00:00:26.400 There was a night where I couldn't sleep yeah and probably like four in the morning
00:00:31.200 so I get out of my bed and I'm like you know let me let me start praying.
00:00:37.520 Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh brothers and sisters and dear friends hope
00:00:40.080 you guys are well inshallah brothers and sisters as you guys know AJ who is also known as Anthony
00:00:45.680 Joshua so he's got a boxing match coming very soon inshallah in Saudi Arabia so he's been
00:00:50.960 there and a reporter asked him a very very important question and he gave a very very
00:00:54.400 unique answer to it very interesting he doesn't really claim if he's a Muslim or not but he says
00:00:58.160 something very interesting you know even if you're a believer or not a believer he says
00:01:01.360 that sometimes when he's at the gym sometimes I don't know if you use the word nervous but he
00:01:04.880 says sometimes he can't sleep so because of that he hears the adhan the call to prayer and I think
00:01:10.480 he's joined some of his friends you know he has a lot of Muslim friends for Fajr very interesting
00:01:16.480 brothers and sisters subhanallah if you can think if you think about it I've recently come
00:01:19.440 across a lot of non-Muslims who are actually they want to try and I can believe when I first 1.00
00:01:24.640 was looking into Islam I used to fast I used to try to fast I wanted to know what fasting was about
00:01:29.200 so it's something that is close to my heart as well because I wanted to see what's the fasting
00:01:33.040 about etc you only truly understand the sweetness when you become a believer because usually as a
00:01:38.000 disbeliever when you fast you're just like okay I'm staying away from food why am I staying away from food
00:01:41.360 I don't know just to try it fasting prayer and the things that you do actions of ibadah are greater
00:01:47.440 and it has a sweetness to it when you inshallah like do it for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:01:51.520 but it's very interesting that Anthony Joshua Anthony Joshua would want to go and wake up for Fajr
00:01:57.040 which is one of the most hardest prayers brothers and sisters yeah what does that say about us how
00:02:01.600 many Muslims are watching this and they do not wake up for Fajr and you anybody that comes to me and says 0.55
00:02:06.640 i can't wake up i'm i'm tired um um my life is busy in a nutshell what you're trying to say is this
00:02:13.920 it's as if i was you're saying that your lord who created the heavens and the earth was not aware
00:02:19.200 that when he sent and bear in mind what he came down by the angel Gabriel to the prophet Muhammad peace
00:02:24.240 be upon him but when it came to the issue of salah the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him had to go to
00:02:28.400 the heavens and meet Allah and we don't know if he saw Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala we do not know but he had
00:02:34.560 to go there and get the um the ruling when it comes to salah which shows how important it is
00:02:42.640 brothers and sisters what you're trying to say to yourself if you do not wake up for salah is the
00:02:46.160 following Allah doesn't know my affairs that i'm going to be busy in the worldly things and he has
00:02:51.040 told me to do something that i can't do this is border it can be kuffer i'm not i'm not saying you become
00:02:56.000 a disbeliever but the thought of it that Allah is telling you to do something and not aware what an
00:03:01.920 insult to him if i go to my son and say or my daughter i wouldn't need to do a and they're like 0.59
00:03:06.800 i can't do it what they're basically trying to say to me is like as if i don't know that they can't do
00:03:11.280 it and i am making them do something they can't do no Allah knows very well we can do it you have 24
00:03:17.280 hours a day five minutes Anthony Joshua who is i don't know if he's a believer or not
00:03:23.600 if he's a disbeliever for him to wake up for fajr and for you not to let me tell you something it's a
00:03:28.320 matter of priority if i came to you and i said i will give you five thousand pounds which i don't
00:03:32.880 have if i had it and i would maybe lend it to you to wake up for five minutes you will set 27 alarms
00:03:40.400 you will ring your neighbor and say if i don't wake up bang the door smash the door you will tell your
00:03:44.320 wife to wake you up you will do everything in your power why for five thousand pounds so it's a matter of
00:03:51.280 priority but when your lord is promising you jannah what is five thousand pounds and you say what
00:03:59.440 tired no no no you're not tired you are not tired it's a matter of priority it's a matter of iman
00:04:04.560 it's fine when i first came to islam i found it very hard to wake up for fajr the first year
00:04:08.640 i made dua i asked allah please and wallahi allah subhanahu wa ta'ala made it easy for me i'm just
00:04:15.120 going to wrap up on that but from Anthony Joshua we can learn a key lesson if him i don't know if he's
00:04:20.240 a muslim or not but let's assume that he's not if he can go and go to prayer and wake up for fajr or 0.73
00:04:27.360 knows he hears the adhan imagine as a disbelief you hear the adhan you're like you know what
00:04:30.320 let me go and pray how could it be that we're in muslim households where your mom and dad is a muslim
00:04:35.120 not like people who are families are not muslim and wallahi they wake up look i don't know what
00:04:41.440 to feel sorry for me i would sometimes tiptoe tiptoe in my house so my my dad doesn't hear me
00:04:46.000 waking up for fajr how is it that you're in a household where your mom and dad is
00:04:49.840 begging you to pray that's all i'm going to say brothers and sisters let this be a reminder
00:04:54.080 and set your alarms setting your alarms is a gold it's good it means you are now striving to wake up
00:05:00.400 set your alarm even if you don't wake up you know that you set your alarm for fajr
00:05:04.720 inshallah you'll get the ajr until next time assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
