Indeed we will depart from this dunya. We will depart and will be accountable before Allaah subhaanahu wa ta'aala.

In this khutbah Ustaadh gives a severe admonition as to what we will earn according to the degrees of our actions, our deeds and our speech. We will only receive from the bounty of Allaah subhaanahu wa ta'aala according to these deeds and actions. So we must hasten in this dunya to acquire good deeds, and perfecting those deeds.

Allaah subhaanahu wa ta'aala says regarding those that are obedient to Him: "They are in varying grades with Allaah, and Allaah is All-Seer of what they do." - Surah Ali 'Imran [3:163] - Al-Qur'aan

Sahih al-Bukhari – The Book of Tawheed – Lesson 53 (30/06/18)

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "The Right (Hand) of Allah Is full, and (Its fullness) is not affected by the continuous spending night and day. Do you see what He has spent since He created the Heavens and the Earth? Yet all that has not decreased what is in His Right Hand. His Throne is over the water and in His other Hand is the Bounty or the Power to bring about death, and He raises some people and brings others down."

Narrated Anas: Zaid bin Haritha came to the Prophet complaining about his wife. The Prophet kept on saying (to him), "Be afraid of Allah and keep your wife." Aisha said, "If Allah's Apostle were to conceal anything (of the Quran he would have concealed this Verse." Zainab used to boast before the wives of the Prophet and used to say, "You were given in marriage by your families, while I was married (to the Prophet) by Allah from over seven Heavens." And Thabit recited, "The Verse:-- 'But (O Muhammad) you did hide in your heart that which Allah was about to make manifest, you did fear the people,' (33.37) was revealed in connection with Zainab and Zaid bin Haritha."

Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Verse of Al-Hijab (veiling of women) was revealed in connection with Zainab bint Jahsh. (On the day of her marriage with him) the Prophet gave a wedding banquet with bread and meat; and she used to boast before other wives of the Prophet and used to say, "Allah married me (to the Prophet in the Heavens.)"

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "When Allah had finished His creation, He wrote over his Throne: 'My Mercy preceded My Anger.'

Today we covered:

• Where is Allaah?

o The Throne is above the water

o Evidence from Zainab when she said, “Allaah did this from above the seven heavens.”

o Allaah is the most high and nothing is above Him.

o Evidence from Zainab bint Jahsh, “Allaah married me to the Prophet in the heavens.”

o The Qu’raan, sunnah and salaf testifies that Allaah is above.

o Evidence from the Qur’aan, “Make the tasbeeh of your Lord the most high.”

o Evidence from the sunnah. The Prophet taught us to say in the sujood “Say that your lord is the most high.”

In this lecture, Ustadh Abu Muadh (Hafidahullaah)provides an encouragement for us all to strive to seek knowledge consistently; and delivers a timely reminder as to why the Ummah is in the state it is.

Fasting does not end at the end of Ramadhaan. Allaah has legislated other fasts which we can engage in to still attain the benefits of fasting and to keep us in that state of discipline & mindfulness towards Allaah.

Allaah has blessed that we were in the month of Ramadhaan and He has blessed us that we have completed the month.

Righteous deeds and the worship of Allaah do not end with the end of Ramadhaan. They should continue after the month of Ramadhaan.

Fasting in the month of Ramadhaan brought so many benefits for us, taught us many lessons, patience, perseverance, self control, self discipline. These things we can carry on outside the blessed month.

Let us all safeguard what Ramadhaan taught us. Let us safeguard those benefits and let us safeguard that purification & cleansing that we attained during the blessed month.

"O you who believe! Fear Allaah and keep your duty to Him. And let every person look to what he has sent forth for the morrow, and fear Allaah. Verily, Allaah is All-Aware of what you do." - Surah Al-Hashr [59:18] - Al-Qur'aan

The 5th principle is choosing the right people that you sit with, that you take as companions. Those people that you are attracted to to be in their company, your inner circle of friends.

"And keep yourself (O Muhammad Sallalaahu 'alaihi wa salam) patiently with those who call on their Lord (i.e. your companions who remember their Lord with glorification, praising in prayers, etc., and other righteous deeds, etc.) morning and afternoon, seeking His Face, and let not your eyes overlook them, desiring the pomp and glitter of the life of the world; and obey not him whose heart We have made heedless of Our Remembrance, one who follows his own lusts and whose affair (deeds) has been lost." - Surah Al-Kahf [18:28] - Al-Qur'aan

In this short lecture Ustaadh talks about the rulings and related issues regarding Zakaatul Fitr.

Sheikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (Hafidhahullaah ta'aala) says:

"Know that indeed the Zakaatul Fitr, Allaah 'azza wajal has placed it at the end of the month of Ramadhaan. Therefore a person should ask Him to accept his efforts during the month of Ramadhaan and that He places that person from one of those who has been freed from the hellfire.

Indeed Allaah 'azza wajal has legislated more actions of worship at the end of Ramadhaan, which increase a person in nearness to Him. From them is the Zakaatul Fitr, which is a purification of the shortcomings for those who have fasted."
