Akram, elders and beloved brothers In Islam,

as the days of Hajj

draw closer.

It is not possible

for one whose heart

is filled with the love of Allah and His Rasul sallallahu alayhi wa

seldom

to fail to ponder

over the great significance

of what the Hajj of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

entails.

In fact,

if one looks

into the Sira, into the life of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa

sallam,

especially the period in Makkah mukarrama, prior to the Giza rats,

from the very onset of the Hajj journey, as the upod and the

delegations from the various parts of the World would descend on

Makkah, Makkah mukarrama,

tirelessly, Rasulullah, sallAllahu, alaihi salam, in

the plains of Meena,

would be going from tent to tent,

addressing the people, may you veni me and suruni hathawari

salatar, Rabbi,

that who is there that will Shelter me,

who is there that will assist me so that I may convey the Ri Salat,

the message of ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala unto humanity,

this command of Allah subhana wa Taala

to make the believe of Allah's Deen,

Allah Dalai says in the Quran, yayah Rasul Bell live, ma unzila,

ilaika, Ilam tapala, Kama balabhai, salata, Allahu ya asimu,

kaminana nas

that omaya Rasul

and Allama explained when the Rasul is addressed ummat also is

intended

that Oh my Rasul and his ummats Bal live, make tabliel of this,

DEEN wail, lamta, Pallav tarisalata.

And if you fail to do so, then you have failed to fulfill your

mission.

And naturally, when tabli will be made,

when one will engage in calling towards Allah, subhanho wa Taala

and prohibiting from the disobedience of Allah,

then difficulties, aggression, persecution, must occur,

as took place in the time of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam,

where one youngster says, I stood on the mountain of Abu KUBS,

and I looked down at the tents on the plains of Meena,

and I saw this person going from tent to tent.

Say, yaw NAS Kulu, La ilaha illAllah. Kuya. O People say, La

ilaha illallah, and you will be successful. What was the reaction

when tablig of Deen was made, he says swamin humman, tapalafi,

waji, wamin humman Khata, Ali hituram, wamin homb He says some

of the people spat in his face. Some of the people picked up sand

and flung it at him. This insulted him. This.

Swore at him. They cursed him. They cursed his parents. They

cursed his lineage. They beat him. Yet, he said, this individual

continued relentlessly, hattanta, Safa Nahar until half the day had

passed and the sun had reached its zenith, and he sat down in

exhaustion, and he says, I saw a young girl running towards him. In

her hand was a cloth. She started wiping the dust on his face, and

she was crying.

So he looked at her, and he said, la takshay, Allah, Abhik Raila, do

not fear. Allah. Will not disgrace your father. So he says, I asked

my father that, who is this person? And my father replied that

that is Muhammad bin Abdullah. That is Muhammad rasulallahu alayu

salam.

So before the Hijrah from the initial stages of Islam,

the days of Hajj were spent by Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa

sallam in Mina in this manner,

such aggression, such persecution,

the whole Arab world had turned against him, yet fearlessly, he

continued conveying the message of Allah. Why? Because Allah had

given the guarantee Walla Hu Ya se mukamin and NAS

that O Mahi Nabi make tablig of this Deen, and in your making

tablier, the world will turn against you. Difficulties and

hardships will come in front of you, but as long as you and your

ummat are making tablig of this. Deen Oh Allahu, ya asmin, Annas

Allah will protect you from humanity.

Qalama explained that Bismuth

The protection of this ummat from humanity, from persecution, from

hardship, from torture, from difficulty, from the enemies

gaining the upper hand over this ummat,

Allah Tala is taken upon Himself that He will protect this ummat as

long as this ummat is making Tablighi of Deen,

when this ummat will turn its back on the responsibility of Tabligh

of the message of Allah.

Then Allah explained the converse meaning of this verse of the Quran

is that the mantle of protection ismat, and protection from Allah

will be lifted away from this ummat.

And then the summat, according to that hadith, where as soon as

lalsalan prophesies, will become the morsels that the enemies of

the summat will chew up.

The point my respected brothers, is that every

year, as the days of Hajj draw closer,

the one whose heart is filled with the love of Rasulullah sallallahu,

alayhi wa sallam. It is impossible

that we fail to be reminded of the sabak and lesson as to what the

Mina and arapata Rasulullah sallallahu sallam was.

This Hajj is not a journey of only those who have proceeded to be

Allah,

like beautifully, the poet says, eleka kasdi, rabbal, vedi wall

Hijri, pankasuali fi *, wamari, Wafi kasay watat, Wafi VAMS

daliti.

The poet says

that the object of my journey is not the way to Allah. The

object of my journey is not SAE of Safa and Marwa. The object of my

journey is not musdalipha and Meena and arapada. The object of

my journey is not Madina munavara. The real object is you my Allah,

that my heart must be linked with you,

like Alama say SEL kublam in SEL, Abd abdan, then, more effective

and more important than the journey of the body is the journey

of the heart.

Come in Bali, in dibanihi in albeit, wakal buhu Mun qati on an

rabbil beit. How many there are that physically, bodily they have

reached the Beit Allah. The gaze is on Kaaba Allah. The gaze is on

the house of Allah, but their hearts are cut off from Allah.

Wakam in Kaid in tibeti, he Ara firashi wa Kal Bula, and how many

there are that are sitting at home who have not been able to

undertake the journey of Hajj?

They financially, they didn't have the means, whatever other

restrictions they were. They were unable to undertake the journey of

Hajj, but for one second their heart is not Raphael of Allah.

They have achieved more than that person who has proceeded to debate

Allah and has not understood the lesson of had their hearts are not

filled with the love of Allah, subhanho wa taala.

So this journey of Hajj coming back to the point that we are

making my respect.

Good Brothers,

this entire exercise of the Hajj does not only affect the Hadith,

but it is a reminder. It is an opportunity that is given to the

entire ummat of Rasulullah sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam every

year

to rebuild a Taal look in the link with Allah to make tawba Over the

past. That is why,

from the first of Hijjah, Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa

sallam addressed his Sahaba. And this virtue is not specific to the

Hadith. This virtue is for the entire Ummah, the Rasulullah,

sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, wherein he said mamin ayamin,

aavamo in the la ayuda Abdalla, mufiha min ashid al Hijjah. He

said, There are no days in the entire year in which Allah loves

your ibadah, in which Allah loves your exertion more than he loves

it. On the first 10 days of zill Hijjah,

to what extent has Allah opened the doors of his mercy, he said,

Ya lo Siya Mukul, Leo mim minhabi, siyami, Sana, waqi, ya Mukul

minha. Minhagil, Qadr, he said every day that you will fast in

the first 10 days of ZiL Hijjah, obviously excluding the 10th that

is the day of Eid, because on the day of Eid to fast is haram, not

permissible.

He said every day that you will fast on the first 10 days, that is

the first nine days of ZiL Hijjah, Allah will give you the reward as

if you fasted one year for each day and every night of these 10

nights that you will spend in ibadah, Wakiya, mukulla, minha,

vikiyami, laylatil Qadr, Allah will give you the reward as if you

stood in Ibadah On the night of Laylat lupad, on the night of

father

so merciful Allah, Tara is Anna has been malikadi Allahu taala,

and who, with reference to the first 10 days of the hija, you

would say the kulio me minha al quyom, every day of ibadah, Allah

will give you the reward as if you Made Ibadah for 1000 days, WA yo

mu Arafat Ashara to Allah AUM, and if you make ibadans On the day of

Arafat, Allah will give you the reward as if you spend 10,000 days

in Ibadan

mumini Aisha, radiAllahu anha,

she relates to Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam that there is

one youngster in Madina Munawwara. It is well known amongst the

people

that during the first 10 days of zelhija he would fast. So Nabi

salal Islam sent for this youngster, and he asked him

that mahamala, Kaala, Maa Sanaa, that why do you fast on these days

this youngster, Rasulullah, sallAllahu, sallam. And he said,

We Are we under Omni ya rasulallah in Naha, I am ul mashaall in Naha.

I am UL Hajj asallah And ya srivikani fi him. He said, Oh,

Nabhi of Allah. These are the days of Hajj.

These are the days of Hajj.

May my parents be sacrificed upon you. I fast in these days in the

hope that Allah Tala will include me in the dua of the hujaaj.

Allah Ali Salam looks at this youngster, and he says that OMA

umati, for every day that you will fast, in the first 10 days of ZiL

Hijjah, Allah will give you the reward, as if you freed 100

slaves, as if you slaughtered 100 camels, as if you gave 100 horses

in jihad in the path of Allah. And when the eighth of zill hilja will

come, Allah Tala will give you the reward. That is the day when the

people will proceed from Makkah to Meena. On that day, if you will

fast, Allah will give you the reward, as if you freed 1000

slaves, as if you slaughtered 1000 camels, as if you gave 1000 horses

in jihad in the path of Allah Tala. And then the Vishal Islam

says to him, and if you will, fast on the day of Arafat, Allah will

give you the reward as if you fasted for two years, one year

preceding, and the year that comes in front. In one Hadith, it comes

Allah will forgive your sins of two years if you will fast on the

day of Arafat.

So great is the reward in what Hadi salaam addresses his Sahaba

and he says mom in a Yamin Hadi Ilam Yani, Ayam al Ashar om AI

Sahabah, there are no days in the entire year when Allah loves.

To be worshiped more than he loves to be worshiped on the first 10

days of zilchidja, the Amal of these days are the greatest of our

mall.

Look at the question which Sahaba posed to the salah SallAllahu,

alayhi wa sallam, when he gives them this virtue.

From this we can understand the Mizrahi of Sahaba, the temperament

of Sahaba, the mindset of Sahaba, they said on Abhi of Allah, we can

understand, we can understand that Ibadan on these days are superior

to any other Amal. But what we cannot understand on Abhi of Allah

is, are you saying to us, wala Jihad Allah, that the Amal of the

first 10 days of ZiL hija are more virtuous than striving in the path

of Allah. Also,

why this question? Why didn't they say more virtuous than tahajjud,

or more virtuous than Tirath of Quran?

Because some of us, Misha and temperament have been brought on

this

that this is an ummat of dawat. This is an ummah that has to

strive in the part of Allah. This is an ummati of Nabi. Isallah

Islam is not one concern about his own Ibadan.

He is not one when the commands of Allah being broken around him,

when the fire of Jahannam is burning around him, that a frown

line would not come on his forehead. They had the example of

Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam in front of them. On one occasion,

Sahaba sitting by the member of Rasulullah sallallah sallam. It is

the day of Juma. They are waiting for NaVi salaam to come, for Salat

of Jumah.

A discussion starts. One Sahabi says, mahubali, Allah, amalaj. He

says, Allah, bless me with Islam. As far as I am concerned, there is

no Amal that is more virtuous than giving water to the Hajj. For the

rest of my life. I will make sure that this is the most important

Amal I will carry out another one. Says mahubali and Amala albad al

Islam, Illa and Aamer al Masjid Al haram. He says, What do you mean?

Giving water to the Hajjaj Allah gave me Islam. I will devote my

entire life to making Masjid Al haram, to making beit Allah Abad.

I will make Ibadan masjid for the rest of my life. For as I am

concerned, there is nothing more superior than that. A third Sahabi

hearing this conversation, he says, No, you are making a

mistake. No, you are making a mistake. Oh, my brothers, there is

nothing more virtuous than striving in the path of Allah.

Tala, this discussion, they had raised their voices. Omar Ali,

Allahu taala, who heard this, he became upset with him. Fazal ya

Rahu, ahmaud, illallahu, Taala Hu and he said, la Tarta kum in the

member I rasulallah sallam, don't raise your voices. By the member

of rasulallah. The Masjid is not a place to raise your voices.

Observe the sanctity of the masjid. And then he said, Why are

you arguing? After Juma salah, take your masala to Rasulullah

sallallahu, sallam. We have Nami Sala Islam with us. What is the

need to argue? He will guide us as to what is the most virtuous Amal

Jibril is sent

before they can go to Rasulullah sallallahu, sallam. Jibril is sent

with the verse of the Quran AJ al tum, sipaya, talhaaj. Why? Vai

Marat al Masjid Al haram, Taman, Aman Abila, he will Yamil akini wa

jahadafi, Sabil, Allah, Laing, Allah, Walla, hula, ya Dil om

Abhay mean jive, listen that Allah is saying. What is wrong with your

ummats? Are you regarding feeding, giving water, to the Hajj, to

drink, and the ibadah, the masjid, haram? Are you regarding these

Amal as greater than the Amal of that person who brought Iman on

Allah and strove in the way of Allah. La yasta Woo na in the law,

in the sight of Allah, it is not equal. It will never be equal. La,

yes ta una in the law, giving water to the hujaaj and the

ibadata must give a haram. Allah is saying will never be equal to

that person who will strive in the way of Allah Walla wa daali mean

and the one who will consider it to be equal, he is dalim. He is an

oppressor in the sight of Allah Tala. This is direct translation

of the verse of the Quran, and we can understand it when we

understand the Hajj of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when

he stood on the plains of Mina and Arafat. Every year, my respected

brothers, whether Allah has blessed us with Hajj, Allah has

kept us back, we are not deprived. The goal is Allah to be in Allah.

But every year, it is a requirement that the hearts of

this entire.

Ummat be linked to the Beit Allah during the period of Hajj. First

to be reminded, what was the Hajj journey of Rasulullah, sallAllahu,

alayhi wa sallam, what was the Mizrahi of that journey? What was

the spirit of that journey? What was the adab and etiquettes of

that journey? That is why, for the whole ummat from the first of ZiL

hija, the doors of Allah's mercy are open. Spend your days in

fasting, spend your night in Ibadan, what tahiel rasulallah

said excessively, make the zikr of Allah excessively say La Ilaha,

illallah, subhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, Allah wants you to

turn towards him to be reminded of what the Hajj of Rasulullah

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was when he stood on the plains of

Meena and Arafat and he delivered his Wada, his Farewell Sermon,

farewell message to his entire ummats. And then at the end of

that sermon,

one question. Rasulullah, sallAllahu, Sallam puts referring

to the verse of the Quran. May Allah said, Yay, you are Rasul

balib, maulay, Kami, rabbik, wailam, Tarisa, oh my Nabi, make

up, leave of this. Deen,

oh my Saha, have I conveyed? Have I fulfilled the Haq of Talib? Have

I fulfilled the responsibility which Allah had placed upon my

shoulders, my respected brothers? Such was he is worried for the

Ummat,

no other tenant of Deen, not salah, not zakat, not Hajj, not

fasting. Did he ask this question? Oh, my ummah, did I fulfill the

heart of it

only this tenet, the blame

the mat said an object of lumber with

he is crying for five hours on Arafat for who was that kind?

It was not for that gathering that was there,

Wakulla and wag Allahu, Allah had already revealed to him, oh my

Nabi, all your Sahaba janatis. This is the word of Allah, all

your Sahaba janatis,

Sahabah had already been guaranteed Jannat, who

was he? Crying for help but love. Oh, my Sabbath have I conveyed?

They had in front of them like a kaleidoscope, that 23 years, how

his days were spent, how his nights were spent. They had in

front of them, how not a single storm was left concerned for the

hilaires of his ummah, where,

one month prior to the demise of rasulallah, Ummul, mumin, Ayesha,

radiAllahu anha is very little time and He is going to translate

she gives car buchareen,

how was the life of mine Nabi spent? How was his number would

spend one month prior to his demise? She says, Lamia Jo fun

Nabi Awani

was

salam Shivani, wainkana, a

key,

Lima, walapaki Lim in a Jew Lahu ya Rasul Allah nafzilab Tamina,

she says, 23 years of nabod, there was not one day that my Nabi had

sufficient food to fully stomach.

He never complained to anyone. He preferred hardship, he preferred

purbani. He preferred sacrifice. He preferred hunger over ease.

Why? Because Allah had kept the hirayat of his ummat in this

hardship and difficulty. She says, at times, I would see him for an

entire night tossing restlessly from side to side. He could not

sleep because of excessive hunger. Yet a night spent like that would

not stop him from fasting the next day. She says, If he wanted, if he

wanted, he could have asked Allah to turn the mountains of the world

into gold for him and Allah would have done it. Yet he preferred

this difficulty. He preferred this hardship. He preferred this

sacrifice.

Today, the spombit of that NaVi does not understand why he

sacrificed like that. What was that hardship for? What was that

fear?

Us for, what was the Quran for? Why was he presented in time?

Why did he fall unconscious in Ohad? Why? Why his daughters given

Salam?

Why did months pass upon his home and the store will not be led to

cook food also,

all this, years upon years, years upon years of Quran sacrifice was

with one upset, one object only. Said, Allah must give humanity. He

died.

That was his only cry, that was his only concern. And for death,

he gave everything

for dawat, rasulallah, sallAllahu, himself to such an extent that she

says, on occasion, I would pass my hand over his stomach and press

his stomach to try to alleviate the excessive hunger he was

experiencing. And I would cry, and I would say to him, Oh my beloved

Nabi, lessen your level of sacrifice. Increase your dunya,

you don't have to suffer like this. He would look at me, and he

would say, Ya Aisha, ya Aisha. O Aisha. Mali Walid, dunya, what is

there for me in this dunya, what is there for me in this dunya, O

Aisha, when my brothers from the previous umbdiya sacrifice for the

ummats, how can you ask me to lessen my level of sacrifice for

my ummats?

This cry, this concern, is what is meant by this question. Hal

beloved, have I conveyed what was he asking them that, oh, my

Sahaba, oh, my Sahaba, in this 23 years, I suffered more than

anybody in humanity. But was there any other suffering, any other

hardship, any other hunger, any other relative of mine that should

have been sorted. Was there something more that I could have

done for the hiatus of my Ummah that I failed to do with one

voice, beloved Ummah, WA Keshav, tal hum WA, Jaha, jihadi, they

said, only of Allah you have conveyed. You have fulfilled the

Haqq. It was nothing more than you could have done. And then he

uttered those timeless words

which Allah, forgive us, leave the rest of the Ummat even the 2

million that are standing on the plains of Meena and Arafat, failed

to realize what was the responsibility

which Navier Salam in his Hajj, handed over to his ummats when he

said FA Liu Bali Shahid Kumar say that even this hadith is amajiza,

the choice of words is amajiza is a miracle of Rasulullah,

sallAllahu, sallam. He didn't say FAL Yuval, little alim. He didn't

say that the Alim of my ummat must make Tabla. Because if he said

that, then the one who did not have the knowledge of Deen would

have said, I am exempt from tablier. He did not say that the

wealthy of my umbilical then the poor people would have said that I

cannot make Tabla. He said, Sally Uvalde, oh my ummah, whether you

are rich and poor poor, whether you are Arab or Roman, whether you

are black or white,

whether you have the means or you don't have the means, whether you

are educated or uneducated, every one of you that is present here

today know and understand that on The Vidar, on the farewell of your

Nabi from this world, on the farewell of your Nabi from this

he's handing over the responsibility of the belief to

you. Mentions after me, there will be no NaVi after this ummat, there

will be no ummah. The concern and the worry for the last person to

come before Qi Ahmad is upon my shoulders. I am handing over this

responsibility of Talib to my ummats, that madhima, that

gathering that was in front of him, 124,000

Sahaba ikaram. History bears witness. More than 90% of that

gathering died away from Mecca and Medina. They went to the four

corners of the world. They understood the cry and the pain

that was in the heart of Rasulullah sallallahu, alayhi wa

sallam, my respected brothers every year, this Sabbath, this

reminder, this muzakara, is coming in front of us. Understand our

responsibility. These are the days when the doors of Allah's mercy

are open, turn to Allah, knock the doors over this ummat has suffered

for too long. We need the protection of Allah. We need

Allah. We need Allah.

Help. The way to bring Allah's help is to make our day, the day

of Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, our night, the night of Muhammad

Sallallahu sallam, and our concern and our figure and our cry and our

pain that of Rasulullah sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam. This

is the message of Hajj, whether we proceed for Hajj or whether we

don't proceed for Hajj, let us take the Sabbath of the cry that

was there in the heart of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa

sallam during his Hajj, may Allah.
