00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			Respected Qalam,
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			under Bal Mufti Ismail Musa Menck,
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:39
			members
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			of the executive of the Muslim Judicial Council,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			members of the Imara,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			the honorable
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			parents of the 2 young sisters and ladies
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:56
			who have graduated here this evening.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			Ladies and gentlemen,
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02
			elders, brothers and sisters, and honorable students,
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			I guarantee you that I will not be
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			too long because
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			it is a challenging affair
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			that kept our emotions
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			for the last 45 minutes
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			and perhaps maybe after such
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			tense moments,
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			the muscles needs to be relaxed
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			and I suspect
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			there's some good food on its way.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			But if you bear with me with
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:35
			another 2, 3 minutes,
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			I will be
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			short.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			Every time that the mosque in Cape Town
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			is inaugurated
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			and opened,
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			we have reason to celebrate the vision of
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49
			a great lady by the name of Sartifan
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			Beqab.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			And I think it is time that the
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			Muslim community dedicate an occasion and declared this
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			lady the first lady of the Muslim community.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			And every time
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			when a mosque is open, we celebrate the
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			deep vision of Sarki Fandekar.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:13
			A lady who never graduated from the School
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			of Economics at UCT,
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			Neither did she graduate from UWC,
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			the law faculty,
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			but she understood the deep vision.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:25
			She understood
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			that in her unselfish
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			and her generous contribution
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			to the whatof
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:33
			property
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			of the Omar al Masjid,
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			that on the day of Yawmul Qiyamah,
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			the scales of Sarki Fandekah
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			will qualify
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46
			a ticket into Jannah, inshallah.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			From Sarki Fandekah,
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:54
			when we listen this evening to this young
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			lady,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:56
			Aveda,
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			we are compelled
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			to journey our history.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			And every time
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			that we celebrate the abilities of our young
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:07
			children,
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			we have to ask
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			the colonial masters of yesteryear
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			and the apartheid regime of yesteryear,
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:18
			when will you ever learn?
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			Indeed,
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			they never learn.
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			Our history tells us that every time
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			that when we listen to the young lady
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			who have recited Aveda,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			we celebrate the deep vision of Sarki Fandekab.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			And from Sarki Fandekab
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			bin Bekaab to Hafidah Mu'alima'aisha
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			series
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:47
			is a long history to journey
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:48
			in celebration
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			of the deep vision of a lady.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			And when we listen to
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			Sheikh Abrahaman
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:57
			Sadeem
		
00:03:59 --> 00:03:59
			in fact,
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			it was barely a week ago when we
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:05
			listened to the chef at the masjid of
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:05
			Sheikh Ibrahim.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			And every time that we listen to Sheikh
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12
			Abrahaman, we listen to the maturity of the
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:12
			voice.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16
			But again, in the recitation of Sheikh Abrahaman,
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			there's a lot only the beauty of the
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			voice,
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23
			but also politically and historically today,
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			we can tell the political masters of yesterday,
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			you incarcerated
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			Tuamguru on Robben Island.
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:31
			And tonight,
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			from Robben Island to Scarborough,
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			we celebrate the recitation
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			of the melonious voices of the Quran.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			At the time
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			that the colonial masters
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			wanted to kill the growth of the Quran.
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:50
			Tuanguru
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			incarcerated
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			for approximately
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			14 years on Rurban Island.
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			Can you imagine for a moment
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			how did Thuan Gourou recite the Quran?
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			He recited the Quran
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:06
			whilst under incarceration.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			Between the tiny four walls of his prison
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			cell, there was no audience.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15
			But there was saber and there was foresight
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			because
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			one day there will be an occasion
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			that we will have
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			the likes of Sheikh Abdul Rahman,
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			who will read the Quran in the most
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			melodious voice
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			between the history that we journeyed
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			from slavery to freedom,
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			from Robben Island to Safran.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			We take our history for granted,
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:41
			and sometimes we take ourselves for granted.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:45
			And we don't attach enough pride
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:46
			to our history.
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			Allow me to make a very nasty example.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			I've been asking the community for the last
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			2 weeks,
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			when we witnessed the ceremony
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			of Michael Jackson.
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			I was
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			impressed with
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:08
			the reverend that spoke at Jackson's ceremony.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14
			But if people can celebrate Michael Jackson
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:18
			and remember him for his moonwalk even though
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:19
			he never reached the moon,
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			If we can celebrate the character of people
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			in the music world,
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29
			why can't we celebrate the dignity and the
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			honor of the Quran?
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			I think this community have a problem.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37
			It seems not to identify
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:42
			abilities and leadership in our community. And strange
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:43
			enough,
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			a lot of things in our community was
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			achieved by individual people.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			When you talk about the Masajid in Cape
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			Town, a 150
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:53
			Masajid,
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			you have to talk about the individual vision
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			of Santi Fandakkad.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			If you talk about liberation in the Quran
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			and the preservation of the Quran,
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:05
			you have to talk about Tuam
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:06
			Guru.
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			If you have to talk about the father
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:10
			of Islam and the resistance
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			against the colonial masters, you have to talk
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:15
			about Tuam Yusuf.
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			And so you can journey the names of
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			individuals
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			and will find that this community will do
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23
			themselves proud.
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			Only we have one occasion
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			where we celebrate the achievements
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			of individual people that brought us to where
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			we are tonight.
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37
			We celebrate the success
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			of Darul Fookhan,
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			the success of the 2 ladies.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:47
			Can you imagine that this is an unstoppable
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:47
			movement?
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:52
			I, myself and Sheikh Ibrahim, returned, approximately a
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			week ago from the Middle East.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			In one of the meetings in Istanbul under
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			the auspices of Sheikh Yousuf Badawi,
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:02
			the representative
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:05
			of the International Union for the Muslim Scholars,
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:06
			of which we are members,
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			from the Gaza stood up and he gave
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:10
			a report on the Gaza.
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			Gaza stood up and he gave a report
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15
			on the Gaza. Sir, I want the world
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			to know that the people in the Gaza
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:18
			is now more equipped
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			to handle the Israelis.
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:24
			We are now more powerful than prior to
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:26
			the 22 day war against us.
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28
			And I must tell you that for a
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			moment, I thought
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			that he was talking of the ability that
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			they have enhanced, the Katyusha rockets
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			or the Tassar rockets.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:40
			And then to our great surprise,
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			with great
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:44
			enemies of the man said,
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			our preparation to challenge
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:49
			the Zionist
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:52
			is more of our children and people are
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			becoming half in the
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:05
			The Zionists have spent the last 60 years
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			in trying to confuse the minds
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09
			of weak
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			souls in the Muslim Ummah.
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			Weak souls even amongst Palestinians,
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:18
			except for those
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			let Sheikh Hassan describe
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:24
			that the Quran have become part of their
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:24
			blood.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			And so our congratulations
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			tonight to Muhammadu Ma'isha
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			after 10 years of strife.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:38
			Now, Jamaican, if we have seen the caliber
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:38
			here
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:41
			tonight, and we see the
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:42
			exhibition
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:44
			of and
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			your beautiful faces here,
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51
			I am sure that when we see value
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:53
			and African
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:05
			that we don't want to put our money
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:06
			where our deed is.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:10
			Hafiz students
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13
			always have to go for the crumbs.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17
			Imams and all of us always have to
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:18
			go for the crumbs.
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:23
			The imbalances in our communities must be challenged.
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:25
			We build mosque,
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:29
			and we beautify the domes and the binarats
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:30
			that cannot defend Islam.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:33
			Show me in the entire history of Islam
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:37
			where a beautiful domes ever defended Islam.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			In fact, in the painful history of Andalus
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:41
			in Spain,
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:45
			many masajid were turned into something else.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			A million rand on the minaret
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			and 2,000,000 rand on the mosque carpet.
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			But the same budget is not spent for
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			the mind that must make subdued on the
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:56
			carpet.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			And so we have to engage the list
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:01
			of priorities
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03
			and say
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:05
			that the prestige
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:07
			tonight
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			belongs to all of us,
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:13
			and that we will begin to seriously spend
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14
			our money
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:18
			so that institutions who produce for 5th
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:21
			must not begin to speculate on the 24th
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:22
			of every month.
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:28
			Will everybody be there
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:30
			to pay their dues
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:32
			so that the school can function?
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:36
			And under an economic crisis today,
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:39
			many business institutions
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			have to think about closing business.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:46
			Half of its schools and madrasas and massages
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:49
			have been going through an economic crisis
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			for the last 300 years, and it has
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:53
			never closed.
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			And it will never close.
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			Le'an nafihi and barakah,
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			because we survive from the barakah
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			of Allah Subhanahu
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:04
			wa ta'ala.
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:08
			I pray that this institute will grow from
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:09
			strength to strength inshallah.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:12
			And the seed that has been planted on
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:14
			the eve of 10th anniversary
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			will produce more hafilaat inshallah
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:20
			so that the future of this
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:23
			will be well protected and well safeguarded inshallah.
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:29
			Allah reward us all and all our duas
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:30
			for the success of Dawud
