I luv this video so much, it makes me proud and thankful to be a muslim every time I re watch it. Alhamdulillah..
This khutbah is delivered by Sheikh Yusuf Estes, a very famous muslim preacher in United States. He reverted to Islam in 1991 and actively involved in da'wah in Usa ever since. Originally tried to convert a muslim to christianity, he eventually gained hidayah from Allah when he began studied the Holy Quran. He found Quran very fascinating and acknowledge that the Quran is indeed the Word of God (ALLAH). May Allah bless him in his work and flourish him with healthiness and happiness. Amin.
Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahiim
اللهم أنت ربي لا إله إلا أنت ،خلقتني و أنا عبدك، و أنا على عهدك و وعدك ما استطعت، أعوذ بك من شر ما صنعت ، أبوء لك بنعمتك عليَّ وأبوء لك بذنبي فاغفر لي ، فإنه لا يغفر الذنوب إلا أنت . من قالها من النهار موقناً بها فمات من يومه قبل أن يمسي فهو من أهل الجنة ، ومن قالها من الليل وهو موقن بها فمات قبل أن يصبح فهو من أهل الجنة -البخاري
O Allah, You are my Lord, none has the right to be worshipped except You, You created me and I am You servant and I abide to Your covenant and promise as best I can, I take refuge in You from the evil of which I committed. I acknowledge Your favor upon me and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me, for verily none can forgive sin except You. “If somebody recites this invocation during the day, and if he should die then, he will be from the people of Jannah. And if he recites it in the night, and if he should die on the same day, he will be from the people of Jannah.” [Bukhari]

Last week, was astounding...in a way that i'm hearing many people died, even though there is little i know about them..but it's enough to make my heart beat beating even faster...as i know one day it would be my turn.
Allah s.w.t says in the Holy Quran,
3:154 ".......Say: "Even if you had remained in your homes, those for whom death was decreed would certainly have gone forth to the place of their death"; but (all this was) that Allah might test what is in your breasts and purge what is in your hearts. For Allah knoweth well the secrets of your hearts."
6:61 "He is the irresistible, (watching) from above over His worshippers, and He sets guardians over you. At length, when death approaches one of you, Our angels take his soul, and they never fail in their duty."
I'm only know him recently..only after he had gone. But through my reading on several other blogs, i knew he was somehow not an ordinary person. He gained so much loved from his family and friends, and through the way he leaved this world, I know he gained even greater love from Allah..his eternal love. -insya-ALLAH.
Arwah Ammar spend much of his time on da'wa. He apparently taken it seriously, struggling to spread the message of Islam and working on strengthening islamic brotherhood ties even till his last breath.
But what amazed me most is how his death has touch many hearts, bringing tears to many eyes even to those who never knew him. That apparent to me that his da'wah did'nt stop, even his death is indeed da'wah too..remembering us about the assurance of death and how crucial it is to spend the time that we have...wisely, indeed very wisely.

I used to hear my friends told me "please visit my blog" , " do take a look at my blog", "hey , come to my blog". For some reasons, im not that passionate, not because im not interested but i just didnt have much time. With lots of assignments and coursework, my life was just hectic to spend my time for something personal.
but, finally i do read their blogs, and there's something in common that i noticed... they not only talk about their personal life, but also about our religion -ISLAM, or what we called it (da'wa) or calling.. calling people to do the right thing the right way, the way that Allah bless, then i realised i didnt do much for Islam a much as they do.
A big question raised in my head. What if i die today? what have i done for Him? i realised 90% of my life was just about me, i study, i work , everything for my own good. Only 10% i guess i managed to free myself from those 'worldly' things, thanks to 5 times a day prayer .
thus, i want to do more for my belief, and blogs could be the best medium. i want to talk about how beautiful Islam is, and how I love Allah so much, although it could'nt ever be as much as He love me.
it's not important how many people read this , but the important thing is His blessings over what i have done for Him...but it's will be lovely if there's a lot of people isn' it, that's why i put 'flag counter' here...haha(^_^)
Insya-Allah, Allah bless.
"O Prophet Say: If You Love Allah, Follow Me: Allah Will Love You And Forgive Your Sins"
I am Malaysian Pakistani and Somali and Arab:
I am Turk and Irani and native of the Maldives:
My home is in Paris, Berlin, London;
in Mexico City, Port-of-Spain, Durban;
in Karachi, Zagazig or Kuala Lumpur,
I am as at home sailing in a lateen
rigged baggala along the red-rock Oman
shores bound for Socotra's island as I
am crossing the Khyber Pass in a camel
caravan...or driving a Mercedes taxi
in Istanbul.
Na'am, aiwa, acha, kha,
I am your brother, Adam.
You will know me in the mosques when
I stand shoulder to shoulder with you
and wish you peace when prayer is done:
and you may see me in Isfahan talking with
a miniature painter or in Dera Ismail Khan
listening to a young and vocal teacher of
Urdu or in Medan listening to a old man
chanting the Quran or in Sacramento listening
to a college boy who has all the problems
of the universe solved.
You will know me because I am your brother
and in a real and forceful sense I am
a part of you, dependent on you as you are
dependent on me...as rocks in a city wall...
round as the ancient wall of Baghdad.
I am Egyption and Tunisian and Syrian:
I am Berber and Kurd; Fulani and Nausherwani
and Pawenda;
I am Maliki, Hanafi, Hanbali, and Shafii:
all these I am, for I am your brother
standing besides you in the mosque waiting
for the iqama...white-garbed in the plain
of Arafat...fasting with you in Ramadan.
I am at home in the black tents of the bedu
and the tall buildings of Hadhramaut...;
I am always lingering at the Great Mosque
to circle the Kaaba and to kiss the hajr
al-aswad and drink from the well of Zamzam;
and I am standing, too, in the Haraam ash-sharif
in Jerusalem and in Karbala...and all of them,
each of them, has meaning on meaning for me.
Na'am ya habibi, ya azizi, ya akhi,
I am your brother Adam.
You will know me when you see me
becuase I wll be fingering my beads
and you will know well what this means...
subhanAllah...
You will know me and I will know you
for we are real brothers; and I am of
one place as I am of another...as much a
part of one as the other; the lover
of all lands where I can listen to the
call of the muezzin coming over the night,
or hear the beat of a single Muslim heart.
