In Islam We Are Taught To Dress Modestly. We Are Taught To Dress Modestly. This
Modest Dressing Is Not Just For The Females. It Is For The
Males As Well And We Are Taught To Be Of High Character,
Conduct, Values And So On. This Modest Dress Is Supposed To Calm Us. It Is
Supposed To Bring About A Sense Of Peace, A Sense Of Equality, Whether You Are Rich
Or Poor, Whether You Are Fair Or Dark In Complexion. Allah Loves You, Remember That,
And Allah Loves You An Unmatched Love; It'S Up To You To
Reciprocate That. Remember My Words, Allah Loves You But Do
You Love Allah, That'S The Question? People Say Allah Doesn'T Love Me.
If Someone Says That, It'S Because They Don'T Love Allah. That'S The Reason. Allah
Loves You. Do You Love Allah? If The Answer Is Yes,
How Can You Give Up Your Prayer? How Can You Start Exposing Yourself?
I Remember Someone Ask Me A Question And I'M Taking The Liberty Of
Answering It Here. Because I Think It'S Absolutely Important. Why Would Allah Judege?
This Was The Question, Right? Why Would Allah Judge You Based On Your
Dress? Why Do I Need To Cover My Hair Or My Legs? Why Would Allah Actually Judge
Me Based On Whether My Legs Are Covered Or My Hair Is Covered, You See? These Are
The Questions Of Today. So I Said For The Same Reason That He Would Judge You; If
You Prayed Or Not, If You Stole Or Not, If You Did Anything Else Or Not. These Are
Rules And Regulations. You Call Yourself A Muslim.
What Is The Meaning Of A Muslim? Islam Is Generally Interpreted In Two Different Ways.
Coming From.. Islam Which Means To Surrender And
To Submit: Surrender, Who Surrendered? Anyone Who
Wants To Call Themselves Muslim; It Means They Have Surrendered. If They Don'T Want
To Surrender, Well, Stop Calling Yourself A Muslim. But Today They Want To Say I'M
A Muslim And I Won'T Surrender. It'S A Different Thing If You Have A Weakness.
If You'Re Weak And You Know That Look I'M Supposed To Be Doing This But I'M
Weak, Oh! Allah Forgive Me Then You'Re A Sinful Person, Perhaps Or You Are
Struggling To Do The Right Thing. But If You Are A Defiant Person And You Say I'M
A Muslim But Who Says Alcohol Is Haram? I'M A Muslim Who Says Gambling Is Haram?
I'M A Muslim Who Says Adultery Is Haram / Banned? If That'S The Case, Please You Can Do
What You Want Because You Are Answerable To Allah But Don'T Call Yourself A
Muslim. Because You Have Not Submitted To Allah And You Want To Change The Religion.
That'S What People Are Trying To Do Today. They Want To Change The Deen / Religion In A
Way That They Will Bring About Things That Are Not In The Deen Into The Deen
And Say It'S The Deen And They Want To Remove Things From The Deen And Say
That'S The Deen And If You Are Sticking To The Straight And Narrow, They Will
Call You An Extremist, Perhaps. May Allah Forgive Us.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'Ala Guide Us. We Need To Develop Ourselves.
I Cannot Shove Down Your Throat Anything. I Can Only Encourage You And If You See
Me Doing Wrong, You Can Encourage Me And Even If You Don'T See Me Doing Something
Wrong, It'S Your Duty To Tell Me, To Encourage Me, To Remind Me. Alhamdulillah,
So, People Are Doing Things That Are Unacceptable And Saying They Are Part Of Islam.
I Was Saying That There Are Two Things; One Is To Submit And Two Is Peace
I'M Sure We'Ve All Heard Islam Means Peace. You Heard That? Islam Means Peace
And Others Will Say Islam Means To Submit And Surrender. The Reality Is It
Means Both Of Them. You Submit And Surrender And You Will Achieve Peace.
No Submission, No Surrender, No Achievement Of Peace, What Does That Mean?
Allah Has Come With A Recipe. He Has Given It To Us Through Mohammad (Saw).
It'S Amazing. It'S Unique. It'S Something That Is A Gift Of
Allah Subhanahu Wata'Ala, And What Do We Do?
We Know It. We Read It. We Hear It But We Couldn'T Really Be Bothered, And We'Re
Still Searching For Peace. We'Re Still Searching For Peace, Subhanallah.
The Peace Is There. Fulfill Your Prayer, Wallaih, I Promise You; My Brothers And
Sisters And This Is A Challenge For Myself And Yourselves. I Promise You And
I Challenge You, Get Up For Salatul Fajr Early Considering It An Honour.
Try It, Consider It An Honor. Set Your Clock 4:30
For Example, And You Know Salah Perhaps Will Only Be A Quarter Past Five In The
Masjid Or I Don'T Need To Read Salah Up To Just Before Sunrise. One Might Argue
And They Might Say That. But The Challenge Is To Get
Up Early, Get Up Really Early For The Sake Of Your Maker.
I Love Him. I'M Going To Get Up At 4:30 For Him.
I Love Him. I'M Going To Get Up At 4:30
And You Know What? He Tells Us The Rules And Regulations
I Have Stipulated For You Are Actually For Your
Benefit. I Don'T Want From You Anything.
I Don'T Want From Them Any Sustenance.
I Don'T Want Anything From Them Nor Do I Want Them To Feed Me.
It'S Not About Materialism. Allah Says I Don'T Need Your Wealth. I Don'T Need That
Particular Food. In Fact,
Allah Says
Indeed, It Is Allah Who Is The Provider, The All-Powerful, It Is Allah Who Is The Provider.
He Will Provide For You. Develop A Link With Him, Become Friends With Him,
Get Close To Him, How? I Will Get Up Early For Salat Al-Fajr. I Will Make Will Wudu /Ablution.
I Will Cleanse Myself And I Will Stand Up In Prayer Considering It An Honor.
Wallahi, I Promise You, You Will Achieve Peace In Your Heart For The Rest Of That Day.
Wallahi, Have We Felt That? Have We Felt It?
I Hear Quite A Few Yeses But We Want To Hear A Few More Yeses As Well In The
Future. You Get Up For The Sake Of Allah. If You Are Ready To Get Up Even Before
That And Read Salatul Tahajjud Or At Least Make Dua To Allah, Pray /Supplicate
To Him At That Time Of The Morning You Will Achieve A Lot Of Peace, A Lot Of
Comfort Even Though You Will Have Challenges. By The Way, Who On Earth Does
Not Have Challenges? Who Does Not Have Difficulties? We Think That We Are On
Earth And Life Is Supposed To Be Rosy, No Way. Even A Rose Has Thorns You Know That?
So If Your Life Is Supposed To Be Rosy, Well; I Might Say Ok It Is. But These Two,
Three Things Are Just The Thorns In The Path. So What You Have To Do; Make The
Most Of The Smell The Scent, Mashallah, The Rose Enjoy What It Looks Like But
Once In A While You Might Be Injured. There Might Be A Little Bit Of Blood Here.
What I Mean Is Things May Not Happen Exactly The Way You Want It.
Not Everything Can Be Smooth As You Wish And As You Want, Subhanallah.
But What You Do Need To Know Is Life Will Be Full Of Tests From The
Beginning To The End And Allah Says That You Are Created To Be Tested. That'S All.
So What Happens In The Test? You Have Questions That Are Difficult They Cannot
Be Easy All The Time. You Have Situations To Resolve That Will Not Be So Easy.
They Will Be Difficult But Allah Says Spend A Few More Years There
And In Sha Allah, You Will Get Contentment.
The Prophet (Saw) Says The Affairs Of A True Believer Are
Amazing. They Are Strange In A Unique Beautiful Positive Way, Why? Because When
Something Good Happens Then A Believer Is Thankful. So It'S Better For That Believer
And When Something Bad Happens To Them, They Bear Patience. They Are
Still Content. They Surrendered To The Decree Of Allah Subhanahu Wata'Ala.
So They Are Still Happy. Many Of Us We'Re Not Happy With The
Degree Of Allah. Allah Chose That You Will Have This. You Say No.
I Don'T Want It. Well, You'Re Not Going To Be Able To Change It. That'S Allah.
He Gave You Hair In A Certain Way, A Face In A Certain Way,
If He Gave You A Complexion In A Certain Way, That'S His Choice.
You Cannot Say I'M Upset With Allah. Allah Chose Your Parents For You.
There Is Nothing You'Re Going To Be Able To Do About Changing That, Zero.
That'S Something, In Fact, You Cannot Even Change.
