Said that the will
leave, go outside, turn around, and come back
to Hijaz.
Like a snake
goes,
out and then turns around and comes back
into,
its burrow.
What is Al Hejaz? Al Hejaz is the
western part of the Arabian Peninsula.
It's where is. It's where Madina Munawala is.
It says that the deen will go out
and come back to Hejaz
like a snake leaves its hole and then,
turns around and comes back.
And that the deen will seek refuge in
Hijaz,
like the mountain goat seeks refuge on the
top of the mountain. The same mountain goats
and, certain livestock, certain wild animals.
When they're afraid of something, they will climb
up to the highest place that they can
go, in order to seek refuge. And likewise,
it will be that one day the the
deen will seek refuge,
back in Hejaz,
like the, like the mountain goat,
seeks refuge on the top of a mountain.
And, and then, he says sallallahu alaihi wasallam
that the Deen started as a strange matter
and that one day will come when it
will be strange again, when people will
find the customs of the deen, whether it
be not killing your children, whether it be
chastity, whether it be family, whether it be
respecting elders,
whether it be even the belief in Allah
Ta'ala
and his messengers alayhum salatu as salam. All
of these things for
such a large period of time, they were
the norm for for people. They're the norms
for Muslims and for non Muslims, and many
non Muslims are the norm for them because
of the defect and the
the
impression that Islam left on them. You know,
we don't we underestimate sometimes the impression that
Islam has left even on Christianity and on
Judaism.
There are a lot of things in in
Christianity for example.
There is a movement of people they call
iconoclast that wanted to remove all the icons,
pictures,
statues, etcetera from the churches, and they considered
the victory that Allah gave the Muslims over
over the Christians in the early times to
be because of the idolatry, the pagan idolatry
that they brought into the religion.
There are,
movements, in Judaism that are very similar also.
Maimonides, Musa Bin Meimun, he's the great rabbi
of the Jews.
They say that he's the 2nd Musa after
Sayidina Musa
to to them after him. He's the most
important Musa that they've had.
His works on Aqidah are all in Arabic,
and they're almost wholesale,
they're almost wholesale copies of the works of
Imam Khazali
which we don't have a problem. We consider
this to be a sign that Allah enlightened
our
and put it on their tongues, that other
people also recognize it as well. We don't
have a problem with that in any way,
shape, or form.
But, you know, we underestimate that that effect
that we had. But just like
deen and just like the worship of Allah
and just like good character and good values,
became the norm for a while, near the
end of time they will start to become
strange again like they were strange before
the the the deen came. So Allah ta'ala's
Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
says so glad tidings to strangers.
People who practice Islam and who fear Allah
to Allah and emulate his Nabi
and they find themselves
ostracized or they find themselves not fitting in
with the group, good glad tidings, good news
for you if you're one of those people.
And he says, who are those?
Who are those strangers?
They are the ones that that rectify and
that repair
those things that the generality of the public
and the generality of the population have destroyed
from my sunnah after I leave. And
tidings is something that everyone of us should
look forward to. This glad tiding is something
everyone of us should look forward to. We
should have in our hearts some raghuqa and
some hamasa and some some sort of desire
and excitement,
and hope
that we also, Allah Ta'ala, uses us to
bring back the sunnah of the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam after the people have destroyed it.
It's something that that all of us should
look forward to. And it's also
a a kind of an indication to us
that, you know, when the sunnah of Nabi
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is put put forth,
it's not always legally obligatory to follow the
sunnah, but one shouldn't just be like, oh,
this is just a sunnah. 1 should have
some raghbah for it, some sort of excitement
for it even if you're not able to
practice it
yourself on your on your limbs, at least
you should have some sort of love for
it and honor for it and and and
and and,
you know, raise its place inside of your
heart.
At least you should have that in your
heart so that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, inshallah,
may make us amongst those goraba, amongst those
strangers in this world that,
rectify the sunnah, the practice of the sunnah
of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam after the people have destroyed it. May
Allah give all of us so much tawfiq
wa
sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam.
