Be part of the Ummah of Rasool
Allah
and I am reminded by him
in his football with that
that
that's how I'm gonna have
given up hope in deceiving
us in the big thing.
No more will you find a sensible person
worth it being a stone
or worshiping,
some other
kind of creation of their own hands.
But what you will find are people
who they worship as the prophet of the
nation warned us.
He warned us about another kind of worship
that there will be people
who would worship their race.
And so he reminds us there is no
superiority
of the Arab over the
So be careful about taking care of your
women.
And we live in a world today where
women are still abused with alhamdulillah.
If you go on Hajj,
to come
every race, every color, every class,
all
now equal in the sight of Allah
This is amazing
because in America today,
they will tell you the biggest problem
is still the problem of race and class
agenda.
The prophet
gave us an example in
this
celebration
of Hidaylah
of 1 family,
that I will prioritize
my life to put my life in the
one that Allah wants my life to be
in. And after that,
I am sure that my effort, Allah will
take care of me.
Whether it is Hajar Mani Khozanzil
or whether it is for Ismail
offering himself
to be sacrificed
or even aim to lead the family that
he loved because of the command of Allah.
Each one of them they did what Allah
asked them to do, putting their priorities second
to what Allah's priority is.
And so there was no issues
between them.
Hajar doesn't say, because you're my husband,
as one demanded.
No corruption on that day.
To live millions of us from all over
the world speaking different languages
for 1 week for
why this world is spinning in all of
its problems with war, violence, and and conflict,
that there is an example from the prophet
to
give hope to all of humanity.
Hope that all of us can live together.
Hope that we can have justice.
Hope that we will share our resource
and to transcend
all of that little thing that Shaikan
comes to deceive us with.
Many years ago, I was on Hajj.
Maybe if you don't know, I'm African American.
I grew up in an America where if
you lived in Virginia,
you had to go to the black water
fountain and the white water fountain.
And if you went deeper south, you certainly
couldn't go in certain restaurants. This is in
America.
And even in the 19 seventies,
they were trying to integrate the school, T.
C. Wood.
There was still this issue. Even in the
election of Barack Obama as president,
people were still asking the race question.
They asked the gender question about Hillary
Clinton. That this issue still pervade the society's
money.
When, the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, and Allah's dean
perfected this
centuries
ago. Years ago, I was performing high.
And you know when you are making du'a
around the Kaaba,
that it becomes very it's very crowded.
And if you're in a battle like that,
and I see some people who are on
hikes,
with with me.
When you're on a hikes like that, you
you can get lost. If you if you
lose a roof, what's going to do that?
So while we're making tawaf, I saw a
man and his wife
with 2
small children and one older child.
It's over 100 degrees.
And the father is holding all children
while staying close to his wife in the
whole time.
And I can see after making it to
a while for them that he's becoming very
tired.
But I know an ego.
We're straight. We don't know each other.
The only thing that we know is that
we're all brought here by the invitation
of Allah.
I'm
black. Maybe he's from another race. I don't
know what booty is.
We don't speak many of the same language.
But I looked at him as a father,
and I saw that he was becoming weary
carrying his child. He had to make 7
in service around the town.
And so I adjusted to him as a
brother in Islam.
I will carry your child for you.
And he looks at me,
and then he looks at his wife.
Should I give this man that I don't
know
and the crowd of of 6,000,000 people, should
I give him my time?
So I reached my arm out and I
put my arm around his
arm. And what happened to that,
he gave me his child.
That act we made for once together praising
Allah.
We don't even know his mother's name.
All we know is that to get through
this night, we have to get through it
together.
Sometimes we have to rely on one another.
That we would walk together, alhamdulillah, in peace,
in love and trust for one another.
Alhamdulillah,
that Allah might accept our worth
and give us the reward.
Oh, Allah, we ask for your mercy on
your peace on this earth.
