  • Summary

  • Auto-generated transcript:Alhamdulillah, I remind myself and you, my brothers and sisters, that all the promises of Allah SWT are for the Muttaqun. And therefore it is in my own interest and your own interest for you and me to examine whether we are Muttaqun or not, whether we have Taqwa or not and if we do have Taqwa Alhamdulillah, Insha'Allah, then what is the level of that Taqwa? How strong is it? One of the best ways to see that is our attitude towards Salah. Do we see Salah as an honor or as a burden? Which one? Do I want to finish Salah and go? My South African friends have this wonderful saying, Let us make Asar finish. Let us make Zor finish. And then what is finish? Do we just finish and go? Or is it an honor? Rasulullah SAW used to say, Go call the other. Give us relief. Give us Sukkwa. Call the other. We stand for Salah. When he prayed Tahajjud, the Sahaba said, sometimes we were afraid the sun would rise. He would pray the whole night. Almost till the time of Fajr. What is our attitude? Allah SWT praised him and he praised those who stood with him in Salah. What is our attitude? What is our attitude towards spending in the path of Allah SWT? Do we see that as a burden, as a nuisance, as something to be done and finished? Somebody asked me on Zakat. They said, there are stores, you know, stock value of the store. There are big department stores. So they say stock value of the stores. So he said, should I pay Zakat on the market value of that stock or the price at which I bought the stock? So I said only one thing. I always say the same thing. I told him, do you want Allah to count and give you? Just tell me that much. Do you want Allah to count and give you? How many Salah did he pray? What was the quality of that Salah? My Rizq what I'm going to give him for food will depend on that. You want Allah to do this calculation for you? He said, no, I got you. I got the answer. Thank you. Seriously, spend in the path of Allah understanding one thing. If you don't get anything from this, take this one thing. Hold your hand like this. This one, your left hand is your bank account in this world, is your worldly assets. This, your right hand is your assets on the day of judgment. All right? When you are spending in the path of Allah, it's not going anywhere. You are taking it from this one, from the left hand, your bank account in this world and transferring it to the right hand. That's all. That is all. It's yours. How can we give to Allah? Can we give to Allah? The one who gave it to you in the first place, we can give it to him. All that you are doing when you are donating to the masjid, when you are donating to some other cause, when you are giving it to your own poor relatives who take first precedence, when you are giving to people who are in need, no matter where you are giving, whether it's your money, whether it's your time, your energy, you are simply taking what belongs to you in this world about which Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said, whatever is with you will finish with perish and you are taking it and putting it into your own akhira account about which Allah said, wa ma'indallahi baq. And what is with Allah will remain. So ask yourself, ask yourself, I have this much of asset, my net worth is so much, what do I want my net worth to be on the day of judgment? Forget who is asking you. Forget the masjid. Masjid needs this. Forget the masjid. The house of Allah, Allah will provide. That's why I never do fundraisers. I say I will never do a fundraiser inside a masjid because to me to do fundraisers inside the masjid is an insult to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. You want me to beg people for the house of Allah? When I'm standing in the house of Allah? I will ask Allah, Allah we need this, we need so much money to run this masjid, give us because it is your house. How would you like somebody to come into your house? And do a fundraiser and say, I have to run brother Abdullah's house so please we need so much money,
