. It comes from our deen. How come we
shy away from our deen, this is amazing.
Why? Because we're scared that people's going to speak out
against us if we speak about our deen, no, we are not scared. We
will, Inshallah, speak the truth, although what we do, and this is
amazing, that what has been done in the fatwa, it has been placed
so beautifully for everybody to explain that they know mashaAllah.
They take only what they feel they can benefit from in order to get
crown
right for their agenda. They take that and then they Masha Allah put
it first to society, and society are weak enough to to accept this
and to entertain it, and Allah protect us from this. Here is our
guidance. Allah, Subhanahu wa said, and I fear not what you
associate with Allah.
I cannot fear your God. I cannot fear whatever is going to happen,
right? And he also is very clear when he says this, he says, We
will not be a harm guide by
ourselves. Make it very clear, I will not be a harm guide because
who do we have? Allah? Who do
we believe
Allah? And Allah
gives us a guarantee. Allah gives us a guarantee. What's
guaranteed?
Whoever has a hand in aiding the deed of Allah, who will help you,
Allah?
Where is our Yaqeen and where's our belief in who?
In fear,
Allah will help us,
although when we speak, we are still the people of humility we
respond, we are still people who conduct ourselves with the life of
Muhammad, Ali salatu as
Masha, Allah. Allah, what a beautiful day we have just
thinking about what I'm saying now. It is so beautiful to be a
Muslim.
We don't need to be rude,
we just need to give the heart over to the person, and then we
leave it in the hands of Allah.
Imagine Ibrahim alaislam being stranded in a place where there's
no one. Allah tells him, give a calling, let the people come.
He responds, because he's a human you say, Ya, Allah, there's no one
here.
Where am I? Who am I going to call?
It's Allah's response.
You do as we say, and we will do the work. The rest is not up to
you. The rest is up to us. And what happened? Alhamdulillah
brought the clouds. That's exactly how open jellyfish will be. Give
the Dawah,
give the truth, and put your trust in Allah. And Allah is the change
of hearts. Allah is the one that changed the hearts inshallah.
Allah grant us the ability to give through the Allah inshallah in
order to change people's hearts. And he's Ibrahim alaislam, as he
says that and I will not be harmed unless, my Lord should will
something, so only if Allah wills I will be harmed. You can't help
me.
Amazing, Allah.
Amazing. He's got absolutely no fear,
although he's bad alone. Here's the idol worshipers in front of
you. But this is what's happening SubhanAllah.
He says that Allah Abu Asmaa.
Allah says, My Lord, encompasses all things in knowledge. Allah
knows whatever you still think of. Allah knows whatever you never
thought of about. Allah knows he had that yakin in Allah, then will
you not remember you asked a question? Waka Aha, ashraq. Tum
wala, a half
to powerful. Then
he
says,
and how should I fear what you associate while you do not fear
that you have associated with Allah, that for which He has not
sat down to you any authority. He's asking him a question, how
can I feel? How I can't do this right? And then he says, So, which
of the two parties has more right to security. If you should know
who's Allah going to protect you? Think Allah is going to protect
you? He's asked. Imagine the enemies in front of you and you
speak things like that. Do you think Allah is going to protect
you with no fear? Say, oh my could you get the numbers?
Are you going
he's bold enough to say, I'm telling you, who's going to get
the security you with your idols.
They can't even talk. They can't even respond to you,
right? SubhanAllah.
Allah,
Subhanahu
wa says they will believe and do not mix they believe with
injustice.
Injustice. You look at life, life today is unjust. That's what we
say.
What is the war against? See, the war is against the Muslims. Is
it true?
The Muslims are too tough. The
Muslims wake up and speak the truth
and say, Guys, come to Allah. Come to this. Deen, rush to it. This is
your salvation. This is going to give up to you truth.
This is what happened. How come it is that Rasulullah Sabah could
send one Ambassador
into a foreign country and say, Go, you're going to be the
governor here. You need to teach the people Islam without fear of a
doubt. They went
all my muhad.
You went ambassador. Where did
he go? To? To Yaman.
You know? What did he do? He preached Islam. What is happening
today?
Allah,
Allah Amen, SubhanAllah. May Allah protect our
brothers and
sisters all around the world, inshallah. I mean, you know, Allah
subhanahu wa,
those who don't do injust and unjust and commit injustice, these
are the people that will be rightly guided. And I end over
this ayah until now I I think that Ibrahim told
me Allah subhanahu wa says, and that was our conclusion argument
which we gave Ibrahim ala Salah to assalam against his people, his
people that were unjust.
Is people that were idol worshipers, these people that
didn't want to accept the truth. We are in the same boat today.
Like I said, We are the assass of today. We need to fight our lives.
We are the cult the nation today that when we hear the Haqq, we are
the ones that is so sad, that we are the ones that ask questions
today about our indeed, we are fighting among each other. We
cannot even accept the truth. And Allah accept all of our efforts to
understand the deep properly, and Allah grant us the understanding.
Ali in Allah, Subhanahu wa says, we raised by degrees whom we will
indeed, your Lord is wise. And
Allah, Subhanahu wa says, will never allow us. Allah will raise
them. And what do we do? We humble ourselves in front of Allah,
because we know Ya Allah. We are weak. We know Ya Allah. Only
through your assistance and aid Can we touch the hearts of others.
Can we practice the deed, the beautiful deed of Islam, in
totality, in a way manner that Allah, Subhanahu
wa need to set up. We have to do this, and we need to ask Allah
subhanahu wa, because we have the light, what is the light
Rasulullah?
What is the light? Islam is the light, what is the light? Imaan is
our light. We have it with us, but are we going to keep it self,
selflessly or selfishly enough? Selfishly, we're keeping it to
ourselves. This is the deed that need to be spread to the four
corners of the world.
Our brain wires of the past. They went without fear in their hearts.
They understood that if I die, I die in the second Allah is Allah
scores, I will die and Shaheed and Allah will grant me a reward that
nobody knows. Only Allah knows.
The shaheeds got such a high rank for Allah today, we are scared to
to close our eyes in the past of Allah,
we need to sit back and reflect what is our purpose. We have a
purpose, a purpose you could stand up and you could say, in Allah,
they were human, like you, and I. Only difference was they were
handpicked by Allah to be the messengers of Allah. Who are we?
We are the messengers of Rasulullah. We need to preach
his deed, the deed that he came with the deed that he showed that
Allah says, I perfected it for you,
and I have Masha, Allah favored you for that bounty.
And I'm pleased with Islam. Is your deed? How pleased are we with
Islam? Is our deed?
How pleased are we with Islam and our deed? We must ask ourselves
the question, and I leave you with that today, we are one
brotherhood.
We need to unite, stand together. We are being ridiculed from all
signs, but we have the haqqan, we have the truth. And as Allah
says, The truth will always prevail.
The truth will always overpower the falsehood. Believe that
because your Allah, my Allah, says that, so let us stand together.
Let us open our eyes together early in the morning hours and cry
to Allah. And Allah say, I descend with my Rahman and my Gus and my
mouth Fira, and whatever you ask I will give you. And the Ummah is
asleep.
The sleep, that's the time to cry, that's the time to shed tears. Let
us visit each other for the sake of Allah. Why? Because visiting
Allah for the sake of Allah will give us what it will give us a
spot under the shade of the ash of Allah the Day of Qiyamah, when
there will be no shade. Leah, Taha Bucha salad says they just greet
each other out of love for the sake of Allah and Allah will keep
the spot for them under the house of Allah,
who will be able to tolerate the heat which Allah will descend upon
us the Day of Qiyamah,
when our deeds will count in our favor. Are we so confident that
you can say, Allah is fine, I did not deeds.
Are we so confident?
Think about these things in Allah, you know, future sessions, as in
the past, we spoke about Jannah. We need to speak about jahannam.
We need to be reminded about jihad. You know,
we only speak about the dharaja, you know,
will be raised, but remember the dharakat, the lowered
levels of jahannam. Where do we want to be? And one of the lowest
bits is what? Who wants to be there as Allah?
Is don't
speak about him. Allah, the hypocrites. Who will they be? They
will be the lowest point of *. Ya Allah. May Allah be purify our
hearts. Because when we listen to this verses, we don't look at the
speaker. We listen to the message, because the message comes directly
from Allah. May
Allah beautify us. May Allah grant us closeness to him. May Allah
grant us to be true followers of Muhammad
Sallallahu. Now I just want to read out a letter and Subhanallah,
I must congratulate everyone. It was a part of this. And for those
who only make to Abu Allah, bless you and grant you to do even more
inshaAllah, maybe it was to your to us if we could preach this
beautiful nature mashaAllah, and it states from the icons and Imam
Council of the northern suburbs as.
