00:00:14--> 00:00:15

To give you a

00:00:16--> 00:00:19

to close and conclude also my remarks

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

and to give

00:00:21--> 00:00:23

you a loveliest, one of my favorite stories,

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

there was a

00:00:26--> 00:00:27

an alib,

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

there was a great scholar called Hatib

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

and he was called Hatib al Assam.

00:00:34--> 00:00:35

Al Assam was the title that was given

00:00:35--> 00:00:36

to him

00:00:37--> 00:00:39

because of another incident which I won't mention

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

now but very beautiful incident.

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

So the story is that Hatem al Assam

00:00:53--> 00:00:53

wanted

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

to go for Hajj.

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

Now Hati was a man who operated on

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

the principle of

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

Tawakkul.

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

He was known as Tawakkil

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

and his principle was that anything which he

00:01:06--> 00:01:07

considered to be which

00:01:08--> 00:01:10

is more than what is necessary, more than

00:01:10--> 00:01:12

what is critical to survival, he would give

00:01:12--> 00:01:13

away in charity.

00:01:15--> 00:01:18

Food or money or anything, he never kept

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

anything.

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

Right?

00:01:21--> 00:01:24

He believed in instant transfer to the everlasting

00:01:24--> 00:01:25

account.

00:01:26--> 00:01:27

On a side note, I want to mention

00:01:27--> 00:01:29

to you because this is something which we

00:01:29--> 00:01:30

get confused.

00:01:30--> 00:01:32

We think we are giving in charity. You're

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

not giving in charity, you're transferring from an

00:01:34--> 00:01:35

account which

00:01:35--> 00:01:36

is

00:01:36--> 00:01:37

which will finish

00:01:38--> 00:01:40

to an account which will never finish.

00:01:41--> 00:01:42

Transfer of wealth.

00:01:43--> 00:01:44

It's yours.

00:01:44--> 00:01:46

It is yours here and it is yours

00:01:46--> 00:01:48

also with Allah accept that when it is

00:01:48--> 00:01:50

with Allah, it remains. Here it goes away.

00:01:56--> 00:01:57

Allah said,

00:01:57--> 00:01:59

what is with you will disappear.

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

What is with you will vanish. What is

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

with you will perish. What is it that

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

Allah will remain.

00:02:06--> 00:02:08

So obviously, Hathim didn't have

00:02:09--> 00:02:10

too much of disposable income.

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

He wanted to go for Hajj and

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

he was very sad.

00:02:18--> 00:02:20

He was sitting one day in his house,

00:02:20--> 00:02:21

he was very sad.

00:02:22--> 00:02:24

He had a little daughter.

00:02:24--> 00:02:26

So his daughter came, she saw him, she

00:02:26--> 00:02:28

asked him, what happened? Why? He had tears

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

in his eyes. He said, why are you

00:02:29--> 00:02:30

crying?

00:02:32--> 00:02:33

So he said to her,

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

first, he didn't tell her. He said, what's

00:02:36--> 00:02:37

this little girl gonna do, you know?

00:02:39--> 00:02:40

He said, no, no, no, tell me.

00:02:41--> 00:02:42

And you know, our little girls are, right?

00:02:42--> 00:02:44

I mean absolutely the most powerful creatures in

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

the world, little girls.

00:02:46--> 00:02:48

We have this father who is 8 feet

00:02:48--> 00:02:50

tall and 6 feet wide and he's got,

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

you know, arms

00:02:51--> 00:02:53

like, truck tires and he's like

00:02:54--> 00:02:56

around his round her little finger.

00:02:58--> 00:03:00

So this little girl, she asked him, why

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

are you crying? What happened?

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

He said to her, I want to go

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

for Hajj and I can't go. He said,

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

why don't you go? Go.

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

He said, it's not so simple. He said,

00:03:10--> 00:03:12

the problem is that

00:03:13--> 00:03:15

I asked your mother whether she will allow

00:03:15--> 00:03:16

me to go

00:03:16--> 00:03:17

and this is not as far as Hajj

00:03:17--> 00:03:20

or something that is done. This is nothing.

00:03:20--> 00:03:22

So your mother quite rightly,

00:03:23--> 00:03:25

he's not he's not bad talking the mom

00:03:25--> 00:03:26

before the child.

00:03:27--> 00:03:29

So he said, your mother quite rightly told

00:03:29--> 00:03:31

me that if I go for Hajj, then

00:03:31--> 00:03:33

I must leave behind money, enough money for

00:03:33--> 00:03:34

all of you to

00:03:35--> 00:03:37

live comfortably until I come back and you're

00:03:37--> 00:03:39

talking about the days when going for Hajj

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

meant

00:03:40--> 00:03:41

they went before Ramadan.

00:03:42--> 00:03:45

They spent Ramadan there. They spent the next

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

2 months there. They finished Hajj, and then

00:03:46--> 00:03:48

they came back. So you're looking at about

00:03:48--> 00:03:49

a 6 month

00:03:49--> 00:03:52

period. Right? It's not a small you don't

00:03:52--> 00:03:53

just jump on a plane, come back 10

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

days later on.

00:03:56--> 00:03:57

So he said, well, you know, I want

00:03:57--> 00:03:59

your mother said this and I don't have

00:03:59--> 00:04:01

enough money for that. I just have enough

00:04:01--> 00:04:03

money for the to pay the caravan,

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

leader to take me, but nothing else.

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

So I can't go.

00:04:09--> 00:04:11

So this girl said, you don't worry about

00:04:11--> 00:04:14

my mother. You go for Hajj. You plan.

00:04:15--> 00:04:16

I will take care of mom.

00:04:17--> 00:04:19

So she went and she, you know, talked

00:04:19--> 00:04:20

to her mother into

00:04:20--> 00:04:22

allowing the father to go.

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

Then

00:04:24--> 00:04:25

very happy, he left.

00:04:28--> 00:04:30

Now as they were going in this caravan

00:04:31--> 00:04:33

about a day on,

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

a day later,

00:04:35--> 00:04:36

the caravan chief,

00:04:37--> 00:04:39

he got bitten by a scorpion

00:04:39--> 00:04:42

in the desert. He was in intense, severe

00:04:42--> 00:04:42

pain.

00:04:43--> 00:04:45

So people people know they they knew who

00:04:45--> 00:04:47

Atiullah was. So they called him and said,

00:04:47--> 00:04:49

sir, please make the dua for him. He's,

00:04:49--> 00:04:51

you know, maybe he'll die. We don't know

00:04:51--> 00:04:54

what I was saying. So Atiullah Assam made

00:04:54--> 00:04:55

dua, Allah you're the man.

00:04:56--> 00:04:58

So he made dua and he did that.

00:04:59--> 00:05:01

Now that man was so happy. He said

00:05:01--> 00:05:03

to Hadim Alassam, here is the money you

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

gave me. Here is the money back to

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

you. You are my guest. I will take

00:05:06--> 00:05:09

you and bring you back. Don't worry about

00:05:09--> 00:05:10

your expenses.

00:05:12--> 00:05:12

So

00:05:12--> 00:05:13

he

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

raised his hand and he said, you have

00:05:15--> 00:05:16

taken care of me.

00:05:18--> 00:05:20

Take care of my family.

00:05:24--> 00:05:25

Time passes,

00:05:25--> 00:05:27

Week passes. 2 weeks pass. 3 weeks pass.

00:05:27--> 00:05:30

Now there is trouble in the house because

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

money is running out, money has run out.

00:05:32--> 00:05:35

There is they're having problem now, food, this,

00:05:35--> 00:05:35

that.

00:05:36--> 00:05:38

So now everybody is on this girl's case,

00:05:38--> 00:05:40

and the mother says to the girl, you

00:05:40--> 00:05:41

are the problem. You made me do this.

00:05:41--> 00:05:43

I was telling a father not to worry.

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

He would have been here. None of this

00:05:44--> 00:05:45

would have happened.

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

But you convince me and now see what

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

happened.

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

This girl

00:05:50--> 00:05:51

is laughing,

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

which obviously makes everyone even more mad, you

00:05:56--> 00:05:57

know. Somebody asked me what should you do

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

if somebody is mad? I said laugh.

00:05:59--> 00:06:00

He said why? He said it will make

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

you they make them more mad, you know.

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

She's laughing.

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

So the mother said, wow. This is crazy.

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

We we are in difficulty here and so

00:06:10--> 00:06:11

on. You are laughing?

00:06:12--> 00:06:14

He she said to her, mom,

00:06:15--> 00:06:16

who left?

00:06:20--> 00:06:21

Who went from here?

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

Marzuk

00:06:25--> 00:06:26

or Arazakh?

00:06:28--> 00:06:28

Who went?

00:06:30--> 00:06:32

The one who was to receive provision

00:06:33--> 00:06:34

or the giver?

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

Who went?

00:06:37--> 00:06:37

He said, of course,

00:06:39--> 00:06:40

He said, then why are you crying?

00:06:46--> 00:06:47

He said why you upset?

00:06:48--> 00:06:50

Why your friend? Ar Razaq, he's there.

00:06:52--> 00:06:53

And he said,

00:07:03--> 00:07:06

This conversation is happening. There's a knock on

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

the door.

00:07:08--> 00:07:09

They will open the door.

00:07:10--> 00:07:12

It is the ADC. It is the the

00:07:12--> 00:07:14

military officer in command of

00:07:15--> 00:07:16

the governor.

00:07:16--> 00:07:18

He's standing there outside.

00:07:19--> 00:07:22

He says, the governor is passing by. We

00:07:22--> 00:07:23

have run out of water.

00:07:24--> 00:07:26

So can you give us some drinking water?

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

I said, of course. So they go, they

00:07:29--> 00:07:31

take water from the well, they put it

00:07:31--> 00:07:34

in a nice nice, jug, you know, they

00:07:34--> 00:07:35

put it in a nice tray, they put

00:07:35--> 00:07:36

a tray cloth and so on in a

00:07:36--> 00:07:38

nice way. They bring it and give it

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

to the ADC and he takes

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

it to the governor.

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

And the governor digs the water. Allah puts

00:07:47--> 00:07:48

Barakah in this.

00:07:49--> 00:07:51

He digs the water. He says, this water,

00:07:51--> 00:07:52

where did you get it from?

00:07:53--> 00:07:55

He says, hey. Any problem? No. No problem.

00:07:55--> 00:07:57

This is the sweetest, the nicest, the best

00:07:57--> 00:07:59

water I've ever drink in my life. Where

00:07:59--> 00:08:01

is the water from? So they said, from

00:08:01--> 00:08:02

this house.

00:08:02--> 00:08:04

He said, whose house is that? They said,

00:08:04--> 00:08:05

Hati Marasa.

00:08:07--> 00:08:09

He said, the scholar? I said, yes.

00:08:09--> 00:08:11

So he said, I want to meet him.

00:08:13--> 00:08:14

So they said to him, no. He's not

00:08:14--> 00:08:15

there. He's gone for Hajj.

00:08:16--> 00:08:18

So the governor says then

00:08:18--> 00:08:19

his family

00:08:19--> 00:08:22

are my guests until he returns.

00:08:22--> 00:08:24

Everything for them will be sent from the

00:08:24--> 00:08:25

palace.

00:08:26--> 00:08:27

Let them know

00:08:28--> 00:08:29

whatever they need.

00:08:32--> 00:08:33

Then the governor,

00:08:35--> 00:08:37

he rides his horse, you know those I

00:08:37--> 00:08:39

don't know the America, you don't have them,

00:08:39--> 00:08:41

but in in our countries we have

00:08:42--> 00:08:43

homes and then there is a courtyard and

00:08:43--> 00:08:46

there's a sort of high wall and then

00:08:46--> 00:08:47

the door in the courtyard so people from

00:08:47--> 00:08:49

outside can't look inside. Right? So there's a

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

there's a wall around.

00:08:51--> 00:08:53

The governor rides the rides his horse up

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

to the wall. He takes off his belt.

00:08:55--> 00:08:56

You know, they they used to wear these

00:08:56--> 00:08:57

belts. Very ornate

00:08:58--> 00:08:58

belts

00:08:58--> 00:08:59

with

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

jewels in them and then they had pockets

00:09:02--> 00:09:04

and the pockets have got good dinners full

00:09:04--> 00:09:05

full of them and whatnot.

00:09:06--> 00:09:08

The governor takes off his belt and he

00:09:08--> 00:09:09

throws it over the wall.

00:09:11--> 00:09:12

And then he says,

00:09:13--> 00:09:16

whoever is with me, whoever loves me, do

00:09:16--> 00:09:17

what I did.

00:09:17--> 00:09:18

So what do you think happens?

00:09:19--> 00:09:20

Even if you don't love the governor, you

00:09:20--> 00:09:22

better you better show that you love the

00:09:22--> 00:09:22

governor. Right?

00:09:24--> 00:09:25

So next thing they know,

00:09:26--> 00:09:29

they are inside, they see one belt land.

00:09:29--> 00:09:31

The belt land on the floor and it's

00:09:31--> 00:09:33

opens and there's gold

00:09:33--> 00:09:34

dinars everywhere.

00:09:35--> 00:09:37

Next thing they know, pouches of gold and

00:09:37--> 00:09:39

belts and this and that and stuff flying

00:09:39--> 00:09:40

over this wall.

00:09:41--> 00:09:44

Their whole courtyard is covered in gold.

00:09:45--> 00:09:47

They have enough money to last them till

00:09:47--> 00:09:48

the end of their lives.

00:09:52--> 00:09:52

Right?

00:09:54--> 00:09:57

So everyone is delighted. I'm very happy.

00:09:59--> 00:10:01

Then somebody says, where is this girl?

00:10:02--> 00:10:03

Where did she go?

00:10:04--> 00:10:06

They go looking for

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

And she

00:10:11--> 00:10:12

is sitting inside

00:10:13--> 00:10:14

weeping

00:10:18--> 00:10:19

weeping.

00:10:20--> 00:10:22

So the mother says to her, you are

00:10:22--> 00:10:24

a funny creature. He said, when we had

00:10:24--> 00:10:25

all this trouble, you were laughing.

00:10:26--> 00:10:29

Now we have all of this gore,

00:10:30--> 00:10:31

and you are crying.

00:10:34--> 00:10:34

Why?

00:10:35--> 00:10:36

Why are you crying?

00:10:39--> 00:10:40

The girl says,

00:10:42--> 00:10:44

when one slave of Allah

00:10:45--> 00:10:46

looked at us with karam,

00:10:47--> 00:10:50

when one slave of Allah looked at us

00:10:50--> 00:10:51

with kindness, this is what happened.

00:10:53--> 00:10:54

What do you think will happen

00:10:55--> 00:10:56

when we go before

00:10:59--> 00:11:00

when we go before

00:11:02--> 00:11:03

when we go before our

00:11:05--> 00:11:06

and he looks at us with karma.

00:11:10--> 00:11:12

I began by saying, what is the first

00:11:12--> 00:11:15

thing to do? Taluk with Allah,

00:11:15--> 00:11:16

connection with Allah.

00:11:18--> 00:11:19

This is what you must build.

00:11:20--> 00:11:23

It's not anything else. This is what even

00:11:23--> 00:11:25

if you become the grand Mufti of whatever

00:11:25--> 00:11:27

country and you do not have a connection

00:11:27--> 00:11:28

with Allah,

00:11:28--> 00:11:31

that knowledge will not help you one shot.

00:11:32--> 00:11:34

And if you are and may Allah make

00:11:34--> 00:11:36

us like that, if we are like that

00:11:36--> 00:11:37

little girl,

00:11:37--> 00:11:39

the daughter of Hadith Malasam,

00:11:40--> 00:11:41

she's not a grand mousti.

00:11:41--> 00:11:43

I don't know if she was happy to

00:11:43--> 00:11:43

call her.

00:11:44--> 00:11:46

I don't think she wrote any books,

00:11:47--> 00:11:49

but she was connected

00:11:50--> 00:11:51

with Allah.

00:11:55--> 00:11:56

If we have that,

00:11:57--> 00:11:58

believe me there is no wealth in the

00:11:58--> 00:11:59

world.

00:11:59--> 00:12:01

Which can equal that?

00:12:03--> 00:12:03

Ask Allah

00:12:04--> 00:12:06

to enable us to use this Ramadan

00:12:07--> 00:12:08

for the purpose that Allah sends Ramadan,

00:12:09--> 00:12:11

which is to connect himself to us.

00:12:11--> 00:12:13

Ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Taala to fill

00:12:14--> 00:12:16

our hearts with his nur and with his

00:12:16--> 00:12:18

grace and with his mercy. Ask Allah Subhanahu

00:12:18--> 00:12:20

Wa Taala to illuminate our hearts with His

00:12:20--> 00:12:22

Noor so that it drives out

00:12:23--> 00:12:25

all other darkness of everything.

00:12:26--> 00:12:27

I ask Allah

00:12:27--> 00:12:30

to be pleased with all of you. Allah

00:12:30--> 00:12:32

has blessed us with this deen, with this

00:12:32--> 00:12:35

beautiful religion of Islam, which is from him.

00:12:37--> 00:12:39

Islam is not anybody's creation, it's not somebody's

00:12:39--> 00:12:42

invention, it's not a theory, it's not a,

00:12:42--> 00:12:44

you know, it's not a philosophy, it is

00:12:44--> 00:12:45

the deen of Allah.

00:12:52--> 00:12:54

Allah said on this day I have completed

00:12:55--> 00:12:58

on you this deed, this way of life,

00:12:58--> 00:12:58

this religion.

00:13:01--> 00:13:02

I have completed my

00:13:03--> 00:13:04

my blessing on you and I have chosen

00:13:04--> 00:13:07

for you Islam as your king. This is

00:13:07--> 00:13:09

that He gave it to us.

00:13:07--> 00:13:09

that He gave it to us.
