As Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah.
The government for maintaining the spirit ladies, gentlemen, let us continue talking about nurturing the young generation. Before I invite the next speaker, it is gentlemen, just a little bit of sharing. I am so proud of my daughter where she is able to achieve it as in her up que que is a kind of Islamic examination for those studying in primary five. And I'm proud of my daughter, she is able to achieve Montez in her examination as well when she is in her primary six. But one thing that I didn't expect that is that other than learning this Arabic language, so on and so forth, learning about su Deen learning about Sierra, learning about faith and everything else. I didn't expect her
to be able to speak in Korea. She can speak Korean ladies gentleman, and one of the main reasons is that it's because of this k pop culture. What I'm telling you that the challenge nowadays, whether we like it or not, it is gentlemen, we cannot deny these Kpop culture is coming in our community. Therefore, it is very important for us to instill this tau hit to our children so that they have the filter in whatever they receive Inshallah, they receive only the goods and they will try to avoid those bad or evil elements in this cable culture and anything else. So it is very important ladies, gentlemen, to make sure that Tao hit can be insha Allah either obviously, or maybe indirectly
instill in our in the young generation education. So ladies, gentlemen, before that, can I just make a little bit random?
Severe and one of you who are 20 years below? Can you raise your hand 20 years below, masha Allah, God the interstadial mobile pool.
Okay, that's that oppo? Jagannatha he does that even right all right Alhamdulillah. So, let us continue our session that one ladies gentleman the importance of thorough aid in education for new Muslims. Our speaker Legion leads gentleman is from United Kingdom who can look London one
is education Alhamdulillah diploma in Arabic language language from Islamic University of Medina Saudi Arabia, bachelor in Sharia or Islamic from Islamic University of Medina Saudi Arabia, Master Islamic law from source University of London and certification in Islamic chaplaincy from College of the prophets, Masjid Medina, Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia and Ladies Gentlemen, without further ado, I would like to invite onstage chef Wassim crimson, the basilica the hotdog master mascara, we asked what did you do different? What did you say something? What was the formula? What was the formula? You know, honestly that there is no nothing it's just it's just from Allah subhanaw taala if Allah
Subhana Allah decrees to guide a person, it will be at that time.
Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa sallahu wa sallam ova Carla Abdi Heba Rasulillah I mean, while earlier he was so happy he Marin
indeed or praise and thanks is due to Allah subhanho wa taala.
I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah alone. And that Muhammad sal Allahu Allahu Allah wa Salam is his final messenger, my dear brothers and sisters Salaam Alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
It is indeed mashallah very great honor and a blessing for me to be here with you to speak about the greatest of topics in Al Islam.
And that is the Kalama of Allah, Allah illAllah. That by it, a person will earn their salvation and be saved from any punishment in hereafter.
So to be here in your presence with you to speak about these great topics, to be part of such a blessed conference. I can only thank Allah subhanaw taala for that, that I'm given this opportunity maybe just to share a few words with you. And we hope that ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada allows us to benefit
For the time that we have with one another.
So, the topic that was given to me
I think I have some experience in that. And when I say I have some experience, in that I have gone through the stages
because what we want to talk about is the importance, the importance of hotel heed, for the new Muslim.
Now there was once upon a time I was considered a new Muslim. And mashallah, there are many perks and benefits of being a new Muslim in gatherings, that, you know, you never have to pay for any food,
you always get put to the front. So being the new Muslim was always a blessing within itself from that perspective. However, the years have passed by and a few gray hairs have appeared, and then now know that no, no, no longer am I a new Muslim. So I don't get those blessings. Well, I don't get that preferential treatment because Alhamdulillah there are so many other people embracing Islam, new Muslims, and we want to treat them in the very best way,
which is what they deserve.
So I guess I went through this stage about the importance of knowing a tell hate.
Now, I'm sure that you have listened to many a lecture not only today,
listening to the importance of towhead the oneness and uniqueness of Allah subhanaw taala. But we don't want this to be. If you're like a theoretical knowledge, knowledge, we don't want this to be something that knowledge that remains in the books. We don't want this to be a knowledge that when you were asked about the categories of Tawheed, you can mention them. First category, second category, third category, or whether you want to do a different categorization
but it doesn't impact your heart. It doesn't raise your iman
we don't want this
because if we think about the purpose, why we are here, that is to worship Allah subhanaw taala alone.
This is why Allah Allah Allah He why He created us
and also that the prophets are there he masala to set um, as Allah subhanaw taala tells us in the Quran, that they were sent for the purposes of what to teach you and I
to worship Allah subhanaw taala alone and to stay away from full deities.
But Allah subhanaw taala wants you wants us as Muslims, to completely submit to Allah subhanaw taala. So it's not just a knowledge, but it is an action.
It is an action that you will live. You want to live an experience, the Kalama of la ilaha illallah
if I give you an example,
there was a companion who was Earthman Abdul Malik Radi Allahu Anhu.
And you become old in his age. And so he came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam.
He said, Thou shalt Allah, I want to make a place. I want to make a place in my home for Salah for prayer. And I want you to come and designate that place for me.
Maybe he wasn't able to it wasn't able to go to the masjid all the time.
So the Prophet Ira salatu salam, he agrees and goes to the House of our divine diplomatic.
And so when this happens the following day, for Sahaba they see the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam enter the house,
ever everybody surrounds the house.
This like a big event.
And so as they're looking around, and they're seeing the messenger, sallAllahu wasallam, in the house of red one, then somebody says, hey, no Falon
because they can see everybody here, except so and so. So we're so and so where is he? And then somebody shouts out. He's a monarch.
He's a hypocrite. How could you not be here?
And so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he hears this. He hears this.
He says, don't say that letter called Alec.
Do you not know that that person you are speaking to?
That? He says La ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasool Allah ha this woman can be
that he says this Kenema
I'm not just does he say it. He says it sincerely from his heart,
which is an added level,
which is something that maybe we need to
aspire to, we need to achieve.
So this Kalama of la ilaha illa Allah is not something that you just by no it No.
Yes of course for Allah and no hula Illa Illa Allah
that you need to know. La ilaha illa Allah.
And as I mentioned this verse actually, something comes to my mind for ilm, and no.
Does anybody know which Surah This is?
Sort of Lachman sorts. Mohammed Yes, I sent, it isn't suited to Mohammed.
Enough saw from Mohammed is a madonie Surah it's a Madani Surah meaning that it was revealed after the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had gone to Medina 13 years had passed in Makkah. And then these chapters they were revealed.
And if you think that this verse itself is directed, first and foremost, because it's a command, to the Prophet, sallAllahu alayhi wasallam
farlam that you need to know. And subhanAllah even the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam was commanded by Allah Jalla wa Ala to have knowledge of and he sallallahu alayhi salam, no doubt had the greatest knowledge of la ilaha illa Allah but if you think about this verse itself alone, who was direct to when it was directed to the it shows us the importance of what knowledge
knowledge of this Kalama
but it doesn't stop there.
We'll start with limbic
and then seek forgiveness for your sins which is your actions.
So as Muslims we go through our lives attaining Convo go to conferences, attaining knowledge, we go to classes, we learn Arabic, and we bring about all this knowledge this, bring it Masha Allah, but what is next after that is to act upon that knowledge.
You must act upon it.
You cannot be from those people who acquire this knowledge and then simply don't act upon it.
You make dua to Allah azza wa jal every day,
whether you realize this or not, you make dua to Allah subhanaw, Taala 17 times a day, not to be from those type of people, where you have knowledge, and that you don't act upon it.
But then you may say, wait a minute, I know I know all the publications, I know all the details that I make.
You know, oh, Allah, grant me Tofik grant me success. Got me guidance. You know, a pious spouse, pious husband, pious wife, good house, good children. I know the things I'm making. They're awful. But when am I asking Allah subhanaw taala to give me knowledge,
and to act upon it, or not to be from those who don't act upon it
at the end of Surah Fatiha
why you will not do Bihari him? What a Bollin. And then you say I mean, so when you say I mean, you know that you've made dua, right?
What did you make dua for so you asked Allah subhanaw taala did not set out almost 13 guide me to the or guide us to the straight path. And then after that, Lady MCDU vra him, not those whom have earned Your anger.
Those who Allah subhanaw taala is angry with and who are those, those are people who have knowledge they know but they do not act upon it.
So this topic of a towhead the title of the conference here about the importance of a tilted is the very essence, the very center of everything that a Muslim is going to start with with regards to their belief.
Absolutely everything.
Why do you do this? Why do you do that? Why five times you pray? Why do you not do this? You don't eat this you don't drink that you dress in a particular way? Why? Why why why? Everything quite simply directs and goes back to understanding of la ilaha illallah
because this is what identifies you as a Muslim. One who submits to Allah subhanahu wata, Anna.
Now moving on,
because I've mentioned before, no doubt you have heard similar to that what I've mentioned today and you will hear something similar to that tomorrow.
But what does this got to do with the new Muslims?
Do we have anything to
Have anything from the life of Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that teaches us that can guide us about the importance of dealing with La Ilaha illa Allah Muhammad Allah so Allah when you muslim, shouldn't it be the same for any Muslim? Yes, it should.
It should of course. But there are no doubt different approaches and different ways with regards to different people. Not all people are the same.
So the Prophet sallallahu, Addison went to great levels, worked very hard to ensure the message of la ilaha illa. Allah was delivered to the people
on the Day of Arafah
when the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is performing the only Hajj of his life
and he's addressing the companions, and almost indirectly addressing mankind, uns old people,
the famous sermon that was delivered on the Day of Arafah.
At the end of the book, What did the Prophet RSL some say a * of a lot.
Have I not conveyed the message to you?
You not understand what has been said to you?
Is everything clear to you? This is what the prophet i This is what I'm said to the more than 100,000 of the Sahaba performing Hajj at that particular time. Allah help a lot
and whoever is not here,
let that person conveyed to the one who is not here.
From the very beginning, when the Prophet alayhi salam is in the cave of Al Hara,
then the angel Jibreel era Salam,
he comes to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam if Ikara Miss Mira Becca Levy hudec The first revelation comes to a Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam five verses from surah Allah.
At this point here the Prophet alayhi salam becomes an he becomes a prophet.
And then a while later, the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam receives more revelation.
Yeah, uh, you have more DEF
CON. For envious.
Oh, the one who is wrapped up in garments, stand up and warn the people.
Here now the Prophet alayhi salatu salam.
After calling his immediate family, the first believer Khadija will be allowed.
Here the Prophet alayhi salatu. Salam was then commanded to speak to everybody else
to warn them about a punishment of Allah Tabata Catan
and as we know the Prophet RSM was not only another year a Warner, but was also a MOBA shit. One who gives glad tidings.
But you start with you need to be aware that there is a punishment of Allah subhanaw taala.
And this is also in line with when the Prophet alayhi salatu salam is standing on the mountain.
When Allah subhanaw taala says, The Rashi reticle, aka Robin, and moon, your closest relatives, that the Prophet stands on the mountain, he calls his people he calls his tribes. They're all standing there below him. And he establishes himself with them.
If I was to warn you about an army behind this mountain coming to attack you Would you believe me? And they would say nothing else. But you are so radical. I mean, you're the truthful one, the trustworthy one.
And so here the Prophet SAW SLM warns them about the punishment of Allah subhanaw taala.
And then, of course, the disbelievers at that time rebuked Why have you brought us here for this? This is a joke. What is that? And here the enmity started between the prophet or Islam, or rather from their side towards the Prophet alayhi salatu salam.
So the Prophet is that Saddam was commanded to warn his people about the punishment of Allah subhanaw taala.
Now I mentioned this and it was able to do with the Muslims,
when speaking with new Muslims, were the seed of faith,
the seed of Eman, it has entered their hearts.
It will take time to grow.
It will take time to grow.
Just as any one of us we go to the gym for the example before I'm sure one that wants to start to be a runner. You can't just decide right tomorrow I'm going to run a marathon. You won't be able to be walking if you can even make it
or you can't just walk into the gym and pick up like 150 or 100 kgs and stuff. You can't do them. You need to build yourself up
similarly with Al Islam, that new Muslim needs to build themselves up. And there was great guidance in how we should what, how we should deal with each of these individuals step by step.
But the prophet race of Saddam in his example, went to great lengths, you cannot believe you cannot imagine.
how hideous and what do I mean by Hadees? How the Prophet sallallahu sallam was like a god over his believers, a protector over his believers, that he was very much involved and engaged with every single one of the sahaba.
If somebody was missing,
he at least would know who was missing, even though that there may be hundreds of people.
Imagine that there's 1000s of people
on an example, is that the Prophet alayhi salam is going to Tabuk
and the Muslims, they live in the 1000s, to go and meet the Romans.
And so the Prophet alayhi salam is looking around and he says, Where is Khabib? Know Malik, where his cap.
And the story continues, point being what the Prophet alayhi salatu salam was aware of who was present and who wasn't present. He was so loving and protective, over the Sahaba Yes, or the Allahu Anhu. But he SallAllahu wasallam was also protective, and had a love for people, Muslims, that he never met.
And he would even be very open with the Sahaba or the lion whom he says that I would love to meet my brothers.
I said the Sahaba
unless next one, are we not your brothers, oh, messenger of Allah.
The Prophet sallallahu several and Thomas Hardy, you are my companions, these people, all those who believe in me and have never seen me
that the Prophet I sort of had this eagerness in wanting to meet. And we can be quite clear now that he wanted to meet every single one of you.
Now to put that in perspective,
that maybe you're in a special place, you're in a university, and you know, there's a gift to be given out. Is meeting rasool Allah Salas and being this person, would that be a great, beautiful gift? Yes, absolutely.
You're in university, there's a gift going to be come out given out and your name is called.
And you also have the song so I'm going to meet so and so and I'm going to get my gift. The Prophet isrm wants to meet every single one of you by name individually.
So the prophets Allah Selim went to great lengths to protect his own,
to protect all Muslims from anything that would harm them
will move meaning or offer Rahim
and that he was towards the believers?
Humble merciful to them.
The Prophet alayhi salatu salam, calling his people for years,
every opportunity to call them to Islam, he would do that at least to send him what they would begin with
La Ilaha illa Allah, even if a person has an issue, and in the modern day now,
people have a number of issues with Islam. Islam says this Islam says that why you can't do this, why you can't do that. Why do you have to do this? Why do you have to do that? If you start dealing with these, if you want to see peripheral issues, issues that are on the outside, and don't attach them to the middle,
then the person may never understand the reality of why why is it like this?
The dress code, the food rulings, for other issues, inheritance rules, things that you know, people usually bring out as, as problems in Islam because they don't understand. But to bring it back to the core of la ilaha illa Allah means you understand and submit the Allah subhanaw taala. He knows best
for with regards to our interests.
13 years the prophet Elisha them calling his people in the 10th year his uncle Abu Talib,
his uncle Abdullah, who, let's be honest, he did a lot for the Prophet sallallahu radiocentre. He made sure that the other tribes would not harm his nephew. He looked after the Prophet sallallahu Sallam for more than 40 years.
The closest to that what you would find as a father figure in the life of Rasulullah sallallahu. So he becomes very ill
and he's like he's on his deathbed.
So the Prophet alayhi salatu salam wants him to enter into al Islam.
Because entering into Islam means that you will find your salvation belief in Allah. So the first thing that the Prophet sallallahu says, Yeah, I'm Oh uncle poular Illa Illa Allah
say the word say the Kalama of la ilaha illa Allah, Masha, Allah kabhi Hajo will PM, I'll intercede for you, I'll speak for you or on your behalf on the Day of Judgment. It may be that you because you're on your deathbed. You didn't do lots of actions. You didn't pray a lot. You didn't do all these things.
But this is something that you can attain salvation. You can be free from the hellfire.
But as we know, above our lip, he did not say the Kalama
and so he did not attain salvation.
And this saddened the Prophet SAW Selim greatly
and he asked Allah subhanaw taala to lighten the punishment for his uncle.
What what is the point of mentioning the story?
Well, there are many points, the one I want to focus on is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam focused on
saying the word of Allah Illallah for that person to enter into al Islam.
And that is the focus.
That was in the 10th year after the Prophet sallallaahu Selim had received revelation. I want to now jump on fast forward to the 10th year of the hijra, so maybe not another 13 years later.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
he chooses as a hobby. He speaks to a companion. This companion His name is more as a blue gerbil.
More as the blue gerbil?
So the Prophet alayhi salatu salam has become old and his age 62 years old.
He says yeah, more or half the Sahaba or the Alon, they love Rasulullah sallallahu ala Selim, like you cannot imagine. And for them to be spoken to on a one on one situation was Nana was a blessing.
So the Prophet alayhi salam, he, he pulls more aside
he says yeah, more if
I have a job on responsibility for you to carry out.
So more or less of the Allahu Anhu he gets on to his his right camel. And so the Prophet alayhi salam, he takes the reins of the right and starts to walk with more. So more as to try to imagine this more as though the lion who is on his his so his camel and the Prophet SAW Selim is pulling the camel along with more audible German.
And here between them
there is a conversation which is for us represents guidance and methodology, how to get down
how to give the hour you know, there are sometimes workshops, there are sometimes courses, lectures, how to give Dawa all very important.
No lecture, no talk, no workshop, no course no book is worth anything was not 100% Unless this incident is mentioned,
this incident has to be mentioned. Why? Because it represents a starting point. How to give that hour.
So imagine now, let's say I choose because with more knowledgeable another companion was sent. His name was Abu Musa actually wrote the line. The Prophet Addison chooses these two companions. And he says to them both, I'm going to send you to another land.
Like me choosing or somebody who's in charge, he knows you will. He says, you know, you and you, I'm going to send you to another country.
Another country, there's no Islam in that country. Now Islam, you do have the responsibility of teaching those people. Al Islam
can imagine what responsibility would be on your shoulders.
Me, I have to take Islam to another country. I'm going to go there to these people who don't know Islam
to people, and as we know now, the 2044 Now, that country now is full of Muslims. Islam spread
everywhere.
So the Prophet sallahu alayhi wa sallam his speaking to me.
He says, Omar
I have to be honest with you
that maybe when you return when you come back, I won't be here.
This is like
a shock to the system or is more liberal Japan
to have a life without the messenger la salatu salam, the person has given me a job of responsibility. I'm gonna go and do it the best I can. And when I come back, no doubt, I want to tell you inform you whether it was successful, successful or not.
The person says no. When you come back, I mean, it'll be here. This will be my masjid and this will be my grave.
So this hurt, or rather, he was very, very sad upon hearing this.
And so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says in Nikka T Coleman, you are going to a people a hella Kitab you're going to the people of the book in the Yemen.
familia couldn't Oh, well, Matthew the room really. The first thing that you're going to teach them is what?
And shadow Allah your shadow Allah, Allah, Allah Allah,
that they will make the justification and Yeshua do Allah Allah, Allah Allah, one number Hamedan rasool Allah, they make the test dictation or testimony of faces, they enter into al Islam. That is the thing the first thing
that is the first thing that you're going to teach them in home Alpha leader like, if they obey you, in this they accept there is only one worthy of worship except Allah alone. And they accepted Mohamed Salah serve as the messenger of Allah.
Now there are new Muslims, the new Muslims,
you return know, the job is not done.
The job is not done.
Because the new Muslim, they need to be looked after.
They need to be looked after they have made maybe had a life of 20 3040 years of other than Islam.
They need somebody to be there with them.
A lot of the time we are focused on
you have an organization maybe or you have a job.
How many Muslims became how many people became Muslims with you this year? How many, your organization? How many Muslims you have? So you go to your statistics and you say this organization number one, they say we have 3636? This is 36
and one year 36 people?
What does that work out to be like one every 10 days? That
can't believe? organization? Organization number two now? Do you know how many they have? They have 2500
they have 2500 people became Muslim? And you have 36? What is going on?
They said no, no, no. But the 36 who became Muslim with us this year 36 of them attend the masjid every single day.
36 of them are still with us. And they attend all of our courses. So those who embraced Islam 36 3060 stayed with us.
This was interesting.
Let us ask organization number two.
So you had 2000 People who became Muslim with you? How many people attend your courses? So they go Yeah, well on so and so we had eight we had eight attend. On another day we had 12 That was a good day. We had 1212 Another day we had 10
Then we had seven and they go through their courses. And then they see that the attendance. We haven't done the 2501 Well, they became Muslim hamdulillah but where are they?
Now they've gone out on the doing their jobs and are they what did you teach them?
We taught them no ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasool Allah, this is our job. The rest is to Allah subhanaw taala Okay, He will teach them Salah
who will teach them the Torah and of Islam, who will teach them the Islamic manners and the Islamic dub and the Mohammed how we deal with one another who will teach them you will give them books masa lemma.
Is this how it works? It's about numbers.
The Prophet
says the more of autodial are when they embrace Islam, they accepted that ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasool Allah
would you do? You come back? No.
You stay there.
Then you teach them that Allah subhanaw taala
has obligated come to Salah typically Yeoman WELEDA
there are five prayers that you need to establish every day and night.
And for every Muslim, new old, whatever
understanding La Ilaha illa Allah is the center and the star as I mentioned, but your Salah your prayer, is your daily connection with your
daily connection with Allah subhanaw taala
it is your daily sustenance. When you wake up in the morning you have your breakfast, maybe midday, you have your lunch in the morning, afternoon, you might have some more food and drink. You want to keep your body alive. Your salah, your prayer is the sustenance for your soul.
For you to have a connection with Allah subhanaw taala.
And the single most
or the biggest problem that people have when they say my Eman is weak. My Eman is weak. I feel like I'm getting far away from Allah subhanaw taala especially with new Muslims and to be honest with Muslims in general.
They said you know I don't feel Allah azza wa jal is answering my dua My blessings are less I'm having a hard life. They're complaining.
So you go you speak to them you say Okay, so tell me about it more. And then you say, you asked the question, how was your Salah?
Now, for a lot of us as a personal question, don't ask me is my private it's private. Don't ask me about that. But if you want to be open in your Naziha and your advice, how was your Salah?
A very, very high percentage they say I don't pray like I used to.
I'm not praying like I used to.
Right there.
Right. There's the muscular
because if you want to have the knowledge of la ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasool Allah as I mentioned, knowledge of it was the first action for you to live it now.
Is your Salah.
If you are offering your Salah you are actively actively Living La Ilaha illa Allah,
how many times a day you're placing your face on the floor in submission to Allah subhanaw taala
it's a reminder of who you are, you submit you bow down you prostrate only to Allah subhanho wa taala.
So you will pray. And this is what
this is what more of the Allahu Anhu was taught by the Prophet SAW Selim to teach the people
stop there. No doesn't stop there.
For him,
if they
obey you and follow you in this, then teach them teach them valium and Allah after that Ali him sadaqa that there was a charity that has to be paid from their money.
The rich people, they have to pay money as a charity.
Does this money it comes back to El Medina comes back to the Muslims in El Medina. No.
Very important points,
that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said this money to huddle mean of the hymns taken from their rich in that area for to reduce fee for karate him and it's returned to their poor, from their rich to the poor, that will remain with them.
Can you imagine they were new Muslims, they newly embraced Islam. They believe in Allah subhanaw taala hamdulillah they establish their salah, and then they say, We need your money. You need to give your money for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala. And then they go away and they say, where's that money going?
They want to know and understand that this is not the point. It's not about money. But it is about a community of people who help one another.
You support one another. You live in the same land, the same city, the same village, everybody's there to help one another.
And then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said and this is of course more detail to Morales, radula Anu, e con
el como Kurama la moi that you take from their best wealth, because maybe their wealth isn't necessarily maybe golden silver. Maybe the Zika is paid in camels, sheep, and cows don't take from the best that they have.
Take from the middle. You know, don't take a sheep. He's got three legs. Nobody wants to sheep with three legs right? Or a cow with two legs. No, we don't want the the sadhaka which is no value to anyone.
Or you take the very best cow or the gives the most
Smilk don't do that. Take the one that's in the middle. And then you give that to the poor
SubhanAllah.
So the Prophet alayhi salam gives us a blueprint, a template to follow. These are new Muslims. The thing that you're going to focus on heading back to La Ilaha illa Allah Muhammad Rasul Allah, that establish the prayer in their lives and with regards to their sadaqa with regards to their man
and if you think about it,
how wise Allah subhanaw taala is
because saying La ilaha illa Allah Muhammad Rasul Allah and establishing salah is you, you can do this, you have this belief handle, you establish your prayer, but maybe yourself, you still love dunya
you still love the dunya
for this reason, there is a charity and this charity that you have to give will break your connection. Save save save money, money, no.
This is a subpoena and an amazing command from Allah subhanaw taala that it break you somewhat this this, this is a touch you from this world, the life so you give the charity and when you give it you feel good because you're giving back to your own people as well.
You will lift the threshold of of poverty is no longer there anymore. People aren't begging in the street anymore.
So the profit RSM continues in his advice, and as I mentioned to you,
these advices are golden and methodology that we follow.
The Prophet sallallahu lsmw also advises more on the job and he says yes through whether to zero
but Shirou wallet on a pharaoh matawa wallet Khalifa Spanner
so the prophets Allah Islam says to both more Arthur blue Jabba and Abu Musa luxury Radi Allahu Anhu uma make things easy.
Okay, make things easy, and don't make it difficult or make it difficult, give glad tidings to the people and don't run them away, repel them
and cooperate cooperate with one another. You Morales you Abu Musa Rana work together and do not become divided.
These are pieces of guidance for us all.
Nobody owns the religion of Allah Tabata, Kota Allah, nobody owns the Dawa. No, we are all servants. We're all workers in the service of Allah subhanaw taala serving Allah's Deen
this conference, and down the road, there's another conference, and there's another organization. And then down the road. There's another organization.
The prophets lie Selim gave the advice to both more than Abu Musa are the law in Houma. Work with one another, cooperate with one another and do not differ.
And this is a very very well known principle in the Quran.
Do not divide yourselves do not argue and separate parts of Shalu which is hurry because you will fail and your strength will disappear, while Spiro be patient in the Lucha Massa beating because Alas, Panda is with those who are patient, they may be difficult times. So more out of the Allahu Anhu and Abu Musa are the line, they would go they went to Yemen, they went to the different areas, calling people to La ilaha illAllah. And also SubhanAllah. The prophesy Salam reminded them and told them that you are going to people, the people of Yemen
are to calm. They are soft hearted people.
These people in Yemen, they're soft hearted.
So be soft with them. Don't be harsh with them.
And I just started speaking about this particular conversation between more Admiral Delano and Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihe Salam and the benefits are just like so many.
But the insight and the knowledge of Rasulullah sallallahu into the situation was so specific
and so measured and so correct in how we should teach odourless the video topic. Will hokhmah while more edited has been called to the path of your LORD
with Wisdom
using the Kitab and Sunnah and also with a fine word, a fine admonition when you speak to them, don't shout and scream at them. You speak to them nicely.
A person may be shouting in your face in London.
You know, London is of course in the UK. There's a there's a park
and there's this
particular park with Hyde Park corner, you may have heard of it.
At this particular place, it's famous that all people with different ideas and beliefs, they go there. And they used to be back in the day used to pick a little box and you stand on the box, and you just start talking to everybody. It's a very well known every Sunday, and sometimes 100 A lot of Muslims, they go there to refute many of the misconceptions that people have concerning Islam. Islam is this Islam is that and they go there to defend Islam. And sometimes Subhanallah you find people, they are right there in your face shouting, but yet the brother is standing there so calm.
So calm says, please use me can you stand back? If you need to talk to me talk to me, don't shout at me.
Some of them have taken on the other the manners of an Islam and how to deal with people.
There are some maybe who behave in the correct way. The person comes to shouting in the air. You raise your hand and you put and then a fight breaks out and then
it's an awful look.
Looks terrible.
So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to more of your going to people have soft hearts be easy. Yes, 01 to zero. And we should be like this with one another. Don't overburden people.
Now, of course, we realize that as I mentioned earlier that that seed of Eman takes time to build up. It takes time to strengthen.
And at times with the excitement, because the person who embraces Islam on the first day and the second day, they feel so happy. They want to do everything. They want to do everything when fast fasting Bismillah. When do I fast? What will you know we can last three days in the month, three days, I can do more than this. Only three days I could do more? Okay, well then we can fast Mondays and Thursdays two days a week. No, I can do more than that, that a man is speaking then they are speaking that they can do more and more and more. They may not realize that this is not something sustainable for them. They could do for me one week, maybe two weeks, and that was too much
difficult for them.
So
yeah, but I could do more than that. Well, okay. We have the foster Gouda Instagram,
where you can fast one day break one fast, fast one. So every other day. That's the best. I'm doing that.
And so they do that for one week and two weeks. That is too much. I can't do this anymore.
And they feel oh, Islam is a bit difficult. You know, what do you think Islam was like this.
But they overburden themselves.
This is why you educate the new Muslim. You educate them in that take things slowly? Yes. 0120 make things easy for them not to the extent where we're compromising now. Don't worry about that. Okay, so you make things easy for them in that the prophets have said you know, make things easy. They believe in Allah subhanaw taala the prayer Don't worry about the prayer brother Don't worry, just just know. That's the first thing after the Kalama they need to learn
well, you know, with regards to I don't know Arabic, that's okay. You will learn Insha Allah, I don't even know the letters okay, you will learn
these are small phrases that you can say within the prayer.
So, there are things which you allow them not to overburden themselves and there because they are so happy that they will want to at times overburden themselves and they don't realize
so the example that the Prophet ism gave to what has happened with Jebel is a beautiful one.
He also said to the companion, more admiralty law and what
that will tell him as loom
and be careful Oh more Earth. Be careful of the dua of the one who has been wronged who has been oppressed
not wrong people. Don't let people feel that they have been treated or mistreated.
For in lace have been Allah he will be no dua him hijab, that there is no age there is no barrier between this application
and Allah subhanaw taala, answering the dua
for an Elisa Bina, who will be no like hijab,
there is no
shield protecting even if they were a non Muslim, if they were wronged
and they called upon Allah subhanaw taala Allah Allah Allah will give them their right.
So more authority Allah and who was given great advices great advices how to deal with the new Muslim
How long do I have left
Brothers, how long have left?
Seven minutes. Okay, that was good timing.
So we have seven minutes
somebody mentioned a couple of things, important things concerning the incident of Moraga Radi Allahu Anhu. And the Prophet alayhi salatu salam. Now, as you can understand, there's a big focus on this incident with regards to this talk I'm talking about, I'm giving to you. There's a big emphasis on this particular incident.
And there's a number of different studies that are brought together to give us a clearer picture of exactly what what happened.
But also the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to more of
you can
be aware of luxury.
Beware of luxury for an EVA DE LA LA Zoo, will Madonna Madonna, I mean
that the believers are not people who live always in luxury, and you see their people in the opposite way you show balance, you show balance. Be aware that what you're going to people who are new Muslims, new Muslims,
they see you like this, they will question
so the Prophet gave the most beautiful forms of advice to what was an enormous responsibility on the shoulder of Morales, Radi Allahu Anhu and Abu Musa and Ashley and because they adhere to, they adhered to this guidance, Allah subhanaw taala, blessed Dawa blessed the Dawa, and Islam spread.
Last thing I want to mention,
I hope is the last one, maybe I'll think of something or can fit it in. I'm going to allow somebody Allahu Anhu I'm going to pronounce he was an individual who was a big enemy of Islam.
If you remember
that some of the Muslims they made Hegira to have Russia and they went to Nigeria, she you probably noticed in the story, right? And there was Java abiqua Live and respond if not iPhone and other companions that are the low animal. And so the Quraysh were unhappy that the Muslims escaped to Hampshire. So they sent a couple of people.
One of those people was, um, Reverend mass, and he was going to speak on at that time wasn't Muslim on behalf of the Irish, to send the Muslims back because they're troublemakers.
And in fact, I'm gonna have him on the line.
If you read his story of his life
is just unbelievable. How Allah subhanaw taala uses servants uses one person to serve the deen of Allah subhanaw taala SubhanAllah.
So he says on his deathbed, I'm the Romans. What are the long run? He said when I was dying. He was dying on his bed.
And his son, Abdullah, an entrepreneur has Rhodiola Amasya ability Oh, my father did not the messenger of allah sallallahu wasallam give you glad tidings.
He became Muslim, maybe three years.
Just over three years. Before the prophets Allah Salam passed away over the last three years that he was a Muslim in the life of Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihe Salam.
But he went on to great things.
He says is on his deathbed. He knows he's going to die. I'm never gonna ask about the law. I know.
I receive glad tidings from the Messenger of Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam
Yeah. Boonie Oh, my son, let me tell you something.
Let me tell you something, my life. I can 333 stages, I can put my life into three different stages. The first stage is that I was at a time in my life, where the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was the most hated individual to me in my life.
I want to do anything to harm him. If I died like that, I would be in Ghana.
I would have been in Jahannam if I died in that state.
The second stage of my life.
He says that Islam entered into my heart after the Muslims, they came to the conquest of Makkah.
Allah azza wa jal softened my heart. And I came to the messenger of allah sallallahu anusandhan. And the messenger of Allah so Saddam was meeting people left and right.
He said it was my turn. It was my turn to come to the messenger. So I sent them to declare my Islam.
So sort of put my hand out and the messenger size and put his hand out. And then he sort of, he said, I shook my hand back,
thinking and so the prophet has always said
Your Hammer
was the matter with you.
He says, Yasser Allah I started have a condition. I want to place down a condition before anti Islam. I have a condition.
So the professor says, spam. So what's your condition? Would you want to say?
Now the Muslims were in charge of Maccha full power. Nobody could do anything to the messenger, salallahu alayhi salam, and he is somebody who fought against Islam for so long. He wants to start making conditions bargaining.
Officers he started, make your condition what do you want?
He says, I want to know if I enter into Islam. I become Muslim. All my sins, Allah forgives them.
Allah forgives all my sins.
So the professor smiles.
You he says Yama, do you not know that Allah forgives everything that came before
you becoming becoming a muslim YouTuber.
It wipes everything out.
So he put his hand and he became Muslim.
And he became one of the great leaders, one of the great generals in Islam, and went into the land eventually into Egypt
became the general of the Muslims to open the lands of myths.
But he said that was my second stage. He said if I died at that moment, because I was so happy I thought I was flying.
If I died at that moment,
I would have great hope that I would be from the people of Ghana.
He said the first stage of my life,
he said is the time after the
life.
Family
working a bad day our
ups and downs. Who knows if Allah subhanaw taala has accepted for me or not?
He said this was the first stage of my life, living Islam
Alhamdulillah Allah azza wa jal guided us to Islam, but we don't have guarantees so no promises. You need to work. You need to work. Jana is not molest free
need to work for into sacrifice.
He said this is third stage of my life and I don't know my state with Allah subhanaw taala you give me good reminders is a good thing to do. A person who is maybe close to the end we give them good encouragement, Allah's Mercy You've done so much good, it's good thing to do. But the person who's in that situation will have maybe a perspective, nothing guaranteed. They have great hope and a las Panatela no doubt.
And for us, we have different stages as well as in our lives.
We all have different stages.
But Subhanallah how Allah Allah Allah uses individuals
to serve the deen of Allah subhanaw taala
We ask Allah subhanaw taala to utilize and use us in the very best way to serve his Deen Allah whom I mean.
We ask Allah subhanaw taala to give us a true understanding of what it means to say that Ilaha illa Allah and he
and we ask Allah azza wa jal to allow us to remain firm, steadfast upon this deen and
I ask Allah subhanaw taala to bless every single one of you my dear brothers and sisters, I ask Allah Allah Allah that He allows us to serve his Deen continually and inshallah Tada tomorrow we have another lecture and that we are able to share with benefit with one another watercolor vegan or SallAllahu wasallam Mubarak and the Vienna Muhammad Diwan early he was off the age my name was Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
