Wa salatu wa salamu ala ashrafil anbiya wal mursaleen, Muhammadur Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallam, Tasliman kathirin wa kathirin. Humma baadu, my brothers and sisters, we are looking at the issue of being ibadullah, being the slaves of Allah SWT. And as I mentioned to you, I remind myself and you, that being a slave means to obey Allah. Obey Allah SWT without question. Wa itqala lahu Rabbuhu aslim qala aslamtu li Rabbil Alameen. The Prophet said about him, when his Rabb said to him, submit, he said, I have submitted. There are no ifs and buts. There is no issue of saying, well, you know, I understand. I mean, I have heard this, but let me think about it. Does it make, does it fit my logic? None of that. Allah said, do this, we do this. Even the issue of jaza and saza, the issue of reward that Allah will give if we obey Him and the punishment that Allah may give, if we disobey Him. Being a true slave of Allah SWT, even that does not come into consideration. We obey Allah because Allah said, so khalas. Even if there was no reward, we would still obey Allah SWT. If Allah SWT says, aqibu sala, establish sala. Of course, Allah SWT gives reward for this. So we are not denying that. Alhamdulillah, we ask Allah for the reward. But supposing, if I say, I am Abdullah, I am the slave of Allah, and Allah SWT says, establish sala, then I establish sala. Even if there is no reward for that, I still do it. Because Allah said so. There is no other reason. The reason is because Allah said so. Right? The reason for doing that is, because Allah said so. Allah SWT said so. Allah SWT, for example, prohibited interest-based dealings in the Quran. And in the ayat of Surah Al-Baqarah, Allah SWT made a clear statement, and that statement is a statement of the magnificence of the power and glory and majesty of Allah SWT. Allah SWT did not give the reasons for this. Interest destroys wealth. Interest does this. Interest does that. Allah SWT made the trade halal. And Allah SWT made interest haraam. End of story. Even if interest was the most magnificently profitable thing on the face of the earth, it is haraam. I will not touch it. Because Allah said so. This is the thing which, if we can get this into our system, Insha Allah, we can look forward to the forgiveness of Allah SWT. And if we do not get this into our system, believe me, till the last breath leaves your body, you will be and you will live in a state of confusion and turmoil created by yourself. Constantly. Why should I do it? Should I not? Should I not? Because there is no shortage of the agents of shaitan who will come to you and whisper in your ear, do it like this and borrow from here and do this and do that and shift the money from here to there. They will give you scheme after scheme after scheme. There will also be compliant so-called ulama who are ulama as-su, the ulama of evil, who will give you the money. Who will give you fatwas. No, in this country it is okay. In that country it is okay. You can borrow money and build a house, first house is okay. This is your father's day. Where do you get this first house is okay. 15% of haram in halal is okay. So 15% of urine in your water is okay. Right? Think about this. Think about this. Think about this. And all why? Because we don't want to take. Because Allah said so. Why are you doing this? Because Allah said so. Why are you fasting? Because Allah said so. And this is the haqq. Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, He is the khaliq, fa huwa yaqtaar. He is the one who chooses. Why is the day of Juma, why is the day of Juma mubarak? What is so special about Friday? Is there anything else? Does Friday have 24 hours plus 10 minutes? What is in, what is about Friday? Nothing except Allah said so. What is so great about Ramadan? We ask Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala to give us Ramadan in with Iman and with the health and the ability to fast and help us to fast in sha Allah. It's you know, less than 30 days from now. What's so special about Ramadan? It's a month like any month. Except Allah made it special. It is special because Allah said so. Everything, because Allah said so. Our problem happens because we don't apply this standard. So what we do, may Allah have mercy on us, we take and we follow the rules of the day. We follow the rules of the day. We follow the rules of the day. And we follow what suits us. And what does not suit us, what is maybe a little bit more difficult, maybe doesn't fit in with whatever shaitani schemes we have in our heads, we leave that. From the Kitab and the Sunnah, both. There is a Sunnah of the Nabi alaihi salatu wasalam, no but you know, it's not convenient. What will happen? Somebody, we went the other day, a friend of ours told us, shave your beards, otherwise you will get killed. I said, we will get killed anyway. You will die anyway. I said, I would rather die with my beard. Mouths ...
