All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
And peace and blessings be upon the
Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
Peace and blessings be upon him.
Peace and blessings be upon him.
Peace and blessings be upon him.
Peace and blessings be upon him.
If it's hot water, it's cold.
No problem.
You make wudu, you come to a masjid, alhamdulillah, the masjid is air conditioned or it is heated
or whatnot.
You're praying on nice carpets.
No hardship.
If you're feeling hungry before you come, eat something and nobody stops you.
Eat something and come.
And that we find difficult.
Imagine.
And about this salah, or any salah, Rasulullah said, the slave is closest to Allah when he
is in sujood.
And he said, when the slave makes sajdah on the farsh, on the earth, he is actually making
sajdah before the throne of Allah .
Before the Arsh of Allah .
This is the guarantee of the Rasul .
So how thankful we should be to Allah for having given us Islam.
And Allah gave it to us.
I know about myself and I don't know about you, but none of us made effort or went through
danger or did something.
Alhamdulillah, we're born in Muslim homes.
Our parents are Muslim, grandparents are Muslim for the last thousand years, God knows.
Right?
So, we should be thankful to Allah.
We should be thankful to Allah.
You can think like the Lord , always in the path of the
Prophet and within ourselves.
And the Healer living in us is a Self, so It is He who gives us tie.
This is what life is about.
I never respond for these things.
So I kept quiet.
And then I said,
why would you want to pray in the toilet?
So she said,
I don't want to pray in the toilet.
But the toilet is the only place where I can pray.
If my parents or my family see that I am praying,
if they see I am a Muslim,
they will kill me.
So I pretend to go to the toilet.
That is the only place I have to pray.
What shall I do?
What fatwa will you give for this?
People go through such difficulties.
I am not exaggerating.
People go through such difficulties and more.
We know the Sahaba.
We know what all the Sahaba went through.
That's a different thing.
I am talking about today.
In today's world,
the kinds of difficulties that people go through
in order to become Muslim
and they are still firm on this.
They are still firm on this.
Alhamdulillah for us,
we are to do nothing.
And you say,
pray five times a day,
we cannot do it.
May Allah have mercy on us.
Eat halal, earn halal.
No.
Has to be some,
some mixture has to be there.
Hmm?
So let us value this.
So badi chaise.
First, value this religion.
That's it.
Alhamdulillah, just think about it.
This religion came to us
because of the sacrifices of people
who are far, far, far superior to us.
The Sahaba of Prophet Muhammad , what is the comparison of the Sahabi to us?
We are not even, our position and darja with Allah is only because of Islam.
Otherwise, in terms of darja compared to the Sahabi, we are not even, at least I'm talking
about myself, I don't even consider myself to be equal to the dust on the hoof of the
donkey of the Sahabi.
But Allah has given a position where you do imamat and you do khitabat and you stand
in these masjids and you talk about the greatness of Allah .
On what basis?
On what basis?
Only because Allah has put a cover over my faults and over my weaknesses and over my
sins that you don't see it.
You say, oh Mashallah, Mashallah, Yaver Bhai, we love you.
If Allah had removed that cover.
That's why Imam Shafi'i said, if somebody praises you, remember, he's not praising
you, he's praising the cover that Allah has put over you.
He can only see that.
He's only seeing the cover that Allah put over you.
So he's praising you.
Oh Mashallah, Mashallah.
Mashallah who?
Me?
No.
It is Sattari of Allah.
Sattaru Rayub Ghaffaru Dhunu.
That's it.
That's it.
I'm saying it.
I'm saying it, I'm saying it.
I'm saying it.
See that?
