The Dead Heart by Mohamed Hoblos

[Music] [Music] my dear respected brothers and sisters we start first and foremost by praising allah the king the master the creator the source the essence he is the one that gives life he is the one that takes life he is the one that sustains everything depends on him he depends on nothing everyone relies on him he relies on nobody we praise allah and we say that all praise is due to allah because praising anything other than allah is injustice towards allah you imagine the one that creates and then i praise the creation where's the logic so all peace and blessings all praises you to allah and we send peace and blessings upon his beloved and his favorite and the best creation of his and that is our master muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam my dear respected brothers and sisters i remind myself and i remind you all to have fear of allah the fear that he is most deserving of the fear of allah my brothers is different to the fear of anything else because the fear of anything else when i feel something i naturally run away from this thing that i feel but the fear of allah is different because allah says he says and run run way he says run to allah that's the fear of allah that i run back to him i don't run away from him my dear respected brothers there is a beautiful story that i want to share with you and i'm sure i'm sure most of you have heard this story is mentioned in alas it was made famous by no other than made famous by no other than estes and the story has it that jesus is was traveling with his companions he was traveling with his companions so they got hungry so they collected some money and he gave some money to one of his companions and he says to the companion he says to him go into the town and buy us some food so this companion grabs the money goes into town and all that the money could buy was three loaves of bread but his hunger was so much so that he couldn't wait to get back so he smashed one of the loaves came back with two so when he comes back to isa alaihi salatu salam jesus says to me sister who ate the third loaf the man to his are a shark system but there was only two so he didn't argue with the man they traveled after some time they were successful in hunting adi they hunted the deer they killed it they cooked it they ate it and as they sat around this carcass as they sat around whatever was left of it which was basically bones he gave life back to the deer and the deer came back to life and ran away and this happened in front of them he turns to the man and says i'm asking you by the one who gave life to this d who ate that third life the man insisted he says but there was only two so they didn't argue and they continued as they traveled they came to what was a flooded river a river that they had to cross so they get to the flooded river and isla is his companions he says let's all gather and we'll all hold hands and he asked allah and by the kudra of allah he allowed them to walk on the surface of the river then they get to the other side and this was a miracle so he turns to the man and he says i'm asking you by the one that allowed us to walk on the face of this river who ate that third loaf the man insisting he says but there was only two they continued on after they reached they reached a particular area he sits down and he collects three piles of the three piles of the and then through allah he turns the he turns the dirt into gold so he says to the man he system one pile is for you one pile is for me and that third pile is for the one that ate the third loaf of bread so the man immediately jumps and said i ate it he said he said i ate it he says then you take all three but you can no longer accompany us anymore this is where our journey ends so the man now overtaken by his new fortune couldn't kill us so he sits back and he's looking at his new found fortune not long after three thieves three three thieves came they see the man with the gold and the first thing that came was they killed the man there's gold three of us there's one of him so they killed the men but they were hungry too so they spoke amongst one another and one of them said listen i'll go into town and i'll grab some food the other agrees the other two agreed so the man took off heading in towards town and he's planning against the other two the other two said this is a perfect opportunity to plan against him so he says i'll go into town i'll buy some food and i'll poison it. the other two said look on his return will kill him and will split his share in half so the man goes into town buys the food poisons the food on his return before he could do anything they killed him they sat to eat their food and soon after they both died some time passed and then isa alaihi salat was walking along with his companions walks back and sees all four men lying on the ground their former companion and the three thieves and the three piles of gold were left untouched so he turns to his companions and he says this is the life of this world this is hayata dunya it was the love of this world that destroyed all four and it is the love of this world that is destroying every single one of us in this room today especially the man that stands before you so no brother me older i don't love wealth allah says in the quran [Music] allah says verily you love wealth you're clinging on we're clinging on to rubbish we're clinging on to that which will be left we're hanging on to that which will go nowhere and it's killing every single one of us he says he says three things will follow you to the grave he says three things will follow you my brother to the grave he says your family your wealth and your amen he says two things will come back and only one thing will remain with you there brother paint the how you want this is the reality because rasulullah he doesn't speak from his own vain desires rather what he speaks is revelation from allah and you try this i've tried it many times when you go to the funeral and i remember asking myself how does your wealth follow you to the grave so i remember one time someone in the area no need to mention names some big timer was shot and naturally the only at the mosque or the boys or the tats or the big gold chains the gucci hats the lamborghini gallardo parked outside and this all followed him to the grave the money went the louis vuitton shoes and the and the you know and the brightly watchers with the diamond bezels and so all of this followed the man to the grave they buried the man 20 minutes later everyone's walking away and sure where we're going to go eat what are we going to do the family sat there made dua couple of tears walked back and what was he left with my brother nothing he was left with nothing he was left with his arm if he did good he will verily see and if he did bad he will surely see my brothers the love of this world walla it's crippling us how long and you know in and out and lessons and sitting with my shaykh and whatever have you but even on the day of arafat i struggled i absolutely struggled to get a tea just one tea i want something to fall nothing because this heart can only take so much and this heart instead of filling it up with the love of allah i filled that up with the love of this dunya so i'll give you an example i want you to imagine now one of the brothers bought a mercedes-benz bought a brand new car whatever it is bought a brand new car parked it in the driveway and the next morning car's gone so automatically we're going to ask brother you insured and we're holding on to the reply if he says yes alhamdulillah if he says no yeah your heart is going to burn so when the brother says you know brother the mercedes-benz wasn't insured oh my heart oh you could just cry but the brother's been missing fajr for 10 years and you haven't moved an inch because of it rasulullah sallam he says not fajr forget fajr he says the sunnah of fajr the sunnah is worth more than the world and what it contains and the ummah is missing it day after day day after day no problems it's only sunnah but if a piece of metal wrapped around some fancy leather if that was to be taken away from the man that hurts why because this heart my brother has been filled with the love of this world and it hasn't been filled with the love of allah we understand the value of the mercedes-benz we understand the value of a breitling watch i understand the value of a gucci hair but i have nothing absolutely nothing no understanding no comprehension whatsoever for the way of muhammad sallam that's why it's easy that's why it's easy you know today naturally gaza whatever's happening you know you have to touch on gaza well i i don't know how to speak politics i really cannot comprehend it what do i like really where do i start where do i start to talk to you about gaza if the heart that's going to tell you about gaza is indulged in this dunya then what chance is there for gaza if the people that are going to be listening about what's happening to gaza are swimming absolutely swimming in the love of this world then what chance does gaza forget gaza anything else in the world have a chance nothing he's sitting down with his companions and my brother really ani let's just sort of give me your heart give me your mind and your imagination and let's try to live the moment let's try to live the moment sitting there with his companions and rasulullah and the companions they say that we were given the quality of fear the distance of one month the distance of one month their enemy would be marching and they still have a month to reach the muslims and already the fear of the muslims would enter their hearts already the muslims were generally speaking generally speaking outnumbered right the enemy always had more men more advanced men more trained men more military weaponry more money more technology more everything and yet with just the thought of having to face the muslims the fear is to enter their heart the distance of one month so you imagine rasulullah is speaking to a people who knew very well who knew but imagine khalid bin walid a man who the christians or the kafir at the time they used to scare their kids you know like now when you you know you know i'm going to call bradley or whatever it is you want to scare your kid with something right and we'll do this what i'm going to call they used to scare their kids with khalid bin walid a woman was summonsed to see him he summons the woman to come see him he was amir al-mu'min he needed to speak to the woman so the people came to her and said look is asking for you so she says oh my what does he want from me they said we don't know he wants to talk to you so she started to panic she says but why me what does he want to speak to me for they said we don't know he's asking on the way to say um she lost her baby she was pregnant she lost him the fear of having to stand before the man who was muslim and she was muslim the fear of she lost her baby so you imagine that speaking to these men he says that there's going to come a time there's going to come a time when the enemies of allah will come together like you come towards a sufra have you ever been to a fancy dinner nice big sufra you know the mint surf the roast the chicken the pizza he says they will come like you go towards the suffra and they will sit and the conversation will be you take this part of the ummah and you take this part of the ummah and i'll do this with that and i'll do so the companions were amazed we a prophet of allah we the muslims this will happen to us the enemies will come together in this fashion says yes so one of them naturally couldn't comprehend so he jumps up his system a prophet of allah and his thinking already we're little in number and we're smashing we're little in number and we're dominating so he's thinking a prophet of allah will we be that little are we going to be so few in number that we can't even defend ourselves he says no no no no no no he says you will be heaps in fact he gives the example of the froth of the sea millions upon millions millions of muslims i don't know 1.6 1.7 billion is that even a figure anymore 1.7 billion so the companions allahu akbar like you're putting salt to the wound so you're telling us we're great in number yet this is still going to happen so they asked why a prophet of allah why is this going to happen he says because verily one will enter the heart so this word is not an arab term so the companions and he looked at each other and said to my prophet of allah what is one what's this one that you're referring to he says when this quality enters your heart when you love this world and what it contains and you cannot even bear the thought of death your enemy will do this to you yeah if if sometimes i think this hadith came out last week it's not 1400 years old it's so relative it's so relative it's almost like rasulullah sarah a week ago he says because the quality of wohan will enter the heart you will love this world and you will hate to die when the muslims were conquering the roman empire imagine imagine these muslims were arabs bedouins they were barbarians they lived in an area that nor the persians nor the romans wanted the iani it was dead no man's land what are you going to do with him the arabs they they they eat the dead what are we going to do with them so when these people started dominating the roman empire naturally the empress thinking what is going on how are we the people that were peasants they were they were nothing how are we the greatest empire the world ever knew how were we losing to these men so he pulls up one of his generals he says what's going on so the general bakus say he says to him do they have more weaponry than us system no he said do they have more money system no he says are they more trained are they more advanced than us he says to no he says then what's going on what's going on how are we losing his system can i speak freely it says to speak for crying out loud we're losing he says how can you destroy an army that loves to die like you love to live how were you going to use scare tactics with where do you start where do you start my brothers the love of this world is crippling this ummah it's crippling us we have forgotten allah and his prophet and we're more concerned with caesar's stone or do you think we should go for granted do you think we should go for granted brother or whatever and i spoke to my wife the other day and and i think we've agreed on this color this heart my brother is crying for allah this heart is crying for allah but we're drowning it with the love of this world we're drowning at my brothers and it's killing us all allah if i can get you guys to move forward because there's brothers standing on the door so please if we can just move forward and show elijah so the brothers can come in brothers please come in please just tell the boys outside too so my brothers i think the golden question now is okay so where to now where do you start my brothers wallahi there's there's got to be a million theories i'm sure if you grabbed a hundred thousand hola ma and told them okay give us a solution i'm sure you're gonna come up with a hundred thousand different solutions my brother's the most practical one that comes to mind is first and foremost we need to start turning towards allah and we need to start making some serious changes in our lives some serious changes we need to turn back to allah and we need to turn back to the dean of allah because rasulallah allah he reveals to muhammad he says he says o muhammad today your religion my religion has been made complete you know a jew came to um he says there's a verse in your quran listen we would have made its day of revelation [Music] i remember hearing this story automatically i started thinking which verse which didn't give him a chance to breathe his system of jew i know which verse you speak of you say you would have made its day of revelation i tell you it's day of revelation is to read for us it was revealed on the day of jummah which is and it was revealed on the one and only hajj of muhammad sallallahu alaihi which is another eight for us he says the verse you speak of is that today your religion has been perfected it's been completed and i have bestowed my my mercy upon you and my favors upon you and i have chosen islam as my way and my religion so why is this verse so important because when allah makes such a statement he's saying that your religion has been perfected whether you live in stone ages whether you live in the rocket ages no matter what ages you live in your answer your solution to whatever harm to whatever whatever mishap whatever difficulty comes your way your answer your solution is the dean of allah and the sunnah of muhammad sallallahu alaihi and if you look and if you turn towards anything else then allah himself will disgrace you don't wait for the duty allah himself is going to disgrace you because you opted for something other than his way you opted for something other than the way of muhammad sallallahu alaihi this allah himself will disgrace you so our answer to any problem be it yourself be it your couple as a you know husband and wife be it as a family be it as a community be as a country be as an ummah at large any problem that comes our way our solution is the dean of allah and his prophet anything else you're going down here paint it however you want we came to change the world we have the answers for the misery of the world but the muslims have left the way of muhammad sallallahu alaihi and they've turned to other means my brothers my time is sure i want to live with this hadith and this hadith in essence speaking about dawah giving dawah but why is this relative you'll understand when i say it he says in the authentic hadith he says well let the nfc be look how he starts automatically he's hit you for a sec rasulallah is taking oath by allah he says by the one whom my life is in his hands does rasulullah need to take an oath does he does he need to study this i mean he says says you will enjoy good and you will forbid that which is evil meaning dawah you will get out there you will be active you will be talking about allah you will be talking about the humility of this world you will be talking about death you will be talking about his prophet you will give dawah you will stop that which is wrong you will you will enjoy that which is good he says he says if you don't do this then verily allah will send down a punishment upon you he says and when this punishment will come upon you you will raise your hands to make dua to him and allah will not accept your dua my brothers there was 5 million people in hajj this year who raised their hands and cried cried cried our allah this ummah our allah syria our allah palestine cried they balled their eyes out yet allah has an answer i want to ask you and excuse me for being a bit vulgar honey is allah death allah can't hear their cries is allah blind allah couldn't see him but there's a condition my brother that you need to fulfill before allah can enter that so my brothers our answer is clearly purely turning back towards the deen of allah and the sunnah of his beloved prophet my dear respected brothers i believe tomorrow is ashura yeah tomorrow is ashura depending on calendar if you go from insiding you'll need to check regardless rasulallah has encouraged the ummah to which is tomorrow of moon sighting then you'll need to check with the moon sighting and he's encouraged us to fast the day before which is today now if some of you haven't fasted then he said you can fast ashura and fast the day after it so you fast saturday and sunday okay and i believe the virtue of this is is he will he he will forgive you one year previous years he will forgive one previous year of sin ashura all right he's going to do this completely something else so my brothers this is happening tomorrow my brother's you now because really what usually happens is we sit for the khutbah masha'allah the brother was pumped it was very very very nice and then we walk out that door and we start talking about dunya and then five minutes later is why we're drowning we need to proactively walk out of this and ask yourself what am i going to do with this what am i going to do with this knowledge that i've just gained with this perspective that i've just heard what am i going to do with it he says if you don't give dawah what will happen you will raise your hands and your diet will not be heard so my brother you have a job rather than talking about where you're going and what you're coming when you walk outside talk to the brother tell him brother what was your perspective on that khutbah what did you understand talk talk when you go home to your wife tell about the khutbah when you sit with your kids tell them when you go back to work speak talk brother talk talk share it let this heart move this is an amanda now that's upon every single one of you are you all ready for this you all ready for this allah reward you all to give victory to the muslims wherever they are we ask allah to take the love of this rubbish bin take the love of this rubbish being out of our hearts and put the love of allah and his beloved prophet into the heart we ask allah to make us from the people of we ask we ask allah to make us of the people who on the day of judgement there's no accountability for them there is no he said we go straight into jannah we ask allah to make jahannam haram upon us we ask allah to enlighten this ummah and once again bring us back to his beloved
