00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			hour, of this Mubarak day, of this Mubarak
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			month. And we were not to be guided,
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			was it not that Allah had guided us?
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			Oh, Allah to you is praise as is
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			commensurate with the majesty of your countenance
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			and the greatness of your authority.

			Oh, Allah, we do not limit you with
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11

00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			who knows the true extent of your praise

			And may the peace and blessings of Allah
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			subhanahu wa ta'ala be upon his servant and
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:24
			messenger. Our master, Sayduna Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			May the peace and blessings of Allah Subhanahu
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:29
			Wa Ta'ala be upon him and upon his

			noble companions and upon his pure wives and

			upon his and blessed family and progeny and
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:36
			upon all of those who follow all of
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			their way until the day of judgment.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			Brothers and sisters, by the humble of Allah
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			subhanahu wa ta'ala, we have reached the
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			end of the 1st 3rd of Dhulqada.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in his
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			divine calendar, in his celestial
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			calendar that he sent down to the mbyah
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:59
			alaihi wasallahu alaihi wasallam and down to our
		
00:03:59 --> 00:03:59
			Nabi sallallahu
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:00
			alaihi wasallam.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:03
			Out of the 12 months of the year,
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			he made 4 months
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06
			sacred.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			Those 4 months of
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			the month that we're currently in.
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13
			The month in which the pilgrims will make
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16
			Hajj of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's sacred and
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			blessed house.
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			And Muharram,
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			the month in which the pilgrims will return
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			to their homes.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			And then after that, Allah ta'ala made one
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27
			satellite month that's detached from the other three,
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			which is the month of Rajab, which is
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30
			2 months before
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			the the month of Ramadan.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:35
			This is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's ancient system.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			This is a system used to be observed
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			here in Jahiliyyah.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:41
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala made his blessed house,
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:42
			the Kaaba,
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:43
			as
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:44
			a
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			a place where the people gather together and
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			come together in a place of safety and
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			a place of security.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54
			We do not say that only say that
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:57
			Ibrahim Alaihi Salam or say that Ismael Alaihi
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:00
			Salam or say that Nabi Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			Wasallam made Hajj of the house of Allah
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:07
			Rather, the commandment for Hajj was something that
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			was established with sayydan Adam Alaihi Salatu Wa
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:10
			Salam,
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:13
			and it will not be abrogated until the
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			It will not be abrogated as long as
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			the people are
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19
			are alive, and as long as the name
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			of Allah is taken, as long as people
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:22
			say
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			in this world, until the Yomul Qiyama, it
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			will not be mansukh, it will not be
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			abrogated. In fact, this is an item of
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			our aqidah. This is a point of our
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			aqidah. Whoever reads the aqidah
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36
			which is a small and basic formulation. The
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			most basic formulation of the creed and the
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			belief of the Muslims,
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			which is agreed upon
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:44
			by every side of this ummah, by every
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			madhab from the madhab of firth, from every
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			madhab from the madhab of aqeedah,
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:49
			all of the people of the sunnah. This
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			is an agreed upon work and agreed upon
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			summation, summary of the beliefs of the Muslims.
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:57
			One of the beliefs of the Muslims is
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:00
			what? Is that the Hajj is not to
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:00
			be abrogated.
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			It is not It is not waived as
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			an obligation for this ummah.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			Not by the justice of a just ruler
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:10
			nor by the tyranny of a tyrant.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			Every in every year, there are some people
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16
			who are, obliged and obligated to go and
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			make Hajj in the house of Allah subhanahu
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			wa ta'ala. For those of you who are
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			familiar with the history of the Muslims, you
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			will know in the in the middle ages,
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			there was a
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29
			heretical, radical sect known as the
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			They took over Hijaz with They
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:35
			destroyed the Kaaba stone from stone and they
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			stole the black stone. They took the black
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39
			stone to their base in Bahrain
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			on the eastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula,
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			and they built another Kaaba over there, and
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			they put the black stone in it, and
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47
			they called the people, Come make Hajj in
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:50
			our Kaaba now. None of the Muslims obliged,
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			and the Muslims fought them, and they eventually
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:55
			retook 16 years. That there was no The
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			was broken stone from stone.
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			16
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:01
			years. No black stone. 16 years.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:02
			The the the is
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:05
			completely destroyed.
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07
			They called the people to make Hajj in
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:10
			their Kaaba in Bahrain, nobody went. Nobody went.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			And as the Muslims took hijaz over from
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			them, and as their political hegemony
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:15
			started to,
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			implode in on itself, what they did is
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			they said, fine. We'll give you the back
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			stone back, but you have to give us
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:22
			a ransom. A
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:23
			a
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			large payment in order for us to give
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:28
			it back to you. So some and some
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31
			some wealthy private individuals,
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:34
			they gathered the ransom money together. They paid
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:35
			the ransom money, and the black stone was
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			thrown into the Jamir Masjid of Kufa
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			in in in in Iraq
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			in a bag shattered in pieces.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			If you go to this day to the
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			Kaaba and you look at the black stone,
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			you won't be able to because there'll be
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:49
			too much rush. But if you see a
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			photo of it, what it is is it's
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			obsidian glass. You'll see it's shiny. It's not
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			like a rock. There are only small patches
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			of it that look like a rock. That's
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:00
			the fragments of the black stone. The the
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			artisans and smiths did the best that they
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04
			could. They made fashion silver nails, and they
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			drove them through the pieces that that were
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08
			remaining of the black stone to make it
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			one piece, and they put it in melted
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			glass so it would hold together, and that's
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:13
			what the people go and make the out
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			of this day. It's not all the black
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			stone when you touch it.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:20
			What's the lesson, however? Even in these 16
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			years, when there was no black stone, and
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24
			indeed there was no mastulul haram, and there
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			was no ka'ba either. The Hajj didn't stop.
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:28
			The people still came and visited the house
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:31
			of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. The people still
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			made tawaaf around the the the the the
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:36
			the place where the Kaaba should stand. The
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			people still went to Arafat even though there
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:39
			are very few and it was at the
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:42
			peril of death, oftentimes that people did it.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:42
			The
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:46
			the the will confirm to you this fact
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48
			that the was never cut off, the was
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:49
			never broken.
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:50
			I myself,
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			when I was in the university, I took
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:56
			classes in the Near Eastern Languages department. They
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			have people who teach Arabic that are not
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:00
			Muslims. They're not anywhere close to being Muslims.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			And they have very strange ideas about Islam,
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:02
			many of them.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			One of the teachers, he said, have you
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			ever read the tafsir bin Kathir?
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			From the the the tafsir that he gives
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:10
			for,
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:14
			Surat Taha, Surat Kasas. He mentions that the
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			say the Musa Alaihi Salam, he made Hajj
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:18
			when he was,
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			when he was wandering in the desert.
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			I said, yeah, I read that. He says,
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:23
			you know what? I'll tell you what? I
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			think it's true. He says, I think that
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:26
			the Mount Sinai
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30
			a
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34
			He says the Horab is if you look
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			in the in in the books of Tharif,
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			Horab is not in the Sinai Peninsula. It's
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40
			where it's in Tabuk. It's in it's in
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:41
			the northern part of Hijaz.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			It's by it's it's in the area that's
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			that's close to what's now Tabuk. He says
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			that, I believe that this is a ancient
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			tradition that's not something just that the Arabs
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:53
			used to keep. It's an ancient tradition that
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:54
			that was kept by all the
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:56
			to Islam.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			The name of the valley of Baqah. Baqah
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			is an old name of
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			Some of the say it's just
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:04
			The min becomes a
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:07
			ba. The min becomes a ba. And some
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			of the say that, no, it was called
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			Why? Because the the the root in Arabic
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:13
			language
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			means to cry. That this is the place
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:18
			that makes tyrants cry. Anybody who comes with
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			and with arrogance into this place,
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			will break them in half. This is why
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			the is a surah of
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			the
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			Quran. That a person with takabur came with
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:33
			his elephant, and he tried to destroy the
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			house of Allah Ta'ala, and Allah Ta'ala destroyed
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37
			him. To this day, for the person who
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:40
			goes on Hajj, the barrier between Muzdalifa and
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:40
			Mina,
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			it's a a barrier of a stone's throw.
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:44
			It's called.
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:49
			That is the place where the adab of
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			Allah ta'ala came down and the army of
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:53
			Abraha was destroyed.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			This place is a sunnah to this day
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			that when the Hajjaj walked through this place,
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:00
			they shouldn't walk slowly rather they should seek
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			refuge in Allah Ta'ala from his adab, and
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			they should go through it quickly as quickly
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			as they're able to as quickly as possible.
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			These ancient rights are established from the time
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:10
			of Sayidna Adam Alaihi Salam.
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			The mufassirins say Hajj alaihi
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			Salam
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:17
			made Hajj of the house during the flood
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18
			in his boat and he made tawaf around
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:21
			the Kaaba in his boat. If someone finds
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			this far fetched and difficult to believe, you
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:26
			can look up the the the historical pictures
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:26
			because
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			It's in the the navel of a valley.
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			It's the lowest point of a valley. So
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			when it rains, all the water drains down
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:35
			to where the Haram is.
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			And you'll see that the the the in
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:41
			Ottoman times, there's actually photos, pictures of the
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:41
			entire,
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			sun, the
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			filling up with water and people swimming around
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			the the Kaaba literally,
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49
			and making tawaf this way. That said, Nannu
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:52
			alayhi salam was commanded by Allah to take
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			his ark and to make tawaf from the
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			Kaaba. This is an an ancient right, and
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			it's a right that is not propped up
		
00:11:58 --> 00:11:59
			by any government.
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:02
			If the government stopped this day, if the
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			government stopped this day, do you think that
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			the red light will be be red and
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07
			the green light will be green anymore?
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:09
			No. If there's nobody to give, you know,
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			to run the power plant, then the traffic
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:13
			lights won't work anymore. The speed there won't
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:15
			be any speed limit the day the cops
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			stop
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:19
			using their radar. There won't be a bank
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			the day that the central reserve stops lending
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:24
			money to the your neighborhood friendly or unfriendly
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:27
			bank, depending on what your is regarding that.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:28
			There won't be any,
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			there won't be any, water running in your
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			faucets the day the government stops doing any
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35
			of these. All of these things will they'll
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			disappear. The day the government stops paying checks
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			to the teachers, there will be no school
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41
			to go to anymore for the children. What
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:42
			will they do? They'll come to the masjid
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			and they'll learn how to read Quran,
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:45
			which is what they used to do before
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:47
			the government paid the paychecks to the teachers
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:48
			who are teaching this day.
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:52
			All of these things are running through what?
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:55
			Through money and through the organization system of
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:55
			governments,
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:57
			and through the systems of power.
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:00
			The Hajj, the visitation of the house of
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			is definitely aided by governments. But if the
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:07
			governments disappear and the governments have disappeared at
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:10
			several points throughout the history of Islam, both
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:10
			before the
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:12
			and after
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			the Even if that aid should stop,
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:17
			the
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			the the visitation of the house of Allah
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:21
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, it never stops.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			It never stops. If you watch the they
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:26
			have literally a camera or several cameras
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28
			aimed at it. The the the Haram of
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:32
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Literally, the never stops.
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:34
			Even during the sacred hour of Jummah, when
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:37
			the is being given, still there are people
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:39
			coming in and circling the house of
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:41
			Even on the day of the Eid, when
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43
			the Eid Khutba is being given, there are
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:45
			people circling the house of Allah
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:48
			The only time that stops is for the
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50
			Fard prayer. For the Fard prayer 5 times
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52
			a day, it stops and everybody engages in
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			salat. And as soon as
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:00
			even for the it doesn't stop. For the
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:02
			of the people who died, still people are
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:04
			making tawaf around the house of Allah
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			As in this heavens,
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:09
			that's how it is in the earth. As
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:10
			in the of
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:11
			Allah in
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:15
			the heavens, The angels are constantly praying and
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:15
			making
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:18
			around the tibla, which is the point in
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:21
			from which the barakat and fiyu of Allah
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:25
			distributed. The rahmat of Allah distributed through the
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			through the through existence, and through all of
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:30
			the forms, and shades, and dimensions of existence
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:31
			Allah created.
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			Those few that we knew, those few that
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:35
			we know about, those few that we can
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			imagine, and those many that we never thought
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:40
			about and we could never imagine. Just like
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			that's happening in the heavens, this is a
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			faggle and barakah of Allah
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:46
			in the earth. He gave us the the
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			the the the permission
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:50
			and the honor to be able to fulfill
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:53
			these rights as human beings, as as physical
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:56
			beings, as animal like beings, that we can,
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			for some small part and for some small
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:01
			amount, participate in this heavenly and celestial
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			ritual that Allah
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:06
			made the order of his entire existence,
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:10
			run around and follow and submit to brothers
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:13
			and sisters. And he chose his elect and
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:16
			select servants to establish these rights and to
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:17
			establish these rituals.
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:19
			Say that Ibrahim Alaihi Salam,
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:23
			Say that Ibrahim Alaihi Salam,
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:25
			the patron of this
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:27
			Imam Abu Hanifa
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			according to most of the ulama was not
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			Abu Hanifa because he had a daughter named
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:33
			Hanifa.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:36
			Rather, he was Abu Hanifa. Why? Because he
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:37
			was Abu Hanifa
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:42
			He was the patron of the milah of
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:43
			Sayna Ibrahim Al Hanif.
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:46
			He was the patron of the of He
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:46
			was the patron of the of He was
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:48
			the patron of the
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:50
			of And the
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:53
			was the paragon,
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			the prime example, and the prime exemplar of
		
00:15:56 --> 00:16:00
			the of Sayna Ibrahim Alayhi Salatu as Salam.
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:03
			This is the that we carry. It's the
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:05
			that many people make the claim that they
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:08
			represent, but very few people are actually able
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			to represent. It is the claim to carry
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12
			the of Sayedna Ibrahim that many people,
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:14
			claim to represent,
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:16
			but we're the only ones by Allah to
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:18
			Allah's Fadl who we actually represent it.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			Don't the yahood claim that they are also
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:24
			the of Ibrahim alaihi salam? Don't the Nasara
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			also claim that they are the of Ibrahim
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:27
			alaihi salam?
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			The Muslims also claim that they represent the
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			of Sayna Ibrahim alaihi salam.
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:34
			Just look at this Eid which is coming
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:36
			up in front of us. This Eid is
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:37
			a sacred day, it's a holy day for
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:38
			all of
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:40
			us. It's a holy day and a sacred
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:42
			day for all of us as Muslims. The
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44
			other two parts of the millah have forgotten
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:47
			about it. They've forgotten about it. If you
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:48
			read,
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:49
			Jewish theology,
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:51
			if you ask a rabbi next time there's
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			an interfaith discussion,
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:55
			they talk about the
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:59
			occasion of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala commanding said
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:00
			that Ibrahim to
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:03
			sacrifice his son.
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:05
			They talk about it. In Hebrew, they call
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:06
			it
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:09
			the Right? In Arabic means to tie something,
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:12
			to bind something. Right? The is the the
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:13
			the binding or the tying of
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:17
			The the the tying of him to be
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:17
			sacrificed.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			Obviously, the there's 2 opinions amongst the Muslims
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			that was it or was it The Ishaq
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:23
			alaihi
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
			salaam?
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:26
			The primary opinion in the mashhur and the
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			Mu'tamid opinion amongst our ulama is that it
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:31
			was Sayna Isma'il alaihi salaam. Sallam. There is
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
			an opinion that is narrated by the sahabar
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:35
			of the Allahu Anhu as well that it
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:37
			was supposed to be Sayna Isha Alaihi sallam.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:40
			At any rate, it's irrelevant to the moral
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			of the story. And when talking to the
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:45
			yahud and the nasaara about this, don't let
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:46
			them catch you up on this point which
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:49
			is a detail. The detail is not relevant
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			to what the moral is. It's important, but
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53
			it's not a key, part of what the
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			story is, and it doesn't teach you the
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:56
			lesson that the story is trying to teach
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:59
			you. Why? Because they say, the reason it's
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:01
			Ishaq Alaihi Salam is because of his birthright
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:04
			and whatever, and the covenant goes with this
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			one, with that one. We're saying fine. You
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			will concede this point for the point of
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:08
			argument.
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:14
			That's fine. We'll conditionally say, okay, even if
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16
			it's Ishaq, alayhi salam, it doesn't affect the
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:18
			story. What is this story? Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:21
			ta'ala commanded Ibrahim, alayhi salam to sacrifice what
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:22
			was dearest to him.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:26
			Allah commanded Ibrahim alayhis salam to sacrifice what
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:27
			was dearest to him.
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:30
			And what did he do? He came with
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:33
			with camels and with with with with livestock,
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:34
			with animals, with property,
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:37
			sacrificed more and more and more, and tell
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:40
			the the vision, the dream, the commandment became
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:41
			clear to him that what does he have
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:44
			to do? He has to sacrifice
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:46
			that which is dearest to him, his only
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:49
			son. Sacrifice what? His only son.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:50
			Now,
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			this is the ancient world. This is ancient
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:53
			times.
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:55
			Nowadays, if you become hungry, what do you
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			do? You go to Giant Eagle,
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:00
			you go to Taco Bell, you go to
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			this place, that place. There's food everywhere.
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:05
			For those of you who've lived in the
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:06
			Badia before in the desert,
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:09
			even if you want to drink a cup
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11
			of tea, forget about a meal. If you
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:12
			want to drink a cup of tea, it's
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:14
			difficult enough where you're gonna get the tea
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:15
			from. It's all the way in China. Fine.
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:17
			Here's the tea right there. What do you
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:19
			have to do? Go out, chop
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:22
			wood, take a piece of cloth, tie it
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:23
			because it's not like there's trees out in
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:25
			the in the desert. Right? You have to
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:27
			take a and bind up brush essentially.
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			That brush, you have to start a fire
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:31
			with it. There's no matches and there's no
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:33
			lighter. It's very difficult to start a fire.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:36
			Then when the fire is going, if you
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			have a kettle, if you get water from
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:39
			the well, if you have the tea leaves,
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:40
			then you can make the tea.
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			It's a very difficult process that's just for
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:45
			a cup of tea, imagine for a meal.
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:48
			Now imagine a man is what? Sayna Ibrahim
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:50
			alayhi salatu was over the age of 80,
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:51
			first when he has his son, when he
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:54
			has Sayidna Ishmael Alaihi Salaam. If you say
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:55
			Sayidna Alaihi Salaam,
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:58
			then he's even older than that, and then
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:00
			give even even 14 years for the child
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			to become an adult. So someone is nearing
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:05
			a 100 years of age. Someone is nearing
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:07
			a 100 years of age, what is he
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:09
			going to do if he sacrifices his own
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11
			own son? When he the day he becomes
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:12
			sick, he's not going to be able to
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:13
			eat or drink anything?
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:15
			He's not going to no one's gonna be
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:16
			there to help him, to serve him? This
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			is a death sentence.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:20
			This is not what bothers Sayedid Ibrahim, alayhis
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:21
			salam,
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:24
			as much. What bothers him even more or
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:25
			what pains him even more, alayhis salam, is
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:26
			what?
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:36
			But it's the sacrifice of the deen because
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:38
			he had hoped that Allah Ta'ala will put
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:41
			in the in the seed of this child.
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:47
			That Allah will make from this child the
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			people who carry the risala, the message of
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:49
			amongst
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:52
			people so that it will not die, And
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:54
			that everything that these children do through their
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:56
			and through their salah and through their
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			and through their iman, it will be a
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:02
			a a a a. It will be a
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			treasure of of reward for say that Ibrahim
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:06
			and pride and happiness for him on the
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:06
			day of judgement.
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			All of this he's being asked to sacrifice.
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12
			Ask the rabbis about the akedah. What what
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:14
			will they tell you? They'll say, well, many
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:15
			of our rabbis say that,
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:18
			Abraham failed the test because God told him
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:20
			to do something that was unjust, and he
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			should have said to God, no. I'm not
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:22
			gonna do it.
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:25
			Is this are
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:28
			the there to teach you? They'll say this
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:29
			to you. This is not something I'm making
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:30
			up.
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			Are are they there to teach you about
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:33
			Allah? Are they there to teach you to
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:36
			ignore Allah? Are they there to make you
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:38
			love Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala? Or are they
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:40
			there to teach you to hate Allah Subhanahu
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:42
			Wa Ta'ala? Are they there to make you
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:43
			believe in his justice,
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:45
			to believe in his uprightness,
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			to believe in his order, to believe in
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:49
			his mercy? Or are you there to believe
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:52
			in making tawakkul and trusting on him? Are
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:55
			they there to make you question the one
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:56
			thing that you should never have to question,
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:58
			and to disbelieve in the one thing that
		
00:21:58 --> 00:21:59
			you should always be able to believe in?
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			Brothers and sisters, with all due respect, obviously,
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:02
			our,
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:05
			our our brothers and sisters from the,
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			we give them the due respect that every
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			human being gives, and we always say that
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			every human being should be treated with a
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:14
			basic modicum of respect and with rights. But
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:16
			in the Midan, in the field of theology,
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:17
			this is completely
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:18
			bankrupt.
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:19
			This is if you're
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			are you this is your expectation from them,
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24
			then what do you expect from your from
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:25
			your regular people?
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:27
			What do you expect from them that their
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:30
			with Allah will be? No. Rather, what do
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			we say as Muslims? We say, Sayna Ibrahim
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:33
			passed the test.
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			Sayidna Ibrahim passed the test because Allah
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:39
			is the only one who has the right
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:41
			to be loved for who he is, and
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:42
			his order is to be obeyed because he
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:45
			is the one who gave it. And Allah
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:46
			told say to Abraham
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:48
			to sacrifice
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:51
			to sacrifice who? Sacrifice the one who is
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			dearest to him, and he did it. He
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:54
			did it, and Allah
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:58
			accepted that from him, and Allah loved him.
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:00
			What is the of the believers? What is
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:02
			the the descriptor of the believers?
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:03
			Right?
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			So, the people who come after the and
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:20
			the Ansar, Allah says in his book, their
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22
			description will be that they are the people
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:24
			who say, oh our lord, forgive us and
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			forgive those who came before us in faith,
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:28
			and don't put in our hearts ranker toward
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:31
			those who believe. Oh our lord, indeed you
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:33
			are most kind and most merciful. And what
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:35
			is the sifa of the people of Kufr?
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:36
			What is the description of the people of
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:37
			Kufr?
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:43
			Every time an of people enter into the
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:44
			* fire,
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:46
			they will they will curse the people who
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:48
			came before him. This is why this is
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:49
			our aqidah,
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:51
			that the best of generations are the ones
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:53
			who are are saw and and and took
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:55
			Islam and deen from the prophet
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:01
			Then those who came after, then those who
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:03
			came after. Anyone who says
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:06
			doesn't have love for those people who came
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:07
			before,
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:10
			that person, there's a There's a crookedness inside
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:13
			of their imam. So look, what is the
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:14
			real? The same story that
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:17
			have, the same story that we have.
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:19
			What is
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:21
			their Their is that that saying that Ibrahim
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:23
			was wrong, and Allah was wrong.
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:25
			What is our taweel? Allah is right and
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:28
			he can never be wrong, and sayin Ibrahim
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:29
			stay stuck stuck with Allah
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:32
			and he's right. What? We have love for
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:33
			those who came before us and we follow
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:36
			in their path. Not only in the correct
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:38
			interpretation of the story, but more than that,
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:40
			those people who claim that we are the
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:51
			With us, it goes even further than that.
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			Because the Eid is not something that we
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:53
			celebrate.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:55
			The Eid is something we do with our
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:56
			own hands.
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			Understand that the Eid is not something we
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:00
			celebrate.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			The Eid is something that we do with
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:02
			our own hands.
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:05
			Who is the person who knows more about
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:08
			basketball? The commentator on ESPN who knows the
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:11
			stats of every single player or LeBron himself
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:12
			who knows how to dunk the ball?
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:14
			You can talk about the game on TV
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:16
			all you want. If you don't know how
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:17
			to play, you don't know how to play.
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:20
			Brothers and sisters, the dean, this is one
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:22
			of the unique and strange blessings of this
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:22
			dean.
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:24
			We're not commentators.
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:26
			We're actually playing the game right now ourselves.
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:29
			And this ummah by Allah's even if I
		
00:25:29 --> 00:25:31
			as an individual am not good at it,
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:32
			there are many people in this ummah that
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:34
			are very good at it by Allah's and
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:36
			their source of inspiration and barakah for all
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:37
			of us.
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:40
			The Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:51
			The one who finds the ability to sacrifice
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:53
			on the day of Eid, and that person
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:55
			does not sacrifice,
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
			there's no point in that person
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:59
			attending our Eid prayer, attending mussala,
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:01
			to say
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:03
			the in the morning, and to hug people
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:04
			2 times and 3 times, and all of
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:07
			these things. No point. No point at all.
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:09
			Why? Because this Eid was a Eid for
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:11
			Sayid Ibrahim alayhi salam. Because of his sacrifice,
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:13
			Allah accepted from him.
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:17
			Allah doesn't accept from anyone except for the
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:19
			ones who feared him.
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:22
			For the person who Allah accepts his sacrifice,
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:23
			for that person it's
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:26
			For the person who doesn't even give the
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			sacrifice in the first place, what are you
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:30
			there to celebrate, brother? Why are you here?
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:32
			You showed up to the wrong place. You
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:33
			showed up to the wrong
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:34
			place. Allah
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:37
			asks from all of us great sacrifices.
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:39
			The deen is not easy. The deen is
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:40
			not easy.
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:44
			Is this easy?
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:47
			Struggle in the path of Allah ta'ala as
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:48
			is this right that you struggle.
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:50
			Is his right small or is it great?
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:53
			It's not just great, it's absolute. It encompasses
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:55
			everything in the heavens and the earth. It's
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:56
			impossible to fulfill.
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:04
			And Allah didn't put any any difficulty in
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:05
			the deen for you. Meaning what? Not that
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:07
			the deen is easy. The deen is difficult.
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:10
			But the reason there's no haraj is because
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:11
			he's the one who's there to help you.
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:13
			Look at the story of Sayna Ibrahim Alaihi
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:14
			Salam.
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:17
			He takes his son
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:18
			to,
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:21
			sacrifice him. Sayna Ismaila Alaihi Salam says to
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:24
			his father, oh my father, when you bind
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:26
			me, make sure you bind the the ropes
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:28
			tightly, and bind me facing down
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:30
			so that you don't look at my face
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:33
			and feel mercy and hesitate in in executing
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:35
			the command of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:39
			Shaitan tries to tempt to say that Ibrahim
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:41
			and he doesn't take it. Say Shaitan tries
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:43
			to tempt say that Ismael and says your
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:45
			father old man is crazy. He's gonna kill
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:46
			you. You know that?
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:55
			Or sorry, the mother of Sinai Ishmael and
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:57
			the grandmother of our Nabi alaihis salam,
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:01
			and she doesn't take it. What happens?
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03
			That he binds and he says, bind me
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:06
			facing down so that mercy doesn't overcome you,
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:09
			and you involuntarily are unable to fulfill the
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:10
			commandment of Allah
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:13
			Then what does he do? He he he
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:15
			runs the knife over the throat of his
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:17
			son. He actually runs the knife over the
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:19
			throat of his son, and he says,
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:25
			He runs the knife. Can you imagine that?
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:27
			He runs the knife. He actually runs the
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:29
			knife over the throat of his son. Mufassareen
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:31
			said that Allah ta'ala, it's a miracle that
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:34
			Allah ta'ala made his throat hard like copper,
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:36
			like metal, so that it wouldn't go in.
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:37
			But he actually runs the knife through the
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:38
			throat
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:41
			of his son. Right? It says
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:43
			say that he's running, he's saying
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:46
			when he's cutting the throat of his son,
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:48
			and the angel Jibril comes down at that
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:50
			moment. And he says to him
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:52
			to get his attention. And
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:53
			says
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:56
			he's not paying attention. He's just so engrossed.
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:57
			He's so engrossed
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:01
			in the act that he's doing. The act
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:02
			of sacrifice.
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:05
			And then afterward, Sayna Sadat Jibril says
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:08
			again to get his attention.
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:10
			And Sayyidna smiled and realized, hey. I'm not
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:11
			dead. And he says.
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:13
			He says what? He says.
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:16
			This entire this entire thing we reenact in
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:18
			our own lives. It's not the sacrifice of
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:20
			Sayedna Ibrahim. He did his sacrifice.
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:26
			They did their sacrifice, now it's time for
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:27
			you to make your sacrifice, time for me
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:28
			to make our sacrifice.
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:30
			The one who does it.
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:39
			The son of Adam in those 3 days
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:41
			because the holy months, the
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:43
			are the most sacred months in the year.
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:46
			And from amongst them, the most sacred month
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:48
			is the month of Dhul Hijjah. And from
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:51
			amongst them, the most sacred the most sacred
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:52
			days are the first 10 days of Dhul
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:55
			Hijjah. And from amongst them, the sacred most
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:57
			sacred day is what? The 10th of Dhul
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			Hijjah. And in that day, what is the
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:02
			most sacred act a person can do? It's
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:03
			a hadith of the messenger of Allah sallallahu
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:05
			alaihi wa sallam that the son of Adam
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:07
			will not do any action. More beloved to
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:09
			Allah ta'ala on the tenth of Dhul Hijjah
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:11
			than spilling the blood of sacrifices.
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:21
			That that sacrifice will come. It will be
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:23
			made to live again, and it will come
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:25
			and bear witness on your behalf on the
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:26
			day of judgment.
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:29
			With its with its horns and with its
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:31
			hair and with its hooves.
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:33
			It comes in a narration. That what?
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:37
			That that literally that the the hasher. The
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:39
			people who have to walk long distances to
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:41
			the place of judgment. That the people sacrifice
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:44
			will literally ride the the animals that they
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:44
			sacrifice
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:46
			on the on the day of beef. On
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:48
			that day, it will be something that will
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50
			aid them and will lighten their load on
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:53
			that day. It will come. Every single hair
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:54
			on the body of that animal will be
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:56
			counted as a good deed. Every drop of
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:58
			blood from that animal will be counted as
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:00
			a good deed. The horns will be counted
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:01
			as a good deed. Every part of that
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:02
			animal will come
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:04
			as a good deed.
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:11
			And that blood that is shed from that
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:12
			animal,
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:14
			it will it will find a place with
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:16
			Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Meaning, Allah will accept
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:18
			it so quickly. It will find a place
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:21
			with Allah Ta'ala before it even finds a
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:22
			place on the earth for it to land.
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:33
			So oh, Yeah. Oh, you who believe, oh
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:35
			gathering of the believers, oh gathering of the
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:38
			Muslims, be happy about that. Be happy about
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:39
			that. This is
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:42
			This This is the reason Imam Abu Hanifa
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:45
			and his companions, they considered the the sacrifice
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:46
			on the to
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:49
			be to be from the wajibat of deen.
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:51
			This is the reason that the other imams
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:52
			all considered it to be a very heavily
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:55
			emphasized sunnah. It's a wajib that's very easily
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:57
			fulfilled by the one who wants to fulfill
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:59
			it. May Allah give all of us tawfi.
