Abu Taymiyyah – Heart to Heart the in Mina on Hajj

Exact same thing. You will find everybody goes

to Arafa,

Everybody goes to Muzdalifa.

Everybody goes and does the tawaf, where you

will find that the people are different in

their reward.

Let me give you the example of the

salat.

Amen. He comes out of the prayer, and

he only got 10% of the reward.

Some only got 20%,

some 30%, some 40%.

What does that show you? That when Muhammad

prays and when Umar prays, they are completely

different.

Some of them, his mind might not be

present.

Likewise, the fasting. The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam

told us what? A

person who might fast, beg as nothing except

what? Thirst and hunger.

And likewise, the Hajj that we are doing.

Do you think the person who is arguing

247,

who is maybe swearing at one another,

who's getting angry, he's struggling to hold his

patience,

his anger, is the same as the person

who is sitting in his corner, he's doing

He's doing

tahaleel. He's doing tahmeed. He's doing the tasbih.

They're

not exactly the same.

So based upon that, you find that the

person he is rewarded,

and every single person he wants to go

back to his country,

and he's like the prophet said.

He's like a newly born baby. So we

all wonder so brothers and sisters,

I'm just telling you from now on, you

need to prepare yourself. It is very, very

hot. You will get bombarded.

You will find a lot of this. You'll

find a lot of crowding.

You really need to hold yourself together.

Don't let

other people be the reason why you ruin

your hedge and all your money goes to

waste.

As you know, aware inshallah,

today, we are in Mina. It is from

the sunnah of the prophet

to pray,

to pray,

to pray,

to also pray,

and to pray

tomorrow

in this place.

Then everybody will be heading towards Arafa.

Brothers and sisters,

this day Arafa

It

is a pillar from the pillars of Hajj.

If a person, he misses Arafa, he doesn't

have a Hajj.

The day when the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa

sallam, he said, I'll Hajj your Arafa.

Your Hajj is Arafa.

If your Hajj doesn't have Arafa,

then your Hajj is not there. So this

is the day, brothers and sisters, that we

need to make the most of.

Maximizing it and also take the optimum reward.

Year in, year out, I see people when

they go to Arafat, they're sitting around. They

may be chatting. They may be talking about

football or cricket.

It is a day, brothers and sisters, you

might not ever get a day like this.

It is the day when the prophet

said,

Brothers and sisters, it is

It is from the places where a person's

dua is accepted.

We have places in Al Hajj where a

person's dua is accepted.

This is one of these places.

Don't waste it. We have so many problems

in our lives, brother.

Maybe we have health problems, financial issues,

Our kids maybe they've gone astray. We have

so many issues taking place in our lives.

We have so many things that we can

ask Allah

What I normally tend to advise the Pujaz

every single year is to maybe leave where

the people are that might busy you

from your main purpose on this day of

getting closer to Allah

doing dhikr, making dua to Allah, go to

a place by yourself. It was on this

day.

The most virtuous dua is on this day.

So make dua to Allah

with whatever you need. Brothers and sisters, do

not belittle

what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala can give you.

Do not belittle what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

can respond to you. Sometimes when we make

dua,

we make like a half hearted dua. Maybe

inshallah make dua,

but I'm not 100%

sure, or I don't have full certainty

that my Dua will be accepted. So it's

a half hearted Dua.

From the means of getting your Dua accepted

as the prophet

is that a person is He

is He has certainty when making that dua.

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells in the Quran

that which Allah can give you is not

restricted.

It is only us. We have the lack

of belief in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

Rather, we should believe anything that we ask

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

to change our fortunes. We might be poor.

We might have no money. We might have

issues in with our parents or maybe with

our wives and our kids.

To ask Allah that Allah will change it

straight away.

If Allah wants something, he says, be and

it becomes.

So make this a day, brothers and sisters,

while you see this opportunity of making du'a

for everyone.

Not only yourselves,

but even for other people. The prophet Sallallahu

Alaihi Wasallam, he told us,

The Prophet told us in Musa Jaba.

Above his head is an angel.

Every time he makes the dua, he says,

Amin, the Malaika says, Amin with him. And

for you, you get the same thing.

In the English language, they have a method,

they say a statement, you're killing 2 birds

with 1 stone.

You're making du'a for yourself, and you're making

du'a for that person who's always 1 du'a.

So by you making dua for that person,

you're making dua for yourself as well. And

the Muslim Ummah is in dire need.

I don't need to tell you what's going

on in places like Syria,

and other places where the Muslim Ummah are

suffering. Some people, they don't even have food

to eat. They don't have drinks. You know,

let alone being able to go and eat

in restaurants, and etcetera. So brothers and sisters,

use this as an opportunity to make the

dua.

After that,

another point, it is from the sunnah of

the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,

down the day of Arafa.

And you'll find that a lot of Ikhtila

Faz argumentation and disputations take place on this

day of how much we need to pray.

If you go to Sahir Bukhari,

Imam Bukhari,

he chapter in his Sahih,

to do what the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

mentioned and to try and get his Sunnah

exactly how he done it.

Because after the prophet performed

this Hajj, what did he say?

Take from me the monastic. Take from me

the rituals of Hajj.

I might not see after this year.

So

to try and get our maybe the only

Hajj that we're ever going to do just

like the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam done it.

Whatever he done, we tried to do. Whatever

he didn't do, we tried to to stay

away from. And this is the day, brothers

and sisters, when the religion was completed.

A Jewish man, he came to Amr Al

Khattab, he said to him,

You have a verse in the Quran that

you read.

If this Ayat came down upon us, the

Jewish man is saying, if this Ayat came

down upon us, we would take that day

as 8th.

Which Ayat is this? He asked him, What

Ayat? That Ayat called

The day when I completed your religion for

you.

It

was the day he was standing on Arafa,

and it was the day of Jum'ah. Our

religion got completed.

The prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, told us

of every hair,

and he warned us of every sharp.

There's nothing that gets you closer to Allah

except

that I commanded you with it.

And there's nothing that gets you far away

from Allah except I told you.

There's so many things, brothers and sisters,

that I could tell you about this issue.

This aya,

a book can be written about it,

which talks about our religion being

our religion being stopped. Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi wa

sallam

teaching us how to go about with our

religion. Sometime you can ask yourself, okay, this

action. Did the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam

forget to do it?

Did the prophet salallahu alaihi wa sallam and

his companions? Why didn't they do it?

We go to a place called

Musarifa.

It is also known as

Yomu Jammu

or the place where it's called

to not pray, and he might get late.

While you're in Arafat, the buses might get

long, and you might enter into Risha.

And the time of Maghrib goes, the prophet

sallallahu alaihi was telling me, he said, to

a mumek. The salat is in front of

you. Don't pray now. Pray later.

So when you go to Muzdalipa,

you pray the and the Isha, and this

is what the prophet done. He prayed

here. 2 raka'at for 3 raka'at for Maghrib

and 2 for Isha. And they prayed at

a time of Asia.

He didn't pray any sunnah between the Maghrib

and the Asia.

So that's also from the sunnah of the

prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. And he passed in

his sleeves, he remembers Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

And then the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,

what he done was, at the end

of the Fajr, he would make a very

long

dua. In between the 2,

Naman, the prophet made a very long dua.

He put his hands up to Allah subhanahu

wa ta'ala, and he made a very long

du'a.

You know, brothers and sisters, putting your hands

up is a means of getting your du'a

accepted.

Don't think or don't care what the people

are going to say or the people are

going to be looking at you. A person,

he might feel a bit of shame putting

his hands up. The prophet used to put

his hands up until you could see the

whiteness under his armpits, and his used to

drop from him. The prophet said,

said, Allah is shy. He is generous from

the servant. When he puts his hands up

to Allah that

he sends him back with 0.

So you putting your hands up is a

means. It's a Sabbath.

That Allah

will accept your dua. So you're in Arafa.

You're in Musalifa.

And on top of that, what do you

do? You make dua with Allah

through his names and

attributes. Nam, with his names and attributes. And

on top of that, you put your hands

up. You have maybe 3, 4 reasons as

to why your dua might get accepted. So

take all these means and anything you ask

for Allah

it will be

accepted.

This is just some of the stuff that

I wanted to,

mention

but there's a lot of things that we

can mention. The most important thing is brothers

and sisters, control your anger.

It will give to you.

It will give to you. I've seen over

the years,

Hajj really really examines a person.

And sometimes you find that Allah Subhanahu Wa

Ta'ala targets the person with under problems.

So maybe try and train him through these

days of Al Hajj.

So please brothers and sisters, don't waste it.

Don't let it be the reason why you

get less reward

in your hedge because of maybe a petty

argument whether you can go on the bus,

don't go on the bus. Get on the

bus, don't get on the bus. Do this

over very petty things like that, and we

ask Allah

to benefit us from what we had, and

to make these days of remembrance that we

don't waste it.

Subhanahatullah

will be handik. And

then after

Maghrib,

We'll give a reminder on, in Somali, and

then maybe after I shall give another small

reminder,

and we just leave it on from there.

For listening very attentively,

and, may Allah bless you
