The Key to Jannah

 السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

إِنّ الْحَمْدَ ِللهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَعِيْنُهُ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُهُ وَنَعُوْذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ شُرُوْرِ أَنْفُسِنَا وَسَيّئَاتِ أَعْمَالِنَا مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللهُ فَلاَ مُضِلّ لَهُ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلاَ هَادِيَ لَهُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلهَ إِلاّ اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنّ مُحَمّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُوْلُهُ

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أُوْصِيْكُمْ وَإِيَّايَ بِتَقْوَى اللهِ فَقَدْ فَازَ الْمُتَّقُوْنَ.

 قَالَ تَعَالَى:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ 

وقَالَ تَعَالَى:

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالًا كَثِيرًا وَنِسَاءً وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي تَسَاءَلُونَ بِهِ وَالْأَرْحَامَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيبًا

 يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَقُولُوا قَوْلًا سَدِيدًا يُصْلِحْ لَكُمْ أَعْمَالَكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَمَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ فَازَ فَوْزًا عَظِيمًا 

 

وقَالَ تَعَالَى:

مَّثَلُ الَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ أَنبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ فِي كُلِّ سُنبُلَةٍ مِّائَةُ حَبَّةٍ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يُضَاعِفُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيم ٌ

اَللَّهُمّ صَلّ وَسَلّمْ عَلى مُحَمّدٍ وَعَلى آلِهِ وِأَصْحَابِهِ وَمَنْ تَبِعَهُمْ بِإِحْسَانٍ إِلَى يَوْمِ الدّيْن

 أَمَّا بَعْدُ

 

All praise and gratitude are only to Allah. We praise him, and we ask him for guidance and forgiveness.

If it were not for guidance from Allah SWT, surely we could not be in the path of Islam and Iman.

Whom Allah guides, no one can lead him astray, and whom He makes astray, no one can lead him back to the right path.

 

Our blessings and greetings may be bestowed upon great Prophet Muhammad SAW, also to his friends and his beloved wives and to each of his followers, who well followed him to the end of time.

رحيمكوم الله ........................................  

In this khutbah : I invite myself and all jamaah Muslim to increase our taqwa to Allah subhanahu wataala. Today I would like to talk about THE KEY TO PARADISE.

 

The key to Paradise is found in the declaration that there is nothing worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (la ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad ar-rasul Allah). This statement is the foundation of Islam, the beginning of faith, the source of virtues, and the means of happiness in the Hereafter for those who actualize its meaning.

Uthman reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

مَنْ مَاتَ وَهُوَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ

He who died knowing that there is no worthy of worship except Allah will enter Paradise.

Source: Sahih Muslim 26

To know Allah does not mean simply to be aware of His existence, as even Satan knows that Allah exists. Rather than that we must learn how to worship Allah with sincerity of intention (ikhlas) and conformity with the prophetic tradition (sunnah).

Al-Bukhari reported: It was said to Wahb bin Munabbih rahimahullah, “Is not the key to Paradise the declaration that there is no God but Allah?” Wahb said:

بَلَى وَلَكِنْ لَيْسَ مِفْتَاحٌ إِلَّا لَهُ أَسْنَانٌ فَإِنْ جِئْتَ بِمِفْتَاحٍ لَهُ أَسْنَانٌ فُتِحَ لَكَ وَإِلَّا لَمْ يُفْتَحْ لَكَ

Of course, but rather every key has ridges. If you come with the correct key, the door will be opened for you. Otherwise it will never be opened. (Book 1, Hadith 39 ; Mishkat al-Masabih 43).

 

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ :
كُلُّ أُمَّتِى يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ ، إِلاَّ مَنْ أَبَى » . قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَنْ يَأْبَى قَالَ : مَنْ أَطَاعَنِي دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ ، وَمَنْ عَصَانِي فَقَدْ أَبَى

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "All my followers will enter Paradise except those who refuse." They said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Who will refuse?" He said, "Whoever obeys me will enter Paradise, and whoever disobeys me is the one who refuses (to enter it)." (HR. Sahih al-Bukhari 7280)

only 2 choice,

 

Allah said:

 

لَا إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِ ۖ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَيِّ ۚ فَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِن بِاللَّهِ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَىٰ لَا انفِصَامَ لَهَا ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

 

There shall be no compulsion in the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong. Whoever disbelieves in false gods and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold which will never break, for Allah is hearing and knowing. Surat Al-Baqarah 2:256

Allah said:

وَأَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَاحْذَرُوا فَإِنْ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّمَا عَلَى رَسُولِنَا الْبَلَاغُ الْمُبِينُ

المائدة/92.

And obey Allah and obey the Messenger and beware. And if you turn away - then know that upon Our Messenger is only [the responsibility for] clear notification.

 (QS. Al Maidah: 92).

Ash-Shaykh Muhammad Said Al Qohthoni explained the seven conditions of the Syahadah.:

First, Al 'Ilmu (Knowledge) : Every person who takes a shahadaah must know exactly what the meaning and meaning is contained in these two sentences.

Second, Al Yaqin (believe/Certainty): Everyone who pledges these two sentences of sahadah must believe whole heartedly without any doubt in them. in fact, any kind of doubt is equivalent to Kufr or disbelief. We must, in our hearts, be absolutely certain of the truth of the shahadah. Our hearts must not be wavering in any way when we testify to the truth of, "There is none worthy of worship except Allah." Allah describes the believers in the Qur'an as those who have belief in Allah and then their hearts waver not.

 

Third, Al Qobul (Acceptance). The new shahada is accepted by Allah SWT if it is received in total for the consequences that accompany it with with the tongue and heart.

Fourth, Al Inqiyad (submission). The pledge of the creed must be followed by submitting to obey its meaning. This implies the actual physical enactment with our deeds of our shahadah. In fact, this is one of the main meanings of the word Islam itself, "the submission to the will and commands of Allah."

Fifth, Ash Shidq (Truthfulness). This means that when we say the shahadah, we are saying it honestly. We actually mean it. We are not lying when it comes to our testimony of faith. The Prophet (peace be upon his) said, «No one bears testimony to there being no one worth of worship save Allah, sincerely from his heart, except that Allah makes the Hell-fire forbidden for him» [Recorded by al-Bukhari and Muslim.]

Sixth, Al Ikhlash (sincerity). The pledge of the sahadah must be carried out with sincerity and only in the hope of the pleasure of Allah SWT.

Lastly is Al Mahabbah (love). A person who has pledged the creed must love Allah above all and love everything in order to love Allah SWT.

he loves in accordance with the shahadah, he loves the implications and requirements of the shahadah and he loves those who act and strive for the sake of this shahadah. This is a necessary condition of the shahadah.

Finally, I want to advise myself and the Muslims to re-learn the Koran and the Sunnah and gain our taqwa. So we become a good Muslim and muttaqin ... because Islam teaches us all aspects of life ... And perhaps Allah will accept us and upon his blessings put us in heaven ... Amin ya rabbal alamin.

 

بَارَكَ اللهُ لِيْ وَلَكُمْ فِي الْقُرْآنِ الْعَظِيْمِ، وَنَفَعَنِي وَإِيَّاكُمْ بِمَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْآيَاتَ وَالذِّكْرِ الْحَكِيم

أَقُوْلُ قَوْلِي هَذَا وَاسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ لِي وَلَكُمْ وَلِسَائِرِ المُسْلِمِيْنَ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَمِيْعُ العَلِيْمُ

رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُوْنَ، وَسَلاَمٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ.

عِبَادَ اللهِ،

 إِنَّ اللهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ بِالْعَدْلِ وَاْلإِحْسَانِ وَإِيتَآئِ ذِي الْقُرْبَى وَيَنْهَى عَنِ الْفَحْشَآءِ وَالْمُنكَرِ وَالْبَغْيِ يَعِظُكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُوْنَ. فَاذْكُرُوا اللهَ الْعَظِيْمَ يَذْكُرْكُمْ وَاسْأَلُوْهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ يُعْطِكُمْ وَلَذِكْرُ اللهِ أَكْبَرُ    ..
