Alhamdulillah, Rabbi lahalaminosalatus, Salah Mahala
ashrafil Mursaleen say Dina Wahab, wahabina, Muhammad, sallAllahu,
Sadi wa Yasir, Lee Amri, wahlum, milisani of kaukauli, Allahu,
alasi torfata in in Wala. Akal nalik,
my beloved mothers and fathers and beloved sisters and brothers and
honorable youth,
and our Honorable President of the United ulama Council of South
Africa and first deputy president of the MCC the honorable molab
buchalik.
I greet you all with the universal greetings of love and peace and
mercy. Assalamu. Alaikum. Warahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
We thank Allah for all the favors that Allah has bestowed upon us,
and we thank Allah for granting us again the honor and the privilege
to be in the Jumuah. And
we thank Allah for the greatest favor, and that is that Allah has
selected us to be part of the ummah of la ilaha, illallah,
Muhammad, rasulallah. We are not believers. We are not Muslims. By
luck or by chance.
Allah says He, Allah has chosen you, he has selected you
to be part of the ummah of la ilaha, illallah, Muhammad,
rasulallah. So we can't thank Allah enough,
and we bear testimony that no one has got the right to be worshiped
except Allah alone,
and we also be testimony that our beloved Nabi Muhammad Sallallahu
Sallam is the final and the greatest message of Allah Al
qawil, the one that said
mansallah Alaya salatan SallAllahu, Biha salallah Ali Biha
ashram.
Just imagine the NABI Muhammad said to us, if you make time
just to put one Salah under Rasulillah, then Allah makes time
to put 10 Salah word from Allah on you. And if you make time to put
100 Salah word under Rasul Illah, then Allah makes time. Can you
imagine? Can you believe it? Then Allah makes time to put 1000
Salawat, 1000 mercy from Allah on you.
We are the most blessed people in the world, subhanAllah, so how
fortunate are those Muslims who make time to put salawat and
Allah's most beloved, our beloved, Nabi Muhammad Ali said to Muslim,
so be of those fortunate people, the most fortunate people, and you
will be the most fortunate also that they've Kiyama, because you
will be called right to the front according to Rasulillah, so that
you can enter the Jannah with with the shafa of Rasulillah, because
you were one of those Muslims who have put the most Salah word On
the Rasulillah, sallAllahu, sallam. So once again, join us in
putting Salawat on. Rasulullah Ali said, waslam, and we know the
Malaika are ready to take our Salawat from here, from Portland's
Cape Town, right to Medina, to Munawwara, and those Malaika will
present it, our Salawat to the NABI Muhammad Ali said To uslam
Allah

our beloved Nabi Muhammad. Listen to Salam and an all the brothers
of Rasulillah, of the Ambien bur Salim and all their families and
friends, wahitami, Wakita maku, mahitam al muslimin. And we also
ask Allah in this Holy Hour of Juma.

every Muslim in the world the most beautiful ending and may Allah
raise us the Day of Qiyamah under the banner of our beloved Nabi

Subah, Abadi, la Ilam min al masjid, Dil Harami, Lal masjidil,
al
Masjid Al Harami. Il masjidil, Akon salavi, baratna, haulin Nuria
hum in ya this is the month of rajap,
And
this is the
month in which our beloved Nabi Muhammad Ali said to Islam, went
on this amazing and miraculous journey of the Isra And the miara.
This is the time, and this is the month to speak and highlight the
issue of Majid Al Aqsa,
the first Qibla of the Muslim ummah.
And one of the questions that we need to ask, Why did Allah make
Majid Al Aqsa the first Qibla for the Muslim ummah?
Rasulullah Ali said Muslim lived in Makkah, but the NABI Muhammad
had to make Salah in the direction of Majd Al Aqsa,
and for one year, and about five or six months in Madina till
munara, the NABI Muhammad and the muslimeen had to make Salah in the
direction of Majd Aqsa,
and then the Qibla was changed. But why first? Majli Aksa, you
know? What is the answer? So that the Muslim ummah must never, ever
forget Masjid Al Aqsa.
So let it be known to the whole world that it is the duty
and responsibility
of us as Muslims to defend our holy places. And Majid Al Aqsa is
the third holiest masjid for all Muslims. First Majid al Harami
Makkah, and then the Masjid nabubi Medina, and then Masjid Al Aqsa in
Jerusalem.
So we it is our duty to defend and protect Masjid Al Aqsa, Masjid Al
haram, Masjid nabui, each and every masjid,
we can proudly say as Muslims
that we, the Muslim ummah, have protected the churches in
Jerusalem,
including the holiest church for all Christians, because when our
leader said, Naomi, went to Jerusalem
and he wanted to make salah
the Christians and the leadership of the Christians offered, said,
na Omar to make Salah in their church. And he said, No, I'm not
going to make in the church, because I've I'm going to make
Salah in the church. The Muslims that they'll come coming after me,
they would say that Omar made Salah. So we going to change the
masjid, and we don't want the church to be changed to a masjid
that is the honor and the dignity of the Muslim ummah,
the greatest leader, our
beloved Nabi Muhammad. Listen to Islam as taught and instructed the
Muslim ummah, when you are at war with others, you don't touch and
you don't harm a church or a synagogue or any religious place
that he that these are the principles.
Of the Muslim ummah,
but at the same time, we want to say to the world that we will
sacrifice and give our lives to defend our holy places, and that
is our right.
Imagine if we, as the Muslim ummah would year
that there's a plan to destroy and to demolish the majli Haram in
Makkah, ya salam,
oh the Mazda Nabu in Medina Wallahi. I swear by Allah the
Muslims right around the world, they will stand up.
They will stand up in a way,
when they tried to
degrade our beloved Nabih Muhammad, listened to Islam and
insult our beloved Nabih Muhammad, the Muslims all over the world
stood up now, likewise, if any force or any country would like to
destroy Majd haram in Makkah or majna in Madina, the same will
happen right around the world.
So now the time has come to do the very same for the third haram of
the Muslim ummah,
the only place, and let me emphasize the only place in the
world we are where Allah subhana wa gathered all the ambiya,
124,000
ambiya. Can you imagine such a gathering? The only place it
happened is in Maju haram, on
the night of Israel in Maharaj.
Imagine the cream and the best of creation, the prophets of Allah
and who led the Salah, the greatest prophet and the leader of
the prophets and the master of the prophets, our beloved, Nabi
Muhammad Ali, said to Islam,
do the world think that we as Muslims would allow any force or
any Government to destroy that Masjid?
No, my dear ones, are you aware
that there are people who have the planes plans ready to destroy and
to the demolish Majid Al Aqsa,
and they claim
that that was before the temple of Solomon
they falsely claim
now, now my my beloved brothers and sisters.
For Who are you going to believe Allah says they are saying. They
are saying. The Zionists and the Israelis are saying there's not
actually a masla aksah
Allah is saying the Quran. Subhanallah Astra be abudihi,
lahilan, Minal, mazdil, haram il masdil Aksa. It's part of the
Qur'an. It's a ayah in the Quran. It is part of our belief.
So are you going to allow these people to they'll know that that
is not the truth. Allah is not speaking the truth. Astaghafi
Allah, so they won't be able to, although they are making
agreements with so many so called Muslim countries and Arab
countries,
these are corrupt governments, but the Muslim ummah is not going to
buy into that. I am in ya rapa al Amin.
So my dear ones,
they these forces are every now and then testing the waters
and testing the response of the Muslim ummah when it comes to Maju
Aqsa.
So here from Al Masjid Al Rabia for the liberation of Mazda Aqsa,
we want to say to the Israeli Government
and the United States government that we as Muslims, we don't fear
you.
We only fear Allah,
lahola wala kuwata ilbillah,
power and strength does not belong to you, Mister Netanyahu and
Mister Biden, or whoever is the president of United States of
America, the only power and the real power belongs to Allah.
So honorable.
Dreams,
let us now hear the good news. And
the good news is that Allah has guided and inspired some of our
leadership in the world
to initiate and introduce
100 days campaign
for the people of Al Quds for the people of Al Aqsa,
and it is called Ibadan Lana, a word that Allah used in the Quran
Ibadan Lana
a campaign and a program
wherein we give our full support to the people of Al Quds,
our moral support, our spiritual support, our financial support,
and all types of support needed.
The idea is to give support to the very people who are ultimately
going to liberate Masjid Al Aqsa,
and those are the peoples.
And you have seen so many videos,
even the ladies, even the women, they are not afraid. They're not
they are not afraid. Let me say this clear. They are not afraid to
put their lives on the line in defense of Majid Al Aqsa, and
don't talk about the youth, young boys, 12 years, 1314, even
younger. They know that Allah has placed him their Allah coulds to
defend majal Aksa on behalf of each and every Muslim in this
world.
They are not free to die, and they know if they die in the process to
defend majli Al Aqsa, they will go straight to Jannah.
They will be of the Shuhada.
So what must mean?
As I've said, the idea is to give support to the very people who are
ultimately going to liberate and free Mazda aksar.
I hope that we as Muslims understand that fully.
That is the Promise of Allah. So never what. Never mind what the
Israelis are going to do and the Americans are going to do
ultimately, Masjid Aqsa will be free, because Allah says in Quran,
Wali yada, khulu, Masjid luhu, and they will enter the masjid again,
as done before.
They will enter the masjid against his Allah in Quran, and we, as
Muslims, we have been guaranteed by Allah, right at the beginning
of the Quran, that this Quran, each and every verse and each and
every word in this Quran, la rebafi, there's no doubt in the
words of Allah.
So Inshallah, after the Juma, we're going to have the official
lawns, and though nobody must go away outside the masjid for this
campaign, Ibadan Lana,
because we're going to ask each and every Muslim, not only South
Africa, but all over the world, this is the time now. The time is
now right for each and every Muslim to rise to the occasion.
And
I just want to remind the Muslims of the world, because fortunately,
we've got Facebook and social media and you can go right around
the world. I just want to give you a friendly reminder
that Allah is going to ask you the Dev qiyama, what did you do for
mazil aksah
Maslow,
aksha was in danger.
Mas aksha was under occupation, under siege. What did you do to
defend
the first Qibla of the Muslim Ummah that I've made the first
kippala. But
dear ones, I also want to remind you
of this important Hadith that you've heard before.
But all of us, including me, needs to be reminded of this hadith
every time that Rasulullah says, Malam yatam bi Amri, muslimina,
falei sa mean those who are not concerned about the affairs of the
Muslim ummah, then you are not part of this ummah. How can you
claim to be part and you're not worried about the ummah?
That's why we are called ummah. We not call individuals.
We are Ummah, global Ummah, because we are concerned for one
another. And the NABI Muhammad says the similar truth and the
example of this ummah in the feelings for one another, in the
concern for one another, in the love and compassion for one
another is like one single human body. Says Rasulullah
Alhamdulillah, for this, for this beautiful description of this
ummah, if one part of the body is in pain, the whole body suffers of
sleeplessness and fever, says Rasulullah,
what a beautiful example.
If there's some small part of body, the small little toe pains.
You can't sleep. Can you sleep?
So if there's pain anywhere in this ummah, we must be so
concerned that some of the night we can't even sleep, because we
are worried about that part of the ummah. And the most crucial issue
for the Muslim ummah today is there's a lot of issues. There's
Kashmir, there's Syria, there's Iraq, and we know, and we admit we
need to do so much in Yaman, so many places. But the most
important, the most crucial issue, is Maslow Aksa, and once Masjid Al
Aqsa is going to be resolved and be liberated. All the other
countries, inshallah will be resolved.
So my, my dear ones, I've made it a note to ask you and to advise
you,
please, please be don't be of those who are not concerned about
the affairs what is happening in Mazur Aksa
and in Palestine,
beloved ones,
one of the best ways for you and For me to yahish in Palestine
is is for you and for me to get closer to Allah, subhanaw, taala,
Allah,
and for you and me to be more obedient to Allah.
We are just a month and a half away from the month of Ramadan.
So please prepare yourselves for the month of Ramadan.
Do lots of istiqar.
Take your tasbih
and say 200 times everyday. Astaq illallah, 500 times, 1000 times,
2000 times. Just imagine you are going to accept what I'm, what I
advise now
you will be, you'll be ready for the month of Allah. Allah,
read the Quran, connect with the Quran from now onwards, until
Ramadan and beyond Ramadan,
do lots of vikrula. Do lots of Salawat, Rasulillah, do lots of
Sadaqah,
and please don't miss one salah. Says, imagine the Muslims of the
world are going to decide that each and every Muslim is going to
Salah five times per day. Allah Akbar, the victory in Palestine
and Al Quds will get closer and closer and closer. So this begin
with yourself. Make sure that you make your Salah five times per
day, on time with hushu, not quickly salah. You are really
connected to Allah. And in your Salah, you are making dua Ya
Allah. Please liberate Maslow aksar Allah,
and then the change will come, and that is confirming the Quran in
Allah.
Allah will never change the conditions of a people or the
condition of a people, unless they change within themselves. Each and
every one of them change. So all of us, we need to change. We can't
be the same like last year. We must be different people. We must
stand up in the middle of the night cry in front of Allah. That
is real concern for the Ummah, and that is real concern for majla
Aksa, lip service is not enough,
yay. Walaina, Amanu, Lima Taku, Luna malataf Alun, kabura makata
in Allah and Taku Lu malaf Alun, oh, you believe. Why you just use
Why don't you? Why? Why do you just talk and there's no action?
Allah is asking the question. Lima Taku Luna malata, why do you say
things and you don't put it in practice. Kabula makata in the
law. It is so ugly in the eyes of Allah to say, and you don't
practice.
Abu lahiba, tuba illallahu, my beloved ones make tawba to Allah
and
ask ALLAH forgive.
This for indeed our beloved Nabi Muhammad says, Kulu niya Adam
khataun wakhata in the tawabun. Each and every child of Nabi Adam
makes mistakes and wrongdoings,
but the best of them are those who return to Allah and
Jamaat must mean Alhamdulillah, we can proudly say from this member
for the 32nd year, we don't forget to remind our brothers and sisters
about the five times salah,
and I don't get even boring and tired to remind the Muslims every
time, because there are so many of them that are in need of these
reminders. And it might just be today that that person is going to
grasp
and decide, yes, from now onwards, I'm not going to miss one Salah
Allah, and you will give strength to the Ummah and strength to your
family.
So may Allah grant that each one of us here in the masjid, and each
and everyone that listens to us on social media,
if you're if you are still neglect for the Salah, I want to say to
you, my dear brother or sister, this is your moment.
This is your day,
and the first step to Jannatul. Fill those because the salah is
the key to your ultimate success. And you know what? The
matriculants have just received their results, and some of them
got distinctions in history, biology, geography, 90% and 90%
but he failed in mathematics. He's a total failure.
So coming the day of qiyama, you've given million sadaqa. You
went for Hajj 20 times, for Umrah 50 times, and you look after the
poor. But the very first thing that Allah is going to question
your day of qiyama says Rasulullah is your Salah,
and if you pass in your Salah, Allah will overlook all the other
subjects, but if you fail in your Salah, you're a total failure.
My dear ones, just before I'm going to ask malabda Halik just to
say a few words, because it won't be correct that if the first
deputy president of the MGC is here and also the President of the
United ulama Council of South Africa, it's a very important and
a key position that Molina, just for a Baraka, say A few words to
us, but just before that,
we want to remind everybody again that Sunday is a very, very
crucial day for our masjid,
and we are appealing to everybody to support the masjid, the
maintenance of the masjid and so many other projects of the masjid,
the time doesn't allow us, but just for example, We can establish
a Educational Resource Center, which is so important for the
community and especially for the youth. So Inshallah, from 1030
until 230 please connect with us on Facebook. You can even bring
your sadaqa here to the masjid on Sunday, but please make sure that
we going to make Sunday a great success in ya rabal Alamin, and
now I give over To Malala
beer.
Salaam Alaikum to my beloved Sheik Ibrahim, our staff and our leader.
I said it the other day, and I would like to repeat it once
again. Sheik Ibrahim is my and our leader.
There's three things that they quickly just want to mention
this morning when I woke up knowing the fact that this is a
very important day in the launch of a very important program. I
actually so much aspire that I should go in ziara, the cover of
Mawlana, iksan Hendrix.
And unfortunately I didn't get there. But maybe I should make Nia
to still go in ziyara, it is good to ziara the maqabir on a young
muljumua
and to ziara the maqabir and the pubu and the Kuba Susan say it is
a reminder to our own death. But Malana itsan and Sheik Ibrahim,
they brought the flag of Al masjid, Al Aqsa al Mubarak,
vibrant to the thinking and the vision of Sheik Nadeem Muhammad
Rahmatullah.
Sheik Nadeem Muhammad was a father figure to many of the young
generations of ulama who are seniors today. And Sheik Nadeem
Muhammad Rahmatullah at the time.
Spoke about our responsibility. I'm talking many years back
towards al Masjid Al Aqsa, Al Mubarak today, Alhamdulillah,
Rabbi Lamin you Masjid Rabia, you are so blessed to have Shaykh
Ibrahim as your Imam. May Allah preserve and protect and grant him
long Umar ngudi Alf, the second point that I quickly want to make
is this coming to the masjid today reminded me about our departure in
2011
on the long journey, which were known as
Africa one aid convoy and Wallahi, our brothers and some of them are
in the masjid here. We got in our vans and Comis, and you'd recall
how the convoy left from here. And whilst being on journey we we got
the month of Ramadan in a news of Ramadan, and the first Ramadan as
we entered in Mazi taqwa in Port Elizabeth, the Adan went off as
salatul Isha and the Jamaat that were traveling from Cape Town, we
joined that particular Masjid on this particular Africa, one convoy
the journey towards liberating al masjid, Al Aqsa, Al Mubarak. We
are saying to the Zionists, we'll continue until Majid Al Aqsa, a
Palestinian people are liberated and free.
The third point that I want to make is, may Allah keep this
member vibrant with Haq, with truth and with other and with
justice. May Allah keep this masjid and this Imam and this
member vibrant to share the kalimatulak and the truth
and may Allah preserve Shaykh Ibrahim. This Masjid has seen many
projects, many programs, many efforts, and that's the reason
why, uniquely, when this Masjid was was renovated, those of us who
are guests here, you will see the design of this particular carpet.
Sheik Ibrahim wanted to make sure that the masjid name are being
renamed from Al Masjid to Rabia, the fourth Masjid that was
established in Mitchell's plain, to connecting it with Al Masjid Al
Aqsa, Mubarak. And therefore we say, May Allah keep this member
strong, vibrant with the AK until Masjid Al Aqsa and further until
the journey Inshallah, Aziz, until qiyama, with the truth and justice
inshallah Aziz. Therefore these carpets that you see here carries
that particular message, whoever, when, whenever you come into this
Masjid into remind you about my duty towards al masjid, Al Aqsa,
Mubarak, JazakAllah masala, Wali Kumar, Ahmad Allah, katu,
tagbeard,
taqbir,
mashaAllah, shukran of the Khaliq, the president of United ulama
Council of Africa. And may Allah preserve Malana for many, many
years and take the Muslim committers of Africa forward to
another great level, arm in Yoruba, lahalami, we've been asked
to make the ah, please make the offer my wife, my Muna, will be 80
years old tomorrow from her husband, children, grandchildren
and great grandchildren, the Allah grant and barakah and long life.
And maker of the sale you're also going to make the offer of our
beloved brother, Alvi Clayton. He's also a very, very sick and
one of our former committee members, Bucha Muhammad vahi, also
a positive and sick and had a heart attack. And Alhamdulillah is
much better. He's at home, but we make Noah for him and for Alvin.
All those who are sick and afflicted with the corona, Allah
must grant him speedy and a fully recovery. And once again, all
those who have passed on of the of the loved ones in umasi and
everybody else, may Allah grant him Nur in the qubor and grant him
Jannah to fit those who SallAllahu, sayyna, Muhammad
Alhamdulillah.
