Welcome to, Al Amin Khaled.

00:00:06--> 00:00:07

We're happy that you are with us

00:00:08--> 00:00:10

here for over the school holidays

00:00:10--> 00:00:12

this week, next week, and the week after.

00:00:12--> 00:00:15

We will be also available for you,

00:00:15--> 00:00:18

inshallah for the salah. Just to take a

00:00:18--> 00:00:20

little bit of pressure off the Masjid.

00:00:20--> 00:00:21

We pray that Allah

00:00:22--> 00:00:24

makes it an acceptable time that we're all

00:00:24--> 00:00:24

together.

00:02:07--> 00:02:09

If I could just ask the brothers

00:02:09--> 00:02:11

to shift forward and fill the gaps. We're

00:02:11--> 00:02:13

already 3 quarters full, and there are a

00:02:13--> 00:02:15

number of people that are still on the

00:02:15--> 00:02:15

way

00:04:30--> 00:04:32

Always we begin with the praise of Allah.

00:04:32--> 00:04:35

We send our prayers of peace and greetings

00:04:35--> 00:04:36

and salutations

00:04:36--> 00:04:39

for our Nabi Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:04:40--> 00:04:43

We testify with firmness and conviction that none

00:04:43--> 00:04:45

is worthy of worship but Allah.

00:04:45--> 00:04:47

And that our Nabi Muhammad salallahu

00:04:48--> 00:04:51

alaihi wasallam is his worshiping slave and final

00:04:51--> 00:04:51

messenger.

00:04:52--> 00:04:54

I always seek to remind myself and you

00:04:54--> 00:04:55

of taq'u'llah.

00:04:56--> 00:04:59

This is the essence of all of the

00:04:59--> 00:05:01

instruction given by Allah to humanity.

00:05:01--> 00:05:02

Anitahullah.

00:05:04--> 00:05:04

Allah

00:05:05--> 00:05:07

says, oh ye who believe,

00:05:08--> 00:05:10

have the tafwa of Allah, the fear of

00:05:10--> 00:05:13

Allah, the love of Allah, and the hope

00:05:13--> 00:05:14

in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:05:15--> 00:05:18

to the capacity that I am deserving of

00:05:18--> 00:05:18

you.

00:05:23--> 00:05:25

Do not depart this worldly

00:05:25--> 00:05:27

life in any condition

00:05:28--> 00:05:29

other than willful

00:05:29--> 00:05:29

voluntary

00:05:30--> 00:05:32

submission to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:05:33--> 00:05:35

May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala make the month

00:05:35--> 00:05:35

of Ramadan

00:05:36--> 00:05:38

a month of increase in.

00:05:39--> 00:05:39

May

00:05:40--> 00:05:42

Allah allow our hunger and thirst,

00:05:43--> 00:05:46

our restraint from our spouses and from that

00:05:46--> 00:05:49

which is normal processes in our life

00:05:49--> 00:05:52

to be a reason for us to increase

00:05:52--> 00:05:53

in our nearness

00:05:54--> 00:05:56

and closeness to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:05:57--> 00:05:59

May Allah accept our fasting in this blessed

00:05:59--> 00:06:01

month of Ramadan and give us many more

00:06:01--> 00:06:03

Ramadans in good health

00:06:04--> 00:06:06

It increased the risk and iman

00:06:06--> 00:06:09

and in connection and closeness to our families,

00:06:09--> 00:06:10

Allahu alaamin.

00:06:11--> 00:06:14

This is also the season where a lot

00:06:14--> 00:06:17

of the people of the book, in particular,

00:06:18--> 00:06:21

our Christian community beginning to contemplate

00:06:22--> 00:06:23

their understanding

00:06:24--> 00:06:25

and their connection

00:06:26--> 00:06:27

to Allah subhanahu

00:06:27--> 00:06:28

wa ta'ala.

00:06:29--> 00:06:32

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us as believers

00:06:33--> 00:06:35

that Isa alaihi salam

00:06:36--> 00:06:37

was a messenger

00:06:37--> 00:06:38

of Allah

00:06:39--> 00:06:40

And that the example of Giza,

00:06:45--> 00:06:48

That the example of Jesus that Allah strikes

00:06:48--> 00:06:50

for humanity is that He was similar

00:06:51--> 00:06:54

to the creation, the unique creation of Adam

00:06:55--> 00:06:56

who was in essentially

00:06:57--> 00:07:00

created from dust not even from another human

00:07:00--> 00:07:00

form.

00:07:01--> 00:07:03

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala discounts

00:07:04--> 00:07:05

and makes it clear

00:07:06--> 00:07:07

that Aesah

00:07:07--> 00:07:08

alayhis

00:07:08--> 00:07:09

salam

00:07:13--> 00:07:15

neither could they have killed him

00:07:16--> 00:07:16

nor

00:07:17--> 00:07:20

did they even place him upon the crucifix

00:07:21--> 00:07:22

but it was made seemingly

00:07:23--> 00:07:24

so to them

00:07:24--> 00:07:26

And the aqeedah of every Muslim,

00:07:27--> 00:07:30

everyone who submits themselves to Allah subhanahu wa

00:07:30--> 00:07:30

ta'ala

00:07:31--> 00:07:33

in adherence to the tradition of the prophet

00:07:33--> 00:07:34

salaam

00:07:34--> 00:07:38

in the understanding of the greater tradition of

00:07:38--> 00:07:38

monotheism

00:07:39--> 00:07:40

and singling out,

00:07:41--> 00:07:41

unifying

00:07:42--> 00:07:45

all purpose of worship for Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:07:45--> 00:07:47

Ta'ala. It is by pretext to know

00:07:48--> 00:07:50

that if one was born they could not

00:07:50--> 00:07:53

have been before what was born.

00:07:53--> 00:07:56

And if one was killed they have no

00:07:56--> 00:07:58

power of what occurs in their absence

00:07:59--> 00:08:01

even if there is a claim to return

00:08:01--> 00:08:03

to life and resurrection.

00:08:07--> 00:08:10

And Allah gives many Parables to mankind

00:08:10--> 00:08:11

in the Quran.

00:08:12--> 00:08:15

Our focus after establishing this limited

00:08:16--> 00:08:18

of what we believe about Jesus. That

00:08:19--> 00:08:20

he is Abdul.

00:08:22--> 00:08:24

The servant of God, a creative being

00:08:25--> 00:08:27

that the one who was weak and always

00:08:27--> 00:08:30

asking, love me, my Lord, assist me. The

00:08:30--> 00:08:33

one who did not have knowledge except that

00:08:33--> 00:08:35

which we granted to him through revelation and

00:08:35--> 00:08:35

by

00:08:36--> 00:08:36

Allah,

00:08:37--> 00:08:38

the one who it's documented

00:08:39--> 00:08:40

even in Christian sources

00:08:41--> 00:08:44

as being unaware of when the time of

00:08:44--> 00:08:45

judgement would be?

00:08:46--> 00:08:47

The one who Allah Subhanahu

00:08:48--> 00:08:49

Wa Ta'ala describes

00:08:50--> 00:08:52

in his manner of birth

00:08:52--> 00:08:55

And the great imams when they speak about

00:08:55--> 00:08:56

the verses in Surat Maryam,

00:08:57--> 00:08:59

why does Allah go to such great detail

00:08:59--> 00:09:02

in Surat Maryam, in Surat Abi Imran

00:09:02--> 00:09:03

to describe

00:09:04--> 00:09:07

that Allah said, kun fayakun, be and he

00:09:07--> 00:09:10

was. That detail is added so that you

00:09:10--> 00:09:10

know

00:09:11--> 00:09:14

that it is a divine inspiration from Allah

00:09:16--> 00:09:18

but as well that you know that there

00:09:18--> 00:09:20

had to have been a command to be

00:09:20--> 00:09:21

given for it to occur.

00:09:22--> 00:09:24

It was not just immaculate in its own

00:09:24--> 00:09:25

sense.

00:09:30--> 00:09:31

Is the originating

00:09:31--> 00:09:34

creator and the fashioner of all things from

00:09:34--> 00:09:34

nothingness.

00:09:35--> 00:09:36

It is only Allah

00:09:38--> 00:09:38

who is

00:09:41--> 00:09:42

the sublime dominance

00:09:42--> 00:09:44

over His creation.

00:09:46--> 00:09:48

Today, we want to focus our attention about

00:09:48--> 00:09:50

Jesus in Ramadan.

00:09:51--> 00:09:53

And I know you might find this as

00:09:53--> 00:09:54

being something strange.

00:09:54--> 00:09:56

Would Jesus alayhis salaam

00:09:57--> 00:09:58

have honored the month of Ramadan?

00:09:59--> 00:10:01

And what actions do we find in the

00:10:01--> 00:10:02

Quran

00:10:02--> 00:10:04

in the statements of the prophet that

00:10:05--> 00:10:07

discuss Isa alaihis salam

00:10:07--> 00:10:10

that we can learn from to better ourselves

00:10:11--> 00:10:13

in the blessed month of Ramadan.

00:10:13--> 00:10:15

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:10:15--> 00:10:19

says to the prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

00:10:19--> 00:10:21

that he has given him a mandate of

00:10:21--> 00:10:24

prophets and messengers before him to follow and

00:10:24--> 00:10:27

to take lessons from. And Allah gives these

00:10:27--> 00:10:30

examples to our Nabi Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa

00:10:30--> 00:10:33

sallam, so that he can inspire the Ummah

00:10:33--> 00:10:35

into a process of truth.

00:10:36--> 00:10:38

Aisa alayhis salamah,

00:10:38--> 00:10:41

Allah says that of his first words that

00:10:41--> 00:10:42

he shares with his community.

00:10:48--> 00:10:51

He spoke as a young child being breastfed,

00:10:51--> 00:10:54

one who is days old. When the false

00:10:54--> 00:10:58

accusations were made against his mother, the first

00:10:58--> 00:10:59

statement he says is

00:11:02--> 00:11:02

I am

00:11:03--> 00:11:05

the slave of God.

00:11:05--> 00:11:07

And the month of Ramadan is meant to

00:11:07--> 00:11:10

be a month that you prove to Allah

00:11:10--> 00:11:11

subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:11:11--> 00:11:14

It is a month of proof of sincerity,

00:11:14--> 00:11:17

proof of love, proof of obedience,

00:11:17--> 00:11:20

that the word of Allah is what you

00:11:20--> 00:11:21

follow even

00:11:22--> 00:11:25

when times are difficult and other people find

00:11:25--> 00:11:26

it strange.

00:11:26--> 00:11:28

There are many around us who find it

00:11:28--> 00:11:31

strange that we don't eat and drink for

00:11:31--> 00:11:34

a certain number of days. Not just we

00:11:34--> 00:11:36

don't eat, but also any liquids and we

00:11:36--> 00:11:38

do not have it with our spouses.

00:11:39--> 00:11:40

That there is a level

00:11:41--> 00:11:43

of nearness that we seek with Allah through

00:11:43--> 00:11:44

restraint.

00:11:45--> 00:11:46

The

00:11:47--> 00:11:48

is a central

00:11:49--> 00:11:49

theme

00:11:50--> 00:11:52

that is being eroded away

00:11:53--> 00:11:55

by a culture of materialism,

00:11:56--> 00:11:58

hypermarketing, inflation

00:12:00--> 00:12:00

driven

00:12:00--> 00:12:01

processes

00:12:02--> 00:12:05

to make scares in people's mind certain commodities

00:12:06--> 00:12:08

and product that if I don't have it,

00:12:08--> 00:12:09

I'm lost.

00:12:09--> 00:12:10

Allah

00:12:11--> 00:12:14

sends Isa alaihis salam to his people to

00:12:14--> 00:12:14

say,

00:12:16--> 00:12:18

I come as a slave.

00:12:19--> 00:12:21

How many of us consider ourselves

00:12:22--> 00:12:25

slaves in the truest sense of the word?

00:12:25--> 00:12:27

That before I make a decision,

00:12:28--> 00:12:30

I check with the master if it's appropriate.

00:12:31--> 00:12:34

That before I step forward, I have asked

00:12:34--> 00:12:36

and assured that this is the direction I

00:12:36--> 00:12:37

need to go.

00:12:38--> 00:12:40

And if I remain in place, is this

00:12:40--> 00:12:42

a place that I've been asked to stay

00:12:42--> 00:12:43

behind?

00:12:44--> 00:12:47

Or have I been asked to move forward

00:12:47--> 00:12:48

or back?

00:12:50--> 00:12:53

This is the constitution of a believer that

00:12:53--> 00:12:54

Allah summarizes.

00:12:56--> 00:12:57

At the end.

00:13:00--> 00:13:03

The month of Ramadan is the month of

00:13:03--> 00:13:05

I hear the order of Allah

00:13:06--> 00:13:07

and I obey

00:13:07--> 00:13:08

without restraint,

00:13:09--> 00:13:10

without equivocation,

00:13:11--> 00:13:12

without resistance

00:13:12--> 00:13:14

what Allah has ordered.

00:13:15--> 00:13:16

And how many of us are in need

00:13:16--> 00:13:17

of the message

00:13:18--> 00:13:21

of falling in line with the orders of

00:13:21--> 00:13:22

Allah in the Sharia

00:13:22--> 00:13:25

and meeting the standards of the sunnah of

00:13:25--> 00:13:27

the prophet Muhammad salallahu alayhi wasallam.

00:13:28--> 00:13:31

Whether it's your teenage son resisting and wanting

00:13:31--> 00:13:33

a haircut that contradicts the way of the

00:13:33--> 00:13:34

prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam.

00:13:35--> 00:13:38

Or whether it's an adult who is vulgar

00:13:38--> 00:13:41

in his words of choice in speaking to

00:13:41--> 00:13:42

the mother of his children.

00:13:43--> 00:13:45

Whether it is a wife who is unwilling

00:13:45--> 00:13:48

to submit to the law of a husband

00:13:48--> 00:13:50

who works hard and diligent

00:13:51--> 00:13:53

seeking the love of Allah for himself and

00:13:53--> 00:13:54

his family.

00:13:55--> 00:13:58

Whether it is to save a penny today

00:13:58--> 00:13:59

as if I have earned it

00:14:00--> 00:14:01

for the next day.

00:14:02--> 00:14:05

To be a person who understands that my

00:14:05--> 00:14:08

place in the world is not simply governed

00:14:08--> 00:14:10

by what I feel and what I want.

00:14:10--> 00:14:13

We live in a time, in a generation

00:14:13--> 00:14:16

of what I feel has to be accepted.

00:14:16--> 00:14:18

I feel that I'm not who I think

00:14:18--> 00:14:22

I am. I feel that my attitude is

00:14:22--> 00:14:25

different or that my understanding of my identity

00:14:25--> 00:14:27

is different. Everybody must accept

00:14:28--> 00:14:30

rather than I accept

00:14:30--> 00:14:32

at times what has been ordained

00:14:33--> 00:14:34

and legislated

00:14:34--> 00:14:35

by Allah Subhanahu

00:14:36--> 00:14:36

Wa Ta'ala.

00:14:37--> 00:14:39

The mindset of the believer is

00:14:40--> 00:14:41

Inni Abdulla.

00:14:42--> 00:14:43

I am a slave of God

00:14:44--> 00:14:46

and the month of Ramadan is the month

00:14:46--> 00:14:47

of enslavement.

00:14:47--> 00:14:49

It is the month where you bring your

00:14:49--> 00:14:51

children to the messenger even when they're

00:14:51--> 00:14:53

tired. It is the month when you read

00:14:53--> 00:14:56

the Quran with your household after badger even

00:14:56--> 00:14:57

when they're sleeping.

00:14:58--> 00:14:59

It is the month that you rise up

00:14:59--> 00:15:02

and pray the du rakah before Badr, even

00:15:02--> 00:15:04

if you just go up down sufur and

00:15:04--> 00:15:06

want to get back into bed for the

00:15:06--> 00:15:08

2 hours before work.

00:15:08--> 00:15:10

The month of Ramadan is the month where

00:15:10--> 00:15:13

you give more charity than you have in

00:15:13--> 00:15:14

other months.

00:15:14--> 00:15:16

It is the month where you share food

00:15:16--> 00:15:18

more than you have in other months. It's

00:15:18--> 00:15:20

the month where you invite people into your

00:15:20--> 00:15:24

home who perhaps you are not as friendly

00:15:24--> 00:15:26

with. But it is the month of the

00:15:26--> 00:15:28

obedience to Allah and the qaam of qaam.

00:15:29--> 00:15:30

Ini ad Dummah.

00:15:33--> 00:15:34

I'm a slave of God

00:15:35--> 00:15:38

and the command of Allah is what guides

00:15:38--> 00:15:39

my life.

00:15:40--> 00:15:41

The orders and the prohibitions.

00:15:42--> 00:15:44

The halal is known and the haram is

00:15:44--> 00:15:48

known. And where I'm doubtful, I seek to

00:15:48--> 00:15:51

protect my deen by pushing it out of

00:15:51--> 00:15:53

my life. I won't resist even though I'm

00:15:53--> 00:15:55

not sure halal or haram. I will overlook

00:15:56--> 00:15:57

it for Allah and the messenger.

00:15:58--> 00:16:01

The month of Ramadan is the month of

00:16:01--> 00:16:01

scarcity

00:16:02--> 00:16:03

and drought.

00:16:04--> 00:16:06

It is the month where you are meant

00:16:06--> 00:16:08

to go dry and dehydrated

00:16:09--> 00:16:09

not medically

00:16:10--> 00:16:12

but from everything else around you.

00:16:14--> 00:16:17

If the day of Ramadan that entered

00:16:17--> 00:16:20

was similar to the day before Ramadan that

00:16:20--> 00:16:23

you lived and you look and there's no

00:16:23--> 00:16:23

difference

00:16:24--> 00:16:27

except hunger and thirst you are missing, Ramadan.

00:16:38--> 00:16:39

Allah gave me the book.

00:16:40--> 00:16:43

Allah wants you to hold the book with

00:16:43--> 00:16:45

strength. Allah says in the same chapter in

00:16:45--> 00:16:45

Surat Mariam,

00:16:49--> 00:16:51

Hold on to the scripture

00:16:51--> 00:16:52

sternly

00:16:53--> 00:16:53

with strength.

00:16:55--> 00:16:58

Because people want to rip the book from

00:16:58--> 00:17:00

your heart, from your hand, from beneath your

00:17:00--> 00:17:00

eyes.

00:17:02--> 00:17:04

People want to change your culture,

00:17:05--> 00:17:06

change your understanding

00:17:07--> 00:17:09

of what are the limits and the boundaries

00:17:09--> 00:17:12

that are set by Allah not by you

00:17:12--> 00:17:12

and modernity.

00:17:17--> 00:17:18

Hold it.

00:17:19--> 00:17:20

The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam gives this

00:17:20--> 00:17:23

imagery that in the times like the times

00:17:23--> 00:17:25

we live in today, to hold on to

00:17:25--> 00:17:27

the kitab and the sunnah is harder than

00:17:27--> 00:17:29

holding on to a coal.

00:17:30--> 00:17:33

It burns and sears, and you want to

00:17:33--> 00:17:35

let go because it's more convenient,

00:17:36--> 00:17:38

and it's more comfortable

00:17:39--> 00:17:40

and it's easier.

00:17:41--> 00:17:43

It is easier to leave your hijab.

00:17:43--> 00:17:46

It is easier to say my workplace will

00:17:46--> 00:17:48

make it better for me.

00:17:48--> 00:17:50

It is easier to say

00:17:50--> 00:17:51

overlook

00:17:51--> 00:17:53

this type of loan or this type of

00:17:53--> 00:17:54

structure.

00:17:54--> 00:17:56

It is easier

00:17:57--> 00:17:59

to blur the lines for your children.

00:18:01--> 00:18:03

It's easier to allow them permissions

00:18:05--> 00:18:08

that your parents would not have allowed you.

00:18:09--> 00:18:11

It is easier to allow things to be

00:18:11--> 00:18:13

done outside the masjid that in the masjid

00:18:13--> 00:18:15

you will feel ashamed to do.

00:18:16--> 00:18:18

But the words of the prophet are the

00:18:18--> 00:18:18

same

00:18:22--> 00:18:25

let the fear of God guide you wherever

00:18:25--> 00:18:26

you are.

00:18:27--> 00:18:28

And the fear of Allah

00:18:31--> 00:18:33

is part of holding on the

00:18:34--> 00:18:36

book. It's for that reason as we began

00:18:38--> 00:18:38

that

00:18:40--> 00:18:40

this book

00:18:42--> 00:18:43

don't doubt it.

00:18:45--> 00:18:47

It will guide but you have to seek

00:18:47--> 00:18:48

it with taqwa.

00:18:49--> 00:18:51

And the one who lacks that fear of

00:18:51--> 00:18:53

Allah, the one whose home is not guided

00:18:53--> 00:18:55

by the word of Allah, The one whose

00:18:55--> 00:18:58

home is absent from its reading and its

00:18:58--> 00:19:00

research and its study

00:19:00--> 00:19:01

lives in a graveyard

00:19:02--> 00:19:04

by the words of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi

00:19:04--> 00:19:05

wa sallam. He

00:19:10--> 00:19:10

says

00:19:16--> 00:19:18

It's like an abandoned home

00:19:19--> 00:19:20

or it is like a cemetery.

00:19:22--> 00:19:25

May Allah allow our connection to the Quran

00:19:25--> 00:19:27

culturally in the month of Ramadan

00:19:28--> 00:19:29

to extend beyond it.

00:19:30--> 00:19:32

That the month of Ramadan carries forward.

00:19:34--> 00:19:36

I'm a slave to God.

00:19:36--> 00:19:37

I know my place.

00:19:41--> 00:19:42

He's given me this book.

00:19:44--> 00:19:46

And he sent me as a prophet you

00:19:46--> 00:19:48

and Allah has sent you and I the

00:19:48--> 00:19:49

best of prophets.

00:19:58--> 00:20:00

Truly in the example

00:20:00--> 00:20:02

set for you by the prophet

00:20:03--> 00:20:05

is the most exemplar,

00:20:05--> 00:20:08

the most high, the most complete,

00:20:08--> 00:20:09

the most unadulterated,

00:20:10--> 00:20:11

the most unchanging

00:20:12--> 00:20:13

example of righteousness

00:20:14--> 00:20:16

and morality that you and I need.

00:20:20--> 00:20:21

And the one

00:20:21--> 00:20:23

who follows a path

00:20:25--> 00:20:27

and follow the pathway away from the Rasul

00:20:28--> 00:20:30

salallahu alaihi wa sallam brings

00:20:30--> 00:20:31

ruin to themselves.

00:20:32--> 00:20:34

Nqab warns in Surat Al Fufana

00:20:35--> 00:20:37

that on the day of judgment, people will

00:20:37--> 00:20:40

bite their hands with fear from what they

00:20:40--> 00:20:40

see.

00:20:46--> 00:20:47

Yeah.

00:20:48--> 00:20:50

I wish that I took a path with

00:20:50--> 00:20:52

the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

00:20:53--> 00:20:55

I wish I didn't walk

00:20:55--> 00:20:56

in this direction

00:20:56--> 00:20:57

away from Rasoolallahu

00:20:58--> 00:20:58

Alaihi Wasallam.

00:21:00--> 00:21:00

Yeah.

00:21:01--> 00:21:01

How

00:21:03--> 00:21:06

how fearful and wretched my condition is today.

00:21:07--> 00:21:11

To know Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam implies

00:21:11--> 00:21:13

that you are acquainted with Him more than

00:21:13--> 00:21:16

the skin and surface level.

00:21:17--> 00:21:19

The hearts of my

00:21:19--> 00:21:23

family and yours need to fall in love

00:21:23--> 00:21:26

with Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

00:21:26--> 00:21:28

The prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam warned you

00:21:28--> 00:21:29

and gives you a test.

00:21:31--> 00:21:32

That the one

00:21:33--> 00:21:34

who has not set

00:21:34--> 00:21:36

love for me in their life

00:21:37--> 00:21:39

more than the love they have for their

00:21:39--> 00:21:39

father

00:21:40--> 00:21:42

and their mother and their children

00:21:43--> 00:21:45

cannot have completed faith.

00:21:48--> 00:21:50

And the reason for that is the love,

00:21:50--> 00:21:52

it's not an emotional love. It's not you

00:21:52--> 00:21:55

sit and you cry and and and I

00:21:55--> 00:21:58

I miss Rasool Allah, alaihis salaam, alone. That

00:21:58--> 00:22:01

love is a love that is conditional to

00:22:01--> 00:22:01

obedience.

00:22:06--> 00:22:09

Say to those who claim they love God,

00:22:09--> 00:22:11

that they want to follow God and obey

00:22:11--> 00:22:13

the words of God. Those who claim to

00:22:13--> 00:22:15

be slaves of God,

00:22:16--> 00:22:18

then follow the path of the prophet

00:22:19--> 00:22:21

And the path of Rasulullah

00:22:22--> 00:22:25

SAWHAN is not as in this ayat, the

00:22:25--> 00:22:27

character and the only.

00:22:28--> 00:22:31

It is the belief of Rasulullah salallahu alaihi

00:22:31--> 00:22:32

wa sallam.

00:22:32--> 00:22:35

The prophet believed in Jahannam.

00:22:35--> 00:22:38

He believed that there was a punishment for

00:22:38--> 00:22:40

those who strayed from a path.

00:22:40--> 00:22:42

And many of us we forget

00:22:43--> 00:22:46

that raising our families simply with Allah who

00:22:46--> 00:22:49

loves us and Allah is merciful is not

00:22:49--> 00:22:49

enough.

00:22:53--> 00:22:55

All my slaves fear me.

00:22:59--> 00:23:02

A day where an infant his hair would

00:23:02--> 00:23:04

turn white if he witnessed

00:23:06--> 00:23:09

it. A day where mountains are scattered like

00:23:09--> 00:23:10

wool in the wind.

00:23:11--> 00:23:13

A day where you stand in front of

00:23:13--> 00:23:14

Allah.

00:23:16--> 00:23:18

All of your sins gathered

00:23:19--> 00:23:19

and known.

00:23:26--> 00:23:29

What is this book that has gathered everything

00:23:29--> 00:23:29

of my life?

00:23:35--> 00:23:38

Nothing large or minute except it's gathered.

00:23:41--> 00:23:43

And they see it in front of them.

00:23:46--> 00:23:48

And your goal will not wrong you,

00:23:49--> 00:23:50

but fear

00:23:53--> 00:23:54

Allah.

00:24:02--> 00:24:04

Allah has made me a source of Babaka.

00:24:04--> 00:24:06

The Babaka of Isa, a, e, salam

00:24:07--> 00:24:09

was that he was one who could answer

00:24:09--> 00:24:12

the questions, And you could see that Allah

00:24:12--> 00:24:13

has given us the Quran

00:24:14--> 00:24:16

asked us to fear Him and to obey

00:24:16--> 00:24:18

Him and to follow the Quran and to

00:24:18--> 00:24:20

follow the nabi. And then from that moment

00:24:21--> 00:24:23

on, to seek, to learn, and to be

00:24:23--> 00:24:26

acquainted with the details of our deen.

00:24:29--> 00:24:31

And that leads us to a salah wazakam.

00:24:32--> 00:24:35

And I end before hutzba the first hutzba,

00:24:37--> 00:24:40

With the discussion with you about salah

00:24:40--> 00:24:42

that for you and I, at times when

00:24:42--> 00:24:44

we look distant to us,

00:24:49--> 00:24:50

My dear brother, my dear sister,

00:24:51--> 00:24:52

O slave of Allah,

00:24:53--> 00:24:55

you and I, we write endless messages.

00:24:56--> 00:24:58

We are watching endless videos.

00:24:59--> 00:25:00

We are concerned

00:25:00--> 00:25:03

and our heart bleeds and our eyes fear

00:25:03--> 00:25:05

for our brothers and sisters who are away

00:25:05--> 00:25:08

from us in Gaza and Philistine and the

00:25:08--> 00:25:10

Rohingya and the Uyghur and all parts of

00:25:10--> 00:25:11

the world.

00:25:12--> 00:25:12

But

00:25:16--> 00:25:19

Allah who none we worship but Him you

00:25:19--> 00:25:22

will not be asked about any of

00:25:22--> 00:25:24

it until you're asked about your salah first.

00:25:28--> 00:25:30

The first thing

00:25:30--> 00:25:32

you will be asked about on the day

00:25:32--> 00:25:33

of judgement,

00:25:33--> 00:25:35

give as much charity as you give.

00:25:36--> 00:25:39

Cry as much as you cry. March all

00:25:39--> 00:25:39

your life.

00:25:43--> 00:25:45

But if your sadaa you have the law

00:25:45--> 00:25:46

is not in order.

00:25:49--> 00:25:50

The first thing

00:25:51--> 00:25:53

you will be asked about for you and

00:25:53--> 00:25:54

your wife and your children.

00:25:59--> 00:26:01

Allah accepts it if it's complete, if it's

00:26:01--> 00:26:02

healthy.

00:26:04--> 00:26:07

You will be able to go through the

00:26:07--> 00:26:08

other difficulties.

00:26:11--> 00:26:12

Let your eyes

00:26:13--> 00:26:14

look inward.

00:26:16--> 00:26:19

Find yourself at attention in front of Allah.

00:26:22--> 00:26:24

Stand in front of Allah with humility.

00:26:26--> 00:26:27

Fill the masajid.

00:26:27--> 00:26:28

Fill the Jumar.

00:26:29--> 00:26:31

Take time from your work.

00:26:31--> 00:26:33

Take time for your family.

00:26:33--> 00:26:37

Walk to the masjid. Every step raises a

00:26:37--> 00:26:39

level in Jannah. Takes away a Sayyya.

00:26:41--> 00:26:44

And know that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is

00:26:44--> 00:26:44

merciful.

00:26:45--> 00:26:46

As salah

00:26:46--> 00:26:47

was Zakat.

00:26:49--> 00:26:50

Because as much as

00:26:51--> 00:26:53

we seek, we have obligations to each other.

00:26:54--> 00:26:56

And don't confuse me by,

00:26:57--> 00:26:59

you know, thinking that I'm telling you to

00:26:59--> 00:27:00

ignore your brothers.

00:27:01--> 00:27:03

What will be your wealth? A share of

00:27:03--> 00:27:05

it must be the roof of those who

00:27:05--> 00:27:06

have no roof.

00:27:07--> 00:27:09

And the wealth that you earn must be

00:27:09--> 00:27:11

food that you feed hungry people away from

00:27:11--> 00:27:12

you.

00:27:13--> 00:27:15

Some of your barakah that Allah has given

00:27:15--> 00:27:17

you needs to be the bandages and medicine

00:27:17--> 00:27:20

and burn creeds for those who cannot provide

00:27:20--> 00:27:20

it themselves.

00:27:22--> 00:27:25

So everything you have has a haft.

00:27:25--> 00:27:26

The prophet

00:27:26--> 00:27:28

said for every joint

00:27:28--> 00:27:30

that a human being has, for every bone,

00:27:31--> 00:27:31

360

00:27:32--> 00:27:34

he counts in our joints

00:27:35--> 00:27:37

There is a sadaqa that is due every

00:27:37--> 00:27:38

day.

00:27:39--> 00:27:42

I'm not saying the dollar for every joint,

00:27:42--> 00:27:45

but there is an act of charity that

00:27:45--> 00:27:46

you must give.

00:27:46--> 00:27:48

There is something that must be done for

00:27:48--> 00:27:49

other than yourself.

00:27:51--> 00:27:52

It has to go beyond you.

00:27:54--> 00:27:55

Even if it is

00:27:57--> 00:27:59

just a smile that you give to somebody

00:27:59--> 00:28:00

who is

00:28:01--> 00:28:03

and I pray that Allah Subhanahu WA Ta'ala

00:28:04--> 00:28:06

allows us to take examples of the people

00:28:06--> 00:28:07

of the past

00:28:08--> 00:28:10

and to bring them into our contemporary life.

00:28:11--> 00:28:13

My dear brother, my dear sister, bring your

00:28:13--> 00:28:14

family close.

00:28:14--> 00:28:16

Bring your children close.

00:28:17--> 00:28:18

Smother them with your love.

00:28:19--> 00:28:20

Smother them with your care.

00:28:21--> 00:28:23

Spend on them its charity.

00:28:24--> 00:28:27

Spending on your wife and gifting your wife

00:28:27--> 00:28:29

and buying her for some something she loves

00:28:29--> 00:28:30

is a charity.

00:28:33--> 00:28:34

As the most baraka.

00:28:37--> 00:28:39

It's where a man buys his wife, his

00:28:39--> 00:28:40

family something.

00:28:42--> 00:28:42

Give

00:28:43--> 00:28:44

and love and hold together

00:28:46--> 00:28:49

and hold on to the difficult things that

00:28:49--> 00:28:51

we experience together as a community.

00:28:52--> 00:28:54

And know that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,

00:28:56--> 00:28:59

That Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is insurmountable

00:29:00--> 00:29:01

and undefeatable

00:29:01--> 00:29:03

and He is the one who has promised

00:29:03--> 00:29:04

to protect Islam

00:29:05--> 00:29:08

but Muslims need to protect themselves with Islam

00:29:09--> 00:29:12

May Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, honor us with

00:29:12--> 00:29:12

the Quran.

00:29:13--> 00:29:15

May Allah honor our children with the love

00:29:15--> 00:29:17

of the Prophet, salAllahu alayhi, send them in

00:29:17--> 00:29:17

its obedience.

00:29:18--> 00:29:20

May Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, carry us forward

00:29:20--> 00:29:24

in assisting ourselves and our communities to achieving

00:29:24--> 00:29:24

betterment

00:29:25--> 00:29:25

for our own,

00:29:27--> 00:29:28

pray that Allah

00:29:28--> 00:29:31

protects our schools and institutions and masajid.

00:29:32--> 00:29:32

That Allah

00:29:33--> 00:29:36

fills them with righteous hearts and people who

00:29:36--> 00:29:38

are generous in spending upon them. I pray

00:29:38--> 00:29:39

that Allah

00:29:40--> 00:29:42

forgives us what we know and what we

00:29:42--> 00:29:44

don't know, forgives us the small and the

00:29:44--> 00:29:47

large, and makes us from those who are

00:29:47--> 00:29:49

a support and to those who are distant

00:29:49--> 00:29:51

from us. May Allah

00:29:51--> 00:29:53

aid our brothers who are unable to aid

00:29:53--> 00:29:54

themselves.

00:30:28--> 00:30:30

Acts of worship in the month of Ramadan.

00:30:31--> 00:30:32

The prophet, salallahu

00:30:32--> 00:30:35

alaihi wasallam, was one who was always first

00:30:43--> 00:30:45

I've been ordered to be the 1st to

00:30:45--> 00:30:47

submit myself to Allah.

00:30:47--> 00:30:48

My prayer that Allah

00:30:49--> 00:30:51

puts that energy in our heart that you

00:30:51--> 00:30:52

and I want to be the 1st to

00:30:52--> 00:30:53

submit,

00:30:53--> 00:30:56

the first in prayer, the first in mind,

00:30:56--> 00:30:57

the first in charity,

00:30:58--> 00:31:00

the one who people follow after us, so

00:31:00--> 00:31:03

he gave the reward of everyone inspired by

00:31:03--> 00:31:05

us. And such the umrah of the prophet,

00:31:05--> 00:31:07

shayate, wasalam, in all of its book becomes

00:31:08--> 00:31:10

a scale for the prophet, suballahu alaihi wa

00:31:10--> 00:31:12

sallam, on the day of judgment.

00:31:12--> 00:31:14

Three things that the prophet

00:31:15--> 00:31:16

linked together with fasting,

00:31:17--> 00:31:19

that perhaps they could be a benefit to

00:31:19--> 00:31:21

you and I in this final,

00:31:22--> 00:31:24

13 or 14 days of the month of

00:31:24--> 00:31:25

Ramadan.

00:31:26--> 00:31:27

1st, Allah

00:31:28--> 00:31:28

has linked

00:31:33--> 00:31:35

Make time for the Quran even if you

00:31:35--> 00:31:36

stutter in it.

00:31:36--> 00:31:37

And I say

00:31:38--> 00:31:39

even if you stutter in it because it

00:31:39--> 00:31:41

gives you double the reward. 1 for the

00:31:41--> 00:31:44

reading and one for the struggle of reading

00:31:44--> 00:31:45

when difficult.

00:31:46--> 00:31:49

1 for reading and one for the struggle

00:31:49--> 00:31:52

of reading. Lahu ajuran, twice the reward, double

00:31:52--> 00:31:53

the amount,

00:31:53--> 00:31:56

2 times by the order of the prophet

00:31:56--> 00:31:58

salallahu alaihi wa sallam. And every measure, the

00:31:58--> 00:32:01

asheri, and the I had, every measure is

00:32:01--> 00:32:02

multiplied by 10.

00:32:03--> 00:32:05

The prophet, salallahu alaihi wa sallam, said,

00:32:18--> 00:32:20

Oh Allah, I kept him from eating and

00:32:20--> 00:32:23

drinking and their spells during the day. And

00:32:23--> 00:32:24

the Quran was saying

00:32:25--> 00:32:28

I kept him awake in Tawiyyah and reading

00:32:28--> 00:32:30

at night. Allah, masha fear if he, oh

00:32:30--> 00:32:34

Allah, allow me to push away the punishment

00:32:34--> 00:32:34

of genuine.

00:32:36--> 00:32:39

The second act that you and I find

00:32:39--> 00:32:40

linked by the prophet

00:32:40--> 00:32:41

is

00:32:42--> 00:32:45

being extra charitable. And as a demanding, he

00:32:45--> 00:32:46

said,

00:32:48--> 00:32:49

the prophet was always generous.

00:32:51--> 00:32:52

But his greatest

00:32:52--> 00:32:54

generosity was in the month of Ramadan.

00:32:55--> 00:32:57

It was like a a tornado

00:32:57--> 00:32:59

that moved through in Madinah

00:32:59--> 00:33:02

spreading its barakah everywhere, subhanahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:33:03--> 00:33:06

The prophet, subhanahu alaihi wa sallam, said

00:33:11--> 00:33:13

fasting is your shield. It will protect me.

00:33:14--> 00:33:17

But charity that other people are unaware

00:33:18--> 00:33:19

of extinguishes

00:33:19--> 00:33:23

Allah's anger cannot hold people mad the way

00:33:23--> 00:33:25

water poured and fire puts it out.

00:33:26--> 00:33:29

Cleanse your home with charity. Cleanse your illness

00:33:29--> 00:33:30

with charity.

00:33:30--> 00:33:33

Then put put a shield and a shading

00:33:33--> 00:33:36

for yourself from the heat of sin

00:33:36--> 00:33:37

with your charity.

00:33:38--> 00:33:41

And 3rd and finally, the prophet, salallahu alaihi,

00:33:41--> 00:33:42

who wasalam, said,

00:33:42--> 00:33:43

manpahaha

00:33:45--> 00:33:47

the one who stands before Allah every night

00:33:47--> 00:33:48

in Ramadan,

00:33:48--> 00:33:50

even if you could make it to the

00:33:50--> 00:33:51

after

00:33:51--> 00:33:52

Isha.

00:33:54--> 00:33:55

Don't go to sleep until you had a

00:33:55--> 00:33:56

share, even 2

00:33:59--> 00:34:00

If that's all, you know, I'm getting that.

00:34:01--> 00:34:04

Do not miss a night with Allah Subhanahu

00:34:04--> 00:34:06

Wa Ta'ala. And if there's anything that is

00:34:06--> 00:34:07

missed, double your energy.

00:34:08--> 00:34:10

Don't miss the rest.

00:34:20--> 00:34:21

Their sins are forgiven.

00:34:23--> 00:34:26

Another chance. The one who stands in the

00:34:26--> 00:34:27

night of Adah,

00:34:27--> 00:34:29

which is in the final 10 days of

00:34:29--> 00:34:29

Ramadan,

00:34:30--> 00:34:32

with iman and with knowledge that Allah will

00:34:32--> 00:34:34

reward them. Their sins are forgiven.

00:34:37--> 00:34:38

And Allah links the qiyaam

00:34:39--> 00:34:41

by day, by night, and the fasting by

00:34:41--> 00:34:43

day in the Hadith,

00:34:43--> 00:34:46

where he shows us that each of them

00:34:46--> 00:34:49

are 2 halves that complement each other. May

00:34:49--> 00:34:51

Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, give you and I

00:34:51--> 00:34:53

the strength to maintain

00:34:53--> 00:34:56

with energy and health our prayers at home

00:34:56--> 00:34:58

are in the maljid within preference,

00:34:59--> 00:35:02

For our brothers and sisters, do not miss

00:35:02--> 00:35:03

the nights of Ramadan.

00:35:03--> 00:35:05

May Allah give us elevation.

00:35:05--> 00:35:07

And I end with this beautiful hadith of

00:35:07--> 00:35:08

the prophet

00:35:12--> 00:35:14

The nobility of the believer

00:35:14--> 00:35:15

on the day of judgment

00:35:16--> 00:35:18

is their night prayer. You know all of

00:35:18--> 00:35:20

us we like to be known for something

00:35:20--> 00:35:22

good on the day of judgment. The only

00:35:22--> 00:35:24

thing that people say, oh, look at this

00:35:24--> 00:35:26

man. What a good what a good woman

00:35:26--> 00:35:27

It's

00:35:27--> 00:35:28

their.

00:35:29--> 00:35:31

It's what Allah knows of you that others

00:35:31--> 00:35:33

don't. It's what Allah sees of you that

00:35:33--> 00:35:35

others don't. It's what Allah

00:35:36--> 00:35:36

takes

00:35:37--> 00:35:39

of your reward and gives you what you

00:35:39--> 00:35:41

could not ever imagine. And may Allah give

00:35:41--> 00:35:43

us the reward of the blessed month of

00:35:43--> 00:35:44

Ramadan

00:36:18--> 00:36:20

Allah. We are the sons of your slave.

00:36:21--> 00:36:23

Our mothers are slaves to you, Allah.

00:36:25--> 00:36:27

Whatever you decide for us is just, You

00:37:01--> 00:37:03

We ask you for your love, You Allah.

00:37:04--> 00:37:06

And the love of those who love You,

00:37:06--> 00:37:06

You Allah.

00:38:13--> 00:38:16

Humble yourself to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:38:18--> 00:38:20

Consider this could be a final prayer for

00:38:20--> 00:38:21

all of us.

00:45:03--> 00:45:05

Just some closing announcements in chat log.

00:45:07--> 00:45:08

Next week,

00:45:08--> 00:45:11

Saturday, not tonight, next week in

00:45:11--> 00:45:12

we have our annual

00:45:14--> 00:45:14

Alhamdulillah,

00:45:15--> 00:45:17

this is a tradition that we've carried on

00:45:17--> 00:45:19

for nearly 10 years, mashaAllah.

00:45:20--> 00:45:21

It also coincidentally

00:45:21--> 00:45:24

is our 20 year anniversary

00:45:24--> 00:45:25

for Al Amin College,

00:45:26--> 00:45:29

formerly Langford Islamic College. May Allah grant many

00:45:29--> 00:45:31

more years of success, Al Amin.

00:45:32--> 00:45:35

We did put out for families at our

00:45:35--> 00:45:38

school and community members a link to register

00:45:38--> 00:45:40

so we can estimate how many people are

00:45:40--> 00:45:43

with us. And so, in the first 24

00:45:43--> 00:45:44

hours, 1500

00:45:45--> 00:45:46

spots were already assured.

00:45:47--> 00:45:48

So what we have done

00:45:48--> 00:45:51

is that we've also ordered food trucks and

00:45:51--> 00:45:53

other things so that there is less pressure.

00:45:54--> 00:45:56

And in inshallah, the weather is nice. We're

00:45:56--> 00:45:58

going to all have a wonderful picnic in

00:45:58--> 00:46:01

the mobile. There'll be chairs. It'll be well

00:46:01--> 00:46:03

linked. It'll be a beautiful experience for you

00:46:03--> 00:46:04

and your families.

00:46:04--> 00:46:05

So if you have not registered,

00:46:06--> 00:46:08

bring your Iqbar with you or buy from

00:46:08--> 00:46:10

the food trucks or bring something to share

00:46:10--> 00:46:12

with others as well

00:46:12--> 00:46:14

Bring your picnic mats if you don't want

00:46:14--> 00:46:16

the hard plastic chairs. Personally, I prefer the

00:46:16--> 00:46:18

ground, but that's up to you

00:46:19--> 00:46:22

it will be a beautiful atmosphere, and then

00:46:22--> 00:46:23

we will have our with

00:46:23--> 00:46:24

our yarviyang

00:46:24--> 00:46:27

kafal as special dua in Arabic by Sheikh

00:46:27--> 00:46:30

Muntis al Mensee, and one in English inshallah

00:46:30--> 00:46:33

over the end of the month, 10 days

00:46:33--> 00:46:33

of Ramadan.

00:46:35--> 00:46:36

We look forward to celebrating

00:46:37--> 00:46:39

our faith and our community and our school

00:46:39--> 00:46:39

with you.

00:46:44--> 00:46:47

There's also a fitra box that the school

00:46:47--> 00:46:48

has placed downstairs.

00:46:48--> 00:46:50

I'm not in charge of where the money

00:46:50--> 00:46:52

goes. I know that the board,

00:46:52--> 00:46:54

they have a particular charitable project,

00:46:55--> 00:46:56

but that is for Fintra

00:46:56--> 00:46:59

for the well, even a little bit early

00:46:59--> 00:47:00

on time.

00:46:59--> 00:47:00

on time.
