First Sermon
It is obligatory to believe in the
prophets
of Allah
A prophet who is not a Messenger does not receive new laws
Every Prophet is obligated to convey the message
The first Messenger that was sent to the blasphemers was
Noah
(PBUH)
The consensus of the scholars agree that
Adam
was the first prophet
Whoever disagrees with that is a disbeliever
NO prophet ever lied, before and after they received prophethood
It is obligatory to believe that
Also among their attributes is intelligence
Vileness is impossible to be among their attributes
And the prohets are not attributed with stupidity
It is impossible for them to have a slip of the tongue in religious matters and worldly matters
They are attributed with natural fear
Like fleeing from a big snake
That is natural for them to fear that
They are not attributed with cowardice
A sin that shows low character is like stealing one grape
It is possible for them to fall into a small sin that does not show a low character
If this small sin does happen they repent immediately
So no one can follow them
When our master
Ibrahim
saw a star he said "this is my Lord"
When it went away he said "I don't like those things that go away"
Second Sermon
We seek His forgiveness, His help and His guidance
Worshipping Allah occurs after knowing Allah
Knowing what befits Him
The believer/Muslim knows his Lord
He knows his Lord by knowing the attributes of Allah
Our perception is limited
We can never know Allah's reality
Knowing Allah takes precedence over any act of worship
Whoever knows Allah will fear Him
Learn about Allah and fear Him
The worship occurs after one knows Allah
The ones who truly fear Allah are the knowledgable ones
13 attributes are an obligation to know
These attributes of Allah are not attributes of the creation
The word is the same but the meaning is different
Anything other than Allah is a creation
He created the creations with His
Will
and His
Knowledge
Everything other than Allah is a creation
He is not annihilated ever
The self of Allah is everlasting
His attributes are without a how
It is not like the sight of the creation
The creations need instruments or organs
It is an attribute of Allah that is eternal and everlasting
Your speech and my speech consists of letters
He is clear of resembling the creations
He specifies the creations with attributes
He wills for the creations to exist at one time
His
Will
does not have a beginning and it does not change
He knows all
Nothing is hidden from His
Knowledge
It is not like the life of the creations
Allah is the only Creator
No partner in His self
Anything that is in need is weak
The Creator does not resemble the one who does not create
This is how the slave of Allah knows about his Lord
The one who says that Allah does not exist is saying that the universe does not exist
The one who believes in the opposite of them does
not
believe in what Allah has revealed in the Holy Qur'an
Jummah Class
We are still in the blessed days of Ramadan
There is still an opportunity to acquire a lot of knowledge in these blessed days
We remind you of the lessons that occur on a daily basis in this Musalla
It is an obligation on the accountable Muslim
When we say "Muslim" we mean someone who believes in Allah and His Messenger
All the good deeds that a Muslim does is never lost
The prayer is not an obligation on the blasphemer
If he does not pray, on Judgement Day he will be punished for not praying
Rather the person will be held accountable and he will be judged
It is revealed in the Qur'an that the angels would ask the blasphemers "what brought you here"?
They will reply "we did not believe in Allah and we did not pray"
They are able to pray and they did not pray
When the child reaches seven lunar years of age it is an obligation on the guardian to order him to pray
After teaching them how to pray
He teaches him the prayer he teaches him the prayer he teaches him
Wudu
The guardian they have to order the child
If the child gets used to that he will be happier when he is pubescent
He will order the child in a way that the child knows that this is a serious thing
He's not allowed to hit him in a way that harms him
The Prophet(PBUH) is a mercy to the creations
It is not a type of hitting that is abuse, he is not allowed to hit him in the face
If that child is neglected on Judgement Day he will say "O Allah punish my parents for neglecting me"
This is in contrast to the fasting
The woman has to make up her fasting if she is in her post-partum bleeding
The person they're not allowed to pray beyond the time or before
If the person is very sick that is an excuse
The prayer is not valid unless the person makes
Wudu
Wudu
is a condition for the validity of the prayer
The Wudu is not specified only to the nation of Prophet Muhammad
The number of prayers differ
Previous nations had to make Wudu
There is a special thing in the Wudu that is only specific to us
The extra parts will be illuminated on judgement Day
From the nation of Prophet Muhammad
There are great blessings in the Wudu
There is a blessing if the person stays on Wudu
An angel stays with you throughout the night
This angel is a highly righteous Muslim, a Wali
Who among us is free of sins?
The Muslim if he does Wudu the right way then the sins that he committed with those body parts will be washed away
If he does Wudu he will be energized
Wudu is an act of worship
Wudu has to have an intention, just like any other act of worship
From the normal hairline to the chin
They have to make sure they cover their entire face
The proper Wudu is a condition for the validity of the prayer
If he has a thick beard he has to wash the outside
It also occurs from adults too
If his
Wudu
is not valid then his prayer is not valid
The best is to start with the right
Even if he washes one strand of hair it would be enough
To make Wudu you don't need a lot of water
The person has to be careful not to waste water
As long as the water is flowing that's enough
The integrals of Wudu are six
The sunnahs are extra blessings
The inside and outside of the ears
In between his fingers and foot
If the person does all of that than his sins will be erased
Did we know that it had all these merits?
If we wanted to talk more about Wudu this session will not be enough
For a non-believer to make Dua is permissible
Beware of the supplication of the one who is oppressed
It is answered by Allah even from a non-believer, but he does not get any reward
If he knowingly prays without Wudu then he has an enormous sin
Because of that Dua it could be the case that all their sins are forgiven
But it's never the case that all the Muslims are forgiven for all of their sins
The person shouldn't forget his Muslim parents
The parents would see the goodness of what they did in the hereafter
It is not permissible for a Non-Muslim to recite Qur'an
Women can't recite Qur'an whilst she is on her period
It does not mean that they are filthy
Only those who are on purification can touch the Qur'an
It's not permissible for the one who is junub to touch the Qur'an
The period is not under her control
In the school of Malik it's not permissible for her to touch it or recite it
They can say Dhikr but they can't recite Qur'an
In the Hannaffi school they wipe three times
The recitation of the Qur'an is a blessing
The mouth of the fasting person is sacred
The siwak takes it away
If he swallows it than his fast is invalidated
It is more emphasized for the prayer
Siwak has a lot of blessings
