Arrival and Greeting

As-salaamu `alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem. wa ’s-salaat wa ’s-salaam `ala Sayyidina Muhammad (s) wa ala aalihi wa sahbihi ajma`een.

We are very thankful to Pa Sunarto and to Budi, `Abdul-Nasser, and everyone, may Allah bless them. Babak Berni... So inshaa-Allah we are going to have an event at 7:00 pm after Maghrib, and now it is 6:00 pm. So now, if you like, Bahruddin is here and you can do some qaseedas and I will go and get ready for the event.

This is the month of Rajab, the month of Allah; Sha`baan is Prophet's month, and Ramadan is the month of the ummah. In this month there are a lot of angels that Allah (swt) sent on Earth to look for people praising His Prophet (s), and they write their names under the title, "Muhammadiyyoon." Every salawaat we send on the Prophet (s) here, Allah (swt) sends His mercy through His angels, and on every letter Allah creates angels that make dhikrullah and salawaat.

Everyone is looking at this house and saying, "Mashaa-Allah, this is a small palace!" but for akhirah, for those praising Allah (swt) and His Prophet (s), this will be a shack, insignificant, because it is from dunya! What Allah gives from akhirah no one can imagine! We call it a palace and it is, but what is a "palace"?

Inshaa-Allah we will see you there. As-salaamu `alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh.

bi hurmati 'l-habeeb, bi hurmati 'l-Fatihah.
