إن الحمد لله، نحمدُه ونستعينُه
ونستغفرُه وَنَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ
ونعوذُ باللهِ من شرورِ أنفسنا،
وسيئات أعمالنا،
من يهدِه الله فلا مضلَّ له،
ومن يضلِلْ فلا هادي له،
وأشهدُ أنْ لا إله إلا الله
وحده لا شريكَ له،
وأشهدُ أن محمداً عبده ورسوله
لا نبيئ بعده
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ
وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ.
فإن أصدق الحديث كتابُ الله،
وخيرَ الهدي هديُ محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم،
وشرَّ الأمورِ محدثاتُها،
وكلَّ محدثة بدعةٌ، وكلَّ بدعة ضلالةٌ،
وكلَّ ضلالة في النار
معاشر المسلمين،
أًوصيكم ونفسي بتقوى الله، فقد فاز المتقون
Among the result of ...
... Allah SWT being the Most Just ...
... is that Allah does not value
His Servants the same ...
... in Heaven between those who do
many acts of worship ...
... and those who do fewer.
Allah has indicated this in
many verses.
Allah SWT said:
وَلِكُلٍّ دَرَجَاتٌ مِمَّا عَمِلُوا
“And for all are degrees
from what they have done.”
Allah SWT said:
هُمْ دَرَجَاتٌ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ
وَاللَّهُ بَصِيرٌ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ
“They are [varying] degrees
in the sight of Allah.”
“Allah is Seeing
of whatever they do.”
Allah has also mentioned
in another verse.
لَا يَسْتَوِي مِنْكُمْ مَنْ أَنْفَقَ
مِنْ قَبْلِ الْفَتْحِ وَقَاتَلَ
أُولَئِكَ أَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً مِنَ الَّذِينَ أَنْفَقُوا
مِنْ بَعْدُ وَقَاتَلُوا
وَكُلًّا وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الْحُسْنَى
وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ
Allah SWT said:
“Not equal among you are ...
... those who spent and fought
before the conquest [of Makkah]...
... And those who spent and fought
after the conquest [of Makkah].
It is different in the sight of Allah SWT.
Even though Allah said
وَكُلًّا وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الْحُسْنَى
"But to all Allah has promised
the best [reward]."
But their Heaven is
of different degrees.
وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ
“And Allah, with what you do,
is Acquainted.”
Allah also said,
ثُمَّ أَوْرَثْنَا الْكِتَابَ
الَّذِينَ اصْطَفَيْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا
فَمِنْهُمْ ظَالِمٌ لِنَفْسِهِ
وَمِنْهُمْ مُقْتَصِدٌ
وَمِنْهُمْ سَابِقٌ بِالْخَيْرَاتِ
بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ
ذَلِكَ هُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْكَبِيرُ
جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ يَدْخُلُونَهَا
يُحَلَّوْنَ فِيهَا
مِنْ أَسَاوِرَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَلُؤْلُؤًا
Allah SWT said:
"Then We caused to inherit
the Book (Al Quran) ...
... those We have chosen
of Our servants."
Allah mentioned them.
Some are
"فَمِنْهُمْ ظَالِمٌ لِنَفْسِهِ"
He who wrongs himself.
Mixing up between sinful acts
and good deeds.
The second one, "مُقْتَصِدٌ"
He who is moderate.
He only does the obligatory.
He never does
the sunnah (recommended).
And the third,
"سَابِقٌ بِالْخَيْرَاتِ"
He who does both obligatory and sunnah.
Three groups.
At the end of the verse, Allah has said,
جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ يَدْخُلُونَهَا
They will all enter Heaven.
But their Heavens are
of different degrees.
And Allah SWT has also said:
وَالسَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ
أُولَئِكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ
فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ
Allah has mentioned first,
in Al Waqiah, وَالسَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ
"And the forerunners in doing good."
They will enter Heaven.
أُولَئِكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ
"Those are the ones brought
near [to Allah]."
And Allah has mentioned
the degree under it. Allah says:
وَأَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ
مَا أَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ
Do you know who أَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ ?
How happy they are.
Their degree is different.
Allah SWT also said
in Ar Rahman.
Allah SWT said:
وَلِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ جَنَّتَانِ
فَبِأَيِّ آلَاء رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ
“But for he who has feared
the position of his Lord.”
“He will have two gardens.”
And Allah has described
the nature of these Heavens.
Afterward, Allah has said.
وَمِنْ دُونِهِمَا جَنَّتَانِ
And below them both
are two [other] gardens.
The scholars have said, that these two
are of different degrees.
The first are
for the Messengers of Allah.
And those who are special
in the sight of Allah SWT.
The second are for the Muslims.
The hadith of the Apostle ﷺ
described the different degrees of Heaven.
Among them, the Apostle ﷺ said:
إِنَّ فِي الجَنَّةِ مِائَةَ دَرَجَةٍ،
أَعَدَّهَا اللَّهُ لِلْمُجَاهِدِينَ
فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ،
مَا بَيْنَ الدَّرَجَتَيْنِ كَمَا
بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ،
"Indeed in Heaven ...
... there are a hundred grades ...
... which Allah has prepared
for those who fight in His Cause;
The distance between
any two of those grades ...
... is like the distance
between the heaven and the earth."
The Apostle did not say ...
... between land and mountains.
But between the sky and the Earth.
The difference is enormous.
Al-Hafidz Ibnu Hajar RA
commented this hadith.
He said,“As those
who fight in Allah’s cause ...
... are of different degrees
reaching to a hundred,
and they are not the same,
then the worshipers are also
different one another,
they are not the same
one another."
There are levels of those
who give charity.
There are levels of those
who read the Quran.
There are levels of those who
do the night prayers. And so on.
The Apostle ﷺ also said.
إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ
لَيَتَرَاءَوْنَ أَهْلَ الْغُرَفِ
مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ،
The residents of Heaven will look
at those in the upper abodes above them.
كَمَا تَتَرَاءَوْنَ الْكَوْكَبَ الدُّرِّيَّ
As they look at a shining star
الْغَابِرَ.
مِنَ الْأُفُقِ مِنَ
الْمَشْرِقِ أَوِ الْمَغْرِبِ،
لِتَفَاضُلِ مَا بَيْنَهُمْ،
As they look at the star rising
and leaving. It is extremely far.
In the eastern or western horizon.
In the horizon.
Because of the difference
of the two levels.
It indicates that Heavens are
of different levels.
The Apostle ﷺ also said:
يُقَالُ لِصَاحِبِ الْقُرْآنِ،
"It shall be said to the one
who memorized the Quran -
“The one close with Quran.”
اقْرَأْ، وَارْتَقِ،
وَرَتِّلْ كَمَا
كُنْتَ تُرَتِّلُ فِي الدُّنْيَا،
فَإِنَّ مَنْزِلَكَ
عِنْدَ آخِرِ آيَةٍ تَقْرَؤُهَا
The Apostle ﷺ said, “It shall be said
to those memorizing the Quran.”
‘Recite, and rise up.’
‘Recite (accurately) as you would recite
in the world.’
“For indeed your rank shall be
at the last Ayah you recited.”
Based on this hadith, some scholars ...
... such as Al-Khattabi
in his Ma’alimussunan,
Ibnul Mulaqqin in Al-Taudhih,
and other scholars said that ...
... there are about six thousand
levels of Heaven ...
... referring to the number of verses
in the Quran.
Because it is said,
اقْرَأْ، وَارْتَقِ،
“Recite and rise up.”
And in the end of hadith,
it is said,
فَإِنَّ مَنْزِلَكَ عِنْدَ
آخِرِ آيَةٍ تَقْرَؤُهَا
“For indeed your rank shall be
at the last verse you recited.”
There are a lot of levels
in Heaven.
Thus, we have to race
to reach the highest level of Heaven.
أقول قولي هذا واستغفر الله لي ولكم
ولسائر المسلمين من ذنب وخطيئة
فأستغفره إنه هو الغفور الرحيم
الحمد لله على إحسانه، والشكر له
على توفيقه وامتنانه،
وأشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده
لا شريك له تعظيما لشأنه،
وأشهد أن محمدا عبده ورسوله
الداعي إلى رضوانه،
أللهم صلي عليه وعل أله وأصحابه وإخوانه
My fellow Muslims,
May Allah SWT bless you.
Indeed, one shall have
the highest objective,
in relation to Heaven.
The Apostle ﷺ said:
فَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُ اللَّهَ،
فَاسْأَلُوهُ الفِرْدَوْسَ،
فَإِنَّهُ أَوْسَطُ الجَنَّةِ وَأَعْلَى الجَنَّةِ
“When you ask Allah (for something),
ask for Al-Firdaus,
which is the best
and highest part of Paradise.”
Hence, in many verses,
Allah has commanded us to race,
to compete, to do good deeds soon.
Allah SWT said,
سَابِقُوا إِلَى مَغْفِرَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ
وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا كَعَرْضِ السَّمَاءِ
وَالْأَرْضِ
أُعِدَّتْ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا
بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ
“Race toward forgiveness
from Allah and His Heaven.”
“whose width is like the width
of the heavens and earth.”
Race. سَابِقُوا
We are told to race.
Allah SWT said:
“فَاسْتَبِقُوا الْخَيْرَاتِ”
“So race to [all that is] good.”
Allah has commanded us to be fast
سَابِقُوا إِلَى مَغْفِرَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ
وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ
وَالْأَرْضُ
أُعِدَّتْ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
“Race, fast.”
Race toward forgiveness
from Allah and toward ...
... His Heaven whose width is like the width
of the heavens and earth,
prepared for the righteous.”
And Allah praises those
who race in doing good deeds.
Allah said:أُولَئِكَ يُسَارِعُونَ
فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ وَهُمْ لَهَا سَابِقُونَ
When Allah mentions about
the residents of Heaven,
“It is those who hasten to good deeds.”
“and they outstrip [others] therein.”
“Fast and race.”
When Allah mentioned
about the Apostles, Allah said:
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُسَارِعُونَ
فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ
“The Apostles are those
who hastened to good deeds.”
Not only to be fast and to race.
but Allah also asked to compete.
When Allah mentions about
Heaven in Al Muthafifiin,
at the end of the Surah, Allah said:
وَفِي ذَلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ
الْمُتَنَافِسُونَ
“So for this favor of Heaven
let the competitors compete.”
“Compete.”
“Make your friends your competitors
to reach the highest level of Heaven.”
Therefore, the Apostle ﷺ said:
لاَ حَسَدَ إِلَّا فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ:
“"There is no envy except in two.”
رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ الحِكْمَةَ
هُوَ يَقْضِي بِهَا وَيُعَلِّمُهَا
“First, person whom Allah has given wisdom
(i.e. religious knowledge).”
“And he gives his decisions accordingly
and teaches it to the others.”
رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ مَالًا
Second, a person whom Allah
has given wealth.
وَهُوَ يسلطه عَلَى هَلَكَتِهِ فِي الحَقِّ،
“And he spends it in the right way.”
The Apostle asked us to be envious
to these two persons.
Why do we compete?
My fellow Muslims,
may Allah SWT bless you.
We live a short life.
We do not live long.
Let say, a person dies at 60.
Minus 15 years of childhood/
teenager's period leaving him 45 years.
And minus sleeping time,
third of a day.
Minus 8 years. How long does he have?
Minus his occupation
looking at his mobile phone.
Groups, news.
That are necessarily useful for him.
His time is lessened.
His hair is getting white.
Signs of death are coming near.
One shall be aware
that his time is valuable.
Each time he passes
influences greatly ...
... his position in Heaven
of the 6.000 levels,if he enters Heaven.
Each action does
influences greatly.
Therefore, Ibnu Masud said,
إِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ فَلاَ تَنْتَظِرِ المَسَاءَ
“In the morning,
do not wait until evening.”
When you have the intention
to do good, do it. Do not delay.
وَإِذَا أَمْسَيْتَ فَلاَ تَنْتَظِرِ الصَّبَاحَ،
When you reach evening,
do not wait until morning.
When you have the intention, do it.
Do not delay.
When you have an intention,
to do good know that,
you are being guided by Allah SWT.
Use that guidance.
Do not delay.
وَخُذْ مِنْ صِحَّتِكَ
لِمَرَضِكَ،
Now that you are healthy.
Now that you are not ill.
وَمِنْ حَيَاتِكَ لِمَوْتِكَ
Now that you are alive,
before death comes.
It is when reaching his time,
one shall race to do good deeds.
A companion, the elder he was,
the more he did good deeds.
He was asked, “Why are you so eager
to worship Allah? You are now old."
He answered, “Don't you know
how a horse races?”
When it almost reaches the finish line,
it puts all its effort.
To reach the line soon.
Then a person shall race
in doing goods ...
... to reach the highest level
of Allah SWT's heaven.
إنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ
يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ
يَاأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا
صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا

إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
وَبَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ،

وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
اللهم أغفر للمسلمين والمسلمات
و المؤمنين والمؤمنات
الأحياء منهم والأموات
إِنَّكَ سَمِيْعٌ قَرِيْبٌ
مُجِيْبُ الدَّعَوَاتِ
وَيَاقَاضِيَ الْحَاجَاتْ
اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نُفُوْسَنَا تَقْوَاهَا
وَزَكِّهَا أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا
أَنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَمَوْلَاهَا
اللَّهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ لَنَا دِينِنَا
الَّذِي هُوَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِنَا،
وَأَصْلِحْ لَنَا دُنْيَانَا
الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَاشُنَا،
وَأَصْلِحْ لَنَا آخِرَتَنَا
الَّتِي إِلَيْهَا مَعَادُنَا،
وَاجْعَلِ الْحَيَاةَ
زِيَادَةً لَنَا فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ،
وَاجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ فِيهِ
رَاحَةً لَنَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ
اللهم إنا نسألك الهدى والتقى والعفاف والغنى
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً
وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً
وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
