All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
And peace and blessings be upon the
Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
Peace and blessings be upon him.
Peace and blessings be upon him.
Peace and blessings be upon him.
Peace and blessings be upon him.
If it's hot water, it's cold.
No problem.
You make wudu, you come to a masjid, alhamdulillah, the masjid is air conditioned or it is heated
or whatnot.
You're praying on nice carpets.
No hardship.
If you're feeling hungry before you come, eat something and nobody stops you.
Eat something and come.
And that we find difficult.
Imagine.
And about this salah, or any salah, Rasulullah said, the slave is closest to Allah when he
is in sujood.
And he said, when the slave makes sajdah on the farsh, on the earth, he is actually making
sajdah before the throne of Allah .
Before the Arsh of Allah .
This is the guarantee of the Rasul .
So how thankful we should be to Allah for having given us Islam.
And Allah gave it to us.
I know about myself and I don't know about you, but none of us made effort or went through
danger or did something.
Alhamdulillah, we're born in Muslim homes.
Our parents are Muslim, grandparents are Muslim for the last thousand years, God knows.
Right?
So, we should be thankful to Allah.
We should be thankful to Allah.
You can think like the Lord , always in the path of the
Prophet and within ourselves.
And the Healer living in us is a Self, so It is He who gives us tie.
This is what life is about.
I never respond for these things.
So I kept quiet.
And then I said,
why would you want to pray in the toilet?
So she said,
I don't want to pray in the toilet.
But the toilet is the only place where I can pray.
If my parents or my family see that I am praying,
if they see I am a Muslim,
they will kill me.
So I pretend to go to the toilet.
That is the only place I have to pray.
What shall I do?
What fatwa will you give for this?
People go through such difficulties.
I am not exaggerating.
People go through such difficulties and more.
We know the Sahaba.
We know what all the Sahaba went through.
That's a different thing.
I am talking about today.
In today's world,
the kinds of difficulties that people go through
in order to become Muslim
and they are still firm on this.
They are still firm on this.
Alhamdulillah for us,
we are to do nothing.
And you say,
pray five times a day,
we cannot do it.
May Allah have mercy on us.
Eat halal, earn halal.
No.
Has to be some,
some mixture has to be there.
Hmm?
So let us value this.
So badi chaise.
First, value this religion.
That's it.
Alhamdulillah, just think about it.
This religion came to us
because of the sacrifices of people
who are far, far, far superior to us.
The Sahaba of Prophet Muhammad , what is the comparison of the Sahabi to us?
We are not even, our position and darja with Allah is only because of Islam.
Otherwise, in terms of darja compared to the Sahabi, we are not even, at least I'm talking
about myself, I don't even consider myself to be equal to the dust on the hoof of the
donkey of the Sahabi.
But Allah has given a position where you do imamat and you do khitabat and you stand
in these masjids and you talk about the greatness of Allah .
On what basis?
On what basis?
Only because Allah has put a cover over my faults and over my weaknesses and over my
sins that you don't see it.
You say, oh Mashallah, Mashallah, Yaver Bhai, we love you.
If Allah had removed that cover.
That's why Imam Shafi'i said, if somebody praises you, remember, he's not praising
you, he's praising the cover that Allah has put over you.
He can only see that.
He's only seeing the cover that Allah put over you.
So he's praising you.
Oh Mashallah, Mashallah.
Mashallah who?
Me?
No.
It is Sattari of Allah.
Sattaru Rayub Ghaffaru Dhunu.
That's it.
That's it.
I'm saying it.
I'm saying it, I'm saying it.
I'm saying it.
See that?
The one who covers the ips and the faults and who forgives the sins, yesterday was
saying so, we ask Allah to forgive us and never to remove this cover.
Today if you think about this, we have you know, we take care of our bodies humbly, we
should and we do exercises and so on and so forth.
What about our souls?
Is somebody sick?
Some kind of sickness?
You can see it in the body.
You know, the knee won't bend, this will happen, that will happen.
Or maybe there is some disfigurement because of some disease.
May Allah protect us from all these things.
But supposing Allah had made our soul visible.
Allah has hidden our soul.
If the soul is not visible to others, if the soul becomes visible, that soul which is full
of envy and greed and hasad and hatred and deceiving people and lying and cheating, what
will it look like?
Look leprous, it will look ugly and horrible.
Right?
But Allah has hidden this.
But the fact that Allah has hidden it does not mean that it is healthy.
It is not healthy.
It is very sick.
And on the Day of Judgement, when we go before Allah, it will be visible.
So I remind myself and you, let us respect and value what we have, which is this Deen.
Let us straighten our akhlaq.
Let us straighten our maamilat.
Let us straighten our maamilat.
So, spend last
today.
Let us have some good time today.
I dedicate this verse to Allah.
That's for you.
And皆さんaría veza Allah.
Allah Tortur opinion vai țâz.
Gurun , les duvan.
I, Allah.
to somebody else. You have deprived somebody of their right, you have abused somebody, you have
killed somebody, and killing is not necessarily physical killing.
Moral assassination, character assassination is also like death. It's worse than death.
If you have taken away somebody's property, if you have not given to somebody what you
should give them, how will you face Allah? He said, don't go before Allah with that.
Settle it here. Every day we hear stories, Muslims lying against each other, cheating each other,
making false claims against each other, some miserable piece of land or some house or something,
making a false complaint and case. Completely false. No basis for the false claim.
The false claim is the one that is not true.
The false claim is the one that is not true. So, you have to be beaten up.
You have to be beaten up. I have seen many people who have been beaten up.
The police, going to the district collector, going to the police, going to this one, that one,
using RTI as a weapon. Other fellows running around in circles trying to prove.
Then at the same time, you have a beard from here, like wee-wee-winky, and you're wearing
a big amama, and you're wearing nice white clothes, and praying five times a day. For what?
of Shaitan did not save him from
Jannah.
We have to straighten our
actions, we have to straighten
our tongues.
Otherwise this Salah won't help you.
Nothing will help you.
To deprive people of their rights,
you can pray till the cows
come home, nothing will happen.
I depend on myself and you.
Let us value this Deen.
Alhamdulillah Allah has given us a beautiful Deen.
If we follow this Deen, we will have
a beautiful life, a life of
honor and respect and harmony
and tranquility here
and in the Ashram.
This is the beauty of Islam.
Islam does not tell you to put yourself
into trouble and pain
and suffering in order to get Jannah.
No.
No need. Live a beautiful
life.
In comfort,
in safety,
and go to Jannah.
What's the problem with that?
So I remind myself and you,
let us value this Deen
and thank Allah SWT.
And the way to thank Allah SWT
is to
worship Him as He wants us
to worship Him.
And to be good to people as He wants us
to be good to people.
Correct the mawilat, correct our akhlaq,
and correct our afidah and
ibadah.
We ask Allah SWT to make it easy
for us and to accept it from us and to
help us and to protect
us from ourselves
and from shaitan.
And may Allah bless us all.
And may Allah bless us all.
