00:00:04--> 00:00:06

Today is a auspicious day. It's a it's

00:00:06--> 00:00:06

a day of celebration.

00:00:08--> 00:00:10

But with that we have to also try

00:00:10--> 00:00:13

to remind ourselves that while we celebrate, there

00:00:13--> 00:00:14

are many parts of this Ummah. There are

00:00:14--> 00:00:17

many Muslim brothers and sisters throughout our ummah,

00:00:17--> 00:00:19

especially our brothers and sisters in Gaza who

00:00:19--> 00:00:21

are not able to celebrate. They are going

00:00:21--> 00:00:23

through days of mourning still. So So we

00:00:23--> 00:00:25

have to keep that as an undertone insha'aamahu

00:00:25--> 00:00:27

ta'ala. But for one thing I can assure

00:00:27--> 00:00:30

you is that we have to celebrate the

00:00:30--> 00:00:32

days of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and this

00:00:32--> 00:00:33

is one of the auspicious days the prophet

00:00:33--> 00:00:35

alaihi salatu wa salam said there are there

00:00:35--> 00:00:37

are 2 aids for the Muslims.

00:00:39--> 00:00:40

So may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:00:41--> 00:00:42

reward all of you for making it to

00:00:42--> 00:00:44

this day. This is an accomplishment. A lot

00:00:44--> 00:00:46

of people don't understand that making it to

00:00:46--> 00:00:48

this day at the end of Ramadan

00:00:48--> 00:00:50

is by the favor and grace of Allah

00:00:50--> 00:00:52

subhanahu wa ta'ala. The only reason you were

00:00:52--> 00:00:54

able to make it through this Ramadan and

00:00:54--> 00:00:55

meet the very end of it was through

00:00:55--> 00:00:57

the favor and mercy of Allah subhanahu wa

00:00:57--> 00:01:00

ta'ala. There are many people who were alive

00:01:00--> 00:01:02

last year hoping to make a better Ramadan

00:01:02--> 00:01:03

this year that did not make it to

00:01:03--> 00:01:05

this Ramadan. There were people who are alive

00:01:05--> 00:01:06

at the beginning of Ramadan

00:01:07--> 00:01:08

hoping to see the end of it and

00:01:08--> 00:01:10

see this day of Eid that did not

00:01:10--> 00:01:11

make it. So it is only by the

00:01:11--> 00:01:13

favor of Allah that you have made it

00:01:13--> 00:01:15

to this day. So we must celebrate that

00:01:15--> 00:01:17

and we must understand that not only is

00:01:17--> 00:01:18

this a day of celebration,

00:01:19--> 00:01:20

but today what I would like for us

00:01:20--> 00:01:22

to do insha'allahu ta'ala is make this a

00:01:22--> 00:01:24

day of new beginnings. This is a day

00:01:24--> 00:01:26

of new beginnings for all of us, insha'allah.

00:01:26--> 00:01:28

1st and foremost, the day of new beginnings

00:01:28--> 00:01:29

for masjid Saladin.

00:01:30--> 00:01:32

Alhamdulillah has honored us and favored us to

00:01:32--> 00:01:33

be able to have something that is called

00:01:33--> 00:01:36

the house of Allah, Baydulillah on earth. The

00:01:36--> 00:01:38

Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, These are

00:01:38--> 00:01:39

the most beloved spots

00:01:39--> 00:01:42

to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala on this planet.

00:01:42--> 00:01:44

The most beloved pieces of land on the

00:01:44--> 00:01:46

planet to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala or the

00:01:46--> 00:01:48

masajid. And Allah has given us the favor

00:01:48--> 00:01:51

and honor to be caretakers and and responsible

00:01:51--> 00:01:53

for one of those most beautiful and most

00:01:53--> 00:01:55

honored places with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So

00:01:55--> 00:01:57

So it's a new beginning for Mashid salahadeen.

00:01:58--> 00:01:59

But I also want you to make it

00:01:59--> 00:02:01

a new beginning for you. The point of

00:02:01--> 00:02:03

Ramadan is changed, is to become a new

00:02:03--> 00:02:04

person.

00:02:05--> 00:02:07

Allah says, so that you can obtain taqwa.

00:02:07--> 00:02:09

So the whole point of Ramadan

00:02:09--> 00:02:11

is to start new. You've been given a

00:02:11--> 00:02:13

chance. We've done whatever we've done over the

00:02:13--> 00:02:16

past 11 months before Ramadan, and now Allah

00:02:16--> 00:02:18

has given us this favorite and honored month,

00:02:18--> 00:02:20

where we turn to him. We give we

00:02:20--> 00:02:23

fast for him. We give extra salah for

00:02:23--> 00:02:25

him, we do extra qiyam for him, we

00:02:25--> 00:02:27

do extra qira'a, recitation of the Quran for

00:02:27--> 00:02:29

him. And the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:02:29--> 00:02:33

said, no one receives a complete Ramadan accepted

00:02:33--> 00:02:35

by Allah, but it is forgiveness for them.

00:02:35--> 00:02:37

It is forgiveness for everything that came before

00:02:37--> 00:02:39

it. So this is a chance for new

00:02:39--> 00:02:40

beginnings.

00:02:40--> 00:02:41

New beginnings.

00:02:41--> 00:02:43

The scholars have said that you can tell

00:02:43--> 00:02:44

and accept the Ramadan

00:02:45--> 00:02:47

if you are a different person after it.

00:02:47--> 00:02:49

If you're a different person after it, has

00:02:49--> 00:02:51

it changed you? So let us keep up

00:02:51--> 00:02:53

some of these habits. We've developed many habits

00:02:53--> 00:02:56

during Ramadan. The habits of abstaining from food

00:02:56--> 00:02:57

and drink, you don't have to do that

00:02:57--> 00:02:58

as much anymore, unless those of you who

00:02:58--> 00:03:01

want to keep the fast of Mondays Thursdays

00:03:01--> 00:03:02

or you want to keep the white fast

00:03:02--> 00:03:05

or the white days, that that's good. It's

00:03:05--> 00:03:06

also good for your health, by the way.

00:03:06--> 00:03:08

But some of the habits that we kept,

00:03:08--> 00:03:10

keeping away from vain talk, keeping away from

00:03:10--> 00:03:12

idle talk, keeping away from things that were

00:03:12--> 00:03:14

haram, keeping away from things that distracted us

00:03:14--> 00:03:15

from Allah

00:03:16--> 00:03:18

Let's keep some of those things up. Because

00:03:18--> 00:03:20

what happens if we're able to keep some

00:03:20--> 00:03:23

of those habits to Ramadan next year, then

00:03:23--> 00:03:24

we can increase next year, and we can

00:03:24--> 00:03:27

become a better and better person every single

00:03:27--> 00:03:28

year. That is the goal. The goal is

00:03:28--> 00:03:31

that every single Ramadan, we get a little

00:03:31--> 00:03:32

bit better and a little bit better and

00:03:32--> 00:03:34

a little bit better. So now that Allah

00:03:34--> 00:03:36

has given us a clean slate, let's not

00:03:36--> 00:03:38

run out there and, you know, just start

00:03:38--> 00:03:40

dirtying it up again right away. Kind of

00:03:40--> 00:03:41

like when your your wife cleans the house.

00:03:41--> 00:03:43

What is the first thing she tell you

00:03:43--> 00:03:44

to do when you come home? Don't make

00:03:44--> 00:03:46

a mess. I just clean this place. Allah

00:03:46--> 00:03:48

subhanahu wa ta'ala is telling you, I've just

00:03:48--> 00:03:50

cleaned you. I've just given you a new

00:03:50--> 00:03:52

start. Don't go right now and make a

00:03:52--> 00:03:53

whole mess of the place. So let's take

00:03:53--> 00:03:56

this opportunity to celebrate with our family and

00:03:56--> 00:03:58

friends. But I want to remind you as

00:03:58--> 00:03:59

we end the Khubban, sha Allah,

00:03:59--> 00:04:00

that this a'id

00:04:01--> 00:04:02

is

00:04:02--> 00:04:03

a small

00:04:03--> 00:04:04

kind of

00:04:05--> 00:04:08

circumference of what will become a great Eid.

00:04:08--> 00:04:10

What will the great Eid be? The great

00:04:10--> 00:04:11

Eid will be when

00:04:12--> 00:04:14

we all meet in Jannah. When we all

00:04:14--> 00:04:16

meet in Jannah, the great Eid will happen.

00:04:17--> 00:04:17

Prophet

00:04:18--> 00:04:20

said, when all of us have entered into

00:04:20--> 00:04:21

Jannah,

00:04:21--> 00:04:23

when everybody's gone to Jannah, and all of

00:04:23--> 00:04:25

us are there, we're enjoying ourselves,

00:04:26--> 00:04:28

a caller will call throughout Jannah and say

00:04:31--> 00:04:33

peace be upon all the people of Jannah.

00:04:33--> 00:04:35

Allah has asked you to come to to

00:04:35--> 00:04:37

a place to visit him. And there's this

00:04:37--> 00:04:39

big field in Jannah. This is the great

00:04:39--> 00:04:41

day. This is our This will be the

00:04:41--> 00:04:43

aid that we'll never ever forget.

00:04:44--> 00:04:45

And when we're all brought to that place

00:04:46--> 00:04:47

This is this is a long story you'll

00:04:47--> 00:04:48

find in it's

00:04:49--> 00:04:51

a collection of different hadith. When we're all

00:04:51--> 00:04:53

brought to that place, we know our place.

00:04:53--> 00:04:55

Some of us will have thrones

00:04:55--> 00:04:56

of

00:04:57--> 00:04:59

light and jewels and emuls. Some of us

00:04:59--> 00:05:02

will be sitting on cushions of green brocade.

00:05:02--> 00:05:04

Some of us, you know, like myself, we

00:05:04--> 00:05:05

probably just be sitting in the back on

00:05:05--> 00:05:07

the grass somewhere, I'm okay wherever I'm at,

00:05:07--> 00:05:09

inshallah. Long as I get there, it don't

00:05:09--> 00:05:12

matter. But then, Allah will have his throne

00:05:12--> 00:05:14

brought near to that place. And he will

00:05:14--> 00:05:15

come to the people of Jannah, and he

00:05:15--> 00:05:16

will say, peace

00:05:19--> 00:05:20

be upon you, oh people of paradise. And

00:05:20--> 00:05:22

we all respond and say,

00:05:25--> 00:05:27

Oh Allah, you are peace and from you

00:05:27--> 00:05:29

comes peace. And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will

00:05:29--> 00:05:32

say, today is the day of increase that

00:05:32--> 00:05:34

I promised you. Today is the day that

00:05:34--> 00:05:37

I promised you. So ask me for anything,

00:05:37--> 00:05:39

and I'll give it to you. And our

00:05:39--> 00:05:41

response will be, have you not already made

00:05:41--> 00:05:44

our faces bright? Have you not already lightened

00:05:44--> 00:05:47

our scales, and made heavy our good deeds,

00:05:47--> 00:05:49

and entered us into this place? What else

00:05:49--> 00:05:51

could we want? And Allah says, yes I

00:05:51--> 00:05:52

know but still I want to give you

00:05:52--> 00:05:55

something so ask me anything. And there is

00:05:55--> 00:05:57

only one thing we can think of. There's

00:05:57--> 00:05:59

only one thing all of us can think

00:05:59--> 00:06:00

of on that day.

00:06:00--> 00:06:01

And we say, my lord,

00:06:02--> 00:06:04

let us see you. We worshiped you for

00:06:04--> 00:06:05

so long.

00:06:06--> 00:06:08

We worshiped you on this earth and we

00:06:08--> 00:06:11

never saw you. We never we never saw

00:06:11--> 00:06:12

you. We worshiped you as though we did

00:06:12--> 00:06:14

see you. This is the the element of

00:06:14--> 00:06:17

of of of having good consciousness of Allah.

00:06:17--> 00:06:19

To worship Allah as though you see him.

00:06:19--> 00:06:21

If not, know that he sees you. We

00:06:21--> 00:06:22

never saw you so let us see him.

00:06:22--> 00:06:23

And the prophet

00:06:24--> 00:06:26

said that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will lift

00:06:26--> 00:06:28

his veil because Allah has a veil of

00:06:28--> 00:06:30

light that prevents

00:06:30--> 00:06:32

him from being seen in this world. They're

00:06:32--> 00:06:33

being seen anywhere.

00:06:34--> 00:06:34

And the prophet

00:06:35--> 00:06:36

said, there will be a light that will

00:06:36--> 00:06:39

shine all throughout Jannah. And that light is

00:06:39--> 00:06:41

so bright and it is so powerful, that

00:06:41--> 00:06:43

if Allah had not willed, it would have

00:06:43--> 00:06:45

destroyed creation. It would destroy everything.

00:06:46--> 00:06:47

And that day we will be able to

00:06:47--> 00:06:48

meet Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And he will

00:06:48--> 00:06:50

call each and every single one of us,

00:06:51--> 00:06:53

1 by 1 on that day. Remember, time

00:06:53--> 00:06:55

is not a concept anymore. Time doesn't matter.

00:06:56--> 00:06:58

He calls us 1 by 1 by 1.

00:06:58--> 00:07:00

And what does he do? This is the

00:07:00--> 00:07:02

beautiful thing about this. What does he do?

00:07:02--> 00:07:04

He starts telling us about our sins.

00:07:05--> 00:07:07

SubhanAllah. We go for Allah and he starts

00:07:07--> 00:07:09

telling us, you remember that day you disobeyed

00:07:09--> 00:07:11

me? You remember this sin you committed? You

00:07:11--> 00:07:13

remember this transgression? He keeps repeating to us

00:07:13--> 00:07:16

our sins over and over and over again.

00:07:16--> 00:07:18

Until we are afraid, we're gonna be thrown

00:07:18--> 00:07:20

out of Jannah. We're so worried. We're like,

00:07:20--> 00:07:21

oh, we we thought we made it, we

00:07:21--> 00:07:23

didn't make it. So we ask Allah, my

00:07:23--> 00:07:25

lord, can you not forgive me? Can you

00:07:25--> 00:07:26

not have mercy on me? Yes, I know

00:07:26--> 00:07:28

I did all of those things, but can

00:07:28--> 00:07:29

you not have mercy on me? And the

00:07:29--> 00:07:31

Lord reminds us, my slave,

00:07:32--> 00:07:34

had it not been for my mercy,

00:07:34--> 00:07:36

you would not have made it this far.

00:07:36--> 00:07:38

So I have forgiven you. But this is

00:07:38--> 00:07:41

Allah reminding us of his beautiful bounty and

00:07:41--> 00:07:44

mercy. How great is his mercy to us.

00:07:44--> 00:07:46

This is his reminding us. This is the

00:07:46--> 00:07:47

great day of

00:07:48--> 00:07:50

that I hope we all get to celebrate

00:07:50--> 00:07:51

together in Jannah.

00:07:52--> 00:07:53

May Allah

00:07:54--> 00:07:55

accept our fast. May Allah

00:07:56--> 00:07:57

accept our PM. May Allah

00:07:58--> 00:08:00

accept our salah. May Allah accept our recitation

00:08:01--> 00:08:02

in this beautiful month inshallah.

00:08:28--> 00:08:29

Stand up and greet everybody.

00:08:30--> 00:08:33

If I literally just got over a call.

00:08:33--> 00:08:35

I I don't think I'm contagious, but if

00:08:35--> 00:08:37

say salaam to me from a distance inshallah.

00:08:35--> 00:08:37

say salaam to me from a distance inshallah.
