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...

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.

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...

And we bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. Allah sent him by the truth as a glad tiding and...

Auto-generated transcript: I want to share some thoughts with you. I am going to borrow for Barakah. So, just Allahﷻ, negate the acceptance; accept Allah's rights. 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. You can't say...

But Allahﷻ is in control, and it's important to remember this always. All power lies with Allahﷻ. Always think about and make zikr of Rasulullahﷺ who said that taqwa is a treasure under the throne of Allahﷻ. There is no authority except with Allahﷻ.

And therefore it is critically important that we fulfill the requirements of these two relationships. The requirement of the relationship with Allahﷻ is to worship only Him and nobody else. And to obey Allahﷻ in everything that He has commanded us. The requirement of Rasulullahﷺ is to obey Him and to follow Him. To make His ita'at and to make His itibah. I mentioned for yesterday, I said three ayats which define this relationship. And the first of them I mentioned yester...

Auto-generated transcript: As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Our relationship is based on two things. One is love for Allahﷻ, and the second is fear of displeasing the one we love the most. Allahﷻ defined us and honored us Muslims by saying, وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَشَدُّهُمْ بَلِّ اللَّهِ The people who have Iman, they love Allahﷻ more than anyone or anything else. So when Allahﷻ has honored us, it is incumbent upon us to fulfill that honor by loving Allahﷻ. The way we show our love for Allahﷻ is by obeying Him completely and totally without qualification. Not by picking and choosing. Because selective obedience is disobedience. Selective obedience is kufr. Selective...
