Inshallah, we will share some advice if we have heard that we've
recited in the first rakaat
some beautiful verses where Allah subhanahu wa speaks about those
who pass away and die in the path of Allah subhanahu wa. Allah
subhanahu wa
will be trialed and tested, and that is part of being alive.
None of us that are alive today can say that we have not been
trialed or tested in our life. All of us, we went through certain
difficulties in our lives. Alhamdulillah, Allah, Subhanahu wa
given us a manual, something that we should connect with. And today,
as I've discussed with my learners, I said, the book of
Allah is not something that is just dead.
It's not something that you should look at just as a Mushaf, as a
book like any other book, the book of Allah, Subhanahu wa Taala is
very much alive.
And I challenge all of us ourselves first, and I challenge
them as youngsters. I said today, if you face any difficulty in your
life, go to Allah subhanahu wa and how one of the ways that you can
go to Allah subhanahu wa is by reading the book of Allah. Open
the book of Allah subhanahu wa, find yourself in the difficulty.
Anyway, don't think, just open the book of Allah and start reading,
and you will see Allah reveals to you answers. But because our Taal
look and our relationship with Allah subhanho wa Taala is not so
strong, that is why we face these challenges and these difficulties,
and we try to solve it ourselves, and that puts stress upon
ourselves. And then tomorrow we find ourselves that we're in the
lowest point in our life, and now only we realize, hey, I still have
Allah subhanahu wa taala to turn to Allah. Subhanho wa Taala speaks
profoundly in the Quran. And start of by La Nina Aman, Allah speaks
to the people of iman, and that is us, SubhanAllah. And this is
something that we must treasure, that Allah has given us faith, and
Allah has given us Iman. Allah, subhanho wa Taala says, ista Ainu
vi sabhari wa Salla
Allah gives commands. Allah says, Come to me
and practice patience and pray to Me
and have patience after that, because ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala
promises that when we ask Allah subhanahu wa anything, Allah
subhanahu wa respond to us. We don't have a lord that lie, and it
cannot be our Lord. It cannot be our Creator. But in our Allah said
that my promise is true, and when Allah says true, he will fulfill
that. Allah subhanahu wa never, ever, ever leave us in a place
whereby we would feel that we have no one to turn to. Allah promised
that if you turn to me, I'll be there for you. I will respond to
you just come.
Allah promised through Rasulullah sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam,
where Allah commands him to say either salaqa Ibadi and NIFA in
the Kareem, that if my servants speak and ask about me. Tell them
Muhammad,
Allah, Subhanahu wa, didn't say, Muhammad, you give them an answer.
Allah. Say, I Allah, give the answer. I am near to them,
Muhammad, tell them, Allah. Say, Allah is close to them. And
closeness Allah, Subhanahu wa, there's no need for Allah to
explain it. But Allah, no humankind. Allah. Say, let me
explain to you what closeness mean. Wana me, Allah, Abu alai, I
am closer to you. Mean hablawa reed in your jagil Lavan, that is
how close Allah is to us. Allah, you know Allah. Subhanaw taala
goes in detail when Allah explained to us how close he is to
us, why to give us understanding that I am so close to you, the
only thing you need to do is turn to me. I'm your Lord, Allah. I'm
here for you. Allah. Subhanho wa Taala says that
the people that fight in the path of Allah, they are not dead.
The people that fight in the pot on the cause of Allah. Subhanho wa
taala, the world is in chaos. Jamati, Muslim, the entire world.
Alhamdulillah. I think is the first time that I add a little bit
of a breather, because now what I'm seeing what is happening
globally, and especially in the Middle Eastern countries, they
starting to speak out.
They starting to write down rods rudud. We are not satisfied with
what the enemy is doing to us. There's no way that we can look at
it differently. They are our enemy. They are not friends of
ours. They are not friends of the world. They are not friends of
humanity.
They are the habif. They are the shayateen of this earth. They
don't think nothing of humankind. How can you say that our blood is
better than the blood of someone else? We are all the creation of
Allah. And that is why Islam is the answer. That is why we need to
look at how we live our lives. This introspection should take
place now with Al jamata Muslim. You know, the petty things that we
still fight about Walla is by time that we give up on that, yeah,
many great things that is happening in the world, and we
need to wake up as believers and stand to be.
And firm, and I can see it's starting to happen. And you know,
what is the the thought that comes to mind that this is now
prophesies. The prophet spoke about this. There's going to come
a time then when this happened, qiyama is coming,
and my ear is starting to rise when I just, when I said, QA
Allah, Akbar, are we ready? Are we ready? Isa, alaihi salatu,
assalam, is going to come, the Mahdi is going to come. Who is
going to be the army of the Mahdi and Isa? Are we ready? It's going
to happen. No matter how the world want to look at it. We don't care
how they look at it, because Allah says so. And the Prophet Muhammad,
sallAllahu, alaihi salam says so. But are we ready? You know, I was
thinking about fitness. Allah, imagine we must run from here to
Joburg in a fight. I don't know. You know. Am I going to be fit
enough? Are we preparing ourselves? We preparing this?
Masha, Allah, with our studies, but mentally, physically, are we
speaking to our children about this? Do they know the severity of
what is going to come, that that child is going to come? You need
to be prepared for us. Allah speaks about this, and Allah says,
Those Mujahideen that's dying, let them not die in vain. They're
dying for a certain message. They're dying for something great,
and that is Al Aqsa. How many of us are making a dua for Al Aqsa
every day of our lives, every moment that we can, we have to.
It's part of our creed. Is part of aqidah. The Mujahideen are dying.
And I call them Mujahideen because they are Mujahideen. They are not
the scum of the earth that people want to try to picture and place
it within the hearts of people. No, they are the Mujahideen. They
are the people that fight for Haqq they are the people that stand for
Aqsa. And we need to recognize that, and we need to give them
recognition for that. Allah subhanahu wa messenger says, I'm
coming. There's so much I want to say, but it's between mahari and
Ishay. Everybody wants to have a nice meal, inshallah. So the
hadith of man in bashiri mentions that Rasul Salam, he said that the
example of the believers in the mutual love. Look at how
Rasulullah speak. You don't just speak about believers. You say the
example of the believers in their mutual love. That is what we this
is who we are. We need to love each other all the time.
We need to feel for each other. What I want for myself. I want to
my brother, for my sister, for my child, for somebody else's child,
for my grandmother, grandfather. Others also elders, whoever they
are in the world, Muslim or non Muslim, but we're speaking about
believers here, and Allah and Rasul assalam connects with the
believers love, mutual love for each other. Example of the
believers in their mutual love and then mercy and compassion. That is
who we are. We should have mercy and compassion towards each other.
How come we don't have mercy? Somebody do something we are
eating for the of the entire lives, because something small
that they've done this is not the way of Muhammad SAW Salam connects
with us as believers, mercy and compassion.
Shower people with mercy and compassion. If you do it in this
world, the angels in the Samara and Allah rasouza Don't call it
the angels, he said, the creation in the Samar, meaning the creation
that we know about, who is the angels and those whom we don't
know about, they will show mercy upon you. We want to receive
mercy. Show mercy. You want kindness. Show kindness. You want
compassion. Show compassion. This is the way of the believers,
right? So, yeah, you saw as saying they are the example shown to each
other, mutual love, mercy, compassion, right? They are to
each other like a body.
They are like a body. When one limp aches, the entire body
responds by sleeplessness and fever. How can our lives carry on
normal? Now, in this situation, it can't be normal
if your your small, little toe of your body is knocking against a
wall. Now, can you imagine what will happen? Are
you going to say, Okay, it's only my, my toe, my pinky toe. There's
painting. My body is released from that. That Pinky can handle it
itself. It's not going to happen. Our entire body is going to feel
that pain and ache and fever. We're going to take pain tablets.
We're going to do whatever we can. And that is the believers, our
brothers, sisters, children are being murdered and massacred. What
are we doing? Dramatically? Are we doing something about it? This is
for us to introspect and think about it. We are the believers. We
have mutual love for each other. We show kindness and mercy to each
other. We think and we want for others what we want for ourselves.
Look at us sitting so beautifully comfortable listening to Allah
Scala and the speech of the Prophet Muhammad, sallAllahu,
alayhi wa sallam. No worries. Calm in our masjid, but other places,
our people are being bombed. Masajid are being bombed. Why?
Because they are Muslim. It's the only reason. Why?
Because they are Muslim. We are Muslim. We need to stand together
inshaAllah. Let us be of those that when people come to us with
those was of shaytaan, because remember Allah say the shayateen
al in.
So that's not only the the shaitan, but there's the shaitan
of the the human kind as well. They will come and try to split
you up and separate you through simple things, things which is not
allowed in Sharia, things which we will have differences about. But
Allah subhanahu wa look at us with mercy through that, because he saw
the salam was a Nabi of mercy, and he came to spread mercy, but we
use that mercy, and we want to create rifts with each other, with
the mercy, merciful Words of Allah is a Salam. This is not how we
should act as believers. We should bring people together. We must
say, my brother, I disagree with you, but I love you, for Allah
said,
I love you. Wallahi, I'm not here because I'm not saying things
because I hate you. I'm saying it because I love you. So we agree to
disagree on this, but Masha, Allah, my brother, I love you, let
us carry on with life,
because our mission and our vision and our maqs is only one, and that
is to seek the pleasure of Allah. May Allah grant us His pleasure.
May Allah allow us that we can feel the pain of every single
person that is going through difficulty in the world. May Allah
allow us to feel that pain with them. May Allah allow us through
our DUA and Christ Allah and one tear that is being shed, shed on
behalf of the difficulties of others, may Allah allow that dua
that we make to make a difference in their lives. InshaAllah, and
what is the difference we're waiting for? It was asked in the
time Rasul, Asmaa Allah, the cry was being cried. When is the
victory coming? Allah in Nasr, Allah, karib Allah say, Don't
worry, the victory is near its coming. Jamaat al muslimin, soon
the victory will come. The victory will come, and we will walk. Tak
taliwa, he said, na Muhammad,
under the benavo of Muhammad, under the benavour Muhammad,
Muhammad,
Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, Ali Naya, rapa Alameen,
let us have that love for him. Salua ala Salam, and when I say
love for him, the words that has been utter is not the words of
Mala is the words of Muhammad. SallAllahu, sallam, we need to
feel pain. If our brothers and sisters are feeling pain, feel
that pain. Inshallah, they have to Yamada, brother and the child that
was massacred will stand in front of you and say, Allah, this person
is not going to go to jahannam Ya Allah, He is the one that made dua
for me cry that night for me, Allah, please let him enter with
me into Jannah. Amin, Ira, pala mean, Allah, accept us always here
where we are, because we are blessed, and let us, because of
our blessings, realize our blessings and inshaAllah, raise
our hands in thankfulness and gratefulness to Allah. And when we
raise our hands, Allah will accept in that side of the world that
they will be victorious inshaAllah, Allah, ankum,
assalamu, Alaikum.
