Indeed, it is a great honor for me to introduce our guest speaker for

introductory as well known nationally and internationally, it
is none other than Doctor Imtiaz Suliman, the founder and the
chairman of give, of the
givers, who does a work in the communities, in locally and
internationally as well. So without further ado Inshallah,
we'll call upon Doctor MTR Suleiman to address us inshallah
for this prejuma Talk, a
JazakAllah, Sheik Assalamualaikum, trustees, management, musalis,
people in the masjid, people outside. JazakAllah. Very much.
Thank you very much for this invite to speak to you today. I'm
going to cover several concepts, depending how much we can cover in
the time, but how to bring in concepts about spirituality,
relationships with non Muslim, relationships with human beings in
general, speaking about instructions from Tarika, Sufi
disorder of Sufi orders, and also the current situation in the
country, using Eastern Cape as an example, and Our role as Muslims.
This morning, whilst I was in the apartment, the message came. My
wife gives a message to me and says, today the 14th of January,
2010
our teams left for Haiti.
And I said, that's a very good starting point to talk about 12
January, and you have to listen very carefully. There's a lot of
messages to go along as I speak
12, January, 2010
I walked into my flat early in the morning. I just returned from
Syria before the madness started. I got a call from crime media to
say, there's a massive earthquake in Haiti. Are you guys responding?
So I said, I've just walked into my house. So they said, put the TV
on. I see the picture. And I said, on the screen itself, the pictures
that I'm seeing, I can tell you now that at least 25,000 people. I
did.
The earthquake killed 250,000
people in 40 seconds.
They asked. And one of the reasons for that, as I said, I'm a new
messages, is no structured talk. It's lessons. One of the reasons
why that happened is that a lot of billions were not properly built.
Ethics is a big problem in our country. Spirituality and morality
is a big problem in our country. It's not only in government. It's
within religious orders, it's within the corporates, it's within
business, it's within families, it's in the worlds, it's in
testaments, everything. There's a serious problem about ethics.
These are things we need to fix.
So the buildings are not properly built, no proper plans, no proper
proper engineering structures. Yes, the earthquake was big. It
was almost nine on the record scale. Yes, the epicenter was very
close to Port au Prince, which is the capital. Yes, the earthquake
was very shallow, which causes more destruction. But part of the
problem was that houses were not properly built, so when one fell,
the others were like a pack of cards, and a whole lot of people
died. They should not have died. Yes, life and death is in Allah's
hands, but human beings have to do what is correct. So people died
because of that. It's a issue of ethics. So they asked, are you
responding?
I said, Yes, what in an hour, our search and rescue teams will be
ready.
That was the world first for us. We never had search and rescue
teams before. But following the Pakistan earthquake, we decided,
in evolution of disaster response, we need to have a search and
rescue team. So we decided, we prepared our search and rescue
team, and they responded. I called
dirko because I got an excellent relationship with government, and
I said, I need visas and we'll go via Paris. You had a choice of
America or France and promoted terrorism. Issue is religious.
Delay us. Disaster Response. You minimize obstacles because you
need to get there fast, quickly, efficiently, to do the job to save
lives. So we said, we opt via Paris, the French Consulate in
Joburg was excellent.
Is within 10 minutes, all the documents were issued. Second visa
given for free. You don't have to be on site present. They just give
us the visas.
You got sorted out. And then we said, we give Air France the
business as a courtesy, to give the airline of that country the
courtesy of the business. So I told them, will you get my teams
to port of France, which is the capital of Haiti, they said, Yes,
we will. I told them, No, you won't. They said, Yes, we will. I
said, No, you won't. I said, the airport will close. They said the
airport is open. I said it's open, it will close. They said, No, it's
open. So I said, Give it, give me a guarantee in writing that you
will get my team's support operands. And I knew it's never
going to happen. The airline gave me a guarantee in writing. Which
airline gives you a guarantee in writing? Got a guarantee in
writing. My teams go to the airport. The priest comes the
mixed group, Muslim, Christian, Hindu, all mixed up. We work all
religions, all colors, all nationalities. It's about
humanity. This is what the prophet Sallam has taught us. And you go
to the airport. Whilst at the airport, I'm in quitting
marisburg, I make a call to the Catholic Society of South Africa
in Johannesburg, and I tell the guy who picks up the phone on the
other side, I need the Pope. And
the guy gets a shock. What
does the Muslim guy want to do with the Pope?
So I said, you know, we Muslims, we connected all over the world.
Are you Christian guys not connected all over the world? So
he said, Okay, but what is it for? So I said, I need a Catholic
organization to receive my teams in the Dominican Republic and take
them across into Port au Prince. And I said, Catholics are mostly
in the country, so I need you to organize the book and sort them
out. So of course, he called somebody, and three hours later he
calls me. He said, done
Catholics and relief services, CRS and Caritas will meet your teams
in Dominican Republic, and they will take them across into Haiti.
Fine my team's land. I'm speaking I'm sorting out things in South
Africa. My team's land, led by Ahmed BAAB and and, you know,
another, another
person, and they bought land. Get on the other side. Six o'clock in
the morning, they call me and they say, we got a problem. I said, I
know you got a problem. Portal Prince is closed, isn't it? They
said, yes, the airport is closed. I said, don't worry. Watch. You
guys are flying. We already made alternate arrangements. Within two
hours, you guys are flying to Dominican Republic. Flights are
issued. The seats are issued. Everything sorted out. You guys
are flying. He has a contact. Now on the other side, they get to
Dominican Republic they received by the airport. Now remember, if
we have this culture of Muslims only work with our own people
only, you're not going to achieve anything in the world. All human
beings are created by the same creator. There's no different
creator for Muslims, Christian, Jews, Hindus, there's only one
Creator, and the laws apply to everybody the same way. And I'll
explain it a little later, if there is enough time.
So any case they get to Dominican Republic board, please come South
African team,
passports, I mean, visas, accommodation, food, water,
whatever else they needed sorted out. Mixed team received my
Catholic group.
They take them across the border into Haiti. There's chaos,
looting, shooting in the streets, shooting on the compound. The guys
are afraid, but they pray. They have faith. They have trust,
because people are going from mixed religions. All believe that
the high power is looking after them, and they gel so well. They
understand each other well, it doesn't matter what religion you
come from, and they support each other, and they get to the
compound, the stench of debt is everywhere.
20th January, 2010
eight days after the earthquake, my team's here sound in the
rubber,
and they said, We need to go in. In the Catholic Church that
collapsed.
They pull up 64 year old anazizi alive.
It's a world first. Never before in the history of the African
continent has any team from the African continent taken anybody
out of the rubber alive in a country outside the African
continent. And our teams did it the first in Haiti. And when the
lady came up,
eight days, no oxygen, no food, no water, no medicine, fresh hip,
completely enclosed with dust and rock,
and when she came out, her first words were, I love God.
You instilled hope and faith in a human being 1000s of kilometers
away by bringing them alive. And the first words were, remember the
Almighty.
Her second words was, I love you.
Love knows no color. It knows no class. It knows no religion. It
knows no race. Love is universal. And she told him, I love.
View,
the medical teams came in the back, behind the search and rescue
team. We always had medical teams first. But that is not ideal. We
needed such an SQ teams. And we worked awarded and we achieved it.
So such an SQ teams came. Medical teams came from the back,
countries, from the North were there. The medical team said, very
difficult to work here. Everything is destroyed. The South African
team said, Leave this to us. They all train in these universities in
our country.
The quality of our teaching is excellent. The quality of our
professionals is excellent. But above all, they have the heart and
the spirituality to sacrifice, to look beyond color, race and
religion and to work with the open mind. So when they went across,
the people of the other countries said, if you want healing and you
want health and you want life, then go to the Dream Team. And the
Dream Team is from South Africa,
but my team's broke down.
They saw people come from other countries and operate on people.
And the people died.
They came to practice and a practice of other people's
children and other people, and they died. The worst form of
ethics is when it takes somebody's life.
And if you have one bad ethics and simple things, it becomes bad
ethics and something else, and bad ethics and something else and the
bad ethics grow unless you change a system of ethics.
They went to the church, they washed the walls and they cleaned
the floors, and they said, bring the Mexican. Doctors were walking
without paramedics, and when they came, they saw that the
amputations on the children were not done correctly. So if the hand
was cut off, you know how to cut off above the elbow, and if the
ankle is cut off, you have to cut out above the knee. You came to
practice on somebody that's got your child,
and you have caused such an inconvenience and a disability for
children because you came with no ethics. And after a while, when
they had they had to keep doing reputations. My teams broke down.
They said, We can't do this anymore. It was time to change
them and send the next team in.
The worst part was this, after they finish and they told the
child, go home.
Child said, go home. Where?
Where? *. There is no home.
There are no parents, there is no family members, there is no
clothing, there is no food, there is no medical care. Where do we
go?
Not much different in areas all over the world where people have
difficulty. It's not only in Palestine, it's not only in
Afghanistan. It's not only in Syria. It's not only in Iraq,
difficulties all over the world. And all human beings are human
beings, and we need to respond to all human beings equally. Because
the Prophet Islam, if he was here, he won't select and say, Okay,
let's go Muslims only, he would never do that. He was rahmat al I
mean Mercy unto all creation. We stand up in some of the masjid and
we said we did in salami. We're going to Malina. We're going to
stand in front of the rose Abu Barak. Are you really following
his teaching?
Are you selective in what you do? Are you selecting your ethics,
your practices, your behavior? Yes, you did five times a day, you
go to four times a year. You go to Hajj every year. But have you
understood the real spirituality of Islam and done what is correct?
Or you select what suits you? Are you ethical in your business? Do
you rob the insurance companies? Do you claim for things that are
not correct? Islam is not some divided thing. It's a total traps
of everything that we have to do.
So the teams go and they go back,
and now they go back to where all this started.
You see my entrance into Tariqah. Came to a non Muslim.
I moved to Peter miles beretsburg in 1986
I finished internship in 1985 and I wanted to be a specialist
physician. I wanted to do internal medicine, but Allah made it such
that there was no post for me.
We need to understand in everything that we do, always look
for the good in what may be a shared bed. We think, Oh, it
didn't work out for me. I didn't get the job, I didn't get the
business. I didn't get the right doctor. I didn't get the right
school. I didn't get the right guy. Always look for the good in
what appears to be bad, because Allah may have something more
merciful for you in what he doesn't give you. He always says,
What I take away from you, I give you something better.
So I couldn't get the post. I go into private practice. I didn't
want to go into private practice, but I had to go into private
practice the year I moved to marysburg, January to 1986
my butcher comes to me, and he said, there's a guy here, an
Africana guy that comes from Pretoria. He came to teach French
at the University of Natal. He came to teach French, and you're.
Not a scholarship in America. It was in France. It was here, then
everywhere. But he needs a doctor. So
I said, Okay, I received no problem. So me and Afrikaner guy
start talking.
One day, he tells me that you should go to Turkey and meet a
spiritual teacher.
So I said, What do you know about a spiritual teacher? You said I
was in America. I was dejected. I was very sad. I was walking to the
streets aimlessly. Suddenly, from the corner, I see a man making eye
contact with me, and my heart tells me to follow that man.
So I walk and I follow that man, and I go to Saint John the Divine.
Saint George the John the Divine, is a massive church in New York,
and
he said, in that church, you went and the that man led a zikr in the
church.
And everybody joined in a zikr of all religions in the church, they
had an open hearted approach.
And he said, When I spoke to that man, my heart and my soul lit up.
But that man passed away in 1985
so I said, then what do I see in Turkey? He said, you see the new
one? There's a new spiritual teacher. He's based in Istanbul.
So I made a joke. I said, Mala, it's 1986 I still haven't seen
Cape Town. When am I going to see Istanbul?
It said something very significant. He said, What God
wills happens?
There's a time and a place. And
the time and the place was August 1991
it's a long story, but my wife and I got to Turkey in 1991
now there's a problem. January, 1991 15. January was the Gulf War.
The Gulf War polarized the world.
The it was it was understood that Christians and Jews and non
Muslims on one side and Muslims on the other side, that the West was
attacking the east, coming from an apartheid country where you lost
your land and you shop in your house and everything else doesn't
help.
You go to Turkey, and
when you get there, you see people of all religions, Americans, Jews,
Christians, Russians, Hindus in a Muslim holy place. And you're
trying to understand, how can this be possible? Russians, bombed us
in Africa and in Afghanistan, Israelis and Palestinians have
prominent in Palestine all the time. Muslims and Hindus have
problems in India, in the Bible, masjid and everything else like
that. And with Americans, we have problems all over the world.
How can they be in a Muslim place? No friction, no discord, no
disrespect, only love. And
I said, Is this really possible?
The Sufi Sheik looked at my eyes, the man supposed to meet, he
looked at my eyes. Now nobody will come like I come here. Mr. Chuan
said, Are you? When did you come? Are you feeling? How's everything?
Okay? That's how people will greet you. You go to a country. They'll
tell you. Where did you come from? How's the weather? You just stay
good here. You enjoyed it. The Shaykh never said something like
that. His first words to me was, what do you see?
He read my soul that I was feeling confused. I told my wife, I think
we came to the wrong place,
but keep an open mind. He said, My son, what do you see? I said,
Sheik, I am confused. I see people of all religion, all racist,
people who had conflict, but in the Muslim holy place,
he said, You see, right?
Mankind is one single nation that's Quranic.
The blood of all mankind is one, one Lord created all mankind. We
just know him by different names,
any teacher, Imam, Sheik, Priest, Rabbi, Pandit, if they preach,
violence, extremism, terrorism, conflict and discord. They're not
a man of God. Don't follow them.
Anyone who teaches love, kindness, compassion and mercy is a man of
God. Follow him,
and I could see the understanding and the respect with everyone. And
I left my wife and I left.
I was outside the rose in Mubarak on Hajj,
May, 1992
I said to Professor, I don't understand all this, but if it's
meant for me, I want to go back there.
Six, August, 1992 I landed up in Turkey.
It was a Thursday night, 10 o'clock after Zika program. The
chef was sitting in the corner of the room, and I was sitting down
the corner. He makes eye contact with me, and in FLUENT Turkish, I
don't understand a word of Turkish, but I understood every
single word that he said. He said, My son, I am not asking you, I am
instructing you to form an.
Organization. The name in Arabic will be walkful walk if in when we
translate it, it meant gift of the givers. You will serve all people
of all races, of all religions, all colors, all classes, all
cultures, of any geographical location and of any political
affiliation, but you will serve them unconditionally. You will
expect nothing in return, not even a thank you. In fact, in what
you're going to be doing for the rest of your life, expect to get a
kick up your back. If you don't get a kick up your back, regard
that as a bonus.
Serve people what love, kindness, compassion and mercy, and remember
the dignity of man is foremost. So if someone is down in the ground,
don't push them down further, hold them, elevate them. Wipe the tear
of a grieving child.
Cares the head of an orphan, say words of good counsel to a widow.
These things are free. They don't need money. They're free. They
don't cost anything. And in everything that you do,
be the best at what you do. And that's why we're so fussy about
the type of teams, the type of projects that we do, and we send
them all over the world and in the country, be the best at what you
do, not because of ego,
but because you're dealing with human life, human emotion and
human dignity, then he said, on us, and that's our motto. You see
to our shirts around our cars, best among people are those who
benefit mankind. And he said it three times. And he said, listen
carefully, I am not saying Muslim,
I'm not saying Arab, and I'm not saying Indian. I'm saying mankind
unconditionally. And then he said, the most important message is
this, my son,
that whatever you do is done through you and not buy you.
You can't them credit for anything in our business, in our studies,
in our work, we are not clever. Don't ever think you did it
because I did it. You did nothing. You only did it because Allah
Almighty allowed you to do it, and he gave you the skill as a
permission to do that. And they can take it away in 10 seconds.
And you saw what covid did. He took away livelihoods in hours.
Companies close. People lost jobs, people lost lives, people lost
family members. Universities came to a standstill, schools and
business came to a standstill. He took it in hours. Nothing stops
him from doing that, but he always has this big message that My Mercy
outstrips my rocks forgiveness says, I'm key. Everything says,
so this was do, and so whatever we do, we need to understand that it
comes through us by the gift of Allah.
Then I asked him.
I said, you said all these things in Turkish. I don't speak Turkish.
How I understand, how I understood what you're saying? He said, My
son, when the hearts connect and the souls connect, the words
become understandable.
I told him, You know, I'm a doctor in private practice. I got three
practices in a place called Peter mattersburg in South Africa. You
told me to do these things. What am things, what am I supposed to
do and when I'm supposed to do them? He told me one line,
you will know
for 29 years, I do know what to do, how to do, when to do, what to
touch, what not to touch. It's a spiritual gift. I need to
understand that in every way I know what to do. And instantly,
with that same time, I walked out of there, the inspiration came
respond to the civil war in Bosnia and responded to 31 containers. We
went back in November with eight containers. And in 19 in two, in
1993 we designed the world's first containerized mobile hospital. He
said, Be the best. Nobody could match us. It's the only one of its
kind in the world. That time that we built for South African
technology, and we took it across. But that gave me the answer. What
he said, You will know. I then knew that gift of the givers was
going to be a disaster response agency. It will develop disasters
and everything else that comes around. It will be secondary. Our
primary focus is disasters. Let me show up a little bit to the
Eastern Cape and take you to the currency. Situation there.
We've been working in the Eastern Cape for quite some time now.
There's drought, there's hunger, there's medical issues, there's
water problems, and there's a lot of different issues.
And I tell you that people's faith in their lives increased when you
do do good things. Ali is here, and they went in a place called
ngobo in Eastern Cape a year ago.
And as a tax came up the mountain,
an old lady in a walking stick came forward, non Muslim,
Christian, black rural area.
It not to sleep.
She comes forward, and she tells earlier in the team,
he answered my prayer.
I knew he won't let me down.
I was praying for God Almighty to send us some assistance in our
area. And the green people came. They call us the green people. The
green people came, and they are the people of God Almighty,
we are instruments. We say Shukran, using us. But your money,
your support and everything possible make people's faith and
Allah Almighty increase wherever we go they see you guys covered
hope and support.
September last year, the CEOs of the hospitals were crying. They
said, We don't have food to feed our patients. We can't go home.
How do you bring a person to hospital and don't give them food?
And we made food available for 32 hospitals in November. They came
back and other 40 hospitals, and we supported them food for
hospitals. Now let's reverse the situation a little bit.
Let's imagine that we go to these hospitals. See for you to
understand the crisis is to put yourself and your family in the
crisis. You go to hospital, you see a broken down building, less
medical staff, no proper food. You want halal food in hospital, no
proper beds, no functional equipment. You see, you don't want
to go there. You have to go somewhere else. But that is a lot
of millions of people in this country, in this continent and
throughout the world.
But we are number one in complaining.
We don't have gratitude.
We need to understand that what Allah has given us is abundance.
We need to understand the first principle of gratitude. When I
take my teams across other parts of the world, they come back and
say, We will never complain, ever again.
We understand gratitude is something very, very important. So
when we respond, what happens in July, last June, last year again,
they were in a place called pedi. And my time is almost up, there
was a in a place called Paddy. The woman, in a very dignified manner,
comes and takes the food passer from them,
and then she tells them, talk to my children.
They will tell you the taste of every plant in this area.
For the last three months, my children have been eating plants.
There is no food.
Our children change different types of sweet in one day,
different types of fruit. And they take the banana and they throw it
one side. They take the watermelon, they bite and they
leave it one side. They drink the coding they don't like, and you
give them another one. I'm responsible. The same thing. I do
the same thing. We all the same
and we all the kind of stuff. We spoil them. They waste the food.
We don't worry. They have choices of what to eat and what to waste.
But these children, and then we want to have the technology, and
they've got a choice of technology, what to use. These
children don't know when they're going to eat
next, and so when the game very gratefully, took the package of
the food parcel.
They went to the dumps. Can you imagine your children running the
dumps when the dump trucks come and scavenging and looking for
food?
And they saw a child open a gem 10, a gem 10 is sharp on the edge,
and put its lips there to eat food. Where is the dignity?
And another child takes his teaspoon and rubs it in a peanut
butter bottle
and tries to eat whatever is left there. Can you imagine your child
bring that, or your mother, your father, or a child comes with torn
clothes to the front of the line when we're explaining the food and
says, I won't eat too much.
Can you give me food to take home for my mother and my father, my
brother and sister, they haven't eaten? How much do we waste in our
weddings, at our homes, in our body parties? In the Muslim world,
is guilty of 60 million tons of food being lost in the Middle
East, thrown away every every over the year,
and the child says, I won't take much food, just give me a little.
But can you give me more to take home?
Is that acceptable in a country of gold, diamonds, steel, platinum,
the industry?
And please don't ever ask me again. Can I take zakat only
brother? Keep your money.
I bring blunt
because you don't have the humanity to help everybody that
something serious is wrong with you. You see, when you give zakat,
a gun is put your head. Hey, give zakat, otherwise you're not a
Muslim.
When you give Leela and satka, you're doing it out of your own
free will. You're doing it out of love. Follow us about that. You
didn't put a gun to your head, but it was merciful. He only allowed
you two and a half percent zakat. He said, I know my people, they
like money, so only two and a half percent zakat. 97 and a half
percent is your own choice, and I admire the people in this country.
When the covid hit in March and April, 2020
Muslims who give zakat came to the office.
And said, I mean, one man came forward and said, I haven't had
one single cent in business in three months. I give you two and a
half 1000 last year. I'm giving you 10,000 this year, because I
now know what it is for other people in this country to suffer,
brothers and sisters, my time is up. My message is very simple. We
need to open our hearts, our minds, our wallets, our pockets,
to everybody. And when you do that, when they say, the people of
Allah has responded, you get the blessing. You've increased the
faith of people in Allah Almighty, because he himself doesn't come
down here. He said that Allah, why is challenged to be as
representatives on Earth? We need to open our hearts as much as we
open up for zakat, we need to open up our hearts for people in
difficulty in this country, all arms are destroyed in the floods
in East London, a mother was crying. The water reached the roof
level, and it bust open the corrugated sheeting, and as she
cried to catch her 18 year old daughter, the house, and the
daughter got washed away, and the mother could not catch that child,
and the child died. And when we went there, she said, there's no
house, no food, no funeral money, nothing and I got no income. What
do I do? Few days later, we found another house. Six children was
sitting in the house, a one year old child sitting on a muddy
floor. They hadn't eaten for two days because the Father the
mother, both farm workers, got washed away in the river.
Would we be happy to live like that? We've made our income in
this country. We've grown in this country. We've got religious
freedom in this country, brothers and sisters, sisters, it is time
for us to have what is called active citizenry, to intervene, to
invest and to hold up the lot of those people in hardship and
difficulty, the benefit you will get you will see in your own life,
that is spirituality, that is Imam, that is a gift from Allah.
Thank you very much for your time.
Salam Alaikum, wa rahmatul Barakatuh,
today we at Islamia masjid and more particularly, the Islamia
complex, which is the Islamia College complex,
are very privileged, honored to have a person of the caliber of
doctor, imtia Suleiman, addressing us at this Jumma occasion.
He's a very busy man, a man who's got, when I read, at least four
cellphones ringing at times, and he knows exactly what to do, a man
who makes us proud, very, very proud in that as a Muslim, he is
holding and keeping the bastion of the bastion of Islam very high and
showing to the world, not South Africa, to the world, that
Muslims are there for everybody and not just for Muslims and
Islamic causes alone.
In my humble opinion,
Doctor
Ali sablay,
