means that we should be conscious of him, we should be aware of him,
and we should protect ourselves from his punishment and his wrath.
And we should not allow ourselves to die except in a state of
submission to a state of la ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, I begin my hotbar by asking Allah
Allah subhana wa Taala first and foremost, to send blessings and
prayers upon our beloved prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam Allahumma salli wa sallim wa barik ala Nabi in our Habib

idea that the angels is certain people that has certain

you meet these requirements, then that an SLO Allahu Allah aka
number one first and foremost, the angels will be descending to them

because leaving this dunya and meeting Allah subhanaw taala
and the idea of presenting your deeds and my deeds to Allah

something terrifying.
And so the answers will come and will give comfort to those people
who are meeting these requirements that I'm going to be talking
about. The angels will come and give you comfort and will tell you
there is no fear. Let the half don't Don't be afraid. No worries,

add the Allah subhanaw taala has promised you know to you in your
dunya
not only this, Allah subhanaw taala says after this nano Alia
Phil hieratic dunya often after meeting those requirements, having
those characteristics that I'm about to say. Allah says he will
be usually now
Would ya confit dunya was in
usually in this dunya and usually in the after. So why will he
means? You know, when somebody gets married, we always hear the
word bully, who is the basically the father of the bride. Right?
And why the father is there is because he wants to make sure that
all the rights of his daughter is preserved. He's the one who's
going to defend her. If anything goes wrong. He's the only he's
he's the one who protects her.
Allah here and Allah * matter methyl Allah for Allah belongs the
best of examples. Allah here saying that I will be the one who
protects you.
In this dunya and in the Accra, you should not be worried about
anything. I'll take care of you.
Now I will Yeah, I will hieratic dunya often
that's a massive word, just thinking about all of this. Now we
want to know,
who are these people, because every single one in this room
wants to be among those people, who will be angels go down to them
and give them comfort as the departure from this dunya. And
even in the in this dunya, you will be protected, you will be
defended by Allah subhanaw taala every single one of us want to be
among those people. So what are these requirements? Allah starts
out by saying, first and foremost, there are three things. And these
three things we really want to, you know, internalize it today,
before we live in Sharla. Three things.
Number one, he said in the Levina call, what a boon Allah.
What does that mean?
The Scholars say,
those who say Allah is my Lord. That's the translation of the of
the phrase. The Scholars say it means that you're always thinking
and conscious about Allah subhanaw taala. When you wake up in the
morning, experts say, the first thing that you think about in the
morning, we'll have an impact on you, the rest of the day will
shape the way you think the rest of the day. Imagine when you wake
up, the first thing you think about is Who is Allah subhanaw
taala meaning that you're actually consciously you're conscious of
Allah subhanaw taala at all times, since you wake up, and you're
watching Allah subhanaw taala in your actions throughout the day,
and just before you go to sleep, you're always remembering Allah
and you're making dua, and you're actually reminding yourself by
Allah subhanaw taala before you sleep, so that's the first part.
But he said that is an actually an addition to this, a Levina call
Robin Allah, meaning Well, meaning you're not shying away from your
faith in public. You are seeing Allah's mercy, Lord, I'm Muslim.
I'm not shy, to show my own identity and my own faith outside.
I will go and if I'm in a mall, and I want to make Hulu, I will go
and make Hulu, I will put my feet in the sink and wash my feet.
I'm not shying away from my own faith. I'm not, you know, I'm not
putting myself down. Just because I'm telling the world that a
Muslim, a Lavina call Rob goon Allah, you're out there in your
workplace, and you're not afraid of wearing a coffee. You're out
there in your workplace. And you're actually you know,
pronouncing your name Muhammad, you're not afraid of saying
Muhammad. I wouldn't even name myself more I would say Muhammad,
Allah Vina call Robin Allah, you're proud of your own faith and
your your own identity.
In the Latina call Robin Allah, that's number one, a Latina call
Robin Allah, you know, this idea was revealed to the people of
Makkah. And at that time was so hard to actually, you know,
pronounce your your are saying out loud, that you're Muslim. There is
a heavy price tag on saying you're Muslim at that time. And yet the
Sahaba went through these sacrifices and the actually
publicly announced that they're Muslims after the three years of,
of the of the secret data, they went out there and said, you know,
what, I will, I will take it I will take if there is some society
consequences or society, you know, regardless of the society
pressures, I will still go out there and say I'm muslim.
So that's number one. If we're able to not be shy, and showing
our identity and Allah has always we're striving to always be
mindful of Allah. Then you actually got the first
characteristics of the people that they will actually be comfortable
as they're leaving this dunya and meeting Allah number two.
So Mr. Karma that's very simple.
stir karma in Arabic language it means in English language, it
means steadfastness. And Abdullah has made it very simple. He said,
If you want to be able to preserve your obligations, Salah LCM has
all of your obligatory acts that Allah subhanaw taala has asked you
to do. So that's, that's very simple so far. You're mindful of
Allah, you're not shying away from going out there and showing your
identity. And then number three, you're just doing what Allah
subhanaw taala has obligated you to do
in terms of a Baghdad number three,
this is very important.
And that is an additional task, every single Muslim has to fulfill
in the last hotbar of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He
said few words. He said Allah fell you by a little harder mean
Koolhaas.
He said now you know my Deen
now it becomes an obligatory upon you to go and to deliver that Deen
to others to deliver the words of Islam to others to do your Dawa
just heard the our beautiful brother is talking about this
project, beautiful projects that are training for children Wallahi
that one inspired me to even talk about the subject in this hotbar
it was beautiful hearing that there is actually this beautiful
initiative. We're actually training our children at very
young age, to carry that responsibility of la ilaha
illAllah Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu sallam. So again, the
prophet in the last hash, he said now, it becomes obligatory upon
you to deliver the words of Islam to others in this ayah that I
mentioned at the beginning of, of the hotbar Allah subhanaw taala
says woman s and colon, men men die il Allah, wa Milla salah,
there is absolutely nothing more rewarding. There is absolutely
nothing more than words and then die ill Allah conveying the words
of Allah subhanho wa Taala to others, leading the world knew
what Islam is, who the Prophet sallallahu wasallam is.
And I Wallahi I acknowledge and understand that every single one
here in this room has different capacity. Not everybody is able
to, you know, give inspirational talks, or be in a debate, not
everybody has this capacity. That's why these beautiful
initiatives will come to place, then at least what we did not do
to ourselves and the indication that we lacked, at least we
actually ask our children to go and to pursue this, to pursue that
knowledge that can actually shape them to grow up as Muslims we are
confident Muslims, that the actually can speak about their own
faith, their own religion, and can defend anyone who's trying to hurt
the words of Allah Allah, Allah Allah Muhammad Rasul allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Wallahi It's crucial.
Now for ourselves, for everybody who's sitting in this room, you
may say, like, yes, given dollar, but I can't give dollar. I don't
have enough knowledge to give Dawa.
Subhanallah you know, couple of days ago,
I have a friend of mine who wanted to sell his car.
So he put his car on Facebook marketplace.
And, you know, he uploaded the pictures of his car. And his car
was $80,000. So he put the price tag on his vehicle. And then he
got a buyer. He met the buyer. It was it was 515. So he didn't make
it. The buyer came check the inspected the car, everything is
looking good. And the buyer was serious. And he told him I want to
buy this car from the buyers now Muslim, the seller is Muslim.
So the buyer told him, I want to buy this car from you, but it's
now you know it past five and the bank is closed. So we cannot make
this transaction now. It means that we have to come tomorrow. So
the Muslim seller told him that's fine. You know, we'll meet
tomorrow.
And I will you know, finish all the process tomorrow. Then the
buyer got a little warm.
Read that maybe the seller will get a better, you know, a better a
better rate on the car, a better offer, and he will lose the car.
So the buyer told him, I really want you to keep the car for me
until tomorrow.
And the seller told him, I'm going to keep it for you. And you have
my word.
And then they left.
The buyer wanted to actually make sure that he's serious about it.
So he logged in from different account. And he contacted the
brother. And he told him, I want to buy your car from you. And he
said, No, but I actually sold it. He said, No, no, I'll give you
$20,000.02 Extra $1,000.
And I want to buy it now.
And the brother told him, I'm sorry, I sold it.
The next day, the buyer came to the seller, the Muslim said I told
him, by the way, I No offense, but I'm the one who contacted you
yesterday, and I asked you to even sell this car for two more $1,000
Sell it to me for extra $2,000. And you rejected the offer.
And he told him yes, because I give you my word.
And he told him this beautiful. He told him by the way, these are the
teachings, the teachings of our Prophet
sallallahu wasallam. By the way, we're talking in a world now that
don't have these values. When it comes to business, nobody really
acts in that manner.
It's so hard to find people that they still keeping their words, if
I give you my word, I will fulfill my promise. So bizarre to find
this nowadays. That's why even incorporate the call it work
ethics, basically Islamic values.
So the man told him listen, I give you my word. And these are the
teachings of our Prophet the man was it was, it was mind boggling
to that man to the buyer. You told him I've never seen somebody does
this in America. It's so strange. And the fact that you have done
this because of the teachings of your prophet, I'm so curious now
to know who this guy is. Who's Who's the Who's your prophet is.
This brother now is very serious in sha Allah, Allah to take the
shahada and Valley Ranch messed up in the light.
Just thinking about this,
the way you carry yourself, the way that you deliver Islam to
others, does not require you to always have tremendous knowledge
of Islam.
May Allah subhanaw taala make me and you among those who will be
ambassadors of Islam your blood I mean, a cold call you had our
stuff.
Smilla Rahmanir Rahim o salat wa salam ala Rasulillah. While
earlier he was something he was selling for slim and cathedra. And
my bad. Islam grew drastically since the passing of our beloved
prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and until now,
at the last hotbar of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, there were
about 100,000 people attending this whole 100 1000s Hardly
attended this.
Until today, we have almost 2 billion Muslims around around the
globe. Islam is the fastest growing religion. And these are
statistics these are numbers.
And I always, you know, educate and teach our students that don't
think you're doing a favor to Islam by giving Dawa Islam by
itself is so strong. The message of Islam is strong enough to
attract, attract you know anyone who has alcohol and his heart is
at right place. Islam in itself is strong by itself the words of
Allah subhanaw taala is strong by itself. We're just honored to
carry these words and and to deliver it to others or just
honored to carry Leila long hombre, Salah, Salah Salem in your
heart and go out there and act accordingly. We're just honored.
You're not doing and I'm not doing any fever to Islam. Well Allah
Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah has blessed us with carrying this
precious words of his. Allah has blessed us with the faith that we
carry in our heart. So we say Alhamdulillah Allah, Allah mean
for this? My dear brothers and sisters, like I said, everybody
has a capacity if your only capacity
is to prevent people from your harm as a Muslim, to prevent your
neighbors from your harm as a Muslim, then Wallahi that's the
best dollar Wallahi that's the best dollar. If your only, you
know, way that you can contribute to your religion is to be a man
with honor, a man who's truthful, a man who is still sticking on
Islamic principles and values when it comes to business or comes to
relationships. While law he that is the best form of Dawa.
If at least that's the bare minimum, that you're holding on
your deen through your human interaction with others. That's
the best form of doubt. And then if you want to take a step
further, or you want to do your children to take a step further,
then educate them about Islam about the existence of Allah
subhanaw taala about how to defend themselves from atheism, et
cetera. This is also a duty upon every single Muslim and Muslim and
in sha Allah Allah, Allah subhanaw taala strengthen the faith of his
in our hearts and our our children hearts, Yara, Brian Amin, Aloha
