			Sir Lemoore Allah hi guys ain LM D
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:16
			Salah more I mean of automaticity
Allah say Eden or Mowlana Muhammad
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:21
			and early he will Sahabi he was
salam edge main Subhanak Allah al
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:26
			Melina LMI Lambton and Nick Canton
Alima Hakeem What are hola what a
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:31
			quarter illa biLlah here earlier
all the hamdulillah from the
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:36
			bounty of Allah subhanho wa Taala
he has caused our ears to hear his
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:40
			remembrance subhanho wa Taala and
to hear the phrases of our Prophet
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:46
			Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, and nothing is more
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:51
			therapeutic for the heart than
here to hear the name of the
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:55
			beloved Salallahu Salam. I
remember our teachers one time
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:59
			we're just reflecting on the
blessing name Mohamed, Satan and
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:03
			Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, and they just kept
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:07
			repeating it. And then they would
ask the question, isn't that name
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			sweet, and then they would keep
repeating it. And they would say,
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:13
			Isn't that name sweet, and they
will keep repeating it. This is
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:17
			the affair of the believer. Every
time that we mentioned the
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:22
			blessing name of Satan at OSU Lila
we should be filled with love. And
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:26
			if we have love in our heart that
love will trigger in the heart,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:31
			these beautiful feelings. And
these beautiful experiences, as
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:35
			seen heavy on my says in his
bullet will lie swearing an oath
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39
			by Allah. Now looking at a hobby
bullet in my head. Never is the
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:44
			beloved mentioned to by the lover
in low all the high Awali and
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:50
			nashwan Except that he will be
filled with very deep love of our
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:54
			blessed Prophet sallallahu alayhi
salam, and that love is an
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:59
			antidote, and it is an elixir. And
that love is what allows us to be
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:03
			able to get through this world,
with all of its tests, with all of
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			his trials, with all of its
calamities, with all of his
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:09
			tribulation with all of his
difficulties with all of its
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:13
			hardship, everything that is that
we experience, what helps us
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:17
			navigate all of that is the love
that we have for the Rasulullah
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:21
			sallallahu alayhi salam, which is
one of the most foundational in
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25
			most important reasons that we
have gatherings like this on a
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:30
			weekly basis is so that that love
that you and I all have by virtue
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			of being believers is that it
becomes more profound is that it
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:38
			gets deeper is that it goes from
knowing in our minds that we
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:43
			should love and of course every
believer has love to having that
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:48
			transfer to penetrate the depth of
our being. And one of the things
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:53
			that our teachers also used to say
is that their relationship with us
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:58
			is one of preparing to be with the
Prophet and his companions and his
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:02
			inheritors, and those who love Him
in the orchestra. This is the
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:06
			reality, the more that we do this,
and come together on a weekly
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:10
			basis, but then everything else
that contains this meaning outside
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:14
			of this specific time that we
dedicate to this, the more that
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17
			you and I that when we are going
to take our last breath will
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:21
			resemble the state of Satan and
Bilal rod yellow Tara and hoo hoo
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:25
			for him. It was a meeting with his
beloved, what he was thinking
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:29
			about was Satan and Mohamed, where
his BA, he was thinking about
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32
			meeting the Prophet salallahu
Alaihe Salam and his companions,
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:37
			those who stood by his side, those
that believed in him and died on
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			that blessing a man and we're
honored to have been in the
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			blessed presence of the Rasul
Allah, Allah, Allah, they were it
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:47
			was Abu Salam. And I want to just
highlight because we read this on
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:52
			a weekly basis. And just to touch
very briefly upon these different
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:57
			chapters that we recite, and what
it is that they contain. So we
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:01
			start by saying yada yada,
Muhammad. And then if you look at
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04
			what is mentioned, after that,
there's different ways of praising
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:08
			the prophesy centum, you are
pointing out there's a mention of
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:12
			his various virtues just as there
are very blessed supplications
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:18
			that are made. And then we recite
verses of the Quran. That point
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:22
			out again, the great stature of
our Prophet salallahu alayhi
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:27
			salatu salam, and that point to
the importance of sending
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:31
			satellites upon him, and then when
we get into the four chapters that
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:37
			lead up to the standing, the first
chapter is there to motivate us
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:41
			and to stir within us. The love
for little soul sold a lot out is
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44
			I'd be setting them amongst many
other wisdoms and many other
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:49
			meanings. And then in the second
chapter that we recite, then this
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:53
			is about the Prophet saw the
license, true nature and reality
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:58
			that of light. We have a word that
he there's a mentioning that He is
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			the light Salalah there
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			Addis Ababa Salam, and then that
we learned a little bit about his
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:08
			ancestry. And then again, that
some of what took place before the
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:12
			prophesy sent him in the third
state in the third chapter, about
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:15
			the covenant that Allah to Allah
took what the previous prophets
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:19
			and so forth and so on. And then
in the fourth chapter, that we
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:23
			have a mention of the bus of
lineage of the Prophet sallallahu
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:26
			Sallam until we get to the
standing, which is really where I
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:30
			wanted to focus. And so once the
Prophet entered into this world,
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:35
			thanks transformed by virtue of
him entering into this world, and
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:41
			even though that he Salalah alayhi
salam was a profit before Adam was
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:44
			even created. And there's multiple
narrations of various degrees of
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:48
			authenticity that point to that he
was a prophet before Adam was
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:53
			created. Aileen salatu, salam,
salatu salam. And then when our
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:58
			Prophet emerged into this world,
things change because now is that
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:01
			there's the inner meaning combined
with the outward form entering
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:07
			into the world. And there's a
great wisdom and just as he was
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:11
			the Imam, and baited mocked us in
Jerusalem on the night of late
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14
			Raj, when he led the other
prophets and messengers, likewise
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:18
			is that his Deen Leo's Harada de
Nicola, is it It must be
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:22
			manifested over all other
religions. And so that his deen is
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:26
			Nasik that it abrogates the
previous religions that came
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:30
			before it, so what a blessing to
be associated with the Prophets
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			Allah Allah Allah God Siva salaam,
Salam. So then when we do the
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:38
			standing to honor our blessing
Prophet sallallahu sallam, and we
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:42
			learn about the prophets
emergence, and we welcome him and
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46
			we learn a little bit about what
happens when he was born, Salah ly
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:50
			sent him but then in the it's
split into four parts. But the
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:55
			last two lines of the four of the
first part is that it all of a
		
00:06:55 --> 00:07:00
			sudden goes forward to the hotshot
which is the resurrection and the
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:03
			gathering. The bath is the
resurrection, the hashCode is the
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:10
			gathering. So we learn in this is
that the blessing of the prophesy
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:15
			centum in terms of really the
beginning of creation, but his
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:18
			beginning, and then all of a
sudden to where we're all going to
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:22
			end, which is we're all going to
be standing before Allah subhanaw
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:27
			taala Yokoyama, we're all going to
be standing before Allah and what
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:31
			is say to heavy on more say and to
fill hatchery, Malathion is that
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:37
			you will be a refuge on the Day of
Judgment like a colon hulky
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:43
			toughsat. All of creation will
anxiously seek refuge in you. They
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:47
			will all go to you. Were you not
doing a thorough market, the
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:51
			Hammond Harlan of law, they
addressed you saying Do you see
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:55
			what has be fallen us of
unspeakable terror.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:02
			And then that we learn what's
going to happen to in that moment
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:07
			on Yom Okayama it is our Prophet
slicin him only he will be
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:10
			permitted to speak by ALLAH
SubhanA wa Tada. You can just
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:15
			imagine this smoke of where every
human being who's ever lived on
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:19
			the face of this earth is
standing. And there's only one
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:25
			person that is going to be
permitted to speak only one. Only
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:29
			little Sol Sol Allah I doubt is
abuse syndrome. This is a reality,
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32
			every single human being, whether
they believe in it, or whether
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:38
			they deny it will experience
everyone will witness us and only
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:42
			he will be given permission to
speak and that he will prostrate
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:46
			beneath the throne SallAllahu
sallam, and it will be said to him
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:50
			to lift your head and to ask and
you will be given seek
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:54
			intercession and you will be
granted intercession and then our
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55
			province allies and and will
intercede
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:00
			for us while we're experiencing
the most difficult day that we've
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:05
			ever experienced, ever, and then
it is what are the wisdoms then
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:09
			now as we transition into the
third part of the standing? Now
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:13
			it's a matter of seeking
forgiveness is that we ask Allah
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:16
			subhanaw taala to connect us to
the proper size and to gaze upon
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:20
			us to give us what is that we
desire to forgive us of all of our
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:23
			sins, because that's what we're
going to need in that moment.
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:28
			Everything that is that we did
ilaha illallah everything that is
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:32
			that we missed everything that is
that we neglected. We hope that if
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:35
			Allah availed us in this world
that he'll villas in the next
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:39
			world, and we hope that just as he
veils us now that he will villas,
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:42
			then Subhan who want to add,
because this is really where it
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:46
			all matters is that what happens
in that moment when you and I are
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:50
			standing before Allah. And the
more that we reflect upon this,
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:53
			and this is why we recite this.
This is not just about moving our
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:56
			head and listening to the
beautiful melodies. The melodies
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			are there to help you reflect upon
the meaning
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			The melodies are there to help you
reflect upon the meaning. But
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:07
			really what matters is that you
and I are present with these
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:12
			meanings every single week. And
imagine if we're present and we're
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:16
			reliving them every single week.
And we are bringing to mind as if
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:20
			we were standing on your piano.
And we are bringing to mind the
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			prophesy stems, prostration and
the intercession that's going to
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:27
			transpire after that in our
predicament on Yom Okayama. And
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:33
			how he will be the one people go
to. And the more that we prepare
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:37
			for that now, the more that we
will be closer to Him, then,
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:42
			because we've done it, imagine if
you do it, that 50 weeks out of
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:46
			the year, right or close to that,
because we stopped for that.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:50
			Sometimes we do outside of that.
So imagine if you're doing it 50
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:56
			times a year, and you're over a
course of 3040 5060 years, how
		
00:10:56 --> 00:11:00
			many times you've done this just
in the moment alone, and really
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:04
			thinking deeply about this, this
will have a very powerful impact
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:09
			upon us. And those moments that we
spend reflecting upon these
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:13
			meanings, and we allow that joy to
be in our heart for the Prophet
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16
			Muhammad sai center, love to be in
a heart for the Prophet Muhammad
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:20
			sai Center are some of the
weightiest moments in our life on
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:25
			the scales. Recently, we heard one
of our teachers say, about a young
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:29
			girl who was longing for the
Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:34
			sallam. And he said that by Allah,
all of the kings on earth, all of
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:37
			those who are in political
positions on earth, everything
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:41
			that is that they have, he said,
This young girl who longs for the
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:44
			prophesy centum is better than all
of them, and everything that they
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:45
			have
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:52
			those moments of longing for
little soul out of love. And then
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			he went on to say is that this is
the way that Holmes used to be?
		
00:11:55 --> 00:12:01
			What do our children longed for?
Video games, shoes, you know, who
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:04
			knows what else, all kinds of
dunya we things in their kids,
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:07
			okay, they could have those
things. But in addition to those
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:11
			things, this is what is really
important is that these meanings
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:15
			beat in the heart, that they spend
time sending subtle water upon the
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:19
			prophesy some loving him. And
there was a beautiful story that
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:24
			Sheikh Yusuf had never had, he
mentions, and there was a that he
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:28
			used to He taught his he had two
of his children, one of his
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:31
			daughter, his daughter had a
daughter by the name of Aisha, and
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:34
			he had a son by the name of
Muhammad. And he taught them a
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:37
			subtle what to say before going to
bed. And this particular one was
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:42
			said 100 times. So they started
saying it, and then that they said
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:48
			that his son, Mohammed, the young
son, he was ill, he was sick. And
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:52
			his daughter saw a dream with a
prophesy son, where she came to
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:57
			the house, he came to the house,
Salah liason, and that he greeted
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:01
			her and welcomed her. And then he
asked in the dream about her
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:05
			brother, Mohammed. And then she
said that he's sick. And so he
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:09
			went over, and then he made dua
for him or wiped over him. Salatu
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:13
			Salam, and then Muhammad woke up
in real life in the morning, and
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:17
			he was healed. By virtue of our
prophets, Allah sent him. These

			are not fables. These are not just
stories, this is very real. And

00:13:32 --> 00:13:36

connection and longing for Lavasa
