Johari Abdul-Malik – DAH & MASCC Eid Al Adha Imam Johari Abdul Malik

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56

Is witnessing

00:00:57 --> 00:01:00

people of every color, of every race, of

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

every language coming together saying,

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13

It is our father Ibrahim

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

who was given the challenge

00:01:17 --> 00:01:17

to call

00:01:18 --> 00:01:19

all of humanity.

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

Ibrahim

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23

made that call,

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25

but he didn't make it by himself.

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

Ibrahim alaihis salam

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

had his wife, Hajar,

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

who said that whatever it is that Allah

00:01:34 --> 00:01:37

is pleased with, then Allah will take care

00:01:37 --> 00:01:37

of me.

00:01:38 --> 00:01:39

That Abu Hamdulillah,

00:01:40 --> 00:01:41

a son Ishmael,

00:01:42 --> 00:01:45

who said, father, whatever Allah asks you to

00:01:45 --> 00:01:48

do, I know that Allah knows what he's

00:01:48 --> 00:01:49

doing. And, alhamdulillah,

00:01:50 --> 00:01:51

you will find me obedient.

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

So you have in that family

00:01:54 --> 00:01:56

a righteous husband,

00:01:56 --> 00:01:58

a righteous wife,

00:01:58 --> 00:02:00

and a righteous child.

00:02:00 --> 00:02:01

That, walhamdulillah,

00:02:02 --> 00:02:03

they will establish

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

the place that we turn to

00:02:05 --> 00:02:06

every day,

00:02:06 --> 00:02:09

5 times a day to worship Allah.

00:02:10 --> 00:02:11

Walhamdulillah.

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

You will find in this time,

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16

every village

00:02:17 --> 00:02:18

will have some people

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

who are leaving their homes

00:02:22 --> 00:02:26

and going to worship Allah answering that call.

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

Well, hamdulillah,

00:02:28 --> 00:02:29

you will find

00:02:30 --> 00:02:31

in that union

00:02:33 --> 00:02:34

people who,

00:02:34 --> 00:02:36

for the period of those

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

10 blessed days

00:02:38 --> 00:02:40

that Allah mentions in the Quran,

00:02:41 --> 00:02:43

followed by these days of Eid,

00:02:44 --> 00:02:45

today,

00:02:45 --> 00:02:46

tomorrow,

00:02:46 --> 00:02:47

and Monday,

00:02:48 --> 00:02:49

you will find

00:02:49 --> 00:02:50

human beings

00:02:51 --> 00:02:51

operating

00:02:52 --> 00:02:53

as any

00:02:54 --> 00:02:54

top wings.

00:02:56 --> 00:02:58

Acting as if they are made in the

00:02:58 --> 00:02:59

best mode.

00:03:00 --> 00:03:03

Made by Allah to be brothers and sisters.

00:03:04 --> 00:03:06

To be friends to a stranger.

00:03:06 --> 00:03:09

To provide safety and security

00:03:09 --> 00:03:10

for their neighbor.

00:03:10 --> 00:03:13

To provide food for those who are hungry.

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

You will find in this example,

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19

for those who are on Hajj,

00:03:20 --> 00:03:21

maybe 4,000,000,000,

00:03:22 --> 00:03:23

maybe 6,000,000,000

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

who will say in those days, walhamdulillah,

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

I didn't see any racism.

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

I didn't see what they have in Ferguson,

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

where there's police brutality

00:03:36 --> 00:03:39

and they're killing one group and not another.

00:03:39 --> 00:03:42

You will find people protecting one another on

00:03:42 --> 00:03:42

high.

00:03:43 --> 00:03:44

If you are

00:03:45 --> 00:03:46

lost on the hand,

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49

the people will take you in. SubhanAllah.

00:03:50 --> 00:03:53

You will never have to worry once you

00:03:53 --> 00:03:54

get on the journey for Allah.

00:03:56 --> 00:03:58

My challenge for you today, Birmidillah,

00:03:58 --> 00:04:00

those of us who are here,

00:04:01 --> 00:04:02

let us live

00:04:03 --> 00:04:05

like we are living in the days of

00:04:05 --> 00:04:06

ice.

00:04:07 --> 00:04:08

Let us, walhamdillah,

00:04:09 --> 00:04:12

love each other the way the Hijayeds love

00:04:12 --> 00:04:13

each other.

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16

Let us take time to worship Allah

00:04:17 --> 00:04:20

the way we take time to worship Allah

00:04:20 --> 00:04:21

when we are on high.

00:04:22 --> 00:04:23

It is for us a simple,

00:04:25 --> 00:04:26

that will make

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

the earth that we live on better.

00:04:30 --> 00:04:31

I ask Allah

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

to accept our prayer

00:04:34 --> 00:04:36

that Allah will make us better,

00:04:38 --> 00:04:39

to forgive us of our sins,

00:05:00 --> 00:05:02

I want to remind you,

00:05:02 --> 00:05:04

brothers and sisters, that Allah is great.

00:05:05 --> 00:05:07

That Allah is great.

00:05:08 --> 00:05:10

That no matter how many trials we see

00:05:10 --> 00:05:11

around the world

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

that what? By the way, sisters,

00:05:16 --> 00:05:17

sisters, we gather in * of a world.

00:05:19 --> 00:05:20

The brothers can't see you, but I can

00:05:20 --> 00:05:21

see

00:05:22 --> 00:05:23

you. And I can hear you and they

00:05:23 --> 00:05:25

can hear you. With that, give us just

00:05:25 --> 00:05:26

a few minutes.

00:05:27 --> 00:05:29

Then it's all right. They can concentrate.

00:05:31 --> 00:05:32

If you can imagine, Wilhamdulillah,

00:05:34 --> 00:05:37

in the turmoil that the world is in

00:05:39 --> 00:05:41

today, in every part of the world, you

00:05:41 --> 00:05:41

see violence.

00:05:43 --> 00:05:44

You see disease.

00:05:45 --> 00:05:47

Right now in West Africa, Ebola.

00:05:49 --> 00:05:50

And I know

00:05:51 --> 00:05:53

that the world is a global village. So

00:05:53 --> 00:05:56

if something happens in a village in Africa,

00:05:57 --> 00:05:58

if we don't attend to it, it may

00:05:58 --> 00:06:00

affect the villages we live in.

00:06:01 --> 00:06:03

And so was Ahmed Alai. We are all

00:06:03 --> 00:06:04

joined together,

00:06:05 --> 00:06:07

not just in the visceral of heights,

00:06:08 --> 00:06:10

but in our environment, our mutuality

00:06:11 --> 00:06:12

in this global village.

00:06:13 --> 00:06:15

I want to remind you today,

00:06:16 --> 00:06:17

in your own here,

00:06:18 --> 00:06:20

share some of what you have

00:06:21 --> 00:06:22

with your neighbor.

00:06:24 --> 00:06:25

Take go and knock on the door of

00:06:25 --> 00:06:27

your neighbor and say, I don't know if

00:06:27 --> 00:06:29

you know what today is. Today,

00:06:29 --> 00:06:31

we're celebrating the longest migration

00:06:32 --> 00:06:35

internationally of any religion on earth,

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38

And I wanted to share some of the

00:06:38 --> 00:06:39

joy with us.

00:06:40 --> 00:06:42

They will happily learn that they can see

00:06:42 --> 00:06:44

a different face of Islam.

00:06:45 --> 00:06:46

They will happily learn

00:06:47 --> 00:06:47

right now

00:07:02 --> 00:07:03

that people

00:07:03 --> 00:07:05

behave as they do on high.

00:07:06 --> 00:07:06

If we could

00:07:07 --> 00:07:08

share that method

00:07:09 --> 00:07:11

of love for Allah and devotion,

00:07:12 --> 00:07:13

we

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

could change the world.

00:07:16 --> 00:07:17

There are people who say

00:07:18 --> 00:07:20

that there is no hope for our planet.

00:07:22 --> 00:07:25

When you see the example of what we

00:07:25 --> 00:07:25

did today,

00:07:27 --> 00:07:29

I know that Allah has given us this

00:07:29 --> 00:07:29

day

00:07:30 --> 00:07:32

that we might have hope in Allah

00:07:33 --> 00:07:35

for the best in this life

00:07:36 --> 00:07:37

and the best in the hereafter.

00:07:38 --> 00:07:40

May Allah reward you in this day. Enjoy

00:07:40 --> 00:07:41

your family.

00:07:42 --> 00:07:43

Spend time, alhamdulillah,

00:07:44 --> 00:07:46

praising Allah in your

00:08:42 --> 00:08:45

I never known Samir Abuisa to invite me

00:08:45 --> 00:08:46

to a party before.

00:08:49 --> 00:08:50

They'll eat if that is free

00:08:51 --> 00:08:52

by your donations.

00:08:53 --> 00:08:55

There will be a cost for the food.

00:08:56 --> 00:08:56

My

00:09:07 --> 00:09:09

and Allah might reward you.

00:09:12 --> 00:09:14

Allahu Akbar Allah.
