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
