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
