The Almighty Asks Us To Remember To Be Virtuous To One Another.
Remember To Be Kind To Everyone So That If A Day Comes When
You'Re In Crisis, At Least You Would Have Had A Good Relationship
With Everyone. Amongst Us
There Are Doctors, Amongst Us
There'S The Baker, Amongst Us
There Is The Plumber, Amongst Us There
The Teachers, Amongst Us There The Scholars, Amongst Us
There Are So Many, Remember They'Re Even The Cleaners And
Those Who Do All All Sorts Of Jobs.
Everyone Has A Diverse Life. Allah Says Be Kind To The People,
Be Kind To Everyone And This Will Build Community, Society
And The Nation. In This Way Whenever There Is A Crisis, We
Stand Together Shoulder To Shoulder, That Will Be A Means
Of Comfort Knowing That Everyone Is With You. When We Have
This Major Crisis.
We Always Hear People Saying We'Re In It Together. Islam Teaches
Us To Be In It Together Even Before The Crisis.
This Is What Allah Says
In Surah Al-Baqarah, Allah Says Do Not
Forget To Be Virtuous Amongst Yourselves To One Another And
Subhanallah, Allah Says I'M Watching I Know What You'Re Doing
And Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Has Given Us The Best Advice.
Sometimes It'S Difficult.
We Are So Selfish.
We Think About Ourselves And So On, Remember A Kind Word
You Will Never Lose Anything By Being Polite, Greet People
Respond To The Greeting, Smile At One Another, The Small Assistance
That You May Be Able To Render To Those Helping Someone Pick
Up A Wallet That Might Have Fallen Or Dropped, Helping A Person
Who Perhaps Has A Puncture The Motor Vehicle Needs A Little
Bit Of Repair And You'Ve Assisted, Remember It'S Not All About
Yourself. It'S About Us.
We Are Humanity.
We Are The Creatures Of The Almighty Even The Animals And The Plants.
We Are All Creatures Of Allah.
So Allah Says Take Care Of Each Other.
You Must Take Care Of Each Other.
You See When I Fall Ill, I Have People Looking After Me.
Imagine If I Had A Bad Relationship With Everyone Who'S Going
To Take Care Of Of Me? My Temper, I Would Have To Pay Because
Of My Temper.
I Would Have To Pay Because Of My Bad Habits And Qualities.
So Allah Says Speak Respectfully To Everyone.
You Never Know When You'Re Going To Need Them.
And If That Is The Case, You Always Need Allah, So Speak To
Allah Every Day, The Verse Immediately After That Allah Says
Subhanallah, Allah Says Protect
Safeguard Your Prayers, Protect Them.
Make Sure You Pray Especially The Middle Prayer.
So The Middle Prayer That Which Is Most Difficult Salatul Asr,
And The Prayer That Is Very Difficult.
Allah Says Protect It Make Sure That You Fulfill It, Didn'T
We Say Develop A Relationship With Allah Communicate With
People In A Good Way. Allah, You Should Be Communicating Within
An Even Even Better Way, So Protect It. The Same Way
We Are Taught To Have Good Relations With Everyone.
We Are Taught To Be Having The Best Relationship With Allah
Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala And Allah Says That In This Way, You
Would Definitely Be Able To Save Yourself From Lots Of Calamity,
Lots Of Hardship Then In The Same Surah' Surah Al-Baqarah
Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Tells Us About How You Need To
Believe In His Power And His Might .You Call Out To Allah
And There Must Be An Element Of Conviction, Go And Take A
Look At The Stories Of Those Of The Past.
He Mentions The Story Of David And Goliath (Dawud And Jalut)
David May Peace Be Upon Him On One Hand Durwood Against
All Odds, Dawud Would Overcame Goliath Or Jalut Against All
Odds. So He Was Smaller.
He Had Less Resources.
His Weapon Was Not As
Grand And Here Is Goliath The Mighty Who Was Bragging And
Boasting About All His Might And With One Shot Dawud Or
David Overcame Jalut And Allah Says Goliath Was No More.
So Allah Is Showing Us That You Know, What So Many Times
A Small Number Has Overcome A Large Number, A Small Power
Has Overcome A Great Power, So Don'T Become Too
Proud About Your Power, Your Might, Your Wealth.
Your Looks, Your Business, Whatever Else It May Be.
Don'T Be Proud.
You Are Not Far From Allah'S Might, Allah Is Mightier Than
You Are, If Allah Wants He Can Take It Away In A Flash.
He Has Done It To Others.
Why Do You Watch Them, Hear About Them And Think It'S Never
Going To Happen To You?
Well, If You Are Humble Perhaps It May Not Happen To You.
But If You'Re A Haughty, Perhaps You May Be Deserving
Of That Type Of Allah'S Treatment Of You To Put It In A
Respectful Way.
So My Brothers And Sisters, Allah Gives Us This Example To
Say When You Have, Don'T Be Proud When You'Re In Power, Serve
The People. When You Have That Authority Serve The People,
When People Are Working For You Treat Them
Well. A Day Will Come When You Will Work For Others Or Your
Children Will Work For The Children Of Those Who To Work
For You, The Tables Turn, Allah Says The Tables Don'T Remain The Same.
So In Order To Cater For A Rainy Day, You Must Be Very Wise.
You Must Have Some Foresight.
That'S What Allah Is Saying.
So Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Tells Us That He Owns Entire
Universe. There Is A Verse In Surat Al-Baqarah Called Ayatul
Kursi. The Verse Wherein The Pedestal Is Mentioned And Allah
Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Says If You Read That Verse Thrice In
The Morning Thrice In The Evening, You Will Be Protected
From The Devil.
You Will Be Protected From The Whispers Of The Devil And
From Him Coming To You And Harming You. You Want Comfort? Read
Ayatul Kursi Read It Thrice In The Morning, Twice In The Evening,
That Verse. Read It Once After Every Prayer.
This Is What We Are Taught By Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala. This
Verse Has In It The Greatness Of Allah, The Fact That He Doesn'T
Sleep. He Doesn'T Get Tired. The Fact That He Protects Everything.
Nothing Can Escape Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala.
So If We Were To Repeat These Verses We Would Definitely
Be Able To Achieve Comforted At Night.
You Want To Sleep.
Well, Well, You Need To Lay Your Trust In Allah, Lock Your
Doors. Read Your Ayatul Kursi, Read The Little Prayers That
They Are For The Evening And Go To Bed.
Lay Your Trust In Allah.
You Will Sleep As We Say Like A Log.
Subhanallah, My Brothers And Sisters When You Lay Your Trust
In Allah, When You'Ve Tied Your Camel, You Locked Everything
You Did Whatever You Could And You Prayed To Allah.
What More Do You Want?
Don'T Worry, Relax, Be At Ease Allah Will Give You The Comfort,
Allah Will Grant You The Most Beautiful
Sleep Ever, Because You Related Your Sleep To Allah, You Prayed
And Sought Forgiveness Before You Slept. When You Got Up You
Pray And You Seek Forgiveness And Thank Allah For A New Day.
The Prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him Used To Say If You
Take My Soul During My Sleep, Then Forgive It, Give It Paradise.
And If You Are To Release It Again And Get Me Up From My
Sleep, Then Protect It In The Way That You Protect Your Pious
Servants. What A Beautiful Prayer!
What A Beautiful Prayer! Many Of Us Don'T Know It And
Sometimes We Couldn'T Be Bothered.
We'Re Too Tired.
We Forget To Say The Name Of The Almighty The Last Thing
At Night, The First Thing In The Morning, What Type Of Comfort
Would You Like? My Brothers And Sisters If You Really Want
Comfort, If You Are Really Searching For Comfort, You Need
To Develop That Relation With Allah, Call Out To Him.
Say His Name In The Evening.
Say His Name In The Morning, Praise Him Morning And Evening
Pray To Him, Repeat
The Verses Of Revelation. They Are Powerful, That Is The Word
Of Allah, To Say The Word Of The Almighty As It Was Revealed
Is By Far The Most Powerful Way Of Declaring The Greatness
Of Allah And Even Protecting Yourself From Matters Of The
Unseen. May Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Protect All Of Us.
This Is Why He Says
Immediately After That,
He Says Allah Is The Protector Of Those Who Believe, That Belief
That Conviction That Faith In The One And Only He Who Made
You. That Conviction Will See You Through.
No Doubt, No Doubt At All. He Says He Is The Protector Of Those
Who Believe. My Brothers And Sisters We Must Be Grateful To
Allah, He Has Removed Us From The Darkness And He Has Definitely
Brought Us To The Light. Then Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Speaks
About How He Will Multiply The Reward Of Those Who Spend
In His Cause On Condition That They Don'T Brag About What
They Have Spent. So Sometimes There Is A Crisis And Mashallah
We'Ve Got Money.
So We Spent And We Make A Big Deal Of It And We Actually
Brag About It.
And We Tell The Whole World About It In A Way That Is Not
Encouraging Them To Give Because If You Were To Tell Others
In A Way That You Want To Encourage Them That'S A Good Deed.
But If You Were To Brag About It And Look What I Did And
I Did This And I Did That. Allah Says, We Don'T Count That
Good Deed.
It'S Actually Against You Not For You.
You Want Comfort? When You Spend Hide It, Don'T Show Others.
Don'T Brag About It.
Don'T Spoil Your Good Deeds By Bragging About The Good Deed.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Make It Easy.
So Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala Says Those Who Spend In Our
Cause, We Multiply It For Them Seven Hundred Fold And Beyond
And Allah Says Those Who Spend And Do Not Follow Up That Spending
With Bragging And With Harm Then We Will Give Them A Good
Reward And For Them Is Paradise.
But For Those Who Spend And Then They Harm And Then They
Brag About It And They Expect As A Result Of Their Charity
To Be Treated In A Special Way Simply Because They Were Charitable
Allah Says, Well We Gave You Your Treatment In The World.
Now, What Do You Want?
You Know, So This Is Why Allah Says, Don'T Brag Be Humble
The Best Of Those Who Give Are Those Who Give In Such A Way
That Nobody Will Know That They'Ve Given Or That People
Know That They Have Given But They Are So Humble That People
Won'T Believe That This Is The Person Who Gave. This Is How
We Should Be As Believe, As My Brothers And Sisters, No Matter
What The Almighty Has Given You, Be Humble
Don'T Brag About Things, Don'T Harm People.
We'Ve Been Saying This Every Other Day.
This Is In The Quran.
These Are The Verses That Allah Has Revealed To Us.
He Has Disciplined Us Both In Worship As Well As In Our Treatment Of Others.
May Allah Bless You All.
