What do you do what are Buddha Raja come without? Oh hi Rhonda Allah come to flippin bow down to Allah and record

If you want to be successful, forgiven, be granted gender for things are mentioned. And they're summarized into because the first three are all revolving around rituals, do rocor do sujood and worship Allah record and sujood is of course inside out. And that is indicating that number one Salah is the most important aspect of worship. And number two within the Salah, our physical postures of bowing down, lowering our head to Allah and then falling down in prostration. These are the highest of deeds
within the Salah. And all good deeds Erica was to do why would you do a bother of Allah that's the first pillar.

These are the doors that are flung open, and by the way, this verse was revealed, and there was no military jihad. These verses came before the Battle of Bedouin. Yes, indeed, certain aspects of jihad are military, no doubt about it. But the word Jihad does not only indicate qatal, Jihad can be done with the pen. Jihad can be tongue with the tongue. Jihad can be done with
money. Jihad can be done with knowledge. jihad is multiple areas, and Allah is saying, strive in my way, to the best of your ability. In fact, the way that Allah deserves you strive in His way with joy he do feel that he haka God, whatever good deeds you do, do it the best, whether it is your charity, whether it is helping other people, whether it is via knowledge, whether it is in any endeavor, do it How can a jihadi that is raising the bar very, very, very high. In fact, it is so high that we might lose hope How can I do jihad, the heart of Allah subhanho wa Taala we're dying to fill a haka jihadi, how can I reach that level?

It is the mill of every
prophet from his time up until the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, you're not alone. We're in a large team. The team transcends civilizations. It transcends omus. It transcends profits. It goes back to Ibrahim alayhis, salaam millet, abiko Ibrahim, who was an Akuma muslimeen. What is the name of this team? What is the name of the group that our Lord chose? Who means Allah, Allah is the one that has chosen you. And he's called you all he's given you the description of Muslim, this is our team. This is our group, and a lot chose us to be a part of it. And Alon named us. And Allah told us what to do the one who gave us all of this, he's not going to abandon this now, the one who chose us
and we didn't ask to be chosen, the one who guided us and we didn't ask to be guided. What do you think he will give us when we actually asked him when he gave us the best blessing without even us raising our hands when he guided us to Islam without even us asking him? What do you think he's going to do when we asked him Oh Allah give us that highest level? Oh Allah make us of those who are doing a son Oh Allah make us of those who are doing jihad the way that hochkar jihadi hatched Abba Kumar Masha Allah Allah confit demon, Raj millet, veeco Ibrahim, who has some common wisdom in Amina kaaboo, Wolfie.

Why? y Li one of the reasons why Leah coonara su Lucia Hayden alikum, who is the leader of our team, who is going
to be our guide, who is going to be the one that is literally our coach, we look up to him for a role model, we look up to him for inspiration, we look up to him to tell us what to do. Our Prophet Sall Allahu Allah, he was saying that we're not alone. He didn't just create us and then tell us we're Muslims. We have somebody that is going to be monitoring us. And even when he's gone, his son remains, even when he's physically not here his car remains and that will be a witness for all of us. That will be a role model for all of us. licona rasuluh Shaheed en la calm, and then you as well, all Muslims, you have a responsibility, what is your responsibility? What are kulu, shuhada
and anass? So the Prophet system is our leader, he is our Shahid. He is the one we look to, but then he has entrusted us with the task. And what is that task? The rest of mankind should find us to be role models. The rest of mankind should look to us for what it means to be a worshiper. What are the embodiments of being the true believer in a god? believer in the Sharia believer in the final day, we need to be role model citizens and role model human beings.

begin with yourself, established a prayer and give charity. This goes back to the previous verse, the exact same message but in different wordings, because the previous verse said, do record, do sujood and do good deeds to others. And the best of good deeds is to give your money to the poor, which is the cats. So this verse once again goes back to the basics, began with yourself. Make sure you have fulfilled your rituals, make sure you are giving your charity unto mankind. And yes, the task is great. Yes, it is a huge responsibility, massive responsibility. But what do we do? Why does he move in law? We turn to Allah for help we turn to Allah for help Allah Who created us and who

It shows us how blessed and fortunate we are that Allah subhana wa tada gave us this blessing without even us asking him It tells us what we should be concentrating on our personal rituals and then being good unto mankind. It reminds us of a global
responsibility. Don't be selfish, you have a responsibility to all of mankind. And then it tells us Don't worry, I'm here for you turn to me.
