Allah,

00:00:26 --> 00:00:30

expected Allah and my beloved mothers and fathers and beloved

00:00:30 --> 00:00:34

sisters and brothers and honorable youth and children, I greet you

00:00:34 --> 00:00:38

with the Universal greeting of love and peace and mercy.

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40

Assalamu. Alaikum. Raquel,

00:00:43 --> 00:00:47

it is also, indeed a great honor and a privilege for me to be here,

00:00:47 --> 00:00:50

Alhamdulillah. And as Mawlana said, it's a

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

It was long overdue, but Alhamdulillah, it's a great honor

00:00:54 --> 00:00:57

and a privilege for me to be here. It's a great honor and a privilege

00:00:57 --> 00:00:58

for all of us to be in the Jummah.

00:01:01 --> 00:01:04

Just to give an idea of how great the Juma is in the eyes of Allah

00:01:04 --> 00:01:09

subhana wa taala, our beloved Nabi Muhammad, says in the long Hadith

00:01:09 --> 00:01:10

while jumuatu il Jumuah,

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

the fact that you are in this Jumaa

00:01:15 --> 00:01:18

and you were in the Jumaa last week, all minor sins that happened

00:01:18 --> 00:01:22

between last week and this week, he's been has been forgiven by

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23

Allah, subhanho wa Taala

00:01:25 --> 00:01:31

Alhamdulillah. We thank Allah also for granting us the greatest honor

00:01:31 --> 00:01:34

and privilege, and that is to be part of the ummah of Sayyidina,

00:01:34 --> 00:01:41

Muhammad, illallah, Wanda wala sharikala, and we pay testimony

00:01:41 --> 00:01:44

that no one has got the right to be worshiped except Allah alone.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:50

And we bear witness and testimony that our beloved Nabi Muhammad,

00:01:50 --> 00:01:54

sallAllahu, Sallam is the final and the greatest messenger Allah,

00:01:54 --> 00:01:59

subhana wa Taala al qawil, the one that said Ola na Sibi, yam al

00:01:59 --> 00:02:03

qiyama, akhtarum, Alaya salatan, the people nearest to me on the

00:02:03 --> 00:02:08

day of qiyama, and the people first in line to receive the shafa

00:02:08 --> 00:02:12

afraso Allah Salah Swami ordered to enter the Jannah, are those

00:02:12 --> 00:02:16

Muslim men who were the most consistent in putting Salawat on

00:02:16 --> 00:02:19

the greatest human being that ever came to this world, our beloved

00:02:19 --> 00:02:23

Nabi, Muhammad, sallAllahu, sallam. So what must mean? Allow

00:02:23 --> 00:02:24

me to say

00:02:26 --> 00:02:31

that maybe the Ummah hasn't yet realized the value of putting

00:02:31 --> 00:02:36

salah. Abbi Mohammed, just to give you another Hadith, Rasulullah

00:02:36 --> 00:02:39

says, mansala Alaya Salatin,

00:02:40 --> 00:02:45

Min umati, mukhili San bin kalbihi, any person of my Ummah

00:02:45 --> 00:02:50

that puts only one Salah on me, but just by saying, for example,

00:02:50 --> 00:02:53

Allah masala, Allah Sayyidina, Muhammad mulisan, Min Kal Bihi,

00:02:54 --> 00:02:58

sincerely from his heart, this hadith teaches us. How do we put

00:02:58 --> 00:03:02

salawat and Rasulullah sallallahu, sallam? Not by the way, mukhili

00:03:02 --> 00:03:07

San min kalbi, sincerely from the heart, with feeling. Sallallahu

00:03:07 --> 00:03:10

Alaihi ashram, Allah will put in Salah word from Allah on you.

00:03:12 --> 00:03:16

Wa, Rafa. Wa Rafa. Ubi Ashra da Rajat, and Allah will raise you

00:03:16 --> 00:03:17

Tim da Rajat,

00:03:18 --> 00:03:22

wakatabala, Abu Asmaa Hasan. And Allah will write down for you as

00:03:22 --> 00:03:28

if you've done 10 good deeds. Wa Maha Anu, Bihar, Asha Rasi and

00:03:28 --> 00:03:33

Allah will wipe out 10 of your sins. Means, just to get the real

00:03:33 --> 00:03:39

value of this hadith, please don't confine yourself to once, to one

00:03:39 --> 00:03:45

Salah if, for example, you make time 10 minutes, 15 minutes of

00:03:45 --> 00:03:51

your 24 hours every day to put 100 Salawat on Rasulullah. It means

00:03:51 --> 00:03:55

that Allah will put 1000 Salawat on you every day. And Allah will

00:03:55 --> 00:04:00

raise you 1000 darajat. And Allah, right, will write down for you as

00:04:00 --> 00:04:05

if you've done 1000 good deeds, and Allah will wipe out 1000 of

00:04:05 --> 00:04:06

your sins.

00:04:07 --> 00:04:12

So the first, the first lesson or reminder that I want to give my

00:04:12 --> 00:04:15

honorable brothers and sisters today is, please, from today

00:04:15 --> 00:04:21

onwards, make sure that you put at least 100 salawat and Rasulullah

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23

Sallam every day inshaAllah,

00:04:24 --> 00:04:27

Allah Salim, abarik ala Han Nabi il Kareem,

00:04:28 --> 00:04:33

we ask Allah subhana wa Taala in this hour of Jumaa to put Salawat

00:04:33 --> 00:04:37

in Salaam in barakah and our beloved Nabi Muhammad, sallAllahu,

00:04:37 --> 00:04:42

Sallam wa Allah Salim and all his brothers of the ambiya and mur

00:04:42 --> 00:04:46

Salin and all their families and friends, wah sal Allahu, mahita

00:04:46 --> 00:04:50

Muslimeen. And likewise, we ask Allah, in this Holy Hour of Jum to

00:04:50 --> 00:04:54

grant me and you and all the Muslim in the most beautiful

00:04:54 --> 00:04:58

ending of this world. And may Allah raise us the Day of Qiyamah

00:04:58 --> 00:04:59

under the banner of our beloved Nabih.

00:05:00 --> 00:05:01

Muhammad, sallAllahu, sallam,

00:05:02 --> 00:05:07

amaba, ibad, Allah, after that, O honorable and beloved slaves of

00:05:07 --> 00:05:12

much as possible. Wa alter all and be obedient to Allah. Fama as Adam

00:05:17 --> 00:05:20

in Alta Atum, for indeed in the whole world, no one is more

00:05:20 --> 00:05:24

happier and no one is more successful than the one that is

00:05:24 --> 00:05:27

obedient to Allah and obedient to our beloved NaVi Muhammad,

00:05:27 --> 00:05:32

sallAllahu, wasallam wa Allah Taala yaku mi tanzini, and know

00:05:32 --> 00:05:36

well that ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala says in the Holy Quran in Surah to

00:05:36 --> 00:05:40

Toba Aya number 38 the Adamos Rajim

00:05:42 --> 00:05:42

ya

00:06:00 --> 00:06:08

background of this ayah is our beloved Nabi Ali said to some call

00:06:08 --> 00:06:15

this ahava, to go out for the battle of Tabuk, and few of them,

00:06:15 --> 00:06:18

three or four of them for

00:06:19 --> 00:06:23

simple reasons, because of the heat, because some of them were

00:06:23 --> 00:06:26

expecting the dates, you know,

00:06:27 --> 00:06:32

to be ripen, and so they delayed. They delayed to go with

00:06:32 --> 00:06:38

Rasulullah. Allah subhana wa Taala is reprimanding them in this way.

00:06:38 --> 00:06:42

Yaw labina amanu, oh, you believe? Malakum, what is wrong with you?

00:06:43 --> 00:06:47

Either clean Allah, come on. Fi rufi, sabilah, if the kal tumilla,

00:06:47 --> 00:06:50

earth, when it is said unto you, go in the path of Allah.

00:06:51 --> 00:06:57

You cling on to this world. You hold on to this world. Aradhi,

00:06:57 --> 00:07:02

tumble hayati, dunya, Mila, do you prefer the life of this world?

00:07:02 --> 00:07:06

Allah is asking the question, do you prefer the life of this world

00:07:07 --> 00:07:11

to the life of the akhirah, fam hayati, dunya,

00:07:12 --> 00:07:18

Phil Earth, don't you know? Don't you believe? Don't you realize

00:07:18 --> 00:07:24

that the pleasure of this worldly life is but little in comparison

00:07:24 --> 00:07:27

to the comfort and the praises of the akhira,

00:07:29 --> 00:07:33

our beloved Nabi Muhammad Ali said to Islam, says in Hadith Malam

00:07:33 --> 00:07:35

yattam Yamir al muslimin, falaisa minum,

00:07:37 --> 00:07:41

those who are not concerned about the affairs of the Muslim in

00:07:41 --> 00:07:48

falaisa, minhum, those who don't care for Muslims, you are not part

00:07:48 --> 00:07:53

of this ummah. Can you imagine Rasulullah disown you from being a

00:07:53 --> 00:07:56

part of this ummah because you're not concerned

00:07:59 --> 00:08:00

about

00:08:01 --> 00:08:03

others? Beloved

00:08:05 --> 00:08:11

ones, I advise you and me, first of all, to fear Allah subhana wa

00:08:11 --> 00:08:15

Taala and to be obedient to Allah subhana wa taala. What would that

00:08:15 --> 00:08:15

give? Kum

00:08:16 --> 00:08:22

be Anna hail um, Mata al Audi, Mata tu vaji, Hu ha Han Taha,

00:08:22 --> 00:08:28

Hadiya, avima Wasa, but your beloved ones. I also want to

00:08:28 --> 00:08:32

remind you that this great ummah of Sayyidina, muhammadin,

00:08:32 --> 00:08:38

sallAllahu, sallam, is presently, currently, of facing this ummah

00:08:38 --> 00:08:43

many, many challenges and many difficult challenges

00:08:44 --> 00:08:50

internationally and locally. Internationally in Syria, in

00:08:50 --> 00:08:54

Palestine, in Afghanistan, and so many places in Egypt

00:08:55 --> 00:08:56

and locally,

00:08:58 --> 00:08:59

our young people,

00:09:00 --> 00:09:05

every almost every second young man or young woman are involved in

00:09:05 --> 00:09:05

drugs.

00:09:08 --> 00:09:13

I'll be our young people don't come to the masjid. Illa, Mahim,

00:09:13 --> 00:09:14

Allah, except for a few

00:09:17 --> 00:09:19

and so many, so many other problems.

00:09:21 --> 00:09:26

Wa Ida, Kanal, Amr qadali, dalik, Tamada unto Elon. So if that is a

00:09:26 --> 00:09:30

situation of this great Ummah, what are we going to do?

00:09:32 --> 00:09:35

We had a visitor from Turkey. From Turkey, a woman.

00:09:37 --> 00:09:40

Her name is Na Alan. Remember this name

00:09:42 --> 00:09:46

before I come to the point, Sister Na Alan. She was under Mavi

00:09:46 --> 00:09:51

Marmara, the Freedom Flotilla that went from Turkey to the Gaza.

00:09:54 --> 00:09:59

I heard for the first time. Maybe it slipped me, but I heard for the

00:09:59 --> 00:09:59

first time some of the.

00:10:00 --> 00:10:04

Relations, when the Israelis interrogated them in so called

00:10:04 --> 00:10:07

Israel, they asked

00:10:08 --> 00:10:14

Who were these muscle man, men with white tops and white scarves.

00:10:14 --> 00:10:19

Sister Na Allah said, the Arabs that were with they have put them

00:10:19 --> 00:10:23

in the bottom of the of the Freedom Flotilla not to expose him

00:10:23 --> 00:10:27

to the countries. They asked Who were those muscle men? And

00:10:28 --> 00:10:31

there's no other answer. It was Malaika that Allah send them at

00:10:31 --> 00:10:35

Muslim. The point I want to come is Sister Na. Allah says, I've got

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37

one daughter. She's seven years old,

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40

but I am worried

00:10:41 --> 00:10:45

what Allah is going to ask me the day of qiyama, you're only worried

00:10:45 --> 00:10:50

about your daughter. What did you do for the children of the world,

00:10:50 --> 00:10:56

for those 1000s and 1000 children that no food, that had no shelter,

00:10:57 --> 00:11:01

what did you do for them? This is the sister nahalah and saying to

00:11:01 --> 00:11:05

us, this is our understanding of what this ummah is all about.

00:11:06 --> 00:11:09

That's why Jamaat Muslim. I want to remind you of the following

00:11:09 --> 00:11:10

Hadith, and

00:11:11 --> 00:11:12

this is a very important Hadith,

00:11:14 --> 00:11:18

Rasulullah says, Let azul kadama, abdinhaus, Allah and Arba,

00:11:20 --> 00:11:24

you won't be able to move your feet on the Day of Qiyamah, when

00:11:24 --> 00:11:27

you can stand and appear in front of Allah, unless you can to

00:11:27 --> 00:11:32

respond to four questions. You are going to be asked me, and you are

00:11:32 --> 00:11:38

going to be asked four questions. The first one an umbrihi, mafna,

00:11:38 --> 00:11:43

your lifespan, your time, what did you do with your life in this

00:11:43 --> 00:11:43

world?

00:11:45 --> 00:11:46

What was your contribution?

00:11:49 --> 00:11:50

The second question,

00:11:51 --> 00:11:56

and this, mihi, what did you do with your body? What did you do

00:11:56 --> 00:11:58

with this body that Allah has given you?

00:11:59 --> 00:12:03

The third question, Anna elmihi Your knowledge. What did you do

00:12:03 --> 00:12:04

with your knowledge?

00:12:06 --> 00:12:10

It doesn't only mean Java. Must mean religious knowledge.

00:12:11 --> 00:12:15

You can be a plumber, you can be a dress maker, you can be a

00:12:15 --> 00:12:19

carpenter, you can be an engineer, and you can benefit so many, so

00:12:19 --> 00:12:23

many 1000s of people with your knowledge. The fourth question and

00:12:23 --> 00:12:27

malihi Allah is going to ask you about your your your wealth, your

00:12:27 --> 00:12:32

money, how did you earn your money and how did you spend your money?

00:12:32 --> 00:12:35

Says the NABI Muhammad sallam. Now, when I come to this hadith

00:12:35 --> 00:12:40

out of love and concern, I always say to my beloved brothers and

00:12:40 --> 00:12:41

sisters, the smokers

00:12:42 --> 00:12:46

that you are going to be asked the day of qiyama, why did you spend

00:12:47 --> 00:12:47

100,000

00:12:48 --> 00:12:51

ran on smoking cigarettes?

00:12:53 --> 00:12:55

So I'm saying to my dear brothers and sisters,

00:12:56 --> 00:12:59

I might not have the opportunity again, because I don't know how

00:12:59 --> 00:13:03

long Allah is going to spare me. Allah's granted my mother and my

00:13:03 --> 00:13:08

father, eight children, my younger sister, she is gone. She wasn't

00:13:08 --> 00:13:13

sick. She had no ailments. She is gone. So I want to make use of the

00:13:13 --> 00:13:17

opportunity to tell you my beloved brothers and sisters quit smoking

00:13:17 --> 00:13:20

for the sake of Allah. Subhanho wa taala, because you are going to be

00:13:20 --> 00:13:21

questioned.

00:13:22 --> 00:13:27

You know, I always remember my Ustaz from Egypt, Shahab to Hamid

00:13:27 --> 00:13:30

Kish. I consider him to be my Ustaz because I've learned so

00:13:30 --> 00:13:31

much, and I haven't seen him.

00:13:32 --> 00:13:38

He said, One day on the Gazette, on the lecture, a professor, 60

00:13:38 --> 00:13:45

years ago found out that smoking causes, causes. 200 diseases. 200

00:13:45 --> 00:13:52

diseases. The de luxteone is lung cancer. De luxteone tree on it,

00:13:52 --> 00:13:55

but he says there are two benefits in smoking. The first benefit is

00:13:55 --> 00:13:59

the dogs will never come near to you, because dogs don't like smoke

00:13:59 --> 00:14:03

and and fire. The second benefit is the burgunders will never break

00:14:03 --> 00:14:06

into your house, because when they come to your house to come and

00:14:06 --> 00:14:09

break in and they listen at your window, they will hear

00:14:11 --> 00:14:14

and they will run away. That's the only benefits of smoking.

00:14:14 --> 00:14:19

Otherwise, no benefits must mean again, on a serious note, don't

00:14:19 --> 00:14:23

wait for the doctor to tell you Buddha or Titi, if you don't smoke

00:14:23 --> 00:14:27

or stop smoking now two weeks and you will die, then the Buddha

00:14:27 --> 00:14:32

stops. No, stop, for the sake of Allah, for the pleas of

00:14:35 --> 00:14:36

Allah,

00:14:37 --> 00:14:43

must mean just for a moment, try to imagine that we are in

00:14:43 --> 00:14:45

medinawa, Ibu

00:14:46 --> 00:14:50

na ilabeti, Rasulillah, and we are going to the house of our beloved,

00:14:50 --> 00:14:55

Nabi, Muhammad, wakul Bab, and we knock on the door of Rasulullah,

00:14:55 --> 00:14:59

Salah, and Rasulullah opens the door and greet us and welcome.

00:15:00 --> 00:15:05

US, Allah. And then the NABI Muhammad guided us to his small,

00:15:05 --> 00:15:08

little room, and he says to us,

00:15:09 --> 00:15:15

hayunas, unfamiliness, the best of all people are those who are the

00:15:15 --> 00:15:19

best to other people. Rasulullah saying to us,

00:15:21 --> 00:15:26

hayunas, unfamiliar. Nurse. The best of creation, the best of

00:15:26 --> 00:15:29

Allah's creation, are those who are the most beneficial to the

00:15:29 --> 00:15:34

creation of Allah. And then the rabbi Muhammad says to us in nahab

00:15:34 --> 00:15:41

al ibad ansa, the most beloved of Allah's slaves and worshippers are

00:15:41 --> 00:15:46

those who are the most beneficial to others. Wahala, Amali, Allah

00:15:46 --> 00:15:52

and the most beloved deed in the eyes of Allah. Sururu, Alan nurse,

00:15:53 --> 00:15:56

is when you bring happiness and a smile to other people. Allah,

00:15:56 --> 00:15:57

Akbar, and

00:15:58 --> 00:16:01

then the NABI Muhammad said to us, in conclusion,

00:16:02 --> 00:16:08

Rasulullah says to us, la an am Shia ma Akhi al Muslim, the

00:16:08 --> 00:16:13

akdiyah hajatahu for me to go with my Muslim brother to see to his

00:16:13 --> 00:16:21

need is better than 30 days in the masjid of Rasulullah. That 30 days

00:16:21 --> 00:16:23

for you, what do you do for others? Am I supposed

00:16:24 --> 00:16:26

to mean the yardstick

00:16:28 --> 00:16:32

and the criterion to be a good Muslim and a better Muslim? It's

00:16:32 --> 00:16:36

not the your Salah and your reading of the Quran and your

00:16:36 --> 00:16:42

fasting and your sadaqah, but the yachts to get the criterion to

00:16:42 --> 00:16:45

appear better Muslim is, what difference Have you made in this

00:16:45 --> 00:16:46

community

00:16:50 --> 00:16:51

as

00:16:52 --> 00:16:55

alokumbillah and tas maholi and Akula,

00:16:56 --> 00:17:00

my beloved ones, I ask you, in the name of Allah, to allow me to say

00:17:00 --> 00:17:07

the following, Allah muslimina and yastah Kiru mean no milha, it is

00:17:07 --> 00:17:12

necessary for the muslimeen to wake up, to wake up from the

00:17:12 --> 00:17:17

heedlessness that state of unconcerned about others. Just

00:17:17 --> 00:17:23

imagine how selfish it is that you only look after you yourself and

00:17:23 --> 00:17:25

your wife and your children, and you don't care less about others.

00:17:26 --> 00:17:30

I'm reminding you my dear brothers and sisters, according to our

00:17:30 --> 00:17:33

beloved Nabi Muhammad Ali, said to Islam, the greatest leader, the

00:17:33 --> 00:17:38

sophist heart, the person with the greatest character. He says,

00:17:38 --> 00:17:41

Salawat, if you don't care for other Muslims and for other

00:17:41 --> 00:17:44

people. You are not considered to be part of the Ummah, siddhina

00:17:44 --> 00:17:46

Muhammad in SallAllahu, sallam.

00:17:49 --> 00:17:50

So what must mean? I

00:17:52 --> 00:17:55

want to say to you today, there is even a greater concern. And

00:17:58 --> 00:18:01

the concern is, first of all, I want to say to you,

00:18:03 --> 00:18:04

we are of

00:18:05 --> 00:18:10

the few Muslims in the world, in this country that enjoy the best

00:18:10 --> 00:18:11

of freedom of religion.

00:18:12 --> 00:18:13

Alhamdulillah, you

00:18:14 --> 00:18:19

know, Shaykh is my Lord. Told me two days ago, a person came from

00:18:19 --> 00:18:20

Makkah to the masjid

00:18:21 --> 00:18:26

in Bucha in dor Street. And this person of Makkah says,

00:18:28 --> 00:18:33

I think the most fortunate and the most vibrant Muslims in the world

00:18:33 --> 00:18:34

are the Muslims on Cape Town.

00:18:36 --> 00:18:40

He says, You can see the Brotherhood. You can see the love,

00:18:40 --> 00:18:41

the love for Deen

00:18:43 --> 00:18:47

Allah, the fear is a must mean, if we are not going to rise to the

00:18:47 --> 00:18:52

occasion, may Allah protect then Allah might just take this away.

00:18:53 --> 00:18:57

The question is, what are we doing? How are we going to save

00:18:57 --> 00:18:58

these young people?

00:18:59 --> 00:19:04

You know, currently in Cape Town there are 1000s and 1000s of young

00:19:04 --> 00:19:05

children, 234,

00:19:06 --> 00:19:10

innocent children. I'm saying to you today, Jamal must mean, if we

00:19:10 --> 00:19:13

are not going to do something, most of these children are just

00:19:13 --> 00:19:18

going to become drug addicts. But just imagine, you get involved and

00:19:18 --> 00:19:22

you with a cause, had one child instead of becoming a gangster or

00:19:22 --> 00:19:27

a drug addict, he became a decent Muslim, he became a leader. Then

00:19:27 --> 00:19:31

you've contributed, and that is why I want to remind you of the

00:19:31 --> 00:19:32

following ayah

00:19:34 --> 00:19:37

Allah says to us, WA Tara

00:19:40 --> 00:19:49

YOP assist, contribute to attain goodness, honor, dignity,

00:19:50 --> 00:19:56

integrity, morality, kindness and piety. Allah saying to all of us,

00:19:56 --> 00:19:59

I just want to remind you, this ayah is not for some.

00:20:00 --> 00:20:06

There in Saudi Arabia, or somebody there in Egypt or in Libya or in

00:20:06 --> 00:20:10

Tunis. This ayah is meant for each one of us.

00:20:11 --> 00:20:19

Wata awanu albiri, watakwa, help and contribute to attain goodness,

00:20:19 --> 00:20:26

morality, integrity. Piety. Wala ta awanu Alan, if me will order

00:20:26 --> 00:20:30

one and do not know when it comes to wrongdoings and do not ya. The

00:20:30 --> 00:20:34

Allah says when it comes to animosity, keep this ummah

00:20:34 --> 00:20:38

together. Keep this community together. Don't encourage this for

00:20:38 --> 00:20:41

your brother or your sister or the musali with you not to speak to

00:20:41 --> 00:20:45

the other musali. No, rather encourage him to reconcile. Now,

00:20:46 --> 00:20:49

what Muslim mean? I want, I just want to say that

00:20:50 --> 00:20:53

one of, one of, one of the things that currently cause a lot of

00:20:54 --> 00:20:59

animosity amongst the Muslim ummah is the fact that we don't have

00:20:59 --> 00:21:00

respect for the views of others.

00:21:02 --> 00:21:07

We came to believe that the group, or the Jama that I belong to, is

00:21:07 --> 00:21:11

the only correct Jama on the straight path, and the only group

00:21:11 --> 00:21:16

that will go to Jannah or the other Muslim you will go to

00:21:16 --> 00:21:22

jahannam. Our job is not to judge. Our job is wanu ibad Allah, live

00:21:23 --> 00:21:25

together as brothers, true brothers, says

00:21:27 --> 00:21:30

Abu lavid, Dabi, Muhammad, Salla, salam, su jamat, Musa, mean,

00:21:32 --> 00:21:36

if your brother keeps mowed, or he don't keep mowed, he's still your

00:21:36 --> 00:21:40

brother. When he keeps la barang with Ma or the sighting of the

00:21:40 --> 00:21:44

moon. He's your brother. It's different since the time of our

00:21:44 --> 00:21:47

beloved Nabi Muhammad, sallAllahu, wasallam two Sahaba, they won't

00:21:47 --> 00:21:52

travel, and they couldn't find water. They were looking and

00:21:52 --> 00:21:54

looking and seeking for water. They couldn't find the water. And

00:21:54 --> 00:21:59

then they decided to take tayam to make salah. Says, Before the exit

00:21:59 --> 00:22:01

of the rock, they found water, and the one said, Alhamdulillah, we

00:22:01 --> 00:22:04

found the water. We must take udu and makes Allah again. The other

00:22:04 --> 00:22:07

one said, no, no, no, no, no. We finished. We finished.

00:22:08 --> 00:22:13

They did it. When they came back to Madinah and told rasulallah

00:22:13 --> 00:22:17

Muhammad said, You the one that has made extra salah, Allah has

00:22:17 --> 00:22:20

given you double, double rewards, but the one that didn't repeat the

00:22:20 --> 00:22:22

Salah, he is on the Haqq,

00:22:23 --> 00:22:26

but they were still brothers. They did not fight. So there will

00:22:26 --> 00:22:30

always be differences about Muslim I'm appealing again today. Let us

00:22:30 --> 00:22:37

be those people that contribute to morality, integrity, unity,

00:22:37 --> 00:22:42

brotherhood, and not be the cause of animosity amongst Muslim mean.

00:22:42 --> 00:22:42

Now,

00:22:43 --> 00:22:44

what must mean?

00:22:46 --> 00:22:50

Allah subhana wa Taala says in the Quran whether kirfa in the vikara,

00:22:50 --> 00:22:51

tanfa on mumin,

00:22:53 --> 00:22:58

mahalo to Jinnah will insert in LA dia Abu Dun, Allah says, remind

00:22:58 --> 00:23:01

one another, because by reminding one another, is a great benefit

00:23:01 --> 00:23:05

for the believers. And after Allah says to us, remind one another,

00:23:05 --> 00:23:10

Allah gives us reminder, wama, khalaqul, Jinnah, will insul, I

00:23:10 --> 00:23:14

haven't created jinn, nor human beings only for one purpose, and

00:23:14 --> 00:23:15

that is to serve Allah.

00:23:16 --> 00:23:18

All of us, we were created to serve Allah.

00:23:19 --> 00:23:27

And Allah says in another, ayah, Allah, akum ayukum Asmaa. Allah is

00:23:27 --> 00:23:33

created death and life for to teach you Who of you are going to

00:23:33 --> 00:23:38

be the best in deeds we've heard earlier, the best of all people,

00:23:38 --> 00:23:41

of those who are the most beneficial to others say, Oh,

00:23:41 --> 00:23:43

beloved Nabi Muhammad, sallAllahu, sallam.

00:23:45 --> 00:23:46

Now what must mean?

00:23:48 --> 00:23:52

I just want to I know my time is limited, but I just want to say to

00:23:52 --> 00:23:52

you,

00:23:53 --> 00:23:58

it is not too late to make a difference in this world. Are you

00:23:58 --> 00:24:02

not too old to make a difference in this world. In fact, last year

00:24:02 --> 00:24:07

I was I found myself in the main road in Brooklyn. Then I saw old

00:24:07 --> 00:24:12

people of 75 years and eight years old with the bags and the Bible.

00:24:13 --> 00:24:15

And they are walking the streets of Brooklyn.

00:24:17 --> 00:24:21

They are walking the streets of Brooklyn to spread the shirk. We

00:24:21 --> 00:24:24

are the muslimeen to spread the Haqq and the Nur. And I

00:24:25 --> 00:24:29

want to remind myself and my honorable brothers and sisters,

00:24:29 --> 00:24:33

your duty is not to force a person to become Muslim. There's no force

00:24:33 --> 00:24:37

in Islam. Your job is wamalai, Kaila bala, You just deliver the

00:24:37 --> 00:24:42

message that's all the rest you live in the hands of Allah.

00:24:45 --> 00:24:46

Aba

00:24:48 --> 00:24:50

Tubu, Illallah was tafiru,

00:24:51 --> 00:24:56

my dear beloved ones make tawbah to Allah, repent to Allah and ask

00:24:56 --> 00:24:59

Allah for forgiveness for all our shortcomings, for ina rasa.

00:25:01 --> 00:25:06

Wahabi bakum Ali said to Islam, Taal atta, Ibu Min dambi, Kamala

00:25:06 --> 00:25:11

dambala, a person that returns from his wrongdoings and his evil

00:25:11 --> 00:25:16

doings by Allah, it is as if he has done nothing wrong in the past

00:25:17 --> 00:25:21

and a beloved Abu Muhammad says, kun lubini, Adam Khata un waka in

00:25:21 --> 00:25:25

the tawabun, each and every child of Nabi Adam makes mistakes and

00:25:25 --> 00:25:28

wrongdoings, but the best of them are those who return to Allah

00:25:28 --> 00:25:28

subhanho. WA

00:25:29 --> 00:25:31

must mean, I want to remind you

00:25:33 --> 00:25:35

that there are so many Muslims

00:25:36 --> 00:25:39

that are neglectful with the Salah, and that is one of the

00:25:39 --> 00:25:42

kabay that is one of the major sins.

00:25:43 --> 00:25:47

So my dear brother and my dear sister, if you you are here today

00:25:47 --> 00:25:51

and you are still neglectful in a Salah, I ask you, in the name of

00:25:51 --> 00:25:54

Allah subhanahu wa, to make that decision that from today onwards,

00:25:54 --> 00:25:57

you're not going to miss one salah. Because I want to say to

00:25:57 --> 00:26:01

you, and I want to remind you that our beloved Nabi Muhammad says,

00:26:01 --> 00:26:04

Man lucky Allah, Allahu, Ali, Salah, Lam ya ABA, Illa will be

00:26:04 --> 00:26:08

Shaykh. I mean Hassan ATI, any person that leaves this world

00:26:08 --> 00:26:12

while he or she was neglected with the Salah, Allah, stop increasing

00:26:12 --> 00:26:15

all your other good deeds. You could have gone for Hajj every

00:26:15 --> 00:26:19

year. You could have gone gone for Umrah every month. You could have

00:26:19 --> 00:26:22

given millions to the poor every day, but because of your

00:26:22 --> 00:26:25

negligence of the Salah, Allah, don't want to see you. Allah,

00:26:25 --> 00:26:28

don't want to speak to you, says Rasulullah, the Malay come, will

00:26:28 --> 00:26:31

come and speak to you and tell you, these people are going to

00:26:31 --> 00:26:34

Jannah, but you, your place is there were the kufar, and with the

00:26:34 --> 00:26:40

words of kufar their own Haman, Ubay, Beni Khalif, very serious.

00:26:40 --> 00:26:43

Ahmadine. So if you are here and you are still neglectful on the

00:26:43 --> 00:26:46

Salah, I want you to thank Allah that you are here today. So did

00:26:46 --> 00:26:50

you have been reminded? Did you make that important decision that

00:26:50 --> 00:26:53

from the day onwards, you're not going to miss one salah? You know,

00:26:53 --> 00:26:56

last year we had the janaz and mitzelsplain and after the Janaza,

00:26:56 --> 00:27:00

I said a few words, because my beloved mother, may Allah grant

00:27:00 --> 00:27:03

her, and all our mothers and fathers Jannatul fill those. She

00:27:03 --> 00:27:07

always told me, my son, if there's a janazah, just say a few words.

00:27:07 --> 00:27:10

Look at the barakah of my the advice of my mother. So I spoke

00:27:10 --> 00:27:14

about this hadith, and after the salatul janazah, a person came to

00:27:14 --> 00:27:18

me. Said to me, Sheik, I just want to say to you shukran for these

00:27:18 --> 00:27:20

words, because I am one of those people that are neglectful with

00:27:20 --> 00:27:24

the Salah, but I was not walking behind the janazah. And I said to

00:27:24 --> 00:27:29

myself, Rashid, what? What if you have been that janazah, what would

00:27:29 --> 00:27:32

your condition instead have been by Allah The Day of Qiyamah? And

00:27:32 --> 00:27:36

he said to me, Sheik, so that's why I've made the decision from

00:27:36 --> 00:27:38

today onwards, I'm not going to miss one salah,

00:27:39 --> 00:27:43

Allahu. Akbar. The reason why I'm saying Allahu Akbar, Mawlana,

00:27:43 --> 00:27:47

iStan fortune was imam of that Masjid. He said to me, six months

00:27:47 --> 00:27:51

after the sheik, I just want to say to you that gutarashid, since

00:27:51 --> 00:27:55

that day is Fajr, doer, Asr, Mahisha, every day in a masjid,

00:27:55 --> 00:27:55

I'm

00:27:57 --> 00:28:01

not finished with the salah. I want to remind you Allah says for

00:28:01 --> 00:28:07

wailu lil musalinam and salatim sahun, a certain valley in the

00:28:07 --> 00:28:10

fire of Jahannam woah say, Allah. Listen to what Allah says. Lil

00:28:10 --> 00:28:14

musalline, for those people who make salah, but how does he make

00:28:14 --> 00:28:17

salah? Aladinam and Salah team, but they are neglectful with the

00:28:17 --> 00:28:21

salah. You know what? What? Nick listens Allah speak here they make

00:28:21 --> 00:28:27

five times salah, but they make Doer after as time, those people

00:28:27 --> 00:28:30

who make fire five Salah out of time, Allah has prepared for them

00:28:30 --> 00:28:33

a valley in the fire of jahannam. What about those people who don't

00:28:33 --> 00:28:38

even make Salah in Ali lahi wa in ala Raju on Jamaat was mean.

00:28:39 --> 00:28:43

Allow me just another three or four minutes. You know this hadith

00:28:43 --> 00:28:47

that I've read now, kulini, Adam khattun. Each and every child will

00:28:47 --> 00:28:50

be Adam makes mistakes, but the best of them are those who return

00:28:50 --> 00:28:54

to Allah. I've been saying this for 25 years in the Majid where I

00:28:54 --> 00:28:57

am now, just recently, I've added another Hadith to conclude every

00:28:57 --> 00:29:01

Juma. And this is a special Hadith. This is a gift from

00:29:01 --> 00:29:05

Rasulullah sallam. Listen, listen, may my dear brothers and sisters,

00:29:05 --> 00:29:07

this is a guarantee to the Jannah.

00:29:09 --> 00:29:13

It manuli, sit and atman nakumu, Janata si rasulallah, guarantee

00:29:13 --> 00:29:16

for me, Sikhs and I will guarantee you the Jannah. Oh, fu Ida, aha,

00:29:16 --> 00:29:21

tum, if you made a promise, carry out your promise. USD, whenever

00:29:21 --> 00:29:25

you speak, speak the truth guarantee. For me, you can speak

00:29:25 --> 00:29:28

the truth that will be part of your guarantee to the Jannah. The

00:29:28 --> 00:29:31

third one, Rasulullah says, carry out your Amarna, your

00:29:31 --> 00:29:35

responsibilities. For example, my dear brothers, looking after your

00:29:35 --> 00:29:39

wife is a Amarna. Look after your mana guarantee. For me, I will

00:29:39 --> 00:29:43

guarantee the Jannah. Listen to the fourth one, hafidu Furu jakun,

00:29:43 --> 00:29:46

protect your private parts as Rasulullah, then I will guarantee

00:29:46 --> 00:29:52

you the Jannah, the Mahatma. We live in a time that people have

00:29:52 --> 00:29:54

got no honor and respect for their dignity and their honor.

00:29:56 --> 00:29:58

Allah says in the Quran, one of the reasons why people will enter

00:29:58 --> 00:29:59

Jannah will levy.

00:30:00 --> 00:30:03

Only furujim havidun are those people who have preserved their

00:30:03 --> 00:30:04

private parts.

00:30:06 --> 00:30:09

I was at the MGC for many years on a Thursday morning,

00:30:11 --> 00:30:16

and women coming every day to MGC for a Talaq or a

00:30:17 --> 00:30:21

and 60 to 70% of the reason why they want to get out is because

00:30:21 --> 00:30:25

their husbands are sleeping around. We're not talking about

00:30:25 --> 00:30:29

not Muslim as we're talking about Muslims. May Allah protect the

00:30:29 --> 00:30:29

Java Muslim.

00:30:31 --> 00:30:32

Half you do furujakum.

00:30:33 --> 00:30:37

You know, I always say to young people, and it's important always

00:30:37 --> 00:30:41

to remind them and encourage them how wonderful it is for a young

00:30:41 --> 00:30:44

man the day he got married, tonight will be the first time

00:30:44 --> 00:30:46

that he's going to sleep with a woman love.

00:30:47 --> 00:30:51

And these are the things that we need to discuss with our sons and

00:30:51 --> 00:30:53

our daughters and our nephews and our nieces as

00:30:55 --> 00:30:59

part of your contribution. And how great is it for this young man

00:31:00 --> 00:31:03

that night when he stepped with his wife, until Allah took him

00:31:03 --> 00:31:06

away from this world. You have never put his private parts in a

00:31:06 --> 00:31:09

woman that is haram, and him, my brother, I'm saying to you,

00:31:09 --> 00:31:10

deserve to go to Jannah.

00:31:11 --> 00:31:15

The fifth one Rasulullah says, guarantee for me, you're going to

00:31:15 --> 00:31:20

lower your gaze. You're going to lower your gaze. I always say to

00:31:20 --> 00:31:24

men that some men are looking at women in the street as if they are

00:31:24 --> 00:31:26

looking at the Wimbledon tennis match. They

00:31:27 --> 00:31:31

want us to look at all the women. No, you must lower your gaze to

00:31:31 --> 00:31:35

Muslim men. What is even more serious of looking at women the

00:31:35 --> 00:31:40

streets is the * that is available, the dirty *.

00:31:40 --> 00:31:43

And there are so many Muslims that are looking at *. Now

00:31:43 --> 00:31:46

what must mean? I'm saying again to you, my dear brother and my

00:31:46 --> 00:31:49

dear sister, if you are one of those people that look at

00:31:49 --> 00:31:52

*, saying Allah that you are here so that you can make

00:31:52 --> 00:31:56

tawba to Allah, just imagine Allah has taken your way and you in that

00:31:56 --> 00:32:00

state of looking at *. La Hawla, wala, kuwata, Illa,

00:32:00 --> 00:32:04

Bilal, dim and Jamaat al Muslim in the sad part of it is it is so

00:32:04 --> 00:32:08

easily available and accessible even on the cell phones.

00:32:10 --> 00:32:12

May Allah forgive us for our shortcomings.

00:32:13 --> 00:32:16

Guarantee for me, you going to lower your gaze. I will get into

00:32:16 --> 00:32:19

the Jannah. And lastly, the Nabih Muhammad says, guarantee for me,

00:32:19 --> 00:32:23

you're going to keep your family together. How do you keep your

00:32:23 --> 00:32:27

family together? You keep your family together to give the same

00:32:27 --> 00:32:29

judgment on your family

00:32:30 --> 00:32:34

about yourself, you know that you're not perfect. You know that

00:32:34 --> 00:32:37

you've got a lot of mistakes and shortcomings. Now, likewise, your

00:32:37 --> 00:32:40

brother and your sister and your uncle and your cousins and your

00:32:40 --> 00:32:43

whole family. They are also human beings. They're not perfect.

00:32:45 --> 00:32:49

Can you imagine? They are brothers in this world, own brothers from

00:32:49 --> 00:32:53

one mother, one Father. They don't talk for they don't talk to one

00:32:53 --> 00:32:56

another. For years, this one brother said to his wife when he

00:32:56 --> 00:33:00

became sick, if my brother come to visit me, you don't allow Him to

00:33:00 --> 00:33:03

come into the house and the day I die, you don't align with the

00:33:03 --> 00:33:05

janazah stuff.

00:33:06 --> 00:33:10

Rasulullah says you guarantee for me you're going to overlook the

00:33:10 --> 00:33:14

shortcomings of your family and keep your family together. And I

00:33:14 --> 00:33:18

will guarantee you the genesis of beloved Nabi Muhammad risu to an

00:33:18 --> 00:33:22

regime. Yeah, I will live in Taku laha will nafsuma.

00:33:26 --> 00:33:30

Oh, you believe fear Allah. Be conscious of Allah. Now, what must

00:33:30 --> 00:33:34

mean? Make more time for the Quran. Alam Yani, la Dina, Aman or

00:33:34 --> 00:33:37

Tasha, kulum li Vikki, Allah, hasn't the time arrived for the

00:33:37 --> 00:33:41

believers to connect their hearts with the Quran, not only your

00:33:41 --> 00:33:44

tongues, not only reading the Quran, connect your hearts with

00:33:44 --> 00:33:49

the Quran. Quran, don't people have make time to ponder and

00:33:49 --> 00:33:52

contemplate with the words of Allah. We must respond. You must

00:33:52 --> 00:33:55

say, Allah, we haven't got time. We've been neglect. We have got

00:33:55 --> 00:33:58

more time for Manchester United and for Arsenal. If Manchester

00:33:58 --> 00:34:02

United lose or Arsenal lose, then we are angry, Allah, but we're not

00:34:02 --> 00:34:05

angry. We haven't read the Quran for the whole month of the whole

00:34:05 --> 00:34:06

year, or for two years.

00:34:08 --> 00:34:11

So be count Allah says, Oh, you believe. Be conscious of Allah,

00:34:11 --> 00:34:17

fear. Allah, well tandoori, and let each and every person look

00:34:17 --> 00:34:21

into your preparations for tomorrow, not tomorrow, the eighth

00:34:21 --> 00:34:25

of February. 2014, Allah is referring to the day of qiyama for

00:34:25 --> 00:34:29

as tomorrow, Saturday, the eighth of February is near. Likewise, the

00:34:29 --> 00:34:31

Day of Qiyamah is also so near.

00:34:32 --> 00:34:37

While TANF summa *, what takula Allah says Again, fear Allah

00:34:37 --> 00:34:41

becomes of Allah. And listen to the last ayah that we're going to

00:34:41 --> 00:34:44

end and please remember it. And if you're going to remember it and

00:34:44 --> 00:34:47

practice it and implement it, you're on your way to the Jannah

00:34:47 --> 00:34:54

in allahabir. Indeed, certainly Allah is well informed and well

00:34:54 --> 00:34:59

acquainted with whatever you do. If you remember this ayah, you're

00:34:59 --> 00:34:59

on your way to the Jannah.

00:35:00 --> 00:35:04

Because a true believer, you don't want to do wrong or say anything

00:35:04 --> 00:35:08

wrong, because Allah is well informed and well acquainted with

00:35:08 --> 00:35:12

whatever we do. Muslim May Allah subhanaw grant that the rest of

00:35:12 --> 00:35:16

our lives is going to be the best of our lives. And the theme of the

00:35:16 --> 00:35:21

khutbah today was, Get involved. Get involved in the community, you

00:35:21 --> 00:35:26

know, I mean to say, for example, you know, I look at some of our

00:35:26 --> 00:35:29

young girls coming to high school for the first time, and I said to

00:35:29 --> 00:35:33

myself, these young girls are so innocent, but they are going into

00:35:33 --> 00:35:39

this dangerous place, free mixing. So I said to myself, just imagine,

00:35:39 --> 00:35:44

for example, here in Weinberg, the Darwin are in girls school. If all

00:35:44 --> 00:35:46

of us in Weinberg and the surrounding areas involve

00:35:46 --> 00:35:50

ourselves, and we make this school one of the most successful and the

00:35:50 --> 00:35:55

biggest schools in Cape Town, why to save our girls now, what Muslim

00:35:55 --> 00:35:59

mean? I don't want to go into detail, but we had so many reports

00:35:59 --> 00:36:02

of the government schools that most of the girls are sexually

00:36:03 --> 00:36:07

active. There's no time to go into details. They lose their honor and

00:36:07 --> 00:36:11

their dignity at a young age. What are we doing? So I'm saying again,

00:36:11 --> 00:36:15

Jamaat al muslimin na as in the Name of Allah, subhana wa taala,

00:36:16 --> 00:36:20

whatever time Allah has given us and whatever time is left, let us

00:36:20 --> 00:36:25

get involved to uplift the Ummah and humanity. It Lord Muhammad

00:36:25 --> 00:36:26

Alhamdulillah.
