For now.
My dear brothers and sisters, we've entered into the most blessed days of the year.
We have entered into the first 10 days of the month of the ledger. The Prophet alayhi salatu salam said narrated by Imam Muhammad and his most noted that there are no days in which deeds are more beloved to Allah there are no days that are more beloved to Allah or days where their good deeds are more beloved to Allah than the first 10 days of the hedger. So increase in your Danila, your Takbeer and your technique, meaning in these days increase in your vicar of Allah subhanho wa Taala reciting La Ilaha illa Allah reciting Allahu Akbar reciting Alhamdulillah there are more benefit in these 10 days than any days throughout the year, even the last 10 days of the month of Ramadan. Now the last
10 nights of the month Ramadan are the best of nights, but the best of days are these 10 days and these are days where Allah subhanahu wa NS one by them. And
in these 10 days, we can draw nearness to Allah subhanho wa Taala but also if you think about the rites of Hajj, this is something I just wanted to take a pointment part of these 10 days and expound upon it today. Insha Allah hooter, Anna,
these are the days of Hajj and Hajj is a amazing, an amazing journey, recounting the story of Prophet Ibrahim alayhi salam, and at the end of it, all of this is leading, you know, you go and do all of the rites of Hajj, but what we're actually trying to lead up to is the ninth of Dhul Hijjah, what is known as Yama Arafa. Or as referred to as your ml Hajj, this is the day of Hajj, because this is the day where the Hajaj stand on the plane of Arafa. They stand there naked with covering themselves with towels, they stand there hot, they stand there sweating, they stand there dusty, and they spend all day long from after fajr to after author and all they do is beg Allah subhanho wa
Taala begging from him begging him from for everything they've ever wanted in life. But the one thing that the her judge beg Allah subhanho wa Taala for more than anything is for him to release them of their sins. Because the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam said that Allah Jalla wa Ala in His Majesty and Ana in a way that befits him, unlike his creation, descends to the lowest heaven on this day. And he looks at all of these people, even though he is well aware. Whenever Allah asked a question, the question is for the benefit of those who hear the answer, because Allah subhanho wa Taala is I mean, he knows all things. He asked the angels who are in the lowest heavens, who are
these people? What have they come here for? What are they doing? And the angels respond to our Lord, they have come here to beseech you, they have come here to ask you, they've traveled from all over the globe, they've taken such hard journeys, they've gone through hard rites, for those of you who have made Hajj, you know how difficult it can be now on Hamdulillah, they have made things a bit easier for the judge. But for those of you who made Hajj before that, you know that there were plenty of times where you felt like this might be it. You know, I have had a couple of times when doing the stoning of the Jamaat, where I thought like that's it, you know, I mean, this is where I'm
going to meet the angel of death. So they've gone through all of that just to get to this ground, to talk to you and to ask of you and Allah subhanho wa Taala says, what are they asking? What do they want from me?
And the angels say, Our Lord, they're asking you to forgive them. They have come all this way. They have done all these rites, they've done all this hardship just to seek your forgiveness, my lord. And Allah subhanho wa Taala will say, all of you that are here witnessing this all of the angels in the lower heavens witness that on this day, I have forgiven them of their sins. I have released them I'm the burden
Since
this is the greatest of the rights of Hajj is the release of the sins of the Hajaj. This is also the day where we remember the anniversary of the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam giving us
the Farewell Sermon and I don't want to go through that because we've discussed it on this memoir. But there is something I want to point out to you today to think about in these 10 days.
In one of the chapters of the Quran, the Prophet alayhi salatu salam used to frequently recite and in salaam Jumeirah in Surah, Ayana, Allah subhanho wa Taala asked a very short question. He asks a very short question that if you stop and think and actualize it leads to a defining of purpose for us, Allah asked us for a new moon, where are you going? Where is your destination? Allah as a beautiful in the way it's phrased, the way it's phrased is, is the way you would talk to someone you truly care about someone you love, someone you have immense love for you would talk to them in this in this language for ancient, where are you going? What is your destination? What is your purpose in
who were in the Corolla? I mean, this is nothing but a reminder to all of creation. So to these for these 10 days, I want us to ponder this concept. Where are we going? Where is our destination in life, and it shouldn't be looked at in stages in stages, that yes, we should always be worried about where we're going today. Like, you know, you need to know where you're going. If you have no purpose, you're just wandering aimlessly. There is no success for dunya without a plan, you cannot just success doesn't just fall into most people's lap.
It is a very, very, very high unlikely probability that success in this life is just going to fall in your lap. And yes, you were born into it or something of that nature. But that is a super small, small, small minority of people success for dunya, which we are allowed to strive for. Allah told us to strive for it, he told us to ask for it rather than attina for dunya. Hassan, we want the best of this life. Nowhere have I read in the Quran. Nowhere have I read in the son of the Prophet Lisa that was Sam or asked Elena does Allah commanded us to be poor? Does Allah commanded us to be downtrodden does Allah commanded us to be weak? Does Allah commanded us to have nothing? No, this is not the
case. If this was the case, then all of the Companions would have been broke, they would have been miserly, they would have miserable they would have been miski. But we know that is not the case with many of them, Allah bless them in their businesses, because of their love for Allah Subhana Allah and His Messenger, and they're giving him the sake. So Nowhere Allah has told us that he wants the best for us for Dawn, you will hear, but you cannot be successful in this life without knowing what you're doing, without having a plan without having a vision without having a concept of what you want to accomplish and goals. So find it. Where are you going in this life that needs to be defined,
you need to know what you're doing? How could we say that we want the entire world to be like us, if we are not successful, if we are downtrodden, if we are not even able to help ourselves and help our own community and help the people around us. Success breeds success and people envy that and they want that. So we should always be worried about where we're going in this life. But the higher purpose of that every single day, is to make sure that everything we do is pleasing to Allah subhanho wa taala. When am I free first teachers who I had the opportunity to live with, for a number of years used to reiterate to this to me so many times, that you should, no matter what you
do with your life, always try to stick to two principles. And if you always check these two principles, then you will find tremendous success in this life. And you will find that Allah will be pleased with you in the next life. He said number one, do not do anything, do not do anything. If it is not pleasing to Allah and you cannot say Bismillah with a clean heart before doing it. If you cannot say the name of Allah subhanho wa Taala before doing an act, and you know that it is not pleasing to Allah, stay away from it, stay away from it. And he said number two, ask yourself before doing anything, when I read this in my book of deeds while I'm standing for 50,000 years waiting to
be judged by Allah. Well, I'd be happy to read this in my book, if you will not stay away from it. These are some smaller devices that he gave me. He said if you make a mistake helva always repent. He said Never Give Up repenting, never give up hope and repenting. Never think you've repented too much make Toba again and again and again and again and again every time every single time even if you commit the same sin 100 times make 100 times because you will find that Allah is more forgiving than you can be sinful. So we have to know our purpose in this life every single day in order to be successful in it. But beyond that, we have to remind ourselves of the end purpose of this life that
is death, the end purpose of this life for every single soul, this is the one unique factor that is synonymous amongst all of creation. I cannot promise you will be successful. I cannot promise you that you will have children. I cannot promise you that you will get married. I cannot promise you that you have a big bank account.
On a nice car and a nice home, I cannot promise you anything in this life except that I can promise each and every single one of you muslim, non Muslim, Jew, Christian, atheist, pagan, agnostic, deist you will die, you will die and you don't know when you will die. This is synonymous amongst all creation, you will die and you don't know when it will be. Allah subhanho wa Taala promised this
tool not every soul shall have the means taste, just have a habit have a bit of death. Death is not permanent. That is not the end. Allah subhanho wa Taala is reminding us with this verse that death is only a checkpoint into the next world it is a checkpoint, it is the end of this life and the beginning of the next it is that checkpoint in life where this comes to an end dunya comes to an end and you enter into what is known is that which comes next that which comes after that which comes last. We need to remind ourselves of that fact constantly. Because when Allah asked us for a new moon, one of the guaranteed places that you are going is in the ground, in the grave. Your soul is
going to die, your body is going to die. Allah has promised us this promises this so we have to remember that when ALLAH ask us where are you going beyond our daily menial life that we're trying to be successful in. Always remember that death is right behind this. Death is always ready to catch us at any moment with no warning that does not send emails, he's not going to send you a text message is not going to DM you on Facebook. He is not going to send you a snap letting you know I'm on my way. when death approaches it is too late. And it will catch almost all of us when we're not ready. Almost every single soul will be caught by death when they're not ready. This is why Allah
subhanho wa Taala says when they come to take this old they will say your ideology Oh my Lord send me but early on in a Saudi heavy metal right so that I can do some good with that which I left behind. So remember even in your daily life, to prepare yourself for that inevitable meeting with the angel of death. And after that comes the meeting with Allah subhanho wa Taala that is the third portion of fame that had their own where you going? reminding ourselves of the final destination. The final destination is on the plane of judgment. This is what they have out of out of reminds us of it's a dress rehearsal for the AMA where we will stand for 50,000 years and we don't know what
our standing will be like. We don't know what our standing it will be like we be one of those people who will be standing worried getting our book in our left hands behind our back our sweat drowning us our deeds killing us our chains weighing us down our faces dragging to one side all of the things that Prophet alayhi salatu salam warned us about is that going to be us? If you don't ever in your life think that that could be you than your Eman need some some boosting? We should be worried about our own sins. The believer is one who sees his sins as if it's a mountain over his head waiting to crush him. The monad 15 The hypocrites the one who does not have Iman sees their sins as a fly
buzzing in front of their face and they just lazily swatted away. You should always be worried about your own. You should always be worried about your own hypocrisy. There was a young man at a time of the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam, his name? His name was 100 Allah Allah, Allah Who an Abu Bakr saw him one day in the streets of Medina. He was known for being pious, he was known for his piety. He was known for his Taqwa Abu Bakr rediem Salaam, Alejandra How you doing because his face look dreadful. He said, Stay away from me. Number 400. I have become a hypocrite. I have become a hypocrite and Obamacare shocked but what happened? How did? How did you become a hypocrite? Why are
you just claiming it to everybody? He said when we're with the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam. He tells us about Jana is as if I can see it and smell it. He tells us about Nora about the fire is as if I can feel it and I'm afraid of it. Then I go home to my family. You know when I become relaxed in my environment at home, and I don't feel the same way when I hear Allah speak about Jana. When I hear the verses not it doesn't affect me the same way my Iman fluctuates therefore I am a hypocrite. So Abu Bakr, Radi Allahu Han said if this was indeed and if I'm a hypocrite to because I have the same thing. So let's go to the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam and ask him about this. And they they
told the Prophet alayhi salatu salam what they said and he kind of left you know, like, you know, okay, let me tell you something, he said. If you were like you are when you're with me all the time, you know, the last 10 days of Ramadan, right? Your Iman is high. You know, when you're standing around the Kaaba making Ahmadinejad your Eman is up there. Those are days in the last 10 nights of Ramadan where you're like chiffon, I wish you would you look at you locked up today, it would be me and you and I would win this battle.
But after that, what happens two months after Ramadan
Aren't you avoiding ship on at all cost? You're seeking refuge and left right and center trying to keep him away from you because your iman is weakened.
The Prophet alayhi salatu salam said if you would like you are when you were with me all the time, angels would leave the heavens, they would come down to earth. They would greet you in the streets, shake your hands and give you blood tidings of Jannah. He said, but it's not like this. He said Eman rises and falls, even fluctuates. Amen fluctuates. This is part of our repeater that Eman has some variance to it and we feel this ourselves. It's a thing that we can actually quantify that we feel our Eman rise and fall based upon how close we are to Allah through good deeds, how close we are to the book of Allah subhanho wa Taala how close we are attached to the masjid etc so on and so forth.
We can increase that Iman.
So we need if you are not worried at all ever about your own account on the day of judgment, then there is a problem. All of us shouldn't be afraid that ALLAH SubhanA wa Tirana is going to throw us into the fire. The place of the believer is between hope and fear. They are hopeful that Allah will forgive them but they are also very afraid that Allah subhanho wa Taala will punish them and throw them into the fire. So when Allah asked us Where are you going, we should keep these three phases of our life are always in front of us. That yes, we have a daily life we must live. You cannot sit in the masjid all day long and make vicar and expect that ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada is going to pay your
bills and give you sustenance, that's not the way it works. Even the birds Allah says He feeds them, but they have to go out, they have to go out they don't sit in their nest and wait for seeds to drop out of the sky. No they go out and they seek that Allah has promised that if they do so they come back every day for so we have to go out and seek that system is trusting in Allah Subhana Allah to Allah seeking halal from Allah subhanho wa Taala and he will provide for us making dua for the success of our matters, make it harder for important things. This is what made this companion successful in this life is believing in Allah trusting in him making sure that the business they
were involved in was halal, making sure that they sought ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala as aid and assistance through esta hora, making sure that they were generous, making sure that they were charitable, making sure they give more than they took, etc. So on and so forth. So we think about that phase of our life that we're living until the Angel of Death meets us. Then the second phase of our life is when ALLAH SubhanA wa Addisons the angel of death. And when he says the Angel of Death, it's too late. There's no going back, there is no arguing there's no debating there's there's nothing, it's over. It's done for you. When you meet the Angel of Death, The Barza has already been
put in front of you, you can't go back. And then after that is nothing except your deeds. You have nothing left at that point except your deeds. That's it. And if you have no deeds Lexa Otto geria things that will continue to benefit you after you're gone like knowledge that has been passed on charity that continues to benefit people, righteous children who make dua for you, then what you've done is what you've done, and that's all you have. And that is a scary fact, to know that each and every single one of us when we are put in the ground, when we are put in the ground and the soul is reunited,
there will be a companion. For every single one of us in the grief, every single one of us will be given a companion in the grief for those whom Allah subhanho wa Taala has blessed and his favorite and is honored. A beautiful looking figure will come into your grave and sit next to your head. And the question will be Who are you Oh beautiful, beautiful creation of beautiful soul, what are you who are you and they will respond that we are your good deeds. Allah subhanho wa Taala has manifested us as your good deeds to keep you company and give you glad tidings to the day of judgment. And every morning and every evening they will be reminded the Promise of Allah is true.
And that Jen is for you. And they will call out every single day you get robbed at the Messiah, my Lord established the hour I want my reward. I want my promise from you. Those who have been determined to be punished by Allah subhanho wa Taala and who have earned the wrath and anger of Allah, Muslim, non Muslim, it doesn't matter whoever is earned the anger and wrath of Allah in Africa, and who has a mountains of evil deeds than a very ugly, disgusting, stinking figure will appear in their grave and sit next to them. And they will say what are you Oh, filthy creation you you are terrifying, what are you? And they respond I am your evil deeds. I am your set yet I am your
misdeeds and Allah has created me to remind you of all the evil deeds you have done in every single morning and afternoon they will be reminded of the punishment of Allah Subhana Allah to Allah. We seek Allah's aid and protection from his punishment, and the punishment of the grave and the punishment of the effort. I mean, but Allah is asking us shortly, simply beautifully, for Aina tebboune, where you're going, my slave, my dear slave, my slave whom I love, because I created you. The Prophet alayhi salatu salam said Allah loves every single soul he created more than a mother loves her child, but most of them are determined to throw themselves into the fire. He is saying to
you find that afternoon where you going? This is nothing but a reminder to the Lord of All the Worlds remember your purpose. Remember this life but don't forget the next. This life is short. It's temporary. It's fleeting, this fleeting this life it's like it's like saying
through an hourglass sand dripping, dropping, dripping never to be returned and it's going very quickly. But after that is so long, Allah subhanho wa Taala reminds us again in the same chapter, balance, the ruin and hate the dunya. But no, you prefer the life of this one, when Earth era to Cairo, whatever. But the hereafter is not only better, it's everlasting. It's permanent, the short, fleeting life, that's what you chase. And the accurate is forever and you don't put any account to it. So my small advice insha, Allah, Allah and these 10 days is let's start a a habit of being proportionate with the amount of effort we put in of this life versus the next life. This life is so
short, it's so fleeting. It is only a glimpse of a moment on the day of the AMA, Allah will ask us how long did you stay in that world we will say but a day, but a portion of a day, a few hours, maybe it is so short, and Africa is forever it's everlasting, we should weigh our life and ask ourselves, Am I putting in proportional effort for akhira which is forever that I am putting in for this dunya which is very small and very meaning meaningless in the real scheme of things yes, I want a nicer car I want a nice home you we want to live comfortably, but I might putting in is similar effort or even more for the Afghan which we will live forever one of the self was asked, why is it
that we hate that so much? Why do we or why are we displeased with that so much, he said, because no one wants to leave that which they have built for that which they have destroyed. No one wants to leave this life which they have spent a lifetime building up for their asset of which they have destroyed in the certain in the search of making this dunya comfortable for them.
That was definitely welcome.
hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah were early he was definitely a Janine and I
we have a unique opportunity in these 10 days to seek
a means back to Allah. The believers always looking for a means to return to Allah subhanho wa taala. They're always looking for an outlet on which they can get back to the Lord with some ease, with some ease we and Allah has given us days like this nights like this, and we are approaching these and we are in these 10 days and in these 10 days is the greatest of them. The ninth of Dhul Hijjah, which the Prophet alayhi salatu salam said whoever fests the ninth of April hedger seeking His reward or her reward only from Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, He will forgive them of their sins. This is the reward that Allah has given for the for those who have not been able to accompany the
hijab and make the rites of Hajj. So use these 10 days, increase your remembrance of Allah Subhana Allah with an increase your good deeds, increased timing of relations with kith and kin and family, if you've had problems with your family, make amends in these 10 days, increase your sadaqa for Allah subhanho wa Taala Anna and whatever good that you can, can save yourself with do so this was the advice of the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam to his wife, Aisha Radi Allahu and our Baha. He said save yourself from hellfire even as with half a date, save yourself from the hellfire, even if it's with half of a date, meaning whatever is in your possession, whatever you are capable of use it
to save yourself from the wrath and the punishment of Allah. This is taqwa. This is the purest form of Taqwa Taqwa means a shield, a barrier, putting things between you and the Wrath of Allah subhanho wa taala. We want to try to separate ourselves from the Wrath of Allah. We want to push Jahannam as far away from us as we can, and we want to bring Janna as close to us as we can. That is only possible with the things that you have in your your your your capabilities. If Allah has blessed you with money, use that money Allah has given you a gift, a gift which you can use to earn his pleasure and push the Hellfire away from your face. On the day of PMA if you have not used it to earn the
pleasure of Allah, you will regret every single penny. You regret every single penny and wish you could have it back. And if you could have it back, you'd spend every single dollar of it seeking the pleasure of Allah subhanho wa Taala if Allah has blessed you with talents, skills, use those skills to earn the pleasure of Allah subhanho wa Taala are those skills will be meaningless to you on the Day of PM. I don't care how many degrees you get and what university you got them from. If they do not help you on your path to paradise on the day of judgment that will be meaningless to you meaningless you they won't even matter they won't even be worth the paper they were printed on. If
you did not use them to earn the pleasure of Allah subhana who went to Anna, if Allah has blessed you with time, some of us have free time mashallah some of us live lives of leisure. If you've been given time, use that time for the service of Allah subhanho wa taala. Use your time to help them massage and use your time to help the dower organizations use your time to help the orphans, the needy, those who are less fortunate that time will become commodity for you. Time is the one commodity that wants it
leaves us, if we have not used it wisely, it's gone. You can't earn it back, you can lose money left and right and get it back, you can become bankrupt and become wealthy and become bankrupt and become wealthy all in the span of a decade. But time, time is the one commodity, once it is spent, it is spent. That's it. And if it was not spent for the pleasure of Allah, it's gone to waste it. But once it's spent for the pleasure of Allah subhanho wa Taala time becomes a weight on your scale, on the Day of Judgment, it will be turned into currency, on your scale of good deeds. On the Day of Judgment. We've been given time and these 10 days, you have to find time. That is one of the
greatest questions I've always been asked. And whenever you know, I have sit downs with dinners after talks and lectures, traveling the world with youth, whether you should how do you accomplish anything, you're traveling the globe all the time, you're pursuing your master's degree at hamdulillah finished now pursuing a PhD, you have children, you're doing a podcast, you there's so many things that looks like you're doing how in the world do you have time, and I say you make time for those things which matter to you. Things that matter to you, you schedule time for them, those become priorities. And for those who seek the pleasure of Allah with their time, he makes time
extended for them. I don't want to have to try to get esoteric and mystical in the sense, but for those who seek the pleasure of Allah with their time, Allah makes their Time Stretch, stretch, because there are people who are doing a whole lot and they seem like they have no time and they get nothing done. Because they're not seeking any pleasure of Allah Subhana Allah to Allah in their efforts, and there are those people who I've met through my lifetime who are so busy, I learned from them so busy you figure how do they get so much done, and you'll see that they spend a lot of their time seeking the pleasure of Allah subhana wa. So Allah favors them with their time and extends it
for them. Time is a creation of Allah subhanho wa Taala it is not black and white for every single one of us. Time is relative time is relative. So spend it seeking ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala is favor and honor and may Allah bless us in this 10 days may Allah grant us the ability to seek his forgiveness in these 10 days. May Allah bless May Allah bless all of the Hajaj who have left from our community and all over the globe. We accept that from them. May He forgive them and grant them goodness and failure for dunya will akhira Robin attina for dunya Hasina Well Phil Irati, Hassan Latina other than
