Awafiro in
Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wa Barakatu ala Alhamdulillah Asmaa,
a very,
very warm welcome to each and everyone on this auspicious day of
yongul Juma, in this auspicious month of Rabi ul owul, the month
of the month of the birth of Rasulullah.
Today, we have
none other than the honorable Sheik Ihsan polim, who is not
actually a stranger to this Masjid. He's just been a bit
absent for a while, but we welcome him in our midst. He's a long
standing lecturer at gipsa, so without any further words, I call
upon the honorable chair. Forget
the
football, redeem Miss Miller. Rahim Alhamdulillah also that ASU
Lila sallavatu lahiwas, any
efcoli, but
then honored, respected him of the mash Dil Habibi, and our beloved
and honorable elders, our fathers and mothers who are present, and
our dear and respected Brothers and Sisters in Islam, I greet you
all and Our innocent children, Assalamu Alaikum. Wa Rahmatullah
here.
I cannot
be more confirmed that I am at measure of Habibi than to listen
to this blessed opening of the khutbah, which is of the peculiar
traits of majdul Habibi not found anywhere else
Allah, blessed, abundantly. God, you help instead.
Alhamdulillah, beloved brothers and sisters in Islam,
we thank Allah for this grace and honor in his house on this day of
Jumar. We send our love in our salams in Salawat upon.
Will foremost lead our beloved Rasul, sallAllahu, alayhi wa
sallam upon him and his noble families, companions and friends
and all those who follow His divinely inspired tariya PA and
sunnapa until the final hour. And we pray that Allah, subhana wa
Taala inspire our heart, all of us, with this burning desire to
want to follow him in the essence, the essence of his message. We
emphasize the word essence, because we're living in times
where people, human beings, are very preoccupied with outward
appearances, and then we lose what is at the core of what we should
be concentrating on.
And so the Sunnah of beloved SallAllahu, a salon the following
his example and to live as a Muslim is really one of those
important things that we have to consider what what are the
essences of things, and not confine ourselves only to what
appears outwardly
there can't be a more futile occupation than to preoccupy
ourselves with something that's got to do with the shell, but we
discard that which has to do with the essence and the kernel.
And so our beloved sub Allahu, alayhi wa sallam, as we are very
blessed to witness his birth month, because rabbi or as his
birth month is the opportunity for us to just reflect and introspect
more, to become more conscious
and the reality is, is that we want to then also reflect on what
is this essence that we are talking about? Because if Allah,
who is a Rahman and who is arahim, who is compassion and mercy is
infinite. Allah
in the Holy Quran on the tongue of our beloved Salallahu, alayhi wa
sallam, a chance museni cannot be a more primary descriptor,
adjective SIFA for Allah than mercy,
and that his mercy is infinite and knows no bounds.
And if Allah subhana wa taala, who is our Rahman or Rahim, and ALLAH
SubhanA wa Taala is 99 names that were referenced in the Holy Quran,
then if Allah says wama or salami, and we
all know the meaning of this verse,
but is even in its mere construction, you will find that
the linguists in the Arabic language will go to length, and
also in the discipline of Usul, because Usul is about the
principles of interpretation of the text of the Quran and of the
Hadith and all of that. So what are these interpretation,
foundations, principles and so forth. Has a lot to do, of course,
with understanding the Arabic language.
And so they will say that even this construction of the worst is
not left without its ultimate purpose of wanting to convey that
he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, is Allah's gifted Mercy unto all of
the worlds. And that that mercy in itself, also,
we can't say is infinite, because infiniteness belongs only to
Allah,
but that it is so overwhelmingly comprehensively understood that
the realm referred to that construction as being a nakira
tufiyaki and AFI physiaki
and nakira physiak in Nafi mouth and nakirafi See yakin Nafi. So
the word Rahma is nakira, which means it is not moral. It is
indefinite, and the construction or the context of the verse is in
the negation. Wamah al sad, we have not sent you except as
Allah's gifted Mercy unto all of the worlds that conveys the
meaning of absolute generalization,
and that it contains and contemplates of no exclusions or
exceptions,
and that is mercy is encompassing of all.
And so our beloved SallAllahu, Alaska, Allah subhanahu Watani in
the Holy Quran, in many ways, but this is one of the preeminent ways
in which he is being described.
Of those are also fabimatin, mean Allah helim. Had it not been for
Allah's mercy, you would not have been able to have this
temperament that you have towards them, towards your belief, your
fellow believe, your fellow companions, your fellow your
followers, etcetera, which is one of lean. In other words, it is of
kindness and generosity and consideration and all forms of
goodness. Link,
telehonta, father in holy and so had you been Muhammad hard of
heart? Had your heart been hardened? Had you been a person
whose character is a bit, you know, on the on the side of
inflexibility and rigidity and so forth, you would have found the
people would have dispersed away from you.
So these are the qualities which Allah is. So I'm wanting to ask
the question for us today,
if he SallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam had then been described in this
way,
what would be his focus? What would be his prioritization for us
here today? How would he prioritize our lives today?
Remember his wife said ahadija At the time of the first revelation.
This is also instructive, because Allah choose him, Allah's best of
creation, because these qualities that we are referencing, in fact,
he manifested prior to noble word,
because at the time when he ran unto the arms of Saint mahadeja,
because he feared for himself, did I lose my mind with that first
experience of Jibreel in the cave of Hira,
he needed her consolation and her comfort, and she says unto him,
Kala Wallahi, lay your Zika love a
most definitely not you should not worry your LORD shall never, ever
visit you with disgrace or humiliation.
Why not?
For a neck
him?
What does tukul Hadith?
What the hamilul can?
What taxi will? Mardu, what
we're in?
This is who you are. Oh. Muhammad. SallAllahu, alas,
it's impossible. Don't fear
so. You are the one who, in any case, mend the ties of the
families who want to break themselves from you. You Mend the
ties. You are the one that honor and bring forth the hospitality to
you guest. You are the one that carry the burdens of the orphans
and the the widows?
What tahmill
You carry the burdens of the poor, not the poor, the weak and the
vulnerable, the weak and the vulnerable? What taxi will do, and
you provide for the destitute and the poor. You provide for them.
You also
come to the aid of all the causes of justice.
You stand in alignment with you align yourself with the cause of
Haqq and justice.
If he SallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, may the DUA Oh Allah,
make me live amongst the poor.
Make me die amongst the poor.
Resurrect me on the day of Tiama. Amongst the poor. Is
it because they're poor? Not per se, it's because those are the
vulnerable in society,
and those are the ones that the wicked and the powerful and the
wealthy who are wicked, who are tyrants, which we see in the world
today, which we saw in history, which are the examples of your own
in them, ruler than all of them,
they exploit.
The poor.
They take advantage of the poor.
That is what the predominant system in the world does today.
It exploits the poor.
It takes advantage of those who are vulnerable. It steals the hack
of those who can't fame for themselves. This is the dominant
system of the world today. So would he? SallAllahu, alaihi
wasallam, would have been hanging out
with the rich and the famous,
the wealthy and the powerful.
Would they have been hanging out with them? I
would we have been in his crowd,
or would we have looked down like they looked down on his crowd.
They looked down on his crowd.
They all in history look down on the crowd of the prophets. He's
not a king, he's not the most powerful, he's not the richest
amongst us. Why should he be the Prophet? Why should he be the
king?
They all did the same. Would we have been different
if we are only preoccupied with the outward appearances of Islam,
would we have been different
for you? SallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam says, What do
For indeed, fear
be aware, beware of the dua of the victim of injustice
in nahula Sabin Allah hijab, who says No screen between it and
Allah,
but listen to His word. SallAllahu, sallam, further,
wainka, nakafiron,
even if that victim of injustice is a disbeliever in Allah,
Allah Shal
accept his dua. But
Amen.
So in our times today, it is difficult,
because we have all of these things that we're just talking
about where the prophet would have been hanging out,
you would have been hanging out.
But we aren't there.
We are hanging out with the other crowd,
this whole Masjid here, people, all of us, by the Grace of Allah,
Hidayah,
all of us in this Masjid. We worship Allah.
We don't perform Salah differently.
We are
aware that we would want to protect ourselves from the
environment and safeguard our Islam,
but is our concept of Islam that we want to save God in alignment
with the essence of the Sunnah of Muhammad,
or is it about our egos?
Is it about our vested interests?
Is it that we want to look out for number one and the family of
number one?
Is it that we want to serve the interest of our group
and our crowd,
or are we doing the bidding of Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa
sallam, whom the Most Merciful, said that I have not sent thee O
Muhammad, except as my gifted Mercy unto all of the worlds.
Shahram asked me to just mention our
ustava Qaradawi, who passed away,
rachan was here
his entire life. Was about trying to bring about this balance. And
this was Althea
of how we bring together
the considerations of our faith and our commitment to Allah visa V
our considerations of this world and our responsibility to our
fellow human beings that was his entire life and how.
We stand in support of Nawa. It will hack the causes of justice.
We cannot be a community. And I'm just going to take a wild guess
that in this Jamara here today, we have some serious, probably the
most highly qualified and the highly most highly positioned
leaders in South Africa represented in this Masjid here
today.
And with that comes massive responsibility,
because we have the access to mobilize and to release the
means of facilitation and to bring relief and to bring assistance and
to provide means to the most poor and the most vulnerable in society
that others do not have,
simply By virtue of where we are located and positioned
the problem. The major problem is it that we as an ummah are
suffering from a massive crisis, and that crisis is a crisis of an
intellectual kind, because we are not making less Allah. We
we are not observing less rituals of the deen of Islam. We are doing
all that stuff,
but it's not driving us to what he SallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, by
the testimony of Sayyidina, Khadijah started his mission with
not building up to that. His mission block starting block
number one was and
he built from there,
after he became the person whom Allah had chosen for humankind as
Allah's gifted mercy to the world,
the crisis that we are sitting with has then resulted in the
Twin crisis of a leadership crisis,
because if we should take the leadership potential of every
believer in Allah in this Masjid alone today,
it's a platitude. It's a I don't want to come and talk about
platitudes to say we can move mountains.
This power that resides here
is dormant.
This power that resides here, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam's
criteria would say, is laying stagnant
because we are not deploying that potential
to the degree that we are obliged to
for the upliftment and the development of our fellow human
beings
that was his life. SallAllahu,
and that
comes with a Manna and accountability on the Day of
Qiyamah,
because Allah Salim says he won't allow you to move a foot
unless he asks you about four things.
And we know all what those four things are.
And those four things are about people who have mobility,
not people who are down on the ground, people who have way with
them, who can achieve things, who can facilitate things, who can
make things happen.
So that leadership crisis emanates from the fact that, unlike what
Allah insists in the Holy Quran, that this notion of
and Sheik wrote a beautiful book about Rasulullah,
and that Allah, not once in the Holy Quran, contemplates, admits
of the notion of the Western colonialist, imperialist notion of
the segregation of knowledge between what is religious on the
one hand and what is secular and will.
Only on the other hand, and the two don't meet one another.
And so whilst it is shakur dawi says an obligation
for each and every one of our us to know Allah.
Because by knowing Allah
through the principles and the understanding of Tawheed in the
Holy Quran, which is the first message of the Quran, is the
Tawheed of Allah,
if we are adherents, followers of Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa
sallam, who understand
we would fulfill the mission that he left for us.
We would have every leader in this Masjid fulfilling the mission of
Muhammad.
And therefore, Allah says in the Quran about the people who have
knowledge and those who don't have knowledge. It's about the
consciousness of Allah,
not what discipline you have, not what studies you are in, not what
profession you are in that knowledge is either praised to the
hilt by Allah based on one criteria.
What is that criterion? The eye is clear a man who Akane to
Emma. Are those the
same, those who stand in night vigil and worshiping Allah in a
part of the night, in prostration and in bowing in front of Allah,
they are fearful and mindful of the akhira, and they yearn for the
Lord's mercy of those people. Allah says, are they the same
those who know and those who do not know?
You? Tell me, does that verse speak only about religious
knowledge?
No,
that verse speaks about knowledge of understanding that is based and
located in the Tawheed of Allahu Tabarka.
Well, the Tala grant us all inshaAllah, hedayatu, etibari,
sunnati, or su Allah
kashri,
he will be yaniva Hearing Allah.
Grant
us all welcome. You.
