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
