My dear respected elders and brothers,
we begin by praising almighty Allah
sending salutations upon our beloved Nabiya Kareem.
We thank Allah
that Allah has given us the opportunity
to gather
on a and blessed and a joyous day.
Nabiya Kareem
had said
when he came to Madinah
and he saw the tribes of Anzar
expressing joy and having a day of happiness,
said, Each and every nation has a day
of happiness,
and these are our days of happiness.
So this is
a day of happiness decreed by our beloved
Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
However, an important point
to remember is how a nation
celebrates
and when it celebrates
its days of happiness
tells us a lot about
the values
of that nation and that deen.
We celebrate
after we have done righteous deeds during the
month of Ramadan.
And that is the reason of our happiness.
And indeed,
that is the greatest happiness.
Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alaihi wasallam was once asked,
mal iman. What is iman?
Nabiya Kareem said
when your good deeds
grants you satisfaction
satisfaction,
not pride,
grants you satisfaction.
And when your evil
deeds bothers your conscience,
then death is a sign of iman.
When your good deeds grant you satisfaction
and your evil deeds bothers your consciousness
conscience,
that is the sign of iman.
And how do we celebrate? Amazing.
Nations in the world when there is the
day of happiness,
they will dance and they will feast and
they will have music.
Look at our days of happiness. We have
gathered here to remember Allah Ta'ala.
So when we celebrate,
how we celebrate
tells us a lot with regard to our
values which are unique.
My dear respected elders and brothers, on this
particular occasion,
at the end of Ramadan,
we normally,
at the
and the conclusion of anything,
the sharia has taught us
that we end up something with an attitude
of hope and.
Hope and.
Fear and hope.
And why how do we create this balance?
And why do we do so?
Fear that although we might have attempted
to do good deeds in Ramadan,
We have not been able to do justice
to the blessedness of the month of Ramadan.
And despite the blessedness of the month of
Ramadan,
sometimes we still committed sin.
So we have fear
that you Allah
do not take us to task
with regard to the shortcomings
that we did not on ordinary days
but even in a month of Ramadan.
On one hand
we have
fear.
On the other hand, we have hope.
We have hope that Allah
will accept the efforts
that we did
in the month of Ramadan.
There were people who stood in Tarawi for
long periods of time, and I'm amazed.
You never find it anywhere else.
People don't know the language for this thing
for long periods of time.
You think allah will not take that into
account
Allah never allows anyone's effort to go to
waste says allah in the Quran
Allah will never allow
anyone's
effort to go to waste.
Allah is aware.
We find in our communities
small small children
upon whom fasting is not compulsory.
And you find that they are the ones
who took pride
in keeping
fast
my grandchildren took pride
today we did a full
fast
It was 7, 8 years.
You think Allah will not take that into
account?
Allah is merciful.
So we end with hope. End
hope.
There is an incident and I will make
there are so many incidents that this one
is mentioned in the hadith so I will
make mention of it.
A person from the previous time, Nabiya, Karim
SAW, said
he committed 99 murders.
So the the words of the hadith are
very instructive.
He thought that I want to change my
life.
And when he thought about changing his life,
he went to a.
The hadith says he went to a.
Means a worshiper, not an.
And that is why you find the reason
why Nabiya Karim saw a salam had said,
1 alim is more difficult upon shaitan than
100 worshipers.
So he went to the. He said I
want to change.
The said no. You committed 99 murders. No
chance for your career. You're going to Jahannam.
People are very quick nowadays to put people
in Jahannam. So then he said, you are
now, you know, going to. So he said
you don't even give him your hope. So
in, you know, in in our terms, you
will say, let me finish the century.
Finish him also up. Completed a 100 murders.
Then someone told him there's a very wise.
Very wise, who's kind, compassionate, not harsh.
Go to him.
So he went to him, and he was
on his way when Allah took his.
And in that particular time, the 2
the 2 angels came together.
The angels of punishment.
He committed a 100 murders. We are gonna
take his soul.
The angels of mercy came. He was on
his way for reformation.
We're going to take his soul.
The matter went to Allah decided
see which place is more nearer.
Is the place where he committed the sun
nearer
or is the place where he was going
to reform and to repent nearer.
Ulama have said that allah ta'ala brought the
the place where he was going made it
more further
and it was found
that that place was more you know nearer
That place was more nearer. That made it
such. So told the angels of mercy take
his souls.
The one who committed a 100 murders
but his intention was to change.
Allah commanded
the angels of mercy to take his soul
after committing 100 murders.
I make an appeal to all of us
here.
Make the intention to change. Such is the
impact of the intention to change. Do you
make this intention?
Inshallah, this Ramadan, whatever we did, we make
an intention to change. This is the impact
of an intention to change.
Brothers, let me also say at this particular
juncture and critical juncture in our,
there is a need
for us to be united.
There is so much of benefit in unity.
We saw in Ramadan.
You know, amazingly, how Allah
created love.
Muhammad, there was unity. There wasn't a normal
type of different types of, you know, disharmony
that we had. Then you saw
closer to the time of, you know, end
of Ramadan. Now you see now, Shaitan is
getting loose. Then you saw all the fitness
starting. But in Ramadan, you find such great,
pure, beautiful unity
and beautiful harmony.
Let us keep and let us strive towards
that.
Had said,
The hand of Allah is on the united
lord.
Mawlana Yusuf Sabra Mutulali, the son of Mawlana
Yaa Sabra Mutulali used to say, until the
Ummat is not united,
Allah ta'ala's assistance will not come.
Allah ta'ala's assistance will not come. Allah's assistance
will come when this ummah is united.
Let us strive towards
that.
Came to South Africa many years back and
in Azad well, he's gave this example. He
said sometimes
you take
expensive hood on its own.
It does not have value. You put it
together, it becomes expensive furniture.
When we are united,
that's
how our
value increases.
And then he gave the example. The heart
is very valuable,
but the heart is valuable when it is
attached to the body. Take the heart out
of the body. Keep it separate.
In in one day, 2 days, even a
dog will not eat that heart.
It is only valuable
when it is attached to the body, when
it is united.
Therefore, we must strive towards this. Nabiya Kareem
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam had said, should
I not tell you something?
More valuable
than nafil first nafil rosa and nafil ibradat
and salat.
Tell us
bring people together.
Bring people together
because disunity
and dis harm disharmony.
It shaves off and because shaving has got
to do with the hair, he said I
don't say shaves off your hair.
It shaves off your deen.
Disharmony and creating just just unity
shaves off your dean. It is amazing that
we don't seem to understand this.
The son of in his last
made mention which has been translated in English,
And he made mention of this. He said
on the day of qiamat,
Allah will put a person in jahannam.
And he will say, you Allah, why are
you putting me in jahannam?
And you know what the answer will be?
Is
made mention of it. He said,
the Ummat was at a critical time.
And you said a statement.
You broke the Ummat. Therefore, you're going into
Jahannam.
Critical time, you posted something
that created more confusion.
Do we realize the consequences of what we
are doing?
And then a person who was not so
biased,
he, Allah, will put him in Jannat, and
he would say, you, Allah, why are you
putting me in Jannat?
And he said the ummat was at a
critical time. You did an action. You said
a statement. You brought the ummat together.
This is the importance with regard to it.
Had said in the hadith
that
he who remains
separated
from the united lot,
from the united Ummat even to the extent
of 1
handspend.
It's a warning for those who went against
the unanimity of the Ummat.
You have taken off the yoke of Islam
from your neck.
You have gone off from the ummat to
the extent of 1 one shiver,
one hand spent.
You have taken off the yoke of Islam
from your neck.
Brothers,
always brought 2 people together.
One day, there was a dispute
in Cuba. Nabiya Kareem told the people
The tribe were disputing.
Told the
Let us go and reconcile them. When he
came back, that's
amongst the few occasions that Nabi saw a
was a masbuk
because Nabi saw a waslam came late for
us And Abdul Rahmani be of led the
prayers. But such was a importance to create
unity that Nabi saw Islam went and he
got late for us.
On one occasion, a very interesting incident,
you know, that there was a Sahabi by
the name of Abdullah bin Hadrad. He was
owing Kab bin Malik radiAllahu ta'ala some money,
and he took late in repaying it. So
Kab bin Malik met him in the masjid,
and there were some words.
Voices were raised. Was in his room.
Formed his room.
Bring down the amount that he's owing you.
Give some concession.
Give concession to this extent. Then we saw
pay him immediately that amount.
Then we saw aslam reconciled and the 2
people were reconciled.
Therefore, it is said
the greatest is to bring people together and
bring the community
together
in. This hadith is made mention.
He reconciles people. Allah will make his affairs
correct.
Yes.
You make an attempt to reconcile people. Allah
will correct your affairs.
And the converse is also true. You create
this unity. You will see that there will
be no barakah in your life.
Your whole life will become upside down and
we have seen it. The people who create
this unity you will find that their affairs
are not correct. So Nabi al Karim salallahu
alaihi wa sallam has taught us all these
things. And one of the things that Nabi
salallahu alaihi wasallam has taught is
stop circulating
unverified
news.
If anyone comes to you with any news,
verify
it before you post it.
Otherwise, you will do something that is a
cause of regret.
And many times, you and I, we will
say, yeah, but I heard people are saying,
oh, how we doing today's time? Send some
things push forward. We don't know the verification
as received.
Nabiya Kareem also said
It is enough for a person to be
called a liar that he relates whatever he
hears.
I was forwarding it as received. That person
who only sends things on the basis of
has received. In the words of Nabiya Karim,
he's a liar.
And one of the reasons, my dear respected
brothers, and I will that's my last point.
One of the reasons we need unity
is because of what is happening in the
world today.
You allah.
We do not know the reasons. Allah
knows. We know today we have a certain
degree
of reconciliation,
peace. We can sit in this particular time,
gather together to read. We make dua that
Allah give us further security in our homes,
InshaAllah, in our country.
Together with all the duas we make, we
must make du'a
Allah rectify
and amend the situation in this country.
After all, we have been here for so
long. Centuries.
Allah has given us a certain degree of
freedom in our religion. We must make dua
that Allah maintains that. We have to play
a role with regard to it. We we
have to put our shoulder to the wheel.
We can't just sit back in our, you
know, homes and not make any effort. We
have to make an effort to make this
country a better place to live in.
After all, how many people and how many
percentage of the people are going to migrate?
How many people can afford to migrate? 3%?
2%.
So we are the other 97 percent of
the people going to go. If we are
going to stay here, then it is our
duty that we make duas that Allah grants
us stability. Allah grants peace. Allah keep us
away from crime, and we make an effort.
You play your role.
Whatever it needs to be done, you play
your role. People say that the streets are
not clean. Okay? That's something that authorities are
supposed to do. That is not in your
control. At least keep the veranda of your
skin.
See to it the outside of your house
is clean.
Play your role. So in this particular way,
that is our inside internal. Look at what's
happening in Gaza. My dear respected elders and
brothers today, each and everyone, we have to
keep this in mind. We have to temper
our days of joy today if we did.
We have to temper our indulgence.
Keep in mind
the situation of the people of Gaza.
Temper that particular
situation. 33,000
people killed.
You Allah. We don't know the reason. Allah
knows best. We are very quick to judge
as if we have received working from almighty
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Who knows?
These people are going through such great
trials
And look at their steadfastness.
Your life, 33,000
people were killed in our community. What would
be the situation of the community?
Yet we got the
the audacity
to pass judgment on people in which 33,000
people have been killed. We don't look at
the other side.
You think Allah will just make you say
iman
and bring iman and Allah will not test
you?
And when Allah test us test you, Allah
grants you a ring beyond what you can
imagine.
Allah knows. Maybe Allah is testing them. And
if Allah is testing them, who Allah knows
with regard to his wisdom.
What we will say is if Allah is
testing them, then there is no more greater
people.
There is no more greater people
that have been put to test than the
people of Gaza.
No more greater people. Yesterday, we read the
the president
of Ishmael.
His 3 children and grandchildren who died, and
what did he say?
The blood
of the Palestinian people is more valuable
than the blood of my own children.
Can anyone of us have that type of
courage and conviction?
And yet we are quick to judge.
You, Allah.
We make du'a that allah grant them steadfastness
we make du'a that allah grant them victory
we make du'a that allah give
them further courage with regard to the resistance.
They are sacrificing themselves,
driven by but by nothing. But they fear
and conviction in the law, subhanahu wa ta'ala.
And remember, my dear respected brothers, this is
not something new.
I will read one iota of the holy
Quran as we come to the conclusion.
And that is
did the same thing.
Says Allah in the holy
Quran. Was dominant, and he was high handed
in the earth. Today is the same same
thing. The powers are high handed. They don't
care about anything.
He made people into different
regions and different sects.
He created this unity. So today we find
the same thing. The firans of this time,
they are also creating disunity and creating sex
within the Muslim, and we are falling to
that. In
the he punished some people. He rewarded some
people.
You Allah.
Then he
he slaughtered
some of the people. He slaughtered the children,
and he kept the woman alive for them
because they are vulnerable.
Don't you see the reality what is happening?
The firauns of today doing the same thing.
Then he changed generation.
He changed the narrative.
So Musa alaihi salaam told him
Israel.
Send with me Israel and do not punish
them. And he said,
oh my people,
Musa and Harun,
they want to take you out of your
homeland.
You Allah. Today, the enemies are saying the
same thing. The Palestinians want to take the
people out of their homeland. They they put
the blame that side. So it does happen.
And then what Allah did,
Allah
you know, Musa Alaihi Salam made dua. So
let us also make dua.
Is using his wealth against the most against
the Muslims of the time, and do not
let him die until he sees your punishment.
A letter says,
Oh, Musa, we have accepted your dua. Say
that although he made this dua, it took
7 40 or 70 years before the completion
of the dua.
Was destroyed.
The of this time will also be destroyed.
Say amen,
They will be destroyed and never lose hope.
Never become despondent. Never.
Don't lose hope. Don't lose heart. You will
be victorious if you are believers. Not did
Allah only give us consolation.
He also told us
the way to achieve victory.
And although, you know, our time is up
but there's one point that I just want
to say just to show you
how we must not lose
and must not become the spend and not
lose out in the battle of wahad.
Then the news went in the muhammad and
kadmaht. Muhammed has been killed.
So they lost some of them lost
you know they became in some way they
became disappointed and they said what is the
use of living?
After Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam has passed on.
So it's a natural reaction because they love
so
much.
If Muhammad is killed
and if he were to be martyred, later
on it became it was not true. They
they gathered. And then this verse, if Muhammad
salallahu alayhi wasalam want to have been martyred,
were you going to lose and turn away
from deen?
Just just think about that.
And my last point, if Muhammad salallahu alaihi
wa sallam were to have been martyred in
the battle,
were you going to become despondent and turn
away from religion?
You know warned that don't become despondent.
We say the same thing Even if we
sometimes feel hurt.
Even if there are 30,000
or 30,000
people who have been martyred.
If the passing away of Nabiya Karim saasalam,
the martyrdom of Nabiya saasalam is not supposed
to make us feel despondent
then whose life is more valuable than that?
And even in this,
we will still feel and we will still
have conviction in our religion.
Will we have that conviction still? That in
Islam, there is
one more 1 or 2 announcements inshallah as
we go towards the end of Ramadan.
Just, 2 weeks after Ramadan, there will be
the,
and we make dua that, make it a
successful one, Fulfill the objectives of the htimah.
to be part of that, Insha'Allah.
to be part of that, Insha'Allah.
