Beloved fathers and brothers and sons. Malinda has asked me to say
a few words. First of all, we want to thank Allah all the favors that
Allah has bestowed upon us. And I was totally surprised when I came
in here. I didn't know about this new developments. So I want to
say, Mubarak, congratulations to the community all the hard work
and wherever you have
contributed to the masjid Allah will go for you. Akala sin Jannah.
Amen, we know the famous hadith of beloved Nabi
Muhammad. He said, was Jannah. Whosoever builds a Mazi, Allah
will build for your palace in Jannah. So the Sahaba said, Ya
Rasulullah, but we are not rich people. We can't afford to build a
Mazi.
So the NABI Muhammad said. Ali said, was even if your
contribution is the size of a bird's nest, this is size of a
bird's nest, then Allah will give you the same reward. So whenever
you have contributed here inshallah is guaranteed, Allah
will build for your palace and Jannah. Amen, amen. And So may
Allah also grant that the Jama of this part of the world, the
disability, become stronger and stronger inshallah and bigger,
amen, and to become stronger, we have to have that love for one
another, pure love for one another. In a message where I am
in importance masala, rabid for the liberation of that is the name
of our masjid, I always tell people that we don't have any
place and space in our hearts to raise another Muslim, leave alone
people making Salah every day will help with us. We only have a place
and space to love each and every Muslim,
and if it's pure love, love,
then Rasulullah says to us, it's going to be announced. We are
those people who love one another? Did
they come forward and put it on bhimbers? Not these type of people
of Noor even
the ambiya, those people that posted to Jannah? They're going to
ask Yahoo, who are these people? And the answer will come. They
will favor Muslims that love one another only for the sake of
Allah. So have
that love one another and respect for one another, that this Allah
is about unity and love.
And I can also share that I am very fortunate where I am as a
imam for 34 years, I never had any problem with the community, lower
the committee. Alhamdulillah, 34 years, no problems.
As a as a former president of the MCC and president of I traveled a
lot, went to a lot of conferences, not once it committed, but she
traveled again because they understood that I'm not only the
Imam of authors, I'm representing the Muslims of Cape Town in South
Africa and many other conferences. So that must be the understanding
inshallah. And the second point I want to, I want to bring over, is
that and we've been lacking for the last 100 years. Uma has been
lacking this important part of our lives, and that is the core people
we are. Sometimes they say we are 2% or 3% or, let us not say We are
5% here in South Africa. In other words, there are 45 million non
Muslims waiting for us to bring back the deen of Islam, the
beautiful Deen of Islam. And this, there's one thing that I've
learned when I was on Hajj. About five years ago, one of the Imams
of Ahmed Maka came and gave us a few words, and he said that we are
not responsible for the results, so Allah is not going to keep us
responsible. Uh, no, no, assume. So how many people did you manage
to pray for Islam, that final guidance is in the hands of Allah.
We are only responsible if we deliver the message, or didn't we
deliver the message. And for so far, most of us, we didn't deliver
the message. We were by the the world and the non Muslim world are
waiting for the Muslims to bring them to deed of Islam. I'm just
going to end
up with a person that used to be a pastor, a priest in Texas in the
United States of America, and I'm going to just shorten the story.
His name was Joseph Estes, and his father told me.
You
they were making business. Also, his father's a priest. He is a
priest, and his father told me that tomorrow, Egyptian is coming
to make business with us. He said, Oh, okay, I'll go to the airport
conviction, because I went to Europe, the pilgrimage in Egypt.
So the father said to and he's a Muslim, a Muslim. No, no, no part
of this. I don't want to meet Muslims. These people are
worshiping, worshiping a black box Indonesia,
referring to the tower. The father said, but you have to do wind and
a long story short,
this Egyptian Muslims stay within every day at the supper time
because they speak about the religion Yusuf, is this the night
his wife told me, Joseph, I want the divorce
because the other priest, the Brazilian priest embrace think
that he was a bra Islam. The wife said, I want the divorce. He said,
No, no, I I'm not Muslim. She said, No, the reason why divorce
is I am a Muslim.
So he said, No, no, I am also Muslim. So said, No, that's the
reason why I'm only divorced because you lie. You just know
here,
so you can go on and YouTube and look at Yusuf. Is this a brilliant
called the dean of Islam. So this is a phrase
that we're delivering the the message of Jesus. He's now a
Muslim. So we must invite these to make our efforts, and we will do
here in this area of how many of the white people, in the colored
people, the black people, will embrace the dean of Islam. So
inshallah. I hope. Inshallah, more than our speakers already invited
me to come give a Jumah Inshallah, so that piece of the cards
inshallah. So I don't want to delay the brothers. He just, I'm
just happy to be here and Allah grant us, as we meet here tonight,
that Allah will grant us to meet in Jannah.
And we have been asking a young doctor that has passed on
yesterday, doctor that has passed yesterday, may Allah discover he
in fact, also May Allah protect us two children,
baraka and subsist and They meet up with the father and
husband in general.
Allah,
