#EmanChannel

I want to start off by asking you 3 questions.

You already know the question and I'll do this everywhere I go inshallah wa ta'ala and I want us to shout it with passion.

I want us to shout it like we are in front of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala in Yawm al Qiyamah and the first question is who is your Lord?

The brothers in the middle section may Allah bless you you did amazing the brothers on the side the doors over there if you're still sleeping.

May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless every single 1 of you here today.

Now we claim we want it Because Jannah is easy for us.

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has allocated this beautiful deen to every single 1 of us that's sitting here Jannah was gifted to you.

You see some of us we wake up as a non-believer We die and we die as a Muslim and some of us we wake up as a Muslim by the end of the day by the end Of the night we could fall into a sin or we could die as a kafir.

And I'm gonna be totally honest with you.

There is things that is going on in our communities when we are failing 1 another.

And the reason we are failing 1 another because there isn't the basic and the ethics of Islam that is being carried out inside the households.

Subhanallah I should have asked the producers already to give me some paracetamol just in case if me and the future speakers that come onto the stage if we hurt your feelings we don't care Islam wasn't watered down for the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam so why do you think it should be watered down to you?

You advise a brother about his haircut or what he dresses or him passing low The brother turns out, only God can judge me.

Ma'umar Ibn Khattab says we can judge by what is apparent.

You advise a sister, she's calling you every name under the sun.

We're doing it because we want you in Jannah.

And for the brothers we understand there's a lot of sisters in our communities that are going astray and I do not blame the sisters.

I blame the men that claim that they follow the Quran and the Sunnah upon the understanding of East London or Birmingham or Manchester.

Upon the understanding of your boy and your gan.

Not upon the understanding of the companions, radhiallahu anhu.

And this is the reality of a Muslim today my bro you lot are not the future you lot are not the future your future is your kids is those that come after them and so on and so forth But it is you that has to plant that seed within yourself in order for you to make sure that the generation that comes after, at least you set pace.

Some of us, our parents are not practicing and we become the first practicing people in our family.

Because whatever was given to them was only watered down.

And every single time you have a shaitan that comes in the form of a human and that human figure that he comes in, it could be your boy, could be your girlfriend, could be your boyfriend and that figure is constantly deceiving you away from Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala.

Why are we picking the path of shaitan when the path of Rahman is open for us.

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has made this deen very easy for you or whatever was to get you into Jannah is nothing but free but everything that gets you away from the deen of Allah is nothing but cost you money.

Everything that takes you to Jahannam is expensive and we as Muslims we chase it.

Is this the reality of a Muslim of today?

You see I walk out of the house every single day to make sure I have this 1 quote that I live by.

Be the reason why someone falls in love with Islam.

Be that reason bro, with your etiquette and your manners and your character.

You see we want to see a change in this ummah bro because we've been suffering for years, for years.

Our brothers and our sisters are being tortured and you name it and I can't mention certain things because we've got kids here but you already know what's going on online.

You know what they're going through all because of they believe in La ilaha illallah and this is our sins that we commit in the West And I say the West because we're so free and the same sins that we commit in the West We can never do in a Muslim country because you already know you already know how you'll be dealt with So why is it that we're getting away with this because we live in the West that Islam has been watered down if the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam was here today and he told you and he advised you you would label him as an extremist.

And you feel like whatever 2 pens, this little 2 pens that you put in, that the Ummah is going to change when in reality what we're doing in secret and in private is was damaging the rest of the ummah.

That's what's damaging the rest of the ummah.

Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala says Do not be like those that forgot Allah for indeed Allah made you forget yourselves.

You pick that girl, you pick that Golf, that GTR, you pick those cars over Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala.

You make sure you keep your car and your homes and spend thousands of pounds on your kitchen and so on.

I'm in construction so I know the length that people go.

And then Every single time you get an update from the Android phones or the iOS or the Apple phones, as Abu Taymiyyah mentioned yesterday, if you don't have an Apple phone, may Allah aid you.

But as you lot know, if there is a message that comes from our technology, from our phones that we have with us, why are we not updating our hearts?

Why are we not updating our manners and our character?

I'm not the best of husbands nor am I the best of servants to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

Nor am I the best of companions to my friends that surround me.

Am I better than the man I was yesterday?

I don't know, because tomorrow ain't here.

When tomorrow comes, then we will see what happens.

And this is the thing, we like to pick and choose what we can adapt into our lives in this beautiful Dean.

Let me make it clear to you my dear respected brothers and sisters, once again Islam will move forward with or without you.

And like going back to what I said earlier we like to point fingers at every single person for our mistakes.

I point fingers at someone, 3 other fingers is already pointing back at me.

Islam came to conquer your hearts and they think that Islam came to conquer the world with violence and with the sword.

Prove it to me bro Because the message reached to people that they've never seen the Prophet Muhammad SAW.

And that's how Islam conquered the hearts.

And we're too busy pointing fingers at someone.

Just a few days ago I went to someone near Bradford to give a talk and a brother a millionaire decided to give a question I am a millionaire Allah's blessed me with money I'm wearing a Rolex I've got a good cause and so on and so forth but the people around me are putting me down.

The people around me are telling me why do you need to you know wear Rolex and why do you need to be flashy flashy.

What made you the man that you think you could judge him if Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala has blessed this man with millions and he still pays his 2.5% that is required Islamically to pay every single year whatever he spends on himself was nothing but a blessing and you my brother you have an illness in your heart and you my sister you have an illness in your heart the brother come here today masha'Allah tabarak Allah before you even see your brother you scan him like a barcode.

Masha'Allah he's wearing Jordans okay He's wearing a Gucci belt.

The brothers now, they are in competition with 1 another and this is not from a Muslim.

Let's make that clear, this is not from a Muslim.

We have come far too, we have suffered far too much to start picking and choosing what we don't have.

So before I carry on, I want every single 1 of you right now to salam the brother next to you, behind you and in front of you.

Because this is what Islam is bro, every single person is a different shade, look around you, this is the Naam of Islam, this is the Naam of La ilaha illallah Muhammad Rasulullah, this is what it means to be a Muslim because I don't give a damn if you're Pakistani or Somali or Iraqi or Palestinian or Pakistani, I don't care.

Islam came to make your life easy bro But we do certain things in our life to make it difficult.

So don't ever blame the Quran and the Sunnah and the companions, but blame yourselves.

And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, like I said, do not be like those that forgot Allah, for indeed Allah made you forget yourselves.

Allah made you forget yourself spiritually, Allah made you forget yourself financially, mentally, verbally.

That's how Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala made you forget yourself.

You put anything and anyone before Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and you wonder why you're depressed.

You wonder why you got anxiety and you wonder why there's nothing going on with your life.

My dear respected brothers and sisters let me make it clear to you there's free relationships in your life I believe if you focus on solely for the sake of Allah, if you focus on I believe every single thing in your life will go well.

Your mental state, your spiritual state, your financial state, your verbal state, you name it my guy, You name it, it will go well for you.

Your first relationship is with Allah SWT.

With Allah SWT, whatever comes with the Deen of Allah.

Your 5 daily prayers, you make sure you make that as a priority and I'm not here to tell people and put them down because my man thinks he can only pray Salatul Jum'ah.

Akhi, I'm not putting you down because at least you're still praying Salatul Jum'ah But what about the other 34 salats in your life?

I remember, I remember there's brothers that are doing delivery on a motorbike during Salatul Jum'ah, they come, they pray with their helmet on.

Are you trying to protect yourself from the floor?

What about when the imam comes on the panel and says assalamu alaikum?

So you're picking the dunya when Allah's calling you to come back to him.

Let's just say 5 salah, 5 salah in a day.

5 minutes per Salah, that's 25 minutes in your day.

When was the last time you said Alhamdulillah?

It takes 1 second to say Alhamdulillah and it takes 1 second to say Astaghfirullah You see the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam in the narration that says he used to Say Astaghfirullah more than a hundred times or a hundred times.

This was the narration Akhi, this was the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam sin free and he himself is seeking refuge in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

So my dear respected brothers and sisters, like I said to you the first relationship is with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, whatever comes with deen of Allah.

Your second relationship is your relationship with your family, your relationship with your mum, your relationship with your dad, your siblings, your uncle, your auntie.

Any single time someone dies, any single time someone dies, everyone's already on the phone, actually who's getting the land?

Everyone's already got issues with 1 another.

And who's going to be the person that's going to inherit this tomorrow.

You see, there was someone, close family friend, I'm not gonna mention who, but they went to a funeral in this country.

So everybody turned up to the funeral, and as they're burying their father, non-Muslims by the way, non-Muslims.

As they're burying their father, the siblings at the burial found out that their father gave their money, his inheritance to his brother, to their uncle.

Before they lowered the grave into the ground, the siblings, the sons of that deceased man killed their own uncle at the graveyard over the money that their father passed on.

This is what happens when you attach your heart to this dunya.

You see the Prophet Muhammad salallahu alayhi wasalam when the angel came to him they gave him 2 options.

When I mention the Prophet Muhammad every single 1 of you should say, Sallallahu alayhi wasallam.

This is my Prophet, Sallallahu alayhi wasallam.

The man that was a humble servant that prayed for you during the night and the man that defended Islam and defended those that come after him with or without the sword.

That's your prophet, salallahu alayhi wa sallam.

The man that took care of his family, The man that took care of his family, the man that took care of the old and the young, but at the same time the man that was a beast on the battlefield, he is peace be upon him.

But like I said to you, that's your first relationship, deen of Allah, whatever comes with it.

Your second relationship is with your family.

I'm slacking myself, I'm not going to lie to you.

I need to better myself in my relationship to every single sibling, to my wife, to my kids.

But most importantly, more important than your relationship with your family, but I mention it last as the third relationship out of Respect for the family, but it's not more important than your relationship with Allah or whatever comes with the deen, is your relationship with yourself.

Are you the man that likes to draw people closer to Allah or further away from Allah?

Are you the man that reminds people when to pray?

You see let me make it clear to you and this is something I wrote down the other day.

If you have these 3 things, these 3 relationships but at the same time you have the 3 C's, the 3 C's in your life.

Good friends, those that remind you of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

Be comfortable with what Allah has given you.

Do not look at someone to think that you want what they have.

It is from a Muslim that you love for your brother what you love for yourself.

You want a mansion for yourself, you must love it for your brother.

You want a car for yourself, you must love it for your brother.

You want a car for yourself you must love it for your brother.

them Jordans for yourself, you must love it for your brother even though I hate that sign like this.

That Dior, Dior, that Gucci, whatever it may be, you must love it for your brother.

What you love for yourself, it's your comfort in this dunya.

Allah has allocated it to be a gift to you.

If there was a nation that did not sin, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will remove that nation and He will replace it with a nation that sins and repents to Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala So no matter how much you've seen my brother I can come back to Allah the thousands and thousands and thousands of steps you've taken away from Allah I think it takes 1 step to turn back to him You've disobeyed him but Allah still feeds you.

You've disobeyed him and Allah still clothes you.

You've disobeyed him and Allah still makes you wake up every single day to say another day another blessing alhamdulillah.

Now look at the mercy of Allah SWT when it comes to the man that worshipped Allah for 500 years.

For those of you that know, for those of you that don't know, a Ramadan is meant to benefit the believers.

If it doesn't benefit you, like I said to you, the door's over there.

I think we try to open this door as well, inshallah.

The man that worshipped Allah for 500 years, 500 years of Ibadah, Ibadah.

The man, when he stood in front of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala told him, go into my Jannah through my mercy.

He decides to argue with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and says, Ya Allah I worshipped you for 500 years, I want to enter your Jannah because I worshipped you for 500 years sin free.

He turned to Allah, obedient to Allah for 500 years.

Then Allah SWT because of his arrogance told the angels to bring the scales here the angels brought the scales and he said put the 500 years of worship on 1 side of the scale and just being able to see with 1 eye, with 1 eye on the other side, just the blessings of that, that outweighed 500 years of worship.

So Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala told him to enter him into Jahannam.

Then he decided to come to his senses, Ya Allah, forgive me, forgive me.

You are the most merciful, Ya Allah, forgive me for my mistakes.

I want to enter Jannah through your mercy And then Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala ordered the angels to take him into Jannah So I'm gonna ask you again my dear respected brothers and sisters Do you want Jannah?

Say again bro Claim it ya akhi The same way you claim that car that you got parked outside, qasmi bro.

That's the noises they do yeah so you were the same way you claim that car and you took pride in that car claim the Dean of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala like that today Start with yourself because we're so busy blaming the scholars, we're so busy blaming the people of knowledge, our Imams, the Muslim leaders.

They're gonna be accounted for every single position that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gifted to them But what about the position that he gave to you?

You're so busy pointing fingers at them and let me tell you something It's from a Muslim when you do not concern yourself, you don't get involved in things that doesn't concern you my brother.

We live in a time and age, the likes and the shares and the followers that you have online is what gives the man a status in our society.

Our real status is the people of knowledge.

And it's a shame that when they come from abroad to come and give the rules in this country, there's a handful of brothers, then you've got wastemen like me that come and stand in front of you and we've got a full house.

I'm gonna speak for myself not no 1 else that's gonna come on this panel.

Why are we giving priority to a wasteman like me?

When the scholars that dedicated their whole life to the Deen of Allah and the knowledge.

And let me make it clear to my brothers and my sisters here, as your brother, if I make my mistakes, Ahi, come and correct me.

As your brother, come and fix me and put me in my place.

This is why I've got to give a big shout out to our Sheikh Murtaza Khan, our Sheikh Abu Taymiyya.

The other day, Mufti Megh took me into a private room.

At the same time, a big shout out to my beloved Sheikh Imam Shakeel.

This is a man that put himself out there and squashed and defused any type of beef that was killing on both sides And these are the people that we need to go to bro I get thousands of thousands of messages.

I don't know why you're coming to me, I'm not your therapist.

Because the only company you have in this world, that is the company of Allah SWT.

And the only vision you have in this world is the vision of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the only comfort you have in this world other than your grave is the Quran.

It's the Quran and if your Quran has rust on it, sorry if your Quran has dust on it, then you have failed as a Muslim.

If your salah has rust on it, get that DW40 whatever it's called and make that into an interpretation of being making your wudhu.

So if your salah has rust on it, perfect your wudu and start praying.

Because we connected to this dunya and the likes of it.

Now 1 day we're all going through trials and tribulations so I'm going to make 1 more dua inshaAllah wa ta'ala.

I don't want every single 1 of us to say Ameen.

Some of you are like, why am I saying Ameen?

May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala grant us all shifa, Ameen.

Because every single 1 of us is sick in 1 way or another.

Some of us mentally, physically, spiritually, financially, verbally.

And we turn to a paracetamol to get that little buzz and mask it.

Because these little talks as Abu Taymiyyah mentions, these little talks are like a paracetamol, they're a little buzz that takes you from there to that door.

But it's what you do beyond that door that counts with your lives, inshaAllah.
