My brothers and sisters,
his name he was Khalibullah,
And Allah
loved him, so He tested him.
In each test, by the help of Allah,
he proved true to his covenant with Allah.
So Allah gave him the job of building
his house, the Kaaba.
Allah
said,
said,
Allah
said,
and remember when we assigned to Ibrahim
the sight of the house saying,
do not associate anything with me in worship
and purify my house for those who circle
the Kaaba, who make tawaf,
who stand in prayer,
and who bow and prostrate themselves,
Ruqai Sudur,
Ruqo, and Sajdah.
Call all people
to the pilgrimage
to the Hajj.
They will come to you on foot and
on every lean camel from every distant path
so they may obtain the benefits in store
for them
and pronounce the name of Allah
on appointed days over the sacrificial animals,
meaning they will sacrifice animals.
He has provided for them.
So eat their meat and feed the destitute,
feed the poor.
The Hajj is the story of Ibrahim, alayhis
salaam, and his family and the tests that
they faced and passed.
Allah
loved this so much
that he made their actions
the rights
of the greatest
act of worship,
the reward for which
is total forgiveness.
Allah made Hajj Farb on all those who
can afford it,
obligatory on all those
who can afford it at least once in
their lifetimes.
Which means surely
the first house of worship
established for humanity is the one at Makkah,
a blessed sanctuary
and a guide for all people.
In it are clear signs and the standing
place of Ibrahim.
Whoever enters it should be safe.
Pilgrimage to this house
is an obligation by Allah
upon whoever is able among the people.
And whoever disbelieves,
then surely Allah
is not in need of his creation.
The reciting of Tanbiyyah declares that we are
ready to obey Allah
without question
because we know Allah and love him
over and above anyone and anything else.
Then we don't, we put on the Iharam.
Men in 2 pieces of unstitched cloth,
nothing else to remind ourselves
of our reality and how we will be
dressed when we leave this world.
Shorn
of all our worldly symbols of wealth and
status.
This reminds us of the true brotherhood of
faith in which the single adhesives
is our connection with Allah.
Everyone reciting the
Everyone reciting the same Talbia,
everyone making the same declaration,
everyone seeking the same goal,
the riddah of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala. And it reminds us of the
true
brotherhood that transcends
all boundaries of race and color and tribe
and social rank.
It reminds us of how we will be
gathered before
Allah on a day
where everyone will get justice.
We ask Allah
for his mercy.
Then we go to the next stage of
making tawaf of the Kaaba
and praying in the place of Ibrahim, alayhis
salaam, which
Allah made a place of worship.
We follow in the footsteps of our mother
Hajar, Alaihi Salam, and the the wife of
Ibrahim, Alaihi Salam, and emulate
her actions
in the of
climbing the 2 hills of
and running between them in the valley.
She did it because she was looking for
help for herself and her infant son.
We do it because she did it.
The actions of one woman
became the rituals of worship
performed by every hadi
of every race from every part of the
world
for the last 5000 years.
By all the prophets and messengers,
including
These actions demonstrate the essence
of That doesn't mean to do nothing and
wait for victory.
It means to make the maximum effort that
you can make, but to rely on Allah
for the
results. Our arms and legs and back
are tired, but the heart is at peace.
In Hajj, Allah
reminded us about the great final and greatest
test that Ibrahim alayhi salaam
faced.
1 at an advanced age
when he was finally blessed.
He had finally been blessed with a son
that he had been asking Allah
for for decades,
and the other
as soon as he was old enough to
walk with his father.
Allah
Then when the boy reached the age to
walk with him,
Ibrahim
said, oh, my dear sir, I have seen
in a dream that I must sacrifice you.
So look
in your heart
and what do you see?
He replied, oh my dear father,
do as you are commanded.
By the will of Allah, Insha Allah, you
will find me steadfast.
I always marvel
at this conversation
between a 90 year old father and his
little son who is seeing his father for
almost the first time.
He was raised by his mother in an
alien environment among strangers who didn't even speak
their language.
Yet when his father asks
this question,
see the answer of total submission that he
gets.
After all, he was the son of the
one about whom Allah
said,
When his love ordered him, submit to my
will, he responded, I submit
to the love of all the worlds.
Continues.
Then when they submitted to Allah's will and
Ibrahim
Alaihi Salam
laid him on his forehead or on the
side of his head for sacrifice.
We called out to him. Allah
directly spoke to Baidu.
Yeah, Ibrahim,
you have already fulfilled the vision.
Indeed,
you have all filled fulfilled the vision meaning,
fulfilled
the dream that was given to you. Indeed,
this is how we reward
the good doers.
That was truly
a revealing test,
and we ransomed
his son with a great sacrifice
and blessed
Ibrahim with honorable mention
among later generations.
This action of this
is emulated in our udiyyah, in our
in the Hali, during the
Hajj all over the world.
In Hajj, we remind ourselves
that we are enacting a way of life
that is beloved to Allah,
a life of obedience without question.
In the journey of Hajj, we begin by
reminding ourselves that one day,
we will meet Allah
in the state that we came into this
world
without any of whatever
we had accumulated.
We relive
the actions of the family that Allah
praised
for their obedience
and honored them by turning their actions into
rights of worship.
Then we sacrifice the animal
symbolizing our desires
that are the root of our problems and
emerge from this beautiful
clean as the day we were born.
We are in the blessed days of the
which Allah
mentioned in the Quran and took an oath
by
them. Allah said, well,
by the dawn and by the 10 nights.
These are so important that
Allah took an oath by these days.
And others
said that this refers to the first 10
days of the
reported that Rasulullah
said, there are no days in which righteous
deeds, good deeds are more beloved to Allah
than during these 10 days.
In another place with a different wording even
Abbas, uh-uh, narrated,
there is no deed more precious in the
sight of Allah
nor greater in reward
than a good deed done during the 10
days of sacrifice.
The people asked, not even jihad for the
sake of Allah?
And he said Rasulullah
said, not even jihad for the sake of
Allah, except in the case of a man
who went out to fight, giving himself and
his wealth up for the cause
and did not return
Came back with nothing, meaning did not return.
These texts and others indicate that these 10
days are better than all the other days
of the year with no exceptions.
Not even the last 10 days of Ramadan.
But the last 10 nights of Ramadan are
better because they include letters of color,
which is better than a 1000 months.
And so, therefore, the various reports
may be reconciled.
Among the best deeds to be done during
these days is fasting.
Allah
chose fasting for himself
as he as stated in the Hadith al
Qudsi,
the meaning of which is Allah
said,
all the deeds of the son of Adam
are for him except for fasting
which is for me and I am the
one who will reward it, reward him for
it.
It is sunnah to fast on the 9th
day of the hija,
and that is, Insha'Allah,
expiation
of sins of the year before and ahead
of it.
Rasul
used to fast all the all the first
9 days of Dhul Hijjah, and that is
the best way of doing it.
It is soon not to say
that, during the first 10 days of Dhul
Hijjah, and to say it aloud in every
place where it is permitted to remember Allah
as a proclamation
of the greatness to Allah.
The reviving aspects of the sunnah that have
been virtually forgotten brings immense reward.
As the sun said,
whoever revives
an aspect of my sunnah that is forgotten
after my death, he will have a reward
equivalent to that of the people who follow
him without it detracting
in the least from their reward.
And this is the thing with me. I
remind myself and you to do
more good deeds
during these
days. Don't waste time in useless arguments
and debates
about moon sighting or anything else.
Keep hearts together
and
We who have not gone for Hajj should
occupy ourselves by worshiping
Allah extra, praying
after 4, making zikr, reading Quran, remembering Allah
making dua,
giving charity,
honoring our parents,
upholding the ties of kinship and relationship,
enjoying what is good and forbidding what is
evil and other good deeds and acts of
worship.
One of the most important things to do
during these 10 days is to repent sincerely
to Allah and to give up all kinds
of disobedience
and sin.
Repentance means returning to the obedience of Allah
away from all that he dislikes
with deep regret for what has passed.
That is very important. The heart has to
change.
Giving them giving up the bad deeds, giving
up whatever Haram you were doing immediately,
and being determined
never to return to them, but to adhere
firmly
to the truth
by doing what Allah loves.
Let us purify our earnings and food because
we don't know when we will die.
Fulfill the rights of others
and return people's trusts because
Allah will not forgive the person until the
one he wronged forgives him first.
Seek forgiveness
before it is too late.
Finally, the best deed to do on either
or
the day of sacrifice
is to sacrifice an animal for the sake
of
Allah The sacrifice, the
or anyone
who is liable to pay Zakat.
Even if he became eligible
on that day.
The blessing, the barakah, is for the entire
family.
The time for sacrifice
is after
Eid,
salah
and not before.
On the day of Eid, which is the
10th of, it is to
bathe, wear good or new clothes, and go
to the place of prayer,
reciting
and to continue to do that until the
imam comes to start the breath.
Please do not pray the
when you come for each salah.
The Eid salah has no
and is followed by the Khutba of Eid,
which is very important to listen to. Please
don't get up as soon as the salah
is over unless you have an emergency. Continue
to remain seated. Don't talk to people and
listen to the and make dua, and then
get up and meet and greet your brothers
and sisters before you go home.
May
Allah grant us a
to do what pleases
him
especially during these days and to continue that
during the rest of our lives.
Let this be
a time of transformation,
not a time
of episodic action which reverse to the default
when the time has passed.
May
Allah ease the path of those who have
gone for Hajj and honor them as his
guests
and make them our intercessors.
Remind them to make dua for us when
they stand in alpha
and to ask Allah
for his mercy. May Allah
cover them with his mercy and accept their
dua
and give them more from his bounty.
May they be counted among those
about whom Rasulullah
said in the Hadith in Musa Riva Ahmed,
the Saudi Hadith, Abdullah
reported that Rasulullah
said, verily Allah
boasts to his angels
of the pilgrims
on the afternoon of the day of Arafat
saying, look at my slaves coming to me
disabled and dusty.
Grant
us the opportunity
and ability to make Hajj again and again.
In advance to all of you,
may Allah
make this eve the best yet of your
lives and give you many more to follow,
Insha'Allah.
