All praises to Allah,
and may His peace and blessings be upon
His servant and Messenger, our Master Sayyidina Muhammad
sallallahu alaihi wasallam.
Brothers and sisters, this is the most sacred
day of the entire year.
We don't notice it.
Why? Because we've come to a land far
from the land of our forefathers.
That's okay. There's nothing wrong with that. Hijra
is also a part of Islam.
Moving from one place to the other, the
entire earth belongs to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
There's nothing wrong with it. There's no shame
in it. But there are difficulties.
This is a sacred day
whether you see the people notice it or
they don't.
Are you a more extreme creation or the
heavens? Allah
built all of it.
This planet is a little speck in a
solar system, which is less than a speck
in a galaxy, which is less than a
speck in the universe.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala declared and decreed, this
day is sacred. And who is Allah? Allah
Ta'ala is the one who created time and
He's the one who created space.
This is a sacred day. This is the
day that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
commanded the believers to make a sacrifice.
You're familiar with the story of the sacrifice.
Right?
Allah ta'ala
showed a dream to Sayidna Ibrahim alayhi salam.
And despite all of shaitan's
attempts
to stop him from making the sacrifice of
his son,
All of the attempts to stop his wife
from
from
to get his wife to stop him from
making sacrifice of his son. All of his
attempts to get the son himself to extricate
himself from the sacrifice.
What what happened? What was the result?
The result was still that he ran the
knife over the throat of his son.
And Allah Ta'ala miraculously saved him. Allah Ta'ala
substituted in the place of that sacrifice, what?
Another ram. This is the first important lesson
everyone needs to remember. I'm not going to
recount the story in its detail because you're
familiar with it.
The first important lesson is what?
Allah Ta' asks you for sacrifice,
but does he make you give it? Did
Ishmael alaihi salam, did he die?
No.
Shaitan scares you that you'll lose everything if
you do what's right, if you do what's
good. And what ends up happening? Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala saves his people.
Look, everybody will die one day.
Even if you're rich,
no matter what passport you have, even if
you're beautiful, even if you're young, even if
you're healthy, even if you work out every
day, even if you eat right,
even if you have a healthy heart,
even if you have good blood pressure, and
you don't have diabetes, and you don't have
any issue, still everybody dies. Everybody dies one
day. It happens to everybody.
But Allah ta'ala doesn't leave
anyone behind who wishes to be His friend.
Allah Ta'ala asks for sacrifice, but does He
take it? No.
You look you see, it looks like you
lost something.
Instead, Allah ta'ala gave you something greater.
This is the first the first lesson that
we have to remember from this Eid.
Once we know this lesson, now we are
free.
Fear no longer shackles us and holds us
back as slaves.
We don't work for our boss anymore.
We don't work for the government anymore.
We don't work for
other people's expectations.
We don't work for the eyes of other
people. What are they gonna say about us?
What are they gonna judge us?
Now we get to choose what it is
that we want to do.
If you want to serve someone or something,
everybody serves something or another. Everyone has a
god that they worship. Some people it's money.
Some people it's stone and wood.
Some people, it's other people's expectations. Some people,
it's their own ego.
Everyone is going to worship some god. Why
not worship the god who created the heavens
and the earth? Because unlike
every other thing that people worship, that's the
only Allah ta'ala is the only god that
can actually give you something back, something
to help you, something to benefit you in
this world and the hereafter.
Now you're free.
You're free. You did your korban. You did
your odhia.
You didn't have to sacrifice or lose anything.
You're gonna yourself eat from it. If you're
not gonna eat from it, that's your own
choice. If you sold it, send it overseas.
But if you did it by your own
hand, Allah Ta'ala says, Here, take it. Eat
it.
Allah ta'ala is not interested in the
meat, and he's not interested in the blood.
What he's interested in what? Is the state
inside of the heart.
Brothers and sisters, I'm honored. I was called
by the Uzbek community, masha Allah. Who's hosting
this?
Salatulaid. The salat is for everybody. There's also
Uzbek and Anan Uzbek here.
But I'm still honored that I was called
by this community to host this
or to serve this Eid salat, that's hosting
this Eid salat.
Anyone from Samarkand here?
Anyone?
Masha'Allah.
The only part of the old city that
wasn't destroyed.
Right next to Afrasiyab is the Mazarav, Saynaqutam
ibnu
Abbas radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu, companion of the Messenger
of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
The most noble resident of all of Samarkand,
Masha'Allah.
And what do they call him?
Shahezinda,
the living king,
even though he was never king in the
worldly sense.
Why do they say these shahi zinda? Why
is it not?
Why?
Because he gave his life in the path
of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. You know the
story about this? Even if you know it,
it's good. I can if I know it,
I can hear it again a 100 times
and still be happy. He
is
the cousin, first cousin of the Prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam. Same relation as Saydna Ali,
same relation as Abdullah bin Abbas.
His favela is what? That the last person
in the grave of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam, the people who went in the
grave and received his
Noble person, and set him in the grave
facing the tabla.
The last person to be with him that
came out of the
the grave of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasall,
Qutb ibn Abu Abbas radiAllahu anhu Ma.
His
cousin
was the governor of Khorasan
during the time of conquest,
Sa'id bin Uthman ibn Affan, the son of
Uthman bin Affan.
He said to him,
My cousin,
you come. We're going out in the path
of Allah Ta'ala. We're going to take this
message of La ilaha illallah
to a people who have never heard of
it before.
It's going to be dangerous.
They will fight us, they will resist us.
Come with the army.
If you come, you're the blood of the
Rasul Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, you're the first cousin
of the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
I promise you I'll give you 1,000 shares,
1,000 shares of hanima that a normal soldier
would receive.
You know the spoils of war, the war
treasure from victory?
I'll give you 1,000 shares if you come
with us.
If it was us they say, I'm not
going 1,000 shares, man. It's dangerous.
Even Samarkandi guys probably wouldn't go back to
Samarkandi if it was dangerous. Say, it's dangerous.
I'm happy here in Naperville.
Those people are different than you and me.
Masha, you guys, I know you guys are
not like me. I'm a coward. Maybe you
guys you guys are not like me. You
know? But that's Shaitan puts the thought in
your head. Right? But then when you remember
Allah, then the thought goes away. So what
did he say? Saeed, his cousin Saeed says,
I'll give you a 1,000 shares of Hanima.
Then he said, you know,
it's okay. You don't have to do that.
I'll come with you. Just give me the
khums, the share that's reserved for the family
of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, I'll take
my part of it.
And then after that, he thought about it
more and he said, You know what?
Forget it. Even if you don't give me
that, I'll come anyway.
And so they conquered Samarkand.
And then after the army left, what happened?
The local garrison overthrew them and they executed
him.
And he was shahid in the path of
Allah.
Tell me, the first cousin of the Rasul
Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, where is his homeland?
Is it Samarkand?
Where is it? It's Madinah. Right? That he
left Madinah Munawaramasha.
So many of you are from Madinah, or
have seen Madinah as well. What a wonderful
and beautiful place. What a happy place.
What a calm and serene place. Why would
anybody ever want to leave for any reason,
much less for something dangerous?
But he went out in the path of
Allah Ta'ala and he planted the flag of
Islam in that place. That same Samarkand,
I went to Madrasa,
the 8 year Darshnizami course without a exaggeration.
Maybe something between 40 60% of the books
are written in the area of Samarkand. Just
one graveyard. Chakardiza,
the one kabristan in in Samarkand.
I can bring you a stack of books
heavier than one man can carry, just from
the number of ulama in one graveyard. And
these are not just random books. These are
the books that are read all over the
world.
The Hidayah,
Hahloo Hidayah is in Farhana, but he lived
and passed in Samarkand.
He wrote the 4 Mujalladaat, the 4 volumes
of the Hidayah.
Something like 7 or 10 years it took
him. He made a atikaf in the Masjid.
Every day he fasted, he stayed in the
Masjid continuously for so many years, and he
wrote that book. Why do people do that?
You don't have to fast in order to
write a book. Why? Because they have connection
with Allah ta'ala.
This is why his book is read from
the east until the west. It's a book
of Hanafi Fit. Everybody reads it though. The
shuruhat of the Hidayat, the Ottoman Turkish Scholars
are writing their commentaries on it. Hafiz ibn
Hajar As Kalani, the canonical commentator of Sahih
Bukhari.
He wrote a shahr. He's not he's a
shahr. He's not even a hanafi. He wrote
a commentary,
on,
on the Hidayah.
Nasbur Raya written by Zayla. Zayla is a
Somali.
You know Somalia? Is it close to Samarkand?
No.
Zayla I wrote a commentary on the Hidayah,
just one scholar.
Next to him, Taftazani.
Next to him, Imam al Hooda, Abu Mansur
al Mathuridi.
So many people, This is just a couple
of names. If I start naming that, everybody
is going to get bored very quickly, and
it's gonna become a long talk.
All of it is what? From the sacrifice
of those few people who came and planted
the flag. Did they know what's gonna happen
in the future? No. Do you know what's
gonna happen in the future? You also don't
know.
Maybe the people around us they also will
become Muslim, and they'll also make dua for
you people,
that used to pray salatul Eid and the
mariad.
When there's a big idga and a huge
masjid.
And they'll say, these people, their forefathers came
from Samarkand and from Bukhara and from Tashkent,
from Tirmiz.
They came from Pakistan and India, from Arabistan,
from Africa, from these places, and they brought
this message of La ilaha illallah. But it's
not automatic. It's not guaranteed.
How is it going to happen? You have
to work for it. You have to sacrifice.
If you tune into the system of materialism,
I'm just going to work 9 to 5.
I'm just going to work 5 days a
week. I'm gonna buy my money and then
I'm gonna buy a house and then after
that I'm gonna buy a bigger house and
then after that I'm gonna buy a bigger
house. Buy a house Alhamdulillah. No problem. Please
buy a house big enough for you and
your family
The next thing after that is not to
buy a bigger house
Buy a car. The next thing after that
is not to buy more expensive car
Eat food. Eat good food. Buy organic. Alhamdulillah.
But the point is not to go to
the more expensive restaurant that last year I
was poor. I only used to eat a
$100 meal, and now I eat $500 meal
because some guy throws salt on my food
like this.
No.
This is what? This is the slavery of
fools.
This is the slavery of fools. Our forefathers
weren't like that. Your children, send them to
school. Make sure that they learn math, make
sure that they learn science, make sure they
learn English, make sure they also learn the
Quran.
Send them to the madares, so that they
can sit and memorize the Quran. Memorizing the
Quran doesn't make anyone stupid. It actually makes
them smart.
It trains the memory and it makes them
excel in other
sciences as well.
Do for the sake of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala that you also have this vision in
your head. You know Timur, Marjemasha Samarkandis are
getting all the attention today. You know Timur.
Right?
Outside of Samarkand has it somewhat of a
different impression on people, but put him to
the side for a second. He conquered the
world, didn't he? He built Samarkand
in gold because of how much wealth he
brought home. He conquered the world. Once they
have all the money, what did they do
with it?
Mirza al Zubayk, what did he do with
all the money his grandson after his grandfather
passed away?
They built madrasas.
They learned knowledge.
Right? The ragestan square,
it's the place where people come, Muslim and
kafir. Kafir person doesn't know Allah or Isra
Surah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam They just come and
see, oh, look at the brick. Oh, look
at the squiggly writing. Looks so fancy. Right?
But do they understand the meaning of any
of it? Do they understand that on every
door is written, The ulema of my ummah,
that Rasul sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, The
ulema of my ummah are like the prophets
of Banu Israel.
Somebody who is an atheist, what does he
know who is the ummah and who is
ulamah and what is a Prophet?
That the Rasul sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, The
ulamah of my ummah are like the Prophets
of Bani Israel.
They're the ones who know how to talk
to Allah ta'ala.
They're the ones who know how to solve
your problems. They're the ones who know how
to turn your life around from chaos into
order. They're the ones who know how to
make your life worth living.
Mirza al Ubayk himself used to make service
of those people. All the emirs, they built
all these madais. Why?
Because when they had money, inshallah, all of
you guys who everybody wants money, alhamdulillah, mashallah.
There's some daresh here. Who doesn't want money?
Make dua for me. The rest of us,
all of us want money, alhamdulillah.
But when you get it, what do you
want to spend it on? You just want
to make TikTok videos?
Is that what you wanna do with it?
Those people, they got literally conquered the world.
What did they do with the money?
They knew nothing more valuable and nothing more
precious to
spend that money on except for what?
Except for ilm.
Except for what?
Except for elm. Every kind of elm.
The Madrasa Mirza'ul Ubayk, it's
a it's an astronomical observatory.
The tour guides tell everybody, Oh, look, you
can, you know, they knew the stars and
astronomy and science technology.
But next to that, what was taught as
well?
What did Allah ta'ala say? What did his
Rasul salallahu alaihi wa sallam say?
How do you clean yourself?
How do you buy and sell without cheating
people?
How do you buy and sell without oppressing
people?
How do you run a government without oppressing
people?
How do you be happy in this world?
And how do you be happy in the
hereafter?
Then after you know all of those things,
then when you look at the stars, then
it will benefit you.
If you don't know any of those
things, I promise you every star in the
sky a day will come, it's gonna go
blank. It's gonna go out. What then? What's
the point? What's the point of building observatory
then?
It's in the Quran, the same Quran we
read. The day that the stars are put
out, that their light stops.
What then? What are you gonna do then?
Alhamdulillah, mashal these madares. The reason they're beautiful
is not because of the gold in the
tiles and the fancy calligraphy,
or because they have a astrolabe that they
can look at the stars with.
It's because they know what to do when
they look right now,
and they will know what to do the
day even the stars go out, so that
they can save themselves and they can save
others. May Allah make this
gathering Mubarak.
May Allah
accept from us. If He accepted from any
of us, may Allah accept from us. May
Allah accept from our us our sacrifices.
May Allah give a bright future to our
children. May Allah
take away from our hearts the garbage of
the love of things that that died,
the garbage of the love of things that
are harmful for us. And may Allah ta'ala
fill our hearts with the nur of those
things that are everlasting,
those things that are beautiful. And may Allah
look at us from amongst all of His
creation, and say that these ones, their forefathers
were Mine as well, and they also, they
belong to Me as well. I will keep
them, and I will keep their honor in
this world and the hereafter, so that we
can also look to Allah ta'ala and say,
You Allah, keep our honor in this world
and the hereafter.
