BismiAllahi AlRahman AlRaheem,
(These are tentative live notes....needs to be edited; nevertheless, the speach today was AMAZING...spiritually uplifting)
Even if people lost hope, you don’t loose hope with them.
Few lessons:
- We should always have hope, no matter what situation. The greatest sin is shirk of Allah, and feeling secure in punishment, and giving up in mercy of Allah swt. Once the ball starts rolling the right way, it can happen very quickly, change will happen very quickly
- Hijrah: leave sins for the sake of Allah. “a muslim is whom are safe from the hands and their tongue. The one that makes hijrah, leaves for Allah from things that are forbidden.
- Reward of the hijrah, all his previous sins will be wiped out. “in times of hardship, when making 3ibadah, is like making hijrah to mohammed s” the greater the hardship, the greater the reward. Burning coal is what leads to paradise.
You always in a state of dawah, even the little things that you do. You never know what affects someone and when it hits them. Maybe you get their attention through the use of “bismiAllah”
First thing that mo(s) said
“oh people, spread the salams,
“the binning to your journey of paradise starts with a salam.
Sign of judgment, is that person who gives salam ONLY if he needs something
At times, the sahaba when a tree separated, they renew their salam
Always make extra and give to your neighbors and friends…
If your not expecting a gift, any gift is a diamond ring.
3 major things :
1. Establish masjid
2. Establish brotherhood
3. Rules/Regulations; constitution of madine
The camel was left to roam, it went to two orphans place and sat there. Wherever the camel sat, then that’s where he will establish his start. Orphan has not reached the age of puberty; his wealth is his! The orphans wanted to give the land to Mo(s), but mo(s) wanted to PAY FOR IT. As an orphan, your wealth can’t be given away without prior approval (although it’s the oraphan’s full property)
This place was a graveyard…mo(s) ordered all the bones to be moved, and planted trees. And the masjid was about to be built.
As a leader, you let them do their specialty
Mo(s) told ammar that he will be killed by tresgresors, and his last drink was milk. Ammar died when he was fighting with Ali against mu3awiya. This is the proof that Ali was in the right side.
Manners are a great pillar in our etiquettes toward learning and practicing islam. Just like previous companions, one doesn’t need daleel to learn or have manners.
Mo(s) didn’t want a bad breath (not eat garlic) because he didn’t want a bad breath for Jibreel, because he doesn’t know when jabreel comes to him.
When you love someone, you want to like what they like, talk the way they talk, want what they want. If you truly love someone, you emulate them.
When you look at a masjid, its not its exterior look, but the interior activities that go on inside the masjid. A place for worship/education/social gatherings/play/poor/dermatory/dawah/army/ a place to keep the prisoners (as a form of dawah).
Love for the sake of Allah, is when you want for people to come close to allah, and nothing for yourself. This is the GREATEST love. Doing something for your spouse, treat them kindly, give them their rights, but don’t seek anything in recompense. And if it comes UNEXPECTEDLY, you will be more appreciative. In this mindset, you will always be nice and kind to your spouse. Even though she’s angry, don’t return the anger, be patient. If you put this between your family, between your mother…always return the goodness, and hide the anger.
To be continued...
