00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al
hamdu Lillahi wa Salatu was Salam
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:07
			ala UD mursaleen while he was
Safi, he he marine and buried
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:11
			Alhamdulillah after being here for
the last few days,
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:16
			in Masjid, Luxa in Jerusalem and
in these blessed places
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			Alhamdulillah I just want to give
a quick round up. And the whole
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:24
			purpose of this is to actually
encourage all those brothers and
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:28
			sisters who live in countries that
would be allowed to come and visit
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:32
			here without too much difficulty.
So the whole purpose of this is
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35
			just to encourage you, because,
yes, there was difficulty for us
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			at the airport. Numerous people
think that because there's so many
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:42
			problems here, that it's scary to
go there, but Alhamdulillah
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:46
			hamdulillah if you listen to the
Palestinians, they get so excited,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:51
			and so happy and so satisfied when
people from other countries they
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			come here, in fact inshallah for
the people from the West, they
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			love the people from the West
because we're allowed to go and
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:01
			people do come here. Yes, there's
difficulty we had to spend between
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:06
			some the older fault they got
inside very quickly at the airport
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:10
			in Tel Aviv. Many of the brothers
had to stay around for brothers
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			and young sisters had to stay
around for about four hours, but
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:16
			by about six to six and a half
hours Hamdulillah we were all out.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:19
			Yes, that was difficult. But
getting into these lands has never
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:23
			been easy. Musa alayhis salam had
to wait for his people had to wait
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:28
			for 40 years to get back 40 years
to get inside. In fact, Musa Islam
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			didn't even make it inside. And
that's why the Hadith mentions
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:36
			that he wanted to then die at
least a stone throws away. And
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39
			thus he died and the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said I
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:43
			can actually point out his grave
to you, which is by this red hill.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47
			So it's never been easy for
anybody but well hamdulillah one
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			thing is that we've got mashallah
many older men and women with us,
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			you know, people who get tired
after walking a bit and so on so
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			forth. But Al Hamdulillah once you
get inside the facility of the
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:01
			hotels, decent food is decent or
Hamdulillah. And you go into the
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04
			masjid for foreigners, they don't
hassle you too much at all. Once
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:08
			you get inside, it's only a bit of
hassle at the airport. Otherwise,
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			as long as you behave yourself
that there's actually no hassle
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:14
			whatsoever. So hamdulillah for
example, today, we went to Jericho
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:18
			we went to beta lamb and the Mufti
of beta lamb, which is Bethlehem,
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:23
			took us around and showed us
showed us the number of places
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:26
			that are of significance there.
And we went to them one of the
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:31
			oldest in habitations in the
world, which is Jericho, that is
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:35
			below sea level, we quickly pass
through the Dead Sea, and we went
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			possibly school Qumran, but we
didn't, we didn't go there. That's
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:41
			where the Dead Sea Scrolls were
found. And we saw a number of a
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:45
			number of other places the maqam
of Musa alayhis salam, that's not
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:48
			where he's buried, but he passed
by there he was there. And that's
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			why they've made a special kind of
spot there with a masjid and so
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54
			on, so forth. And now we're
actually on Mount olives. And
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			actually behind me, you can see
this wonderful picture of the
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			whole of Masjid Luxa. I just want
to clarify something very quickly.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:07
			Many of us think that musty Luxa
is this building only on the
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:11
			extreme left of this enclosed
walled city, this enclosed walled
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:14
			city, sorry, the enclosed walled
city all the way around, that's
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:18
			Old Jerusalem. And this top part
here that extends from these walls
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:22
			here, all the way to the back to
the end of those trees. That is
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:26
			all Masjid Luxor. So within this
whole Masjid Al Aqsa, they've got
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			this building at the front which
is called the Tivoli mosque. That
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:34
			is generally known today as Masjid
Luxa. And then you've got the Dome
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			of the Rock. Now I know anytime
the Dome of the Rock has shown
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:40
			people get a bit you know upset
that why do they keep showing Dome
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:43
			of the Rock the Dome of the Rock
was the first building here. And
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:46
			it was Amara, the Allahu Anhu that
actually clean this spot out
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:51
			because the Christians they have
the Holy separate separate church
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54
			which is actually behind you. It's
very difficult to make it out from
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			here, but it's behind there with
those two main domes out there.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:00
			That's what they had all built up
and this entire area was just a
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:04
			rubbish dump. So, Amara, the Alon
came. And he asked Where should I
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			you know clear a spot and start,
you know, the place of a masjid.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:12
			So initially caught up about who
was with him, he suggested that he
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:16
			do it behind the rock, the rock is
under the cookbook to Sahara and
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:20
			under that dome, that's where the
rock is. It's holds very great
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:24
			significance among a number of
different people. So he said there
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27
			but I'm going to be alone said no,
I'm going to make it at the front
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:31
			because kava bar is idea was that
if you make the mustard behind
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			that behind the Dome of the Rock,
then you will be facing to the
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:39
			dough to the rock and to Makkah
Makara Rama So Omar the Allahu
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42
			Anhu said to him that you still
have some yahoodi hitting you that
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:46
			you want to do that. So he started
it off towards the front. These
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			buildings obviously are from later
times Abdulmalik number one time
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:52
			the marijuana times. But this
whole thing is a masjid. So
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:55
			initially when you would come into
any of those gates of the masjid,
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			you'd have to take your shoes off
straightaway. Now you they don't
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			make you do that. But all of that
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			up anywhere in that is the Masjid.
So that needs to be clearly
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:07
			understood that the whole place
has a lot of significant sound.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:12
			And mashallah, as you can see
this, there are issues that take
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:16
			place, but we met an imam in a
place called hellhole yesterday,
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:19
			where eurosai Islam was supposed
to have stopped there and stayed
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			there for a whole year. Mashallah,
if you heard the story of this
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:26
			Imam, you know, you'd be crying
because of how, you know fortunate
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:31
			we are, because he really hit home
to most of us. He said that he has
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:35
			not been able to come and visit
mercy Luxa even though it is just
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:39
			less than an hour's drive away, he
hasn't been able to visit Massey
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:43
			Luxa for 25 years. And he says, I
can't even expect to go now
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			because number one, they don't
give permission for people in the
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:49
			West Bank to come unless they're
over 50. And if you have a record
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:53
			where you've been in prison before
for anything, then you can't ever
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:58
			get that permission. So for 25
years, he has not been too mushy
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:01
			Luxor right now Hamdulillah. The
amount of Maghrib has just
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:05
			started. So inshallah we are going
to go to pages are Kamala Harris.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:08
			I really encourage you all, to try
to come and visit this beautiful
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			place. Just like Kamala Harris
