Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi wa Salatu was Salam
ala UD mursaleen while he was Safi, he he marine and buried
Alhamdulillah after being here for the last few days,
in Masjid, Luxa in Jerusalem and in these blessed places
Alhamdulillah I just want to give a quick round up. And the whole
purpose of this is to actually encourage all those brothers and
sisters who live in countries that would be allowed to come and visit
here without too much difficulty. So the whole purpose of this is
just to encourage you, because, yes, there was difficulty for us
at the airport. Numerous people think that because there's so many
problems here, that it's scary to go there, but Alhamdulillah
hamdulillah if you listen to the Palestinians, they get so excited,
and so happy and so satisfied when people from other countries they
come here, in fact inshallah for the people from the West, they
love the people from the West because we're allowed to go and
people do come here. Yes, there's difficulty we had to spend between
some the older fault they got inside very quickly at the airport
in Tel Aviv. Many of the brothers had to stay around for brothers
and young sisters had to stay around for about four hours, but
by about six to six and a half hours Hamdulillah we were all out.
Yes, that was difficult. But getting into these lands has never
been easy. Musa alayhis salam had to wait for his people had to wait
for 40 years to get back 40 years to get inside. In fact, Musa Islam
didn't even make it inside. And that's why the Hadith mentions
that he wanted to then die at least a stone throws away. And
thus he died and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said I
can actually point out his grave to you, which is by this red hill.
So it's never been easy for anybody but well hamdulillah one
thing is that we've got mashallah many older men and women with us,
you know, people who get tired after walking a bit and so on so
forth. But Al Hamdulillah once you get inside the facility of the
hotels, decent food is decent or Hamdulillah. And you go into the
masjid for foreigners, they don't hassle you too much at all. Once
you get inside, it's only a bit of hassle at the airport. Otherwise,
as long as you behave yourself that there's actually no hassle
whatsoever. So hamdulillah for example, today, we went to Jericho
we went to beta lamb and the Mufti of beta lamb, which is Bethlehem,
took us around and showed us showed us the number of places
that are of significance there. And we went to them one of the
oldest in habitations in the world, which is Jericho, that is
below sea level, we quickly pass through the Dead Sea, and we went
possibly school Qumran, but we didn't, we didn't go there. That's
where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found. And we saw a number of a
number of other places the maqam of Musa alayhis salam, that's not
where he's buried, but he passed by there he was there. And that's
why they've made a special kind of spot there with a masjid and so
on, so forth. And now we're actually on Mount olives. And
actually behind me, you can see this wonderful picture of the
whole of Masjid Luxa. I just want to clarify something very quickly.
Many of us think that musty Luxa is this building only on the
extreme left of this enclosed walled city, this enclosed walled
city, sorry, the enclosed walled city all the way around, that's
Old Jerusalem. And this top part here that extends from these walls
here, all the way to the back to the end of those trees. That is
all Masjid Luxor. So within this whole Masjid Al Aqsa, they've got
this building at the front which is called the Tivoli mosque. That
is generally known today as Masjid Luxa. And then you've got the Dome
of the Rock. Now I know anytime the Dome of the Rock has shown
people get a bit you know upset that why do they keep showing Dome
of the Rock the Dome of the Rock was the first building here. And
it was Amara, the Allahu Anhu that actually clean this spot out
because the Christians they have the Holy separate separate church
which is actually behind you. It's very difficult to make it out from
here, but it's behind there with those two main domes out there.
That's what they had all built up and this entire area was just a
rubbish dump. So, Amara, the Alon came. And he asked Where should I
you know clear a spot and start, you know, the place of a masjid.
So initially caught up about who was with him, he suggested that he
do it behind the rock, the rock is under the cookbook to Sahara and
under that dome, that's where the rock is. It's holds very great
significance among a number of different people. So he said there
but I'm going to be alone said no, I'm going to make it at the front
because kava bar is idea was that if you make the mustard behind
that behind the Dome of the Rock, then you will be facing to the
dough to the rock and to Makkah Makara Rama So Omar the Allahu
Anhu said to him that you still have some yahoodi hitting you that
you want to do that. So he started it off towards the front. These
buildings obviously are from later times Abdulmalik number one time
the marijuana times. But this whole thing is a masjid. So
initially when you would come into any of those gates of the masjid,
you'd have to take your shoes off straightaway. Now you they don't
make you do that. But all of that
up anywhere in that is the Masjid. So that needs to be clearly
understood that the whole place has a lot of significant sound.
And mashallah, as you can see this, there are issues that take
place, but we met an imam in a place called hellhole yesterday,
where eurosai Islam was supposed to have stopped there and stayed
there for a whole year. Mashallah, if you heard the story of this
Imam, you know, you'd be crying because of how, you know fortunate
we are, because he really hit home to most of us. He said that he has
not been able to come and visit mercy Luxa even though it is just
less than an hour's drive away, he hasn't been able to visit Massey
Luxa for 25 years. And he says, I can't even expect to go now
because number one, they don't give permission for people in the
West Bank to come unless they're over 50. And if you have a record
where you've been in prison before for anything, then you can't ever
get that permission. So for 25 years, he has not been too mushy
Luxor right now Hamdulillah. The amount of Maghrib has just
started. So inshallah we are going to go to pages are Kamala Harris.
I really encourage you all, to try to come and visit this beautiful
place. Just like Kamala Harris
