[Music]
indeed all praise is for the creator of
the heavens and earth Allah subhah waala
we praise him we seek his help we beg
for his forgiveness we seek Refuge with
the almighty with Allah from the evil
within ourselves and the evil
consequences of our evil
actions whoever Allah guides to the
straight path no force in the universe
can misguide him and whoever Allah lets
go astray due to his own accord no one
can guide them back except the Creator
Allah I bear witness an open
testimony that there is nothing no one
worthy of any act of worship except the
Creator
Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad
s. wasam is his slave servant and final
messenger now note when we make this
declaration we automatically include not
exclude all the preceding Messengers
that came before Muhammad sallah Al just
the name of few Isa Jesus M Moses
ibraim Abraham Noah Yahya Solomon ish
Isaac we believe in all of them when we
make this
declaration we send peace and blessings
on all of them and we know that this way
of life that we live they all called
people to
live all of them came with proofs and
evidences to prove that they were indeed
Messengers from Allah they were Muslims
just like you are here today those who
submit to the will of Allah and today we
have the living
Miracle which is the Quran tamper free
tamper proof for anyone sincerely
looking for the truth and the Muslim
who's found the truth
and now he's adhering to the Quran and
the Sunnah everything is there Allah is
saying in the
Quran oh you who
believe have TA of Allah this deep
reverence this consciousness of your
maker fear Allah as he should be feared
and die not except in a state of
submission in a state of Islam don't get
caught off
guard that you're at a place you
shouldn't be at a time you shouldn't be
and then melal Mo comes for you and then
it's over it's too
late so it's a warning from the almighty
from
Allah be in a state of submission at all
times now Allah knows where're human
beings we make mistakes that's why the
doors of Toba repentance are always open
for you to be able to make a U-turn but
we believe we live between that fear and
that hope the driving forces love we
don't go to one time side too
much oh God he's all love love love and
then you're at the nightclub you're
doing all sorts of things you shouldn't
be doing or too much fear you fall into
despair to despondence thinking that
your
sins are more than Allah can forgive
that's not the case so between fear and
hope now here Allah is addressing all of
mankind
oh mankind be beautiful to your lord who
created you from a single soul and then
from him he created his wife and then
from them both he created a multitude of
men and women that's the human
race there's no book in the world
there's no religious scripture there's
nothing I challenge you to look where
the Creator is identifying himself as
the one who created you this whole human
race put a stamp on him being the owner
of creation identify himself as clearly
as it is in the Quran nowhere else to
look is here and we have it that's the
mercy and fear Allah through whom you
demand your Mutual rights and do not cut
off the ties of kinship
[Music]
oh Muslims you must know that the best
of speech is the book of Allah and the
best guidance is that of the m messenger
Muhammad s wasam his Sunnah and the
worst of all Affairs are those newly
invented things in the dean we're not
talking about soap iPhones
iPads elevators microphones no we're
talking about if the prophet Allah
didn't reveal it the prophet didn't
teach it his companions they didn't
understand it they didn't have it at
their time in the religion we stay away
from the those things it's clear Islam
means to submit not to inent so that's
what the messenger of Allah on every he
was advising the people calling the
people to the simple Message of Islam
and Heering to the tenants because you
go out to some places thousand different
places of worship thousand different
sexs and everybody's doing it your way
this is not Burger King have it your way
no it's the Creator's way Allah's way so
we submit we follow the plant now I want
to talk to you my brothers and the
sisters here today on three points one
is the
purpose understanding this purpose two
is the fuel for the purpose and three
sharing the
purpose now it's very important that we
now and it's sad to say many Muslims
when you ask them many of the
fundamental principles of Islam people
don't
know but we should be able to understand
it because it's very easy to understand
people have all sorts of a million
you'll ask your neighbors your friends
what's the purpose of life most people
don't get asked this question and then
when you ask them they have a
million and 10 different purposes but
nobody knows the real purpose someone
might say hey it's to help
Humanity it's a good start but that's
not it what if you're someone stuck in a
wheelchair you you need someone to push
you around who you helping you can't
even help
yourself so is that the general purpose
the ultimate
purpose how about someone says oh it's
to have a family to raise some kids good
shot what if somebody they can't get
married or they keep getting married
keep having a divorce can't remarry is
that the ultimate
purpose there has to be an ultimate
purpose for everybody and Allah tells us
in the Quran what that
is we hear this Ayah I have not Allah is
saying I have not created the Jin and
the mankind except to worship me to
serve me but do we Gras this do we
understand this
concept imagine this you have a a
company the boss hires you it's going to
pay you1 ,000 a week check and you have
to adhere to these guidelines but it
doesn't just stick to the guidelines
that work he wants you to be able to
carry yourself because you represent the
company out on work and out of work so
he said look if you're posting some
funny stuff on Facebook you're probably
going to get fired because we want you
to have the
utmost in manners in
ethics so these Twitter posts we're
going to be monitoring those things
Facebook same
thing on the job and off the job good
moral conduct Cod that they want you to
stick by you wouldn't have a problem
with that would you you get that
$100,000 check so your whole life will
be around pleasing your boss
your demeanor at all times hold on
someone from the company can check up on
me they might send them to work at home
to make sure that I'm adhering to
everything I need to adhere to otherwise
I'm going to lose my
job but
Allah he has given us more and he will
give us more and continue to bless us
and the muslim's whole life is having
this consciousness of his maker at all
times and living to please his maker at
all times and to stay away from
everything that he told us because Allah
knows best you don't know best you think
Allah said some things you like but it's
not good for you and some things you
don't like but it's good for you don't
know Allah knows so when you come to the
realization that indeed this
Quran is from the
Creator I use my intellect I was guided
to this now I hear and I obey in my
whole life revolves now Under the
Umbrella of servitude of worship and
everything that Allah calls me to is
good for me good for my family good for
society now I can choose now we go back
to you want to help Humanity Allah says
is there go serve the prophet sallam
said the best of you are those who are
in the servitude of others it's a part
of the purpose but don't take the means
as the ultimate
goal you understand my English
is
clear so our whole life we're conscious
of our maker our actions our Deeds that
they're pleasing to the one who created
us just like you would be very cognizant
and aware Subhan Allah that boss who
checking up on me they're watching me on
the cameras checking my
Facebook and he wants to make sure that
I'm representing the company in the best
way or otherwise I get fired well if
Allah fire is in the Hellfire and Allah
won't put anybody there
unjustly so now we have our chance and
now it's really from from here the
prophet sallam had said that IM is built
on
70 some odd branches the lowest of which
pay
attention is to remove an obstacle from
the road
Subhan Allah look at that that's an act
of
I that's an act of worship you removing
something that can harm someone in the
road it's going to harm you you see it
there no but what you're being a benefit
for Humanity the prophet sallallah
alaihi wasallam said that if the day of
judgment was coming tomorrow plant a
seed you want to make the earth green
it's in the sunah huh go green you heard
this our Dean teaches us
is there in
the modesty is a branch of IM the sister
the brother same
thing more and more they making these
clothes even tighter for the men you
know they have an agendas pushing and
now also the modesty for the man he
can't have all his private showing and
whatnot so it's a modesty for the man
too and for the sister she's not wearing
the hijab with the tight pants
no the hijab now is the crown her
modesty and her behavior
her there's nothing being revealed in
the shape of her
body and this is an act
of she's on a different moral code
look another Act of another act of
worship all of these things are the best
look pure
Muslim should be clean smell good
looking
good for the Sisters for their husbands
obviously not going
out but in your houses in your places of
work your
homes
spiritual Purity first and foremost
ridding ourselves from all sorts of sh
and all of the things that are
displeasing to Allah and then physical
Purity it's an act of I the highest of
which is
[Music]
what the the pure
monotheism and then everything in
between look now my
second point that I want to go
to and we can expound on this but I
think you get the
gist now when someone asks you or you
asked a question what's the purpose of
life and you can see all of these SE AR
things the million other things that
most things people say are good and
you'll find them in Islam but those are
a person can feed look they can be out
there
donating to the whole world giving
billions and millions but at the end it
wasn't built on the pure monotheism it
wasn't built on to they did it maybe for
some self-interest to get on the a class
list maybe Allah reward them in this
life but they do they have a share in in
in the next life no it's got to be built
and the
man now the second point is the fuel for
purpose you look really
silly if you were 12 13 years old and
you're sitting in kindergarten weren't
you or
now you're a college student and you're
in ninth grade still there you should be
in college why because we excel in life
we want to go from white belt to the
blue belt and move on you don't want to
stay a white
belt for the next 20 30 years do you
no you want to excel so what fuels the
purpose climbing the spiritual
ladder that mean it's incumbent on
every Muslim to seek
knowledge to seek knowledge in the dean
to put aside time you're in your car
you're not blasting 55 cents Jay-Z cake
Perry and all this other
nonsense you are listening to
Quran or listening to a lecture where
someone's giving the T of the Quran or
someone's directing you to what Allah
loves to what your creator loves
explaining into you the fundamentals of
the dean why because the more you study
this Dean I have a TV talk show that I
do it's called the dean
show at the end before I forget we'll
have some bumper stick
please don't forget to take it I've
interviewed so many different people
who've come to this way of life to Islam
they've come from a background of
Judaism Christianity Hinduism and one
thing they all have in common that a
they were sincerely looking for the
truth and B the more they looked in to
the man-made religions the more they
were unconvinced and the more they
studied this Dean of Islam the more it
gave them certainty certainty that they
went against all the odds and challenges
and they ended up accepting going
against culture and society and their
families but what about us we have the
dean and how many of us are ignorant you
ask a person what is Islam what is the
purpose basic things what does mean what
are you saying when you put your head
down sub glory be to my Lord the most
high translated we don't know shame on
us
we have to how much time do we
spend on many of these social media
tools that are out there that can be
used for good but Subhan Allah much of
it what is it used for By
Us by many people for the wrong
things and then when you add up all of
the
time that we have spent on nonsense
wasting
time you're not getting paid for that
time with Allah but actually
accumulating
sins because the IM is either going up
or down so it's not fueling your IM it's
actually poison in the
heart and is corrupting us but there's
no corruption when you're spending time
the fish in the sea the birds in the air
the whole creation makes Dua for the one
who's seeking knowledge you know this
check it up it say authentic Hadith is
not Allah makes the path easy to Jenna
for the one who seeks
knowledge 5 minutes 10 minutes in the
car you download it's easy now from one
destination how many people travel 5 10
5 hours here 1 hour here throughout the
week is added up 10 hours Subhan Allah
imagine every time you in the car if you
had done it already start today you put
a CD buy a CD set throw it in Subhan
Allah it's empowering at
home there's a story of it's not Hadi
for anything it's a story about one shik
had related it that Shayan comes in the
house and when he sees all these TVs he
says my job is done here and he leaves
Subhan Allah not to say that the TV is
is Haram no but what's coming in the TV
how many of us spending time cut the
cable all this promiscuity in just the
commercials maybe you get peace TV maybe
you get Huda TV the dean
show but the kids standing just
zombies watching all of this junk is
destroying them sending these subliminal
messages and they're it's educating your
children five 6 Seven 8 hours a day you
want to get some peace and you just
throw them in front of the TV and then
it comes back to haunt you what did you
do who raised them huh the TV did Subhan
Allah so the
fuel for the purpose for the IM is ill
is knowledge and we're people of
knowledge so dedicate a certain amount
of time daily weekly to learn this de to
learn from people of
knowledge I say this I seek forgiveness
from Allah for me for you and for the
rest of the seek forgiveness from Allah
for indeed he's the most
forgiving the third point so we covered
purpose in a nutshell why have we been
created what are we doing here if you
were on the moon you just ended up
popping up on the moon you want to know
why am I on the moon maybe you go here
get some coffee they have some shops
there relax a little bit calm down say
man what you doing here you don't get
just stuck there now figure out what am
I doing here why am I on the moon why
are we on this Earth Islam explains it
simply beautifully based on evidence we
talked a little bit about that and then
fueling the dean the purpose we need to
be Purpose
Driven we need to put fuel in the this
car otherwise that's it then we living
for just this dun this temporary World
Allah has allowed us to take our share
to have this world in our hands but not
in our heart but if we're
constantly that's it then what we get
dunized that's it we get dunized and
then we're asleep and then death comes
we wake up it's too
late it's too late so now the Third
point I want to cover extremely
important once we grab grasp
this Allah says in the
[Music]
Quran and who is better in speech it's a
rhetorical question no one is better in
speech than the one who is better in
speech except the one who calls to Allah
does righteous good deeds and says I am
of those who have submitted commed to my
Lord so maybe some of us we don't speak
the best of English but it's our duty
duty the prophet sallallah alai wasallam
he commanded to share this message Allah
had commanded that we are to share the
purpose with the people maybe you don't
speak much good English it's okay maybe
some speak but it's better they don't
speak but you can give a translation of
the Quran a pamphlet about
Islam we like to get in with our
co-workers have conversations about this
and that and football and Cricket in my
country and everything under the sun
we've talked about it what about the
purpose of
life have you given the people the
proposition have them think and reflect
share if you care you'll
share forward the de show that's what is
there for we've done all the hard work
alhamdulillah it's
there but this is not an option it's a
responsibility we need to be the
ambassadors for this de and that's built
on the the the
good because sometimes look Muslims in
the way deceiving
cheating doing things opposite
to the
good so built on that the prophet Sall
Al wasallam said I have not been sent
except to perfect good manners and at
that time at times that can be something
that really because people are used to
all sorts of corruption now here you
come on a whole different level say man
I haven't seen this individual like this
honest
upright holds to his promises very
helpful and this is an act of
is facilitating kindness with people
helping people Muslim or not
Muslim all of
humanity but at the same time there's an
obligation to the best of your ability
to your job and work you have to
produce it doesn't matter does it at the
end you say to the boss say hey look I I
put in 50 hours here but did you make
him some money he's going to keep you on
no say get lost he don't see the all the
work effort that you put in but look
Subhan Allah Allah is not going
to hold you to account because of the
results but the effort he wants you to
give your best that's it give your
best that's what he expects from all of
us to give our best for this
de and this is the aspect of
D so
we covered these three points in the
short
H purpose being Purpose Driven driving
that purpose with knowledge and sharing
that
purpose sharing that
purpose so we'll have some bumper
stickers and with the because it's all
intention now you put a bumper sticker
says purpose of life ever wonder you
have the bumper stickers out there
they're green free take it put it on
your car give it to someone someone is
driving and they see this bumper s here
said what's this everything's on the
mobile they go they go to the website
Subhan Allah we have a also a 1800
number that they call they ask questions
or they read some article watch a show
that's some Christian minister accepted
Islam so many people so many
stories and they say you know what this
is what I've been looking for and you
come on the day of judgment look the
scales are so high
and you say where did I get this so it
is connected back to just this small
little thing you did Subhan Allah the
small little thing you did so let's get
motivated on this Juma here it's the
best day of the week we come to hear
these reminders let them not just go one
year after the other take gave you a few
tangible things to do many of you are
probably doing it already but cutting
out some of the things that are no
benefit
really knowing the simple concepts of
the dean know how to share it I don't
know
hey get to a place where you do know and
that goes back to the second Point
driving it with the
knowledge and then sharing to the best
of your
ability
Allah has Us in the
Quran sending
peace and blessings in
the
[Music]
prophet the one who brought us this
guidance Allah said in the
Quran all slaves of
Allah Allah commands Justice and doing
of good and Liberty to Kin and kid He
commands and for he forbids all shameful
Deeds
immorality he instructs you that you may
remember remember Allah and he will
remember you be thankful to Allah and he
will increase you in your Bounty have
tawa of Allah consciousness of your
maker at all times and he will provide a
way out of any issues that you might be
having
