Always and forever, we begin with the praise
of Allah. We send now our prayers of
peace for our nabi Muhammad
We testify with firmness and conviction nah is
worthy of worship on Allah at the wajalli,
and that our Nabi Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa
sallam is worshiping slave and final messenger.
I continue to remind myself and you of
Nakumma
and that is that we seek to love
Allah
while
we fear Allah
and while we never lose hope in his
eternal mercy in equal measure.
We pray that Allah
means our final days the best
and that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala accepts the
little that we do and magnifies
it in our scale.
We pray that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala forgives
us our past, our present, and what we
may in the future.
We pray that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
hides our shame and sinfulness,
not just in this dunya but in the
afiro.
When secrets are made
better than what it is we seek to
show each other in our alamiyah
and public life.
As ayatullah makes
you and I the people of the Quran.
When others slumber and sleep.
I pray that Allah
makes us
submitters
and surrenderers
to him.
In these 2 minutes in Shammabob, we seek
to pursue Jannah.
Jannah. My dear brothers and sisters is restricted.
Even Muhammad,
the doors of Jannah are not open until
he arrives.
The doors of Jahannam are open waiting. Halmi
Nazeem, who else
can enter?
How many more can I receive?
Beckons and calls and seeks out the sinful
of heart and
fact. But the gates of Genya
are closed
and the beginning of your pursuit, my pursuit,
our pursuit of Jannah begins with that,
It is
a.
The door that unlocks
your access
to an eternality
of comfort
in resonance with the almighty of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
And you and I as we sit together
and I speak to you as I seek
to reflect upon my own mortality
and the nearness of your return to to
Allah
is a process that leads you and I
to reevaluate
decisions
and thoughts and actions.
Decisions,
thoughts,
and actions.
Decisions are things you and I are culpable
for, accountable for.
And as we say
by necessity,
it means you have to make difficult
decisions. That there are things your heart needs
to, that your mind and your body seek
and crave, that maybe in the very carnal
depth of your desire, that your iman, nayla,
hayim Allah, said, aslam tudida. I seek to
be submitting to Allah. And what Allah said
is more than what I seek.
And what Allah ordered is more than what
I want to perform.
And what Allah prohibited comes before what I
desire.
Ibrahim alaihis salam,
he said Ibrahim
alaihis
salam,
he said,
I've surrendered
myself.
See, the word Islam when we speak about
peace, it it doesn't come
as as peace in the beginning. It comes
as
The peace that Islam symbolizes
is not a peacefulness of the dunya. It
is a submission of Allah to attain the
peace that you will ultimately see.
The life of the Prophet
was a life of endeavor and hard work.
Whatever trouble you sit with me today in
your heart,
on your shoulder,
in the back of your mind,
There's a transmission.
The neighbor always has something occupying his mind.
Life is not just simple.
Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wa sallam looked towards the
challenge of life as an opportunity of submission
to Allah.
It's easy to say
when we perceive that Allah has given us
what we see.
Being a common.
When Allah makes a change in what you
think you want, what you think you deserve,
what you think everybody else has, why should
I not have the same? Why can I
not be as comfortable as this one?
Why is Allah not giving me? I pray
and I ask that this person who doesn't
has a comfortable life. Why am I told
you that I
everything they desire.
And that man, and that woman, and that
elder, and that child is firmly established in
sin.
Know that it is not a sign of
Allah's comfort for him, but it is Allah
slowly bringing them to question
for what they have done and
the opportunities they have wasted.
And when Allah finally holds them,
Allah will not let them go.
May Allah protect you and I
of the deception of thinking that the comforts
we've been provided
are a sign of Allah's love for us
when we know in our hearts we are
distant from him.
Many of us struggled with what we saw
on our small screens,
with the people of Gaza.
As you woke up and if you woke
up and as you slept, you would consume
images.
1 of the names of Allah, one of
the attributes of Allah
that I began to read more about was
Al Latif.
Sometimes you would look at that screen and
you would see that young orphan
child,
*,
hunger,
homeless,
remaining in harm's way. Can you say, Spamalow,
can you chip what is your iPad? Where
are they gonna go? Who will look after
them?
If you look at Yusuf Ali Salam,
the day his own family kidnapped him, sold
him into
religion.
If you witness Yusuf under the assault of
a woman who sought to control every aspect
of his life,
Oh, that inept man who hid his shame
and her shame.
If you saw those who gathered around it
falsely
witnessing for him to be imprisoned,
You would say, what future does this child
have?
You would not, as you saw his brother,
have ever assumed that Yusuf would be the
economic minister of the greatest superpower of his
time.
You would not ever assume that a man
jailed falsely
accused of crime,
of what would be considered indecency
and fraudulent,
that he would be given a platform next
to a
king. Allah
is subtle
in the change he brings.
Allah asks you
to pursue the jannah.
He asks
you. Allah invites you to the place that
will give you peace.
Allah says come.
Allah invites
you to
to the acceptance of
Muhammad
aspect of difficulty
and success that you would ever receive in
life was displayed in him.
And in his final breath as he laid
down
in moments of his death where he would
say
Surely, there is pain in the moments of
death.
Allah Allah calls you
to submit
to.
There are 3 messages
that I wish to connect
in my heart and yours today.
One of the shortest paths to get
jinnah.
The shortest path to jinnah, and the first
thing that you will be asked about on
the day of judgement is your salah.
As
many prayers as you made in your past
and as regular you are in your salah,
and as much as you assume and I
assume that we are connected to Allah, we
have to to Allah, our salat is with
Allah. There is room for improvement.
There is room for improvement in your there
is room
There is room in improvement in your.
There is room in improvement in what parts
of the Quran you recite and seek to
understand.
There is room for improvement in the meaning
of your tasbih as you say,
There is layers of depth in salah that
there are times absent from myself and you
due to some of the complexities of the
nature of our modern life.
The prophet Isaiah said that the first thing
that would be lost
after my return to Allah would be that
humidity
in salah. That's for sure with
I always
knew. I know that I have.
Allah will treat me well. Jannah will be
my place for you and I, my brothers.
Later,
that you find humility between you and Allah.
The first message
is my brother, my sister in an
give more attention.
Wake up that minute before it.
Make your wudu a little bit more special.
Give a little bit more concern which is
what I say in my salah. What is
the dua that I begin my prayer with
and what does it mean and how does
it connect me to aqal?
Your isi'a that would ask me to Allah
to protect you from the shaytan is not
it's intentional before you read the. What is
it
What does it mean and why did the
prophet teach it?
The moment I conclude with salaam, why am
I asking for forgiveness?
I know I could have prayed better, oh
Allah. I know I could be more connected
to you, oh Allah. Allah,
the next time let me remember you better.
2 is love.
And at least narrative that Imam Abu Fari,
the prophet said
that
an obligation to be received
upon those who love others for me.
Sometimes we misunderstand this alif. We think it's
to love those who are lovable. I love
my father and my brother and my sisters
and my
wife and my children. Yeah. It goes more.
And
that
you love for another what you would love
for yourself.
And that you love for an unlovable person
who does not love you in return, what
you would love them because Allah commanded it.
SubhanAllah,
there are people in my life, people in
your life who Allah says you are commanding
to show them levels of love. And whether
I like it or not,
whether my heart desires it or not, whether
it is reciprocated
in return or not.
I want the love of Allah.
When you show mercy, the ever merciful will
show you mercy. Even though that person would
not show me mercy.
Alaihi wa sallam to the people that he
said is happening. Oh, about your day.
Said. We go back to Yusuf.
One of the lessons of being wronged in
life
and being oppressed in life
is that you learn the bitterness of what
it feels so you become softer
with those who have done it in a
way that you can help them reform and
come back to truth.
May Allah open our hearts to others so
Allah will open the doors of genmetul.
After
I will speak of the 3rd and final
where you and I can find comfort
in our pursuit of.
3rd and finally
is to never
give up hope.
To imagine.
Imagine your nesir,
your father
was
Abu Ghidijah.
When the prophet enters Mecca
on the day of Fatih,
a griman takes people and hides in the
mountain and says, I will never I will
always go to war against Muhammad's side.
The prophet
The prophets of Allah said to the Let
none of you
who follow
ever refer to a as
Don't ever besmirch his name by saying he's
not a believer yet.
Don't ever call him, this is Rehclaima, the
son of Abu Jadim.
Rather call him the son
of Abu Haqqan, which was his preferred and
then of wisdom.
When they came to the base of the
mountaintop that Ikrimah was upon, they called out
to him using
a proper title. Not Not saying,
come down.
You son of Abu Jafnu, wait. Come. Come.
Muhammad is here suballahu alaihi wa sallam.
They say, hey, man.
Rasulullah suballahu alaihi wa sallam invites.
He said, sir, man,
Muhammad called me with this name. And
We give his life for Rasulullah Subhana
Wa Salam.
3rd, my dear brother, is always put in
your heart
that empathetic perspective
that there is always hope for yourself and
others to become better than they are today
and better than they were yesterday.
The existence of others through Allah
is more important than proving yourselves right in
a moment of time. And with your children,
with the surrounding
assault that at times we find ourselves in,
you will find greater favor with your home
and with your family and with your husband
and with your wife and with your husband
and with your wife and with your ancestors
Yeah. And with your future generations,
when you have the mentality
of calling to Allah and calling them to
the way of submission to Allah in a
way that is countable
and tasty to them, you are going to
receive more with honey than vinegar.
You will be more attractive to the sunnah
of the prophet with
mercy and leniency
than you are with sternness and hardship.
And having a psychology of redemption where a
person
where they know that Allah
His mercy
encompasses all things.
Nobody has turned away from Yemen unless they
say I do not want to enter.
I conclude that I need to be a
Imam Hussein.
The prophet said,
could
Everyone from my nation will enter genocide.
Say, I don't want to go.
Said
that,
the one who follows
in my step, obeys me, in my conduct,
in my intentions, in my thoughts, in my
dreams, in my habits, in my actions.
The
one
who contributes
me, the one who opposes
me, the one who chooses
to do
contrary and in opposition to what I will
send
you. However,
has said, I do not want a place
in Jannah.
May Allah make us of those who choose
Muhammad
May Allah fill your homes with the love
of Allah.
And may Allah fill our hearts with Allah's
love for us.
Oh Allah, I ask you for your love.
You, You Allah. And the love of the
deeds that will bring me closer to your
love, You Allah. May Allah give us his
love and his light in our hearts and
in our holies.
May Allah turn our hearts towards him and
not away from you. May Allah make our
final words
in
the
because
we lived according to its meaning and its
action. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala send these
choices, blessings of peace,
and prosperity on upon our liberty
Oh Allah, we ask you to send peace
and security upon the people of Azem, Rafa'a.
Allah. They are weak, and you are their
sister strength, you Allah. Oh Allah, they are
hungry, and you are their source of prosperity,
you Allah. Oh Allah, Use us for that
which is good for them, and protect us
from wrong and harm, You Allah.
