All is such an Amal that it is unique in the sense that every
Nabi of Allah, every Nabi of Allah, went for Hajj. So it is
important let us revisit this, even if we are not going now, even
if you have made our far as Hajj, let us revisit, take the Asmaa,
take the lessons, because primarily, there are certain
unique aspects when it comes to Hajj that we will not find in the
other pillars of Islam. For example, in the whole Quran, you
won't find Surah to Salah. There is no Surah to som. There is no
Surah to zakat. Allah has not devoted one surah. This name is
not there. There is no Surah by the name of the other pillars of
Islam. But in the Quran we find Surah UL Hajj.
Allah has given an entire surah. This name Suratul Hajj,
when Allah dala made Salah Fars, look at the wording of Quran in
the salata, Kanata, alaminna kitab. Salah is first. Akimu Salah
established salah. Salah is farth zakat. A farth Minam, walim,
sadakatan, Hiro Huma do Zakim be our salah. Ali, him when it comes
to fasting, kutimale, kumusyam, kamakuthiwalamin, kablikum,
fasting is prescribed upon you as it was prescribed upon the nations
before you. Fasting is furs.
When it comes to making Hajj, furs, look at the mode.
Look at the expression of Quran,
even if you don't understand Arabic. Listen to this again.
Akimus, Salah in the Salat. Akana, mini Nakita. Abuta, Salah is far
to zakat, Minam, walim, Sadak, ata, Sada, kata, Hiro, Huma do
Zaki, him Biha, Zakat is first. Kutiva Kumu, Siyam, kama, kuti
Vale, Lali, namin, kablikum, fasting is farthest
when it comes to Hajj. Walila. Walila Alan nas hedjul Beit
manishtatalaha alameen,
look at even if you don't understand Arabic,
salah, zakat, fasting. Allah does not bring his name when it comes
to Hajj, Wali, la Allah brings his name. What is this? Walillah
mufareen, the commentators of the Quran have written volumes on
this. We can't even it's not even possible for us to even attempt to
explain the Mitas, the ecstasy, the Maza in this expression,
walila Islam. Walila only for Allah. Allah's Bulava has come.
Allah's call has come. Allah's invitation has come. When you get
one invitation, what happens? First thing you worried about,
especially if it's something prominent,
call to Parliament House or call to certain Club today that has
become important to us, these associations. My dressing has to
be right. My mindset has to be right. I have to prepare myself
properly, my coming, my demeanor, my manner in that gathering, has
to be such that my appearance or my association with that is
accepted.
Wali, Allah, Allah's Bulava has come. Are you ready to go? Have
you prepared yourself such? Do you even realize where you are going
whose Darbar, whose court is it?
Are your earnings halal?
Have you clothed yourself with the akhlaq of Rasulullah, sallAllahu,
alayhi wa sallam?
You are going to that place and that land upon which every Nabi of
Allah walked, the rewild of Allah, munziri, Rahima, Allah, He says,
Adam Ali Salam made 1000 petal Hajj walking Hajj
Allah's rasoo Salaam on his Hajj journey. When he passed jakva, he
says, I can visualize Musa alaihi salam in Jaffa, shouting out the
LA Bay, you are going to that place, that place every Nabi of
Allah walked upon that land, the shark of Allah, the Beloved of
Allah, those who gave their lives for Allah, they shed their hot,
hot tears on that land. This is.
Section of the earth which rose up first before the rest of this
entire earth. This is beitullah. This is Kaaba tolla. This is that
place that contains Allahu Akbar, the very life essence of Rasul Pak
SallAllahu, alaihi wasallam, example, I'm digressing hajarul
Aswad Nabi Paxil ASAM said, nazaral, Hajar UL Aswad, Minal,
Jannah, wahi Ashad dubaya, the Mina, Laban wala kin so WADA tu
khataya, Bani Adam, he said, hajerul Aswad is not from this
dunya, it is from Jannat.
So that stone is not of this earth. It is from Jannat.
When it came down, it was whiter than milk, he said. Nabi APA sama
said, the sins of Bani Adam, the sins of humanity blackened and
caused Hajj to become black. Otherwise it was whiter than milk,
and it is from Jannah.
Allah gives you that opportunity today. They gotta. They cordoned
it off like I said. I'm not going into political association,
but Allah gives you that opportunity to place your lips on
the Hajj word, where are you placing your lips? Where are you
placing your lips? You are placing your lips on the one spot of this
earth
that you can take Qasim upon Allah, that the Mubarak lips of
Muhammad Sallallahu Islam touched. That's what, what price tag can
you put on this
Hajj al Asmaa Nabi APA Sala. Islam said, Yameen Allah. He fill all he
said, it is the right hand of Allah on this earth.
You saw fihu, Biha, Akhada Kum you saw FIBA, the HU Kama. You saw
fiwa, Allahu, Akbar, literal
translation, like I said, Allah is above such. These are not physical
meanings. This is spiritual meanings, literally translated
Allah Rasool, as said, the Hajj rule ASWAT is the right hand of
Allah on this earth. Like you shake the hand of your friend.
Allah, shakes your hand through the Hajj rule Asmaa. Allah, shakes
the hand of his slave. What is the analogy when you walk in the
Darbar of a king, a ruler? What you do? You bow on your knees, you
bow down before Him, and you plead allegiance. Ulama iqram Give an
ajib interpretation of this hadith. They say in alame arwah,
the land of the souls, when all the souls were gathered. Vaida,
Akhada, Rab, buchamim, Bani, ADAMA, minuriya, takumala,
ashadimala,
the verse of the Quran where Allah says all the souls of humanity
were gathered in alame arwah, and the question was put Allah to be
Rabbim, Allah, become, Am I not your Rab? Am I not your Rab?
Everyone said, Rana la rabbunala, what is Rabbul? Allah in the
ledee, nakalu, rabunallah, summa, takamu, fala, ho fun alehim, wala
hum, yaq zanoon. Allah says those who say, Rabbah, my rabbi is
Allah. And then they live their lives according to the dictate of
their declaration. Allah is Rab Allah is Malik. Allah is Khalid.
My Allah owns me. My life belongs to Allah. Every movement of my
lamb and the Command of Allah from Masta kamu This is ista karma.
What will happen? Falafel, alayhim, walahum, Yan, they will
never fear. They will never have grief. Dunya is made. Akhirat is
made. They are janatis. This is rabbuna Allah. Allah asked that
question to the souls. Allah, Subhi, Rabbi, Kum, Am I not your
Rab? Everyone said, Ra Bala, Allah, you are our Rab. Allah said
that Ahad, which you and I took in the land of the souls, was written
down, and that paper on which it was written down was put inside
the Hajj Aswad,
so that when you make istilam of hajari Aswad, when you make
istilam of hajari Aswad, you are reaffirming that covenant and that
oath you took before you even came to this dunya, that Ya Allah, you
are my Rab. Ya Allah, you are my Rab. This is a renewal of that.
This is what it means that Allah shakes your hand through the
hajari Aswad Asmaa said Khan sab Rahmatullahi is to say that the
hajari Aswad has that Rohani takat and power to seal your heart on
the jasba with which you will make istila.
You're not in a not going to an ordinary place. You're not going
to an ordinary place. Hajare Aswad seals your heart on the jasba with
which you will make isti.
Am
so he said, be very, very careful if even in that place you have the
jasba of dunya, Allah, protect you. Allah, protect me. Even in
that place you go with the jasba of dunya, when you make istilam,
the hajale Aswad will seal your heart on the jasba of dunya.
In other words, walila, walila, digressing, Hadi sabrasulullah,
what is tawaf? What is tawaf? Tawaf is an imitation wata al Mala
ikata Ha fina, Min Hau Li larushi, USA, bihuna, bihamdi, rambihim,
Allahu Akbar. This is Quran. What raw? What the raw? Allah doesn't
say Malaika making Tawaf around my Arsh. No, Allah says you will see
the Malaika. What a real Mala ikata. Hafina Min, how little ash
my Malaika, perpetually, are making Tawaf around my ash.
When you will make tawaf on the earth, you are imitating those
Malaika.
You are imitating those Malaika. And when, when you walking on that
ground in that tawaf, you are putting your Kadam, your foot on
the same spot, same spot that my NaVi walked. SallAllahu, Alam Ali
mu Salam walked. Sahaba walked,
tabbyin walked, or Shaq of Allah walked, the only a walk by PADI
Assa, rahmatullahful is covered with Noor. He would say, at least
come as come when you are walking, they have this in your heart that
Ya Allah, today I am you have given this Napa Bandha. You have
given this Napa bandha the opportunity to put his foot on
that same spot that your true servants walked on. Ya Allah, give
me the Tawfiq to bring my life according to their life. At least
have that. At least have that. What is Allah giving you the
revaid of munzini, Rahim of Allah. When a man makes istilam of
hajari, Aswad starts his tawaf Allah's rahmat starts raining down
upon him, raining down upon him, on every step that he takes. Every
step, 70,000 good deeds are written down. 70,000 sins are
wiped away, 70,000 ranks are raised. He is given the
opportunity to make sifanis, an intercession of seven of his
family members. And when he completes that, tawaf and makes
two rakats of Salah, Allah gives him the reward as if he freed a
slave from the progeny of Ismail, Ali Salam and Arab slave,
such a place, someone came to faze bin Ayaz Rahima Allah. And
he said, Indi uridul Hajj,
ini URI UL Hajj.
He said, I desire to perform hajj for osini. Give me some advice.
Allahu, Akbar. What does he say to him? He says, shammiri, Zara
kafit, talab. Shamir is Ara kafir, talab, Tayo lungi. Tayo lungi.
It's not Sahu,
it's not an organization. It's not your bank balance by Allah's
Qassam that has given you this bulawa
al Hajjaj Wal Omar Waf dullah, al Hajjaj wall. Omar Waf dullah, my
Nabi Isla al Islam said, Those who will go for Hajj and those who
will go for Umrah. No organization has accredited them, no bank
balance has given them that airfare, no system of this world
has allowed them. What's the law? They are the delegation of Allah.
They are the guests of Allah. That's why those who have been
Allah take us again and again. Those who haven't been Allah
opened the way
you will see, you will see they have Bo panners bow posters.
Merhaba. Marhaba. Marhaba. Welcome to who bid you fear Rahman, to the
guests of Allah, to the guests of Rahman, who has extended this
invitation. Al huja, wala, Omar, WAF du la they are Allah's
delegation. They are Allah's people. And what happens your Tigi
ma Salu, whatever they will ask, Allah will give it to them. You
are Tigi ma Salu, waya, stajee, Bula, Kuma, Dao, whatever dua they
will make Allah will accept it for them. One person was making Tawaf
in the time of Rasulullah, sallAllahu, sallam, Allahumma fil
an Ibn fulan, Allahumma filha nibni, fulan, oh Allah. What is
this? Lot of times I've explained this before. When you make dua Oh
Allah, forgives so and so. What does it actually mean? Mat Firat
is Jannat Maq.
Virat is Jannat. Ya Allah. Make this man a janati. That is what
this dua means. Allahumma, finli, fulan ibn fulan Allah, make him a
janati. My Nabi says, What did you do now? He said, Ya rasulallah, my
brother, who heard that I was coming here, told me that between
the rukhnamani and the makame Ibrahim, I must make dua for his
mafirat, my Nabi. My Nabi, sahibal, wahi wa ni Hawa in WA,
ila wakhi yuha Allah says he does not speak of his own desires.
Whatever he is telling you is directly from Allah. It is wahi
revelation from Allah. My Nabi says you are in such a place that
dua has been accepted. That man is a Jannati. That man is a janati,
just the dua of this person that was not even there. Allahu, such a
place. Yesterday, whatever dua you make, Allah will answer it, accept
it, and further further,
Allahu, Akbar.
Today, VIP sends you an invitation
wedding or whatever function is in some other town, some other
province, the air ticket comes. Hotels are booked, not going into
the unnecessary expenditure, but it's expected. Sometimes, when you
call a person, you the V, you get a V VIP guest. In other words,
there you hoga, my if you are not here, not going to happen. You
have to be here. You are my special one. So what is
understood? Understood, all expenses paid, you have to be
here. This Bulava is coming from who, not from sahuk, not from any
organization, not from your bank balance by Allah's Qassam. This
balawa is coming from Allah. This bulaway, this is wali Allah. This
bulawa is coming from Allah. So what happens the Shaan of Allah,
anahu, Allahu, ajwadul. Ajwad There is no one more generous than
Allah. Allah says yokli for alayhim. An FAQ main Avi says,
every cent that you will spend for that hajj and umrah journey, Allah
is going to give it back to you. Allah will give it back to you.
Allah will give it back to you and not give it back to you according
to your Shan. Give it back to you according to his Shan. Dirham be
al Dirham for every Dirham you will spend. May Allah will give
you 1 million back. May Allah will give you one my respected brother.
This is I am nothing, but honestly, every time Allah gives
the opportunity, every time, I always have this in my heart, this
particular Hadith, even now, Allah took me in Ramadan for one or two
days. I look at that majma And Allah's Qassam every time we see
this, every time we see
this, you will see people. You will see people that it will enter
your heart. How is this? The poverty of the man is emblazoned
sometimes, physically, you wonder how this man got out of his bed.
He can't even walk straight, elderly, elderly, old women
dressed their clothing tattered and torn.
Expenses upon expenses, condition upon condition. Governments are
putting obstacles. Are coming one after the other, yet you will see
not one. You will see 1000s like that that you will ask yourself,
forget kabatola. How did this man even leave his village in some
town where he came from? How is it even possible that he is here,
which accreditation, which bank balance, which money brought this
man here?
It's not you and I.
This is wali Allah. Allah will sure still care with this. Wali
Allah, take your zen out of asbab. And means it is Allah, it is
Allah, it is Allah, it is his house. They can put 1000
obstacles, if the sincerity is there, get on that musalla and
cry, because this journey, in reality, Walid LA is not a
physical journey. It's not a physical journey.
Allama say selb,
sehul, khulub, ABD, love means sehril abdan. This journey is a
journey of the heart five times every day, just now you will stand
up for Salah. Where are you facing?
Where is this heart supposed to go? What is the direction they
say? Seru kulub, the journey of the heart is more AB love.
AB love is more important, more conducive than the physical
journey. Kamin wasilin. Kamin wasilin bibadani
and and Rob bill be how many people physically Allah has taken
them again and again? How many people physically bodily they have
reached Kabat Allah, but even for one second, their heart is not.
Connected with the rub of Kaaba to Allah
wa kamin ka idim fibeti, He Allah, firashi, he wakal, buhu,
mutasalum, bil mahalilah. How many people they are true bandas of
Allah, Allah made it such. Sometimes Allah wants to see the
talab so Allah doesn't open the way immediately. How many they are
sitting 1000s of miles away in their houses, on their beds, with
the shook of Allah, with the love of Allah, with the Ishq of Allah.
Physically,
their hearts are already at Kaaba to Allah. Bodily, they are 1000s
of kilometers away makhail Allah, wherever their heart, their hearts
are connected with Allah. Fortunately, I've run out of time.
I'll terminate on one incident like this, Malik bin dinar,
Rahima, Allah. He
says, I was once on Hajj journey.
I saw a young man.
We reached the meerkat.
That reaching the Meerkat, reaching the Meerkat, that is the
time you are going to what now make the nearth
Tie the haram. That is not just, it's not two cloths at your time,
you are taking off your sewn clothing, putting on the two
cloths. Palama say you are taking off. You are taking off the
clothing of your life, and you are putting on your coffin.
Certain things become prohibited to you at that time, what we call
the laws of akhram, they say at that time, make this intention.
Make this intention that you are severing your ties with everything
that Allah has made haram, and you are going to the house of that
being, that being, whatever pleases Him. Now for the rest of
your life, is going to become your mode. They say that Huss that you
take before you put on that ehram is, in fact, the ghal that is
given to the mayhit The turakat salah. Tulam is your own Janaza
salah. This is when Hajj becomes Hajj. This is when Hajj becomes
Hajj. That is why for the Ayaz, he said, shammiri, zarakafit talab.
Shamir is alaka. This person said, in New rebu, Haj, I'm going for
Hajj. Give me advice. He said, Sham Miri, Zara kafit talab, tire
yourself in the preparation, in the search for where you are
going. And one Durr, one dur Allahu, Akbar. There's no language
that can translate this advice. The effect of it was, was when he
gave this advice. Rahim Allah, he fell down unconscious. The one
giving the advice fell down unconscious. He said, one door,
ILA, ay na tadha, wa ILA.
He said, consider where you are going and to who you are going,
consider where you are going and to who you are going, who is
Darbar, whose house, Which place is this? What is the history
behind it? What is the Nizam of Allah that we cannot see that is
happening with Kaaba to Allah, consider where you are going, and
then walillah. Quran says, walillah. What does this Walid la
mean, one meaning mufassirin give
you are going.
Is your coming acceptable?
Is it pleasing?
Is Allah happy by your coming? There?
Malik bin dinar says people were calling out. People were calling
out. La Baik, Allahu, Mala Beig, la Bay Allahu. Alabeg, this
youngster was reticent. He's keeping quiet. He's not reading
the labek. Malik vidina said to I said to him, Brother, why? Why are
you not reading the lab bayk, he says, Malik,
I noble. He
says,
My life of sins,
your mother and father, you upset them, they'll shut the door on
your face, being your mother and father.
Whole life of sins and still he gives the invitation,
whole life of dushmani. Still he gives the invitation.
He says, Malik,
the blackness of my soul,
the jasba of dunya that is in my heart.
The countless times that I have disobeyed Him
causing me to pause. I'll say, La bake. And what happens if, from
that side it comes Lala big.
We don't want you here. Your coming is not appropriate.
Malik bindinar says, I next saw this youngster on the 10th of
zulheja people.
Were giving kurbani. He was sitting on one side crying. I came
up to him,
this youngster, Mari Medina, one part I forgot. Before he
approached him, he could hear this youngster. What was he saying?
Yamanta, Suru Hu tat, wala tauru, HUL maasi, habli, Maya, suruk,
wolfI Mala your duruq. He said, Oh, that zaat and that being, when
I obey him, he becomes happy when I break his commands I cannot harm
him. Grant me that which makes him makes you happy, your obedience,
and forgive me that which can never harm you, my disobedience.
Then he said, I fear Lala baik will come if I shout out, la baik
now it is the 10th of Zul. Hijjah, one corner of Mina. Other people
are making qurbani, this young stay sitting and crying. No
kurbani In front of him.
Balik with Nina says I approached him. As I came close, I could hear
this youngster saying, Allahumma,
Inanna, sakadabahu, watakar, Rabu ilaik O Allah, the people have
given kurbani through that qurbani, they have got your kurub
and your closeness Wales. Ali shayun, atakat Rabu hubiha ilaik,
I have nothing Ya Allah, I have nothing with which I can gain your
closeness. Siva navsi, besides my own life, I don't even have a
kurbani animal. Ya Allah, make my jaan, make my life the sacrificial
animal. Fata, balha, minyan, accept it from me. Malik bin Nina
says this youngster said this and passed away on the spot.
Elay kasdee, ilai kasdi, Kakashi, rabbal, beiti, wall hijari,

are my goal. You are my maksad For me, for you to become mine, for me
to become yours. While had you nafsi And the qurbani animal also
ya Allah is my own nafs. And to sacrifice this nafs, I don't need
a knife. I don't need a knife my respected brothers, ulama say,
sehru khulu, AB Alamin, sehril, abdan, the journey of the heart is
more important than the physical journey. Every one of us has one
Kaabah to Allah. We have one Kaaba tolla Situated between our two
ribs. Make this Kaaba to LA, this skal this Dil Noorani. Make this
Kaaba to La shine. Make this Kaaba to LA, such that that Kaaba Allah,
we become worthy of going there and they say the noor of this will
light up the entire world. You
