honorable. Mona tilawal, honorable. Mona Salim,
all the committee members of Jamia basic,
all my seniors, all my beloved brothers and fathers, sisters and
brothers and beloved youth, I greet you all
with the universal greetings of love and peace and mercy. Assalamu
alaikum. It is,
once again, a great honor, the privilege for you to be with your
honorable selves today.
And we start off by saying Alhamdulillah. Tum Alhamdulillah.
We thank Allah for all the favors that Allah has bestowed upon us.
And we thank Allah granted us again the honor to be the Juma.
And
we thank Allah for the greatest favor,
and that is that Allah has chosen us and selected us to be part of
the ummah of la ilaha, illallah, Muhammad, alasallallah, I just
want to remind
that we are not Muslims by luck or by chance, because Allah says at
the end of Surah, rahaj muajab Kum, he Allah is the one that has
selected you to be a Muslim. Alhamdulillah,
Malana Abu ILA iya, so we don't worship anyone but Allah. And we
say to the whole world, nashawa, Allah, ILAHA, illallah, we be
testimony that noone has got the right to be worshiped. It may also
be a testimony that our beloved Nabi Muhammad, sallAllahu, Sallam
is the final and the greatest Messenger of Allah, Al qawil, the
one that said Owen, nasibia, yoman kiyamat, the people closest to me
on the beef Kiyama and the people that will stand first in line to
enter Jannah through The shafa. A Rasulillah Ali said, waslam are
those Muslimeen we have put the moose salawat and Rasulillah,
sallAllahu, wasallam,
Allah Kareem, where Allah in Salam and barakah and our beloved Nabi
Ali said to Islam, and then all the brothers of Rasulillah, of the
Ambien mursain and his family and his Sahaba, waman Kabira, and all
those who followed Rasulullah in the best way until the day of Yom
al Qiyamah
ibad Allah, after that, oh beloved servants of Allah. Itta Allah,
always be conscious of Allah.
Always be mindful of Allah. What's it mean of mindful? Break up the
word Your mind must be full of Allah.
What to your own and we be obedient to Allah. For indeed, in
the whole world, no one is more happier, and no one is more
successful than the one that is obedient to Allah and obedient to
Rasulullah, sallAllahu, Sallam
wa Allah, that Allah says no only Quran in surah Al abiya Right at
the beginning of Suratul, Lam rajim, vikri mi Robin,
illesta, Mau
la yetan, kulum, sada, Allah,
open our hearts for the Quran and may Allah increase our love for
the Quran.
So Allah says
to us his Abu, the day of reckoning, the day.
When we are going to stand accountable in front of Allah is
getting closer and closer.
But people, human beings, they are unconcerned about the
day of your worried
Maya, a team in vikri mirabim, whenever new advice comes from
virab from Allah, they listen to it in a playful and mocking way,
while their hearts are youthless. Their heart Allah says their
hearts are needless,
my beloved ones, we need. We need to ask ourselves, Why did Allah
reveal this ayat? Because we must remember the Quran is a book of
guidance.
So we need to ponder and to contemplate. And in fact, that is
what Allah is asking for all of us
don't people ponder over the words of Allah. So we mustn't just read
the Allah says, the day of reckoning is getting closer, and
people are unconcerned and the negligent. Just read it. By the
way, Allah wants us to ponder, contemplate, and when we do
ponder, we will then find out that Allah actually wants to make sure
that we, all of us, are not going to be of those who are heedless
and unconcerned about the biggest and most important day in our
lives, the day of Yom Kiyama.
The day is Allah describes Yao ma yafir, Marum wa umihi, wa ABI wa
sahibadi wabani, that day is going to be so difficult, the person is
going to run away from his own brother. He's going to run away
from his mother.
He's imagining mother's mother's mother. I can't worry about you
mother, away from his father, his children, his spouse, because
worried about himself. Am I going to make it to the Jannah?
So yes, my dear ones, today's Jumuah is not just another Juma.
Today's Jumaa is all about making sure that all of us, we are on
track, and if not,
that that need to change, and
we need to wake up before it's too late.
We can't, we can't wake up in the cover. In
fact, say NA AMI, Rabbi Allah Anu said
a nurse uni Yan
FA, either merto in tadavu. People are asleep,
and when they die, then only they wake up and realize, what is the
reality
my beloved ones,
I said to myself recently, Ibrahim, just imagine entering the
Jannah.
Just imagine living, living living in the palaces in the Jannah. Just
imagine living in the vastness, the vastness of the Jannah. So
just to give an idea of the vastness and when Allah has
prepared for us,
our beloved, Nabi Muhammad Ali said to us, Hadith, authentic
hadith.
I know the last, the last person that will exit Jahannam,
and I know that person, and he will be the last person to enter
Jannah. What does that mean? He will have the lowest rank in
Jannah.
And he comes to the Jannah, and Allah says, to eat utfully Jannah.
And he goes and he looks in the Jannah. And to he to him, it looks
it's full. He comes back to say, oh, Allah, it's full. Allah says,
No, that's not true. Go the second time he comes back with the same
the third time, when the third time he came back to say, it's
full. Allah says, team,
you enter the Jannah. Your size of your Jannah is the size of the
world that you live in, not South Africa, the world that you live
in, and 10 times the size of the world that you live in.
Maybe we don't realize what Allah has prepared for us.
And I said to myself, Ibrahim, this.
Imagine, when you're into the Jannah, you're going to live
forever in the Jannah.
It forever doesn't mean 500 million years.
It's not 500 billion years. It's
not even 500 trillion years, it's forever.
And then I said to myself, but Ibrahim, just imagine you don't
make it to the Jannah
in the Malaika. Tell you you're not going to Jannah. You're going
to jahannam May Allah protect all of us,
my dear ones, I'm here today.
I didn't come all the way from Mrs. Crane to waste your time. I'm
I came all the way to tell you and to motivate you and myself, first,
to work out extra hard to go to Jannah.
And Allah says about those people going to
enter the and what an amazing reward for those who have worked
hard.
Currently, we are allow me to say we are mediocre. What's
the meaning of mediocre. We are average. We just, by the way,
working for Jannah.
In other words, we are not serious.
In 1992 when problems started in Somalia,
I was very fortunate to go with the olamah delegation to the
borders of Somalia to take away aid that was collected by the
South African Muslims
on our way back one afternoon for dua Salah, we went to a masjid in
Nairobi. It is in the city center,
and there are so many people coming for Salah, coming to people
for the lunch break, that they give 20 minutes for people to take
udu between the Adan and the karma. And in that time, one of
the olama will stand up and say a few words.
And I was very fortunate to be there that day, because I've
learned so much, and I've learned this following lesson, I'm going
to share it with you that day, that Alim is from
Mombasa.
He said,
Allah says in the whole Quran,
I'm hasI baton and tadaful, Jannat, alam na ya Alam ilahu,
Nadi najahadu, minkum, asking us the
question
before I'm going to say for go further, Allah has already
prepared our Jannah, all our Jannat are prepared. But in this
ayah, Allah says, Do you think that you are just simply going to
Jannah, and you haven't shown Allah yet that you are serious, to
go to Jannah,
and I want you to remember I remember it now, since 1992 I'm
I'm appealing to you to remember this, ayah, and I'm going to
repeat it. Allah is asking the question, do you think that you
just simply going to Jannah and you haven't shown Allah yet, that
you are serious to go to Jannah, and you haven't some Allah yet,
that you are of those people who have suffered
the real SABR, the complete Sabha. You know, it's a complete Sabha.
The complete sub is in free the first one we know if anything
happens, if somebody dies, if you are an exodus, you've lost money,
whatever you say in nali, Lali, but in Raju, you don't, you don't
complain. And you know,
that's the first part of the three.
The second one is to have suffer on what Allah commanded you to do.
For example, every morning you're up for Fajr. You have that sor,
but if Allah has commanded you do it. The third one
is to stay away from all haram, from all wrong doings.
You know what Allah says about the people that were at SABR?
Wahan, Allah, im namah, your FASA, bihun na AJ RAM, who had a real
Sabbath, they were into the Jannah behind without reckoning. Allah
has not been a Christian in Allah, Allah, my dear
ones,
please allow me to share with you one or two examples to prove to
your honorable selves that we are not so serious. But before I'm
going to do that, I
just want to remind you of a very important ayah of the Holy Quran
Abu.
Says, In Suratul arav Aya nambait, you must remember that reference
so you can go back. Allah says, while you was new Yama Ibn Haqq,
there wasn't the willing, the willing the skills, the willing of
your good deeds and your bad deeds. It is the truth is, Allah,
it's
going to happen. Your good deeds are going to stood here and the
bad things. Here it is the let me read the ayah again.
Well, what's new, young man, it is
the truth, the winning of your good good deeds and your bad
deeds.
And those people who whose scales of good deeds are going to be very
heavy, they are going to succeed to Jannah
waman, but those whose scales are going to be light,
light in good deeds and heavy incense,
those are the people that going to lose themselves because of how
they treated the words of Allah, subhana wa taala,
to my Muslim, the example that I want to make To prove that we are
not so serious
our beloved a mansalla,
salatul ishala, woman salah,
Subhana al Jamal, takaan, namakamala,
any person That makes Salah in the masjid, salatu Isha, but Allah,
you will give the reward as if you have stood up half of the night
making Salah to tahajjud
and insula makes treasure in the masjid. But Allah, you will get
the reward for every night as if you've made Hummel Ibadah to
Allah,
but you once, our beloved Nabi Alicia to Islam has inform us that
the two lakh sunnah, Salah, Fajr is more worthwhile, and it's more
valuable than all the wealth in the dunya, all The currencies, all
the diamonds, all the gold platter, whatever. What do you
think about the Fajr Salah in the masjid? And there's no comparison.
But why are the MAS the masajid empty for Fajr Salah in Cape Town
in South Africa, all over the world?
Do you? Do you know that
only 5%
of the Muslim ummah are making
the Fazl Salah in the message, 5% uh,
I'm in imam for 36 years, yeah, and
for 36 years, it's the same amount of people professor in the
masajid, and our message is a bit more than other massage
purchasing. So why? And the answer is because most of the Muslims are
not really serious about the day of your milk qiyama
So Allah says to us in Surah Qiyamah, what is the problem?
Allah, AJ, whatever you know.
What's the
meaning of Kala? Kala is a doubt to them being Allah wants to draw
more attention. Allah saying to all of us, can I have no
attention? Do you know what's the problem? You love the quick
tempering world.
We've got the rule and ahira and you have abandoned. You have
forsaken the akhira.
That's the reason why the messy masjid for Fajr is only 5%
if any country here in South Africa or anywhere in the world,
if they tell you, Mister Gabriel, so mister Abrams,
you are working for us, but we've got two options.
The one option is five times of the day you can work from
home, and for every 50 minutes that you work alone, we'll give
you 1000 Rand.
So for the day is 5000 Rand. The other option is Mr. Gabriel's. If
you come into the offices of the CEO of the bus of the company. We
will give you for every 15 minutes it come 27,000
so for I work it out quickly. So for the for the day,
Mister Gabriels, if you come into the offices of 50 minutes.
Yes, five times, morning, early afternoon, late afternoon,
evening, and
you will get for the day, 155,000
Rand
for the week, for the person that works at home. For the for the
week, you will get 55,000 Rand for the for the person that comes in
to the offices every day, five times for the week, not for the
month. 945,000
now we go to the month, the person that works at home, 140,000
for the month. Listen to the person that works at the offices
going in every day, five times, 3,000,708 3,780,000
nobody in this world. What Muslims? Non Muslims will never
refuse. Will never work at home. They will never work alone. All of
them will work. In fact, people that go to other companies, they
will apply for that company to work with that company where you
can earn 3,780,000
for one month, coming in 15 minutes, five times per day. But
when Allah makes the office, when Allah make the same offer, it's
not to respond. So Muslims are not serious about the day of young.
The objective of today's Jummah
is that we must change it around.
The Juma is not here just to come. It's a formality, and I go home
and my life is still the same. That's not the objective. That's
not the reason why Allah has made a compulsory for you to come to
the Jumah. Allah wants you to improve your life. Allah wants you
to change your life. Allah wants you to become serious. That is why
almost 20% or 25%
of the Quran Allah, speaking about the day of human Kiyama.
And Allah says to us, on the day Kiyama, the people, the person is
going to say cool. Ragbila akhar, tangila,
Ajin, Kari Bink, not the day Kiyama, the day where Malakal milk
knocks on his door and say, Your time is over. Allah says, then
that person is going to say, oh, Allah, if you can just give me a
little more time for Assad Baka so that I can make sabaka. Well, I
couldn't mean a Salafi. Oh, Allah, give me more time so that I can be
of the salikin, that I can be of those people that Attik every what
that I can be of those people who stand up for Salah to tahajjud,
that I can be of those people who who fast on a Monday and a
Thursday?
That was that was the other example that I wanted to make
about
the proof that the Muslims are not serious about going to Jannah,
jawasmi. Mean I know my time is over. But there's a few things I
want to say
to prepare ourselves for the Akira. And that is and I feel it
the last time, when I was here about eight months or nine months,
I don't know the exact time, maybe a year,
and I told you that almost a year ago, I said to our Jama
importance,
brothers and sisters. I call them the Fajr family. Fajr family,
I said to them, Allah is saying to us in the Quran, yay mankat, I
must say the last time, you know I was here, I don't know if that
young man, a young man, is between 30 and 40, so I said, I'm going to
check up the next time when I come here, when I got into my car, he
said to me, Sheik, I'm not going to wait for Sheik to come next
year. Inshallah, I'm going to start today to do 1000 times the
ilaha illallah, and may Allah grant him that we carried out
inshaAllah,
this must be part of our preparations. Mean, just imagine
I'm saying again. Just imagine Allah is saying to us,
remember me in abundance. You know, it's a meaning of that you
remember me in abundance, and I will remember you in abundance.
Just imagine the Devki yamakam and the Malaika. Tell the Allah, tell
the Malaika. Just look in the book of my my slave, if he was one of
those people who remember me in abundance. And just imagine him. I
like to say, Oh Allah, we are so sorry to say that
not actually, not actually must mean we need to change it at all,
and
it is your decision, nobody else. You have to make the decision. You
have to be smart. The other
thing that I want to mention.
Is that
Gaza is still bleeding,
and I must admit to say that last week, when we had a demonstration
in front of the US Embassy,
it was one of my saddest days in my life,
because I expected that
there's going to be minimum, 3000 people of Cape Town at the US
Embassy, the real murderers.
You know, I'm going to use that word heedless and unconcerned. He
said it's because we are unconcerned about what's happening
to our brothers and sisters in Palestine two weeks ago, at the
10th of August, on a Saturday morning, some of our brothers made
Salah al Fajr, and they were massacred. They were pinched. They
were really pinched, because when the families came to fix the
bodies, no, no, not the bodies, the plastic bags of meat, human
meat. And
how do how do they find out this 100 people? Because they put 70
kilos of meat in each plastic, because that's an average of a
human being. That's why they knew it's about 100 people that were
massacred and butchered,
and the Muslims are still in their own lives, I'm concerned. So what
must mean? I want to motivate you, Inshallah, to stand up for
Palestine and for Gaza, because on the day of Kiyama, Allah is going
to ask you, you live at the time of a genocide in what can you do?
And I'm so sorry to use this example, but maybe some of the old
people would know Roger Waters. Roger Waters is one of the of a
pop pop singing group in Britain. The group is Pink Floyd. Pink
Floyd. He's now 79 years old. He was interviewed, and he cried. We
speak about Gaza. The person the presenter asked him, Mr. Rotis,
why are you crying?
He says, I'm not only crying now. I cry every morning for the
children of Gaza. So
I'm asking the question of, where are we? Yeah, Rob so quickly,
because after we've got,
one of the programs that we have in Cape Town is a Palestinian
Barber's day. Palestinian Barber's day where you cut your head and
you give a donation of 100 grand minimum to the people of ghaza. So
that will happen Sunday after Sunday morning Inshallah, from
seven o'clock until four o'clock in Bucha, in the Scottish cloth,
bunu hub as a small hole, we're going to be there inshallah. That
must mean I'm really going to eat now.
And just to end off with the hadith of Rasulullah,
I
Adam,
36 years Imam. Every Friday I end up of the majumah with this hadith
of Rasulullah, the Hadith of the greatest leader, sallAllahu, as
each and every child of Nabi Adam makes mistakes and wrong dreams,
but the best of him are those who return to Allah.
People will write you off. People, some people tell you are you 40
years you didn't change if you don't change it, 40 you will never
come right? That's not a hadith of Rasul.
That's worth of the Shaykh in Islam, even if you are hungry and
30 years old and you want to change and come back to Allah,
Allah will receive you, and Allah will accept the Toba.
And every Friday, when I come to this part of the Hadith, I remind
people, those people who haven't decided yet to make the five times
Salah every day,
my dear brothers, my my teacher, my ustas, who became my father in
law, Imam Ismail, Abdullah, Johnstone, Rahmatullah Ali. And
he's a man that didn't go study overseas. He studied here in Cape
Town. He studied at Ismail khamip in Woodstock. And when he come out
of class, and he did not understand he don't take a bus to
land some he used to live in
next
but the old number some Bookland, some Bookland, then he would walk
from boomstop to some Bookland to learn. Now, that teacher taught me
a hadith that I never read in a book, but He repeated it so much
that I memorized the Hadith. My lucky Allah wa only salahu
imahasanati, any person that leaves us well whilst he or she
was neglected with the salah and the day of Ki.
Yama Allah is not interested in all your other good deeds. You
could have gone for Hajj every year and gone for Umrah every
month. You could have given sadaqah to the poor millions. But
because of your negligence of the Salah, the lucky Muhammad says,
Allah, don't want to see you. The Malaka will come and tell you,
brother or sister, you are standing in the wrong queue. These
people are going to Jannah, but you, because of your negligence of
your salary, your place is there with the
Hadi. Doesn't stop there. Rasi Allah says
Your place is there with the wills of
kufr.
That is your place. You have the honor to speak to Allah five
times, but they you, by your own choice and own decision, refuse to
speak to Allah today. Allah refuses to speak to you. So my
brothers and sisters, if you are here, this message is meant for
you. You make the decision today now that from today onwards,
you're not going to miss one salah, Abu Asmaa, FAMU regime,
you're be
conscious of Allah and let each and every person look, look at how
this ayah fits in our topic of today.
Let each and Allah says to all of us, nobody is excluded. There's
one lesson that I learned from, from my brother in law,
shakshaina, again, say, Allah, fear Allah, in your preparations
for the day of Yom Akiyama. And then Allah ends up to say in
Allah, certainly, Allah Kabiru, Allah is informed what whatever
you do. Another way to translate that ayah is Allah knows
Allah,
Muhammad,
Ali was Abu
Asmaa kumlayim sharing that seriousness with us. Rascal Allah
subhanahu
wa looking for an exemplary Imam. And you look at him, it's just
not words that spoken from his mouth, but the man that whatever
he says is an example of whatever he speaks about. Wherever you find
the shirt, you'll either be in the masjid or you'll be reciting
Quran. And you only know someone when you travel with him, and many
of us do not know that, and she won't be so so happy, but Dabas as
a psycho of motivation that at chef's age, Sheik was, of course,
not in the extreme, best of health, and as Allah, Allah grant
him good health for many years, Inshallah, I mean,
but I don't recall traveling with Shaykh without Sheik performing.
And
Sheik recites so much Quran that you shy when you sit in front of
the sheik, because of our little Quran you recite. And this is a
senior that's reciting so much Quran and performing so much
salah, Allah, Subhanahu wa spazing For many years with us, inshallah.
And we can take from his example, inshallah. I mean, just a very
short, big announcement, inshallah. Did
we get the parking lot?
Not yet, the negotiating the church and the parking lot
inshallah and the Imams house also.
So next week Inshallah, the section here with a better
character sitting here and behind the class Inshallah, from next
week will that will be occupied by the by the ladies Inshallah, as
the ladies section, as we come now, but too small, and they will
then occupy that section, but the men will still, then also still go
upstairs, and that doors will then close, and then ladies could use
the entrance as they sold to HANA as well. For them, we're
encouraging everyone to please park in the parking area provided
on the back of the masjid and on the side of the masjid. And also
we will start the project inshallah for the wall that is
behind the masjid that doesn't look so nice the
masjid will be starting that project very soon inshallah. And
everyone that wishes to contribute towards that project can speak to
one of the members of the committee insha Allah subhanahu
wa,
