Tasliman kathīran kathīrān. Qamun badu. My brothers and sisters, we are entering, insha'allah, from tomorrow the 1st of Dhul Hijjah. So the first nine days of Dhul Hijjah—ten days total, with the tenth day being Eid—as I mentioned yesterday, represent the most important and virtuous days of the year. And the deeds done during those days, Allah subḥānahū wa ta'ālā rewards them more than He...

My brothers and sisters, let me do my annual reminder about Yawm al-Arafah. Because there is always this never-ending confusion about Yawm al-Arafah. Is it today? Is it tomorrow? Do we follow Saudi Arabia? Do we do this? Do we do that? So let me clarify this for you. Yawm al-Arafah is the name given to the 9th of Dhul Hijjah. If the 9th of Dhul Hijjah did not ha...

Alhamdulillah, we are in the ten best days of the year, which are the first ten days of Dhul-Khaidah, Dhul-Hijjah. And we know from the Ḥadith of Abū Hurayrah radiyaAllāhu anhu, and we also know from Ibn 'Abbās radiyaAllāhu anhu, that Rasūlullāh ﷺ said that these are the best days of the year. And any action...

My brothers and sisters, we were talking about the issue of obedience as related especially to Hajj and the life and the approach of Ibrahim ﷽ and his blessed family. And I also mentioned in that context the obedience of Rasulullah ﷺ and his Sahaba, Qadidwanullahi alayhi majmain, where we spoke about the ayat of Surah Al-Baqarah, where Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala revealed: *Lillahi ma fi samawati wa ma fi l-ard, Wa in tubdu...

My brothers and sisters, roughly 4,000 years ago lived a man and then his family. And they lived in such a wonderful and strange way. And they did such wonderful and strange things that today we read the stories and you wonder what was it that moved him? Why did he do what he did? Among the things that he did was that he took his wife and newborn baby all the way fr...

My brothers and sisters, alḥamdulillah. We have been talking about the issue of istighfār and tawbah. And we ask Allāh subḥānahu wa ta'ālā to keep us in a state where we constantly make istighfār. We constantly repent to Allāh subḥānahu wa ta'ālā for our sins. And we ask Allāh subḥānahu wa ta...

And also give us the opportunity to repeat those...

From my brother and sisters, we are looking at the issue of making Istighfar and Tawbah—seeking the forgiveness of Allah ﷻ, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. I remind myself in you that Allah ﷻ commanded us to make Istighfar and to make Tawbah: to seek forgiveness and to turn towards Allah ﷻ. Before the time comes when we will be called to account. Rasulullah ﷺ said everybody will be called to account. Sayyidina Aisha ﷺ asked him, "Ya Rasulullah, even you?" He said, "Even me." And then Allah ﷻ will make easy the accounting of those he wishes to make easy. For that, it is essential to make Istighfar and Tawbah. Sayyidina Aisha ﷺ said, "What is the meaning of 'easy'?" Nabi ﷺ said, "Easy means Allah ﷻ will not a...

Alhamdulillahi Rabbil 'Alameen, was-salatu was-salamu ala ashrafil anbiya'i wal mursalin, Muhammadin Rasulullah ﷺ, wa ala alihi wa sahbihi was-salam. Tasleeman kathiran kathira. From my brother and sisters, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala commanded us to make istighfar and tawbah. We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to make us among those who obey this command, who make istighfar and tawbah, and we ask Allah to forgive us inshaAllah. The last 2-3 days, we have been talking about the importance of tawbah and istighfar, and how Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala accepts istighfar when it is made as soon as we...

Wa salātu wa salāmu 'alā ashrafil anbiyā' wal mursalīn, Muḥammadir Rasūlullāh ﷺ, wa 'alā ālihi wa sahbihī wa sallam. Tasliman kathīran kathīra khamma ba'du. My brothers and sisters, we are talking about perhaps the most important aspect of life: turning towards Allāh subḥānahū wa ta'ālā through istighfār and tawbah. I am saying this is the most important because it determines the difference between Jannah and Jahannam. A person could have done evil; a person could have been a mushrik o...

Auto-generated transcript: بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله رب العالمين وصلاة والسلام على أشرف الأنبياء والمرسلين محمد رسول الله ﷺ صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم تسليماً كثيراً. أما بعد، my brothers and sisters, we are on the topic of istighfar and tawbah. As I said, Allah ﷻ commanded us to make istighfar and to make tawbah—to repent and turn towards Him, Jalla Jalaluhu—so that our lives in this world and the hereafter can be filled with khair. We have to understand and remind ourselves that when we say "repent" to Allah ﷻ, Allah does not benefit from that. Allah cannot be harmed; He does not need anything from the makhluk. This is for our benefit. So when we turn to Allah, we are doing a favor for ourselves. Now, Allah mentioned in the Qur'an one of the reasons why people who are believers, people who are Muslims, disobey Allah. This is...

My brothers and sisters, we were talking about the importance of Salah. I remind myself and you that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, there is only one thing which Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentioned, which He related directly to Himself. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said, "Aqimis Salata li Zikri" (establish Salah for my remembrance). If you take anything else, take for example Fasting; Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said, "Kutiba 'alaykum Siyamu kama kutiba 'ala alladheena min qa...

Wa salatu wa salamu ala ash-sharafi al-anbiya wal-mursaleen, Muhammadur Rasulullah ﷺ, wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallam. Tasliman kafiran kafira. Wa amma abadu. My brothers and sisters, we just heard the recitation of Surah Taha in Salah. And we heard Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala say, "Have you heard the story of Musa (alayhis-salam)?" Then Allah described the situation where Musa was traveling back from Madian to Egypt, towards the Masjid. It was dark at night; he was on his way but lost. In the distance, he saw a fire. So he told hi...

Auto-generated transcript: بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. And peace and blessings upon the noblest of prophets and messengers. Muhammad, Messenger of God ﷺ. Many greetings. Peace upon you. My brothers and sisters. Allahﷻ said in Surah Ibrahim. وَاسْتَأْثَنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَوۡ شَكَرۡتُمۡ لَزِدَنَّٰكُمۡ ۖ وَلَوۡ كَفَرۡتُمۡ إِنَّ عَذَابِي لَشَدِيدٌ (wa ista'athana rabbukum la'in shakartum la'azidan lakum. wa la'in kafartum inna azabi la shadeed). Allahﷻ said that if you try to count the blessings He has given you, you will not be able to count them. Right. You will not be able to count them. Despite that, for us to count and be thankful is from the tawfiq of Allah. That Allahﷻ enables us to thank Him for what He has given us. Now thanking has an immediate effect which is how the ble...

Tasliman kathiran kathira. My brothers and sisters, we are on the last of the four truths. As I mentioned from the beginning, the first truth is that time passes. Therefore, the sensible thing is to make the most of it and utilize that time for the best advantage you can get. Number two: No choice. Absolutely. There's no question of "I like this" or "I don't like that." Liking doesn't matter. What needs to be done must be...

My brothers and sisters, Alhamdulillah. We are on the fourth of the four truths that we have been talking about for the last few days. The first one is: Time passes.

My brothers and sisters, we are looking at the four truths: the four truths that are true in life and which are important for us to keep in mind in order to be successful. And the first of them is that time passes. Time does not wait for anybody; time passes. Whether you use it beneficially or you don't use it, it doesn't matter. Whether...

Today I want to talk about the third thing, which is that there are two ways to learn. The lessons of life, there are two ways to learn. One is by making mistakes yourself. And two, by learning from others' mistakes. Of course, there are people who make mi...

Time passes; we have no control over that. What we do have control over is what we will do with the time that we have. The second thing, which I mentioned yesterday, was that liking something doesn't matter. For success in life, to be...

My brothers and sisters, today I am planning to start a new series of our reminders. I call it the Four Truths. There are four things which are Haqq, and it is very important to recognize these truths because if we do not recognize them, then we do not benefit from them, and then we are harmed by ignoring them. The first of those truths is that time passes. We all know th...

HINDUSTAN MEIN ZAAT-PAAT AUR MUSALMAN by Masuud Aalam Falahiebookshttps://rek.ht/bk/36iq/2 Auto-generated transcript: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. And peace and blessings be upon the Prophetﷺ. It comes from the arcana of Islam. And therefore, it is something which is absolutely critical to fulfill. And as I said yesterday, we looked at the condition where zakat becomes obligatory. Zakat is on the wealth. And it is fard on every month for a Muslim who pays zakat. Irrespective of age. If a person is...

Zakat - A Pillar of Islam خُذْ مِنْ أَمْوَٰلِهِمْ صَدَقَةً تُطَهِّرُهُمْ وَتُزَكِّيهِم بِهَا وَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ صَلَوٰتَكَ سَكَنٌ لَّهُمْ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ Tawba 9:103 Take from their wealth ˹O Prophet˺ charity to purify and bless them, and pray for them—surely your prayer is a source of comfort for them. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. Zakat is obligatory for every sane, adult Muslim who possesses wealth above a specific threshold (Nisab) for one lunar year (Hawl). The wealth must be fully owned, productive or capable of growth, and free from debt. The standard payment is 2.5% of total eligible assets, including cash, gold, silver, and business inventory. Key Conditions of Zakat Obligations Muslim: The individual must be a Muslim. Nisab (Minimum Threshold): Wealth must exceed the Nisab, which is commonly equivalent to the value of 87.48 grams of gold or...

And after that, my brother and sister, Rasulullah ﷺ, when he came and announced Islam in Mecca, he created perhaps the biggest revolution of all time in the world which still continues. The result is simply numbers: one and a half billion people in the world call themselves Muslim. And the whole world changed. Now if you ask this question and say, "Okay, what exactly did he do? What did he change?" Because he brought some...

My brothers and sisters, it is very important for us to be clear about what we believe as Muslims. And to reiterate that and to refresh that from time to time. Any religion is defined by its beliefs. It is not defined by the actions of the people. People may do good or bad. It doesn't define the religion. The religion, if you say what is your re...

Allah said the life of this world is only a deception. The thing to understand and remind ourselves, which I remind myself anew, is that appearances in this dunya are deceptive. What appears to be good and desirable may not necessarily be good and desirable. I am not saying every time it is good and desirable there is something wr...

Allahﷻ said, "وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا" (Wa'itassimu bi-habli-lillah jamee'an wa laa tafarraqoo). Allahﷻ said, Hold on to the rope of Allah together and do not divide. The rope of Allah is what? It is the Kitab of Allah. The Kitab of Allah has a Haqq. Just like Allahﷻ has a Haqq. And the problem with Haqq is that Waqoof are to be fulfilled. If the Haqq is not fulfilled, the person is liable for punishment. So, Waqoof are not voluntary. Waqoof are not discretionary.
