00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			My dear respective brothers and sisters,
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			first and foremost my brothers and my sisters,
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			I want to remind myself
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			and everybody sitting here to say Alhamdulillah.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			Thank your Lord and praise him that he
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			gave you the opportunity
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51
			to be able to come with this great
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			pillar of Hajj.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			And that is my brothers and my sisters
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			to be able to be sitting here today.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			Because if we did not come here today,
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			as the messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam he
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			said, Al Hajj your Arafa.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			Your Hajj is going to Arafah.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			And if you miss this day, then you
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			can wave goodbye to your Hajj.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			Then our Hajj would be invalid.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			So we should be really really My brothers
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:19
			and my sisters, be thankful to Allah subhanahu
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:19
			wa ta'ala.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			There's people who couldn't make it.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			They had leave us behind
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			over there in the UK.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			Some people they managed to get here, but
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:29
			unfortunately,
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			they may have gotten into an accident.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			Maybe they weren't able to come to Arafa
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			even though they managed to get on the
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:37
			flight.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:40
			Like I mentioned time and time again, Al
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:47
			Sharif towards inviting you to perform your Hajj.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			This is an invitation from Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			ta'ala.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			The messenger salallahu alaihi wa sallam, he said,
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			The one who goes for Umrah, the one
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			who goes for Hajj, the one who goes
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:07
			for Jihad,
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			all of them are the guests
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:16
			He invited them and they accepted the invitation.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala my brothers and my
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:19
			sisters,
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			He picked you out
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:22
			from 1,800,000,000
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			Muslims.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			He chose you.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			That should my brothers and my sisters
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			make you feel really really special.
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			That should make you be thankful to Allah
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			that He chose you from all of these
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:36
			people
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			to be able to be here today.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			On this great day my brothers and my
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:41
			sisters,
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			my brothers and my sisters, He doesn't swear
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			on anything except if it is really really
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			important. When Allah
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			said, These 10 days that we are currently
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:01
			living in, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he swore
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			by it.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			And one of these days is the day
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			of Arafa. Also in Surat Al Buruj, when
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			Allah
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17
			said, the again, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			he's swearing by the mashood
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			which is the day of Arafah.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			This day my brothers and my sisters is
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:26
			not a normal day. It is the best
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			day of your life. It is the most
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			important day of your life. The messenger salallahu
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			alaihi wa sallam told us,
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			There isn't any time that you can do
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:45
			righteous deeds that is more beloved to Allah
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:48
			than in these 10 days.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			And from these 10 days is the day
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:51
			of Arafah.
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			This is the day my brothers and my
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:54
			sisters,
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57
			the great aya, the great verse in Quran
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58
			came down.
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			A Jew came
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			to and he said to him,
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			There was an ayah that came down upon
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			you Muslims.
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			If this ayah came down
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			upon us yahud,
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:20
			upon us Jews, we would have taken that
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			day as a Eid. We would have taken
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			that day as the day of celebration.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27
			So Umar ibn Khattab, he asked him, which
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			eye are you speaking about? He said to
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:29
			him,
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38
			When Allah he said in surah Al Maidah,
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:41
			the day when I completed your religion
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44
			and I chose Al Islam as your religion
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47
			and I completed my favor upon you. This
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			ayah my brothers and my sisters, it came
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:53
			down when the Messenger salallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54
			was given the Khutbatulwada.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58
			The final farewell khutbah, and he was standing
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			in Arafah, and this is when this ayah
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			came down. My brothers and my sisters,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			this is the day when the Messenger sallallahu
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			alaihi wa sallam he said,
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			This is the day that Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			ta'ala.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			There is no day that Allah frees
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			as many necks from the fire.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			Many people are freed from the fire
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:27
			on this day. So ask Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:27
			ta'ala
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			to make you from those who are protected
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			from the fire. Then the messenger sallallahu alaihi
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			wa sallam he said,
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala comes down. He comes
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			close to the servant.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:44
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			he begins to boast
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:48
			to the malaikah. And he says to them,
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			What did they come for?
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:52
			Showing them
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			that all of these
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			judge, whether he is rich, whether he is
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			poor, whether he is somebody who's living a
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			wonderful lifestyle,
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			whether this individual
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			is in any part of the world,
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07
			all of them came in these two garments
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:09
			for Allah
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:13
			There is nothing that separates them
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:14
			except these two garments.
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17
			All of them are wearing the same thing
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:19
			for Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			begging him to forgive their sins. My brothers
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			and my sisters, there was a time when
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			the great Tabia'i,
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			Abdullah ibn Mubarak,
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:30
			Rahimullah wa ta'ala,
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			He came to Sufyanath Thuri. He's another great
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			savior. And Sufyanath Thuri
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			was on his knees
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			on the night of Arafah.
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:42
			On the night of Arafah, he asked him
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:43
			a very
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			important question.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			He said to him,
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			Who is the worst of the people who
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			have come here today? He said,
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:57
			The worst of those who came here today
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:57
			is
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:03
			The one who thinks that Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:03
			ta'ala
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:06
			is not going to forgive him. My brothers
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			and my sisters, this is your opportunity
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:12
			that we have been waiting for. We've accumulated
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:13
			so many sins
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			throughout our lives. We've made so many mistakes.
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:20
			We've oppressed so many people. We've backbited so
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			many individuals.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:22
			We've slandered.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:25
			We've spoken idle filthy speech.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			This is the day to ask Allah subhanahu
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			wa ta'ala.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			My brothers and my sisters, if we don't
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			get forgiven today, when do you think we're
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			going to be forgiven? When Allah
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			is saying to you, ask me so I
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
			can forgive you.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			One of the things my brothers and my
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45
			sisters that makes this day so special
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:48
			is the fact that the du'a you make
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:51
			is being responded back to, is being accepted.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:52
			The messenger said,
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			The best dua that a person can make
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			is the dua on the day of Arafah.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			And the best thing that I and the
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			Prophet said before me is to say,
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			Do not feel shy to ask Allah Subhanahu
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:24
			Ask Allah
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			with certainty.
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			Do not think, maybe if I ask, I
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			will get accepted.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			This is the wrong mentality,
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33
			the wrong way to ask Allah
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:37
			The messenger salallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said,
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			When you make dua,
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			make the dua with certainty
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:44
			that Allah
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			is going to respond back to you. You
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			have to be certain that Allah
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			can give you anything
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			at any place and any time. And I
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56
			always say this my brothers and my sisters,
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			the word impossible
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			the word impossible
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:01
			should not exist
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:03
			in the dictionary of a Muslim,
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:05
			especially on a day like this.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:08
			The word impossible
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			should not exist.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			Anything is possible, my brothers and my sisters,
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:16
			on this day. But it requires you to
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19
			ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. In another hadith,
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:22
			the messenger salallahu alaihi was telling me
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:32
			Allah is too shy, he is too generous
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34
			that when his servant,
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:37
			he raises his hands to him, that he
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:38
			sends him back empty handed.
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:41
			It is you that needs to ask, and
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43
			Allah is too shy to reject you. So
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:44
			my brothers and my sisters,
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			make the dua for yourselves,
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:47
			for your
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:54
			and
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:57
			difficult time. Make du'a for everyone
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00
			that you know, and yourself especially with all
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			the problems that we are going through.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:04
			And last but not least my brothers and
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:07
			my sisters, from the Maqasidul Hajj,
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:10
			from the objectives of Hajj, is that you
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:11
			remember the ambiya.
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:14
			That you remember the ambiya, the prophets, the
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:15
			messengers,
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:18
			and especially the messenger salallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:21
			Some of us, we come from homes, we
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			come from backgrounds where we are living a
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			very very luxurious lifestyle.
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:29
			We have very very wealthy backgrounds.
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:30
			We came to Mecca,
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:32
			some of us were staying
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			in very very high priced hotels,
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37
			some of us were staying in normal hotels.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			If you look at Hajj, my brothers and
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:42
			my sisters, it makes a person humble.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			It causes a person to attain
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:47
			a characteristic, and that is what
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50
			to become a humble individual.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			I mentioned this in the bus, and I'm
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			going to mention it again. The Messenger salallahu
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58
			alaihi wa sallam, they didn't have these buses,
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:01
			they didn't have these planes, they didn't have
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:02
			virgin Atlantic
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			that we might have back home. They used
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:06
			to be walking
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:08
			on their feet
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			in this blazing heat.
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:11
			But alhamdulillah,
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13
			Allah gave us these buses.
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:15
			Remember these prophets,
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:16
			these messengers,
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			the messenger salallahu alaihi wa sallam,
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:21
			Muhammad ibn Abdullah,
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			and also his companions
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24
			who used to walk
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			from place to place. You can see how
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			much difficulty we are going through
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			even though we have all of these things.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:33
			But my brothers and my sisters,
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:35
			when you take this principle,
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:38
			and you apply in your life, it will
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:39
			make you a more thankful individual.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:41
			The messenger said,
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:51
			Look at those below you, look at those
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			who are less fortunate than you, look at
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			those who have less than you, and do
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:58
			not look at those above you. Because that
		
00:11:58 --> 00:11:58
			will make you
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			thankful to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:05
			Always remember this in every aspect of your
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07
			life, whether it is in your marriage, whether
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			it is in your families,
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			whether it is in your children, whether it
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12
			is in your jobs,
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			look at those below you because that will
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			make you more thankful.
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			All of this that which we are doing
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20
			my brothers and my sisters,
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:23
			one aspect, one characteristic,
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:24
			one quality
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:27
			that we should take back home is thanking
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Because my brothers and
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			my sisters, if you thank
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:34
			Allah that He chose you to be here
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:37
			today, it could be a reason why Allah
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			brings you back again. The Messenger sallallahu alaihi
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:42
			wa sallam, or shall I say Allah says,
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			This is a favor, this is a blessing
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:49
			from Allah
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			and He will reward those who are thankful.
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:54
			Allah also He says,
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:59
			Thank me, and I'm going to give you
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			more. How many of us my brothers and
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			my sisters, when we came here, when we
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			received the news that we are going on
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:08
			Hajj, we thanked Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:09
			Wallahi,
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11
			if we didn't my brothers and my sisters,
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			we are really really falling short
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			because the person who has been blessed,
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			he thanks Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and he
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:23
			rushes to it. The messenger salallahu alaihi wa
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			sallam as he came in the hadith,
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			If he was given the good news that
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:34
			something of something that makes him happy, he
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:35
			would rush
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:38
			to making sages of shukr. He would prostrate
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:41
			to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in thanks. That's
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			something the least that we can do. My
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:46
			brothers my sisters, and perhaps Allah will keep
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:48
			giving us more and more and more.
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:30
			And inshaAllahu ta'ala now, we're going to pray
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:33
			2 duhr and 2 asr, and we're going
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			to combine between these 2, insha'Allah ta'ala.
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:44
			Yeah. We'll
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:46
			have to saw our layout. Cut from the
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:49
			old account. Oh. And because we open Oh,
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:50
			okay. And because the old account Yes, sir.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:51
			Yeah. Yes, sir. Yeah. Yes, sir. Yeah. Yes,
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:52
			sir. Yeah. Yes, sir.
