 إن الحمد لله نحمده ونستعينه ونستوفعه ونعود بالله من شرور أنفسنا ومن سيات عمالنا من يهده لا فلا مدللا ومن يدل فلا هادلة واشل والله إله إلا الله وحده لا شرك له واشلوا أننا سيدنا وحبيبنا مولانا سيدنا محملنا عبده ورسوله خير نبي اجتباه قدال العالمين أرسله أرسله وابدين الحق ليده على دين كل ولو كريه الكافرون اللهم صلي وسلم بارك على سيدنا محمد وعلى آله وأزواجه مبورية وخابط وتابرين وتابرين بإحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بار ربال الله وذكركم إيايا بتقل الله سبحانه وتعالى وذكركم بقوله سبحانه وتعالى في القرآن كريم حيث يقول يا أيها الذين أمروا بتقل الله حق تقاته ولا تموتن إلا وانتو مسلمون وذكركم إيايا للخبذ القرآن كريم بسون جسيل المحمد صلى الله عليه وعاله وصحبه وسلم السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته الحمد لله نرى الله سبحانه وتعالى للمساعدة وخبزاتنا وخبزاتنا وخبزاتنا بكل ما نرى في العالم الحمد لله وكل ما نرى في هذه المنطقة نقول الحمد لله وخبزاتنا وخبزاتنا أنا أحب أن أخذ هذا الحمد لله وخبزاتنا للمساعدة أنا وكل أن يرى سبيل المهم اليوم الله سبحانه وتعالى يقول في القرآن وخبزاتنا وخبزاتنا وخبزاتنا لأنه للمساعدة للمساعدة ربما بشكل ما نرى وكذلك في حديثنا لقد قمنا برأينا قبل وإذا كان الله سبحانه وتعالى يجب علينا to have greater efficiency in those things in Lassman Al-Da'ala one of the things that we say in the modern times is that time is gold how every time in Islam is more than gold or any precious material thing in this world because our deen guides us not only to the importance of time but also how we value it and the Allah سبحانه وتعالى and the Prophet ﷺ are very clear in telling us of the value of time that we basically wasted and we know this there's a Hadith in which the Prophet ﷺ talks about where he says the Prophet ﷺ says in a Hadith very concise but he says that there are two blessings which many people lose they're health and they're time for doing good deeds so what I want to do in our time right now is just list 10 things that each one of them takes less than 10 minutes to complete during a day but in my opinion can greatly enhance our spiritual life and our spiritual relationship with Allah سبحانه وتعالى maybe this khutba or what I want to share with you right now is taking a different or is more important to me right now I'll share this with you in that this year has been close out this year 2017 has been a year where three very close people died that were in my life and some other things that have happened so it's really put me into this state of reflecting as I get older my eyesight gets worse and there are more gray hairs in the beard but I really now understand the reality of this journey as my friend said that we're on the back nine now for talking about golf and 18 holes we're on the back nine now we're not on the front nine and it seems like just yesterday we were 20 years old running around with all the energy in the world and all the dreams in the world but in reality we're moving closer to this time with Allah سبحانه وتعالى so this 10 list of things if we truly understand the happiness that these things bring in our life in the next we would spend and dedicate our time to these things so this list is in somewhat of an order but I'm not saying that it is in this order as in you should do them in this way but I placed them in this order the first thing I want to remind you of something that takes less than 10 minutes in a day إن شاء الله it brings immense benefit is the Salat al-Tuhal something that I feel is overlooked as we know it's an optional Salat that the Prophet ﷺ advised the Sahaba to perform between the sunrise and the Salat al-Buhr we can get into the Fiqh of it at another time but really just to look at the Prophet ﷺ he narrates that the Prophet ﷺ he says that the Prophet ﷺ has advised me in three things one that I fast three days in every month and two that I pray two raka'ats of al-Tuhal two raka'ats two raka'ats and the third is that I pray my winter before sleeping this is narrated by Bukhari and Muslim in this translation so if we look at that for a moment and I'm sure that in any gathering if we put our hands up right now and said who would like to go to Umrah right now who would like to go to Hajj this year everyone would raise their hand in the room and then what if I said that who would want that Hajj how would you like to know if that Hajj was accepted and that Umrah was accepted by Allah ﷺ and then we would all feel Masha'Allah that it would known that it would be accepted the Prophet ﷺ talks about the Salat al-Tuhal and he says in the Hadith that whoever prays the Fajr and then sits in the place of prayer remembering Allah ﷺ until the sun rise and then prays two raka'ats that he shall be rewarded of praying a Hajj and an Umrah and he said with a complete reward time, time, time he said three times so imagine now imagine that we said each morning that we have the opportunity we believed each morning that we have the opportunity to make a Hajj and an Umrah accepted by Allah ﷺ not the Hajj and Umrah that will fulfill the obligation of the obligatory but in terms of its reward that each day as we said just ten minutes that was just in Minneapolis last weekend and one of the parents asked we were talking about the Seerah and she said to me she said you know which Seerah book should we be reading with our students and I said I'm sorry I just have to be real frank with you I said I don't think it's a question about what book that we need to read we know all the books that we should be reading to it we have all the books that we should be reading what Imam Zaid's advice was he said the best book that you can teach your kids going to be the one that you read cover to cover that's going to be the best book that you can read but my point of what I want to say is that it's not something that we do it's about having the courage and consistency and the discipline to do this thing over and over and over again there are other aspects in our life there are certain things that we will never miss we won't miss the car payment we won't miss these types of things we won't miss certain things that are happening checking our emails doing all these types of things where does that fall on the list and as I said just the other day I could play basketball for eight ten hours at a time without stopping while I'm even thinking hang out to all hours in the night so that we can do it all over again but that seemed like just like yesterday and now as I get to this age where I'm burying my friends and I have to look in the mirror and understand that this journey is for real and I'm going to meet Allah سبحانه وتعالى at the time that I have no idea when it will happen then these realities become first and foremost may Allah be with us in the opening the second one is making the second one is making and Alhamdulillah this community here lives now this community Alhamdulillah puts that first and foremost in their gathering so Alhamdulillah you understand that it's a divine command from Allah سبحانه وتعالى يَا أَيُهَا لَذِينَ أَا مَنُوا أَيُبَا عَبَاسُ رَيْلَا وَعَنُوا He said that anytime يَا أِيُونَا نَاسَ يَا أِيُونَا عَمَرِ was mentioned He said that He took it as if Allah سبحانه وتعالى was speaking to Him directly and Allah سبحانه وتعالى was telling me that يَا إِبِنَ عَبَاسُ صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَّلِّي مُتَسْلِينَ عَلَيْهِ so Alhamdulillah may Allah give us this now I'm talking about this in terms of about our free time our good health and our free time not that you know Masha Allah asking to give up vacation not to do those things but just that we have intentionality in these moments that we have driving our children back and forth really taking advantage of these times really taking advantage of these opportunities that maybe just before dinner or just after dinner or these types of things that maybe this is a time that we can just sit down and be intentional about this so it doesn't slip us by and another day goes by and we say yeah we'll do it again and we'll do it again and we'll do it again and that time never comes and then the ender of time comes and we don't know what that is I don't say this to be morbid but I say it to be real and I say it also in a manner that if we understood that reality of the ender of time that it would enhance our relationship with every single person inside that we have contact with because imagine if I didn't know if I'm going to see you again imagine I didn't know that I'm going to see my wife or my children when I leave the house what will my relationship with them be all of the frivolous things that have happened and me being upset at her I will have to call her immediately and say if I knew that this reality was that it's going to end at some time soon and this could be the last time that I leave the house that it doesn't matter what she said to me that I didn't like and I would call and say that thing that you said that it upset me means nothing to me so this idea about establishing this the prophesies I'm telling us to remember death is not just to remember death yes for us that we are going to meet and also it can enhance our relationships right now with those that we love and those that are close to us so Alhamdulillah we talked about that here this Salawat and the Prophet say Salam and then the Prophet say Salam I'm saying to one of the companions that if you made all of your do'a all of your supplication with Salawat on me then your concerns will be taken care of by Allah SWT and your sins will be forgiven not that we would never make do'a for us because he saw someone taught us to be making do'a for ourselves because he did that himself but just this is one of the things that he talked to one of his companions in that way so even just to constantly be in that and we should think about this when we talk about أخلاق with our children this was عمو تريف that mentioned this to me the last time that we were together and I think it's very beautiful if we can think about it in this way we talk about أخلاق and Adam for our children but the Prophet said that two people will be like this with me on يوم القيام the one who makes an abundance of salutations on me and those who have beautiful أخلاق so we should be teaching our children that it's not because I'm telling you that you should have beautiful أخلاق but because you want to be with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم on يوم القيام and this is one of the avenues in which you will achieve that صلى الله عليه وسلم on يوم القيام it shifts the whole paradigm because now the onus is on you here's your ticket here's your ticket to have proximity to the best of creation on يوم القيام the scholar the poet has said محمدون ذكره روحوني أنفوسينا beautiful but the remembrance of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم brings a rest to our souls روحون it's the same word that is used for ترويح it's the same root word روحون right ترويح is that salat that brings us rest the restful prayer after fasting ترويح محمدون ذكره روحوني أنفوسينا right to make salutations on the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is a rest and it's brings respite for our soul in knowing that the one who makes one salatation the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم that Allah will make ten on you beautiful story أبو حسن إن شاء الله one of the great scholars of the Ummah he said that I was traveling between cities one night and I was concerned of the the the the the animals of prey that were living in this area I was concerned for my well-being this is in his biography he writes this and he said I remembered من صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم but the one who sends one salutation upon me Allah will send ten on him and what is this salutation that Allah will send رحمة and سكينة and mercy upon you he said so I remained the whole night sending صلى الله عليه وسلم and he said it was one of the most safest times that I had felt and Alhamdulillah he activated this he put it into practice he said and then I prayed my father that I woke up and I began walking the sun was up and he said there was a rustling by a bush and I jumped out of fear and out a little a little a little sparrow walked out from the bush and then he says to himself blaming his nofs he says oh nofs you spent the whole night relying upon الله سبحانه وتعالى and you did not fear the animals of prey as soon as the sun came up you forgot الله سبحانه وتعالى and you relied upon yourself and Allah put the fear in your heart from a little sparrow that's the difference of relying upon الله سبحانه وتعالى and relying upon ourselves reading the Qur'an reflecting on its meanings reading the Qur'an reflecting upon its meanings تفكر literally meaning to think deeply systematically and in great detail Alhamdulillah we don't have to make a pattern of the Qur'an if that's what we don't have for that if we only have the hemma to read one ayah read that one ayah but understand that ayah there's so much now we're talking about this the other day talking to someone I'd say two in the other day about how when they became Muslim when I talk about when I became Muslim all of these translations these things didn't exist these books were not there now it's here take that one ayah understand it live it and try to implement it and try to live it the scholars have said it's through the reflection that the universe becomes a book to study through the Qur'an and the verses of the Qur'an disclose their deeper meanings and secrets more clearly without reflection the heart is darkened the spirit is exasperated and Islam is lived at such a superficial level that is devoid of meaning and understanding so this idea that we need تفكر and تدبر contemplation and reflection on these things that we're meaning and on these things we're making Allah's Cliff in that again, just something that we want to say just 10 minutes just 10 minutes if we can commit to that just 10 minutes saying سبحان الله right how far Allah is from imperfection because really when we say صبحصى ربك الأعلى in the verse when you look at the تفسير the ayah it's that to show that Allah is free of any faults or any type كدتا فيه 300 سنة و سنة واحدة ستقوم بكله و سنة واحدة سنة سينت will be wiped from his record This is Sahih Musleh A thousand rewards given or a thousand sins wiped out from our record Just for a hundred times of things This is that idea of when Allah سبحانه وتعالى That when we take one step towards Allah when we come a handspan that he comes in our length to you و أنه عندما تقوم باستخدامه و أنه يقوم باستخدامك مالذي يعني هو أنه مالذي تقوم باستخدامه مالذي تقوم باستخدامه ليس مالذي تقوم باستخدامه هذا هو الجنرسي of سبحانه وتعالى والله سبحانه وتعالى الذي هو الانكينين the most generous now we can think about all of these things that are happening in this world of what we're seeing now the decision that was made with regard to Jerusalem and the issue that's happening in Libya and happening all of it what can I do right now living in my living room other than make dua and perhaps other things I can engage in other ways yes I can but I'm saying in truth and tender what I want to say here is that sometimes these things come and they distract us from doing the simple things right here that bring us closer to Allah سبحانه وتعالى and we lose our focus on this not to say that those things are not important absolutely and yes we can write our senators and we can engage in that way and Alhamdulillah I am saying that we should be doing those things but what I'm saying is that just doing those things and leaving this off this is a loss for us because at the end of the day these things will echo in eternity and perhaps that coming and going if we don't have a Nia for that that correct Nia I want to be the problem solver I want people to understand that I'm the one who cares about things but in actuality it's really for my nafs and for my evil if we don't have the right Nia on that then maybe those things are just هباء من ثورة but just this dust that flies around in the wind it has no wake on our يوم القيام may Allah save us from that this other point play with our children for the sake of Allah سبحانه وتعالى جابر when he narrates that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ he says that we are on our way for an invitation and we passed by Hussein and he was in the alley with some of the children of the Ansar and the Prophet ﷺ hasten he ran after and Hussein imagine this for a moment just create a visual picture of who your Prophet ﷺ is he runs after Hussein Hussein is running through the streets away from the Prophet ﷺ it says that he's yelling and screaming the Prophet ﷺ grabs him the Prophet ﷺ pulls him close puts his head on his chin his head on his head and kisses him and kisses him and kisses him and hugs him and holds him close this is our Prophet ﷺ this is the one who has been sent رحمة للعالمين this is the one who is sent إِنَّا بُعِتُ مُعَلِمَا وَإِنَّا بُعِتُ لِيَتُ مِكَارِمَا لَخْلَا this is the one who is sent as a teaching I've only been sent as a teaching he's doing this الحمي الله to show his love for his family no doubt but he's also doing it that today you and I will sit here knowing that this is a teacher who has taught us how to love our children اللهم أعلم صلى الله عليه وسلم ورحمة الله ورحمة الله ورحمة الله ورحمة الله صلى الله عليه وسلم so all of the filth and all of the dirt and all of the things that people want to say is because they don't know who is their حبيب they don't know who is there the one who actually cares about them who will say أمتي أمتي and as a scholar seven everyone is from the Ummah of Muhammad ﷺ who was born after this Ba'ath who was born after time and it's whether they acknowledge it or they do not but his concern is for his Ummah مكتو أعى often during times of ease مكتو أعى often during times of ease the Prophet ﷺ said whoever makes whoever it pleases that Allah ﷻ answer his supplication during times of calamity and hardship let him increase his supplication amidst the times of ease do we only call upon Allah ﷻ when we feel that we need him right how about when the cabinets are full and the lights are on and everything is good in my life do I remember Allah ﷻ because the reality is الحمد الله في كلها not at حمد الله when there is hardship in my life and now I want to turn to Allah ﷻ that's called a fair with a friend right only come around when I need something ما شاء الله I haven't seen you for a while but I'm not how you do ما شاء الله حمد الله yeah you got that done right حمد الله we can be that person but how about if with that person ما شاء الله do you need something being proactive when all of it is good أقول لكل حال سقه لكم سامة والبنية وفهم كثير كما أمر مشروع إلى إله لله وشروع أنه سيدنا محمد العبد ورسوله ورعب الله وذكركم يتقل الله سبحانه وعليه وذكركم يقول لي سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم هيف يقول في الحديف اتقل الله هيف ما كنته وذكركم بشرفة مكان مصطفة صلى الله عليه وسلم حيث يقول الله سبحانه وعليه في القرآن كريم إن الله وملائكة هو يصلون على النبي يا أيها الذين آمنوا صلوا عليه وسلموا تسليم الله بمصلي وسلم بارك على سيد محمد وعليه سيد محمد كما برقته وصليت على سيد إبراهين وعليه سيد إبراهين إنك أنت حميد ومجيد سبحانه وعليه الحمد لله فقط الثلاث هنا بعض أخرى يجب أن أخبرهم وخبروا أمك أو أحد أخرى who fulfills the rights أو أحد أخرى who close relatives يخبرونهم أننا أحبهمهم لأنه أنه the one who fulfills the rights and the ties of family is not the one who does good when family members do good and bad when they are bad but rather the the one when family members cut them off he does good to them This is the the one who fulfills the rights of family members who close relatives to want good for those people who are even being harmful towards you this level of Imam but we have that example there from our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم الحمد لله رض العالمين a few other things just take a few minutes to stop and contemplate and listen to Allah's amazing creation from our eyes our ability to speak from our entire body and from all of this world around us الله سبحانه وتعالى says in Quran وَفِلْ عَرْدِ وَفِلْ عَرْدِ آيَاتُمْ لِلْمُوْقِنِينْ وَفِيْ أَنْفُوسِكُمْ أَفَلَاتُ وَالْسِرَانَ الله puts this ritual we'll question out there to us and on the earth are signs for those who are certain those who have yakin and in yourselves he says فِلْ عَرْدِ آيَاتُمْ وَفِيْ أَنْفُوسِكُمْ right لِلْمُوْقِنِينْ may Allah make us of those people of yakin that when we look around our iman is increased Al-Hamdulillah وَفِلْ عَرْدِ أَلَمِينْ just in closing here just I'll mention these last two about Al-Hamdulillah sharing food with people Al-Habdullilah we do a great job outside of Ramadan May Allah allow us to follow that prophet Iqsunnah I'm sorry in Ramadan may Allah allow us to follow that prophet Iqsunnah outside of Ramadan the Prophet 좋아요 لكن إذا كتبت أي شيء وكتبت أبو بار، يجب أن تأكد أبو بار وكتبت أبو بار وكتبت أبو بار وكتبت أبو بار هذا هو مصلم لكن الحديث الذي أشعر بالنسبة لأبو بار يقول يا يوهن ناس، عندما يأتي إلى مدينة، هذا هو المسلم الذي يجبه إلى المسلم يقول يا يوهن ناس، أفشو السلام، أقرق وعام، وصل أرحام وصل لليل وناس ونيان الممسلم أنه عندما يأتي إلى مدينة، كل ما يخبره أنه يجب أن تتبع الناس يدفع السلام، يدفع الناس اضيفونا الناس الان بلد، ويصبح نفس المرد هذا هو عندما يأتي إلى العشرة والله وعنا، يسألوا عن التشكير إيه الله ورحمه إيه الله، وكتبت أبو بار وكتبت بار وكتبت أبو بار قاله أدوامها وقلها قاله الهيئ الذي يفعله أبو بار وكتبت بار وكتبت أبو بار فهذا هو one which is done habitually even if it is small and Ibn Ta'ala talks about this idea that you should know that if you're doing something for the sake of Allah small is not a word that you can use. There is no reality of small when something is done for the sake of Allah. The last one that I'll mention here, this last one here is to make dua'a for your brother or sister in their absence. The false Islam said that if a person prays for his or her brother in their absence without them knowing it an angel hears the dua'a and replies ameen and may Allah give you the same. May Allah give you the same. And it's narrated that some of the صحابة and the تبيعين that when they wanted something that they would make dua'a for someone else to have that thing having يقيم, having full belief that an angel is saying for them ameen and for you the same. بل الله من يدخل حدي أمتي محمدية وهافقنا كل اخي. بل من يدرى ذلك فخذوا أقل عزيز مقتل يا رب العالمين. انك علي كل شيء جديو الحمد الجديد. اللهم افتع عليها فتوها عالفين. ما فهم توفية الصالحين. وفعلون اللهم القرآن الكريم. اللهم اقربنا باتلاجة كتابكة آلة لوأطرافناها يا رب العالمين. اللهم أصبح مسلمين في فلسطين.
