All praises to Allah.
All praises to Allah.
All praises to Allah who guided us to
this,
who guided us to Islam
and to iman
and to the Mubarak house on this Mubarak
hour of this Mubarak day of this Mubarak
month.
And we were not to be guided, was
it not that Allah had guided us?
Oh, Allah, to use praise as these dimensions
of the majesty
of your countenance
and the grandness of your authority.
Oh, Allah, we do not limit you with
any praise we can come up with ourselves.
Rather, we admit that it's only you who
knows the true extent of your praise worthiness.
And may the peace and blessings of Allah
be upon your
and upon his noble companions and upon his
pure wives
and upon his Mubarak family and progeny
and upon all of those who follow all
of their way until the day of judgment.
Alhamdulillah by Allah's father.
In the sacred lands.
Some are
already there.
Some
are leaving
and preparing to leave as we speak, and
some will leave very shortly.
By Allah the
Those
acts of worship, those acts of sacrifice,
those
sacred
pilgrimages
that are associated with our father Ibrahim alaihis
salam.
Now is a time that
their is going to be made. They're going
to be shown to the world.
Allah
never left his creation without guidance.
The messenger of Haram
originally referred to a sacred boundary that was
around the Kaaba itself.
The original Kaaba that was sent down to
this world
was not built by Sayna Ibrahim alaihis salam.
Rather,
Sayna Adam alayhi wasalam, when our father, when
he was sent down into this world,
and he
complained to Allah ta'ala the pain of separation.
He would make dua, he said in Jannah.
I felt no separation between you and between
me.
Here, I made dua,
and I know that you're there, and I
know that you hear me, and I remember,
but the same feeling isn't there. I feel
separated and I feel far from you.
Look, being from up near and far from
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, it's not a spatial
issue.
You understand what I'm saying? It's not a
spatial issue. You have a relative.
They live in Itasca. That's near.
You have a relative. They live in Mongolia.
That's far.
This is a special issue with the creation.
With Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, that's not what
near and far means.
He's with you wherever you are.
He's closer to a human being than the
person's own carotid artery.
It's not an issue of near and far,
spatially.
But what is it?
It's a feeling that a person has inside
of their spiritual heart.
That is, I feel far from you.
This is causing me anxiety. It's causing me
problems.
Just like it's causing us anxiety.
Just like it's causing people around us anxiety.
Why do you think it is that people
are so busy trying to make money?
Why is it that people are obsessed with
houses and cars?
Why is it that people are obsessed with
power?
It's because they have needs.
Those needs need to be fulfilled. Those needs
are fulfilled by the rasaq, the one who
gives risk to his entire creation, to the
provision to the entire creation.
People are vulnerable. They need protection.
Allah
He's the one that the protection comes from.
People need all sorts of things that that
the source of the things that everybody needs,
everything in creation, Allah. It's Allah
But because of this feeling of being separated,
they constantly we constantly have this anxiety that
we're trying to do all of these things
in order to
protect ourselves.
And it's like, you know, trying to get
ice on a hot day. It's all melting.
It's all going away in front of our
eyes. You know, no no matter how much
we get, it's all good to melt away.
The only source of these things that we
need is Allah Ta'ala.
Our father said that, Adam,
he came from Jannah. He knew all of
this in a way that
few people will be aware of. Allah crowned
him with his nubuwa even when he sent
in here that he would receive wahi from
Allah
But still he complained of this separation.
So the original Kaaba was what? It was
a celestial Kaaba. It was a part of
Jannah that was brought down into this world.
Allah commanded and he said, yeah, Adam, when
you come to this place,
come with a special ada with adaab of
Jannah.
Don't cut your hair. Don't cut your nails.
Just like a person didn't do those things
in Jannah.
Don't answer the call of nature.
Don't do those carnal things that human beings
do with one another.
Come and remember me, and when you have
your needs that you have to take care
of, you can exit, and you can go
take care of it, and then you can
come back when you wish to.
The installation of the,
the black stone, let's now call the black
stone.
It's narrated by narrated by
That the Prophet
said that the Hajar Asad when it first
came down, it was white like milk.
And it were it was the sins
of people that made it black.
Obviously, you people are pious people. You come
to the masjid. I tell you that the
prophet
said this thing,
and you believe it.
Another person who is somewhat skeptical may say,
okay. Whatever. This is all the same
nonsense that religious people keep peddling.
That the sins of people turns up. White
stone, black. What does that mean? It's not
a stone like other stones.
Abdullah ibn
For most of his lifetime, in fact. He
was known as the Dahi of Quresh,
the intelligent one.
They're the one he sent him to go
and convince the of Abyssinia
to
revoke his refuge that he gave to the
companions
and to send them back in chains.
And he was about to do it. He
would have done it as well
if it wasn't for the Quran itself moving
the nuggets of in his decision.
Otherwise, he had convinced him. The deal was
in the bag.
He said he had the
agreed. And it was Saidah, Jafar bin Ali
Talib then convinced him, said, Aren't you gonna
listen to our side of the story? We
heard that you're a just king. Aren't you
gonna listen to our side of the story?
And then the case got reopened.
Al Aziz is a very intelligent man. He
was a hustler. He wasn't somebody that you
just pulled a hole over someone's eyes.
In particular,
it said that the when
it was
brought to this
Haram, as a gift from Jannah.
It was a part of Jannah.
That the nur, the light from it extended
in every single direction.
For nearly 50 miles,
where the people saw the light, that's where
the is.
You know the is yet to take a
haram before coming in? That the barakah of
that Hajar Aswad coming down to the world,
the Nur, it extended to those places. And
so the Arabs mark those places, that's where
the are.
They say it was white as white as
milk, whiter than milk. And that even a
person who's disabled physically had some sort of
physically irreparable injury, when they would make istilaam
of that Hajar. It would cure them of
their sicknesses.
In particular,
this is not from the transmission of the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. This is him
adding something on top of the hadith.
He said when the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam said it's the sins of people
that turned it black.
He said in particular
it's in particular
that the thing that turned it black was
what? When idols were brought into the Kaaba,
and people started worshiping those idols. It's not
just something normal that people did.
So that's when the the,
these these properties,
these properties of Jannah, they
cut off.
It's for
a person, the Risul Sallallahu Alaihi wa Salam,
reconsecrated that Mubarak house. We don't have the
celestial Kaaba there anymore.
When the flood of Sayyidunu alaihis salam came,
that celestial Kaaba that was in that place
was lifted up into a place that's mentioned
in the Quran
insurat At Tur,
as al Beit al Ma'amur.
It's lifted into a place in Jannah, which
is aligned with the Tibla, the arsh of
Allah
and
the tibla that we have on the earth.
And the angels make tamas, and the angels
pray over there. It's still there, somewhere.
Ibrahim Alaihi Salam, our father,
Allah
sent him to reconsecrate that
house. Sent him to reconsecrate that house, and
build it again, and call the people to
come and make pilgrimage to this place.
Said Ibrahim, alayhis salam, said, how can I
call the people? Who's gonna there's nobody here
that I can even call.
Allah
told them, you make the call, and the
message reaching
the horizons. This is my job. Your job
is just to call the people.
And he said that from the
the spirits from the
unborn children even,
that they heard the call, and they gave
ijaba. They answered the
call of Sayyidina Ibrahim and a person's ability
to make it to the sacred houses connected
with how
how
excited they were in answering that call.
That the one who answered the call with
fervor again and again, that one will go
and visit again and again.
The one who answered that call once, that
person will visit once.
These things are not absent from the world,
they're still there. There's a picture of the
Kaaba behind you right now. Don't you don't
have to turn around and look. You're literally
facing the Qibla right now.
You're facing the Qibla right now. Every people
have a set of stories that they tell.
Upon which the sensibilities of their people are
built. Upon the which the sensibilities of their
civilizations are built.
But these are the
These stories, these are
A, the lesson is good, but more importantly
than not, they are true. They actually happened.
It makes the people of Kufrin, it makes
the people of Nifak
upset.
What the young people would say makes they're
salty about it to this day.
Why?
Because people search up on their GPS. Where's
where's Starbucks? Are you gonna go get a
frappuccino after Jumah? Right? Don't drink so much
sugar. It's not good for you.
The technology for the GPS is all from
what? From the Muslims figuring out which direction
the tibla is.
They're salty about it to this day.
These Mubarak days these are the days of
the
that not only do we say that these
are stories. Like, so other people go and
watch Star Wars in the theater, Lord of
the Rings, Harry Potter, and God knows what?
Athens,
the the old city of Greece from which
Socrates and Plato and the ambia of the
civilization came
or what they consider to be what they
would consider to be ambia.
It's named after Athena. It's named after some
weird,
fake, fantastic
thing they made up inside of their head.
Whereas our Mecca is still there. People still
go for Hajj. The Acropolis was in ruins
for centuries.
Even they themselves know it's a joke. None
of them worshiped it.
The best they could do with the school
of peripatetic philosophy that came out of it
explained everything away as some sort of metaphor.
In fact, do you know who worshiped the
who who worshiped in the Acropolis, their big
temple in Athens after
its ruin?
The Muslims.
The Ottomans conquered conquered and
ruled Greece for so long. What the what
the territory of the modern nation state of
Greece is for so long.
Acropolis was in ruins. What did they do?
They rebuilt it.
They put a minaret on it, and that's
where Jum'ah used to be. People used to
go up the hill, and they used to
pray. You know how it's all ruined right
now?
That wasn't time that did that, and it
sure as heck wasn't the Muslims. The Muslims
actually upgraded it and make it made it
really nice, actually.
It was the Venetians when they tried to
siege Athens and take it over. They're the
ones they're the ones where do you think
ISIS learned it from? They're the ones who
bombarded the smack out of it. They weren't
even able to take it over. They just
destroyed it because they were salty that what?
The Muslims are using it for Jo'a'a.
If we can't have it, nobody can have
it.
Their churches go visit a church still to
this day.
The statues in the churches are not the
statues of the saints.
They're all the statues of their old Greek
goddesses and gods. They just said, oh, this
is saint this person, this is saint that.
Don't look compared the images. It's all the
same.
Our Ummah, however, literally the same, Hajar Aswah,
the people make a stilam of it.
Said Umar
who was not excited about this stone. Why?
Because he remembered in Jahiliya people used to
revere other stones.
So he told the people, in front of
the people he said, he said to this
stone, the Hajar Aswad, he said, Yeah.
Hajar Aswad, I know that you don't benefit
anybody, and you don't
harm anyone.
And if it wasn't that I saw the
Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam like
this, kissing you, I would not have done
it.
But this is the barakah of the ummah
of our prophet
that I was reading. I, myself, I started
6 weeks ago talking about Hajj, thinking when
will when will I make it again? Allah
made the thing. The visa came in literally,
the visa came in,
in my,
electronically,
and the ticket is being cut right now.
Insha'Allah, you probably won't see me for the
next 2 or 3, 5 days.
So I'm reading all the books of Manafi
to refresh my memory. Because people have all
kinds of questions over there, and there's still
no group guides anyway.
So
I I read, you know, like, Al Amir
is one of the later because it's important
to read the books of Hajj the the
Hajj guides from, like, early authors and later
authors
because things change. Sometimes the early authors talk
about something in the Haram Sharif that doesn't
exist anymore.
So Mohammed bin Mohammed Al Amir Azhar, he
wrote this,
monastic in, like, the 1800 sometime,
late 1800.
And so he mentioned this he mentioned this.
He says, it's quite possible that the Hajar
Aswath, the more barakah that you get from
it,
more even than the fact that a person
is what?
Kissing the stone that came from Jannah.
The Hajr Asrud is known in the
like the right the right hand of Allah
on the earth.
Obviously, Allah doesn't have a hand, but if
a person were to wish to kiss the
hand of Allah on the earth, this is
the this is how you you go and
do it.
He mentioned that the word yamin means barakah.
One of the meanings of the word yamin
is barakah. He says that the barakah and
the Hajjur Az was more because we know
the stone has nothing to do with Allah
to Allah at all.
But more barakah that a person receives from
kissing the Hajar Aswas is the fact that
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam kissed it,
and you also get to kiss it as
well. There's continuity. There's continuity.
This is a continuity brothers and sisters. It's
not only there. This is the entire point
of the
tie, which is going to end soon.
Build up is all for one one particular
point One particular point. That's of immediate relevance
to everybody here.
The particular
point of relevance is what? Is that the
continuity isn't there by talking about it.
The continuity is there by doing it.
This ease is coming up.
If you can make it go, perform your
Hajj in the best way possible and make
dua for me as well.
If you cannot make it,
make arrangements for your slaughter for your
Do it with your own hand.
If it means you have to take the
day off from work, take the day off
from work.
If you've never done it before, figure it
out and prepare for it. Talk to people
who have.
If it's somewhat scary for you, good.
More reward.
Take your children with you to go and
see it.
If you cannot do it without with your
own hand, still
send somebody, depute somebody to do
it. If it's expensive,
then no, nothing in this world that's worth
having is cheap. Allah gave it to you,
Allah took it from you.
The $350
that you're going to spend in order to
buy a lamb, a sheep, $400 you're gonna
things are expensive. These things, they the prices
have, like,
exploded in front of our eyes.
Even the normal non Muslim farmers in this
country, they know they know Eid al Abha.
And they even upped their prices just like
they upped the prices back home before
Eid. Someone's like, it's too expensive. You should
have bought elam 6 months ago and, like,
tied it up in your backyard. People keep,
cats and dogs in their houses. You can
keep elam. No one's gonna kill you.
Do it. Don't just talk about it. Do
it.
Don't be that guy that, oh,
Did you pray Fajr today, man? There are
many that did. Let's
do it. If you didn't, don't be that
guy.
Don't be that guy. Oh, I'm not a
all of our responses.
Hey. Did you pray father today?
Were you part of the solution? Were you
part of the problem? Or did you think
you're part of the solution because you thought
that you could make a tree with a
branch but has no trunk and has no
roots?
Do it. Don't just talk about it. Do
it. Every hair of the body of that
animal, that sacrifice, the Ibrahim sacrifice,
is a good deed. The horns are a
good deed. The blood will be accepted by
Allah before it hits the ground.
You should be happy about this. The messenger
of Allah
said that you should be happy about
this. On the day of judgment, these animals
will be your herd. You'll ride 1 of
them on the day of judgment, on the
day that the angels will be lashing with
whips. The disbelievers
blind into the place of judgement, you'll come
with, like, your huge entourage.
You should be happy about this.
Take the time, figure it out, and do
it. If it's expensive,
you know, figure it out and do it.
If it's difficult to take the day off,
figure it out and do it do it.
The barakah is not there for free. The
barakah is there for doing you do this
much. And then what happens? You get so
much benefit in this world, and my my
arms are not big enough to show how
much a person will get in the hereafter.
Don't waste the opportunity.
Don't just be a person who talks. Be
a person who lives
lives it in their life.
That the the rabbis, they refer to Ibrahim
alaihis salam as their father
as well,
and so do we.
But our father's
patriot our father's patrimony,
whose hands is it in?
It's in ours.
The Kaaba is in our it's it's in
our hands. If it was given to anyone
else other than this Ummah, other than the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
It's a masjid. It faces the It's
ours.
It's been malappropriated
now by force.
Otherwise, it was ours. If this Umma disappeared
from the world, which it's not going to,
you would watch, they would waste all of
these things again. And there are people in
our ummah, we would also waste it again.
Because what? There are some people who like
to talk, but they don't when it's time
to do things, they don't like to do
things. Brothers and sisters, you don't have to
make a Facebook post. You don't have to
put on Twitter, Instagram, check you don't have
to do any of that stuff. You don't
have to give a hootba about it.
Just do it. Just do it. Allah
give you tawfiq and give to me. Allah
accept from you and from me, and from
all of the hijaj, and from all of
the Umhasid
For those who it's difficult for them, Allah
give them and give them in order to
fulfill these Mubarak monastic in these Mubarak days.
So you can take a couple of minutes
for your sunnah.
