we thank Allah we praise him and we've
witness that there is no God but one God
Allah
is his prophet and messenger
you conveyed the message he showed us
the straight path that will lead us to
success in this world and in here after
May Allah's peace and blessings and
salutations be upon his beloved prophet
and Messengers
remind us in the Quran of taqwa taqwa
and we always like to
bring back that Iman
plus Amal equals
more than 60 times almost 63 times in
the Quran Allah
always
Iman alone is a passive Iman and that's
not Islam a man without action is not
Islam it's a different religion you just
have to believe that's not Islam
amen without Iman
just keep on doing rituals rituals
rituals but there is no deep Iman that's
not Islam
but
Iman plus Amal an Amal here means the
things that you should do and the things
that you should not do it includes
and Haram
the things that you should be doing and
the things you should not be doing when
you practice all of that the result is
you have an active faith not a passive
Faith you have uh energizing faith not
stagnance
face that will make you sleepy lazy and
tired and sit down and do nothing
this is what we are reminded
in the beginning
I recited only one of them
all you who believe be mindful of Allah
and pay attention to what you're saying
Speak
the truth
Allah will fix your deeds will forgive
your sins and whosoever obeys Allah in
his messenger he has truly has won The
Greatest Prize
foreign
there is
so
so I remind myself first and foremost
and I remind you my dear brothers and
sisters about Iman
and the father of the Iman and the
importance of the Iman
and we're today standing on Friday
with four values
the value of today is quadrupled
Allah that's Allah's father Grace
blessing that Allah gives whomever he
pleases
shall Allah gives us today's father
number one today's jummah
and the prophet sallallahu said
and today
the birthday of the week as in the
Hadith
is
the day Allah created Adam today Allah
made Adam into Jannah they may Allah
made Adam into Earth come down to earth
and the day of judgment and if someone
passes on Friday it's a good sign
the day of judgment
number two
this Friday falls into one of the four
forbidden months
number seven eleven twelve and one
and these four sacred forbidden months
we are forbidden from oppressing
ourselves
with shirk with kufur and with Mafia
disbelief associating parties with Allah
or disobedience
we try our best in these four months not
to get into that
number three today
is one of the days of the month of the
is not only one of the Sacred months but
it's also the month of we are in one of
the months of al-hajj the name the month
that its name was taken from the month
that has Hajj in it
the month that Hajj belongs in a zoo
the one that something belongs to
in Allah Allah
has so much
blessings upon people but people don't
realize Allah is the one that father
belongs to him Grace and blessings and
good things belong to him
so Hajj belongs to this month
the month with Hajj in it
and the fourth value of today that is
the second day of the first 10 days of
dulhija a mind-blowing you know a gift
from Allah and his Messengers
a mind-blowing gift of forgiveness a
booster an Energizer
just in case you calm down and you
forgot because Ramadan has been two
months ago
just in case you cooled off
and you're not interested and excited
anymore here is another
Energizer for 10 days
no better 10 days for Good Deeds than
these 10 days
because they are in the month of
in the month of a sacred forbidden month
they are in the first 10 days and they
are the whole ummah is doing something
the people who go to Hajj are performing
to Hajj and people who are not going to
Hajj are busy
taking advantage of this season of
al-hajj
rasulullah
connected us with Hajj even though we're
not going to head in four different ways
one
he told us to slaughter on the day of
Faith like the judge slaughtered on the
day of eight it's just they call it
yomun the day of Slaughter
Ed
what's the name of the Day of Faith if
you are in Hajj it's called the day of
Slaughter that's the name of the Day of
Faith
and it's the busiest day in Hajj it's
the day that you throw the big Jamara
one Jamara Jamara
it's the day that you slaughtered the
lamb it's the day that you shave or trim
your hair it's the day that you make
tawaf inside or you can delay it to
another day the tawafan side three out
of four gets you out of the state of
Iran if you are in Hajj so that's why
you find most of the judge they do their
Jamara then they do their Slaughter then
they shave their hair and then they
delay tawafan side to another day it's
the busiest day the Day of Faith
so today your manjuma is one of the
first 10 days
the prophet sallallahu give us the
secret and insight
insight to the value of these 10 days
and explaining the Insight that was
given to us in the beginning of Surat
al-fajr
by the crack of dawn and by the first 10
nights or by the the ten nights
is anything that goes in twos and twos
and wicker is the one that goes only in
one and the only one that has no partner
and no similar and no second to him is
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that's why
rasulullah told us
Allah is you know odd and he loves the
odd which is
the last one that you pray last one you
pray in your Namaz for Allah could be
one or three or five or seven
foreign
truly in that is an oath for someone who
has a deep thinking and a deep mind
many of us we like we just go over these
things just lightly we just go over the
surface okay 10 days let's move on Allah
wants you to be the hedger hedger means
someone heavy from inside
thinker reflector
you know deep
not just shallow and and light on the
surface
as Allah
in uh in in the Ayah that talks about
Hajj it invites us to be from
and the people with heavy cores
solid core right from inside as Allah
said
had a certain months which is the month
of
so so ever makes obligation on himself
or herself let them involved in
nothing in the world of which goes in
anything goes between a man and a woman
right whether they are Halal husband and
wife or not Halal none of that nature is
allowed in Hajj that's why the from
the day of ataruya from like the day of
arafah all the way till you are done
with powerful there is no relationship
even between the husband and wife just
like Ramadan
no Mischief you don't spread Mischief in
in the season of you don't practice it
nor you spread it and no argument
and whatever goodness you do Allah is
aware of it
whatever goodness you do a hint for us
in the season of whatever goodness Allah
is taking a special notice of it on
Allah will record it as Allah says
the smallest weight of a good deed he
will see it on the day of judgment and
whosoever does the smallest weight of
bad deed he will see it on the day of
judgment and the only way for you not to
see it on the day of judgment is to ask
forgiveness and to make tawba and to ask
Allah to treat you with his name
and to treat you with his name Allah
what's the difference they say is you
make something wrong
you sin
and then you repent so the sin gets
written and the repentance get written
but when Allah gives you
you do something wrong the sin is
written then you ask for Allah
the sin gets erased from the record
it's literally it allows you to go back
in your past and change the past
what they call time machine
or you don't need time machines and
Muslims Allah already gave it to us
why do people want a time machine you
ask people why why are you interested in
one I want to go back and fix the
mistakes that I did in the past
well you you have a gift time machine
from Allah what is it ask for Allah
and follow a bad deed with a good one
what did Allah say Allah doesn't change
his promise or his word he said and
follow a bad deed with a good one and
Allah will erase it
in singular form one in plural form Good
Deeds erase bad ones
and subhanallah this effect we want a
time machine that can travel into the
past or travel in the future subhanallah
in this season in this first 10 days
first 10 days Allah gave you this time
machine when on the day of arafah
what happens if you fast on the day of
Arafat you get a time machine in both
sides it can erase all the bad things
past and future rasulullah said I hope
from Allah I pray that Allah will erase
the sins of a year before and a year
after what is this
this is literally changing history
changing your book of Deeds
instead of sitting down constantly
eating yourself only with guilt
subhanallah makes you do something bad
then he makes you sit down and feel
guilty and regrets
no tauba in the middle
bad regrets and feeling bad
do something bad and where is the Toba
no you don't need that just think down
of yourself and when you think down of
yourself oh my God I feel so guilty I'm
so bad and this and that then shaytan
comes and triples not doubles down
triples down on you he says yeah yeah
yeah you did the sin you're bad you
didn't repent your hopeless case why
don't you go and sin again
it doesn't matter to you Slaughters you
instead of you doing that shaytan
doesn't have to you Allah azzawajal
considered feeling guilty and bad as one
step in the process not the whole
process you do something wrong if you
feel bad when you do something wrong
that means your heart is alive still you
tell the difference between right and
wrong when is it very alarming when you
do something wrong and you don't feel
bad oh my God you really need to go like
make some anti-cuffs or something or go
to head and ask Allah to reclaim your
heart as long as you feel bad when you
sin that's always the first step that
shows that your heart is alive and you
still have Iman and you still recognize
right from wrong you follow that
with stopping doing what you're doing
wrong
you follow that with intending not to do
it again you follow that with Dua that
Allah accept your
tawba and you'll follow that with a good
deed the the five steps of tawba the
guilt but guilt shaytan gets you to the
gift and stops you doesn't want you to
go to step number two and three and four
and five First Step guilt what does
guilt guilt makes you stop uh now we are
in the first step of tawba after you
stop you say I will not do it again
that's good that's number three then you
say Ya Allah accept from me that's good
that's step number four then you go and
follow a bad deed with a good one to
show your good will your down payment of
Goodwill
erases your records and this is what we
have in in 10 days
kept it very open subhanallah he knows
the future is going to come and people
are going to invent different ways to do
good deeds so the prophet salallahu kept
it open
is beloved to Allah in these 10 days
use your imagination I tell people first
always start with making tawba and for
what you have done in the past two stay
away from sinning and stay away from
things or people who facilitate sinning
for you you know the bad crowd don't
hang with them
you know what slips you in sin don't go
to it
and number three make the intention and
follow the intention with an action to
do to follow a bad deed with a good one
to do
this is what we need in the first 10
days of the and insha Allah like you
know
get like get into the spirit and if you
see oh my God I can't even I don't have
the energy then keep on repeating
you only we worship and from you only we
seek help ask Allah to help you in
worshiping him and he will subhanahu wa
ta'ala
foreign
alhamdulillah we are blessed and you
know
Allah is using us as an instrument to
make Dua and financial help
to the whole Muslim world
and I would like to mention what
happened in Afghanistan the earthquake
subhanallah any coming out of a war into
a bad economy into an earthquake is
really a triple test may Allah reward
these people and Grant them in may Allah
Grant the whole population suburb of
what they are going through and make
their salvation every day better and
better and better I mean
and we remember all of our brothers and
sisters who are suffering from ravaged
countries of by War whether it's Libya
whether you're talking about Yemen you
know you're talking about Syria Iraq
we're talking about you know Afghanistan
we're talking about Kashmir Muslims in
India now are facing like Mass you know
oppression subhanallah
and obviously the bleeding heart of the
Muslim ummah of what's happening in
Philistine and in Jerusalem
you know
subhanallah Allah will wake up people
you know and inshaallah the new
generation will be better than the old
generation inshallah and inshallah gives
us pockets of Hope here and there so
that we never give up and never you know
uh you know just give in as they say but
we don't give in because our hope is in
Allah not in ourselves on what we do or
in people and Allah wants to see us
serious about our Deen about the service
of our Dean about working together to
accomplish more and more and more and
believe me with the sequence of events I
I guess even in the coming years will be
even challenging for us as Muslims here
in America but that's okay life was
never meant to be a Jannah and a place
of relaxation Allah keeps sending to the
believer destiny that wakes him up and
keeps them on his toes
him and her that's the point if you
don't get the point then you're just in
the events the point is to keep you
alert awake and aware
so that you never go to sleep and lose
your Dunya and this Dunya is a place of
tests and Allah told us in one Ayah
Allah
and if Allah will he would have guided
everyone you know would have been no
struggle in on Earth
Allah said but this is a place of tests
and Allah said even in the Quran if it
wasn't too much for people to handle if
it wasn't for the Believers too much to
handle he would have made for the
non-believers he would have made their
houses made of gold
and you would have seen them go in
elevators to the sky
you know
but Allah azzawajal you know so so
people say oh my God they're rewarded
and we are but Allah you know you know
give us a test as much as as we can
handle so don't let the things around
you bring you down you need to always be
involved in learning your Deen being
always with the community Masha Allah we
have so many organizations right now
that volunteer that needs volunteers and
that all will bring about A Change Is
