Yasir Qadhi – Ramadan 2015 – Day 2

			hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa salatu salam ala Sayidina. Mohammed in early was a big marine about
in today's recitation, our environment caught it recited for the very first time Allah mentions in
the Quran, the Prophet Ibrahim, what is the patella Ibrahim or Abu Bakar? Imagine for a moment and
the Prophet Ibrahim alayhis salam has the unique honor and respect of being the most widely
venerated prophet in all of human history. The Jews, the Christians, the Muslims, according to one
opinion, even the name Brahman that comes from Hinduism originates from the Prophet Ibrahim alayhis
salaam. And the Prophet Ibrahim alayhis. Salam is mentioned almost second to none in terms of sheer
		

			quantity. The Prophet Musa is mentioned more in the Quran, but in terms of goodwill in terms of
being taken as a role model, no one comes second to the Prophet Ibrahim, even our Prophet Mohammed
sesam is told in the Koran, Lakota, Canada, Kumu, Spurgeon, Hassan feet, Ibrahim, you have enabled
on him a good role model, no one is to be is told to the prophets, so to take as a role model other
than his own father, Ibrahim, and once it is narrated, that a man passed by the prophets as many
said, Yeah, hi, buddy. Yeah, oh, best of all of mankind. And the Prophet system said, No, that was
my father, Ibrahim. And even though of course, we know that the Prophet system is in fact, the
		

			chosen one. And He is the Savior, the one or the Adam, the leader of the children of Adam, but out
of humility, he considers his father Ibrahim to be the greatest of all of mankind. And Allah Subhana
Allah to Allah says in these verses, and much can be said, but time limits me to extract some
wisdoms that remember and recall when Allah tested Ibrahim with some commandments, and he fulfilled
all of them. So Allah tested on him with many commandments, and of those commandments, perhaps the
greatest and the most difficult was to sacrifice his own son is married. And now you all know the
story that he went all the way to the end and that Allah azza wa jal saved him from that, and many
		

			other Commandments were given to Abraham and Abraham alehissalaam fulfilled those commandments. So
Allah said, to Abraham, I am making you aneema to mankind in nature, it oculina see Mama, and an
Imam over here means somebody who is taken as a leader. So this shows us brothers and sisters, if
you want to be taken as a role model, if you want to be taken as a leader, you must do so through
the obedience to the commandments of Allah, when they brought him fulfill the commandments of Allah,
when he passed all of the tests, then and only then was he told I am making you aneema. So whoever
wants to be respected and beloved, in this world and the next, the only way to achieve that is by
		

			perfecting one's worship of Allah subhana wa Tada. So when Abraham is told, Allah is telling him I'm
making you the leader for all of mankind. Abraham says women through reality, I want my children to
have that leadership in Islam as well. I want them as well to be taken as such beautiful role
models. And Allah subhana wa tada says, Allah Allah subhanahu wa Giovanni mean, that unrighteous
wicked people will not be able to get this promise, meaning, oh, Ibrahim, blood doesn't matter. When
it comes to religiosity, whether he's your son or not, if he's evil and bad, he will not be taken as
a role model. And if he is a righteous person, even if he's not your son, he will be taken as your
		

			role model. So Ibrahim alayhis, Salam wanted this religious imama and the religious imama. Here is
Prophethood. And to be beloved to all of mankind, through the religious respect, Ibrahim wanted his
children to have that. And Allah says, No, just because he's a child of yours will not make that
person, a prophet or a saint or a righteous person. And this is what we believe in Islam. There is
no Holy Family, there is no holy blood. Every person is judged by himself or herself. It doesn't
matter who your father, your mother, your child, your daughter, you are you on the Day of Judgment.
And even the Prophet Ibrahim is told just because he's your son doesn't mean that he will become an
		

			Imam. If he's an unrighteous wicked person, it's not going to happen. So then Ibrahim makes it to
Allah to Allah. When the law tells him to build a house, then he makes it to Allah to Allah, that
Oh, Allah is Amina make this house a sacred is holy land and make it peaceful. And what is Yokohama
thammarat and give the people who live in Makkah, lots of food. Now, Ibrahim has been told that
unrighteous and wicked people will not get the promise of Allah will not get imama so out of shyness
out of bashfulness he himself says Oh Allah
		

			only give good people food, what is the alumina? Sumeragi man am and I mean hoobler What do men
after? If they believe in you then give them food? Why did he add this clause? Why did he add this
clause? Because he felt that Allah azza wa jal reproached him when he wanted his children to be
blessed with righteousness. So now that he's asking for food, he says, Oh Allah only give Muslims
food. But then Allah azza wa jal says in the Quran, what Allah says in the Quran was that even those
who don't believe in me, I will give them food. Allah woman Kaffir, of material Kadena in terms of
food in terms of drink in terms of breathing and eating and sleeping Allah gives to the Muslim and
		

			the caffeine doesn't matter. So just because you have more money, just because you have more wealth,
don't ever assume that you are beloved to Allah. True he mama comes from religiosity as the Prophet
Ibrahim it has said I'm said was was told in the Quran and worldly blessings are given to the Muslim
and to the non Muslim. It doesn't matter. It is not a sign of Allah blessings on you just because
you have more money just because you have more health or wealth. No. So Ibrahim alayhis salam is
told even if they don't believe in me, I will give them food or the woman cafaro for oma to Khalida,
but then in the next world they will meet they're faced then then Abraham and his Salaam says that
		

			Allah says tells us in the Quran, what is the other factor Abraham will cover it the middle beta is
married. When Ibrahim and his son is married. We're building the Kaaba, they are putting the blocks
of the Kava as they're building the Kava. What do I know? Are they making robina to cobalamin? In
Naka? Anta semiology This is a very profound drop. It's a very deep drop. Can you imagine anything
holier than building the first Masjid in all of human history? The mucca Masjid, the Haram, can you
imagine anyone holier than Ibrahim? Can you imagine any act that putting the foundations for the
garba him and his son is smart? One by one, they are building the Kaaba, who can possibly not think
		

			that this action will be accepted? But no, my dear brothers and sisters, just because you do a deed,
don't assume a loan will accept it. Because you do not know how about if your intention was not
right. How about if there's another thing? How about if the money was how long? How about if any
other issue comes? So as you make any deed, make sure you also make dua to Allah to up Belle Mina
accept this deed Of what use is a good deed if Allah does not accept it, Of what use is doing
something when it is not accepted by Allah. And that is why Allah says in the Quran in Maja Takata
Allahu Minami. Allah only accepts from the righteous people, my dear brothers and sisters, even
		

			hypocrites do good deeds, even people with no eemaan do good deeds, even people who don't want Allah
as rewards do good deeds.
		

			The importance is not in doing the deed the importance is acceptance from Allah if Allah accepts the
good deed, so here we are standing in prayer, let no one feel diluted. Oh Mashallah, I'm doing a big
thing. Subhana Allah, what have you done after all that Allah has given you and here you stand and
Are you sure your intention my intention is pure? What if our intention is to show the other people
what if we have other false intentions? What if we have Hulu What if we have real What if we have
given what if what if what if, no matter how righteous we are, we have to raise our hands up to
Allah and make dua to Allah, Oh Allah except mycelium, I will not accept my PM, I will not accept
		

			every good deed that I do. And that is why in the Quran, in the Quran, Allah subhana wa tada
mentions that the righteous are those who when they do their good deeds, what jealous guru boom,
their hearts are trembling as they do those deeds are Isha said, O Messenger of Allah. These people,
they're doing good deeds. Allah describes them as doing good deeds, and yet they're trembling. Are
these people, the major sinners, they're murderers? They're rapists doing Zina, and they're scared,
Allah will reject their deeds, that's why they're trembling. And the process of them said, No, you
have Vanessa or daughter of Siddiq or the law one, no, these are those who they do the good deed,
		

			and then they and they are righteous and they are terrified that what if Allah does not accept that
deed, so the whole deed goes in vain and waste. Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, from this
we learn, even Ibrahim alayhis salaam is making da da da da da cobalamin indika Anta Samuel Adams
robina Oh, my Lord, make me and my progeny of those in sort of Abraham mimaki me is sada of those
who are establishing the prayer. So we learned here as well. A law did not promise Ibrahim that his
children would all be righteous, that Allah clearly said, when Abraham says I want my children to
have that imama Allah says, I cannot guarantee that it depends on them. So true. There is no
		

			guarantee, but we need to make dua to Allah. We need to make dua to Allah
		

			Allah make me and my children of those who are righteous make me and my children of those who are
establishing those Allah and it is a beautiful day that the Salah our Qibla is the Kaaba and Ibrahim
as he is building our quibbler that billions of people are facing Abraham's worry is Oh Allah make
me and my children from those who established the salah there is no guarantee even he's building the
Gabba and he's not sure what if my grandchildren are praying? What if my children are not righteous?
So we make dua to Allah subhanho wa Taala that our children are following this beautiful path of
Islam and then Allah subhanho wa Taala goes on and says one a year ago Amelia Tiburon him who can
		

			possibly want to reject the method and wait around him it is silom and the context of these verses
is of course right before if you listen to the the the recitation and the translation right before a
lot of talks about Jews and Christians and other Abrahamic religions, and each one of them is
saying, Oh, we are the correct We are the We are the good people. And Allah subhana wa tada says
Ibrahim was neither a Jew nor a Christian. How could he been a Jew or a Christian when Judaism and
Christianity came after him? Makana Ibrahim will yahoodi and Elena. Sania Ibrahim was not one of
these things. When I came to Ghana hanifa muslimah he was of those who submitted to Allah He was of
		

			those who worship Allah subhana wa Tada. And so Ibrahim alayhis salam is taken as a role model for
all of the Abrahamic religions, Muslims, Christians and Jews and we are told to take him as the
ultimate criterion of who is a true submitter to Allah Subhana Allah May Allah subhana wa Tada,
makers of those who follow in the footsteps of the Prophet Ibrahim Allah has set up and his son the
Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was set on why they come to LA he will Barakatuh
