Narrated Ibn 'Umar. Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) said,
"The worst lie is that a person claims to have seen a dream which he has not seen"

(Bukhari No. 6594)

AssalamuAlaikum,

Bismillahir-rehmanir-raheem.

Today's Friday Sermon was based on the following Hadith:

“Take benefit of five before five:
your youth before your old age,
your health before your sickness,
your wealth before your poverty,
your free-time before your preoccupation,
and your life before your death.”

The Imam stressed on the fact that once we loose our youth, physical activity will be tougher. So he urged the youth to do more Ibadah now itself. Also he said one can never be sure if he/she will be alive to see the next day. Don't postpone repentance, Ask for forgivness to Allah as soon as possible.

He Also mentioned two Examples of our pious predecessors on how meticulous they were while Doing good deeds.

1. Abdullah ibn Mubarak (ra) was once fighting in a war for Islam. When it was time for Salat, he went to a river nearby, tied his horse and made wudu. By the time he finished Salat, the horse had wandered to a nearby field and ate the crops. Abdullah ibn Mubarak (ra) was very disheartened as the horse ate the crops without the permission of the fields Owner. He then insisted the owner to keep the horse. And he got another horse and said he cannot strive in the way of Allah on a horse that has consumed what did not belong to it.

[b]2. [/b]Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal (ra), (one of the great Imams who has memorised 1 million Hadith) once heard that a man far of in Damascus has got a specific hadith. So he traveled to Damascus to meet the person. When he reach there he saw the man with a donkey and has put more than the donkey can carry. The donkey refused to move forward, so the man tricked the donkey with an empty basket as if it has food in it. The donkey hence moved forward think the basket had food in it. Seeing this Imam Hanbal refused to seek the Hadith from this man and returned back.

First Attack of shaytan

[a verbal exchange between Shaytaan and Shaqiq Balkhi (Rahmatullah ‘alaih). ]


Shaytaan comes from[b] the front [/b](as he said he would) and he whispers :
“Why are you so concerned about displeasing Allah Ta’ala and why are you so wary of sins ? Why do you exert yourself in so much of Ibaadah?
Enjoy yourself. Allah Ta’ala is Ghafur-your-Raheem. (most Forgiving and most Merciful).”

Shaytaan approaches many in the same manner, whispering : "Why engage yourself in Ibaadat, Zikr, Tilawat, etc ? Why are you so
particular in performing Salaah 5 times a day, in paying Zakaat and in fasting? Why are you so rigid and strict in conforming to
Shariah ? Allah Ta’ala is Ghafur-your-Raheem."

   Shaqiq Balkhi (Rahmatullah ‘alaih) said : ‘Yes, indeed Allah Ta’ala is Ghafur-your-Raheem; but for whom?’”
“AND VERILY, I AM INDEED FORGIVING TO HIM WHO REPENTS, BELIEVES (IN MY ONENESS, AND ASSOCIATES NONE IN WORSHIP
WITH ME) AND DOES RIGHTEOUS GOOD DEEDS, AND THEN REMAINS CONSTANT IN DOING THEM (TILL DEATH).”
[SURAH TA-HA 20 : 82]

Allah Ta’ala’s Forgiveness extends to those who make sincere Taubah and Istighfaar, believe in Allah Ta’ala, do Amal-e-Sawleh
(righteous deeds and actions) and remain steadfast.

Allah Ta’ala thus warns us explicitly in the Qur`aan Sharief : “Let not the deceiver (Shaytaan) beguile you in regard to Allah.”
Don’t be misled by Shaytaan [/b]to commit sins because Allah Ta’ala is The Most Forgiving and Most Merciful.
Whilst Allah Ta’ala is indeed Ghafur-your-Raheem, He is also [b]Muntaqim – One who takes Retribution. Out of His kindness,
Allah Ta’ala gives to us numerous opportunities to make amends and return to His Obedience. If we still persist and insist on sin,
and we are bent on disobedience, then His Punishment is something that cannot be escaped.
In fact, the same Shaytaan who, out of absolute spite, invites us to the disobedience of Allah Ta’ala in every cunning and conniving
way, had himself said : “…Verily! I fear Allah for Allah is severe in punishment.”
(Surah Anfaal 8 :48)

I seek refuge in Allah from the cursed shaytan.

[size=14pt]The Attack of Shaytan from Four Sides.[/size]

When shaytan was ousted by Allah he made a statement:
“Because You have sent me astray, surely I will sit in wait against them (human beings) on Your Straight Path.
Then I will come to them from before them and behind [/b]them, from their [b]right and from their[b] left[/b], and You will not find most of them as thankful ones (i.e. they will not be dutiful to You).”
(Surah A’raaf 7 : 16/17)

Allah Ta’ala in turn said : “Certainly you shall have no authority over My slaves, except those who follow you of the ‘ghaween’
(Mushrikeen, those who are astray, criminals, polytheists and evil doers, etc.).”
(Surah Al-Hijr 15 : 42)

Allah Ta’ala also says : “Verily, he has no power over those who believe and put their trust only in their Lord (Allah).”
(Surah An-Nahl 16 : 99)

Sayyidina Abu Huraira (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW)
“Do you know who is poor?”
He was told, “The poor among us, O Messenger of Allah, is he who has no
dirham and no possessions.”
He said, “The poor of my ummah is one who comes on the Day of Resurrection with salah and fasting and zakah, but also comes with abuses (he has hurled) on this one, accusations [/b]on that one, [b]devouring of some property, blood of someone, slaying of another. So he sits and loses this piety (to someone) and that piety (to another) so that when  his good deeds are finished before he has paid off [/b]what is against him of sins, he [b]carries their sins thrown to him till he is cast into the fire.” 

[Tirmidhi hadith no2426)]

"To completely trust in Allah is to be like a child who knows deeply that even if he does not call for the mother, the mother is totally aware of his condition and is looking after him."

[Imam Al Ghazali]

Forgiveness.

''If you see that your[b] heart is becoming hard [/b]and your body is becoming weak and your provision is decreasing,
know that you are involved in that which doesn't concern you.''
- Malik ibn Dinar

Prophet Muhammad Salallahu Alaihi wassalam,was faced with a serious difficulty, he would supplicate :

“Ya Hayyu, ya Qayyumu, bi-rahmatika astaghithu"
(O the Living, O the Eternal, I seek help in Your grace).

[ Tirmidhi ]
