Preparing to Meet Allah
Tomorrow I can’t speak dynamite man in my human hand Olinda salatu was-salam ala lillahi wa inna ilayhi was fat eh may we praise Allah subhana WA Ta’ala we send blessings and salutations of muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa send them his companions his house world .
we ask Allah to bless them to bless every one of us to grant us every form of goodness to save us from difficulty calamity to grant us good health to grant us good offspring may allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala keep us steadfast up to the end may he grant us ultimately the paradise that we really are searching for I mean my beloved brothers and sisters we claim to believe we say we are believers when the person says he’s a Muslim it means he or she surrenders to the law of Allah that’s the meaning of the term Muslim.
I have surrendered to the law of Allah I am a person who believes and adopts what Allah subhana WA Ta’ala has sent down when the person says he is among men it means within his heart he firmly believes in everything that Allah has told us regarding the unseen more than anything else so if you were to look at the pillars of Islam .
you five villains you will find the statement the utterance of the Shahada ash hadu Ana Muhammadan Rasul Allah.
I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship besides Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad peace be upon him is the final messenger or prophet of allah subhanahu wata’ala then you have the five daily prayers that is something that you will fulfill .
they are actions you have for example the fasting in the month of Ramadhan you stay away from food people can see that you are not eating then you have the arms to the poor oh the charity this is a can people can see that you’re giving then you have the pilgrimage women is papa Eleni Sibylla the pilgrimage to Mecca for the one .
who is able and capable to fulfill the journey and several other conditions and those are the pillars of Islam as you notice people can see this person is a Muslim they have submitted to Allah but whether or not they are mock meaning and whether or not the belief has penetrated the heart is something that only Allah knows so if a person says.
I believe in a man it’s up to Allah Allah knows whether the person is being truthful or false so Allah says I will teach to you in order to determine whether you truly believe or you don’t a has even a show [Music] do the people think that it is sufficient for them to say we are believers as it won’t mean a man and we will not test them we have tested those before them as well Allah says everyone is going to be tested so a man.
if you look at the pillars of me man there are six what are they are meant to be like one mana e30 what could to be he was Sunni he what young will have he well Kadam ye who I shall be him in a bloody time some might add one bath and bath means the resurrection and the omen a field means the last day many of the scholars have brought that together and made it six points .
so let me quickly say them again we believe in Allah we believe in all the angels we believe in all the prophets we believe in all the books we believe in the last day and the day of resurrection and we believe that good and bad fate comes from Allah all of these are within the heart nobody can just look at someone and say you’re a believer in actual fact Allah alone knows.
if a person is a believer now we have several instructions from allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala not only in the quran but even through the pleasant lips of the noble Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him instructions within Allah says if you believe in Allah you will do the following it’s a sign that you believe so there are certain signs that will prove that you truly are even number one is you’re concerned about the meeting with Allah .
you are worried about the day you’re going to meet with Allah you’re preparing for that day by doing lots of lots of good deeds and abstaining from prohibitions and fulfilling the obligations that Allah has placed on your shoulders primarily that in a nutshell is the most important aspect that shows that the person is a believer to Panama so let me read for you the person in the photograph famine can i opportuni car [Music] allah says .
so whosoever is looking forward to the meeting with Allah what is that meeting that meeting is actually at the end of time the last day in the hereafter after you die the day that you will meet with Allah whoever is looking forward to that meeting they will do some things from now if I were to tell you my brothers and sisters you have a very important meeting with a very important person you will be excited Wow think of an important person that.
you’d really like to meet what would you do to meet that person you will prepare you would make that you know what to say it would make sure you perhaps you know going in the right way and so on and so forth especially if they happen to be of leadership in this world what about the police that you Angela you need to take something what is it that you’re going to take when you meet with Allah Allah [Music] Allah makes mention of two things both of them are equally important with one of them being very very serious Allah says .
if you really are looking forward to meeting with Allah you will do good deeds what’s the meaning of good deeds Naaman asada the deeds that are acceptable that are good a good deed is a deed that was done by the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and taught by him that’s a good deed because Allah wants you to worship Him you and I would never know how to worship Allah on our own so Allah sent us messengers to show us how he wants to be worshipped amazing what was the mission of the messengers primarily to show us how Allah wants to be worshipped to remind us about who is Allah and then tell us now I’m going to show you .
what he wants from you so that’s why we have five daily prayers they are not just three or two or seven or eight they are five who told me their faith Allah through whom through the messenger new ascendant so I know that these are five daily prayers how do I know I need to stop the prayer in this way I need to do this in the prayer .
I need to say this and read this and I need to end it in a specific way I can only know that through the messenger muhammad sallallahu sallam I cannot think it up on my own therefore there is no act of acceptable oh there is no acceptable act of worship if it were not taught or done by muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam hence the term innovation comes into play may allah subhanahu wa ta’ala grant us a deep understanding no matter what.
I am to do if it was not taught by the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him it cannot be an act of worship for Allah some people go out in the way that the Sun you can wave at it for 20 minutes and say I wish at Allah that’s not an act of worship waving at the Sun was not taught by Muhammad al-amin a messiah if you were to jump up and down 20 times on the spot and say Allahu Akbar each time you dump is that really a Salah is it really an act of worship the answer is no for ya Muhammad Ali had a Saleh is that which was taught by the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him as simple as that let’s move on to the next point which is even more serious Allah says oh I usually be bad a deal of being if you are really looking forward to the meeting with your maker you will never associate partnership in worship with your own maker subhanAllah you will never associate partnership with your maker in worship.
I will worship Allah and I will worship Allah alone that’s how it should be that’s how it is so therefore any act of worship rendered for anyone or anything besides Allah Allah says such a person is not looking forward to meeting with me but perhaps they’re looking forward to meeting with others then Allah says to us in a hadith narrated by the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him that is so powerful and it reminds us of the might the glory and majesty of Allah and Allah showed Korea and his Sheikh Muhammad Amin and I shall Cathy him area very – who were Sheila Kay and in another narration Muhammad Amin and may say .
I am gonna do the first one the the Prophet Mohammed Salim Ali Salim says Allah says when you associate partnership with me in an activation I am the Reacher of the to the independent of the tool I don’t need that partnership rather you go with the other person and carry on I don’t want it like a multi-billionaire for example and someone else who might be a person is not a few thousand dollars here and there and so Hannah bah you want to do something in a way that you you think you would benefit the multi-millionaire by your ten cents or your hundred dollars he will tell you I don’t need this partnership get the hundred and go and give it to whoever you want don’t you see that I’m a multi-billionaire .
so Hannah bah while in lying method will honor the example of a vice for higher than this Allah says that you know what you want to associate it an act of worship or engage in an activation for someone who didn’t make you they didn’t create you they are not in charge and in control of your life at all if you want to engage in an act of worship for them you know what you and that person can go together and whatever you done can belong to that person and out of the partnership that’s what Allah says why is it dependent so this is why?
it’s very important for us to keep on looking within ourselves am i engaging in this act of worship is it for Allah and was it taught by the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him because the second hadith that I mentioned the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is saying whoever engages in an act of worship that we have not taught the symmetry bounds to that particular person what was the point of sending a messenger if everyone was a know-it-all what was the point of sending a messenger to us to teach us when everyone knew well you know what he didn’t know what he was saying something loved.
if everyone knew on their own without looking at the teachings of the Prophet Mohammed Salim it definitely would reduce his value according to them but not in the eyes of Allah may Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’ala grant doesn’t understand .
now I want to go to something very important regarding belief and the signs of belief there are some narrations that you will find in the hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that start off by saying man can you Minu billahi wa yome energy whoever really believes in Allah and in the last day what’s the meaning of the last day the day of account the day of reckoning you know when you believe that the tax man is going to come to you to ask.
you about the details of your business transactions what do you do you make sure your books are all in water when he comes in you can call him in the muffin some coffee and tell him welcome piece of my books audited by someone so and so big-name mashaallah in the auditing fields ooh Panama and you’re excited because you know I didn’t do anything wrong and then they scrutinizing that you’re still smiling sipping away your coffee but if you were not prepared for it.
then it will be difficult to find you in the first place because we play the hide-and-seek because we know something is wrong with my books I promise you we are more concerned about the books of the taxman then we are concerned about the books with Allah it allows us to put your book in order you just seek my forgiveness villain .
now don’t do what you did in the past if it was bad so Panama so the hadith says if you really believe in the day of reckoning and that there is a day of accounts you will make sure your good deeds go up and your bad deeds go down so listen to four aspects that are made mentioned by the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him just what he says ?
man can you know build I knew a young male Afeni further you will be job if a person truly believes in Allah and the last day he should not harm his neighbor no matter who the neighbor is Muslim non-muslim a person who might belong to a different sect or a person who belongs to a different faith or no faith at all the fact that the person is your neighbor you don’t harm them and the topic of harm to a neighbor is very very long it starts off with the smoke you know we have means that people burn in the sea in this country sometimes .
if those leaves are being built in a way that the neighbor is being affected by the fumes and the smoke then you do not really believe in Allah and the last day even if you’re claiming that did you know that because the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him says I see a lot of people are looking at me I know a guilty of many reliefs but perhaps we can think of a better piece of doing it when Allah should have apologized.
I love forgive us the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him says you really believe in Allah you really believe in the last day you won’t harm your neighbor it’s a sign so if someone loves their neighbor it’s a sign that they don’t truly believe they claim they believe they believe but they need to work on it very very hard work on it harder another narration says for you seen a large area that means not only should you not harm your neighbor you should do good to your neighbor today’s you can allow you want to do good in the city.
you go to your neighbor according to the rule you know you’re supposed to be 50/50 in the neighborhood selling go away and they busy spending money on everything else one of those things if you were a kind person a good person you would know that look this is my duty it’s my right perhaps I don’t I can’t make ends meet right now let me say a good word let me say a good word perhaps if I have a little function at my home let me let my neighbors know let me invite them Muslim or non-muslim .
I would like to believe that if a person is a non-muslim for us to reach out to them through such greatness of character and conduct such as being kind to them and benefiting them in one way or another would be a bonus for us on the day of judgement imagine they would return to Islam remember someone coming to Islam is not in your head my not at all it’s in the hands of Allah but surely the reduction of the enmity of an enemy is a great success someone who hated Muslims and because you were so good and constantly good and you repelled their bad with good they not their head one day and they said you know what .
I used to think Muslims are bad people but in actual fact they are very good people that much is enough for you and I because the rest of you need to keep going and keep trying soldiering on they may not believe in the last day but you do .
so I want doing goodness because I think people deserve goodness but I’m doing goodness because I know a lot loves those who do good a very big difference between the two I enjoy doing good to those who do bad because I’m not doing it for them I’m doing it for Allah you get the point if I were to do good only to those whom.
I think deserve goodness I would stop doing good subhanAllah so my brothers and sisters that is one point about the neighbor your relationship with your neighbors be it at work or at home or anywhere else in the car in the bus on the roads wherever else the courtesy and so on it’s the sign of your belief in Allah and the answer ability of the Day of Judgment secondly man come a human being a human young man asking if when you came by from whoever believes in the mind the last day should honor their guests .
I guess it comes to you and you honor the guests talk to them nicely I have served them something perhaps pillow make them feel at home make them feel comfortable today we have gotten to a time where people don’t like guests at all in a way it’s a sign of weakness of your baby when a guest walks through we should think to ourselves this is my opportunity to gain greater reward so on the day of judgment I can come to Allah with a massive reward that’s a sign you believe in Allah and you’re worried about the day of accounts it’s your chance,
I promise you if we had a game one of these computer games which gave you points points that are worthless in order to serve your guests on the game we would be serving guests throughout the day at night we would be hooked on the game but real life we don’t want so we are prepared to earn points on a game that is a computer game that means nothing to do things that.
we would not even do in real life when at times it is more important to do it in real life look at how we’ve actually lost face people might say it’s a bit harsh to say lost faith but if the prophets allah wahda salam says a sign of true belief in allah and the last day is when you honor your guests but my brothers and sisters you and i are symbols they spoke the reality the reality is as guests if I were a guest I need to know when to visit how long to visit for and at what time for example may inconvenience the person .
you can’t just reach up at someone’s house unannounced in the state of Technology and say the hadith mankind Ayumi noble he was young mean any fat you cream pie I need this enemy that I’m staying here for one month and if you believe in Allah the last thing here I am and I’m your guest come on be realistic so it’s on either side while
. we all would love to honor our guest please let us know when you’re coming please find out what is a convenient time like visiting the sick is a very very great act of worship but a lot of those who are seeking ill they would get more sick until the way we visit nowadays 24 someone is coming in and out in and out rather say a good do ,
I send the whatsapp message wait for them to get better and and then do is far more important but if they’re visiting hours stick to them when people go to the hospital they go to rest they pay an arm and a leg not for us to line up at the hospital one by one to prove that I was there no in order for them to have a rest come on think and this is why you say there are two sides to a coin why we are asking each other to honor the guests.
if you are a guest honor yourself to begin with Muhammad Allah grant us a big understand so will you visit someone contact them in advance let them know and tell them you’re coming is it convenient if when you’re sitting you need to know not to overstep you’re welcome when people start getting uneasy we need to know it’s time to go to bed they won’t want to go somewhere so kind of love imagine the whole family is planning an outing and suddenly you ring the bell and say I’m not here.
you see you instilled a punker see because you’re spoiling their day may Allah forgive us may Allah forgive us let’s move to another one the Prophet SAW gosselin says mankind a human who will die here what you mean.
I’ve seen for years in Mahima whoever believes in Allah and the last day should make an effort to mend broken family relations well Subhan Allah Allah chose your family members for you go out of your way to mend relationships.
why because you believe in Allah and the last day it’s an effort it is something tough when Allah tells you you are going to get a big reward for something you need to know it’s not going to be a walk in the park it’s not going to be something easy it’s going to be really really tough you’re going to have to swallow that ego and pride in order to make sure.
you end up doing this because if there is a big reward may allah subhanahu wa’ta’ala come after cease then the prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam says when can you meet open like he went with our chili from upon failure only us who ever truly believes in Allah and the last day should I tell that which is beneficial which is good for remain silent.
Wow for me this is by far the most important part of the hadith and these a hadith that speak about whoever believes in Allah and the last day it goes to show that you believe in accounts you believe in accounts when I say a bad word the Angels have written it subhanAllah when I say a bad word the Angels have written it it’s gone down I am accountable .
if I really believe in the mask a do you really think I’m going to put a bad word into my accounts do you really think I’m going to put a bad word into my accounts the answer is no I’m not going to do that subhanAllah I will be careful either a guru say something good something respectful something beneficial something upright something polite or.
I will keep quiet backbiting slander gossip abusive words swear words bad words lies falsehood everything is gone the minute we engage in those things something wrong with our belief in Allah and the last day I didn’t say it the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said it but I want to say something every one of us the speaker included has room for improvement we can improve we must improve we should improve and we will improve because.
we truly say we believe in Allah and we try our best to fulfill whatever is taught to us and trust me when you follow what the Prophet Muhammad peace has related and thought you will never go wrong you will never go wrong the Prophet Muhammad SAW Allah I mean he was at them the teachings that he brought to us are from allah subhanahu wa ta’ala when we follow them we become the best of people so disciplined such a pleasure to interact with subhanAllah people interact with you they feel boosted energetic they feel good about themselves even .
if they themselves have a bad idea of who you are what you stand for no problem and then you will come when they will realized you know what actually this person is trying to live as a true Muslim what a lovely person what a brilliant person each person has their own circumstances their all problems their own difficulties their own hardships their own challenges.
we cannot just judge people based on you know some certain things that may have occurred there might be a brother walking out you might have greeted the brother and he’s got so much worry on his head he didn’t hear your breathing because he’s preoccupied with the a with the issues of the agent and then you go back saying this.
guy is arrogant he didn’t greet me back my brother think good about him he’s got so much issues you know make dua hard for him perhaps he didn’t notice you and he does not have issues today when allah subhanahu wa ta’ala grant us all goodness they are must hanna montana’ forgive everyone of us strengthen us in our belief make us from among those –
who can make us from those who are conscious of the few aspects that I have mentioned today I’m gonna be Hannah Mahalo
