smilla rahmanir rahim al hamdu Lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala rasulillah Allah Allah He was how do

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

we praise the Lord? Allah we send blessings and salutations upon Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, his household his companions We ask Allah Subhana Allah to Allah to bless them to bless every one of us, to grant us goodness in this world as well as in the next,

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

my beloved brothers listeners.

00:00:26--> 00:00:38

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was sent as a mercy not just to mankind but to entire creation. And this is clarified by Allah subhanho wa Taala in the Quran, wherein he says mama oxen naka de la Mata.

00:00:40--> 00:01:29

Indeed we have not sent you except as a mercy for al al Amin. al al Ameen has a very deep meaning. It is inclusive of all the different human beings that will come right up to the end as well as the other creatures of Allah subhanho wa Taala. But primarily, there is no dispute that mankind and jinn kinda included industry, and Allah subhanho wa Taala has favored Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam being the best of creation, the most noble of all prophets. I want you to pause for a moment and think about that rent, someone is your favorite, your closest your most beloved? Would you allow them to see any harm or to be harmed? Would you allow them to go through hardship and difficulty,

00:01:29--> 00:02:17

many of us cannot bear the sight of our own children being sick and ill, many of us will not be able to bear the news of someone going through hardship. And if they are going through difficulty and hardship, we would leave no stone unturned in trying to get them help in trying to ensure that they are dealt with the doctors are there the other day, if they're going through financial crisis, we will try and help them find swift to make sure that the Beloved of ours is actually taken care of. Now, bearing this in mind, what we consider a difficulty and the hardship is very different from what the real loved ones of Allah considered difficulty and hardship. If I were to tell you that the

00:02:17--> 00:03:04

greatest hardship is not the infliction of physical pain on a person, but rather when a person has no when they've gone away from Allah when they've gone astray when they've lost the path, that is now hardship that should be bringing about pain in the heart of the Beloved, to say, you know what, the one I love is actually the one I love is actually not rightly guided. If we see a person we love going away from the path of Allah not giving importance to say, for example, Salah with the correct dress code or something, it should hurt us to the degree that we do something positive about when I say positive. Today, we are dealing with different types of pressure from the communities and

00:03:04--> 00:03:45

societies that we may be living in whereby our children may be not just children, even the adults affected by an environment to the degree that they tend to forget what is the instruction of Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, Allah has instructed us to fulfill us Allah, Allah has instructed us to dress in a certain way to be upright, to stay away from haram dealings, protect ourselves from deception, and so many other instructions we have. But because of the environment, we faltered with a human at the end of the day, we require reminders. But more important than reminding another is how we react to a reminder when it's delivered to us. This is absolutely important because many of

00:03:45--> 00:04:29

us, we take it for granted, we are quick to remind others when they're going wrong. But when we are told even a little bit, we are offended, we feel bad, we feel hurt, we don't want to talk to the person again. Ideally, we should remove meaning who accept correction with open arms, happiness, I really appreciate the fact that you're concerned about me. So that is true hardship when you see someone go astray, we try to guide them but they don't want the guidance. However, when it comes to physical pain, yes, it is a difficulty. But it is not as difficult as the loss from the correct path. Because this one ultimately when it comes to physical pain, physical hardship or sickness,

00:04:29--> 00:04:59

ultimately, we are all going to die is going to be a day where you're going to back back to Allah subhanho wa Taala. And when we die, we will actually be given everlasting bliss by the will of Allah genuine for those who receive that which is everlasting in terms of goodness, by the hope by the will of Allah the hope that we have in the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala and if a person were to die in the condition that they are going to get something else and perhaps be doomed forever, then that is the greatest loss now

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

Whether we are healthy or not, we are struggling to reach the end of this lifespan. As we are sitting here, each breath we take we are subtracting from the total number of breaths that Allah has predestined for us. So, as we live this life, let us understand the temporary moments that we might be down with a flew down with a cough, going through financial problems, social problem, another type of a problem, etc. All these matters that are minor in the eyes of Allah subhanho wa Taala a day for you a day against you a day you are healthy a day you are weak day you lose a loved one a day they will be the birth of another who's also a loved one. This is

00:05:43--> 00:05:54

why I have started this is because with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam being the most beloved, Think for a moment Allah took his father away prior to his birth.

00:05:55--> 00:06:21

One would look at it as a big loss, how can you say Beloved, you are in control and in charge, and you ensure that his father was not there when he was born? There is a reason we may or may not understand it, that is totally irrelevant. We believe Allah did whatever is the best. If I were to ask you, who is the most beloved unto Allah? If your answer is anything besides hammocks, all of a sudden, you're making a huge mistake. It Allah

00:06:23--> 00:07:08

subhanho wa Taala, after a few years, took his mother with some kind of love, imagine an orphan and I say, My most beloved, I told you when I started now, if it was beloved to us, we would ensure a different type of safety, a different type of goodness for that person. Allah is building the most powerful ever to exist among the creatures of Allah Subhana. Allah wounding him, when we are in our comfort zone, my brothers, my sisters, we will never achieve, you've got to get out of the comfort zone, you don't know what your potential is, until you're thrown straight into the deep end, then you now begin to realize I can manage. Many of us think I can't cope, I just lost a job and stuff

00:07:08--> 00:07:12

that a lot. What's going to happen? How am I going to earn what's going to, you know,

00:07:13--> 00:07:21

you get there you have full trust that we will we will provide, you get a better job, and you will be many more than your boss sometimes.

00:07:23--> 00:08:00

Sometimes they're not taking you out of a situation because he wants to give you more. So there might be a puzzle one year, two years. For us, it's depression. But Allah says, Do you not trust me when I can, when I have provided for the mTw that even with a microscope, you might not find because it is tied to the rock, you think such a person that you are not going to provide for him a day for you a day against you, be patient, take it in your stride. And you will see the ones who we love the most have been through much more than you would punish them and polish them in such a way that they were the most shining of all the gems on Earth.

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

So Mohammed, he grew a little bit older, his grandfather took care of him a little while later the grandfather passed away. It's like,

00:08:09--> 00:08:47

you know, we you know, life is abandoned. That's how we are yet because the best thing to happen after the grandfather passed away, the uncle took care of him and you know, moving from pillar to post imagine so Pamela imagined, yet he was determined he did not deter him. But he was an orphan, I think deterred him. He continued, he grew to be a fine young man, never lose hope in the mercy of Allah. He was known as Assad equal. I mean, the most truthful and the most trustworthy, trustworthy from entire village, those who interacted with him, they would trust him with anything as we would say with their lives.

00:08:50--> 00:08:59

But he was born in a certain way, meaning electrodes for him to be an orphan, etc, etc. Today, when you see an orphan child, people, what do they think, Oh, my love mercy, and

00:09:00--> 00:09:25

they are so disadvantaged. That's how we think. And if a child is often the way we treat the child automatically makes the child feel like something is missing. But why don't we remind ourselves that that child has a greater chance of success than us because of the example of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So Allah subhanho wa Taala tells this to us beautifully in the Quran, Allah Mia GDK it

00:09:28--> 00:09:36

wouldn't you an orphan and who gave you Who gave you what you had later on? A lot provided for you so many different ways.

00:09:37--> 00:09:59

Some Hana later on the Prophet sallallahu Sallam received Prophet, he was given at the age of 14. Prior to that he was known as a surgical I mean, the most truthful, the most trustworthy, when he told the people that you know what, I have been sent to you as a messenger. At the time about the cronies. They said, is this, what you're calling us here for you know,

00:10:00--> 00:10:06

How could you How could you say this? We thought you were truthful? What if I never lied to you about

00:10:07--> 00:10:14

merchandise? Well, materialistic things that you guys love? Do you really think I'm going to lie to you about the hereafter?

00:10:15--> 00:10:53

Today someone lies, they probably lie about earning $1 two people want to really, really, you know, become wealthy in the wrong way nowadays, laziness has overtaken some people such that they want to quit. As we say, I'm not worried about sweating working hard, I got to think about how can I make money without working. And because of that, what happens is, we become so depressed that it's not coming. And that leads us to do things that are wrong. Corruption, deception, cheating, stealing, and so on. Allah protect us, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam thereafter.

00:10:55--> 00:11:21

If Allah wanted all of the people of God, he would have accepted the message. The moment the Prophet sallallahu Sallam told them, I'm a messenger. But Allah wanted to test us, you know, you cannot just pass an examination without sweating, we say you sorted for this exam, have you studied hard if you haven't, you're wasting your time. So we work hard, we study the books, we make sure that's when the exam comes in.

00:11:23--> 00:11:24

But if the examiner one time

00:11:26--> 00:11:37

I think in some places, it happens with corruption, you know, they pass you anything, you don't know what happened or didn't happen. And the worst is, in some places, they failed you even if you passed, because you didn't pay them.

00:11:38--> 00:11:39

It happens.

00:11:40--> 00:11:50

So in the case of the hospital, we have a lot to learn a lot to learn here is the profit or loss of the patient. People say he was

00:11:51--> 00:11:59

out and I always say thank Allah, you're not in as much. And they say, How can you say that? I said, because we were in his midst, we don't know which side we would have been on.

00:12:00--> 00:12:08

Because when when someone tells us, Allah says this, and the Quran, and the Hadith says this, if we think for a moment, and we say,

00:12:11--> 00:12:15

speak to people who are new, my brother, you're not going to see.

00:12:16--> 00:12:19

It makes it sound like I need to commit to the emotions.

00:12:20--> 00:12:23

That's what it makes. So imagine,

00:12:24--> 00:12:48

himself saying that you know what, this is how alcohol is harmless. was such out, they literally, you know, got the guns that were there according to some duration, and they threw it away. They didn't worry about how much money it is with us. You know what, there is no way that I can actually save myself from a loss because a lot of money stuck in there. You know.

00:12:50--> 00:12:50

As a result,

00:12:52--> 00:12:58

these people became the wealthiest of all the wealthiest man was known as a man.

00:12:59--> 00:13:39

And there was a stage in his life when he was when he had nothing. Because he was from the Menagerie. They had usurped a lot of his wealth in America. He walked to Medina Manoa, he actually was, you know, in our terms, we use a derogatory term that is refugee, but they were known as subparallel mohar julene. Look at how beautiful attorneys, those who made it, you know, to us, it's an honor that you took care of them that Ansel only became known as unsalted because they were more Argentine in the picture. Otherwise, they will not help us. You're known as a helper. Who did you have, by the way, we help the whole group of people. How many of us would love to be from a

00:13:39--> 00:13:41

mungbean? Sorry, the question is,

00:13:42--> 00:13:43

so someone might say, well,

00:13:45--> 00:13:59

Allah forgive us. If that's the case, what have you done? How much have you sacrificed for Allah? Have you worked hard? So now let's get to the highlight of what I want to say tonight.

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

There was a stage when the prophets Allah said almost

00:14:04--> 00:14:20

to the degree that they surrounded him and those who accepted Islam and stop them from getting deliveries of food, or water or anything in terms of business with nothing, almost a boycott, it was known as a boycott. And it just didn't last a month or two.

00:14:21--> 00:14:23

For one month, you like depressed,

00:14:25--> 00:14:33

but he was boycotted, not for a year, almost three whole years, so much so that the Sahaba the Allahu saying,

00:14:34--> 00:14:55

the leaves of the tree are all intended. We used to suck the roots in order to get some food, some liquid water, the height, forget about the meat of the of the animals, the heights of the animals were being punished and they were consuming the last bit of fat that might have been the some

00:14:57--> 00:14:59

of the most beloved and that goes to show

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

My brothers, my sisters, the happiness of Allah is not connected to how much you have, it's connected to the condition of your heart. Everything can have gone from you, you're still saying online,

00:15:15--> 00:15:27

all on your blessing. Look at what you've given him, and you don't concentrate on what is taken away from you, that is now a man. That is a man. That's what happiness is. That's what contentment is.

00:15:28--> 00:15:47

You don't look at what Allah took away from you, you look at what he gave you, it might make you sad, for example, you lose a loved one, for example, you suffer and it may make you sad, but it should make you closer to Allah. People say how do I live? This is a punishment or if it's a gift from Allah, simple. What's the condition of your heart? That's the answer.

00:15:48--> 00:16:20

If you are contented with the test of Allah that He chose for you, then it's not a punishment, it's a test for you. And if you are so depressed, that you cannot even get up for salah and you're finding yourself as you're being distanced from Allah, then it was indeed a punishment, it's a punishment. That's why you want to get back to Allah thank Allah, Allah gave me this, the other guy is suffering much more than me, Subhana Allah, that's when you're looking at others, and you're looking at how much more difficulty they are going through. Allah subhanho wa Taala help us.

00:16:21--> 00:16:28

They came a stage when the boycott happened after that he lost his uncle.

00:16:30--> 00:16:31

But he was not a Muslim.

00:16:33--> 00:16:33

But

00:16:35--> 00:16:36

he then lost his wife

00:16:38--> 00:16:45

in the same year, and she was a pillar of support all his children he got from one area to

00:16:48--> 00:16:51

the other children were from Saudi Arabia.

00:16:53--> 00:16:54

So he was

00:16:56--> 00:17:11

not questioning the decree of Allah. Oh Allah, why did you take no, no, Allah is the one who decides we are happy with the delivery of Allah, even we are going to go That's why when calamity strikes, someone passes away, we suffer a loss we say in the law.

00:17:13--> 00:17:20

Ultimately, we won't belong to allow we will return to him anyway, every one of us. So if this one returned, well, we are next.

00:17:21--> 00:17:22

If that one is going to

00:17:24--> 00:17:33

enter in a year or two, all of us are the same way back to Allah subhanaw taala. So after that, he decided

00:17:34--> 00:18:09

in order to change environment, because we have a difficulty from the people of correction, we have the boycott that just ended. We have hardship from these people. They're not accepting and presenting the message. I'd like to hope that if Allah allows me to go outside of Mecca, I can go outside of NACA, and maybe there will be people outside who might listen to me. Apparently, you know, sometimes, in your own community, people may not appreciate because you grew up in their minds, they may not want to listen to you, there might be this what happened in muckety, muck around people already in positions already wealthy, etc. It's very hard for them. Listen to a youngster

00:18:09--> 00:18:34

who's telling them what to do, what not to do in their eyes. So when if he were to go out, perhaps he could get someone to listen. And this was the beginning of the tire plan on the job. Because the professor first went out to party. He went to party with the idea of taking the beautiful message, that if the people of Makkah didn't accept, perhaps the people of Cardiff will accept and but it was known as a city.

00:18:36--> 00:18:38

huge city close to Makkah, when Allah says

00:18:39--> 00:18:41

the co founder of Qureshi, Wakanda.

00:18:44--> 00:18:55

Korea taneous Li, you know, they would find an excuse. They said, We don't want to accept the Quran because why was he not revealing to the man from one of these two cities?

00:18:56--> 00:18:57

which were the city's market?

00:18:59--> 00:19:02

Why was it not revealed to a Greek person? You know,

00:19:04--> 00:19:05

original NaVi minakari

00:19:06--> 00:19:29

Why is it to this man look at how he was, it was a test of Allah. So when he went to buy you and I know what happened, it's a story that we repeated time and again, and let me just give you the crux of it. Instead of listening to the message they started abusing him, it started with verbal abuse, it became such that it got to the point of physical abuse,

00:19:30--> 00:19:40

imagined the basics of creation, the direct and obioma law, the most loved by Allah. And here are the people a lot is

00:19:41--> 00:19:59

if Allah wanted he could have destroyed them. And Allah subhanho wa Taala offered Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam also saying that if you want we will destroy them. The angels came with the message that if you want we will crush them bring them these two will come together and they will be the mountains will come

00:20:00--> 00:20:08

Together these people will be crushed. Do you know what happened? Rasulullah Salallahu Salam says no. You know I was sent as a message, Allah.

00:20:11--> 00:20:14

O Allah guide they don't know my people don't know.

00:20:15--> 00:20:55

But as a result, those who threw stones the names went down in the eyes of Allah Allah. So Allah subhanho wa Taala allowed some injustice to occur for a certain time in order to write down the names because justice will ultimately be served in the court of Allah. Whether you get away or not in the court of the dunya is a second attempt, but let's just written it down. This man we tested in this way he cheated, he lied, He punished he abused verbally. And then what happened? Is he abused physically, so he has failed the test, we shall punish him, he got away with it. But hang on, you're not getting away with it. There's one way if you seek forgiveness.

00:20:56--> 00:21:00

So thereafter the prophets of Salaam was saddened even further.

00:21:02--> 00:21:03

And as he's coming back

00:21:05--> 00:21:38

it was known as the year of sadness. Why one after the other thing started happening? You know, you somebody said and the same thing happened when when disaster struck. What happened? They were living happily. Suddenly the brothers became jealous. They decided we take we want to kill this man. Then they said no, it's throwing in the pit. They threw him in the pit. When he was in the pit, he still had hope. Someone came in took him up next thing they sold him that was something even worse. So how are you helping me who you you're making money out of media. They sold it when they sold him. He thought okay, it's going to be everything's going to be okay. The woman started planning and

00:21:38--> 00:21:53

plotting against him that was even worse. And then they lied against him. And they accused him falsely. They made a fool of him. They tried to make a fool of him. And after that they even jailed him which became was impossible. met in six things in the room. With us three things happen. We go to some chef and you say

00:21:59--> 00:22:17

are you going to strengthen your email? Are you going to drop it completely? If you're going to strengthen your mind you say Allah you are testing me you help me You are in control, you are in charge 345 things went wrong, but I have seen that things will go to conviction.

00:22:18--> 00:22:21

So Masuda Salah has been given the gift, what was the gift of

00:22:23--> 00:22:30

Allah subhanho wa Taala gave him what no other Nabhi was given. And that is known as the PSA and

00:22:31--> 00:22:33

the PSA and the Maharaja, we believe

00:22:35--> 00:23:26

that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam was taken in body and soul from Makkah in his own, all the way to be to like this. And it was so big, but he remembered what he saw. And he there he left the other prophets in Salah, and then he was taken right up first Heaven, second, third, fourth, 567 and beyond. And he was brought down. In fact, he was showing gender and gentleman brought down back to his own bedroom. While it was still warm, how I really don't know. But I have total conviction that it happened to me and he has come to us with a lot of means such a large number of people have passed it down the chain that is impossible for such a number to have live.

00:23:27--> 00:23:36

I believe we all do. That's why we are sitting here. Now the question is, when exactly did this happen? The true answer is we don't.

00:23:38--> 00:23:55

So some say the 27th of Ramadan, which means it was the Night of Decree the night known as Al Qaeda. And also on that night was that was part of the power part of the decree of Allah. And that was the night Those are some narrations. Some say no, there was a spelling error.

00:23:56--> 00:24:01

They said, By mistake it was supposed to be Ramadan. So some say it's 27th of Raja.

00:24:03--> 00:24:28

There are other narrations that say no it was in Ruby. And why is there this confusion? The confusion is there to show you that the lesson is more important than the date. If you have known that the date, it would have become such a celebration that that lesson becomes irrelevant. The same applies to look at the Night of Decree the most powerful that the date was known but for some reason.

00:24:29--> 00:24:47

People were arguing fighting. They haven't learned anything we taking the data. In other words, what did they learn? It's supposed to be the most powerful man in existence, The Night of Decree and yet people are arguing and fighting outside. Well forgive us. It happens even in our own generations. But I said

00:24:48--> 00:24:51

why fun and if shaytan is Tiger

00:24:53--> 00:24:59

he's complex from the inside on the humans who are operating on his behalf during Ramadan

00:25:00--> 00:25:17

Allah forgive us. So the data is taken away completely. In order to teach us that look more important than making it one night of celebration, it is a lifetime commitment to Allah. The same applies to Ramadan, it's not one day.

00:25:18--> 00:25:25

Because it's a commitment. The same applies to the season of hedging. It's a season, it starts off immediately after about

00:25:27--> 00:25:33

a month. And the climax is the first 10 days of hedging the most powerful, it's a commitment. And after that

00:25:34--> 00:25:39

there's another 10 powerful days. So this goes to show every one of us that you know,

00:25:40--> 00:26:09

as much as Allah has created nights of differing spiritual value, and seasons of different spiritual value days and nights. What is more important than knowing what the date is, is actually to reform yourself to become a person who's committed to that change? What's the point of every year going through the paces where we then the processor went up in niraj? He saw agenda, this is what he saw in general, he saw Johanna, come back, etc.

00:26:11--> 00:26:14

What was the point? What was the point?

00:26:15--> 00:26:19

So that is the crux of it. We don't know the date. Number two.

00:26:21--> 00:26:33

People say you should fast on this day, it should be fast on this day on you should do this on that day, or you should give out sweetmeats because it was a gift of Allah, you should do this do that. All of that was not done by Rasulullah sallallahu Sahaba? No.

00:26:35--> 00:27:15

No, any one of the 40 months, none of them. For them. What was it? They didn't even gather to celebrate. There was no celebration as such. But rather, the lesson was, they taught it they learned it and it wasn't taught once again. Many times whenever the occasion came like the hobby, speaking of old people, be conscious of Allah, we don't just wait for one day. Rather be conscious of Allah, let's be conscious of Allah. It's a message that comes every single time you are hearing a message coming from Allah, it's part of the message, you reminded of reminded of truthfulness, of practice. That's what life is all about, to connect myself to purify myself in two ways, with my relationship

00:27:15--> 00:27:20

with Allah and my relationship with the rest of the creatures of the same Allah, if I have lost that,

00:27:23--> 00:28:00

because it becomes like people of other faiths who made their religion into the seasons. And now in their days of happiness, it's just a celebration where they don't even know what sinful and what's not sinful anymore. I've sat with people of other faiths explained to me, what are the commandments? What are the sins, they'll give you a bonus if they know it, but they do they go according to this, you know, that's just the list you need to memorize. That's what we are starting to reduce our Deen to we know what's right and wrong. Hey, that's what the whole once you get a grade, you can start looking into the theme, you know, that's why now people are great.

00:28:02--> 00:28:03

Grant us ease.

00:28:04--> 00:28:13

So this is the issue. There's no specific fast or specific act of worship, neither in Nepal, nor in the sun.

00:28:14--> 00:28:19

But there is something you and I need to do every day. And that is a commitment to Allah.

00:28:20--> 00:28:59

So it's a commitment, I need to improve myself today. Tomorrow, every day, I need to do more to learn the seal of the promise or Salah, I need to make sure that I'm getting closer to Allah and not further away as I'm getting older. Am I becoming a better person in two ways? Like I told you, the quality was good. The processor was asked us those people in general, what are the qualities they have that made them Get Genuine, he says they have talked to a lot they have customers they have their connection with Allah is important. And the way they treat the rest of the creatures of Allah is in order. That's the meaning of your character and conduct on one hand and your login with a law

00:28:59--> 00:29:00

on the other.

00:29:02--> 00:29:04

So I need to develop sometimes

00:29:05--> 00:29:16

the way we treat other human beings is a deficiency rather you're minimizing your chances of going to the places that everyone wants to go. Sorry that's not Nando's by the way.

00:29:19--> 00:29:30

And so Pamela, if you are very beautiful in your character and conduct but you've taken a lot of evasion, committing and even Allah subhanho wa Taala

00:29:31--> 00:29:59

so those are the two matters I wanted to clarify. Sometimes the llama who says don't get on a day with the 27th of Raja peas rather gather on the 20th or maybe outside of her job. There are so many opinions because they would not like it to become self aware. A today's big night let's go rather every night is actually a big night because every night Allah is calling out to you and I are you seeking forgiveness tonight is your last one.

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

One day is going to be like that. You got a few more minutes to go What are you doing? May Allah Subhana Allah Allah grant us the Shahada.

00:30:10--> 00:30:22

So my beloved brothers sisters, let's understand that Allah subhanho wa Taala has blessed us he has bestowed upon us feeling these were two very important points to understand regarding Mira.

00:30:24--> 00:30:28

Similarly, there comes a point about people who just come around and say

00:30:29--> 00:30:51

robotic etc, etc. meraj itself was definitely mobarak that's not the greeting in Islam. The greeting of Islam is Salam aleikum. So we rather repeat salaam aleikum wa mentioned in the Quran mentioned in the Hadith mentioned as the greeting of the people of Jenna mentioned as the greeting from Allah to the people of gentlemen and you want to replace it with something.

00:30:52--> 00:31:26

Okay, let's not replace it. You know, people ask me, okay, we don't know the date, but Friday, you know, every Friday, what about Joomla? So we will tell them, don't replace the greeting of Islam, but you might want to add something after that which may be from your culture tradition. You want to say Good morning, sir. You don't start off by saying good morning man is a Muslim. Greetings Salam aleikum. Good morning, how are you? Etc. You first before anything else. So it may not be wrong to say tomorrow on condition that you have not replaced the salon when

00:31:27--> 00:31:30

you first started the salon, then you can have Jamal Barack

00:31:31--> 00:31:54

Obama called me. But sometimes on the day of Ed, we don't get it. Sometimes on the day, we replace the salaamu imambara because it seems like that the Congress the greeting of that day, whereas the greeting of the days to Salah if Allah says to him, Yo, melco new salam, even on the day, they're in the afternoon, when they meet that greeting will be Salaam.

00:31:56--> 00:31:57

But the day is higher than

00:31:58--> 00:32:16

the greeting is an app. So the point I hope is loud and clear. The greeting of a minister salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. You do so after that, you can say you shall do Mubarak and whatever else eat Mubarak and every other one come May Allah subhanho wa Taala, grant us blessing.

00:32:18--> 00:32:28

And the last point I want to raise this evening is my beloved brothers and sisters, whenever you are facing hardship and difficulty, lesson you learn from the entire story of

00:32:29--> 00:32:41

you persevere, you're a man must develop your yaqeen must build a conviction in Allah that He will help and voila, he by the help of Allah, you will have a gift from Allah in the dunya before.

00:32:42--> 00:32:47

It won't be in the form of marriage, because obviously, that's the law.

00:32:48--> 00:32:53

But it will be in the form of something that will make you happy, something that will be good when you're going through hardship.

00:32:55--> 00:33:01

What can we say now? How many years was the breakup? Three after that, what happened another year and how many years in a row?

00:33:02--> 00:33:16

They came a day when Allah gave him something that his yekini was beautiful. You know, I was reading something today. Very interesting. It says, imagine when the prophets of Allah Salaam saw Jenna, imagine,

00:33:17--> 00:33:20

and he had to come back to the Giuliana.

00:33:21--> 00:33:28

I really don't know. But imagine you went to gender people, not even gender. They jumped the border. They don't want to come back.

00:33:30--> 00:33:36

They go to another country. They don't want to come back to Jamaica, what will happen but he had a mission

00:33:39--> 00:33:41

mentioned this, but we know it's a common problem, right?

00:33:46--> 00:33:57

So this is the thing that Allah has tested you one problem, another problem has become closer to Allah. And the day will come when Allah He will smile all the way

00:33:58--> 00:34:26

along, open your doors. Look at the last point that comes to my mind. My 30 minutes are up. But I can take a few more minutes, when it comes to my mind is you know, when Abu sufian and the others went to a sham, and they met the ambassador or the regional leader of that Byzantine Empire. And he asked them questions. And he said this man is he like this is he like that? And this was a Caucasian person.

00:34:27--> 00:34:49

And he asked him questions. And they answered the questions. He said, How is this man claiming to be a prophet? What are his characteristics? What is this? What is that who follows him Who doesn't? So many questions? I'm not going to say that but at the end, you know what he said? He said what? If what you are saying is true. He is going to be in control and in charge of the land and under my feet here.

00:34:51--> 00:34:51

They will

00:34:53--> 00:34:59

know we can do anything to him right now you are saying that he's going to be ruling under your feet here. So far away.

00:35:00--> 00:35:01

Guess what, he won't even beyond that.

00:35:03--> 00:35:41

So Pamela, they will argue this is something that really makes me smile. When I think of the greatness of Allah. They were fighting over the muckety muck aroma and some little control of pieces of land there. Hang on, don't worry, temporarily this might, it might be might allow him to be somewhere, we're going to make sure that the whole picture when you see it later on, you'll realize why Allah did everything one by one, in order for us to open the doors of victory in the way up to tiama Modi the biggest. That's what happened.

00:35:43--> 00:35:48

Right now, today on the globe, there are more Muslims than ever before in history.

00:35:50--> 00:36:10

Approximately 2 billion Muslims they've never been so many people forget about what sex they belong to. But so many people making such stuff for Allah? Never. And when did it start with the persecution of the people of Makkah, those who were on the wrong side, they got against verses like that. But yeah.

00:36:12--> 00:36:16

And the others who are on the right side, they were told about the gentlemen,

00:36:17--> 00:36:55

you are from gentlemen, the choice. So for us also there is a choice when there is truth and falsehood. When there is darkness, light and dark. It's up to us to make sure that no matter what the circumstances, we say what what is correct what is right. It is pleasing to Allah, we don't displease Allah and we remain steadfast. A day will come when we will see this victory. Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us goodness in this world and the next day, I mean, he helped us every one of us is going through different issues, different problems, different difficulties, different hardships, and we all look at it from a different angle and perspective. May Allah strengthen all of

00:36:55--> 00:37:11

us, and the main cause such that those who are really suffering across the globe today without the house without food without clothing, who are being bombed unnecessarily by parties who don't know why they're doing it, and these people don't know why they're being bombed. May Allah Subhana Allah Allah,

00:37:12--> 00:37:21

Allah help them Allah subhanho wa Taala opened their doors, our problems are nothing compared to this. Allah subhanho wa Taala makers from those who are compassionate
