			All praise and thanks are due to Allah
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			We send salutations and peace upon our beloved
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:18
			Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:23
			Respected Musalis, beloved educators and fellow learners, assalamualaikum
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30
			On behalf of Islamiyah College, Masjid al-Furqan
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			and the extended family, we would like to
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			wish each and everyone a Jumu'ah Mubarak.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala grant us
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			a blessed week ahead, inshallah, ameen.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			The khutbah and the salah will be rendered
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45
			by Kari Ziyad Patel, a renowned Kari and
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			trustee of the Al-Indad Foundation.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			Our guest speaker for today is none other
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:54
			than Achi Ayman, a motivational speaker originally from
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			Iraq who later moved to the UK with
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			his family at a very young age.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01
			Like many people here in Cape Town, brother
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			Achi Ayman grew up facing various challenges and
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			alhamdulillah today he is a world-renowned speaker,
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			inspiring youth right around the world.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:13
			His journey serves as an encouragement for youth
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			all over the world.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			I now hand over to brother Achi Ayman.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			I'm not Achi Ayman.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			Brothers, we and sisters and all of those
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:04
			watching, we're extremely blessed alhamdulillah today to be
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			in the house of Allah, to be with
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			the vibrant youth, to be with our special
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			guests.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			This is a beautiful, beautiful occasion alhamdulillah.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			Let's take a moment, take a deep breath
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			and all together let's say alhamdulillah.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:20
			Wa la in shakartum la azeedannakum.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			We make shukr to Allah, then Allah increases
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			us inshallah.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			So people ask, usually when we're introducing our
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:33
			guests, we say sheikh graduated at this institute,
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			sheikh is the imam of that masjid.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			This time our introduction is just so different.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			And you say but how come we don't
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			have that conventional traditional introduction?
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			Because in this case here, we will draw
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			inspiration from the hadith of Rasulullah s.a
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:53
			.w. Where Sayyidina Rasulullah s.a.w. was
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			on the outskirts of the city.
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			And as he was doing da'wah on
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			the outskirts of the city, Sayyidina Rasulullah s
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:02
			.a.w. came across a man by the
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			name of Rukana.
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			Rukana was the undefeated wrestler of the east
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			and the west.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			Basically like the pound for pound champion.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:11
			Like who?
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:15
			Islam.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			Islam Makashyaf, the pound for pound champion.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			So the undefeated wrestler of the east and
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:27
			the west, and Rasulullah s.a.w. invited
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:27
			him to Islam.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32
			And he, in order to accept Islam, he
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:35
			said, if you're able to wrestle me, and
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:38
			if you beat me, then I will be
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			willing to listen to your message.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:41
			If you wrestle me and you beat me,
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			then I will listen to your message.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:48
			Sayyidina Rasulullah s.a.w., the greatest of
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:52
			Allah's creation, the seal of prophethood, the ameer
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:56
			of the anbiya a.s., imagine despite his
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			position, he goes and he engages in a
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			wrestling match with Rukana.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			And Rukana was a wild character.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			But Sayyidina Rasulullah s.a.w. beat him
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			the first round, takbeer.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:12
			Then Sayyidina Rasulullah s.a.w., oh, I
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			see an uncle from where I'm from in
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:20
			Jowar, Dr. Natti, salamu alaikum, shout out, mashaAllah,
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:25
			so Sayyidina Rasulullah s.a.w. beat him.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			And thereafter they engaged in a second round,
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:31
			and Sayyidina Rasulullah s.a.w. beat him
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			again.
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			And then they engaged in a third round.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			Guess who won the third round, brothers?
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			Sayyidina Rasulullah s.a.w. won the third
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:41
			round.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:46
			According to some narrations, they say after those
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			three rounds of wrestling, Rukana took the shahada
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:53
			and Rukana became a sahabi and Rukana became
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:56
			a Muslim as a result of the wrestling
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			of Rasulullah s.a.w. So today we're
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:02
			not introducing a sheikh graduated, and sheikh is
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			the ustad, and sheikh is the imam.
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:05
			We're not graduating.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			We're not introducing like that.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			Because the lesson we draw is our Habib
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			s.a.w. met the people where they
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			are at.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:19
			Our guest today meets the masses and the
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			youth of the ummah where they are at.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:25
			So Akhir Ayman is not the final destination,
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			he's the beginning of the journey.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			He's the point where he meets the youth
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:32
			wherever you are at, no matter how far
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:32
			you are.
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:35
			Akhir Ayman brings you in and through that
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:38
			connects you to the scholars and that eventually
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			results in the final destination.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43
			So Akhir Ayman is the starting point where
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			we meet people where they are at.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			We speak about the love languages.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50
			These are the da'wah languages of meeting
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:52
			people where they are at.
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:55
			So now it is my great honor to
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			welcome to the stage, or welcome to the
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:01
			mic, our very respected guest, who I'm honored
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			to have with us, who shares his journey
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			to inspire.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			Let's welcome Akhir Ayman.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:07
			Falyatafaddaar.
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16
			Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			I want to start by saying all praise
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			be to Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			Merciful, the Most Powerful.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			It's only Him we worship and only Him
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			we bow down to and only Him we
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:30
			turn to when we're in need.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			I also would like to send peace and
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:35
			blessings upon our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:39
			My dear respected brothers and sisters in Islam,
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless every
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42
			single one of you.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			I want to start off by saying takbir!
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46
			Allahu akbar.
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:48
			Barakallahu feekum.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			I just wanted to say jazakallahu khairan for
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			the masjid, for the committee, for even the
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			deen team for bringing me here.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			Subhanallah I didn't get to see Cape Town
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57
			the way I wanted to see it.
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59
			Cape Town have oppressed me.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			You know I'm only joking, I'm only joking.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:05
			But my dear respected brothers and sisters, I
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			want to start off by saying that the
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:11
			Prophet Muhammad ﷺ stated, الدنيا ملعون ملعون ما
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			فيها that the dunya is cursed and curses
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:15
			everything in it.
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			Now ask yourself this, what is it that
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			you're attaching your hearts to in this dunya
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			that is bringing you pleasure?
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			If it's your parents, if it's your loved
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			ones, if it's your neighbours, if it's your
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:29
			business, if it's your cars, if it's your
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			women, if it's your drugs, what pleasure are
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			these things bringing to you if it isn't
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:37
			'ala?
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:38
			Are these things coming with you?
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			When you die, and every single soul shall
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			taste death.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45
			And imagine this, Allah says that every soul
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:48
			shall taste death, not to say that every
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:51
			soul shall face death, but taste it, depending
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:52
			on the taste.
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			At the time when your soul leaves the
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:56
			body, it depends if it's going to be
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:57
			sweet or bitter.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			Now ask yourself this, when the angel of
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:03
			death, Malik ul Maud, comes for your soul,
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:05
			have you pleased Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			Have you pleased your neighbours?
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:10
			Have you pleased your family members?
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			Are you in a situation where someone has
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			a grudge on top of you?
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			Are you in debt to your neighbour?
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:21
			If it's not physical or financial debt, are
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			you in debt when it comes to the
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			deed or the sins that you committed?
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			Have you pleased Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32
			And the youth today are not the future,
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:33
			it's your kids.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:36
			And what you adapt into your life today,
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			understand this, that your kids are one day
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:39
			going to need it.
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			And how many times you see some of
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			the uncles are coming here today, no disrespect
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			and I love you for the sake of
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:45
			Allah.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:49
			They've come here today, they're complaining, how come
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50
			we're not in the front row?
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			How come we're not sitting in the front?
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:56
			You came late, the youth were hungry, the
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:59
			youth want to see and build a future
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:00
			for the Ummah of the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03
			So they came to the masjid before you,
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:05
			you should be happy for them.
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:09
			If the youth are refusing to come to
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			the masjid, then you should be worried about
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			your community.
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:14
			This is your kids.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:17
			And every single one of us lives a
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20
			reality that's a façade, that is fake.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:23
			Nothing in this dunya we should attach our
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:24
			hearts to.
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:27
			And every single one of us, and I
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:30
			must say this proudly and loudly, do not
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:33
			even attach your heart to your loved ones,
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			for indeed I attach my heart to my
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:36
			mother.
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40
			And little did I know that that love
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:41
			should have been limited.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:47
			For indeed, to Allah we belong, to Him
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:48
			we shall return.
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:53
			My mother returned back to Allah and the
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			love that I had for her was known
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:58
			and shown to me that, Ya Ayman, your
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			mother belongs to me and does not belong
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			to you.
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:05
			Ya Ayman, your love for anyone and anything
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			in this dunya should be limited.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			Now we cherish the memories we have with
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:11
			our loved ones.
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			We cherish the memories that we have of
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:15
			the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:19
			We cherish his sunnah and his vision to
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:20
			unite the Ummah.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			He came for every single person.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:27
			He came for every single nation, for every
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:28
			single culture.
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:29
			Let me make it clear to every single
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:30
			one of you.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:34
			It is not your flags or your culture
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:37
			or the borders that unites the Ummah of
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:38
			the Prophet ﷺ.
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:43
			It is la ilaha illallah, Muhammad Rasulullah ﷺ
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:45
			is what unites us.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:48
			So put your pride and your arrogance aside
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			for once, for once.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			Are you not tired?
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			Are you not tired that when someone comes
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:58
			to ask for donations, but you only give
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			because it's your nation that's somewhere back at
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:05
			home in India or Pakistan or Bangladesh or
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:05
			Iraq?
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:07
			What is this?
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			When you give, you dig deep into your
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			pockets, insha'Allah wa ta'ala.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			Look at the situation of the people of
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:14
			Palestine.
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:17
			Look at their situation.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:21
			They live by the ayah, إِنَّمَا أَشْكُوا بَثِّي
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			وَحُزْنِي إِلَى اللَّهِ They live by the ayah.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:25
			They don't care about the rest of the
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			Ummah because the Ummah have turned their backs
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:27
			on them.
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31
			That they only complain of their grief and
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:32
			their worries to Allah.
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:35
			They lose their mothers.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:36
			They lose their fathers.
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38
			And what do they do?
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			They look up and they say alhamdulillah.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:44
			Allah is my Lord.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			Islam is my deen.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:52
			And the Prophet ﷺ is my Rasul.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:53
			It's my messenger.
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			It's my vision in life.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			When was the last time you cared about
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:00
			the vision of the Prophet ﷺ?
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			A young man came to the Prophet and
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05
			he said to him, Ya Rasulallah, allow me
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:06
			to commit zina.
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:10
			Look at the comfortability of this youth.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12
			Look at how comfortable he was.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			If our youth was to come to us
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:18
			and tell us, Ya Abi, O my father,
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:23
			O Imam, I feel like I'm falling into
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:24
			fitna like zina.
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:26
			Allow me to commit zina.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:28
			What do you say to him?
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:29
			You will slap him before you give him
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:30
			an answer.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:31
			Now that's his answer?
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			Did the Prophet ﷺ do that?
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:36
			Nowadays we have uncles.
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37
			By Allah I'm not saying this is your
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:37
			community.
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40
			We have uncles that are forcing the Qur
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:43
			'an on the youth with violence.
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:44
			Whipping them with sticks.
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:46
			Don't make me bring that stick in the
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
			corner and start whipping brothers now.
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:50
			Is this the reality of the deen of
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:56
			The people of Palestine should be the biggest,
		
00:12:58 --> 00:12:59
			the biggest lesson for us.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			And the people of Palestine love the people
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:02
			of South Africa.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:05
			You've put yourselves on the map, every single
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:06
			one of you.
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:08
			You've opened up your hearts to them.
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:11
			We listen to you.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:13
			We hear your cries.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15
			And today we're going to do something about
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:15
			it.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:19
			Today we will remember you, O people of
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:19
			Palestine.
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:22
			Let me put my differences aside.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:26
			I remember the rest of the ummah.
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:28
			You already know the struggle.
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:31
			Look at Nelson Mandela.
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:34
			The man that was prosecuted.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:39
			The man that got imprisoned for 27 years.
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41
			And the man that came out and became
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:41
			a president.
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			So don't ever belittle the vision that you
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:44
			have in this dunya.
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:47
			If he'd done it, you could do it.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50
			Be the next Salah al-Din al-Ayub.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			Be the next Khalid ibn Walid.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:54
			Be the next Umar ibn Khattab.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:57
			And rise up to oppression.
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			And the oppression starts within your homes first.
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:04
			Don't think you can change the world while
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:07
			your own household is burning down.
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			How's your relationship with your wife?
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:11
			How's your relationship with your husband?
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			And that's a question for the sisters, yeah?
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:18
			How's your relationship with your neighbours?
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			How is your relationship with your kids?
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:24
			The kids that you neglect because you're putting
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:26
			anything and anyone before them.
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:28
			Your kids want you.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:29
			They wanna talk to you.
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31
			They wanna have that connection.
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:33
			But my father's too busy with the dunya.
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:36
			My father's neglected me.
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38
			My father's...
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			I can't remember the last time my father
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			told me that I love you.
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:46
			And the kids, with all due respect to
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			you, you think you guys are innocent?
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			Your kids are gonna be the future.
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:56
			You see, let it be known that Islam
		
00:14:56 --> 00:15:00
			is something that is protective.
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:01
			Protective.
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:05
			And it's not something that is restricted.
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:06
			Subhanallah.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			You think that Islam rejects you and keeps
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:11
			you away from certain things.
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:12
			It's protecting you.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:15
			Someone came to the Prophet ﷺ and he
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			told him, You are Rasulullah.
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			What do I need to do to get
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:19
			to Jannah?
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:22
			You're a shahada.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:24
			You believe in La ilaha illallah Muhammad Rasulullah.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:25
			What's the next one?
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:26
			Can someone tell me?
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:28
			Insallah, your five daily prayers.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:29
			What's the next one?
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:31
			Zakat, Allahu Akbar.
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:32
			What's the next one?
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:34
			MashaAllah, the youth know more than the adults.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:35
			What's going on?
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:37
			What's the last one?
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:48
			He replied, I bear witness that you, O
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:51
			Prophet, is the final messenger.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:53
			Firstly, bear witness that Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			'ala, there's no one worthier of worship than
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:57
			him, except Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:15:59
			Afterwards, he said, I will only pray my
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:01
			five daily prayers.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:03
			What else did he say?
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			He said, when it comes to zakat, I
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:10
			will only pay 2.5%. What about fasting?
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:12
			He said, I don't need to fast.
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:15
			I don't need to fast outside of Ramadan
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			because Ramadan is the only time I will
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:17
			fast.
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			I don't need to do Mondays and Thursdays
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20
			and so on and so forth.
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:22
			Hajj, I will only do it if Allah
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:23
			allows me to do it.
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:24
			If I'm capable to do it.
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:25
			If I have the means, if I have
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:27
			the money, I will do it.
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:29
			He sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that, if
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:32
			this man sticks by this, he will enter
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:32
			Jannah.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:35
			And this is how simple your religion has
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			been to you.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:37
			Do you know what's one of my favorite
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:38
			ayahs?
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:40
			It's when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:43
			today I have completed your deen.
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:44
			Islam.
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:47
			How many of us live by this deen?
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			How many of us prioritize this deen?
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:54
			How many of us prioritize that we worship
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:57
			Allah and we don't worship any other idols
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			that's within us?
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:02
			The idols that's within us are our arrogance,
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:05
			our egos, our pride that gets to us.
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:09
			This brother's driving this car and this brother's
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:12
			got this house and this auntie's got this
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:14
			and this auntie's got the Louis Vuitton bag
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:16
			and we have hasad, we have this evil
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:17
			eye towards them.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:21
			Don't we understand that a true believer is
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:23
			the one that loves for his brother what
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
			he loves for himself?
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:29
			There was a dispute between Umar ibn Khattab
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:30
			and Abu Bakr.
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
			And Abu Bakr made Umar ibn Khattab angry,
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:34
			upset him.
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:38
			So Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, the first companion
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			to work, the first companion to believe in
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:44
			Rasulullah ﷺ, the first companion that accepted Islam,
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:49
			he made Umar ibn Khattab upset so he
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			asked him for forgiveness but Umar ibn Khattab
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:52
			shut his door on him.
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:56
			He went to the Prophet ﷺ and he
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:57
			told him how upset he was.
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:01
			When Umar walked into a gathering, he ﷺ,
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:05
			this is Umar I'm talking about, رضي الله
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:05
			عنه.
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:07
			This is the man that even Shaytan was
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:09
			scared of, gave up on.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			He would cross the road.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:13
			What did he do?
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16
			He put Umar in his position and he
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:19
			told the rest of the companions, how dare
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:23
			you be some type of way towards Abu
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:24
			Bakr when he was the first person that
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:26
			believed in my vision.
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:29
			He believed in Allah ﷻ, accepted Islam.
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:34
			And because of the harshness of the Prophet
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			ﷺ, what happened?
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:38
			What happened?
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:43
			Every single companion from that moment onwards never
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:46
			ever made Abu Bakr al-Siddiq angry, nor
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:48
			did he ever ever make him upset.
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:51
			Then we have the youth of today, the
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:52
			youngsters.
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:56
			Look at the story of Muhammad Fatih, one
		
00:18:56 --> 00:18:59
			of the greatest commanders, one of the greatest
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			generals that ever lived.
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:03
			What happened to him?
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			At the age of four years old, his
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:07
			mother took him to the coast and told
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:08
			him, look over there.
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11
			In today's age, it's called Istanbul.
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:12
			He said, look over there.
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:14
			One day you're going to conquer that.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16
			What's our parents telling the kids today?
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			One day you're going to conquer that phone.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			Or you're going to watch that Netflix.
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:23
			You're going to conquer that?
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:25
			What's our parents teaching us?
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			At the age of four years old, and
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:29
			he himself conquered it.
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:31
			Salah al-Din al-Ayubi.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:35
			Salah al-Din al-Kurdi, as some people
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:36
			recognize him as.
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:37
			What happened to him?
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:39
			What happened to him?
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:42
			This is a man that didn't live a
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			life of practicing Islam.
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			A man that wasn't obedient to Allah.
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			But when he repented, because this is in
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:49
			his youth.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			When he repented to Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:54
			'ala, Allah made him conquer Jerusalem.
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:58
			We are all disobedient to Allah.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			Ask yourself this.
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:03
			Do you really worship Allah the way he
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			deserves to be worshipped?
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:05
			Because I don't.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:08
			Do you really fear Allah the way he
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:09
			deserves to be feared?
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:10
			We don't.
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13
			But Allah still gives us an opportunity to
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:14
			wake up every single day.
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:17
			Another day, another blessing to repent back to
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:18
			him.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:20
			And this is some news to the brothers
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:21
			that are out there.
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:26
			The brothers that subhanAllah that are sucking on
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:27
			light bulbs.
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:31
			The brothers that are getting high on these
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:32
			drugs and substances.
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:34
			Let me make it clear to you brothers.
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:36
			Fix up.
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:39
			Fix up for the sake of Allah.
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:40
			What's it called?
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:41
			Tak, tak.
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:45
			You call it tak.
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:47
			More like this tak is what you need.
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:49
			But this is the reality.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:53
			You need to get high on iman.
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:55
			You need to raise yourself.
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:56
			Become a Muslim.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			Know your identity as a believer.
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:03
			And understand that wallahi if you live by
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:06
			anything other than Islam then Allah would disgrace
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:08
			you in this dunya and akhira.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			And the sisters that once upon a time
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:14
			or once for the first time maybe they
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:14
			come to the masjid.
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:17
			For once they are establishing the hijab.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:20
			Don't you dare look down upon her.
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:22
			Don't you dare.
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:25
			Today could be the first and last day
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:27
			she wears the hijab because of your character
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:28
			and how you treated her.
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			But if you welcome her and how she
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:35
			carried herself in her modesty and how us
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:35
			men.
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:37
			Where are the men?
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:39
			We have many males in this ummah but
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:40
			not enough men.
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:41
			Rajal.
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:45
			Where are the people that will revive the
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			deen of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:50
			Where are the people that are calling the
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52
			people to the Quran and the sunnah.
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:55
			Because your culture is la ilaha illallah.
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			And your DNA is the Quran and the
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:59
			sunnah.
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:01
			And I don't care what color you are.
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			This gangsterism of lifestyle and I've seen it.
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:07
			Some of the boys that came to my
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:10
			talk yesterday subhanallah they tagged me in and
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			you know some of these boys I like
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:13
			to go on their profile to see what's
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:13
			going on.
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:16
			Disobedience to Allah.
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:18
			Their profile is full of music.
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:21
			But mashallah tabarakallah bro yesterday when I saw
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:22
			you you had a kufi on, you had
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:23
			everything on.
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:24
			Let me make it clear to you my
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:24
			bro.
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:26
			Let me make it clear to you my
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:26
			guy.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:28
			Don't be fake ya akhim.
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:31
			Allah sees you and the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:34
			alayhi wa sallam said that Allah will forgive
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:39
			every single sin except the one that is
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:41
			done publicly and openly.
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:44
			But you want to smoke akhim and record
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:44
			yourself?
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47
			Every single person that's seen that video or
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:50
			picture they're going to vouch against you in
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:50
			your maqyama.
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			You listen to music even after your death
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:56
			they're going to remember you because the last
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:57
			post you ever made was something to do
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			with music ya akhim.
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:01
			Diyo diyo.
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:02
			Huh?
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:05
			Is this the reality of a Muslim?
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:08
			Is this what it means to be a
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:08
			Muslim?
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:12
			You have forgotten your identity because you put
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:12
			the dunya first.
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:15
			There is dunya here.
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:19
			Oh sorry, there's the deen here and there's
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:20
			the dunya down here.
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:22
			And the middle which I call it the
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:26
			triple D and the middle is da'wah.
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:29
			And every single Muslim has to give da
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:32
			'wah because even when one ayah was revealed
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:36
			one ayah Abu Bakr and the rest of
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:39
			companions used to call to Allah for that
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:39
			one ayah.
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:43
			So do not ever belittle the one ayah
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:44
			that you give to someone in order for
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:46
			them to be guided to Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:47
			ta'ala.
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:48
			And I'm going to finish up on this
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:49
			inshallah wa ta'ala.
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:53
			One of the tabi'een mentioned this and
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:54
			this is a beautiful statement.
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:59
			He said, Allah created the angels with intellect
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:03
			and Allah also created the animals with what?
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:04
			Desires.
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:07
			And He Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala created
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:11
			the insan, the human beings with both the
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			intellect and the desires.
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:15
			If you were to follow your desires that
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:18
			goes against Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala you're
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:20
			going to be as low as the dogs.
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:24
			And if you follow your intellect you're going
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:26
			to be as high as the mala'ika
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:28
			if not even higher than them in the
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:30
			eyes of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:35
			Oh Muslims, time to wake up man.
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:39
			Time to smell the coffee in the morning
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:40
			as they say.
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:44
			Time for you to adapt this beautiful religion
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			in every aspect of your life.
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:50
			From your marriage, to your business, to your
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:53
			work, to your sleep, to you waking up.
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:59
			To even raising your kids.
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:03
			The deen of Allah will move forward with
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:04
			or without you.
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:05
			And there's a train coming.
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:09
			And that train is the train of Allah
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			subhanahu wa ta'ala where he will revive
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:12
			the deen of Allah.
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:14
			And it's going to have a stop.
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:17
			And that stop is in Cape Town, let's
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:18
			just say.
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:21
			Are you ready to be on that train
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:22
			to revive the deen of Allah?
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:24
			Are you?
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:25
			I'm asking you.
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:29
			Are you ready to revive the deen of
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:29
			Allah?
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:34
			Through your actions, through your character, through your
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:37
			etiquette insha'Allah wa ta'ala for indeed
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:40
			guidance is only from Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:40
			'ala.
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:43
			And not through our actions but let someone
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:45
			else fall in love with Islam because of
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:46
			us.
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:48
			Let them be guided because they fell in
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:51
			love with how you portray Islam and the
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:52
			image of Islam.
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:01
			So my dear respected brothers and sisters, I
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:02
			give you three things to work on.
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:04
			Three relationships.
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:08
			Your first relationship is your relationship with Allah
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10
			and with the deen of Allah or whatever
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:11
			comes with the deen of Allah.
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:14
			You better yourself in your character.
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:16
			You better yourself in your behavior.
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:20
			You better yourself in understanding and seeking the
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:21
			knowledge insha'Allah wa ta'ala.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:23
			That's your first relationship.
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:28
			Your second relationship is your relationship with your
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:28
			family.
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:31
			Your parents, your mother that carried you for
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:34
			nine months, your father that's outside working day
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36
			in day out to make sure that you
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:37
			have clothes.
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:39
			Your father that's paying for your tuition for
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:41
			being in this masjid, learning the deen of
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:42
			Allah.
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:44
			Your father that's working hard.
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:53
			Over seventeen hundred students in this school.
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:56
			Who's going to be the next Salahuddin Al
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:56
			-Ayyub?
		
00:26:58 --> 00:26:59
			Who's going to be there?
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:01
			And this brother is putting his hand up
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:02
			and I hope you're being sincere my brother.
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:04
			That's it, that's what we need.
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:08
			We need people to better themselves and that's
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:09
			the second relationship is with your parents.
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:12
			Put your hand up if you still have
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:13
			your parents around.
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:16
			Put your hand up if you still have
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:17
			your mother around.
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			And I'm jealous of every single one of
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:23
			you here because you're going back to a
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:24
			mother and I am not.
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:27
			At least you could kiss her and hug
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:27
			her.
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:30
			At least you could taste her food.
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:33
			For indeed I am going back to a
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:37
			memory that only exists in my head.
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:39
			Create memories.
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:43
			My youngsters here today, you go home, you
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:46
			bring a bucket of water, warm water, with
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:50
			some Himalayan salt, whatever it may be, some
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:50
			herbs in there.
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:53
			Start massaging your mother and your father's feet
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			for every step they took for the struggle
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:59
			of pleasing you and making sure that you
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:03
			are okay physically, financially, physically, your health.
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:06
			Then show your appreciation to them.
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:09
			That's what you need to start doing every
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:10
			single week at least.
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:12
			But this is something that I used to
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:12
			do.
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:15
			And every single step that your mother took
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:17
			while you were pregnant, just understand this, it
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:17
			wasn't easy.
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:23
			And your final relationship, Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:26
			'ala says, save yourselves first and then your
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:26
			family.
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			Your relationship with yourself, man.
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:32
			How are you with yourself?
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:36
			Find out who you are and become that
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:36
			person.
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:38
			Understand what it means.
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:41
			Be the change you wish to see in
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:42
			the world.
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:43
			Be that change.
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:45
			Stop pointing fingers at people.
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:48
			Stop pointing fingers at the Muslim leaders and
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:51
			the scholars and the ulama and the imams
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:52
			and the students of knowledge.
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:53
			Stop pointing fingers at them.
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:55
			Point fingers at yourself.
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:57
			Because every single time you point a finger
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:59
			at someone, three other fingers point back at
		
00:28:59 --> 00:28:59
			you.
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:03
			Your own hand speaks against you.
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:06
			So start with yourself.
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:08
			You're the future.
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:10
			Your kids are the future.
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:12
			Begin.
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:15
			Begin with worshipping Allah the way He deserves
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:16
			to be worshipped.
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:19
			Begin with respecting your parents.
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:23
			Stop trying to change the world and change
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:26
			your ability within your own community.
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:30
			Your community needs help.
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:32
			So start with that insha'Allah wa ta
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:32
			'ala.
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:35
			I love every single one of you for
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:36
			the sake of Allah but I want to
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:39
			ask the three questions.
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:41
			Are you ready for the three questions, yeah?
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:42
			You're really sure, yeah?
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:43
			Alas.
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:46
			Because we're not here to make sure who's
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:47
			the loudest or what.
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:48
			No, but listen to this.
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:51
			When I ask you this question, I want
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:53
			you to answer it sincerely from your heart,
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:55
			not from your mouth, from your heart.
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:57
			So when you say it, you say it
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:58
			from in here.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:01
			Who is your lord?
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:05
			I expected louder but I don't know, insha
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:05
			'Allah.
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:07
			I'm going to ask again.
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:08
			Who is your lord?
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:12
			What is your deen?
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:16
			And who is your prophet?
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:19
			Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:21
			Now I'm going to ask you those three
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:23
			questions again but do not open your mouth
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:24
			and keep them sealed.
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:27
			Who is your lord?
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:30
			I don't know how brothers are still speaking.
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:32
			Masha'Allah.
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:34
			Where is your deen?
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:36
			And who is your prophet?
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:40
			If you didn't live by those three things
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:42
			in this dunya, that's the same way you're
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:43
			going to reply in the grave.
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:47
			But if you replied like the first time,
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50
			it's because you acted upon it in this
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:50
			dunya.
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:52
			So remember that, insha'Allah.
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:54
			May Allah bless you.
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:56
			May peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:56
			upon you.
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:35
			through his lectures and social media profile.
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:37
			We look forward to his next visit to
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:38
			Cape Town, insha'Allah.
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:46
			There is just a few announcements.
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:49
			Alhamdulillah, we are truly honored to have tomorrow,
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:52
			Saturday, the 12th of October, a world-renowned
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:54
			Qari, Sheikh Abu Bakr al-Shatari.
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:57
			He will be leading the Maghrib Salah and
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:58
			there will be a short Qira'ah program
		
00:31:58 --> 00:31:59
			afterwards.
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:01
			All the Musalis are welcome to attend as
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:03
			this will be a once-in-a-lifetime
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:04
			opportunity.
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:07
			Alhamdulillah, Islamia College once again has the honor
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:09
			of officiating the Jumu'ah proceedings.
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:12
			The first Adhan will be rendered by Ahmed
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:14
			Muqaddam and the second Adhan will be rendered
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:17
			by Adam Arend, both who are learners of
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:18
			Islamia College.
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:19
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:20
			Bismillah.
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:24
			I just want to say the brother is
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:25
			doing an amazing job.
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:27
			May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless him.
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:30
			But before we get the brother to carry
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:32
			on, because I know I did this yesterday
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:33
			and I want to do this here in
		
00:32:33 --> 00:32:35
			the masjid, I'm going to say the three
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:36
			Takbeerat.
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:39
			Allahumma barak on every single one of you
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:40
			to get involved.
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:43
			So Cape Town, Takbeer!
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:45
			Takbeer!
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:48
			Takbeer!
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:50
			Takbeer!
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:52
			Allahu Akbar!
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:53
			Habibi.
		
00:32:57 --> 00:32:59
			We would like to ask all the Musalis
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:01
			to please stand and fold a soft Salah
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:03
			in front so that no time is wasted
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:04
			between the Adhan and the Iqamah.
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:05
			Shukran.
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:07
			Wassalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:32
			Insha'Allah.
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:34
			Insha'Allah the khutba will be rendered by
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:36
			our beloved Qari Ziyad Patel.
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:36
			Insha'Allah.
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:38
			As well as the Salatul Jumu'ah will
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:41
			be led by Qari Ziyad Patel.
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:44
			We can shorten the rows a bit.
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:46
			Maybe about half of the foot span.
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:47
			Insha'Allah.
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:49
			Just to allow the other people to stand
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:49
			in.
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:51
			Try to keep your rows straight as possible.
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:53
			The school is also open.
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:55
			The school is also open for those who
		
00:36:55 --> 00:36:55
			are standing outside.
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:57
			The school is open.
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:02
			The one side in the upstairs is allocated
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:03
			for ladies only insha'Allah.
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:05
			So the school is open for the men.
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:07
			Those who are still standing outside in the
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:07
			sun.
		
00:37:08 --> 00:37:08
			Jazakumullah.
		
00:52:59 --> 00:53:06
			The Master of the Day of Judgment It
		
00:53:06 --> 00:53:09
			is You we worship and You we ask
		
00:53:09 --> 00:53:17
			for help Guide us to the straight path
		
00:53:18 --> 00:53:32
			The path of those You have blessed The
		
00:53:43 --> 00:53:44
			path of those You have blessed The companions
		
00:53:44 --> 00:53:48
			of the Fire are not equal to those
		
00:53:48 --> 00:53:56
			of Paradise The companions of Paradise are the
		
00:53:56 --> 00:54:06
			winners If We had sent down
		
00:54:06 --> 00:54:09
			this Qur'an upon a mountain, you would
		
00:54:09 --> 00:54:18
			have seen it humbly, trembling in fear of
		
00:54:18 --> 00:54:24
			Allah If We had sent down this Qur
		
00:54:24 --> 00:54:27
			'an upon a mountain, you would have seen
		
00:54:27 --> 00:54:37
			it humbly, trembling in fear of Allah And
		
00:54:37 --> 00:54:41
			these are the examples We present to the
		
00:54:41 --> 00:54:50
			people, perhaps they will give thought He
		
00:54:50 --> 00:54:58
			is Allah, there is no god but He,
		
00:55:01 --> 00:55:11
			the witness, the Merciful, the Compassionate He
		
00:55:11 --> 00:55:21
			is Allah, there is no god
		
00:55:21 --> 00:55:27
			but He, the King, the Holy, the Peaceful,
		
00:55:27 --> 00:55:32
			the Believer, the Righteous, the Mighty, the Compelling,
		
00:55:32 --> 00:55:37
			the Exalted in Might Exalted is Allah
		
00:55:37 --> 00:55:45
			above what they associate with
		
00:55:45 --> 00:55:52
			Him He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor,
		
00:55:52 --> 00:55:59
			the Bestower, to Whom belong the Most Beautiful
		
00:55:59 --> 00:56:46
			Names He
		
00:56:46 --> 00:56:47
			is Allah, the Creator, the Bestower, the Bestower,
		
00:56:47 --> 00:56:52
			to Whom belong the Most Beautiful Names Exalted
		
00:56:52 --> 00:57:09
			is Allah All
		
00:57:09 --> 00:57:12
			praise is due to Allah, Lord of the
		
00:57:12 --> 00:57:30
			Universe, Most Gracious, Most Merciful, to
		
00:57:30 --> 00:57:35
			Whom we ask for help Guide us to
		
00:57:35 --> 00:57:42
			the straight path The path of those upon
		
00:57:42 --> 00:57:45
			whom You have bestowed Your Grace, those who
		
00:57:45 --> 00:57:49
			have not incurred Your Wrath, and those who
		
00:57:49 --> 00:58:05
			have not gone astray Is
		
00:58:05 --> 00:58:12
			there not a Day when it is created?
		
00:58:14 --> 00:58:19
			And to the heaven how it is raised?
		
00:58:20 --> 00:58:23
			And to the mountains how it is set?
		
00:58:24 --> 00:58:27
			And to the earth how it is spread?
		
00:58:28 --> 00:58:38
			So remind, you are only a reminder
		
00:58:38 --> 00:58:44
			You have no control over them except those
		
00:58:44 --> 00:58:49
			who turn away and disbelieve So Allah will
		
00:58:49 --> 00:58:55
			punish them with the greatest punishment Indeed, to
		
00:58:55 --> 00:59:05
			Us is their return Then upon Us is
		
00:59:05 --> 01:00:00
			their reckoning Allah
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:45
			is the Greatest Peace
		
01:00:45 --> 01:01:21
			and Mercy of Allah be upon you And
		
01:01:21 --> 01:01:26
			bless us with what you have given And
		
01:01:26 --> 01:01:28
			protect us and keep away from us, out
		
01:01:28 --> 01:01:31
			of your mercy, the evil of what you
		
01:01:31 --> 01:01:34
			have done For indeed, you do justice, and
		
01:01:34 --> 01:01:40
			it is not justified against you Indeed, Allah
		
01:01:40 --> 01:01:43
			does not humiliate those who turn away And
		
01:01:43 --> 01:01:47
			He does not honor those who turn away
		
01:01:48 --> 01:01:52
			Exalted are You, our Lord, and Exalted are
		
01:01:52 --> 01:01:55
			You So to You is all praise for
		
01:01:55 --> 01:01:59
			what You have done And to You is
		
01:01:59 --> 01:02:05
			all thanks for what You have given We
		
01:02:05 --> 01:02:08
			ask forgiveness of You, O Allah, for all
		
01:02:08 --> 01:02:12
			our sins and faults, and we repent to
		
01:02:12 --> 01:02:19
			You Exalted is Allah, and exalted is His
		
01:02:19 --> 01:02:23
			praise Exalted is Allah, the Most High, the
		
01:02:23 --> 01:02:26

01:02:26 --> 01:02:30

01:02:30 --> 01:02:34

			Ever-Living, the Ever-Sustaining, and I repent
		
01:02:44 --> 01:02:48
			to Him My Lord, forgive and have mercy,
		
01:02:48 --> 01:02:50
