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.
