			Salam Alikum zakat Allah had Marcella for the beautiful rod. Allah what Allah what Allahu Akbar La
ilaha illa Allah Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar Allah. So inshallah we'll start in few minutes and but
before that just a quick announcement in sha Allah, as you can see on your screen. I think right now
I see all of us, but there was a QR code for the epic official announcement group. So as you know,
hamdulillah there are so many programs going on an epic at any given week. On the weekend, we have
more than three or four programs every single weekend. Let me ask you, how many of you know that
epic has an epic funeral service? Raise your hand if you know about epic funeral service? Okay, so
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			about 25% of you raise your hand?
		
00:05:55 --> 00:06:39
			How many of you know that we have to Sunday school sessions morning and evening? Look, okay, so what
10% Do you know the summer school that we had this year, we had more than 150 seats. And they got
filled up in 10 minutes, in 10 minutes. And we got so many emails and requests to open up more
seats, and many people were not aware. So they wanted to make sure that they are aware of epic
programs. So what we have done even though we have more than 10,000 email addresses that we send out
these emails, whenever there is a program, we send out the emails. I know many of us in today's
world, we like text messages, right? We like WhatsApp, we like something to be texted. And many of
		
00:06:39 --> 00:07:23
			us we don't even open our emails, we did a look at the statistics, we had less than 15% of us who
open our emails. So that tells us that most of us we want a different kind of communication on more
timely basis. So what we have done we have created a simple Whatsapp group one big group for epic
management to let you know all of our programs, what's happening our schools our services, because
as you know Alhamdulillah we are proud to say that epic provides from cradle to grave services all
the way from children all the way to the funeral. Like I said our funeral service from sending email
to the community picking up the body and also viewing janazah even we have a start or Imam Imam at
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:47
			the mall to start they go to the burial ground so we provide an end to end funeral service for our
community in the communities around us. So for all of that if you want to know what's going on and
epic at any given time please go ahead and scan this QR code this way you will be inshallah be aware
of what's happening at Epic on very timely basis and you will not miss any announcement in sha Allah

00:19:37 --> 00:19:59
			mahalo Slean Idaho Dean what oh Cody healthcare for your own. Dear Muslims. Allahu Akbar. Allah is
indeed greater grander, more majestic than any other entity or being on this day of reads on this
day of an autoharp. On this day of the hedge. Let us reminisce and think and remember, of the very
person because of whom
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:44
			All of these institutions and all of these celebrations have been instituted, and that is our father
Ibrahim alayhis salam, our father Ibrahim alayhi salam who built the carrabba who legislated the
Hajj by the command of Allah subhanho wa Taala who sacrificed or attempted to sacrifice and then
Allah subhanho wa Taala blessed him with an old ear. All of these we walk in the footsteps of
Ibrahim alayhis salam. So in today's brief chutzpah as we celebrate the legacy of Ibrahim alayhis
salam, I want to remind myself and all of you have three simple facts from his life and times three
simple moralities and legacies that we should keep in mind. Point number one brothers and sisters,
		
00:20:44 --> 00:21:31
			we learn from the story of Ibrahim alayhis salam, the legacy of Ibrahim alayhis salam. When Ibrahim
stood up and preached the Kalima and opposed his people, there was no other Muslim on Earth other
than him. And Allah subhana wa Tada gave him the courage and Allah protected him and ALLAH blessed
him. Realize from this truth is not known from numbers, majority votes does not mean it is correct.
We live in a time we live in a society where religion is rejected, where God is mocked, where
morality is made fun of. And it doesn't matter how many people reject religion, it shall remain
true. It doesn't matter how many people mock the religion of Islam, how many people believe in
		
00:21:31 --> 00:22:14
			immoral lifestyles, truth is above the majority opinion. And truth does not change from era to time
to place. So we learn from the story of Ibrahim alayhis salam that we need to follow the truth
regardless of what society around us says, And when we follow the truth. And when we stand up and
preach the truth, Allah subhanho wa Taala will bless us. The second lesson we learn from the story
of Ibrahim alayhis salam is that when we give up something for the sake of Allah, when we obey the
commandments of Allah when we follow the Sharia of Allah subhanho wa taala. Even if there is some
sacrifice, in the long term, we will gain much more than what we gave up when we live ethical,
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:59
			moral, Islamic lifestyles, when we obey what Allah has told us to obey. Allah will bless us in this
world before he will bless us in the next world. We learned this from Ibrahim alayhis salam. When
Ibrahim wanted progeny he wanted children and he lived 100 years before Allah blessed him with a
smile and then with his house. And when ALLAH blessed him with his smile as an old man, Allah azza
wa jal gave him a commandment that Oh, Ibrahim, show me your love sacrificed this child and Ibrahim
immediately implemented or attempted to implement the command and it was that spirit of obedience to
Allah. It was that spirit of I hear and I obey when Ibrahim alayhis salam attempted to obey Allah.
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:39
			Allah not only spared him his smile, Allah blessed him with his house, Allah not only gave him two
children, but every single prophet after Ibrahim was from the children of Ibrahim, Allah did not
only give him progeny, but all civilizations, the Abrahamic civilizations Judaism, Islam,
Christianity, over half of the world's population, admire and respect Ibrahim alayhis salam, when he
sacrificed for the sake of Allah when he obeyed the commandments of Allah, He did not suffer. Allah
gave him this dunya and Allah gave him the Ark era. So two brothers and sisters, it's difficult to
live ethical lives and our times it's difficult to think about Halal earning, it's difficult to live
		
00:23:39 --> 00:24:19
			morally upright lives. But when we choose to submit to Allah when we hear and we obey, then we shall
taste the fruits of that obedience in this world before we taste them in the hereafter. Our Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Whoever gives up something for the sake of Allah, whoever gives up
something for the sake of Allah, whether it is haram money, whether it is haram pleasure, whoever
gives up something for the sake of Allah, Allah will give him better than what he gave up. So dear
brothers and sisters, learn from the story of Ibrahim sacrifice your desire to sacrifice what you
want to do, if it's not allowed to do and Allah will bless you with more than you could ever have
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:59
			imagined. And the third and final lesson we learned from the story of Ibrahim alayhis salam.
Throughout the entire story, we learned that Ibrahim wasn't just a paragon of virtue because he
worshipped Allah because he constantly made dua because he built the kava because he was a regular
person who prayed and fasted. Not only was he Paragon because of this, but also because of his
manners and a clap because of his compassion because of his kindness because of the way he treated
his father in the face of persecution because of his warmness of the heart even for the people whom
Allah said I'm going to destroy even those people. Ibrahim begged and pleaded and Allah said his
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:00
			heart was full
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:41
			Love compassion Ibrahim Allah wa who had him so we learned brothers and sisters that Islam is built
upon two simple fundamental pillars. Number one, worship Allah. And number two be good to the
people. Ibrahim summarizes what it means to be a believer. Do your rituals pray your prayers fast
the month of Ramadan gives God attempt to go for Hajj if you haven't been do the rituals, but also
make sure you live ethical lives. Make sure you live like a family. If you're a father, be a father
to your children. If you're a mother, be a mother to your children. If you're a son or daughter,
fulfill your family responsibilities like Ibrahim did in broader society, give back and be
		
00:25:41 --> 00:26:20
			compassionate like Ibrahim was treat people the way you want to be treated. This is an essential
requirement to be Muslim. It is not good enough to just do the rituals. You must also have a good
relationship with people and live lives and give back to people the way you want to be treated. We
learn this from the story of Ibrahim alayhis salaam, Islam is very simple brothers and sisters
worship Allah alone and be good to the people and you shall enter for those that Allah dear Muslims,
as we conclude our chutzpah, it is imperative that we simply take a step back and look at the global
situation. Every year I remind myself and all of you of the blessings given to us that have been
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:59
			deprived of other people as we speak. So many of our brothers and sisters are under persecution
under lock in jail so many of them cannot even celebrate Eid because their governments have done
this celebration. I've read so many of them they even if they're able to celebrate how will they be
happy when their families have been torn apart when they're worried about Civil War when bombs are
falling when they don't have food to eat. The least that we can do when we look at the global
situation is to feel a sense of genuine appreciation to Allah genuine happiness that Allah azza wa
jal has given us what he's given us. And that appreciation comes with responsibilities to live as
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:36
			best as we can. And to care about our brothers and sisters around the world. Brothers and sisters,
today is the day of read celebrate this day. It is a Day of Happiness. It is a day of joy. Make sure
your families appreciate this day make sure you shower them with love. Make sure you make this day
special in the children's memories. Because after you're gone, you want your children to remember
this day so that they can maintain our rituals maintain our religion maintained our happiness for
many generations to come. Dear Muslims protect your religion because if you don't protect it, nobody
else will protect your families because if you don't protect your family, there's nothing left
		
00:27:36 --> 00:28:13
			protect what is most sacred to you. And that is your religion and what Allah has given you and asked
for this dunya it comes in it goes don't make it your priority. Allah subhana wa Tada will give you
more if you give up for the sake of Allah, dear Muslims be righteous as much as you can be righteous
as much as you can. If you fall short repent to Allah subhana wa Tada and Allah is Forgiving and
Merciful, Allahumma and NIDA and for aminu, raise your hands up to Allah we're going to make dua to
