 My brothers and sisters a very quick important message. Firstly we thank Allah سُبحانہ و تعالیٰ if you notice we just read سلاہ تو ظہر with جماعہ. And this is a gift of Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ one would not believe how blessed we are. It is Allah and Allah alone who gives us these opportunities to read in such peace and in such goodness and to be able to come and fulfill the duty we have onto our own make so we thank Allah سُبحانہ و تعالیٰ for this. شوہر ہوتا ہوتا ہے ۔ اس کی ضرورت ہی نہیں ہے جس نے قید ہے جب میں اللہ حالت ہوں ہوتا ہے نہیں ہے لیکن یہ براہ ہے ہے یہ کوئی بہت ہمارے کی ضروری ہماری کرنا ہوں اللہ سبحانہ علوہ تعالیٰ ہوتا ہے کہ ہمارے ہم کوئی صلاح کے بر دا سوچ کردی ہوگا جگہ ہمارے اینجاہی خیل کی تعلقی اہم crochet کے لئے جو ہماری مطالعہ rainی کاما کردے اور ان کووار کریں جو ہم بھی چیہیے کیا وہ pants لیناdrop امامی ہوتی ہے لیکن لگexcلہ مجھے مجھے میں سکتے ہیں اور اس سے افتاد ہے if there is no masjid in your area and you're living somewhere where perhaps it is difficult to get there one of the minimum things you could do is read صلاح والجماعہ even if it is in your home and obviously you know we are living in a country where you might not have a masjid nearby so at least you gather your family make something very important out of it the reason is i have the dean in me maybe perhaps you have the dean in you maybe perhaps but we need to pass that torch on to the generations if they witness that we have a keen interest in reading our salah within the home automatically without saying one word they will show a similar interests they will come at a time and you and i do know that when the generations that are coming forth will not want to be told anything if you tell them something perhaps they might be offended they might not want to listen to you they might think you are being unreasonable so that definitely has already come a time when we need to teach by example example meaning you show lots of love to your child and your child witnesses that this father of mine this mother of mine will love me so much this is what they do every day let me follow the footsteps without talking without saying anything they will follow the dean they will they will come forth mark my words my brothers and sisters they will come a time when it will virtually be impossible for us to tell our children what to do because of the way they may react to it so if we start from now by the will of Allah سبحانہ و تعالح leading by example we won't have to say one word they will come forth and they will be able by the will of Allah سبحانہ و تعالح witnessing our dedication and the goodness and the sweetness we get from it and by the will of Allah سبحانہ و تعالح they will be able to follow that beautiful example لہذا ہم اللہ سبحانہ و تعالح ہم بہت اپر جو اپر جانا ہے اپر اپر اپر اپر جانا ہے اپر اپر محاولہ not only our temper and so on but developing our good character and conduct it's not enough to say that i'm a person who fulfills صلیح but when we go home we swear we shout we scream we waste our time we sit in front of the television watching all sorts of movies or perhaps we're on our phone all day and all night we need to understand there are limits and we need to understand that Allah سبحانہ و تعالح has kept certain duties on our shoulders that we need to fulfill one thing that is of extreme importance that i have found very beneficial in my own life and obviously it's derived straight from the sunnah of rasulullah and that is to ask Allah's forgiveness genuinely every single day do not let a day pass without asking Allah's forgiveness Allah forgive me wallah whatever i've done certain things i know certain things i don't know certain things i did intentionally certain things unintentionally they were done yallah forgive me grant me purity grant me goodness yallah you know if they are sins that we know we've committed we engage in the repentance in tauba for those particular sins with the conditions of tauba and that would be to admit your sin to regret it to promise not to do it again to ask Allah سبحانہ و تعالح's forgiveness but if a person for example engages in something they don't know a lot of the times we do things and without even thinking and this is wrong because sometimes the environment is such that it just happens people happen to be doing things that that is not the ideal way of doing things not the proper way of doing things and we happen to just follow you know follow because of environmental pressure or whatever else it is the norm we ask Allah to forgive us really wherever we have faulted yallah forgive us the strength that is achieved by a movement through seeking the forgiveness of Allah is something so immense and intense that you look at محمد صلى اللہ و علیہ وسلم سنہ confirm you know احادیت when we say متفق علیہ there is no doubt about them that he used to seek forgiveness between 70 and 100 times a day he used to seek forgiveness of Allah he did not need it he was a nabi of Allah سبحانہ و تعالح صلى اللہ و علیہ وسلم he is the one who came to us to teach us the goodness and الحمد اللہ we should be at least following that example as best as we can so we ask Allah's forgiveness on a daily basis and when we seek Allah's forgiveness please my brothers and sisters do not reduce اصدر فار to a mere service by the mouth it should be genuine you should feel it in your heart oh Allah forgive me you know after salah the sunnah as soon as you make the سلام of the far of salah is to say اصدر فر اللہ ثرائیس that's the sunnah of رسول اللہ سبحانہ وسلم but let's not just say اصدر فر اللہ اصدر فر اللہ because it's a sunnah and we don't know what we said what are you saying you are saying اصدر فر اللہ i seek your forgiveness oh Allah you are my maker والا ہی the amount of strength we will achieve by that is so immense it's so great we you know if you take a look at سورت نوح for example where Allah سبحانہ و علیہ سبحانہ و تعالح speaks about the benefit of اصدر فر by the time of نوح علیہ سلام he was telling his people what are the benefits of اصدر فر are so the verses are a beautiful benefit of اصدر فر he says i told my people seek the forgiveness of Allah or my people he is indeed the most forgiving اِنہو کان غفر i stopped for a moment to tell you my brothers and sisters شیطان comes to us to make us think that the sin you have committed is beyond the forgiveness of Allah سبحانہ و علیہ سبحانہ و تعالح sometimes you grow a little bit older you turn to Allah and you are not proud of what you might have done in the past so شیطان comes to you and makes you think you know the sin i committed no ways Allah is not going to forgive me i'm going to be penalized i'm going to be punished and it's over and i don't know what's going to happen if that is the case we we are driven further away from Allah سبحانہ و تعالح don't let that happen اِنہو کان غفر اللہ سبحانہ و تعالح is indeed غفر not just غفور you know غفور is one who is forgiving غفر is one who is oft forgiving one who is very forgiving one who understands the nature of human because he is the maker and one who knows the condition of the heart in fact one in whose hands is the heart and its condition may Allah سبحانہ و تعالح soften our hearts to to be in his obedience and soften our hearts to be with him rather than against him i mean so if نوح علیہ السلام is saying if you seek this forgiveness obviously seek the forgiveness of Allah he is most forgiving don't lose hope in his mercy never no matter what you've done those who were غفر have turned to islam or they've repented and Allah has forgiven them so definitely if you have a person who is trying and they've faulted here and there they've committed for example a sin they're not proud of and they have warm tears of regret and repentance they need not become worried Allah سبحانہ و تعالح is indeed most forgiving most merciful be steadfast upon the path and you will find the doors opening one after the other what type of doors open when you engage in repentance when you engage in توبہ او اسطل فار when you ask Allah's forgiveness do you want to know the type of doors that open so let's continue the verses i just read now you see this he will send forth the rains from the sky in a way that is beneficial for you you know rain when it comes it comes with destruction and sometimes if it's too little it comes with a drought or it can destroy the crop too much of it is a problem too little of it is a problem you need the right amount at the right place you know what's the point of having all the rain in the city when the farms that are in the outlying areas have no rain and what's the point of having so much of rain when it comes to the farmland that it burns the crop you know the crop becomes rotten after a certain time so if a person engages in still fire they ask Allah's forgiveness they will definitely achieve the correct proportion of sustenance they will achieve the correct proportion of rain rain is connected to the livelihood the economy you know if you have good rain good crop masha Allah in the in a lot of the countries you have what they call food security and you have the blossoming and blooming of the entire economy because the rain is correct the weather is correct everything is beautiful so this is Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ telling us if you engage in still fire even your economic woes and difficulties will be made easy so he sends you the rain وَیُمْ دِدْکُمْ بِ اَمْوَادِمْ and he will he will strengthen you or he reaches out to you with wealth he will give grant you greater provision اموال اموال is the wealth who doesn't want wealth we would like wealth that is حلال that has barakah in it and blessings to be honest a mu'min is not concerned of having or amassing a lot of wealth he is more concerned of having the pleasure of Allah so to have wealth with the pleasure of Allah is مورن على نور but if Allah has is pleased with you and you don't have wealth it is still the new meaning it's still goodness you know we ask Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ to grant us sustenance obviously life is expensive we have to work very hard in order to earn and we will have to come and spend that money by the will of Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ who is in control it's Allah some people can earn 2000 perhaps a week and they don't know where it went and other people earn 200 a week and masha Allah they still have lots of change at the end of the the following week this is Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ so if we have this consciousness of Allah we ask Allah's سبحانہ و تعالیٰ constantly on a daily basis by the will of Allah he will help us to economize he will help us to spend correctly prioritize when it comes to a charity when it comes to a good deal and so on where to spend where not to spend but if a person has no consciousness of Allah they won't ask Allah's forgiveness correctly what that means is you know you just come and say Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ but you walk out and you're committing the first sin what is the far was that you know we go home and we start swearing what is the far was that if i say oh Allah forgive me purify me grant me goodness make me a good person such that i can be good in this world and i can achieve goodness in the after as well and i'm conscious of my statement all the time because i say it up to 100 times a day then obviously i will be a person whom when i mean to spend i think about it is this a good cause is this something that will benefit then i spend and in that way you will not spend unnecessarily but when a person has no fear of Allah or they are just paying lip service to the is still far they will spend on all the haram things you know i don't even need to mention of bad habits and haram habits we all know what it is so Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ says one of the benefits of asking Allah's forgiveness is that he will open the doors of sustenance for anyone who is struggling in terms of a debt in terms of you know finance and in a financial way i promise you if with conviction you ask Allah's forgiveness on a daily basis by the will of Allah the doors will begin to open because he owns the doors and he does not lie سبحانہ و تعالیٰ he does not lie you ask Allah's forgiveness continue asking Allah's forgiveness if not today then after three or four years perhaps he wants to keep you in a certain condition because he wants you to get closer to him sometimes Allah keeps us struggling we think it's struggling but we don't understand it's through that struggle that we found Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ it's through that difficulty that we came closer to Allah so this is the blessing of Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ so insha Allah we engage in is still far and we will achieve a lot of goodness Allah says you need to be amwadi but baneen Allah will grant you children offspring by the will of Allah and when we say baneen here by the will of Allah we're talking of those who will be the coolness of the eyes of their parents not just a child who perhaps you look at and you feel so stressed to say you know what that's my child and i don't know what they've done obviously that too is a test of Allah may Allah grant us all children who will be the coolness of our eyes and may he make us children as well who will be the coolness of our parents eyes i mean but at the same time if you would like offspring and you would like decent offspring one of the ways of achieving it is to ask Allah's forgiveness imagine the virtue of seeking forgiveness people say and i know some of the younger people sometimes you know we interact and we talk and say brother you've got to ask Allah's forgiveness he said for what what did i do did i do anything what did i do he said no hang on seeking forgiveness is such a great act of worship that even if you have not done anything wrong just by mere virtue of asking Allah's forgiveness your status is being elevated it's being elevated you get closer to Allah i'm asking Allah forgive me by saying that i'm acknowledging that he's the owner of forgiveness to ask at Allah's forgiveness is an act of worship that is huge huge subhanallah so this is why don't think for a moment what did i do wrong and why is it that i need to seek forgiveness seek the forgiveness and then you find the various benefits of it جعلکم انہارہ اللہ will grant you gardens اللہ will grant you rivers this is the goodness of the dunya as well as the goodness of the after subhanallah سبحان اللہ سبحان اللہ و تعالیٰ بلس اصول these are just a few words that i thought i would share with you my beloved brothers and sisters really it is important for us to turn to Allah through اسطرفار asking Allah's forgiveness on a daily basis show gratitude to Allah سبحان اللہ و تعالیٰ show your thanks to Allah for giving you so much by seeking his forgiveness constantly on a daily basis you know if you ask Allah's forgiveness he forgives you imagine if i get used to asking Allah's forgiveness one other times a day genuinely it does not have to be in one city it can be spread out through the entire day where maybe a few times in the morning i ask Allah's forgiveness later in the morning i ask Allah's forgiveness again i have اسطرفار on my tongue perhaps midday i ask Allah's forgiveness later on in the afternoon one day i will die at all you imagine on that day if we have got into the habit of asking Allah's forgiveness one of the last deeds we would have engaged in would have been asking Allah's forgiveness so get used to this because i guarantee you by the word of Allah if you have goodness in your heart and you have good words on your tongue as you depart you will not be let down by Allah سبحان اللہ و تعالیٰ that's the minimum guarantee we can have if you are if you have a good heart and you have good words do you think Allah is going to just throw you aside no اللہ will never go against his promise for me and for you اللہ does not go against his promise time and his promise of any nature if he has said something he will deliver so we ask Allah سبحان اللہ و تعالیٰ to make us this i think if we can at least start off with something great this nature we will be able to achieve the benefit he last thing i wish to say is look at how small it seems and look at how big reward is look at how small it seems you know if just is still far it seems like a little small matter but wallahi it is a huge issue it is something big it is something that keeps us focused and the reward of it is
