Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi wa Salatu was Salam
o Allah say even more saline while he was speaking you about raka was
seldom at the Sleeman kefir on Ely only been another
Subhan Allah the SRB and de la isla Minh and Masjid Al haram me
in Al Masjid la sala de Burkina hola who Nordea who mean? Tina in
who was Amir will proceed.
So the color who Navin there's a poem I'm going to read to you by
Nizza. By nivara a Bernie. He says, I asked about Mohamed within
your walls. I begged news of Jesus in your streets of Jerusalem,
Swift this path between heaven and earth, Swift this path between
heaven and earth. What this is speaking about is, this is saying,
giving an indication of why Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam was brought from Masjid Al haram to Masjid locks are first.
Why he had this special meeting here. And this stop here before
going up to the heavens. According to Yakut al homily, was written
more at Jamal Bolden, which is a dictionary of all the Islamic
cities. It's in Arabic. And what he says is that one of the things
about Jerusalem is that this is the closest place to the heavens.
According to some, it's where the door of the heavens is. So that's
why he came in this direction Allah knows best.
When you talk about Masjid Al Aqsa, there's a number of names
that we are going to try to clarify. First you hear about
Masjid Al Aqsa.
You hear about goods or goods or Sharif, you hear about Baytril
MOQ. This by Atul moped does elbaite will look at this and they
will make this so you have all of these different names.
What we're going to be discussing is that how Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa salam addressed this place, what he said about this
place, what has been mentioned in the Quran about this place, and
also how the people after Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
wasallam over the centuries have approached this place. So that
inshallah we can understand the line and the tradition
in which we're following. Because we're in the, in the century that
we're in the 15th, Islamic century, after 14th centuries of
people who have come and gone in this place, through its various
turmoils and difficulties, its various successes and glories, the
different people that came in those times, were coming at a
particular time in history here as well. So
this is a place apparently, in which a number of prophets
came here or at least close by.
And that is, according to the general classical opinion, and the
majority opinion, though there have been doubts raised about this
recently, which I'm going to be looking into a bit more. But I
think even the skeptics about this or those that hold different
opinions, they still believe that ESRD Salam
Zackary Salam, Yahia Ali Salam, and Rasulullah sallallahu some
definitely visited this area. And even if you don't go by any of the
other prophets, even if they deny that they lived in this area, the
one thing that definitely happened which cannot be denied, is that
all the prophets came and prayed here. Right so that's a very big
deal 124,000
prophets possibly around that number to have prayed in this
entire on this entire land. Obviously, this Masjid will be
very small for 124,000 meaning just this current Masjid at the
front, so it had probably have to be this entire land where it was
moving on, there's a hadith that's related by Imam Hakim, which is
Sahai. So he from Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Anhu. He says the Khurana
100 in the Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam a you whom are
often missed you do Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa salam al
Masjid debate in mock this.
We will once discussing by the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam
whether Masjid of Rasulullah sallallahu Madina, Munawwara was
superior, or this place which had more virtue Baytril muchness. The
two so Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Salah tune
theme SGD Hatha of Dolman herba is Salawat in fee. So the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam just to clarify the significance of
prayer, said that the Salah in his masjid, which is in Madina,
Munawwara was four times superior to the prayer here, four times as
much superior while an interminable salah, and what a
beautiful place of prayer. Then he said something very interesting
which is so perfectly
A fitting for this time at least is what are you she can Hakuna the
Rajouri Mithila Shakuni foresee him in an RD Hi through Yara Minho
beta lock this How you doin? Lumina duniya Jamia
o cada hydro Mina dunya are mafia, which is that soon can will come a
time soon there will be a state soon will come a time when for a
person to even have as much as the rope of his horse, that much area
of land of the of the earth
from which he can just see the beetle mock this that would be
superior to him than the dunya and everything inside it
for a person to possess or own just as much amount which is
probably a one a few foot or something a centimeter, a few
centimeters of the rope of one's animal that if they possessed even
that much, then that would be valued more than the world and
that is exactly the state of the Jerusalemites today, those who
live here will not move even if they're offered 20,000 or 20
million in fact for you know, for a room or for the home or whatever
the case is. It's just the value of it is is just so amazing. And
the difficulty as you know the difficulty of even coming here
possessing something and owning something is a whole different
story. So that's what I wanted to start with from with this hadith,
which I felt really explain what this was all about. Now, Jaco Jaco
tell hammer hammer we who this great scholar who wrote a book on
March Jamal Bolden, the dictionary of cities, so any Muslim name of
cities that you've read in classical Arabic, Islamic
literature, whether mentioned in the Quran, or the Sunnah, or even
afterwards, from you know, the great places that our great
scholars of the past came from, mashallah, when he died in 626
Hijiri, which is about 1229 Gregorian until his time you you
probably will not find anything missing in his book, it's one of
the best go to books, if you want to for example, you've heard a
strange name like Allah methoxy so as seracs you'd go to his book and
he'll explain exactly where this place was what it was the main
ideas about this and which great scholars came from this place. So
you know, Medina, mocha, mocha Rama we know these places anyway,
but even some strange names you take hammer, Hala novelists,
whatever any of these even the strangest names in a horror sign
and so on. So he writes that the word mocha at this URL Mocha, this
Baytril, mocha, this means, purify it,
period. That's why they say holy, it actually means purified.
The meaning of glorify Your holy name, naka de Sucre, naka de Soto,
when we say that to Allah, because Allah is the kudos, he means he's
the glorified one, the purified one, the one beyond any defects.
And that's why this bait will mark this means the home or the house
of purity, the house of purity. So in sha Allah, we're here our
hearts will be purified by inshallah being in the house of
purity.
One of the ways of our great elders is that whenever you see a
good connotation of something good meaning of something, then you
make a dua appropriate to that. So when you hear that this is beetle
muck, this home of purity, then you make a DUA, may Allah grant us
purity, a life of purity, because we're in the home of purity.
And that's where Now where does the word muscle Aqsa come from?
I'll tell you a little story about that once while I was an imam in
America once there was a new, a non Muslim that came along and he
had a few questions. And you know, Masjid Al Aqsa is constantly in
the Muslim discourse today, everybody speaks about it. So he
asked, I've read the whole Quran and Masjid Luxa is not mentioned
in the Quran. And I said, of course it's mentioned in the Quran
is in the beginning of the Surah Al Israa, beginner 15 Subhadra.
You know, he says, No, it's not mentioned I've read the entire
Quran. I said, which Quran did you read? Because I'm half is of the
Quran. This is the verse. So he says obviously he read the
translation. So when I asked him Which translation it wasn't, it
was Abdullah Yusuf Ali's translation. Generally a decent
translation has some issues in Infigen. So we picked up the copy
and yes, it said in their glory Glorified be the one who took his
servant from the I forget his translation for Masjid Al haram.
He actually translates Masjidul haram from the
glorified sorry, from the Sacred Precinct, I think he says to the
furthest precent Aqsa, furthest precent, he says, There's no rush
in Luxor. So what Abdullah Yusuf Ali has done is he's translated
Masjid Aqsa masjid means the place of soja or religious precent.
access means the furthest. The reason they call it a mystery Luxa
is because for the Arabs, for people in Makkah Makara Madina
Munawwara. This was the only other Masjid that was known and it was
distance away. Because you know this had this Masjid was
originally built 40 years after the Kaaba was originally built.
Now who built the first Kaaba or this place? First, there's a
difference of opinion, which we'll be going into later. But just to
give you an idea, some say it was angels who built the first first
haram in Makkah, and it was the angels then who probably made the
first otherwise it was Adam Alayhis Salam, and then who 40
years later build this space or one of his sons builders, nobody
knows for sure, though. Nobody knows for sure. So we'll look at
that a bit later. But that's why it's called Mercy Luxa the distant
mosque because it's so distant.
That's why a lot of the people here the most famous title they
give it as outputs.
Puts comes from produce the same mark this purity, this is a place
of purity. That's the idea.
Now, if we look at McCarthy revenue, Sulaiman McCarthy
original cinema and died in 150 Hijiri so much earlier, he was I
believe it was from the turbo in or after retirement one of the
major movers city of the Quran. He writes that when Allah subhanaw
taala says in the Quran, when a Jaina who were looted ill or the
Lottie Baraka fee when in iron Amin, which means but we delivered
him meaning we delivered Ibrahim and his nephew loot Allah He Salam
to the land which we have blessed for all beings. He means
Jerusalem. So he thought it was Jerusalem. As I said that there is
a new line of inquiry and idea that that was not Jerusalem, and
that was maybe Hadramaut or somewhere else or whatever the
case is, that still needs to be studied. But this is what the MUFA
serine have been saying for many, many centuries. Number two, he
also says that when Allah says in the Quran, what You're unloved
among Yama, OMA who yet and we're in Houma. Illa Robert in the
karate Marine 30 karate when marine again We made the son of
Mary and his mother as a sign.
We gave them both shelter and high ground,
afforded rest and security and furnish them with water springs.
He says that was Jerusalem. Number three, when Allah subhanho wa
Taala says Subhanallah the SRB Abdullah, he laid a middle muscle
haram that is for certain Jerusalem, as we've discussed al
Masjid Luxa that one nobody doubts that aspect. Then there's another
ayah Surah Noor feeble youth in Athena Allah Allahu interfor,
where you've got a fee hustle, your Sabir Allah who we have Bill
who do we will solidi Journal, The Journal on lateral he him teacher
or Tamala, but you're an antique thriller, where economy solid
timber Eater is your half winner. And it's a wonderful verse says
that these are the homes or houses in which Allah has permitted to be
raised, and his name to be commemorated there in there in
glorifying him in the morning and evening, our men whom neither
commerce nor trafficking diverts from the remembrance of Allah. And
that's why literally in this place, you will actually see a lot
of these people that here just to protect this question, they're
here just to fulfill the rights of this Masjid. You know, if you come
10 years ago, you come 10 years later, those are the people who
will be here, and they have dedicated them. So as you can see,
it's not easy for people to come and pray here. You know, you're
probably wondering why it's you only get 100 people for one solid,
whereas we've come from so far, there's so many people who come
spending so much money and hassle and so on to come and pray here.
And then the locals, there's 35,000 Palestinians here, you
know, just in the look, just in the Old City, among which the
majority 98% are Muslim. So where are they? Well, if you have to
come for every prayer, you and your work and you know you're
going to pray in your local mosque, there are other small
massages to come here you need 15 minutes good 15 minutes to come
in. You know, it's just like maca. Mercado Madina Munawwara but then
there are still people who as you can see they will be coming for
every prayer and women Subhan Allah as well. So that this is
Inshallah, part of this verse as well. There's a number of other
verses when Surah talara wa arachnophobia were overthrown.
Comilla Xena Can we start off with a machete called are the Yamaha DB
allottee Baraka Nafisa, we made those who have been oppressed
succeed to both the E succeed to both the east and the west of the
land that we had blessed you Lord's good promise, promise to
the children of Israel was fulfilled.
Then in sort of math either you have another verse, your comb with
hotel ARDL mocha DESA ality Khattab Hola Hola, como wala
Tirtha duala at the bottom button Kalibo ha city in my people. This
is who Musa Ali salaam saying
My people go into the holy land which God has ordained for you do
not turn back or you will be the losers. Now remember it does say a
lot of the IMOCA dasa. He doesn't say Jerusalem. It doesn't say
codes, but it says mocha DESA but this is where they have the room
to deny that this is Jerusalem. Do you understand?
I'll refer you to the analysis. Look at some Hadith I will refer
you to the Allahu Anhu.
He says that I also Sula allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, which
was the first mosque to be built on the earth.
The very famous Hadith the Prophet Allah some said the sacred Masjid
of Makkah.
So then, I asked him, what was next? What was the second Masjid?
Thereupon, he replied, the Masjid in Jerusalem with a period of 40
days 40 years in between. So Allah gave Camana who was the first to
build it that nobody knows exactly. Some say it was the
angels ability first. than other money some also had a hand in it.
Some say was just other money, some who built it. Ibrahim Al
Islam definitely built Masjidul haram, no doubt about it. But if
you look in the Quran, it says way, the way we are Pharaoh
Ibrahim will cover in the middle Beatty, what is Marine, when
Ibrahim and his son is married aneema Salam were raising from the
foundations. So that gives us an understanding that they were not
necessarily building a whole new place from the foundations. The
Masjid had been built mostly Luxa muscle haram for sure, had been
built by the angels or the Prophet ultomiris alum before after that
it had been destroyed or worn out and become desolate walls had
fallen, but the base was still there. So what Ibrahim Allison was
told to do was to raise it again from its foundations.
So that is the Hadith related Muslim. Now let's look at the
virtues of the prayer. People have been asking about how much reward
you get here. So there are a number of Hadith about this.
There's reports ranging from 250
for every prayer 250 times a reward to 500 to 1000.
And some say 250 is the strongest thing a lot of the Saudi scholars
say 250 is the strongest opinion however others they give it much
more so let me go through the Hadith.
A Buddha Radi Allahu Anhu relates
that a Salah to Phil Masjidul haram be me at the Elfi Salatin
Salatin muscle Haram is 100,000 equivalents 100,000 was Salafi
misogyny be Alfie Salatin and solid in my masjid, which is
Madina? Munawwara is 1000. So 100,000 and 1000 According to this
generation, was solid fill bathe in muck this is half of 1000, it's
behind see me at the Salatin 500 So this is the one you got to
a higher rate in this one.
Man bizarre and Tiburon, you have related this idea with a sound
chain sound chain
with 30 alone relates another Hadith from Hakeem and Dara
Coutinho related Salah tune femur CD hada of Dolman arbery Salah
Salawat incubated macness
The Prophet Allah Rossum is saying that in my Masjid Salah is four
times superior to the Salatin Baytril macness said that's where
they get if you've got Salah in Masjidul in mercy the Naboo e to
be how much according to the previous Hadith
1000 So quarter of that will be 250. So this is where they get the
251 from because you know that 1000 In Medina, we know what I saw
250 here. Another one is related by Ibnu Marja, a Buddha with an
Imam Muhammad from the mood I've been to sad, but the Allahu Ana a
Salah to V 32 Alpha Salatin fee lady, this one's giving you a
higher rate 1000 prayers, like Salatin at this place holds a
reward of 1000. So this one is
a high, high end in that sense, then you've got another one, which
is
there's other Hadith a lot more. However, what we're going to
that's a bit of a weak Hadith anyway. So I said this even
beyond,
beyond 1000. But
there's a Hadith also that says 100, equivalent to 100 prayers.
It's also possible that the prophets Allah was told one thing,
he learned one thing through the war, he was the first that is this
much. Then he mentioned that he learned that no, it's actually
more than that. So then he mentioned another Hadith. Either
way, there's a huge amount of reward that's here, you know, 250,
which is the minimum Hamdulillah 1000 Hamdulillah. You know,
whatever the case is, then of course you can
At the multiplied with the GMR, right? The fact that he's gonna
that's 27 times 25 times extra anyway, right and then and then so
on all of that gets multiplied Imam Iraqi Allama Iraqi, he has
said that basically the the Hadith would say 1000 prayers he goes
with that one. So that's we'll leave it there
there's a hadith that's related from Abdullah Hypno fayrouz that
daily me from AMRAAM Lhasa, the Allahu Anhu. He says that
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Sulayman IGNOU the
wood.
He asked Allah subhanho wa Taala for three things.
He was given two of those things immediately. Or he was given two
of those things. And I hope the prophets Allah sent me saying that
he'd be also be given the third thing. He asked him for a kingdom
like no other. And he was given that he then asked him for a
judgment, you know, the ability to make a judgment that was similar
to the judgment of Allah meaning getting it right. That's why
Suleimani salaam, his judgments in a number of cases were more
correct than even his father, though that he sounds judgments.
There's a number of stories about that.
For example, there's one famous story that a woman or two women
started fighting over a child,
one of them had lost her child. And there was another child who
both of them started fighting over that child that this is my child,
this is my child. I mean, you might be wondering how you could
mistake your child. Well, I mean, don't children get mistaken in
hospitals nowadays, and only be to be discovered 10 years later? 15
years sometimes later, right? So it's a possibility. So they both
go with this discussion to Tao Danny salon that was already
salaam, he gave a decision for one of them. But then when they enter
Sulaiman, it said upstream on on Islam said, You know what, I'm
just going to split this child into two and make it half off.
Now, clearly, that sounds like a very cruel decision. But no, this
is just to weed out the truth. You have to say some things like this,
just to read out the truth. So he says, I'm going to sacrifice this
child or cut it in half, you get half and you get half. So
immediately, the younger one she said, No, no, no, no, no, it's her
child give it to her. Then he realized that you must be her
child, the younger ones, because she was more concerned for this
child that I'd rather haven't living child somewhere in the
world and a half a child that is dead. So he said, Okay, it must be
yours and he gave it to her.
So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that I hope this
third to our office and what was that dua of his, his daughter was
that he asked Allah subhana wa Tada mon atta hurdle bait, you
read debate and mock this. Now in this hadith, it says you read
obaidul mark this, which gives the proof that Slimani Salam was in
beta and mock this
right. So anyway,
who whoever comes to this Masjid meaning beta mock this law URI do
Illa Salaat fee and the only intention he has for coming here
is to have is to pray Sadat in it.
A Yahoo Raja min hottie Urtica Yeoman wala to OMO. Then insha
Allah he will come away from his sins, just like the day his mother
gave him birth, something similar to an accepted Hajj.
So Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam then said what are you a
Hakuna cod liver, I also hope that he has been given this third
wish are the third dua has been accepted. Imam Nissei has related
this hadith and so has it been homage and have not abandoned him?
No. Hoceima in there, so he and Al Hakim in his mustard rock.
Number of scholars have said that this hadith is a sahih Hadith. So
that is why it mentions that ignore Omar the Allahu Anhu used
to come here for you Salafi who Allah Shafi Hema he would come
here he would not even drink water that was available. You know, we
saw that Seville Seville means a pathway. The reason they call it
Seville could be a number of reasons one is a pathway of the
water. Or it could mean Ignis Seville, that this is for the
people who are walking past that they that they can get free water.
He wouldn't drink any water here. And the reason is, he says that
because
law you read in the Salafi that people come here only for solids.
Right? And that means your Nia should not be to do shopping
Hamdulillah you know, it's not like other places where there's
big malls and so on. Right? So alhamdulillah in that sense, this
is a very protected place. Unfortunately. Maka McConnell
Madina Munawwara despite the great glory all the malls have slightly
shifted focus, get me to his car T jobs and you know, get me this,
that and the other and all the rest of it. But here Subhanallah
The only thing you can do here is basically do this and maybe
give sadaqa to the poor, right? Maybe by a few dates or something
like that if you're lucky, or olives right? But the focus
inshallah needs to be this
what are your tea Hillier out in dunya we in whatever direction and
he says that nobody they don't come here for any dunya we reason
and no for any good reason. If you came here for any other reason,
then all of our time at the airport and all the hassle was
wasted. And if you came here for the masjid than all of that in sha
Allah is greater rewards Hamdulillah
this is the place in which Isa Al Islam spoke in the cradle.
This is the place where Allah subhanaw taala raised a Saudi
Salam up. This is the place where Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said
that if you're going to go specially to pray somewhere I want
to clarify this hadith for you. This is the most famous Hadith
that's related by Muslim or Muslim. It's very sahih
the province of Assam said that you should only saddle an animal
animal animal should only be saddled for one of three mustards.
What does that mean? Let's take London for example. Right now in
London, you've got a few famous mosques. And you say you got a
local Masjid. But you say no, no, no, I'm gonna get more reward if I
go to East London Mosque or if I go to Regent's Park mosque, or if
I go to Masjid or Kuba in Stamford Hill, right? Or whatever, right?
Or Queens road or whatever the case is. If you go with that
intention, I'll get more reward there and you leave your local
Masjid then that's wrong. Your local Masjid is you is you, that's
who you are. Right? And that's what you should be populating your
local German, your local place of congregation on Friday. However,
there are three masjids where you can actually go specifically, take
a trip for it and you will get more rewarded. That's Masjid Al
haram, Masjid Luxa and
Masjid Nabawi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So that's what this is the
one mercy the prophets Allah some spoke about gabra The Allah carob
is quoted as saying that the all the prophets visited Jerusalem out
of veneration. And again, Allah knows best exactly that. But we
know that from the Hadith about mirage that they came on that on
that day, it says the prophets Allah, some came here, Titus
horse, he made his Torah gods. And then after that he sees behind him
all of these prophets, and they will waiting there, and Gibreel
Ali salaam grabs him and makes him the imam, what a wonderful sight
that must have been. What a wonderful state that must have
been. In fact, it's related. That when Amara, the Allahu Anhu came
here, and he wanted to this place was a dump, at that time, the
place that was inhabited because it was inhabited by Christians at
that time. It was the Holy the sepulcher Church, which we're
going to go to tomorrow, right? We're going to look at that
tomorrow, inshallah. And that's where in front of it is the masjid
Omar, because he wanted to pray. So the priest or whoever he was
said, praying the church, and Ramadan will refuse. And I don't
know why the peace was telling him to pray in that church, but he
refused. And for their own benefit. He says that if I prayed
in this church, the Muslims that will come after me and say, Oh, my
God prayed here, Hadas, we're taking this. So he prayed outside
it by the doorstep. That's where they've made that mercy, the
rumor. Last time when I came here 2008 We met the person who's in
who actually excavated it. The authorities were not letting them
excavate. There was a part of it that was there. But they
discovered a whole new area of it. That was all filled up with
something. But they couldn't do it. So at nighttime in they would
do it secretly just take out the soil and all that and then get rid
of it. And now it's much bigger than it used to be before.
He came here to look for the this site, and it was a dump. So he
cleared out away, he cleared out a place. And he asked Where shall we
build? Where should we build something here where we start off
the Masjid? Because the whole area is Masjid but where should we
started off? So this curb bar was originally from the Jewish tribes
who become Muslim, well aware of the he was well aware of their
traditions and everything like that. He gave an idea. And he
said, Build it behind the blacks behind the stone behind the rock
of the sutra, right behind the big rock. So that
in that case, then you will also face towards Makkah. And also face
towards Masjid Luxa. Because if you do it from this end, this is
the furthest end of the masjid where we are, right, this is the
furthest end of the muscle where we are, then there is no more
muscle Luxa beyond this, but if you do it down there, then you've
got muscle Luxa still in front of meaning a good area of it. So I'm
gonna do that. No, you You still got this other tradition, right?
I'm going to build it at the front. So that's why the
foundation of this place was laid here. Otherwise the masjid is the
whole thing. Do you understand why this? So that's why you know
people they keep saying when you put Kuba to Sahara the beautiful
building because the architecture on there is one of the
most wonderful pieces of architecture in the world. That's
why even on our poster we had that and there was a number of people
that came tweeting me and say, take this off. This is not this
you Luxor, right. Mashallah, is the other building, and they've
got it wrong. Yes, that's not much he looks at us. It's called
Kubernetes Docker in particular, but it is Masjid Luxa. In general,
right, because they believe that there's a conspiracy to take out
this the focus of this building from the minds of Muslims. What is
we've learned today from the archaeologists, that the composite
soccer is actually more valuable to the Jewish people than this
place. In fact, they'd rather take that place and give this place to
the Muslim according to the archaeologist. So
as as, as the Oculus mentioned, there's numerous fallacies and
things like that, that go around anyway. Abdullah Hypno Abbas is
reported to have said, that the Sacred House was built by prophets
and was inhabited by prophets, there is not even a space even as
small as a hand span, that has been at least the sight of a
prayer of the prophet or an angel. The gel as you know, will not be
able to enter Makkah macabre Madina Munawwara and he will not
be able to enter Jerusalem
at least, you know, within the certain area of Jerusalem. That's
why it was very interesting is that it says that a Saudi salami
will descend in Damascus,
that the Eastern minaret which is a white minerals, and that is the
one which is actually close to the Christian side of Damascus, right?
It was on the opposite side of where I used to go and study I was
studying on the on the right hand side, this is on the eastern side.
It's been closed and locked. But that's where he will descend.
Then he'll find out that the John has, the gel would have been
around, find out that the gel has gone. And it says in a it says in
a hadith that the gel will have a donkey whose wingspan will be this
many cubits a donkey with wings just didn't sound doesn't make
sense. But it makes sense today with the possibility that we're
talking about a plane.
And then it mentions very clearly that Gibreel that Eastside Islam
will kill the jewel in the Barbie loot. Close to the gateway of loot
the door of loot. And the door of loot. I don't know if you guys
noticed when you came from the airport, the first area to come
on. You're right, it says a lot of loot. Right. That is next to the
airport. Ben Gurion International Airport possible there's a flight
will be coming in and wallah who I am. I'm just speculating here that
this is the job we'll find his plane or whatever the case is, and
that's where he will die. But we will be in Sharla visiting loot
this bubble look this place is it's an it's a city. It's a small
town. There's a Tablighi markers there as well. Right? And it's
very close to the airport. It's like haze you know, Hounslow,
these areas in London close to the airport. Now there's a number of
other narrations, some Saheeh some not very so he, I'm just gonna
mention them to you. And I'm not you know, I'm not telling you that
they also he, it says For example, it is also in Jerusalem that the
trumpet will blow on the Day of Judgment. On the rock of Jerusalem
the caller will proclaim the Day of Judgment. There's numerous
things that people have said Allah knows best.
There is a Hadith though it says, Imran who Baitul muck this
horrible Yathrib
Baytril McCullough muchness becoming inhabited will be the
sign of yellow strip, which means Madina Munawwara becoming
desolate. So if you look at the signs of the Day of Judgment, a
lot of them relate to this area. Because it talks about MK
Kumbhakarna, the Kaaba being dismantled by Abyssinians or by
Africans. It mentions that in a hadith, it mentions that Medina
will become desolate. But for this area, it talks about a lot of
things are going to happen here. Because Italia salaam, he'll be
able to kill the germ. However, when Jews my Jewish come around,
he won't be able to kill them, then he will go, I believe it's
Mount Sinai and he'll make dua against them. And then Allah will
cause them to all perish. So this area has a very otherwise I don't
see where the determination that you have in the people of this
area, the pride, the pride and the determination, despite all the
difficult Can you imagine not having a citizenship, having a
temporary citizenship, not being able to build on your house, not
being able to you know, just trouble wherever you go, not
having freedom of movement. And still having that mashallah that
pride of who you are what you are Subhanallah there's something very
special about this, they are protecting this place, that's
basically what it is. So I G but Azzam IG him that the people
haven't me
Allah subhanaw taala to reward them for that and grant them great
understanding.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in a hadith of Muslim. He
says Abu Huraira the unknown relates that prophesy Rossum said,
I saw myself in a big congregation of MVR Prophets for either
moussaka him. There was Musa Ali Salam standing there you suddenly
use praying
for either Roger and Darwin jerdon He was a medium stature he
described gave him some characteristics got a gnome in
reality shanwa It was as though he was he looked like a man from the
Chenoa tribe, the Chenoa tribe was well known. So he looks like he
looked like a man from the Shenmue tribe. Then he said what either a
sub memoriam suddenly I saw isa ignore Millennium Alehissalaam
caught him on Usili he was also praying, standing a caribou NAS be
Shaban orwa took numerous routes. He said the closest person in
resemblance to him is Ottawa Edna Masuda the hola Juan, if you want
to see your auto it was rude. He looks like Jesus peace be upon
him. And then he said what is Ibrahim and suddenly there was
Ibrahim alayhi salam called him and you suddenly he was also
praying a Shiva who nurse B he saw he will come and the closest in
resemblance to Iranian Islam is yours truly. That's what he said.
So he become meaning your man, the Rasulullah sallallahu because this
is great, great grandson
400 is solid, then it was solid time. So maybe they were doing
this sooner or whatever it was 400 is solid. It came salaam solid
time for a month to whom and I lead them in prayer, Hadith and
Muslim.
There's a number of others that speak about that that time.
Then as I said, there's a
Hadith from Maimunah. Who was us one of the slave girls of
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. She said yeah rasool Allah
often Alfie Beatty and mark this. Tell us something about beta mark
this, give us some ruling command about beta mark this What should
our approach be? set E to who for Sol LwV. Go to it and pray in it.
Go to it and pray in its
Wakanda till billet is Dhaka, Harbin, he mentioned that during
that time, there was obviously a war going on between the Romans.
In Cairo. Saul was awesome. It was the Romans that had beaten macness
Jerusalem, there was a wall. So you couldn't really go because you
know, the book, The expedition of taboo against the Romans and of
course it is I'm gonna prepare this entire army with Osama bin
Zayed Rhodiola one
as its commander before he passed away, that was to the Romans to go
in this direction. So there was a war at the time. So then the
promises and said okay for England to if you can't go there, if you
can't go there, and I'm praying it then send some oil for its lamps.
Now hamdullah this place is being looked after hamdulillah is being
looked after. So what they generally say is that
you can give to the poor of the area, because that they needed as
well in this place is being looked after. So at Hamdulillah that
gives us an understanding. I'll just quote the last Hadith,
unquote the last Hadith here, which is related by Muslim
Muhammad. We can't do it on this occasion, but in the future, you
can plan this, which is that
Omar Hakim, the daughter of omega YBNL. Agnes relates from almost
selama Radi Allahu anhu, her wife of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam that I heard the prophets Allah some saying, Whoever ways
the Haram whoever puts on the ground for Umrah or Hajj from
Masjid Luxa he will be forgiven. All of his past sins will be
forgiven. That's why you have numerous people who come here. I
have a friend classmate who has been coming over the last 1015 20
years maybe and he comes here and they put their haram here and they
sell a bagel or Humala bacon god of the city what a wonderful
sights. So maybe sometimes you can do this inshallah you can you can
do this. That's why there's a number of people who did this for
example, ignore Omar ready Allah Juan is related to have come here
to put his hat on and he went from here, Imran Hussain, who is
originally from Basra, if not Abbas from Sham, eponymous or with
from qadisiya, close to Kufa, they came here and then from here they
went for Umrah or Hajj, so that's inshallah on another occasion, but
that is basically the Hadith and the Quranic verses about it. May
Allah subhanho wa Taala give us the blessings of this place.
