 والله الذي يتيبون حين أناديه ويسترع لي كل عورة مهلا عصيه ويعظم النعمة علي فلا اجازيه نحمده ونسبحه ونقدسه على ألائه ونعمائه ونشدوا الله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له إلاهم واحداً أحداً فرداً صنداً قيوماً لؤمن له بالروبوبية ورقره له بالروبودية من يحدي الله فهو المحتدي ومن يضل الفلا تجد له ولياً مرشد ونشدوا أن سيدنا بحمد عبده ورسوله وارسله بالبداء ودين الحدر يهره على الدين كله الله مصلي وسلم وبارك وترحب على محمد وآل محمد كأوضر ما صليت وسلمت وبارك وترحمت على إبراهيم وآل إبراهيم في العالمين إنك حميد مجيد صلى الله عليه وسلم على جميع الأنبياء والمرسلين والأوسياء والصديقين وعطوة نبيك الطيبين الطاهرين المعصومين والخلص من أصحابه المنتجبين ومن تبعهم بإحسان وإيمان إلى يوم الدين عباد الله ووصيكم ووصي نفسي بتقوى الله ولوزوم أمره اسم الله الرحمن الرحيم على الفلا مليم أحسب الناس أن يتركوا أن يقولوا آمنا وهم لا يفتنون ولقد فتنى الذين من قبلهم فليعلمن الله الذين صدقوا وليعلمن كاذبين صلى الله عليه وعليه وعليه كل المسجد ومسجدون يأتيون إلى المنطقة لذلك الناس يجب أن يمتلوا وإمتحوا وإنفقوا وإنفقوا لم يكن إرادة لإنفق هذه المسجد على الناس لم يكن إرادة لإنفق الناس أن يفتنون هذه المسجد الله سبحانه وتعالى يريدون الناس أن يفتنون هذه المسجد ومسجدون هذه المسجد ومسجدون هذه المسجد ومسجدون هذه المسجد ومسجدون هذه المسجد لأن there is no value in a faith that you don't believe in it There is no value There is no value following a faith or a school of thought that you don't understand it There is no value and probably there is no reward in that too Faith and faith or the school of thought the manhub has to be understood and has to be loved and embraced and followed Therefore, Allah says in many places in his book لا إكراه في الدينة but تبين الرشد من الغي We don't force people to follow Why? Because the right path is obvious and the wrong path is obvious too but we have distinguished We made them distinct from one another The right path is very obvious People know it, this is the right path The wrong path is also very obvious So we don't force people to follow We want them to use their brain and their reason We do not want them to follow by force Neither we want them to follow blindly out of sheer emotions We need them to use their brain in following their faith وقل الحق وقل الحق من ربكم فمن شاءة فاليقمن ومن شاءة فاليقفر الله is saying the truth If you want to accept the truth اهل المسهل You are most welcome And if you want to reject the truth also اهل المسهل But you have to pay the price There is a price for it Your rejection has a price And you will see the price on that day Therefore ايمان and faith has two ways And two connectors And two parts One of them is رخبة إلهية في الهدى الله desires to guide people to save people, to teach them The desire of God The will of God انك لا تهدي من أحبت No one came to religion by accident No one You may go to a restaurant by accident To the beach by accident To the movie theater by accident To the party, but not to mosque Going to the mosque is by design, not by accident انك لا تهدي من أحبت ولكن الله يهدي من الشر It's by invitation Coming to religion is by invitation only By invitation only By the invitation that comes from God For some reasons Sometimes we don't know the reasons God invites this brother But he does not invite his own brother In the same house One of them goes to the mosque To religion To guidance The other rejects Why? What's the reason? We don't know Sometimes the reason is hidden Sometimes we know it Sometimes we don't know it There are some reasons That are unseen We don't see them Neither we understand them But it is by invitation When people go to religion Definitely it is by invitation From God This is one part One part of it by invitation The second part By our acceptance We receive invitations Sometimes we decline Sometimes we say I accept I push that bottle I accept Sometimes I decline We receive invitations Some people do receive it from God God send the invitation But some people they decline So maybe someone says Why God sent an invitation to this But he didn't send it to me Allah says I send it I send it to all of you Some of you see it You make note of it Like the emails that we receive And the email that I like I read it Sometimes the one I like I pretend that I have not seen it It goes to the junk Because I don't like it I don't like to open it Sometimes this is how we treat God Some people they open his invitation They take care of it They respond to it Some people they send it Someone else They don't want to see it So two parts for guidance Requires two elements One invitation from God Second acceptance from us Willingness Inclination from us To accept this invitation If we don't accept it We cannot be guided Allah تعالى يقول الإيمان والهداية لها طرفان طرفان دعوة مني وقبود من العبط It has two parts One from me I send the invitation A second acceptance And readiness And a preparedness From the servant As to accept And say yes I'm willing to come along I'm willing to follow up To follow what you are telling me And therefore Some people ask Why we have delay in the reappearance And the return of our twelve الإيمان الإيمان والمهدي عجل الله تعالى فرج The same reason For his delay Because there is a condition Allah has put a condition For the return of the Imam Many conditions The most important one Us Being ready to receive him Being ready to serve him Being ready to accept the truth And the justice that he brought And he will bring to that community To worldwide Some people are not ready Some people say The return of the Imam Is too much for me Too much I'm not ready for it It's a big responsibility for me I can't take it When the community cannot take it It's not ready for it The Imam is not going to waste his time Neither God is going to waste His effort in sending him Because God wants to send him When people are receiving him Co-operating with him Helping him The Imam alone Cannot do anything He needs the community All the prophets The best prophet The best servant of God In Makkah He could not do anything Because the community The Makkahs They rejected it Thirteen years in Makkah The ten years in Medina A shorter period In Makkah He could not do anything God said Leave Makkah That's right Leave You did 13 years here Don't waste your time anymore Go to a community To a fertile land A community that understands you Respects you Is willing To cooperate with you Is willing to accept you It's ready to accept you And sacrifice for you Allah gave him permission To leave Makkah To Medina In Medina He was able to establish his Masjid In Makkah He could not establish a Masjid He could not give a lecture He could not preach As I mentioned last night The answer was rocking him Throwing rocks Of the prophet Same thing with other prophets نوح عليه الصلاة قال روح نوح ربي إنهم أدعصوني They disobeyed me They rejected me أعوماً لن يزيدهمانه ووالاته إلا خسارا They followed someone That his children and his wealth Never increased him But in misguidance They followed the people of Dunya They left me alone They rejected me They could not do anything نوح worked very hard He was not lazy 950 years According to the Qur'an ولم يتفي قومه ألف سنة إلا خبسين عام But they did not respond to him So the invitation came from God But the acceptance did not come from them The same thing we have with our last Imam The Imam Al-Mahdi عجل الله و تعالى فالجن The most important condition For his reappearance is us Our readiness is the preparation Are we ready? Because it's not a joke The state of the Imam The government of the Imam Is serious government Requires men Men who are committed to justice To truth Men who are committed to follow The instructions of God Men who are not hypocrite anymore Men and women who do not think Of their own narrow interests And put their interests above others Such people do not help the Imam God waits for the moment That we say إلهي we are ready Where is this? This is in the Qur'an إن الله لا يغير ما بقومه حتى يغير ما بأنفسه You change yourself We change the conditions We change your state You begin You initiate the change yourself And according to the Ahadith One of the reasons that delays The reappearance of the Imam Our sins Our misbehavior Our misconduct Our suspicion of each other Our unwillingness to cooperate with each other To respect each other To help each other To help our communities This is one of the reasons That the Imam has been delayed When we are ready to accept the truth And change ourselves Some people think It's only through دعاء دعاء alone does not work دعاء has to be always Join with عمل At دعاء والعمل At دعاء والعمل Always دعاء is an act of heart Comes from your heart and your mouth But then your lips Has to follow Has to match the heart If the lips do not match the heart This دعاء is useless Does not work We have to change ourselves Our characters Our personalities Our families We have to work hard On changing our families Preparing them Being the near soldiers of Islam Being ready to receive the Imam If Imam comes to our communities I ask this question If he comes to our homes If we want to host him Would he be happy When he enters our homes Our homes are Islamic environment He would be happy He would be glad He would say الحمد لله You did well You, your wife Your children Your daughter is good Your son is good Your house is good Your community is good Our massage Are really They can receive him In good condition Good moral Not just physical Moral condition We help each other In our community We help each other We come to the rescue Of each other We have to ask this question If we think yes We are ready Allah will send him But we have a long way to go A long way to go Allah says We give This last government Only to the righteous Because there is no room For corrupt people anymore The world is fed up With corrupt إن الأرض يارثها وَلَقَدْةَ إن الأرض يارثها وَلَقَدْةَ كتبنا في الزبور من بعد الثقري إن الأرض يارثها إباديا صالحون The righteous Only the righteous can inherit this land And the government of this land And be in charge They're not righteous They have no room in this government So we have to be prepared For his arrival We have to be ready By changing ourselves Some people think my connection to the Imam Is I see him in the dream No, they changed the Imam Al-Mahdi Into dreams Only dreams For whom I saw him in this dream For whom I dream For whom I dream For whom I dream For whom I dream Is a reality It's not a dream It's not fiction You could see him You could see him You don't have to be Marjah At-Taklit Sitting in this city or that city Maybe Marjah At-Taklit Would never be able to see him But you are an ordinary person Who has a pure heart When you have a pure heart This is the best connection To the Imam This is the best connection To the Prophet This is the best connection To Allah Pure heart Niya Tun Salima Pure intention You can get connected with him And it does not have to be in the dream It could be in reality When we live up to the responsibility When we raise ourselves To that level Of commitment You can see the Imam It's not difficult It's not impossible It's not a third party You can see the Imam Allah made the Imam As an agent of a blessing And Rahman For all mankind You don't have to live in that city Some people think that If I go to Masjid Jankeran To Masjid Sahlat To Masjid Al-Fulamid I see the Imam And they go on Go on They don't see It's not about the space My friend It's about here The heart Even if you are in Las Vegas That your heart is a clean You can see the Imam You can see him anywhere It's not about the place Or the space Or the city Or the street It's about the heart It's about the intention Once we change the intention The heart becomes a pure And dedicated To Allah To our religion To our Islam Imam will come to you You don't have to go to him He'll come to you Allah made all the imams The prophets The apostles The messengers Servants To the people They came to serve They came to guide So once they see The pure heart They go to it بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم اللهم كل وليك الحجة ابن الحسن صلواتك عليك وعلى أبائح بهذه الساعة وفي كل ساعة وليا وحافظة وقائدا وناصرة ودليلا وعينة حتى تسكنه أرضك طوع وتمتعه فيها طويل بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعصر إن الإنسان لفي خسر إلا الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات وتواصلوا بالحق وتواصلوا بالصر وسلم على سيدنا محمد وأهل فيتن الطيبين الطاهنين
