Thanks and praises are greatest for Allah, the Almighty, Creator and Lord of all the worlds. Salam and whether our greetings for the Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him, on his large family, his friends over and above all those who lived with the truth in his heart.
"And be not like those who forgot Allah, and Allah made them forget themselves! Such are they doubted. "(Al-Hashër, 19).
Dear brothers and sisters, after two days, respectively, on Sunday, 16 November, will be commemorated 16 November 1990, where in our Albania, precisely in the city of Shkodra, the Mufti was great Albanians, Hafiz Sabri Koci, with reopening Lead mosque, with over 55 thousand participants, even symbolically opened the door of faith in Allah and the collapse of the atheistic system.
But, in this presentation today, would like to interact with another moment of glorious Islamic history which I think is very important for us and for our time. In fact, in the year 629 AD, Muslims fight with gasanitëve tribes in the lands of Sham, Syria and Jordan today. In this war, which is also known as Mu'tes war, Muslims attended by over ten thousand soldiers, while the enemy numbered over one hundred thousand.
In this war martyrs fall three Muslim commanders: Zayd ibn Haritha, Ja'far ibn Abi Talib and Abdullah ibn Revah. What interests me most today is the issue of the latter's collapse martyr and the reward will win Paradise. After the fall of the heroic Xhaferi receives Abdullah bin flag Revah, as commander of the army.
On the other hand, Muhammad was in Medina and he described the events leading to his companions stayed with him. And said: "Now the flag has taken Abdullah ibn Revaha, but that was delayed a bit."
This was so because Abdullah ibn Revah took the flag after the collapse of its two flagship before, which did hesitate a bit, made to delay because of human weakness and fear gripped the chance, but he almost gave himself heart and raised high the banner of Islam until he fell a martyr in this battle.
E Muhammad, began to talk about the state of these three in paradise and telling the audience:
"I see Zayd ibn Harithen on a gold bed in paradise. I see even Ja'far ibn Abi Talib on a gold bed in paradise. On their side also see Abdullah bin Revahun on a gold bed in paradise. But his bed is lower. "When asked why, he said:" Because of the small delay at the beginning ".
Just why was delayed slightly, his Paradise was lower. How will be the Garden of them that there are several years that are delayed? But those girls are delayed for years for wearing hijab? But those young boys being delayed for years and forget that they have obligations as Muslims? But those who are late and have not yet learned to make the prayer? But those who are late and do not learn the Quran? But those who are delayed for years and do not contribute to bring Islam forward? But those who are late and do not care for the state fair and the formation of functional institutions?
Dear brothers, we we could even more to expand the range of these questions, but will make an essential question. Dear congregation, I sincerely ask you: Does it seem that we are being delayed? Is the delay in gaining merit in the country and the world who ranks of Paradise in the Hereafter?
Look, for example, as late that are: Swiss State afforded wearing of headscarves in schools, while our countries with absolute majority Muslim inhibit such a basic human right. In Europe which is called our politicians and intellectuals?
Dear congregation, Muhammad A.Ş. in one case, had said: "I have been given the keys of the treasures of the earth. By Allah, I am afraid not more than you would believe someone other than Allah, but the fear in your commitment to this world and its transitory goods, so it bring you out of religion. "
Therefore, to say enough delay and live for religion and good values of life. Allah will not change our situation, until we are delayed in every aspect.
