			In our
		
00:01:20 --> 00:02:03
			over 1400 years ago, on this very day of our of our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam stood on the
plane of our office on the day of Arafa and after praying the long run answer prayers shortened and
combined, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam spent the rest of the day until the sunset making
dua to Allah azza wa jal and making dhikr of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. Today right now over 1400 years
later, hundreds and 1000s of our brothers and sisters are standing on that very plane on our on the
day of our offer in Arafa. That standing on the day of our offer, it is the most important rite of
passage, as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that had Giraffa Hajj is on offer. And that
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:40
			is because the one who stands on the plane of on off on the devil on offer does so in order to seek
Allah azza wa jal is forgiveness and to repent to Him to ask Allah subhanaw taala for all of their
needs in this life and the next. But one of the most important and crucial elements of standing on
the devil on offer, that is to renew the covenant that we made with our Lord subhanho wa taala. Each
and every single one of us sitting here today, our parents and grandparents before us and our
descendants that will come after us that Allah azza wa jal has decreed for us. Every single person
that Allah created, made a covenant with Allah subhanho wa Taala as collecting the Muslims of Lima

00:03:24 --> 00:04:04
			would come from him to Yeoman piano and he spread them out or before him Subhana wa Taala like
grains of seed, and then he spoke to them directly and he said, allow us to be or have become, Am I

00:04:04 --> 00:04:40
			with what we call the fitrah. As the Prophet said, some Allahu alayhi wa sallam mammon, no looting
EULA, Mammon Malou. Then in law where you will not do al fitrah no one is born except that he is
born upon the fitrah the natural inclination to worship Allah subhanho wa Taala alone, the covenant
that we made with Allah azza wa jal, that this life that we have these finite years that we have,
it's not so that we can gather wealth it's not so that we can have large families it's not so that
we can enjoy the pleasures of the dunya it is only for one purpose. And that is the purpose to
worship Allah subhana wa Tada and the nature of the dunya with this distractions, the nature of the
		
00:04:40 --> 00:05:00
			human with his negligence is that we often forget full of this one very important fact. And so times
like today, the devil out of times, like the month of Ramadan or reminders that are timely for us,
that we need to realign our priorities that we need to understand what is important about this life
and what is less important in this
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:38
			Life. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam highlighted this very principle in the Hadith in Sahih
al Bukhari, the hadith of why the Buddha or the Allah one, one day was writing behind the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and the Prophet said to him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam a while. Do you
know what the right of Allah is upon his slaves, and the right of the slaves upon the Lord Subhana
wa Tada. He said Allah and His Messenger know best. He said Aquila Hiya, Anna Lee bad, Allah usually
Kobe he che the rights of Allah upon his slaves that the worshiping Malone not making shit with him.
Subhana wa Tada. Will Hakuna remember the URL Allah, Allah your common law usually can be Isha. And
		
00:05:38 --> 00:06:15
			the rights that they have that Allah has obligated upon himself is that he won't punish those who
don't associate anyone in in with worship. That is what the people of our office see understand the
pain of out of that. They go there to make dua. They go there to seek Allah's forgiveness. They go
there to make Toba. They go there to realize the many many sins that they've committed over the
course of their life and how they need to try to do better and the first step of doing better is to
turn to Allah subhanaw taala to repent to Allah azza wa jal to acknowledges Tauheed SubhanaHu wata
either. And that is when the Hadith in Sahih Muslim are very short of the Allahu anha The Prophet
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:54
			said some Allahu Allah he will send them speaking about the virtues of this day for the people who
make hajj on the day of alpha and alpha, mammon, Yeoman axon Amina and Allah who feed the abdomen
and Nara Minami Arafa when the hula you know what you bet he became one melodica for your own
Marauder hula. There is not a day upon the face of this earth, in which Allah azza wa jal frees more
people emancipates more people from the fire of * than the day of our offer. And Allah azza wa
jal descends on this day in a manner which befits His Majesty and he boasts to the angels. What do
these people want for me, meaning the people making the Hajj on the day of our offer? Because those
		
00:06:54 --> 00:07:30
			people if they're sincere, if they have a class, if they know the reason why they made Hajj, they've
only come for one reason. And that is to turn to Allah subhanaw taala and to seek his blessings
Allah Allah and that is why this day, the day of our office important for all of us, as a reminder
to renew the covenant. It's the reason why Allah azza wa jal mentions in in multiple places in the
Quran that they have out of Allah takes an oath by it in the Quran. In surah, two borouge Allah
subhanho wa Taala says we're sure he didn't want to shoot, the day that is witnessed and the one
that is the day that is a witness and the one that is witnessed the day that is a witness is the day
		
00:07:30 --> 00:08:07
			of Friday and the day that is witnesses the day of our offer, as is mentioned in the Hadith never
tell me the on the prophets Allah and Allah azza wa jal takes an oath by the state and certain
federal when he says when February Well, Alan Asha was chef you will watch him in the position of a
number of the scholars of tfcu. Allah azza wa jal takes an oath by the dawn and by the tonight's and
by the evening by the odd a number of the scholars that have said including him to Abbas Radi Allahu
anhu, one of the position that the even and the odd refer to these two days today and tomorrow, the
day of our offer and the day of Aadhaar those are the days that Allah has taken an oath bind. Why
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:39
			because this day is important for the Muslim in the life of the Muslim to understand that the reason
why Allah azza wa jal created us was to worship Him along Subhana wa Tada and that is why it's in
the Hadith al Bukhari and Muslim when the Jewish man came to Ramadan pub or the Allah one and he
said to him, oh, leader of the Muslims, there is a verse in your Quran, where it to be revealed to
us the Jewish community, we would have taken the day as the day every the day of celebration, the
day of worship. He said, What is the verse? He said the statement of Allah azza wa jal yo MathML
		
00:08:40 --> 00:09:17
			was meant to earn equanimity. What are the Tula comunista Medina today I have completed your
religion for you, perfect in my favor upon you and chosen for you as your way of life Islam. I'm or
the Allah who replied by Allah I know when and where that verse was revealed. It was revealed during
the farewell Hajj of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam on the day of Arafa. This is the day
that Allah subhanaw taala has honored and chosen and he has honored for the people of autofab
because they go then they worship Allah subhanaw taala and what is the greatest rite of Hajj, but
Allah subhanaw taala also honored it for me and you, for those of us that were blessed enough when
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:55
			honored enough when chosen to go and perform Hajj this year. For us the results of a blessed day,
not least because of the reminder that he should serve, not least because we should stop and pause
especially on this day to think about what Allah subhanaw taala is obligated upon us to think about
what the purposes of our creation, where we're going in life, how short and how finite our life may
be, how today you were living and enjoying the blessings of Allah and today we may be in our graves.
That reminder is a reminder that is pertinent and that is why the prophets on Allah when he was
sending us those few hours of the devil out of an out offer in dua, and in the Dhikr of ALLAH
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:59
			SubhanA wa Tada. But there are a number of actions that we can also perform
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:37
			as people who are not performing Hajj actions that are extremely important and rewarding for us, the
first of them is to fast on this day, the prophet sits on Allahu alayhi wa sallam in the Hadith in
Sahih. Muslim Qatada of the Allahu Anhu when he was asked on the day about the fasting of the day of
Arafa, he said in the letter Cebu and Allah and you can feel a senator at habla, who's Senator Letty
burger. I hope that Allah azza wa jal by fasting this one day, will expect the sins of the following
year and the previous year, two years of sins for fasting a single day. And that is because of the
virtue of this day. The importance and significance of the dare Arafa to fast on this day is
		
00:10:37 --> 00:11:07
			something which is extremely rewarding. But if you weren't able to fast wasn't something that you
were able to do you had an excuse you're unable to fast from the most virtuous acts on this day is
to turn to Allah azza wa jal in making dua and the Dhikr of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada in the hadith of
autonomy the of Abdullah No, I'm not gonna answer the Allahu Allahu Allah. The Prophet said, Son,
Allah while he was sitting them clearly do it, do it. The best way that you can make is to do it
that you make them the devil out of that, well, how are you able to
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:13
			believe in Allah who would actually cut the who wouldn't go when I will have the
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:49
			audio and the best way that you can make is the dua Arafa. And the best team that I and the prophets
before me mean is to say the nun has the right to be worshipped except Allah along with that
partner. To Him belongs Old Dominion or praise, and he has power and ability of all things.
Subhanahu wa Tada. To repeat that steaming to make the Dhikr of Allah azza wa jal is something which
is extremely rewarding on the day of our offer. And the scholars differ is that something only
specific for the people of our offer, or is genuine for every Muslim on the day of our offer. And
the strongest position on Allah knows best is that it is general, every person on the day of alpha
		
00:11:49 --> 00:12:26
			can make dua, and it is a dua that is virtuous, that is more likely to be accepted, especially this
year, because the day of alpha happens to also be a Friday, which in itself, in and of itself is the
day of virtue. And that is why it was the practice of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in
Hajj to make dua until the sunset. And it was a practice of the self who didn't make hydrogen and
perform Hajj in those years, that they would spend this day in making dua and the Dhikr of Allah
azza wa jal to make dua to Allah subhanaw taala on this day, especially between the time of Assad
and Muslim it is something which is extremely virtuous. Abdullah Abdullah Abbas Radi Allahu anhu,
		
00:12:27 --> 00:13:01
			another companion by the name of among the beneficiaries of the Allah one and scholars from amongst
the set of such as you Blumarine Rahim Allah will take the time between us on on Muslim and they
will spend it making dua some of them would come to the masjid and they would find the place in the
masjid than you would spend that time making dua. This is a day that Allah azza wa jal has made
virtuous and rewarding. And yes, it is more virtuous if you're making Hajj. But even if you're not,
it is still a day of reward and virtue and excellence. And so to use these few hours that we have
remaining of this day, it is something which all of us should bear in mind. This these few hours,
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:29
			especially if the time uracil, those few hours that we have are precious, and Allah azza wa jal only
knows whether we will see another day of Arafa use this time wisely, asking Allah subhanaw taala for
of the good of this life and the next, making dua to Allah azza wa jal that he forgives us for our
sins and shows his mercy upon us. BarakAllahu li Walakum feel for animals sunnah, when a foreign yo

00:13:38 --> 00:14:13
			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah who are an early he was talking to a woman
who either was seldom at the Sleeman Kathira Miguel, from the most virtuous acts that we can perform
on this day that ever offer is a specific type of the Quran, Allah azza wa jal, the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us that there are no days in which actions are more beloved to
Allah than the days of the 10 meaning the first 10 days of the hedger, these actions anything that
you do in these days all of it is more virtuous, all of it is more rewarding, but from the most
virtuous acts that you can perform on this day is the act of dhikr of Allah subhanho wa Taala and
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:49
			one of the wordings of the Hadith, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said and some of the
scholars said one of the companions said Vic funeral phenom in me the what the lady would take me
in, so increase in these days in single Hamdulillah, La Ilaha, Illa, Allah, Allahu Akbar, those
three in particular, which together when combined become what we know that we're have read, to say
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La Ilaha, Illallah Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar Allah Allah in hand, at
any time and every time during these days, it is something which is rewarding and something which
shouldn't be done. But especially from today, from the morning of the devil out of it for those
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:59
			people not making an edge from Fudger of the devil out of until hustle of the day of the 13th of the
Hijjah which is the coming Tuesday in sha Allah after the obligatory prayers to say
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:13
			This tech deal, it is something which was the practice of a number of the companions on the road,
the Allahu ang and Abdullah bin almost threw that on the allaahu. And a number of them would do
this, to make that beat in these days generally, is something which is rewarding. It's reported by
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:51
			the Allah one. And Abdullah bin Ahmad the Allahu Anhu Omar, in the days of the 10 would walk around
the marketplaces of Medina, and they would see the tech beat out loud, and people would hear them as
a human body narrating the site, and they would make the tech beer after them until the marketplaces
of Medina were reverberating with tech B. That's the general runtime from the morning of today, the
day of Arafa until sort of the 13th of June, to make it after the obligatory prayers is also
something which is highly recommended, as Allah subhanaw taala on this blessed day of Friday, and on
this blessed day of the day of our offer, that Allah azza wa jal shows His mercy and forgiveness
		
00:15:51 --> 00:16:21
			upon us, that Allah subhanaw taala makes us from amongst those people who are freed from the fire,
that Allah subhanaw taala gives us the best of this life and the best of the next life, and that
Allah subhanaw taala safeguards us and our families from every trial that takes us away from him and
from every hardship that makes us turn away from his worship of Allah subhanaw taala that he gives
us all the ability to perform Hajj as Allah Azza did that he makes us from the people who are able
to perform Hajj and that Allah subhanaw taala gives us the ability to stand on the plane of alpha
and that Allah azza wa jal mixes from amongst those people who return with the hajj that is accepted
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:27
