Yousef Bakeer – The Importance of The Day of Ashura

While early he also here salam to Sleeman kathira.

Today marks marks in the calendar than ninth day of Mahara. We call

it yo Mutasa and tomorrow will mark Ashura. Ashura, it comes from

the word Ashura like the number 10 in Arabic language. So tomorrow is

gonna be a very special day.

And in today's hotter insha, Allah Tala, you want to cover two

things. Why are we fasting the day of Heart Chakra? Number two, what

is the virtue or the reward or the benefit of fasting that day? So

number one, why are we fasting this day? Just like we all know

when Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam came to Medina. And then he

found the Jewish community fasting this day. And when he asked, he

told him that this is the day when Allah subhanaw taala has saved

Prophet Musa alayhis salam. And then he said Nana, Huckabee Musa

minim, we should honor you know, Prophet Musa alayhis salam, he is

our Prophet, and we should honor him. Now, what exactly are we

celebrating? We're celebrating the resilience of Prophet Musa Allison

and we can summarize his life, his experience with these two words,

resilience and your clean. Look at the life of Prophet Musa alayhis

salam from a spoiled little child in the palace of Pharaoh in Egypt,

to somebody who all of a sudden was exiled from Egypt, you know,

accused by a crime, somebody who is going lost in the desert, find

a place where he sit down under a tree, and he was homeless and

hopeless. And then he asked Allah subhanaw taala to take care of

him, his experience at some point he was scared, he was afraid. And

then the experience itself Subhan Allah we all can relate to the

experience of Prophet Musa alayhis salam, because Allah subhanaw

taala has given has given him this, this idea of Sakina and

tranquility and peace in his heart, you will find that an

occurring theme in the story of Prophet Musa alayhis salam in the

Quran, always Allah constantly reminds him latter half don't be

scared. latter half. Allah subhanaw taala was talking to

Prophet Musa and Harun before they go to speak to Pharaoh Lata ha ha

ha talk of the theme when he was you know, getting the stick. Just

take it and don't be scared. Allah subhanaw taala canister constantly

instilling this idea of clean in his heart. So we can all relate to

this, we'll all have at some point in our lives, go through

difficulties and hardships. And sometimes it gives us this

tranquility in our heart believing that Allahu subhanaw taala is up

there and Allah subhanaw taala will take care of you and me.

Prophet Musa alayhis salam went through this experience, the last

scene of his life. He was right in front of the sea. And his you

know, soldiers and Bani Israel told him

we the goddess, the army of Pharaoh just right behind us and

they see the Red Sea is right in front of us. There is no way out.

And then Prophet Musa alayhis salam told them Kela that will

never happen. Now I have this certainty and in Allah subhanaw

taala I went through so much, and I learned that I can rely fully on

Allah subhanaw taala he said Kela in Amaya bisa Deen. Allah is with

me. Allah will guide me Allah who will show me a way out. So that

was the the summary because that you know the life of Prophet Musa

lesson I'm subject to so many lectures. This is just a summary

of the life of Prophet Musa al Salaam. Now, what is the right

word of fasting this beautiful day? And and what is the virtue of

fasting? Obviously, as we are fasting tomorrow in sha Allah to

Allah Yo Ma sha Allah. First we want to remind ourselves and

remind our children, why are we fasting? What exactly what event

took place in this day? Why are we celebrating the life of Prophet

Musa alayhis salam? And then the other man, the scholar said, there

are two rewards high rewards of fasting this day number one.

The ultimate scholar said obviously Rasulullah sallallahu

sallam said that whoever fast is this day, we all know that we're

fastest this day. Allah subhanaw taala will wipe out will erase all

of our sins from the previous year. So

This is obviously a huge word. But the second one that sometimes we

you know, we neglect or overlook is this idea of Tosa. Now what

Kelsea means and other be language it's a beautiful word Telsa

dosa means when you are in a very tight place and then all of a

sudden you go to another place where it's very spacious and

beautiful and big an expansion just like what we're doing

expansion here in this facility insha Allah Tala to make a bigger

and more beautiful, this is Tosa right. So Rasulullah sallallahu

sallam said, Man was Salah and FC were and he whoever brings this

joy and happiness and make this day a special day to himself or to

his family members. Allah subhanho wa Taala will give him that they

will sell the rest of the year Subhanallah the surface solid one

of Salah said I've tried it 40 years he said I've tried it for

years. And Allah never failed me in these years. And the year that

I don't do Tosa, I see the result I see the consequences. So let's

let's let's actually make this day tomorrow, a very special day.

Bring that joy to your family members. Make that this this meal,

you know the Iftar tomorrow a special meal for families into

food and make it very special. If you you know you know that when

you if you take them outside you go to a lake or make it very

special seven or eight, right? It's a day when we really need to

be happy. We need to feel this joy and happiness in this day in sha

Allah Allah. So think about something that you do different

for tomorrow. Then the last thing the idea of risk because the LMS

connected tomorrow by fasting and give out for tomorrow give sadaqat

make it a special, the ultimate connected to the idea of risk.

Subhanallah I'll even have you thought about the Alon who said at

risk now and the risk. Now I'm two types of risk. He said he said

risk on top LuBu a risk that you strive for you seek what is con

yak lawbook an arrest that seeks you looks for you. It will come to

you. So he said I'm Mariscal Ledi takanobu As for the risk that you

seek, if I say it felon Yeti like inlab beside it will never reach

you unless you put the effort the pursuit. So you you you work hard

you think of you know other ideas of investment. You make your

income higher you put all of your your effort your pursuit your

energy to see CRISC

America Escuela de occlude and then he said the second type of

frisk that seeks you first at La ko Allah, Allah Basik it will come

to you, it will reach you. Even if you're very weak, even if you're

in a remote area, there is no nothing out there. You can even

work it will teach you it will he this risk will find you

right and then he said well I will add lumen Allah the first risk

that you seek is justice you put your effort you get your risk,

with any fog moment Allah as for the second one is a favorite from

Allah subhanaw taala. So the alumni connected this to the

armoire showed up tomorrow. Because if you were to give out,

you know, give sadaqa and make this day special for your family

members and bring this joy, then you will get the second Frisk, the

ally of Nabi Ptolemy spoke about

a recap of this quarter a we're celebrating this day because we

are, you know, celebrating the resilience and the cleaning of

Prophet Musa alayhis salam.

B we are celebrating this day and we're fasting this day because

there is high the word from Allah subhanaw taala it raises your

previous year. And then if you do Tosia in this day and we learned

what that means, then Allah subhanaw taala will give you that

the rest of the year, Allah subhanaw taala make me and you

among those who fast tomorrow the best way that Allah subhanaw taala

will be pleased with and may Allah subhanaw taala bless us all with

acceptance Desikan la Hieron Salaam Alaikum Warahmatullahi
