Indeed, all praise and thanks is due to
Allah, the
lord of the worlds.
And may the peace and blessings of Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala
be upon his final messenger, Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam.
My dear brothers and sisters in Islam, I
want to concentrate and focus
On 3 verses
in the book of Allah
And
these three verses
are a great encouragement and reminder to us
all
about the journey
that we are all upon.
And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala reminds us
about the great blessings
that are in store for the believers.
So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us in
That verily those who say Allah is
our Lord
and they remain steadfast upon that.
That angels will descend upon them
at the time of death,
telling them and saying to them, fear not
nor have any grief.
But receive the glad tidings of the paradise
which you have been promised.
We have been your supporters, meaning the Malaika.
We have been your supporters and your friends
in this worldly life,
and so we will continue
to be in the hereafter.
Therein, I. E. The paradise,
you shall have anything that you desire
and anything that you ask for.
That this indeed is an accommodation,
a gift
from the all forgiving,
the most merciful.
So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us in
the journey that we are on.
As we have all said,
That I am pleased with Allah as my
lord.
I am pleased
that I submit myself
to my lord Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
The one
The one who is in his hand, the
entire dominion.
That no
leaf falls from this from the tree.
No fish
swims through the sea in the deepest depths
of the sea.
Except that Allah
decreed
and commanded that. That nothing happens except by
Allah's permission.
Whatever you see in front of you,
this is by Allah's permission.
That you submit to the one
who is in control of everything.
That you will only fulfill what Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala has commanded
And stay away from that what he has
prohibited
in a way and in a fashion
that our beloved Nabi salallahu alaihi wasallam taught
us.
That every prayer that we make we remind
ourselves of this submission.
That you alone we worship,
and you alone we seek aid.
That your salah your
prayer is not valid
unless
you say these verses
in every single unit
of your prayer.
That it is not for the believing man
or woman that if Allah
decrees a matter that we have any choice
in the matter.
That we say we have heard
and we obey.
And that whoever disobeys Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
and his messenger alayhi salatu wa sallam
Indeed that they have gone afar
and great misguidance.
Whatever Allah has commanded us you're not looking
for a way out, you're not looking for
a shortcut.
But as you know that you are following
the most perfect way
to live your life,
that there is no other way, there is
no other life that you desire.
Reminding yourself
that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said and revealed
on the day of Arafah
to our beloved Nabi Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam.
That Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala reveal that today
I have completed
your deen.
And completed my favor upon you
and named Islam
as your religion,
your way of life.
How you will submit to Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala.
Those who
say
and then they remain firm upon that.
That this is
not based upon your shahawat,
is not based upon how you want this
istikhama, Tebih.
That you will remain firm and upright as
you have been commanded.
Ibadullah.
The servants of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. This
is how you will remain
upon the straight path.
And we know that our beloved Nabi salallahu
alaihi wa sallam described to us this
this straight path in that he drew a
line in the ground.
A straight line in the sand. And on
on either side that there were other lines
that they were drawn.
And at the other or the end of
each each of these lines there was a
a caller, a shaitan
taking you away from the path of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
So we know that the way to Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
is as Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala commanded us.
So you go through
all of these tests and trials.
You try to remain upright.
The times that you made dua,
the trials, the tribulations, you had trust in
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
you turned back to him Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
you made dua.
This was the journey that you went through
throughout your whole life.
And then at the moment of death,
when your soul is to be taken,
where there may be great regret,
There may be a state of fear that
you are all in.
That Allah
gives a great blessing to the believers.
And what is that blessing? The angels will
descend upon them.
That do not be afraid
and do not be sad.
That do not be afraid of that what
is in the future.
And do not be sad about that what
is in the past.
At that time you will
you will realize, you will grasp
the sacrifice that you made.
The trials and the tribulations,
the patience that you demonstrated.
But all of it,
insha'Allah,
was all worth it.
The times it was so easy to commit
the Haram.
The times it was easy to to have
a shortcut.
Nobody else would know that you have engaged
in something that is pleasing to Allah except
Allah. But you remembered that. And the sacrifices
that you made, the trials and tribulations
that you that you went through, all of
them suddenly,
they become so insignificant.
They become so insignificant,
why? Because the reality about the journey
of our lives, of our existence,
The reality is about to be brought forth
without any doubt.
The life of the grave,
the things that we read about in the
book of Allah,
all of that will become
an absolute reality.
The shaitan on this journey in your life
will try to take you away from that.
And this is why Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
warns us.
And do not follow the footsteps.
Do not follow the footsteps of the Shaitan.
That he is indeed to you and I,
a clear and present enemy.
So when you say that Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala is your Lord and you remain firm
upon that, that the believers they will have
this great blessing
at the time of their death.
Not only that,
that they will be reminded.
That they were they were your auliya,
and that they were your helpers
in this life.
As also that they will be in the
hereafter.
And we ask
Allah to make us from them.
So
Allah
That the angels who are supporting you and
helping you in this life, you may ask
how.
Because this is the reminder, this is what
the 'Amal Elaikah, the angels will say to
you.
We were there to help you. We were
there to protect you.
When you recited Ayatul Kursi before you slept,
That you had the protection of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala before you slept. The angels were
sent to protect you.
The nafaqaw, the sadaqat, the charity that you
gave, that the malaika, they made du'a for
you.
That sick person that you visited,
70,000
of them asking Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to
forgive
you until you returned home.
The or
the circles of knowledge that you attended in
the masjid.
The time that you spent after salah making
the dhikr and the dua to Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala. The malaikr there.
Having their wings over you.
Asking Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to have mercy
upon you. All of which maybe, we don't
think about too often. You made dua for
your brother, for your sister. And the malaikha
is saying
And that to you for the same, for
that what you asked for your brother or
your sister,
let you have that as well.
This is how they supported us by Allah's
permission in this life.
And in the hereafter,
that they will intercede, they will plead
on the believers' behalf.
They will be a witness to the good
deeds that you and I, that we did
in this life.
They will plead to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
for you to not go, not to go
to the hellfire,
but to go to the
To go to the paradise.
You will have everything that you wish for.
And you will have everything that you desire.
This
this gift, this accommodation,
this beautiful thing that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
grants to the believers
is from who?
From Al Ghafoor.
From Al Raheem.
The one who forgives and forgave all of
your sins.
And who is Rahim.
That special mercy
to the believers.
And as a reminder,
subhanAllah,
that you and I will only attain
and be from the people of paradise, not
through your actions, not through your
and through your sabr and whatnot, your deeds.
No.
But a person will only attain the jannah
through the mercy of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
And this is as
An Nabi alaihis salatu wa sallam said.
That none of you will earn or go
to the paradise
through their actions.
Even you, O Messenger of Allah SallAllahu Alaihi
Wasallam.
And then our Nabi salallahu alaihi wa sallam
said
Even me that I need Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala's mercy to envelope me, to cover me
through his grace and through his mercy.
So So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala reminds us
that the
to achieve the paradise will ultimately be through
the mercy of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and
His blessings.
And that we ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
that He has mercy upon us and that
he grants us those blessings so that we
can be from those people.
And remember,
that life
will be full of tests and tribulations.
But remember
that you are pleased with Allah as your
Lord.
And that you are happy as with Islam
as your religion, your way of life. Will
be Muhammad
as your messenger.
You wouldn't want to have it any other
way. Because there is no there is no
happiness.
There is no salvation
except
worshiping Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and following our
beloved Nabi Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
Straighten the lines for the gaps.
