Musk al-Khitab
0:24
by Sheikh Usama Bahr,
0:26
may Allah preserve him.
0:30
"The time for sleep has passed, O Khadijah."
0:32
Seriousness in life
0:34
is a fundamental requirement.
0:36
For the more a person is
0:38
serious in their work,
0:43
the more confident and successful they become.
0:45
As for the hesitant person,
0:47
you will find them lacking confidence
0:49
in themselves,
0:51
and they often see failure
0:53
looming before them.
0:55
The noble
0:57
Qur'anic verse
0:59
finds them,
1:02
and the noble Qur'anic verse comes
1:04
to say:
1:06
"So when you have finished, then stand up [for worship]."
1:08
It addresses
1:10
the Messenger, peace be upon him,
1:12
regarding seriousness and diligence
1:14
in the call to Allah.
1:16
Through this, it emphasizes the extent of seriousness
1:18
in one's work.
1:20
The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, says
1:22
to Khadijah:
1:24
"The time for sleep has passed, O
1:26
Khadijah."
1:28
Indeed, seriousness is the fuel for work;
1:30
for work comes to a halt without seriousness,
1:32
just as
1:34
a machine stops without fuel.
1:36
Among the evidence
1:38
of seriousness in work
1:40
is what happened on the day of Badr,
1:42
when there came to the Messenger of Allah,
1:44
peace be upon him,
1:46
two young boys, Samurah
1:48
Ibn Jundub and Rafi'
1:50
Ibn Khadij, may Allah be pleased with
1:52
them both, asking him
1:54
to join the army
1:56
of the Muslims. However,
1:58
the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,
2:00
turned them away due to their young age.
2:02
Samurah said,
2:04
"O Messenger of Allah,
2:06
I am skilled with arrows,
2:08
and my aim does not miss."
2:10
He then shot an arrow before the Messenger of Allah,
2:12
peace be upon him,
2:14
and hit the target,
2:16
so the Messenger of Allah,
2:18
peace be upon him, accepted him.
2:20
Then Rafi' said,
2:22
"O Messenger of Allah,
2:24
I can wrestle Samurah,"
2:26
and he wrestled him before the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and threw him to the ground,
2:31
so he accepted him into the army.
2:34
They used to tie their swords to their hands with rags because of their young age.
2:40
This is the seriousness we seek today,
2:44
in the face of the lethargy and laziness of youth
2:47
who have become accustomed to finding all their demands and desires provided for them
2:53
without the slightest effort or diligence.
2:56
To such young people, we say:
2:59
"The time for sleep has passed, O Khadijah."
3:02
In the presence of Allah, happiness pours into the hearts.
3:11
Increase your closeness to the Most Merciful so that joy may embrace you.
3:19
Attach your soul to your Lord and fill the surroundings with light.
3:27
Whoever obeys the Almighty dissolves into the sweetest feeling.
3:35
Darkness, then light, and revelation follows it;
3:43
if Allah wills a thing, He says "Be," and it comes to be.
