Preaching I

Muslims Rahimakumullah, 

started this short circumcision, Khatib to all of us, especially to the personal khatib to always try to improve our piety and faith to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala by exercising all obligations and refrain from all that forbidden and banned.

The Muslim ma'asyiral Rahimakumullah, we planted in the heart that if all mankind and jinn unite to make us wretched, then they will not be able to harm us unless God requires it.

Similarly if all mankind and jinn unite to benefit us, they will not benefit us unless God determines it. Therefore, let us surrender all matters to Allaah and we believe full to him. Whatever God wills to happen, surely will happen, and anything that God does not, surely will never happen.

Ma'asyiral Muslims Rahimakumullah, let us remember always that we are now not in heaven, but we are in the life of the world. As we know that the world is a place of various calamities and Bala '. This world is very much of a power, bringing about danger and eventually passes. Let us laugh at God and be patient for the calamity that God has tested upon us. Do not let us protest or blame God.

Allah Ta'ala said:

لَا يُسْأَلُ عَمَّا يَفْعَلُ وَهُمْ يُسْأَلُونَ - الأنبياء: ٢٣  

The meaning: "Allah is not asked about what he does, but the servants who will be asked" (QS al Anbiya ': 23)

Allah Subhabahu wa Ta'ala is the creator and owner of everything. God does anything in his dominion according to what he wills. Let us be patient as instructed by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala in the Qur'an:

وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الْخَوْفِ وَالْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِنَ الْأَمْوَالِ وَالْأَنْفُسِ وَالثَّمَرَاتِ وَبَشِّرِ الصَّابِرِينَ (١٥٥) الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ قَالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ (١٥٦)- البقرة: ١٥٥-١٥٦

What it means: "And we will surely test you with little fear, hunger, lack of property, soul, and fruit. And give glad tidings to those who are patient, (i.e.) those who, when struck by calamity, say "Inna Lillahi wa Inna Ilaihi raji'un" (Indeed, we belong to Allah and in whom we return to be given) "

My brother is a faith, if we are affected, let us emulate the Rasulullah shallallah ' alaihi wa sallam in his patience.

Al-Bukhari narrated in Saheeh from his friend Anas ibn Malik Radliyallahu ' anhu that he entered with the Rasulullah shallallah ' alaihi wa sallam to see his son named Ibrahim when Sakratul maut.  Rasulullah shallallah ' alaihi wa sallam then take it and kiss him.

Then after that we looked again and then Abraham had taken his life. The Prophet's eyes also drain tears. ' Abdurrahman ibn ' Auf Radliyallahu ' Anhu said to him, "You cry, ya Rasulullahah? Rasulullah shallallah ' alaihi wa sallam answered, "Oh ibn ' Auf, what a sense of affection.  The Prophet again shed tears and said:

إِنَّ العَيْنَ تَدْمَعُ، وَالقَلْبَ يَحْزَنُ، وَلاَ نَقُولُ إِلَّا مَا يَرْضَى رَبُّنَا، وَإِنَّا بِفِرَاقِكَ يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ لَمَحْزُوْنُوْنَ

The meaning: "Really this eye shed tears, the heart grieved, but we do not say except what Allah Ridhai, and we really sad because of the part with you, ya Ibrahim." 

Ma’asyiral Muslimin rahimakumullah

Allah ta'ala in the Qur'an has sworn in the letter of al-Balad that man was created with various difficulties of life, laborious and fatigue. Allah Ta'ala said:

  لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ فِي كَبَدٍ (البلد: )٤

Its meaning: "Truly, we have created human beings in painstakingly" (QS al Balad: 4). The difficulty that a man first experienced was when his belly cord was cut, then when fastened to his body so he felt discomfort and was the move. 

Then he felt difficulties while breastfeeding to his mother. If he were not breastfeeding, he would be displaced and starving. Then he felt pain when he grew his teeth. After that he will have difficulty when disaped, exceeding the pain hit by the blow. 

Then he felt the pain of being circumcision. After going through it all, he will face the teacher who he is a pastor, galvanizing him and sometimes punishment him.   After that, he will be preoccupied with marriage preparations and busy with work every day to support his family.

Then he will be busy with the affairs of children and Wives. Then be busy with building houses and equipping them with various household furniture. After that, it will enter old age, weak body and some limbs not functioning properly. Not to mention various diseases that can at times attack him, flu: headache, toothache, heart pain, lung pain, virus-infected and so forth.

In addition to the burden of life such as debt, nod of instalment, reviled people, talked about the clarity and so forth. Until the time comes the great Sakratul death of his Sicke. After the last breath, does it end all its difficulties?.

No, no attendees.

After that, he will enter the Barzakh nature and nature of the hereafter. There are questions of the Angel Munkar and Nakir. There is a hisab. There is a trip past the Shirath. Until the end of that determination, whether he will feel a variety of pleasures of heaven or he will be miserable in hell.

Brethren of the Faith

Wherefore, let us perform all the commandments of Allah. Let us have a message and a will to hold fast with righteousness and patience.

Let us be patient for the calamities and the hosts that befall us. Do not let us come to Allah because of the calamity that befalls us. Lest the calamity and the difficulties of life cause us to violate the rules of Allah.

Let us not protest against Allah when exposed to the gods and the calamities. Let us be patient and continuously carry out our obligations and keep away from things forbidden in any circumstance, weighing whatever the problems we face.

Ma’asyiral Muslimin rahimakumullah,

If our hearts are sad because of the affliction, if our chest is crowded with various difficulties of life, one remedy that will calm our hearts and minds is to go to the tomb. We have a pilgrimage to the grave of our parents, family and friends. We ponder there, where is our last home. Where are we going to leave this world.

Be aware that if the value of this world is comparable to one wing of a mosquito, Allah will not give to any infidels even if there is a sip of water in this world.

That is, the world is no value at all according to Allah. The world is no value at all compared to the afterlife. The world is a prison for the perfect man of his faith and is heaven for unbelievers.   The most valuable and most important thing for us-beyond anything in the world-is to die by bringing Islam and perfect faith.

My brethren,

Whatever the food we eat, it will surely become dirt. It is as expensive as what we wear, in the end it will surely be thrown into the trash. As for and as late as any house we build, surely we will not take it dead. Our last House is all the same size, not more than 1 x 2 meters. 

As for what we do in this world, then we will get the reward. Death is the certainty established by Allah. Parting with the people we love in this world is God's promise that must be fulfilled. Life in this world of beginnings is kedla'ifan and weakness and ends with death and graveyard.

Let us be patient with the hosts that God has tested upon us. Lest we protest and blame God. We believe that on every occasion there is a certain wisdom. 

The Allah-possessed audience,

This is so short. Hopefully useful and bring barakah to all of us. Amen Ya Rabbal ' Alamin.

أَقُوْلُ قَوْلِيْ هٰذَا وَأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ لِيْ وَلَكُمْ، فَاسْتَغْفِرُوْهُ، إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُوْرُ الرَّحِيْمُ.
