Amma ba'du, my brothers and sisters, Allāh subḥānahu wa ta'ālā is the One who controls everything, wa huwa 'alā kulli shay'in qadīr. Allāh subḥānahu wa ta'ālā is Qadīr over everything.

My brothers and sisters, a young man came to Rasūlullāh sallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam, and he said to him, "Ya Rasūlullāh sallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam, please give me something that only you can give me and nobody else can give me." Please give me something that only you can give me and no one else can...

My brothers and sisters, one of the most critical things to do in life is not to waste time. Because time is life. Time itself is life.

My brothers and sisters Alhamdulillah, two days ago I was in Kerala, in the south, a place called Kundai Estate. And we were looking for elephants. It was 10 o'clock at night; pitch dark with no street lights, nothing. And it was heavily raining, raining very heavily. My friend and I were driving in a jeep, and that jeep had seen the best part of...

My brothers and sisters, we have been talking about since yesterday regarding the issue of what happens when Allāh protects us and forgives us when we commit a sin. Now, to be anguished, to feel bad, to regret upon committing a sin is a sign of Iman. It is good news; it's a sign of...

Amma ba'du, my brothers and sisters, I want to remind myself anew.

The water is part of the backwaters from Cochin Harbour. And you can see there in the distance what are called the Chinese fishing nets. And that's what it is, the Chinese fishing nets. So what they do is they l...

A University of Kentucky epidemiologist convinced 678 Catholic nuns to donate their brains and their entire life records to science, and the autopsies he performed quietly rewrote everything modern medicine thought it knew about Alzheimer's disease. The findings have been published in JAMA and the New England Journal of Medicine. Almost nobody outside the field of neurology has heard of them. His name was David Snowdon. He was a young epidemiologist at the University of Minnesota in 1986 when he had what most of his colleagues considered a crazy idea. He wanted to study Alzheimer's disease the way it had never been...

Umar Badu, my brothers and sisters, we are looking at the rules of success. These are things that Allah subḥānahu wa ta'ālā sent us into this world to be successful, and to live a life which is productive, beneficial for all those connected with it—so for yourself, for people around you, and so on. Now, these rules of success: the first one...

Yesterday we spoke about the four things that are necessary for success. I didn't mention all four yesterday, but today I will just list them for you, and then we will do them one by one. One is: do hard things first. The most difficult things; do them first. Number two is: do the thi...

My brothers and sisters, in America there is a system where when a professor retires, he gives what is called the last lecture. So it's more of a recap of some words of wisdom, his experiences, and so on. It's a very important lecture. One of the Stanford professors, Graham Weaver, had his last lecture. I was reading it; he said some wonderful things which have great relevance for us. He basically said four things: the first thing he said was "do hard things first." The secret of success is to do hard things first. I remember another lecture at MIT where this professor actually demonstrated that he brought a big glass jar on his table. He put that...

Humbabado. My brothers and sisters, we were talking about the issue of how do we approach learning the knowledge of Islam. As I mentioned to you yesterday, if you approach it from a non-practical angle, meaning that you are there to listen to some lecture or you are reading a book intellectually, then you don't gain anything from it. Because Islam is the name of a practice. It is not the name of a philosophy or a theory. If there is a...

I am about to share with my brothers and sisters the first hadith in Al-Baqarah, narrated by Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA). He said: "The first thing is..." This is an important thing for us to remember because the reward is not only in the Akhirah; the reward is also in this Dunya. The reward is in the sense that what you get out of something depends on what you want from it. Why did you enter that? What's the reason...

Auto-generated transcript: بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على أشرف الأنبياء والمرسلين محمد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم تسليماً كثيراً. My brothers and sisters, we were talking about "إياك نعبد وإياك نستعين" that we worship only Allah ﷻ and we rely only on Allah ﷻ; we seek help only from Allah ﷻ. I mentioned to you how Allah ﷻ taught this lesson to Musa عليه السلام of reiterating that there is no one worthy of worship except Allah and that we seek help only from Allah. We spoke about how it is not simply enough to say we worship Allah, but we must worship Allah and worship no one other than Allah. Now, therefore, how do you bring yourself to a state where this prominence of Allah ﷻ in our lives—the greatness, the glory, and the majesty of Allah ﷻ—becomes so important and so up-front as far as we are concerned, that we never deviate from the path? I...

My brothers and sisters, Allāh subḥānahu wa ta'ālā mentioned the story of Mūsā alayhis-salām in 28 out of the 30 juz of the Qur'an, so it is everywhere but very beautifully and very concisely. Allāh subḥānahu wa ta'ālā mentioned it specifically at the beginning of Sūrah Tāhā, and He mentioned specifically what happened in the sequence of the story. So Allāh subḥānahu wa ta'ālā...

The question is: first of all, is music haram or not? Second, if it is haram, then seeing it used in content creation, advertising, and different contexts by Muslims and Muslim content creators—is this correct? If it is incorrect, is it a sin? And if it is a sin, does the punishment carry on for as long as that thing remains...

Umar Badu, my brothers and sisters, we ask Allāh subḥānahu wa ta'ālā to give us khatima bil-khayr. Because Rasūlullāh ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam said, innama al-amalu bi-l-khawātīm. He said the deed ends based on how it ends. So we ask Allāh subḥānahu wa ta'ālā for khatima bil-kha...

Was-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Wa ma ba'du, my brothers and sisters, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala used two words in the Qur'an to describe the believers: Muslimeen and Mu'mineen. Corresponding with that, who is a Muslim? Who is a Mu'min? Allah Ta'ala used two other words: Iman and Yaqeen. For example, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in Surah Al-Baqarah, right at the beginning, said: "That is the Book in which there is no doubt; it is guidance for those who are mindful of Al...

My brothers and sisters, alhamdulillahi wa bismillahi ta'ala. We are starting the Mubarak days of Hajj. Today is the first day. Today, we ask Allah to help us do those actions which please Him. Because the actions, good actions done on these days, are the best of all the year. Because these days are more beloved to Allah than any other days of the year. So we ask Allah for that. Th...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

The second thing, which I mentioned yesterday, was that liking something doesn't matter. For success in life, to be...
