00:01:00.000 Thank you.
00:01:30.000 Thank you.
00:02:00.980 And to be honest, I'm doing these videos lately because it's more easy than just putting the camera out and the audio and da da da. Simple short videos inshallah. And it does the job. You guys can hear my voice anyways.
00:02:41.280 Strong is not the man who can wrestle another man down, but strong is the man who can control himself in a situation of anger.
00:02:48.340 Now, one thing I love about Khabib is that his love for his deen, his akhlaq, his adab, his character towards his parents. And this is something that we're missing. How many of us can come and say that we are obedient to our parents?
00:03:01.900 How many of us can say that? How many of us can say, you know what, that the fact that, you know, subhanAllah, if your mom or your dad is afraid to ask you something or they're asking you in a specific tone because they're afraid of your attitude, that is actually disobedience.
00:03:16.900 It's disobedience. It's actually disobedience because you have caused them to fear asking you certain things. And that is something we should be ashamed of. And Khabib said in one of his videos, I'm not saying this is true or not, but he said my success is based on my obedience to my parents.
00:03:31.160 And I believe that success can be in other things. Obviously, the whole MMA thing and punching and that's a different story.
00:03:37.580 But now what I wanted to mention to you guys, brothers and sisters, was a hadith because you can see how Khabib is a world star, millions of followers, and he's done so much things for people, you know, those that we know and God knows the stuff that we don't know.
00:03:53.560 Mashallah, he's somebody that is a role model in the context of his adab, his character, the way he carries himself, his obedience to his parents.
00:03:59.700 And in this video, like we saw, his salah. In this hadith, it was narrated by Abu Huraira that the Prophet SAW said,
00:04:08.060 The first thing among the deeds for which the people will be brought to account on the day of resurrection will be their salah, their prayer.
00:04:14.000 Our Lord will say to his angels, although he knows best, look at my slave's prayer. Is it complete or lacking?
00:04:20.020 If it is complete, it will be recorded as complete. But if it is lacking, he will say, look and see whether my slave did any voluntary prayers.
00:04:29.700 If he had done voluntary prayers, he will say complete obligatory prayers of my slave from his voluntary prayers.
00:04:35.400 Then the rest of his deeds will be examined in a similar manner.
00:04:39.380 Now, brothers and sisters, how many of us, subhanallah, imagine living our lives five years, ten years.
00:04:47.180 Yes, okay, look, we have our ups and downs sometimes.
00:04:49.860 And we live our life years on end and not a single salah.
00:04:55.240 Not a single salah.
00:04:56.360 Brothers and sisters, this is something we really need to question ourselves.
00:04:59.080 Can you imagine living in Allah's earth and with all the blessings you have, but you find it so hard to pray salah?
00:05:07.780 Five minutes.
00:05:08.760 You dedicate your time to everything.
00:05:10.680 When it comes to the gym, when it comes to stuff like that, you know when to eat, what to eat, how to look.
00:05:15.180 Be it, you know, this is for the brothers, you know, maybe sisters that go to the gym, you know, what to eat, when to sleep, when to train, what body part to train.
00:05:23.040 You've got everything on a routine.
00:05:24.900 When it comes to, let's say maybe the sisters, you know, they know everything about, you know, be it like the fashion or clothing or the makeup or the dedication that you spend on it.
00:05:33.080 And these things, when you die, they're going to leave you.
00:05:36.280 Your body's going to be washed.
00:05:37.180 They're going to leave you.
00:05:37.640 Your body's going to decay.
00:05:38.420 And subhanAllah, we do not give that effort.
00:05:42.100 If we gave just 10% of the effort that we give to other material things, to our salah, to our deen, wallahi, life will be so different.
00:05:49.920 Our relationship with Allah will be so different.
00:05:52.300 In Surah Mudathir, yeah, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, about the wicked one who will be asked,
00:05:59.180 What has landed you in hell?
00:06:02.000 They will reply, we were not of those who prayed, nor did we feed the poor.
00:06:07.500 We used to indulge in falsehood along with others and deny the day of judgment until the inevitable came to us.
00:06:16.780 So the pleas of intercessors will be of no benefit to them.
00:06:20.360 So the idol worshippers, they were worshipping.
00:06:23.620 Now, what is the matter with them that they are turning away from the reminder as if they were spooked zebras, fleeing from a lion?
00:06:31.980 In fact, each one of them wishes to be given a personal letter from Allah to all to read.
00:06:35.940 But in fact, they do not fear the hereafter.
00:06:39.140 Now, brothers and sisters, when you're reading, you can say, hold on a second, okay, I don't pray in my salah, but you know, I do believe in the hereafter.
00:06:45.360 I do feed the poor.
00:06:47.300 I do, you know, do other stuff and righteous deeds.
00:06:50.680 The question that needs to be asked is the following, brothers and sisters.
00:06:52.560 How is it that these people, these pagans, these people who didn't, these mushriks, they didn't do salah because they didn't believe in the hereafter.
00:07:01.700 Therefore, there's no hereafter.
00:07:03.340 How as a Muslim, you believe in the hereafter.
00:07:06.280 You believe you're going to be questioned.
00:07:07.740 And yet alone, you still do not pray.
00:07:11.320 Brothers and sisters, I'm not going to make it long.
00:07:13.280 All I'm just saying is, even if it's one salah a day, that is the rights of Allah.
00:07:18.560 And wallahi, brothers and sisters, if you don't do that, and you're going to lose.
00:07:23.040 You might dedicate your time to everything.
00:07:24.340 I know some people, subhanAllah, they miss their salah because they're doing work or business or they're endorsing something.
00:07:30.880 And they are, subhanAllah, thinking that, oh no, I can't pray asr now because, you know, I'm working or etc.
00:07:37.800 And I need to, you know, there's a customer coming or this, that, whatever it may be.
00:07:42.200 SubhanAllah, Allah is the one who's in control of your risk.
00:07:45.320 You're missing your salah.
00:07:46.520 Don't think you've added any amount to your risk.
00:07:49.960 Your risk is written.
00:07:50.940 All you've done is committed a major sin.
00:07:52.440 And you've missed salah.
00:07:55.140 And on top of that, you think that the extra £100 or £200, or let's say £10,000 you're going to earn, was going to not come your way.
00:08:02.240 Brothers and sisters, Khabib, may Allah bless him, inshallah, and keep him firm.
00:08:06.660 Is, I find him admirable when I see him praying salah at the gym or wherever he is.
00:08:11.560 He puts everything aside and prays salah.
00:08:14.300 This is what makes Khabib strong.
00:08:16.200 When I look at him and his strength, I see his strength in his religion, in his deen, in his obedience to his Lord.
00:08:21.820 That is a strong person that I see.
00:08:25.600 His wrestling, his boxing, this, that, I'll be honest with you, wallahi, it means nothing.
00:08:29.600 It means nothing.
00:08:30.280 If you can be the most strongest person on this planet, if you are not obedient to your creator, wallahi, you are the weakest person.
00:08:38.020 I don't care how big your muscles are.
00:08:39.660 I don't care who you can knock out.
00:08:41.540 Brothers and sisters, hope this reminder benefited you guys, inshallah.
00:08:44.900 And may Allah bless you guys, inshallah.
00:08:46.600 Please start praying salah.
00:08:48.280 If you do want daily reminders, you can follow me on Instagram, which I give reminders about salah, inshallah.
00:08:52.820 Until next time, inshallah.
00:08:54.800 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
00:08:56.620 May Allah make us amongst those who observe our salah and keep steadfast to our religion.
00:09:01.440 Take care.
00:09:01.820 Thank you.
