1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,399 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 2 00:00:03,399 --> 00:00:11,589 Within the embrace of Allah, happiness pours into the hearts. 3 00:00:11,589 --> 00:00:15,689 Increase your closeness to the Most Merciful. 4 00:00:15,689 --> 00:00:18,690 The Muhammad Ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz al-Musa Mosque, 5 00:00:18,690 --> 00:00:21,690 through the Badi' [organization], presents 6 00:00:21,690 --> 00:00:24,690 "The Musk of Discourse," 7 00:00:24,690 --> 00:00:27,690 by Sheikh Usama Bahr, may Allah preserve him. 8 00:00:27,690 --> 00:00:34,689 Everyone who obeys the Lord dissolves into the sweetest feeling. 9 00:00:34,689 --> 00:00:37,689 Act quickly before you are overtaken. 10 00:00:37,689 --> 00:00:43,380 Take the initiative yourself and do not wait for your fate, 11 00:00:43,380 --> 00:00:46,380 for you do not know when it will come. 12 00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:49,380 Do not look at the smallness of the sin, 13 00:00:49,380 --> 00:00:52,380 but look at the greatness of the One you have disobeyed. 14 00:00:52,380 --> 00:00:55,539 He is Allah, the Creator, the First, 15 00:00:55,539 --> 00:00:58,539 the Originator of all beginnings, 16 00:00:58,539 --> 00:01:01,539 and the Last, who remains after all endings. 17 00:01:01,539 --> 00:01:04,790 Whoever contemplates the greatness and majesty of Allah 18 00:01:04,790 --> 00:01:08,790 will honor His sacred boundaries and esteem Him as He deserves to be esteemed. 19 00:01:08,790 --> 00:01:11,790 He will revere His commands and prohibitions, 20 00:01:11,790 --> 00:01:14,790 and will consider his own sin grave, even if it is small, 21 00:01:14,790 --> 00:01:17,790 for it is like a mountain 22 00:01:17,790 --> 00:01:20,790 that he fears will fall upon him and destroy him. 23 00:01:20,790 --> 00:01:23,790 His heart is as if it were between the wings of a bird [trembling with awe]. 24 00:01:23,790 --> 00:01:26,790 You find him broken-hearted, 25 00:01:26,790 --> 00:01:29,790 with flowing tears, 26 00:01:29,790 --> 00:01:32,819 finding a lesson in every event. 27 00:01:32,819 --> 00:01:35,819 So act quickly, and beware of the minor sins, 28 00:01:35,819 --> 00:01:38,819 for they have one who will demand them from Allah. 29 00:01:38,819 --> 00:01:41,950 Act quickly to return grievances 30 00:01:41,950 --> 00:01:44,950 to their rightful owners or seek their absolution, 31 00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:47,950 and ask for their forgiveness, 32 00:01:47,950 --> 00:01:51,299 for repentance is not complete without that. 33 00:01:51,299 --> 00:01:54,299 It has been authentically reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, 34 00:01:54,299 --> 00:01:57,299 said: "Rights will surely be restored 35 00:01:57,299 --> 00:02:00,299 to their owners on the Day of Resurrection, 36 00:02:00,299 --> 00:02:03,299 until the hornless sheep is satisfied 37 00:02:03,299 --> 00:02:06,370 by the horned sheep." 38 00:02:06,370 --> 00:02:09,370 He, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, also said: 39 00:02:09,370 --> 00:02:12,370 "Whoever has committed an injustice against his brother, 40 00:02:12,370 --> 00:02:15,370 let him seek his absolution today, 41 00:02:15,370 --> 00:02:18,370 before there is neither dirham nor dinar." 42 00:02:18,370 --> 00:02:21,370 If he has good deeds, [they will be taken], 43 00:02:22,370 --> 00:02:25,370 and if he has no good deeds, 44 00:02:25,370 --> 00:02:28,370 the sins of his counterpart will be taken 45 00:02:28,370 --> 00:02:31,530 and cast upon him. 46 00:02:31,530 --> 00:02:34,530 In the Hadith Qudsi, 47 00:02:34,530 --> 00:02:37,530 Allah says on the Day of Resurrection: 48 00:02:37,530 --> 00:02:40,530 "I am the King, I am the Judge." 49 00:02:40,530 --> 00:02:43,530 It is not fitting for anyone among the people of Paradise 50 00:02:43,530 --> 00:02:46,719 to enter Paradise 51 00:02:46,719 --> 00:02:49,780 while someone else has a grievance against him, even a slap, 52 00:02:49,780 --> 00:02:52,780 because on the Day of Resurrection, 53 00:02:52,780 --> 00:02:56,069 you will dispute before your Lord. 54 00:02:56,069 --> 00:02:59,069 When death approached 'Ubada Ibn al-Samit, 55 00:02:59,069 --> 00:03:02,069 may Allah be pleased with him, he said: "Bring out 56 00:03:02,069 --> 00:03:05,069 my bed to the courtyard of the house." 57 00:03:05,069 --> 00:03:08,069 They brought it out, and he said: 58 00:03:08,069 --> 00:03:11,069 "Gather for me my dependents, my servants, 59 00:03:11,069 --> 00:03:14,069 my neighbors, and those who used to visit me." 60 00:03:14,069 --> 00:03:17,069 They gathered them for him, 61 00:03:17,069 --> 00:03:20,069 and he said: "My time in this world is coming to an end, 62 00:03:20,069 --> 00:03:23,069 and this night is the first night of the Hereafter. 63 00:03:23,069 --> 00:03:26,069 I do not know 64 00:03:26,069 --> 00:03:29,069 if I have committed any wrong against any of you 65 00:03:29,069 --> 00:03:32,069 with my hand or my tongue. 66 00:03:32,069 --> 00:03:35,069 By Him in whose hand is the soul of 'Ubada, 67 00:03:35,069 --> 00:03:38,169 there is retribution on the Day of Resurrection. 68 00:03:38,169 --> 00:03:41,169 I adjure anyone among you who feels 69 00:03:41,169 --> 00:03:44,169 that I have wronged him in any way to come forward." 70 00:03:45,169 --> 00:03:48,169 They all wept and cried out, saying: 71 00:03:48,169 --> 00:03:51,169 "Rather, you were a father, 72 00:03:51,169 --> 00:03:54,169 a teacher, and a guide to us." 73 00:03:54,169 --> 00:03:57,169 He said: "You offer me tears, 74 00:03:57,169 --> 00:04:00,169 but what good are tears? Have you forgiven me?" 75 00:04:00,169 --> 00:04:03,169 They cried out and said: "Yes." 76 00:04:03,169 --> 00:04:06,169 He said: "O Allah, bear witness. 77 00:04:06,169 --> 00:04:09,169 O Allah, bear witness. 78 00:04:09,169 --> 00:04:12,169 O Allah, bear witness. 79 00:04:12,169 --> 00:04:15,169 I bear witness that there is no god but Allah." 80 00:04:15,169 --> 00:04:18,459 Then he met Allah. 81 00:04:18,459 --> 00:04:21,459 If only people today, 82 00:04:21,459 --> 00:04:24,459 whose records are full of grievances, 83 00:04:24,459 --> 00:04:27,519 would look as 'Ubada Ibn al-Samit looked. 84 00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:30,519 So, it is about taking the initiative before 85 00:04:30,519 --> 00:04:33,620 the end comes. Act quickly with repentance 86 00:04:33,620 --> 00:04:36,620 and return grievances to their owners 87 00:04:36,620 --> 00:04:40,420 before you are overtaken. 88 00:04:43,579 --> 00:04:46,579 Happiness is in the hearts. 89 00:04:46,579 --> 00:04:49,579 Increase your closeness 90 00:04:49,579 --> 00:04:52,579 to the Most Merciful, so that 91 00:04:52,579 --> 00:04:55,579 joy may embrace you. 92 00:04:55,579 --> 00:04:58,579 Attach your soul 93 00:04:58,579 --> 00:05:01,579 to your Lord and fill 94 00:05:01,579 --> 00:05:04,800 the horizons with light. 95 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,800 For whoever obeys the Lord 96 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,800 dissolves into the sweetest feeling. 97 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,019 There is darkness, then light, 98 00:05:14,019 --> 00:05:17,019 and revelation follows it. 99 00:05:17,019 --> 00:05:20,019 If Allah wills 100 00:05:20,019 --> 00:05:23,019 a thing, He says to it, 101 00:05:23,019 --> 00:05:26,019 "Be," and it is.
