 أرحمد الله نحمده ونستعينه ونستغفره ونعوذ بالله من شرور نفسنا واسيات عمارنا من يهده الله فراما بالمله ومن يُضرن فراهده وصراته وسرمه على أفضل خلق الله على سيدنا وحبيبنا رسول الله وعلى آله وأصحابه ومنواله أما بعد في عباد الله أوسيكم وأوسي نفسي بتقوى الله في السر والعلنية إن تقوى الله سبحانه وتعالى رأسه كل خير الله سبحانه وتعالى أمر عباده أن يتقوى الله سبحانه وتعالى جعل التقوى مفتاحا الجنة الحمد لله الله سبحانه وتعالى سيزن القرآن في بيوتن لذين الله أن ترفع ويذكر فيها اسمه يسبح له فيها رجال يسبح له فيها من قدوم والآصار رجال لا يفوله انتجارة وربيع عن ذكر الله وإقام الصلاة وإتاء الزكاة ولا يخافون ويخافون يوما تتقلب في القروب ورأبصار الله سبحانه وتعالى يقول لك أن هناك مواجهات التي تجدها to be established حين يسمى ويكلم ويحفظ ومعرفة فيها في أول أيقاء والأخر أيقاء ويقول لك من الذين لا يتفع باستقل العدد أو التدريب ويا يدفع أو يجعب والذي يكون مهمة الله سبحانه وتعالى من تنخفض المرارب من تساعدها والله سبحانه وتعالى يقول أنه يفعل هذا الهواتف احسنوا نعمي في مجرد منه يجب ان يجده ركبن من أكثر than ما يفعله يزيدهم خطره and to increase them from his bounty. And when he said سبحانه وتعالى that يارزق من يشاء بغير حساب. يارزق الله من يشاء بغير حساب that Allah provides whomever he pleases without any reckoning. الله سبحانه وتعالى has no reckoning like merchants. In this world they reckon that something cost the added value, transportation. They look at all those, they examine all of these things and then they look at what their reasonable profit is and then they sell it for that. And the person buying it also thinks about he might go and look at other places because he reckons people in this world they reckon and why? Why do they do that? Because they're limited. Their supplies are limited. Their capital is limited. The person purchasing knows that he has a limited budget. As you go buy a house the first thing the real estate agent says to you is what price range are you looking for? Because they don't want you to waste their time because they know you're limited but they don't know how much that limit is. Is it 2 million, 5 million, 10 million? Those houses in the bay area 15, 20 million dollars. There's people who can afford those. So everybody has limitations on their bounty, on their wealth. But Allah SWT has no limitations. So He has permitted houses to be set up where He can be glorified in those houses by night and by day. And He visits and tells us that the people that are going to occupy those houses are people that aren't diverted by their تجارة and their بيق. By the world the concerns of this life engagement in activities. But this group in here or wherever we are in the bay area there's a number of massage in the bay area. This is a limited number. But if you look at the actual people that are in the massage and how much they represent first of all of the overall community it's a minute amount of people. Most people right now are working. They're waiting till 5 o'clock. Thank God it's Friday or 4 o'clock. So they can leave their offices and go and do what they do on the weekend and return on Monday. Where is their primary activity? Their primary activity is the acquisition of wealth. That's the primary activity and what people are doing out there. And humans have to do that because we've created very complicated societies where we need exchange of goods. Nobody can do everything. We're not hunter-gatherers anymore. We have situations where we go and we work and we do these things and we help each other. So you need a pair of shoes and you go out, hunt the animal, kill the leather, skin it then tan the leather and then sew the leather together and make your shoes. When I was in West Africa it's very easy to make a pair of shoes. It's not hard. There won't be nice Prada shoes or some kind of Italian shoe but it's not hard to do. You can even, there's homeless people that have cardboard that they just tie onto their feet. Humans can do a lot of things but we've created complicated societies in a certain way we like to be fashionable whatever. So all of those things create complication. The more complex a society becomes the more difficult it becomes for any one person to become independent. No, they're completely dependent on others for groceries, all these things. We don't farm, we don't do this. This is the the hour of human nature. But the majority of people become so obsessed with the acquisition of wealth that they forget the primary purpose of life. Not only do they become so obsessed with the acquisition of wealth but their obsession wears them out. And because they get worn out they need recreation. So the weekend in our culture becomes two days or two and a half days of just trying to restore some of their vital energy in order to go back in to the fay of the work week. And then at the end of the day they're so exhausted every night that they literally go home and just drop dead. Literally. And wind down as they say. Wind down because they're all wound up getting tighter and tighter. So they wind down. Wind down usually with things like wine in this culture. That's how they wind down with wine. But Allah SWT tells us in the Quran that the primary purpose of life is not your commercial activities. The primary purpose of life is not the acquisition of wealth. In fact we're warned about that in the Quran. In many verses. There's people who say اهلكتو مان اللومدد. The person that does it he's not self-reflective and he says اهلكتو مان اللومدد. He's boasting. اهلكتو مان اللومدد. There's people who in the Quran Allah SWT they say اهلكمو تكاثرو. حتى زركم المقابر. Divying with one another in the acquisition of goods has you so preoccupied. It has you entertained. In fact the word لحو really the root of it is entertained. Entertainment is when you are diverted in something that is not primary does entertain me. In Arabic لحو is to be concerned with something that is not primary to your concern to the detriment of what is primary to your concern. Now the proposal I sent permitted لحو in homeopathic doses. He permitted لحو during weddings E-festivities things like that. Occasionally لحو is important recreation. One of the things one of the Sahaba said sometimes I use باتن things that are meaningless things in order to أستجمع in order to recreate for حق in order to recreate in other words to restore my energy for حق so you can exhaust yourself in حق and باتن but in our society most people have become so preoccupied with their acquisition of wealth and then with trying to sustain the energy necessary for that complete preoccupation. الله سبحانه وتعالى says both of those things are in reality waste of time if those are your central activities if that's why you're doing them if you're doing the work in order to sustain your باتن or if you're doing your باتن in order to sustain your work so people in our culture are trapped in a vicious cycle in a vicious cycle they work for play and when they play in order to go back to work so it's really like the rat spinning and that's why what do they call it the rat race because rats race on those little spinning things and they're not going anywhere but they think they're going anywhere now if people stop and reflect on this they have anxiety attacks so they go to the psychiatrists and he gives them things like angiolidic drugs that's why there's a massive industry in our culture for people taking drugs to calm them down from their anxiety so there's all these people out there that are on these drugs they're driving around you go to the grocery store and they're smiling and you don't realize that that smiles the result of a drug I'm making this up you just read the numbers in in the drug everybody's got economic downturn except the people selling angiolidic drugs they don't have economic downturns in fact they go up when things go down because people get more anxiety they're worried about losing their jobs if they understand their religion don't have those same types of anxieties why? because Allah says that man is created in anxiety a state of right? when good comes to him he starts withholding why does he withhold it because of the anxiety if I don't hold on to this I'm going to lose it if I lose it I won't have any money if I don't have any money I won't be able to buy food if I live by food I'm going to start it up if I start it up I'm going to die if I die I don't exist anymore that's the way people think in states of anxiety but Allah says إلا المسلمين except people that are in a state of prayer why? because they're not entertained in their acquisition of wealth from remembering the real reason that they're here which is to remember Allah SWT there was a time in the Muslim world where when you couldn't go into the soup without having the majority of people either with a subha or reading Quran while they were waiting for customers to come in that was the Muslim world the Muslim world was filled with people that actually knew that the primary purpose of their existence was to know their Lord ما خربتوا الجنة ورنزة إلا لي عبدون ما أريدوا منهم يرسق وما أريدوا منهم يطينون أنا only created همين الجنة ومعهم ومعهم ومعهم أنا only created them to know me to worship me to adore me أنا لا أريد أريد منهم أريد منهم أريد منهم أريد منهم they don't need like you see in feudal culture in pre-modern world and still in corporate feudal culture because it's a type of feudalism people just think they're free now as opposed in the old days they knew they were a slave but now people think they're free but they're still trapped in feudal systems in the feudal system the corporation is like the slave master the people that come in to the corporation are like the slaves now you have to take care of the slaves to a certain degree because you want them to work more they have you can go to seminars here that teach you how to make your employees more happy because happier employees have higher productivity so they're not being nice to you because they're nice people necessarily they'll fire you if they think they can make more money by firing you but they're nice to you because they know one there's going to be less chance of suits against them in a litigious society where people sue very easily but the main reason why people had servants and slaves and these things is to increase their wealth to do things for them the main reason they want to increase of wealth freedom from anxiety and a sense of security they want a sense of security and they want to be free from anxiety that's what everybody wants right as it hasn't said the foundation of human existence is just trying to get rid of anxiety that's what everybody is really looking for is how do we get rid of anxiety so what they do these people out here is they create systems to free them from these anxieties they still have anxiety because there's no freedom from anxiety by conditions that are anxious creating conditions in the first place as well as you're in the world you're in a state of anxiety because the world is uncertainty you have economic up turns down turns you have bubbles the bubbles burst people lose jobs there's no nothing there's no security when was there security there's no security right now in this room I'm in tomb you know do you feel secure that Allah can't shake the earth from under you we're in California it's one of the biggest fault lines in the world they've been predicting that this this state's going to fall into the ocean we could have a major tsunami it's not impossible what happened in Indonesia there's no security the only security is with Allah and the only way you secure yourself with Allah is Eman that is why Eman and security are related Eman is from Eman ام انتو بيلا can literally mean in Arabic if you take the literal meaning of the word I made myself secure with God that can be ام انا بيلا I made myself secure with God that is what massage is all about it's about being in a state of security and preparation for the great day of anxiety the day where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety where there's no anxiety حتى Those who do a massage to do the massage up are people who believe in Allah and the last day they have a sense of understanding of where who they belong to and where they're going. Who we belong to not the corporation, not your employee. إذا كان شخص يقول أني لا أستطيع أن أذهب إلى جمع، لماذا؟ لأنه سأنقذ my job. هذا هو أين يقومون بأنهم يقومون بحياتهم. يقومون بحياتهم مع حياتهم. هذا هو أين يقومون بحياتهم. ونحن بخير. أنت قلت بخير. أنت قلت بخير أن تأتي إلى جمع اليوم. أخرى قلت بخير أن تبقى behind their computer journal وأنت تعملون. وأنهم يقومون بخير. وأنهم يقولوا أني أشعر. إنه بخير. إنه بخير. إنه بخير. أخبرني أن أخبرني أننا سنذهب إلى جمع. وإنهم لا يذهب إلى جمع. لأنهم لا تردون أن تضعونهم في حالة where maybe their employer will think about firing them before they fire other people. أنت تقومون بخير. حتى بخير من المساعدة من الشخص إلى المغرب. كل شيء أكثر منك ستأتي. لا يوجد شيء منك. البأر يقول بك. لا يوجد شيء منك. لأنهم لا يقومون منك. كل منكم ست أننتeng لقد خارجنا. كل거 على أن تردون كل منك لذا يريدون على نفسك. لا تتحرك بمشيء ما في فيديوك. المملكة مالذي يتحدث؟ ما تريدون المساعدة؟ ونقل أنهم فلوز الشخص في تحويل هذا السلوك وقل أنهم فلوز الشخص أكثر من أنهم فلوز الشخص فلوز الشخص الذين فلوز الشخص أكثر من أجيب المتاكس في هذا السلوك لذلك ، في أخر العالم ، إنهم فقط يروجون الناس ونريدون أن يروجون ما يكن أنهم لم يكن أعرف ماذا يفعلون أعالما ، محاولاتهم . محاولاتهم نظران في time and famous. فاللو سبحانه وتعنى أعصابuds that those who establish and occupy the houses of God are people who believe in Allah and the last day and established the prayer and prayed as a cat and don't fear anyone that God. They only fear God . They don't fear losing their job. They don't fear this job or the other. They don't fear Tom or Dick or Harry. They only fear Allah. Those are the people that established the houses of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. So the house Allah has called us to a house in this world. In order to prepare for a house in the next world, you build your house من بنا لي بيتم في بنا. من بنا لي اللهي بيتم في بنا. من الله لي بيتم في بنا. If you build a house for God in this world, Allah سبحانه وتعالى will build a house for you in the next world. This is a Hadith of the Prophet ﷺ. That is the Masjid. The Masjid is the place of Sujood. Where is Sujood? It's a state of abject humility before Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Or before a creature. That's why people used to do Sujood. In the old days, when they went into the king, they would go into prostration. There's people that still prostrate to people. And they can do it in other ways than just the physical prostration. So Allah سبحانه وتعالى says, when he told Adam, what do you do to Adam? فسجدوا إلا إبليس. لم يكن من السجدين. إبليس wasn't from the Sahajid. Why? لا مناعك. إذا أمرطوك. What wrong that you don't make Sujood when I told you to make Sujood? أنا خير منه. I'm better than him. وخدقته من بين. He's using logic. You created him, me from fire and air. And you created him from mud and water. I'm better than him. Why should I do Sujood to him? So what stopped him from doing Sujood? أرغم. تكبر. Allah said, in fact, get out because there's no room for kibble in my presence. What does Allah سبحانه وتعالى say? He says, make sajdah and draw near to God. And you come into the presence of God in sajdah because it's sort of humility before Allah سبحانه وتعالى. What is humility in English? In Arabic. In English it comes from a Latin word. همس. همس is earth. Humility is knowing that you are from dust. Humility is knowing your origin. So Allah called people to Sujood in this world. Now in يوم القيامة, Allah سبحانه وتعالى says يوم يكشف وعن ساق. On that day when this momentous affair, when all of humanity is bought before Allah سبحانه وتعالى well you don't want to eat a Sujood. And they're called to make sajdah. خلال استطيعون. They're not able to make sajdah. خاشئةنا بصاره. Their eyes are completely in a state of downcast and utter terror. خاشئةنا بصاره. They're in a total state of humiliation. Not humility. Humiliation because there's a difference between humility and humiliation. If you do not humble yourself before Allah سبحانه وتعالى Allah will humiliate you before His creation. And they're related. Humility, even in English, they're related. Humility and humiliation. وَلِيَنُ عَرْبِتْ means humiliated, but it also means tractable. Like a camel that's... وَلِيَنُ is one that's easy to ride. You see, that's why humiliated people are people that you can just do whatever you want with them because they have no dignity. They've lost their dignity. That's what happens to the arrogant people here. They lose their dignity. What happens to the people of humility here? They're elevated and they're given عزة and dignity before Allah سبحانه وتعالى. That's the difference. So you choose what you're going to do. Here, you choose. You decide who you want to be with. But Allah سبحانه وتعالى says وَقَدْكَانُوا يُدْعَوْنَ إِنَ سُجُودَ وَهُمْ سَانِيْنُ They were called to Sujood when they were well, when they could do it, when they were salimone. They had everything they needed. And Allah said اشتدو Make sajdah before me. 5 times a day. 34 times. If you just do the thought, you're going to go into a state of sajdah before Allah سبحانه وتعالى. And draw near to Allah سبحانه وتعالى. But if you ignore that command of coming to the Masajid, the place of Sujood, the Masajid is Ismar Makhan in Arabic. It's the place that you do something. It is the place that you make Sujood. The place of the Masajid are places of humility before Allah سبحانه وتعالى. It's forgetting about your position in Jinnah. You might be a big engineer. They might call you chief. They might call you high names, wherever you are. They might say yes sir, no sir. You could be out there. There's people in here that are in those positions. You're the big doctor. That's the doctor. What do you think we should do doctor? The nurses. We're making the decisions. But when you enter that door, you're nothing. You stand next to the street sweeper. You stand next to the homeless. You stand next to the most poor people in the community. That's the Masjid. It's a place where nobody knows who's chief and who's not. Because this is the place where Allah knows what's in the hearts. Allah knows what's in your heart. I don't know what's in your heart. I don't know who's arrogant here. I don't know who's fueled with their nafs and their ego. I don't know that. Only Allah knows. That's what this place is about. It's about humility. And that's why when you enter that door, you enter with humility. If you think you can come in here and become arrogant, Wallahi Allah will humiliate you. This is the place of humility. This is the place to learn humility. This is the place to cultivate humility in your heart, so that you can go out in the world in a state of humility. That's what these places are about. Now, I'm just going to end on saying one thing. The Muslims in this country are asleep. There's a deep sleep. We could almost say it's still a coma. Because the thing about coma, I used to work in a critical care unit. And I had coma to those patients. The way we used to test them was to put needles in them. Where you poke them and you see if you get some kind of reaction because if somebody's in a deep coma, there's no reaction. You check their pupils, pupil dilation, these things. When you're in a deep sleep, Allah SWT throws things into your life to wake you up. If you don't respond to those, they just get worse. They get worse and worse. The best thing that can happen to Muslims is tribulation. Really. After 9-11, they suddenly organized thinking about where they're going, what they should be doing. And then now they'll tell all Obama's and everything's better. No more orange suits. They're going to shut down and go on Panama. And then they'll go back to sleep. But there's a benefit in tribulation. But I'll tell you, this is a tribulation. If you don't think this is a tribulation, you don't understand what's going on in this country. We have Muslims all over this country. They're increasing exponentially. We have large families. Three to seven children. Muslims aren't like people now that have one child maybe or no children. They still have three to seven children. I have five children. That's happening all over this country. We're not thinking about where we're going institutionally. You can build, you can rent places to pray, but think about this phenomenon because this is being replicated all over this country. And if we don't seriously start thinking as a community about where we're going, about what we're really supposed to be doing here. Is this really about just getting the American dream, having your home, don't getting your Nexus, driving to your work every day, going home maybe Fajr and Aisha if you're at the highest person that's all it is. A Hasim and Nass and you're going to go home and have a good afternoon. People think they can say I believe and they're not going to be tested. Because if you think that's what this is about, you're in the wrong religion and you're on the wrong planet. I'm going to call you how to stop from the one you work with besides the Muslim. الحمد لله وسلم على سيدنا وحبيبنا رسول الله. إن الله ومرأيك صلونا على النبي نوهن النبينا أمنا وصلو عليه وسلم وتسليمه اللهم صمني وسلم مبارك على سيدنا وحبيبنا محمد وعنا آله وصحابته ومن تبقهم يحسن يحسن إلى المدين اللهم بارك أصحاب رسول الله صلو عليه وسلم اللهم بارك أصحاب رسول الله صلو عليه وسلم وعلى رؤسي من خلفه الرشد من مهديين وضرياته وأزواجه أربط رسول الله صلو الله وعلى رسلم وعلى التابعين وتأهد أحسن إلى يوم الدين اللهم سبحانه وتعالى أمرنا من شبني على رسول الله وأن نبثر من الصرات عليه في هذا اليوم المبارك فصلو عليه وسلم وتسليمه وأكثر من صراته عليه فإن أكثركم صرات عليه أقربه من يوم الناس مديني وشبين على رسول الله في هذه الدنيا يتقرب إليه بهذه الصراف الآخرة اللهم اغفلنا وابفل المسلمين والمسلمات اللهم راموات اللهم وفق المسلمين في مشارقة الأرض ومغاربها اللهم أمان بيوتنا يا الله اللهم أمانبيوتنا من الشر ومن الفساد ومن الفتنة ومن الغصب ومن السريقة اللهم أمانا المسلمين في أوقانهم وفي غير أوقانهم اللهم وقمنا على التقوى اللهم بارك في هذا المكان وفي هذا المصل ورقائم عليه اللهم جعاد في قرب المسلمين اللهم أمّه بين قروبنا يا الله اللهم واحد صفوف المسلمون يا الله لا إله إلا أنت سبحانك اللهم أجعل آخر ما نقول من هذه الدار أشهد ولا إله إلا الله واحده لا شركتك وأشهد أننا سيدنا محمدنا عبدك ورسولك يا الله أجعل هذا في قروبنا يا الله أجعل هذا في قروبنا يا الله الشهابة الشهابة يا الله يا الله أجعل هذا في قروبنا يا الله أمامًا أجعل آخر ما نقول من هذه الدار وحسن خاتمتا يا الله بلا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله اللهم أجعلنا في دائرة هذه الشهادة اللهم أجعلنا في دائірتي وفي حسن حص choosing in her يا الله one Allah that in time when I came اللهم أجعل النبي إiyas Allah مقبنا의 감사합니다 والإلهي لله أنت سبحانك أقود القودي هالو استغفر الماضي ورأيكم رسائر المسلمين فأقوموا صلاة لذكره
