WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.339 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful 00:00:04.450 --> 00:00:07.650 We are pleased at Sheikh Hasa Islamic Center 00:00:07.730 --> 00:00:10.529 To present to our valued listeners 00:00:10.529 --> 00:00:12.769 Reading a book 00:00:12.769 --> 00:00:14.609 Muslim treasure 00:00:14.609 --> 00:00:17.149 In the virtue of calling to God 00:00:17.149 --> 00:00:20.250 Written by John Yaar Bamerni 00:00:21.579 --> 00:00:25.559 Calling people to God is the greatest job 00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:29.339 And abandoning it is the greatest punishment 00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:33.159 The penalties for abandoning the call are many 00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:35.600 Including first 00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:37.280 Replacement 00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:39.380 God Almighty said 00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:47.420 If you turn away, he will replace you with a people other than you 00:00:47.420 --> 00:00:55.399 Then they will not be like you 00:00:56.899 --> 00:00:57.960 Secondly 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:01.320 Cursing and deprivation of God's mercy 00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:03.600 God Almighty said 00:01:04.269 --> 00:01:11.189 Cursed are those who disbelieved among the Children of Israel 00:01:11.189 --> 00:01:16.269 On the tongue of David and Isa bin Maryam 00:01:16.739 --> 00:01:23.230 That is because they disobeyed and transgressed 00:01:23.230 --> 00:01:32.409 They would not refrain from the evil they did 00:01:32.569 --> 00:01:39.599 What they were doing was miserable 00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:40.760 Third 00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:43.159 Enmity and hatred 00:01:43.819 --> 00:01:45.459 God Almighty said 00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.480 And from those who said 00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:55.560 We are Christians who have taken their covenant 00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:57.680 They forgot luck 00:01:58.549 --> 00:02:03.870 They forgot a portion of what they were reminded of 00:02:03.909 --> 00:02:10.509 So we induced enmity and hatred among them 00:02:10.509 --> 00:02:13.150 Until the Day of Resurrection 00:02:14.009 --> 00:02:23.740 And God will inform them of what they were doing 00:02:24.060 --> 00:02:24.819 Fourth 00:02:25.340 --> 00:02:27.180 Destruction and destruction 00:02:27.969 --> 00:02:29.449 God Almighty said 00:02:30.629 --> 00:02:34.550 When they forgot what they were reminded of 00:02:34.550 --> 00:02:39.310 We opened the doors to everything for them 00:02:39.310 --> 00:02:43.030 Even if they are happy 00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:50.599 Even when they rejoice in what they were given 00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:54.639 We took them by surprise 00:02:54.639 --> 00:03:00.199 So they are confused 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:05.159 He cut off the roots of the people who had wronged 00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:13.169 Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds 00:03:13.169 --> 00:03:14.090 Fifth 00:03:14.650 --> 00:03:18.889 Division, disagreement, and torment in this world and the hereafter 00:03:19.650 --> 00:03:21.250 God Almighty said 00:03:22.060 --> 00:03:29.860 And let there be a nation among you who calls to goodness 00:03:29.860 --> 00:03:32.900 And they enjoin what is right 00:03:32.900 --> 00:03:36.460 And they forbid evil 00:03:37.050 --> 00:03:43.689 And those are the successful ones 00:03:44.419 --> 00:03:48.900 And do not be like those who became divided 00:03:48.900 --> 00:03:57.259 They disagreed after clear evidence came to them 00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:06.240 And for those will be a great punishment 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:13.199 If a nation abandons the call, it will suffer three calamities 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:18.279 The first is to care about this world and neglect the afterlife 00:04:18.819 --> 00:04:25.060 The second is spending money, time, and thoughts on things other than the interests of religion 00:04:25.579 --> 00:04:30.459 The third is to imitate the infidels in their way of life 00:04:30.660 --> 00:04:36.459 And they have to learn to transfer their way of life to Muslim countries 00:04:37.500 --> 00:04:42.540 If the call to God is established, all the doors of goodness are opened 00:04:42.939 --> 00:04:47.060 Faith and good deeds enter people's lives 00:04:47.379 --> 00:04:50.939 Good morals include patience and forgiveness 00:04:51.139 --> 00:04:54.139 And kindness and mercy in their lives 00:04:54.660 --> 00:04:56.740 And the infidels enter the religion 00:04:57.019 --> 00:04:59.540 The disobedient enters into acts of obedience 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:02.759 If we do not call to God 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:05.600 All the doors of evil were opened 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:09.439 All evil entered and all good came out 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:14.839 And if faith, good deeds and good morals come out 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:19.920 In its place came disbelief, corrupt work, and bad morals 00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:25.279 Then in the end people leave the religion of God in droves 00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:27.879 They also entered it in crowds 00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:29.639 God's Sunnah 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.480 You will not find any change in the Sunnah of God 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:36.399 Every Muslim is responsible 00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:40.160 God will hold him accountable for his unilateral action 00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:41.600 It is worship 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:43.879 And on social work 00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:46.120 It is the call to God 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:51.680 God will question both the supplicant and the one being called on the Day of Resurrection 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:54.600 What they were doing in this world 00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:56.959 God Almighty said 00:05:58.129 --> 00:06:03.370 Let us ask those to whom it was sent 00:06:03.370 --> 00:06:07.769 Let us ask the messengers 00:06:08.569 --> 00:06:21.490 Let us narrate to them with knowledge while we were absent 00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:26.240 The weight on that day will be correct 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:36.519 Those whose scales are heavy are the ones who are successful 00:06:37.490 --> 00:06:54.519 And those whose scales are light are those who have lost their souls 00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:59.720 Because they wronged Our verses 00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:04.040 And God Almighty said 00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:05.279 And the afternoon 00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.959 Man is in loss 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:12.800 Except those who believe and do righteous deeds 00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:16.920 And exhort one another to truth and exhort one another to patience 00:07:18.149 --> 00:07:23.189 Our nation in this time has become a weak and targeted nation 00:07:23.709 --> 00:07:25.389 Nations claimed it 00:07:25.709 --> 00:07:28.550 The eaters also quarreled over their bowl 00:07:29.069 --> 00:07:32.589 Because Muslims are negligent in enjoining good deeds 00:07:33.189 --> 00:07:35.709 Then ignorance and sin began to spread 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:40.879 Who would be willing to copy the characteristics of believers? 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:44.720 Those who enjoin good and forbid evil 00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:51.160 There is no doubt that no sane Muslim wants this situation for himself 00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:53.920 Ibn al-Qayyim, may God have mercy on him, said 00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.160 What religion and what good is there in them? 00:07:57.800 --> 00:07:59.839 He sees God's prohibitions violated 00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:03.399 His boundaries are lost and his religion is abandoned 00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:08.160 And the Sunnah of His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, is rejected 00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:11.879 He is cold-hearted and silent 00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:13.839 Dumb devil 00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:18.120 Also, the one who speaks falsehood is a speaking devil 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:21.920 Is the calamity of religion except one of these? 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.279 Who if their food and leadership are handed over to them 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:29.600 There is no caring about what happened to religion 00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:33.279 And these, despite their fall from the eyes of God 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:35.159 And God hates them 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.039 They have been afflicted with the greatest calamity in this world 00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:40.720 And they do not feel 00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:42.799 It is the death of hearts 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.840 The heart, the more complete its life 00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:50.399 His anger toward God and His Messenger was stronger 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:53.320 And his victory for religion is complete 00:08:54.509 --> 00:08:56.909 The nation will not achieve its goodness 00:08:56.909 --> 00:09:00.110 She attains her glory, honor and dignity 00:09:00.509 --> 00:09:03.070 She wins with her prosperity and success 00:09:03.549 --> 00:09:07.149 Unless its members, men and women, stand up 00:09:07.629 --> 00:09:10.950 Everyone can do their best to spread goodness 00:09:11.629 --> 00:09:14.549 So by doing this and rushing to it 00:09:15.029 --> 00:09:17.389 And preferring God’s pleasure over the world 00:09:17.870 --> 00:09:20.789 And communicating the truth and cooperating in it 00:09:21.309 --> 00:09:23.669 Each according to his situation 00:09:24.230 --> 00:09:26.350 Which would be a reason for his satisfaction 00:09:26.830 --> 00:09:29.950 He brought all good and repelled all evil 00:09:30.809 --> 00:09:33.370 And by being deceived by the world and its adornments 00:09:33.769 --> 00:09:35.090 And neglect of God 00:09:35.570 --> 00:09:38.129 Refraining from commands and prohibitions 00:09:38.649 --> 00:09:41.250 Humiliation, humiliation and shame occur 00:09:41.649 --> 00:09:43.370 In this world and the hereafter 00:09:44.009 --> 00:09:45.570 Anxiety and distress occur 00:09:45.970 --> 00:09:49.370 Blessings are taken away and curses befall 00:09:50.230 --> 00:09:52.789 May God have mercy on those who help in religion 00:09:52.789 --> 00:09:54.509 Even half a word 00:09:55.070 --> 00:09:56.190 But destruction 00:09:56.590 --> 00:09:58.710 In abandoning what the servant is able to do 00:09:58.710 --> 00:10:00.909 From the call to this religion 00:10:02.139 --> 00:10:03.419 Look at your situation 00:10:03.940 --> 00:10:05.539 What does God keep you busy? 00:10:06.100 --> 00:10:07.820 If he uses you for his religion 00:10:08.340 --> 00:10:09.019 So stand firm 00:10:09.500 --> 00:10:12.460 Perhaps this is one of the reasons why he loves you 00:10:13.139 --> 00:10:16.019 Even if you spend your energy and time 00:10:16.059 --> 00:10:18.259 And your money is just for the world 00:10:18.899 --> 00:10:21.299 So hurry to hold yourself accountable 00:10:21.299 --> 00:10:23.139 Before it's too late 00:10:23.779 --> 00:10:27.740 Only those who hate it should fail. Oh God, resurrect him 00:10:28.529 --> 00:10:30.090 Even if they wanted to leave 00:10:30.090 --> 00:10:31.889 They prepared for him 00:10:32.490 --> 00:10:35.730 But God hated sending them 00:10:36.169 --> 00:10:39.970 So he discouraged them and it was said that they sat with those who were sitting 00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:41.639 And you don't know 00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:45.120 Perhaps God discouraged them from preaching 00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:47.799 Or providing services to its people 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:50.600 Because God Almighty knows their hypocrisy 00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:52.799 And their deception of Islam and its people 00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:55.440 And if they had participated with them 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:57.799 They harmed them and did not benefit them 00:11:00.230 --> 00:11:01.669 Who is the preacher? 00:11:03.090 --> 00:11:04.690 Who gave a smile 00:11:05.049 --> 00:11:07.129 Or a gift or a book 00:11:07.690 --> 00:11:09.049 Or the knowledge of an ignorant person 00:11:09.570 --> 00:11:12.370 Or enjoin good and forbid evil 00:11:12.850 --> 00:11:14.009 Or give a speech 00:11:14.450 --> 00:11:18.169 Or send a clip on social media 00:11:18.730 --> 00:11:20.929 And all this with the intention of calling 00:11:21.450 --> 00:11:22.610 He is an advocate 00:11:23.289 --> 00:11:26.889 This is the grace of God, which He gives to whomever He wishes 00:11:27.370 --> 00:11:29.610 God is of great bounty 00:11:30.990 --> 00:11:32.350 The smart bag 00:11:32.830 --> 00:11:36.629 He does not stop praying as long as his heart beats 00:11:37.350 --> 00:11:40.669 If he encounters an obstacle or is unable to find his way 00:11:41.110 --> 00:11:42.470 Search for another 00:11:42.870 --> 00:11:45.750 steadfast until he meets his Lord 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:53.200 Calling people to God causes harm 00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:54.360 From her 00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:57.039 Hypocrisy and insincerity 00:11:57.480 --> 00:11:59.279 And eat the world with religion 00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:02.840 And selling the words of God and His Messenger for a fee 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:06.000 The call to self and the love of fame 00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:10.000 And calling for a diet of ignorance and fanaticism 00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:14.039 Like someone who calls for a party, sect, or group 00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:16.720 He does not accept invitations from anyone else 00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:21.799 God commanded us to call to Him and not to call to anything else 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:24.639 And everyone who left the foundations of the call 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:26.480 He called as he pleased 00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:29.080 It is plagued with many pests 00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:31.159 Including self-praise 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:32.720 And wonder and pride 00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:35.279 And keen on prestige and position 00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:37.480 And contempt for others 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:40.600 And consider the faults of those calling to God 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:43.000 And spending on his desires 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:45.559 Leave spending on debt 00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:49.440 The duties and good deeds became burdensome for him 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:51.759 And expand the permissible things 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:56.480 He found it easy for him to waste time arguing and lusting 00:12:57.309 --> 00:12:58.830 God Almighty said 00:12:59.960 --> 00:13:06.039 When they forgot what they had been reminded of, We opened them 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:12.279 The doors of everything even if they rejoice 00:13:13.500 --> 00:13:19.419 Even when they rejoice in what they were given 00:13:20.019 --> 00:13:28.320 We caught them suddenly, and they were paralyzed 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:34.360 He cut off the roots of the people who had wronged 00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:42.250 Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds 00:13:42.490 --> 00:13:44.690 Al-Fawzan said frankly 00:13:44.730 --> 00:13:45.850 May God protect him 00:13:46.450 --> 00:13:49.889 If some people do not praise and encourage 00:13:50.129 --> 00:13:51.210 Leave the invitation 00:13:51.850 --> 00:13:55.090 This is evidence that he does not call to God 00:13:55.450 --> 00:13:57.809 Rather, he calls to himself
