WEBVTT

00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:03.399
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:00:15.689 --> 00:00:18.690
The Muhammad Ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz al-Musa Mosque

00:00:18.690 --> 00:00:19.690
in al-Badi'

00:00:19.690 --> 00:00:21.690
presents

00:00:21.690 --> 00:00:24.690
Musk al-Khitab

00:00:24.690 --> 00:00:26.690
by Sheikh Usama Bahr,

00:00:26.690 --> 00:00:28.690
may Allah preserve him.

00:00:30.690 --> 00:00:32.689
"The time for sleep has passed, O Khadijah."

00:00:32.689 --> 00:00:34.689
Seriousness in life

00:00:34.689 --> 00:00:36.689
is a fundamental requirement.

00:00:36.689 --> 00:00:38.689
For the more a person is

00:00:38.689 --> 00:00:43.500
serious in their work,

00:00:43.500 --> 00:00:45.729
the more confident and successful they become.

00:00:45.729 --> 00:00:47.729
As for the hesitant person,

00:00:47.729 --> 00:00:49.729
you will find them lacking confidence

00:00:49.729 --> 00:00:51.859
in themselves,

00:00:51.859 --> 00:00:53.859
and they often see failure

00:00:53.859 --> 00:00:55.859
looming before them.

00:00:55.859 --> 00:00:57.859
The noble

00:00:57.859 --> 00:00:59.859
Qur'anic verse

00:00:59.859 --> 00:01:02.020
finds them,

00:01:02.020 --> 00:01:04.019
and the noble Qur'anic verse comes

00:01:04.019 --> 00:01:06.019
to say:

00:01:06.019 --> 00:01:08.019
"So when you have finished, then stand up [for worship]."

00:01:08.019 --> 00:01:10.019
It addresses

00:01:10.019 --> 00:01:12.019
the Messenger, peace be upon him,

00:01:12.019 --> 00:01:14.019
regarding seriousness and diligence

00:01:14.019 --> 00:01:16.019
in the call to Allah.

00:01:16.019 --> 00:01:18.019
Through this, it emphasizes the extent of seriousness

00:01:18.019 --> 00:01:20.079
in one's work.

00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:22.079
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, says

00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:24.079
to Khadijah:

00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:26.079
"The time for sleep has passed, O

00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:28.269
Khadijah."

00:01:28.269 --> 00:01:30.269
Indeed, seriousness is the fuel for work;

00:01:30.269 --> 00:01:32.340
for work comes to a halt without seriousness,

00:01:32.340 --> 00:01:34.340
just as

00:01:34.340 --> 00:01:36.340
a machine stops without fuel.

00:01:36.340 --> 00:01:38.780
Among the evidence

00:01:38.780 --> 00:01:40.780
of seriousness in work

00:01:40.780 --> 00:01:42.780
is what happened on the day of Badr,

00:01:42.780 --> 00:01:44.780
when there came to the Messenger of Allah,

00:01:44.780 --> 00:01:46.780
peace be upon him,

00:01:46.780 --> 00:01:48.780
two young boys, Samurah

00:01:48.780 --> 00:01:50.780
Ibn Jundub and Rafi'

00:01:50.780 --> 00:01:52.780
Ibn Khadij, may Allah be pleased with

00:01:52.780 --> 00:01:54.780
them both, asking him

00:01:54.780 --> 00:01:56.780
to join the army

00:01:56.780 --> 00:01:58.780
of the Muslims. However,

00:01:58.780 --> 00:02:00.780
the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:02:00.780 --> 00:02:02.780
turned them away due to their young age.

00:02:02.780 --> 00:02:04.780
Samurah said,

00:02:04.780 --> 00:02:06.780
"O Messenger of Allah,

00:02:06.780 --> 00:02:08.780
I am skilled with arrows,

00:02:08.780 --> 00:02:10.780
and my aim does not miss."

00:02:10.780 --> 00:02:12.780
He then shot an arrow before the Messenger of Allah,

00:02:12.780 --> 00:02:14.780
peace be upon him,

00:02:14.780 --> 00:02:16.780
and hit the target,

00:02:16.780 --> 00:02:18.780
so the Messenger of Allah,

00:02:18.780 --> 00:02:20.780
peace be upon him, accepted him.

00:02:20.780 --> 00:02:22.780
Then Rafi' said,

00:02:22.780 --> 00:02:24.780
"O Messenger of Allah,

00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:26.780
I can wrestle Samurah,"

00:02:26.780 --> 00:02:31.780
and he wrestled him before the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and threw him to the ground,

00:02:31.780 --> 00:02:34.849
so he accepted him into the army.

00:02:34.849 --> 00:02:40.849
They used to tie their swords to their hands with rags because of their young age.

00:02:40.849 --> 00:02:44.460
This is the seriousness we seek today,

00:02:44.460 --> 00:02:47.460
in the face of the lethargy and laziness of youth

00:02:47.460 --> 00:02:53.460
who have become accustomed to finding all their demands and desires provided for them

00:02:53.460 --> 00:02:56.460
without the slightest effort or diligence.

00:02:56.460 --> 00:02:59.460
To such young people, we say:

00:02:59.460 --> 00:03:02.460
"The time for sleep has passed, O Khadijah."

00:03:02.460 --> 00:03:11.159
In the presence of Allah, happiness pours into the hearts.

00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:19.159
Increase your closeness to the Most Merciful so that joy may embrace you.

00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:27.159
Attach your soul to your Lord and fill the surroundings with light.

00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:35.349
Whoever obeys the Almighty dissolves into the sweetest feeling.

00:03:35.349 --> 00:03:43.539
Darkness, then light, and revelation follows it;

00:03:43.539 --> 00:03:52.539
if Allah wills a thing, He says "Be," and it comes to be.
