00:05:00 --> 00:05:05
			Will be all to be known when the
test is put in front of you, and
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:08
			that is the level of
understanding. Can you respond to
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:12
			the test? Or the first event you
going to run away? What Quran
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:12
			tells you,
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:17
			you can't run away from death. It
will find you even in towers up
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			high. There
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			is a story of a South African
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:27
			who left the country because of
crime and said he wants to go to
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:28
			the UK.
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			A week later, he was murdered in
the UK.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:38
			You see, we can't run away from
what is destined. What we can do
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:43
			is make sure that things change in
the purpose of the better. Allah
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:47
			will never change the condition of
a people unless they change it
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			themselves. I
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:54
			want to come back to what role we
as Muslims have to play, but
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:59
			before I get to that, why do many
of us want to leave
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03
			Is it because we are afraid? Good
Reason?
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:08
			Is it because we want a greater
future? Good reason,
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:13
			or is it because we can't make 15
to 20 million or 50 million extra
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:13
			for the year?
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:19
			Is it because of economic reasons?
Let's be honest. Let's question
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			ourselves honestly.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:23
			You know, there's a tree ever
teaching
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27
			that what you don't spend is not
yours. So I
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31
			can give 2 billion rand today and
say, stay in South Africa. I'm
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:35
			giving 2 billion rand. Please tell
me how many lifetimes you're going
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:39
			to need to spend that money. You
can have a house here, a house
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:42
			somewhere else, a place in Dubai,
a house somewhere else, a yacht,
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:47
			15 cars, but you can only sleep in
one bed. You can only eat three
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:50
			meals a day. As you get older, you
eat more, you get sick, you'll end
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:54
			up in hospital. You can only drive
one car. You have 15 gotta change
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:59
			the battery. It dies. So Allah
said, Everything in moderation,
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:04
			everything he says clearly,
whatever is excess spent. I'm
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			telling you just now why. I'm
telling you all these points
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:12
			we can make as much as we want.
And if many of you remember the
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:15
			great Sufi scholar who came to
South Africa in the 70s, Professor
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:18
			fazur Rahman Ansari, what was his
teaching
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:24
			that our display and our
exhibition of wealth is something
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			that's going to destroy us.
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:31
			He didn't. His words do not go
wrong, absolutely correct in what
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:36
			he said, But what all the
challenges that is insurmountable,
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:41
			we need to go back to the basics.
And this place, this mosque is a
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:45
			Sufi mosque. There's a Sufi to me,
they're back here for us who
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:49
			understand Sufism in Tarika, we
will understand how to deal with
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:52
			the problems of the country in the
world. So let me go back and tell
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:53
			you my story,
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:58
			how gift of the givers will swamp
that's not important. What's
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:02
			important is the story behind the
gift of the givers. You see, the
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:05
			organization was formed in august
6, August 1992
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:09
			through the instruction of a Sufi
master in Turkey.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:15
			But to me, actually started in
1985 and I need you to understand
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:18
			the thread of what I'm saying. So
in 1985
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:23
			I'm this young guy doing
internship in King Edward Hospital
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:24
			in Durban,
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:28
			and I say to myself, at the end of
this year, I'm going to become a
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:32
			medical officer, and then I'm
going to be a registrar, and then
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:35
			I want to be a specialist at
internal medicine. Those were my
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			thoughts.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:42
			Allah had other plans. I there was
no post for me to study further in
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:45
			that time, there was not much
opportunity. So I didn't become a
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:49
			medical officer. They never tried
to become a register. I never
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:53
			became a physician. Never had that
opportunity, and I had two
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:58
			choices, either I can cartwheel
and sad and be depressed and cry
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:02
			and mope and whine that I didn't
get this post to be a medical
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:03
			officer, or I
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:09
			can look at it alternatively and
say, but Allah has maybe something
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:09
			better for me.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			You see, when you have challenges,
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:17
			you have to look at what looks
evil or bad and look for the good
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:22
			in it. As Muslims, we know we
don't pray for what we want.
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:28
			We pray for what is good for us,
because what we want may not
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			necessarily be good for us.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:36
			So when things don't work out,
always go back. Maybe shukan
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:41
			Allah. It was for a very good
reason it didn't happen. So I
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:45
			didn't get this post, and I moved
from German to Peter matters, but
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			to start private practice
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51
			as a response to not being
negative,
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			Allah sends an African man.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:59
			Remember, this is pre the new
dispensation. It is the time of A.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:03
			Of you're paying that, and you're
paying the fuel Levy and all this
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:06
			the other it's true. Let's say we
do everything. 100% correct,
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:11
			but 7 million people's taxes can't
look after 65 million people. It's
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:15
			impossible. Whether the Americans,
the Germans, the Canadians, the
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:18
			Australians, rent this country, we
all could have the same problem.
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:24
			Seven millions people taxes cannot
look after 65 million people. If
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:28
			that's the case, the Quran will
have even no instructions about
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:31
			social service. It would have
said, Let governments take care of
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:32
			people.
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:36
			It's emphasized social service
over and over and over again,
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:39
			because it's always going to be
this difference,
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:44
			share whatever you want, earn
whatever you want, love whatever
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:49
			you want, but don't forget about
the dignity of the people in this
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:54
			country. We can be together. We
can make that change. We can
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:56
			overcome all burdens and all
challenges, and we can fix this
		
00:30:56 --> 00:31:02
			country. This country belongs to
you and me and 65 million people.
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:06
			It doesn't belong to the
government. It's our country. We
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:09
			stand together and we fix it.
Either you have a positive
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:13
			attitude, attitude or just fall by
the wayside. Bizarkala, for the
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:16
			time, I need you to have mindset
change, and let's do this
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:20
			together. See corporate South
Africa, when the when the when the
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:24
			covid came and the floods came,
corporate South Africa, non
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:29
			Muslims called and said, Forget
about a tax certificate. Forget
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:34
			about be points. What must we do
to change bring hope to this
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:38
			country and to save the lives of
our people? 11 April, and this the
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:40
			last point. 11 April, 2022
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:47
			at in the evening. When the flood
waters rose eight meters in 45
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:51
			minutes, I was expecting people to
say, I need helicopter, I need a
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:56
			boat, I need a diver, I need a
forklift. I need an excavator. No
		
00:31:56 --> 00:32:01
			such calls. The only calls came
from corporate South Africa, non
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:06
			Muslims, what do you need and how
much do you need? Not in business
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:11
			hours. They called one o'clock in
the morning. So I asked him, are
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:15
			you guys feeling well? They said,
why? I said, Since when has
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:18
			corporate South Africa stayed away
at night? Stayed awake at night to
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:19
			give away money?
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:26
			Who should be leading? Where's the
Muslims? Do we respond to the
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:31
			fires, to respond to the floods?
No Palestine at a bomb. City at a
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:35
			bomb. Nobody's saying, don't have
your brothers and sisters. It
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:36
			starts at home. Yeah.
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:47
			For
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:53
			sharing his experience and his
wisdom, may Allah grant him and
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:57
