Subraman That doesn't in goosebumps, do you? I don't know
what would our yes, indeed today, focusing on the seed of the
Prophet, the journey to change the life and teachings of Allah.
Muhammad SAW and center of the Islamic faith, and his mission was
to guide humanity towards a path of righteousness and submission to
the One God only, Allah. It is the special segment will be explored
to transform, transformative changes that occurs as a result of
his prophethood. Subhan Allah Our very esteemed guest, and always an
honor to be in his company, subhanAllah, that is known in our
sim index. And today we delve in the topic of immense significance
in the world of Islam, the profound changes that the Prophet
Muhammad, peace and blessings upon him, had brought about after
receiving the divine revelation. Uthman as a wahi, and as we all
know, Malana is Imam at Mashi tuba and Panorama, and the founder and
principal of the director folk Institute as well. That is the
preschool the school and the Hafiz school as well. And if you are
tuned in today, you can also go onto YouTube and listen or watch
live at panorama. Masjid, Inshallah, that is panorama.
Masjid Malina, always an honor to be in your company, subhanAllah,
your good self and your team. Assalamu alaikum or Rahab to be 11
to Asia. It's so good to be back in the studio, especially with
some someone, especially.
I forgot to mention, my mom is actually by me now. I've been six
days away, and my mommy came to look at after the kids,
Alhamdulillah, so she's also here listening. Alhamdulillah. She'll
be happy that I spend my time at the radio family,
and also to the listeners, Assalamu alaikum. I think it's a
very important topic that we're touching on today. And I think
whenever we speak about the Prophet sallallahu, sallam, it
brings about that goosebumps. What has experienced this life is
journey Subhan Allah, and how we aim even until today, and I think
even beyond us, and no beyond us, our Austrian will be doing the
very same, perhaps more intense, wahan Allah. That is what we wish
for them, you know. And being in the month of Rabbi lewas wahan
Allah, what best person to speak to which I will send as rahmat Ali
RAla, means and mentioned that I it's like a picture that came in
front of myself seeing him. So, Allah Sallam coming into this
world, you know. And we will discuss what transpired at that
moment. And then the topic today is actually what transpired after
prophethood, you know. So, so how much change the prophet Ali salad
was brought in society. You know how communities should live,
should live their lives. And also the most important thing and
factor that we should take heed of is how each and everyone will be
successful in following his way of life. SubhanAllah. This is so
amazing about and then I'm getting goosebumps, because just awaiting
that, you know, it's the 11th of Rabbi over tonight, madrib time,
it will be the 12th of Rabbi.
Amina Salam, the mother of Rasulullah, now expecting, you
know, and as we know, she didn't know she's going to give birth
because this was a miracle. Birth, No. Birth pains. Nothing was felt,
no like we're saying morning sickness throughout pregnancy,
nothing, just Allah subhanahu wa salam to be born as majority of
scholars mentioned the 12th of a one, and here we are waiting that
mountain. What change are we going to bring about in our lives?
Because it came to change the world is the light of society, the
light of humanity, whether you know it or whether you don't know
it, whether you are a Muslim or not a Muslim, read about him,
sallAllahu, sallam, I guarantee, and I challenge anybody out if you
read about his lifestyle, if you read about this personality called
Muhammad Salla and a decent blessing to be upon you, he will
definitely, most definitely, have an impact on your life. And you
can be of those who are against him. But if you are true, truthful
to yourself, and reading about his lifestyle and how he conducted
himself and how he only hoped for good, not for Muslims, he hoped
for good for humanity from each time until the end of time, and
that's why Allah subhanahu wa, the true God of the worlds. He
mentions that Wama salamatan, not lean Muslim rahamatan, he is a
mercy to the worlds. So if you really want tranquility in your.
Life if you want to achieve happy, because why don't we strive for
foundation? We want to be happy, but you can never, ever, ever be
happy in this world. It's impossible, but you can find and
ask Allah subhanaw taala to grant you, as Allah says, We want the
satisfaction of the heart. We won't be happy. You will never be
completely happy in this life, because happiness is it's a
waiting it's in Lambo. We first need to close our eyes. Need to
gaze at Allah, need to be questioned by Allah subhanahu wa.
And then you know it is rated either we will either be rated
successful or unsuccessful. If we manage be in the light of our
quotation with Allah's Will inshaAllah to be successful, then
you will experience through happiness. But for now, we will be
satisfied only with tatsma, Hindu Guru, the contentment of the
heart. And that's what we need to ask for. Inshallah. Amen.
Inshallah. It is so amazing that we are so grateful that we are
born in this beautiful dean of Islam. But when you listen to
people who reverts to Islam, we see you listen to this stories, it
brings you goosebumps when people say, you know, I have read the
Quran, and I at the end of it, I didn't, I didn't read it to
embrace Islam. I read it because I just wanted to know what this
religion is all about, that everybody speaks about, that the
world is against, and I am one who is against this religion of Islam.
So I want to know what it is all about. And then at the end of it,
the person says, I believe in the one through Allah. And he and he
put the book away, he put the Quran away, and he says, Learn,
Bill. It falls down, and it opens where Allah says that it's not
your eyes that are closed, it's your heart that is close. To open
your heart. You don't see with your eyes, you see with your
hearts. And he says, For me, it's just to say that the prophet is
the final messenger. And when I'm a true Muslims
ruin the Aisha. There's so many rivers, you know, especially in
our area, I think everybody knows that we come from an area whereby,
you know, there was dominance from one race over another. But
strangely, today, in the Asia, it is that dominant race of
yesteryear that is trying to find out more about Islam. You know, we
we would always, and I see people still make, you know, the
narrative is still out there that, you know, people yearn for Islam
in the townships. No just change the narrative. People yearn for
Islam everywhere, you know, it's just how we conduct ourselves, as
believers, as Muslims, as followers of Muhammad Sallallahu.
Aisha mentioned is, I always say, and I always give the gift of the
Quran to a non Muslim. I say, read the Quran, you know. And lo and
behold, I actually met a pastor, and he told me, please don't ask
me to read that book. I said, why? He said, he said this. This was
his own words. I fear that if I'm going to read it, then I'm going
to believe in it. So I said, and you know, Alhamdulillah, Allah
placed it in my heart to say this, I would rather prefer to lie to
humanity about what the truth are. Because it seems to me that you
know what's the truth, but you rather prefer to lie. So he said,
I never thought of it like that. And he said, Please give me one.
And as I gave him one, we can't stop chatting. Now, Masha, Allah,
May Allah guide. You know all of those hearts that yearn for Allah,
these messengers of Allah sometimes. You know, as Allah
mentioned, Allah Abu Salahi Mala, Allah subhanho wa Taala is the one
that put seals on the heart and on the ears and on the eyes.
Subhanallah, but Allah also is the one that spread guidance and the
one that gives a hidaya to humanity. And we play a role in
that. How we conduct ourselves. Giving dawah is not as Allah is
very clear Jala jalalawi in the Quran, when he mentions that, like
rafidi, there's no compulsion in religion. It's not your duty to
turn people to Muslims, right? It is my duty to do that. What you
need to do is bang lil is just to convey the message. So this is
where Allah, Subhanahu, WA it's a command from Allah, go and call
people to the One God, Allah. So each and every one of us are
dying. It's we are Dari. We have Sahaba was the ambiya with us.
Sahaba was it. And sometimes we feel that when we say prophets, it
was their duty. No, they called to Allah, as the Prophet saw was
the the greatest of diaries. He was as Allah calls him, Dari and
illAllah. He was a caller to Allah, and us being the followers
of the greatest caller to Allah, we need to emulate him in that.
And we need to call people because it is we need to look at it like
this entire it is their Haqq to hear the truth. It's not it's not
about us. It's about them that don't know the truth. It is their
Haqq upon us because, well, why was going to happen today? Of the
amateras, they are going to come and say Allah. Waseem. Didn't tell
me anything about this name, and I was deep. I lived literally next
to him. I lived in his community, but I didn't hear nothing from
him. Why are we going to
answer to Allah? He had a concern for humanity.
His beloved wife, Aisha ra mentions that when he closed his
eyes at night, his chest used to Subhanallah assent and descent and
the sound of a kettle, a boiling kettle, came from Rasulullah
Sallam as he breathed, and this is an indication of his worrying
concern for his umbrella. Are we not worried about the ummah? We're
only worried about ourselves. We are so selfish, so Allah. I think
what we need to become is selfless, giving up everything for
the sake of Allah and the the greatest fear that humankind have
today, anti Aisha is wealth. And strangely, that's why I say this
is a challenge for everyone. Read about Prophet Muhammad, peace and
blessings. He said that I fear one thing for my nation. And many of
us would say, What did the Prophet fear for his nation? He could have
said, they're going to become Darius salah. They're going to
leave salah. You could have said that, And subhanAllah Allah, allow
us to be of those who preserve our salah, because many of the of the
true believers today don't make salah. They don't wake up for
Fajr. Allah protect us and Allah guide us. But there's one thing
that he saw Sam so he didn't say, don't they don't fast in Ramadan.
Then we know, you know, many fast and many don't fast. And then he
didn't say, those who go for Hajj, you don't go for Hajj today, the
discussion you should be go because of Saudi because of when a
ruler, we must stay away from this. You know, the main thing is,
What did his Allah do? And what was his fear for us? His fear was
that this ummah will be infatuated with the wealth of this world, and
that will be a cause of their destruction. La ilaha, illAllah.
Look at life today. Where is the focus of every human being? I
mean, we are Muslim, we are mukmin, but
the most important things in our lives, first And subhanAllah, so
sad the lives of our children is how successful they can be in this
life. That is, that is something that we really need to change. You
know, we need to change our tone, because Allah promised, the one
that looks after my Deen, the one that is conscious of me, Allah, I
open up the way for you. Sahaba had nothing against they lived in
the desert, you know, but because of the consciousness of Allah,
Allah made them the most rich people in the world. And when I
say most rich, I'm not saying literally only with wealth, with
iman, you know, with the gift that Allah has given him in this life.
Radi Allahu and Allah was pleased the pleasure of Allah. There you
see. How come we are we are steering away from this. How come
we don't understand the reality, and I think up until such a time
that we understand the reality of that deen is more important than
anything else, because religiosity are being challenged everywhere
today. You know? I mean, if you look at it, am I a man? Am I not?
Am I? Am I supposed to be a man. Oh, my hormones all this, it could
have just been wiped out by just believing in Allah and following
the message of all prophets. But especially the final messenger
said, No, Muhammad, sallAllahu, send them. So if we do this, life
will be so easy for us, SubhanAllah. But the strange thing
is this, that fear that shaytan plays within us, because he's the
one that always you know was in our ears and what he was busy in
our ears. And he says that if you're going to do this, you're
going to lose out in life, you're going to lose your business,
you're going to lose your family, your wife is not going to stand
with you. All these things are being bombarded at us as a
society. But why is it because of weak faith, because of weak Iran
in Allah, if you strengthen your Imaan. Inshallah, this is also in
the talk today, then one hand span towards Allah. Allah, give 10
handspans, and he will move towards you. Walk towards Allah
towards you. Where do we want Allah in our life, distance or
very near? That is the question SubhanAllah. And I think the
answer is, you know, a territorical question. We know
what the answer is. You know, we want Allah close to us. You know,
because Allah is the one. Is our jeresh is our narration, is our
Creator, is our sustainers, our provider is
Allah. Once we have Allah, the story about the king Subhanallah
and his army and his community, whereby he said that you have a
certain amount of time to go out and take anything from my kingdom,
whatever your heart desire, take it and it will be yours. And
subhanAllah, it was a jeep. Everybody went bonkers, you know,
they ran. Some people hold on to the castle of the king. Some
people hold on to his wealth. Some people hold on to, you know, the
farm yards and whatever they want. And this one youngster stood up,
and he just hold on to the king. He just hold up to the king. King
said, hey, you need to go. You need to find he said, what I want.
I have what I want, you know. And at the end, mashallah, everybody
came, what did you get? What everybody gave me? He asked a
little strange little boy, hold on to me. Let us hear what he has. He
say, once I have the king.
So we have the King of kings, Allah. If we have Allah, we have
everything Subhan, Allah, but we are challenged. Indeed, beautiful.
Not you going to ask Thomas, do stay tuned, because we speak about
the change of the wahi.
That is the change of the revelations that you stay tuned.
It must be panorama, the founder and principal of the Folk
Institute, and to our listeners, tune in. You can watch live on
YouTube, and that is at the panorama Masjid. Stay tuned now,
once again, a warm welcome to your good self, and it's always nice to
listen, you know to your wisdom. Subhanallah, him Abu Asmaa, do
Salim Allahu Aisha, for that beautiful comment, may Allah allow
us you know the DUA and everybody else are doing granting Asmaa and
wisdom. Because, as the Arabic statement goes to mean, very
sadly, it mentions that wisdom is the Lost commodity of the Muslims
today. But if we look at our predecessors of yesteryear,
Allahu, Akbar, what they've achieved, what Allah subhanhola
gifted them, unfortunately, today, you know, we have some people
that's with us today. They live among us. They kill us our elders
for what they have done and brought forth. I think that's a
lack of understanding, you know,
for for mentioning things like, and also we're following this
mentions very, very clearly that
Lata supulma,
so whether you did or like the Prophet Sam said, Do not curse
those who are deceased, who passed on to the next life. Don't speak
ill about it, because you're going to follow Be very careful. You are
the one today that speaks ill of those who close their eyes
tomorrow, somebody comes and He will speak ill of you as well. So
may Allah protect us from that and then and those, while I don't harm
them, don't speak harsh to them if you disagree, like I shared a nice
discussion. Now, disagree of something doesn't mean we need to
disrespect each other. Disagree in a manner which is and good, good
good faith, and also have good will for the next person.
The two scholars remember chef A and one of his contemporary
scholars that lived with him, I just slipped my mind. Now he was
they were sitting, and they actually came together in debate,
and they were going to debate. Now, who's right and who's wrong?
It's quite a lengthy story, but to come to the crux of the matter is
that at the end, then Subhanallah the one told the other one, masha
Allah, You know what, I was sitting with you and you were, you
know, giving you all your adilah and your proofs and everything,
and full heartedly from my heart, I think that you are right. And he
looked he said, No. How can you say that? He's like, I'm saying
right? He said, No, full heartedly from my heart, I'm telling you
that you are right, you know. And at the end, when they discussed,
what is this about? They said that the moment that they came to sit
with each other, and they were now going to compete, compete, you
know, because it's a debate, you're right or you're wrong, and
the one that is wrong, you will follow my way. And if you're
right, I need to follow your way. That's how it was. And they said,
the intent that they came to sit with me was not because I want to
now put my brother in the ground with the proofs that I'm going to
give him the proof to him how wrong he is. But rather the
intention was, Oh Allah, opened my heart that I can see the through
the mouth of my brother.
Allah opened my heart. You know that was true brotherhood. That
was truly not for their sake. It was for the sake of Islam, for the
sake of deen and how Deen can prosper. And look at this, two
scholars, great scholars, coming together. What is wrong in society
today? Into Asia, we have toxic toxins within ourselves that we
need to deal with. Because I feel that I'm a greater scholar than
the next one, and I want to prove to them how wrong they are and how
right I am, and it's either my way or the highway when I ought to be
like this is not the way of Islam. This is not the way of our
predecessor. This is not the way the Prophet Muhammad, he had so
much love for humanity in his heart that he wished for everyone
to be successful. And that journey has been transferred over to us.
We need to see, you know, the same Subhanallah, so, so what really
transpired of the Prophet was, I think the first thing we need to
give, you, know, attention to his belief.
Belief, right? Yusuf salaam came at a time when they were idol
worshippers. People believed in idols.
The idols of the time of the Prophet sallallahu was four main
ones, lat manad, Uzi, you know, these were the idols that were
worshiped SubhanAllah. And we know the story of our predecessor, what
he has achieved, and what did he do? Did he harm his society in any
way? Did he tell them you are doomed? You are helped? No. He in
a manner also where Allah, SubhanAllah guided him, Alisha.
And through this, he became Allah. How he had to interact with his
society, you know, how he didn't want to hurt their feelings, but
when he did something practical, I'll take the x, I'll chop off all
the idols, the main idol, I'll keep and I'll put the AX around
his neck. Why? Because you need to see you know, what you guys are
doing is not right. It's impossible. There's no they can't
even speak for themselves. You.
And the hekma and the wisdom that came from these ambiya and this is
the way that we need to address things. We address things today
with emotion. Because I feel that I'm writing you. Taqfiri Waka,
fear, Allah, protect us from this. I want for my brother to be
successful. I want to be successful. How can I feel for
about a on top of that, I'm actually mentioning that my
brother is a cafe. Rama Allah protect us from that. The one, the
one statement of the Prophet al Asmaa, mentioned that the one that
mentions that the other one is cafe. If there's a situation that
then most definitely, then one of them is a cafe. So you must worry
when you say that, because it might just be you. So rather stay
away from mentioning the word of TAFE and kafir and this. Rather
say we have our differences, my brother and as you and strangely
so we know that the other brother has proof. We think whatever you
feel that proof is, he's got proof. I've got proof.
Alhamdulillah. So alhamdulillah, allow this tolerance, this tasama
I tolerate because he's my brother. He's following his way.
Masha Allah, but if I feel that I need to have an influence on him,
let us educate ourselves. Let me now sit with his brother and maybe
I'll find something. Oh, somehow I didn't know about that, then my
life might change. I'm not saying maybe you're going to become
because I think normally today, when we speak about things, the
one is going to say he wanted to make me a Sufi, or he wants to
make me a tabri, the when I want to be like these, these titles, we
need to, we need to, we need to get rid of the tags
that comes with it. And we have Muslim you know, we all want good
for each other. If you don't want good for somebody else, know that
you're in the wrong path. And if somebody tells you that somebody
else are bad. Move away from that person, you know, because that is
not good for you. What needs to happen is, let us look for
solutions. How can we make society better? That's important. Belief
number one is the Prophet Muhammad came and he said, Believe in Laila
illallah, Muhammad Rasulullah. You know, he moved people from being
polytheist into becoming mountain list. Now we have a focus. Our
focal point is Allah, and number two will be connected to number
one, which is, which is worship, worship the one being and depend
only on him, because Allah subhanahu wa is very clear. When
Allah subhanahu wa mentions that
I have created mankind and jinn only for one purpose. You know, if
our purpose are anything besides this thing, obviously we need to
come back to the righteous part, and that is worshiping Allah
alone. Now the focus on the word alone Allah is the only one. We
need to put total dependence only on Allah and nothing else. And the
only way that we can find this today, right? I've spoken about
this in the past, is sometimes some people have the idea that
Islam is they only believe in the Prophet Muhammad, and nobody prior
to him. But if you look at Sharia, how the law came about from the
time of the first man to Muhammad, saw, you would see there's
absolutely nothing wrong accepting the messengers of Asana as the
final messenger, because as Ibrahim Abraham came, what
happened? He had a set of laws that were sent to him. Society in
Masha Allah there to abide by that, and those who abide by it in
that time, they were the successful ones, and those who
didn't, they were unsuccessful ones. And then after that, let's
make an example of Musa came Nabi. Musa Ali Salatu was and he came
with a set of laws. But did he abolish the laws of the laws of
Ibrahim? No, he followed the middle of Ibrahim. Alaihi. Salatu
was ALLAH, added certain laws for him, maybe abrogated certain laws.
Why? Because society was different. So many new things came
about. The 10 Commandments was given to him. Now, the Sukh was
given to Ibrahim alaislam, and then the merisa came, and then
mashaAllah Injeel, Allah, subhanaw taala, the Sharia Musa was totally
absconded. Is No. God is no longer exists. No, it was still the end.
That's why we still speak about the 10 Commandments. Today, we
still speak about the Sukh of Ibrahim alaislam. Today we still
speak about the Torah of Nabi Dawood, Al Asmaa, Islam today, and
we still speak about the Injeel, the Bible as as we know it, that
is came with but the Sharia of Israel was indefinitely to Musa,
although all the laws were still applied, but changed and altered
in order for society to grow in
the different that happened? No, now in his time, the only
difference is now you don't come to a only a people. Only the Arabs
know Allah mean. Now I'm sending you as my final messenger for all
times now. And why? Why is it so difficult to accept that I
understand sometimes we hold on to something. Why? Because, you know,
you know, as our forefathers believed, we want to do that, and
that happened in the time of the messages as well. But those who
opened up their eyes for truth and for Haqq, once they did this, they
understood that there's nothing different that we really do.
What of predecessors and forefathers done? Because the
Sharia is the same. It's just we need to all we living in different
society.
Simple. There's mycological example for us today smoking, and
people have to smoke. Allah protect us, everyone from smoking.
But if I'm going to tell him now the prophets and say that smoking
is haram, you know, there's going to be a debate, but there was no
Rotman smiled. I don't know what the people in the time of the
Prophet, how you can say, This isn't my brother. Let's think
about it. The Sharia is the Sharia tells you that Guru, Muhammad, for
example, if you toxic in this, don't harm yourself and don't harm
those around you. Now, mashallah, you need to obviously make now
that analogy that, oh no, this everything together. That is why
smoking is not good for me today. So I need to abstain from this
because of what the Prophet SAW said. So the Sharia remain the
same, but it's just as time progressed, we now need to make
ADA. This is how Sharia was, and this is how it conformed to our
time today. And may Allah grant us understanding worshiping Allah
subhanahu wa taala is not something that is small. It is a
command from Allah subhanahu wa Firstly, it is the Prophet
Muhammad. Believe in Allah, in His messenger. Secondly, worshiping.
And then third, very important, and this is appointed Inshallah,
we're going to discuss education and instruction.
Just do stay tuned.
Assalamu alaikum. Indeed. A warm welcome. Our final segment with
our esteemed and honorable imam of the masjid, majitova of the
panorama masjid, and the founder and principal of the Folk
Institute, if you are tuned into the voice of the kid, and also you
can go onto YouTube and you can live stream at the panorama Masjid
inshallah. We've spoken about, you know, when the Prophet came, the
the divine revelation, and what happened after he spoke about
belief in Allah Alone, and the worship, obviously, in education,
which is very important that you've just touched on. And so we
said Little over there, Allah inshallah. Yes. So, so education
and instruction, is very important. If you think about we,
we everything started, you know, it was this Masha Allah, beautiful
human being
that Allah subhanaw taala is favored with wahi ko Muhammad sub
Allah Ali wa salam. And he yearned that, you know, he saw what
happened in your society, he wasn't happy. Similarly to us, we
are seeing today, what is happening in our society. Are we
happy? Look at the life of Muhammad. How did change come
about? And sometimes we feel that, what am I going to do? I'm one
person. Look at the life of Muhammad Allah. He was this one
that wished well for others. He was known for being side. He was
known for being an Ameen. Everybody trusted him. Everybody
loved him as a young individual. Up until an adolescence, he became
an adult, and they still loved him, and they entrusted the entire
wealth with him. They entrusted him with the personal affairs, you
know, private matters. They they entrusted him with this, and then
he was just not happy with society. Why? Because in that
time, you know, time of jahiliya, as we know it, Arabs, the
customers, if a baby girl is being born, they must be buried alive.
Why? Because it brings, you know, when you go to disrespect to a
family, if it's a son, they were very happy how they treated their
women, women folk of the time. It was terrible Subhanallah, and he
was just not happy with society. And he took it upon himself. Go to
the cave of Hira. I am skipping the latia SubhanAllah. Many to
Khadija, how the marriage came about. All those things,
subhanAllah, but he landed up in the gate of hellfer. And now, what
happened? Now, Allah, Subhanahu wa change. And this change happens
Subhanallah, and will always Allah. We can be proud calling
ourselves Muslims today. You know, last week we spoke about the
birth. Was born, and I don't think there was a happier occasion than
that whereby so many things transpired at that time. But here
the first command it was given to himself, as Jibreel salaam was
saying by Allah subhanahu wa to tell him, Muhammad, today, you are
being made a prophet of Allah. And
he was shocked, because imagine, he don't seem to be reading the
form that is, you know, a man or a form of a human being. Allah says
you will have to come to him in a form and a shape. It is true,
which is Asana. It is true shape.
Allah does best. How huge a man is. We can only hear that his one
win covers the entire west and east, you know. So how he's got
how many wins? Some say 300 on the one side and three and some say
600 on the one side. So we can only imagine how huge this being
is in front of him, telling him, now first thing, educate yourself.
Read.
Education is important. You need to know about your Allah. And
Allah is very clear what this Allah, Subhanahu says that Allah
tujen, we spoke about, first of all, belief. Allah said, Can you
worshiping Allah, that Allah created us? And in abuelam, Abbas
raisin, you know, the head of the mufari, he mentions that
getting
to know and acknowledge Allah subhanaw taala is important,
because I think the main focus and problem today that we have is that
we are worshiping a being that we don't truly know.
And I actually spoke to the people was waved to Durban for a few
days, and I spoke to them. You know, I said the challenge I put
around is who is bold enough to stand now and speak for five
minutes about Allah? Just five minutes and
everybody became silent today.
The reaction should be me. I am waiting when I speak about my God,
Allah. And then the one you know, person you know, there's always a
challenge I put out for my students as well. They stand up
and they say, Allah is the Creator. Allah is a sustainer.
Allah, Allah, all seem, Allah is the One who created the trees. I'm
looking and I say, that is the Allah that you worship. That's all
you know about your Allah, and he's the Allah.
That is why we will find flaws in our worship, because the
connection with Allah is not strong enough in order to know
that this is the Creator of mankind. This is the one that
gives me the ability to open my eyes every day that I that can
still blink and don't become dry in order for me not to be able to
see there's Allah that give me the limbs I can bring the food to my
mouth. Is Allah that give me five different seeds I plant under the
same ground water, but different fruits come from me. Roses come
from it. You know, whatever line plants, whatever colors are
different. Allahu Akbar. This is the greatness of your Lord, Allah.
Subhanahu wa, subhana
wa, give food to different animals, but what comes from the
animal? Total different. You find a buck. You'll see whatever comes
from there. You'll find a cow. You'll see that will come from
there. But cut open the stomachs of these animals, subhanAllah,
this is the Greek creator that we are talking about. And all that we
have to say is, is the only healing is the whole SEER
SubhanAllah. There are so many things that we can, you know,
connect with Allah. Subhanahu wa has given me oxygen that Allah has
given us just the gift of going to the levity all those things. This
is our Lord, Allah. This is the greatness of Allah. We didn't even
touch the base. We don't know when we speak when Allah, Allah Himself
mentions that the oceans will not be enough for you. Where do we
fall into this category when it comes to educating ourselves about
Allah, knowing Allah and everyone to worship Allah, Subhanahu, and
there will be more bias than everyone also, because I am five
times a day in the masjid. But is there any substance and essence to
our worship. I'm not saying that I'm bitter or anybody else is
bitter. This is just for us to introspect, because Allah
mentioned Quran. You know, are you not partnering in this? Words of
Allah, I say that you must worship me. How do we worship Allah? We
are our only goal in society today is to put others down.
How is that part of Allah's desire for us, only cause them today is
to prove that other parties right, Ram and I'm right, and all parties
is this truly what Muhammad SAW them came with. Educate yourself,
because Allah is the one that taught Muhammad SAW. Allah is the
one it made it possible for this nation to have survived from that
time till now. And I mean, I don't want to speak about Muslims. Look
at the write ups of non Muslims about Muhammad. You know, they
will make us shy, because we can't even speak about our messenger the
way that the non Muslims are speaking about him, how they put
him on a pedestal, how they would mention this was a man when he
came, when it came to politics, he was the most just in politics.
When it came to how to treat mankind, He was the most just in
that, how it came to who is the most influential person on earth
today. And I mean, he took a great knock when it said this, because
he is not a Muslim, you know, his own creed of belief that similar
to his belief, they started to reject Him. This is what they and
they are not they are not Muslim, but they willing to take that, not
to say no, but Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. And they
mentioned this, peace and blessings be upon him. He made a
huge difference in society. You know, there is a nation from that
until today that will give their life for him, who's mentioning
this? Non Muslims? Gandhi mentioned this. You know, Mahatma
Gandhi, the great Hindu scholar, you know, why don't we read up on
these things? How can we can't say this great things about Abu, non
Muslims, Allah. Don't give them hidals. Yeah, we have hidai. We
have La Ilaha, illAllah. We have.
How come we can see the light this very, very, very, very strict
advice that I'm giving Allah mission just says that, you know,
if we think that we are something today, and you know, it's because
of us that things are happening, be careful. Because he saw his own
words. He said that in Allah, that surely And verily. And he makes
emphasis. He said that in Allah, surely Allah subhanahu, you
ayiduhad, Deen, will help and assist this. Deen of Allah
subhanahu wa people that are transgressing Allah subhanho wa
Taala laws every day, Allah will utilize them to aid Allah subhanho
wa taala. Deen, and if you really think about it today, we need to
ask, is it not happening today? Because sometimes we look at
things that's happening in the world as this guy, he's he's crazy
what he's doing, but through the craziness of that person, Allah
gives hidaya, everybody else, I can't follow a guy that thinks
like this to us. We see, oh, this guy is a is making a mock of
himself. But through that mocking of himself, Allah use him to make,
you know, nations and tribes become Muslim because of that
guy's error. But that's how Allah aids, Allah is deemed through the
life of a transgressor and a disbeliever in Allah subhanahu wa.
So don't think that. You know we are needed. We are not needed. You
know we are only blessed by Allah, Subhanahu wa Iman and with faith
so educate ourselves. Go. The Prophet SAW is very clear when he
says that,
to level a real Muslim, ima, that every believer and Muslim, male
and female, it's incumbent upon them to go and search for
knowledge. Because today, you know, Google is mashallah, it's
free for everyone you know, YouTube videos everything. So I
want to caution ourselves that when we listen, even if it is a
scholar of Deen that discuss things on YouTube, verify certain
things with that scholar. Because sometimes things are mentioned in
a context, you know, it doesn't mean, really, for something else
that was just bench it in the context of the discussion that the
scholar has mentioned, and then we mashallah feels that we are
qualified enough. We will take that and we will not go and
challenge the ulama of today. We will go challenge anybody of
today, because this particular scholar I found, but if I promise,
and I mentioned this also to the scholars when I was away for this
break. Now, I mentioned to them that the problem that we feel,
that we find today is the scholars. They are fine. They they
are willing to sit by each other's feet and try to solve issues. But
what is the problem is, is the students of that scholars that
comes about and they start creating chaos in society rather
be, you know, the person that verifies the information going to
describe, I would say, What do you mean by this? You know, because I
understand it like this. And then mashallah, your understanding can
either be altered to the correct way, or maybe you were right, and
the scholar might have made it, because we are not invincible as
scholars also, we might have made a mistake in what we have
mentioned, and then we can verify it. So Allah blesses. Allah grant
us to be true in belief in Allah, Subhanahu wa and then also may
Allah allow us to educate ourselves. Inshallah, to become of
those will be a benefit to society inshallah. There was much more
that I wanted
to say, Allah, everybody else, inshallah. Inshallah, just in a
few seconds before you create your program for this evening
mashallah, we we welcome everyone to that to majiduba inshallah in
the northern panorama, we have a jam packed, beautiful program that
will be Kira, that will be obviously the mawali, some
recitations of she that will be done. And then I talk about
Salawat that we cannot leave behind. Whenever we speak about
him, we smile and and we are joyful and happy, because Allah
mentions about this in the Quran, right, that Allah says that Fahim,
you, you must be, you must now become falia For who show joy and
happiness, for the occasion of the birth of the Messenger of the
greatest of creation, of all time, and Allah allow us to benefit
inshallah. I mean, I mean, I mean, so much. I will grant you lots of
barakah in your time, and also a long life inshallah in the path of
Allah, and to empower all of us always amen for that said, Happy
Birthday to our Little ones, and show myself Aisha and assalamu,
Alaikum, salaam,
