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