00:04:50 --> 00:04:54
			As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi ta'ala wa
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			barakatuh.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:01
			We have a very honoured sheikh with us
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:06
			today, and it is my honour and my
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:10
			privilege, I'm humbled to introduce Sheikh Mohammed Murad.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:15
			Sheikh is an ambassador for SANSF today, an
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:18
			important position.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:23
			Sheikh Mohammed, everybody, and Sheikh didn't want me
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:26
			to introduce him with all of this, but
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:29
			it's important that we know where our ulema
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:30
			come from.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:35
			Sheikh Mohammed completed his hijab under Sheikh Mohammed
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:38
			Saleh Abadi at the age of 11.
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:44
			At the age of 11, Sheikh also studied
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:47
			at a very famous place in Makkah, it's
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:52
			still around till today, it's called Madrasa Sulutiyah,
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:56
			where very eminent ulema have graduated from.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:59
			And we have many of them that still
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:02
			come around to the NJC, and it was
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			in that way that we learned about them.
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:09
			Sheikh was also the imam of Muhammadiyah Masjid
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:12
			in Salt River for a period of 8
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:16
			years, and here comes the important, Sheikh was
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:19
			the imam of Zina tul Islam Masjid in
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:21
			Muir Street for 29 years.
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			I don't know how long an imam can
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:28
			last, but yes, Allah, Sheikh, the community can
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			sometimes be hard.
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			And as an imam, how long can you
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:31
			last?
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:35
			Allah grant you all goodness and blessings, Sheikh,
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:38
			you are a true example to us and
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			we are honoured to have you in the
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:43
			community of Cape Town.
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			And then Sheikh is also the first one
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			to start an anti-drug campaign.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:52
			So, Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen, we are thankful for
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:55
			Sheikh Muhammad Murad to be with us, and
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			we thank Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, wa
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			nasallahu wa ta'ala, an ya ja'al
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02
			hadratak minal mutaqeen, wa minal muhsinin, wa min
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:05
			ibadil salihin, ameen Ya Rabbil Alameen.
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:50
			In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:51
			Merciful.
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen, wa salatu wa salamu ala
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:01
			ashrafil anbiya wal mursaleen, Sayyidina wa nabiyyina wa
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:04
			habibina wa shafi'ina wa mawlana Muhammad salallahu
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:07
			alayhi wa sallam wa ala alihi wa ashabihi
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:08
			ajma'een.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11
			All praise, thanks and gratitude is due to
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13
			Allah, Lord of the Universe.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:17
			Our mercy, blessings, salutations, love and compassion on
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:20
			our beloved Prophet Muhammad salallahu alayhi wa alihi
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:23
			wa sallam, his family and friends and those
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			who follow in their guidance until the day
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			of judgement.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:32
			Beloved brothers and sisters, respected President of the
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:38
			Majlis al-Qadha al-Islami, respected President, ulema,
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:44
			hufadh, mothers and fathers, I greet you with
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:45
			a wonderful greeting of Islam.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi ta'ala wa
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			barakatuh.
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:54
			It was not necessary for the long introduction.
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			It is appreciated.
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:58
			Jazakumullahu khayran.
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:03
			My answer to all that, even the 29
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:09
			years that was mentioned, this can only come
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			from Allah's subhanahu wa ta'ala's virtue.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:16
			None of us can survive or do anything
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19
			without Allah's subhanahu wa ta'ala's will and
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:22
			Allah's subhanahu wa ta'ala's desire and for
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:26
			that we are thankful to our creator, Allah
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			subhanahu wa ta'ala, for who has blessed
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:31
			us to be able to stand out for
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:35
			so long under one banner for so long
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			and to withstand everything.
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:40
			But if we think back, how the anbiya
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			alayhimu s-salatu wa s-salam, in propagating
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:45
			the deen of Islam, the amount of patience
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:48
			and perseverance they had to have, and once
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			you think about them, it gives you that
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			ease and comfort to think what we are
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:53
			going through is absolutely nothing.
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:56
			I've chosen a topic today and we are
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			a few days away from it.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:01
			And the topic is the significance of the
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:02
			month of Dhul Hijjah.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			And the reason why I have chosen this,
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			is that sometimes we are aware of the
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:12
			fact, because we live under these conditions and
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:17
			circumstances, we find ourselves focusing on a Gregorian
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:20
			calendar and we sometimes forget about our Islamic
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21
			calendar.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, in the
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:27
			glorious Qur'an, in Surah At-Tawbah, verse
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			36, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, بَعْدَ
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:32
			أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:35
			الرَّحِيمِ إِنَّ عِدَّةَ الشُّهُورِ عَنْدَ اللَّهِ اثْنَى عَشْرَ
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:39
			شَهْرًا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:45
			مِنْهَا أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ ذَلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ فَلَا تَظْلِمُوا
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:50
			فِيهِنَّ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَقَاتِلُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ كَافَّةً كَمَا يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:55
			كَافَّةً وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الْمُتَّقِينَ صَلَقَ اللَّهُ
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58
			الْعَظِيمُ The number of months that Allah subhanahu
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			wa'ta'ala has chosen for us.
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			This is in the sight of Allah subhanahu
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:02
			wa'ta'ala is twelve.
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			Ordained by Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala.
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:08
			Four of those months are sacred and Allah
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:12
			subhanahu wa'ta'ala says most importantly فَلَا تَظْلِمُوا
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			فِيهِنَّ أَنفُسَكُمْ Do not wrong yourselves.
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:16
			Do not oppress yourselves.
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:19
			Do not do anything wrong during these sacred
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:19
			months.
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:21
			And why I have said that?
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:26
			An emphasis would be فَلَا تَظْلِمُوا فِيهِنَّ أَنفُسَكُمْ
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:30
			Do you know that times like this people
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:33
			are already preparing the limousines, they are preparing
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:37
			the suits for the matric balls, they are
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:41
			preparing for all these occasions but they forget
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:44
			one of the greatest occasions is lying ahead
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			of us and that is the days of
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			Dhul Hijjah and the day of Arafat.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49
			We forget about that.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:53
			The importance of these ten days of Dhul
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:56
			Hijjah that is coming up starts from now
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			already we are in the month of Dhul
		
00:11:58 --> 00:11:58
			Qidah.
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			And when Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala says there
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:04
			is four months, four months that are sacred
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:09
			مِنْهَا أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ That sacred four رَسُولُ اللهِ
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:12
			صَلَى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمُ came to explain
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:14
			to us what is the four months that
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			are sacred and that is the month of
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:19
			Dhul Qidah, the month of Dhul Hijjah, the
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:22
			month of Muharram, and the month of Rajab.
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:27
			Now when we say Rasulullah ﷺ came to
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:29
			teach us those four sacred months because we
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:34
			believe and understand that Muhammad ﷺ's words is
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:36
			the explanatory version of the Quran.
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40
			Rasulullah ﷺ came to explain the Quran to
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:44
			us and that makes it so important that
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:47
			we understand the sayings of Rasulullah ﷺ.
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:54
			Allah ﷻ furthermore takes an oath.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:57
			Now when I say takes an oath or
		
00:12:57 --> 00:12:58
			a Qasam, it is not like any one
		
00:12:58 --> 00:12:59
			of us could do.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:01
			You know we say Wallahi for anything.
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			We sometimes say Wallahi even to justify our
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:04
			lies.
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:08
			Allah ﷻ when Allah takes a Qasam, Allah
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:12
			takes a Qasam by something that is great
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:15
			and something that is sacred and we must
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:17
			understand the greatness of it.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:20
			Allah ﷻ in Surah Al-Fajr, Bismillahir Rahmanir
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:26
			Rahim, وَالْفَجْرِ وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرٍ وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:31
			يَسْرُ هَلْ فِي ذَلِكَ قَسَمُ اللِّذِي حَجْرٍ Here
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:35
			Allah ﷻ is telling us the importance of
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:39
			the ten days of Dhul Hijjah and the
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41
			emphasis would be and the reason why we
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:44
			have to emphasize the importance of it is
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:47
			what we can do during those particular days
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:52
			to uplift our spirituality so that we can
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:55
			try and be on par with those that
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:58
			will be culminating the day of Arafat.
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:01
			Our Hijjaj have left, there's more leaving, there's
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:03
			more traveling to Mecca to go and perform
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:06
			the Hajj but Allah ﷻ says by the
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:10
			daybreak, وَالْفَجْرِ وَالْيَالٍ عَشْرٍ and the ten nights
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:15
			and the even and the odd truly it
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:20
			is an oath of understanding قَسَمُ اللِّذِي حَجْرٍ
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:23
			Now if you look at the Tafseer of
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:26
			Ibn Kathir رحمه الله تعالى Ibn Kathir in
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:29
			his book he concurs with Ibn Abbas رضي
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:32
			الله عنه and talking about the explanation of
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:36
			this particular verse they both agree that the
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:38
			Layal al-Ashr would be the ten nights
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:41
			of Dhul Hijjah and the word Ash-Shafi'
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:44
			meaning the day of sacrifice and Al-Witr
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:47
			would refer to the day of Arafat that
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49
			it be they would concur on that matter
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:52
			Where did they get their understanding from?
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:59
			From Rasulullah ﷺ again Rasulullah ﷺ says عن
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:03
			جابرٍ رضي الله تعالى عن نبي ﷺ أن
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:09
			النبي ﷺ قد قال إِنَّ الْعَشْرُ الْأَضْحَىٰ وَالْوِتْرُ
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:14
			يَوْمُ عَرَفَهِ وَالشَّفْعُ يَوْمُ النَّحْرِ رَوَاهُ النَّسَاءِ This
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:16
			has been reported in the book of Nasa
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:20
			'i Now this is where Ibn Kathir and
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:23
			Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنه got their explanation
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:27
			from Rasulullah ﷺ as to the true meaning
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:34
			of وَالْفَجْرِ وَلَيَالٍ عَشْرِ Brothers and sisters as
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:35
			we are moving out of the month of
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:38
			Dhul Qa'dah and we are moving closer to
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:41
			the month of Dhul Hijjah there are many
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:45
			blessings opportunities that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:48
			has granted us and we need to seize
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:51
			every single opportunity to get closer to Allah
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:54
			subhanahu wa ta'ala yes we can do
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			it every day but there is certain times
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:59
			of the year that Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:01
			'ala has blessed us and Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:04
			ta'ala gave us a greater opportunity so
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:06
			we are talking about the 10 days of
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08
			Dhul Hijjah then there is the last 10
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:11
			of Ramadan in which is Laylatul Qadr then
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:15
			there is the first 10 of Muharram but
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:18
			here Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is making
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:21
			it clear to us that here we have
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:24
			we have the opportunity and the reason why
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:28
			these days of Dhul Hijjah become so significant
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:33
			and so important to us Firstly وَلِلَّهِ عَلَى
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:38
			النَّاسِ حَجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا Allah
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:40
			subhanahu wa ta'ala has made the Hajj
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:43
			compulsory on those who can afford to do
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:48
			so and they can complete the first pillar
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:51
			of Islam this is beautiful now we all
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:54
			look at مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا the last
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			part of the verse and we say but
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:59
			مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا we must be financially
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:00
			ready No!
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:03
			مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا has got a much
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:09
			broader understanding physically financially spiritually this is all
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:16
			part of مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا all part
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:20
			of مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا that you must
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:23
			be prepared to do your performance of Hajj
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:26
			now on a lighter note I know sheikh
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			might not agree with me but only if
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:30
			Sauk allows you but you know I can
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:33
			tell you this much whether Sauk allows you
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:36
			or not whether Saudi government allows you or
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:40
			not if Allah called you Wallahi you're going
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:44
			to do your Hajj no matter what but
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			the important thing is where does it start
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:49
			it starts with a niyyah it starts with
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:53
			an intention imagine you are going on pilgrimage
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			in a year or two two years time
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:58
			but you will remember this moment where you
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00
			were sitting in Masjidul Khair and you made
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:03
			your niyyah right here right now I would
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:06
			like to go for Hajj Inshallah but don't
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			say I can't afford it but you smoke
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			10 packets of cigarettes everyday that is not
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:13
			an answer the answer is Allah is going
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:15
			to hold you accountable you burnt up your
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:17
			money you could have put your money away
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:20
			مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا is not just money
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:21
			look after your health look what the cigarette
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:24
			is doing to your health but we say
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:29
			this with conviction today that Inshallah Allah subhanahu
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:31
			wa ta'ala will grant me that opportunity
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			and if I must take you back take
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:37
			you back to the olden times to our
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:41
			forefathers and our mothers when they made their
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:44
			niyyah to go for Hajj Wallahi my dear
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:48
			brothers and sisters our mothers and grandmothers would
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:51
			go and work as domestics iron clothes for
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			people and put that money away to go
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:55
			for Hajj that is how much the niyyah
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:58
			meant to them make this niyyah strong today
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:01
			and say Inshallah if I've never been or
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:04
			if I have been Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			'ala must grant me that because everything starts
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:10
			with a niyyah إِنَّمَا الْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ and we
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:13
			if we look at the way and the
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:16
			method that people used to go for Hajj
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:19
			we can really see how connected we are
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			and I'll tell you why it's very simple
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:25
			today yes we have technology technology is saying
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:27
			they will send you a message regard this
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:30
			message as personal we're going for Hajj Inshallah
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:32
			on this particular day make dua for us
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:36
			but no technology can take the place of
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:39
			your emotion and your personal contact we used
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:42
			to go to the homes of people we
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			used to sit down in their homes and
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:47
			greet them with these words we have come
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:48
			here to greet you we are going on
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:52
			Hajj Inshallah if Allah wills but we've also
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:54
			come to ask you to pardon us pardon
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56
			me if I have said or done anything
		
00:19:56 --> 00:20:00
			wrong to offend you then you are going
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			to the creation of Allah asking them to
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:05
			pardon you and then they will pardon you
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:07
			and they will come back to your house
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:08
			and they will bring you something in an
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:11
			envelope and what is that whether it is
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:13
			a few rands a few cents but every
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:15
			time the Hajj spends that you are benefiting
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:17
			from it you even if it is a
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:20
			glass of water that they are buying that
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:22
			you will benefit from it this was our
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:25
			tradition that we have lost we have lost
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:27
			it because we do not have that personal
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:30
			contact anymore and this is when we say
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:34
			this is a month Dhul Hijjah is a
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:36
			month that we talk about the purification of
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:39
			sins and where does the purification of sins
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:39
			start?
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:42
			the purification from your sins starts from your
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:47
			tawbah if we are preparing ourselves to welcome
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			the month of Dhul Hijjah and we are
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:51
			going to do everything that is good during
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:53
			this month where do we start?
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:57

00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			I am getting a great guest today coming
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:07
			to me Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			sending the angels to you when you go
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:12
			on Hajj or even before for all of
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:14

			yourself cleanse yourself because when you are asking

			repentance know that Allah is At-Tawwab Allah

			your repentance it's a method that Allah subhanahu
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34

			closer to me but come to me in
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:38

00:21:38 --> 00:21:44
			to forgive imagine every single Hajj standing on
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:48
			Arafat they are on this pilgrimage whether there
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:51
			are 3 million 5 million or everybody throughout
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:55
			the world is asking Allah for pardon can
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:57
			we imagine the power of Allah because we
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:00
			are appealing to Allah as Samee'ah we
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:03
			are appealing to Allah Al-Baseer we are
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:06
			appealing to Allah At-Tawwab Al-Ghaffar Al
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:09
			-Ghafoor Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem we are appealing
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			to Allah in all those names in all
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:13
			those Sifats of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:17
			how can we not ask Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:19
			ta'ala to pardon us Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:22
			ta'ala says to us very clearly Ya
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:23
			Ibadi If
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:37
			all
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:40
			of you the entire creation of Bani Adam
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:43
			the Ins and the Jinn come together and
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:46
			they stand on one plane and they ask
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:49
			me and I granted everyone their request it
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:52
			would not minimize my sins my kingdom at
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:55
			all this is the power of Allah subhanallah
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:58
			this is where we have to look at
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:00
			as a power of Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:03
			'ala it's the first pillar of Islam that
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:06
			our brothers and sisters are fulfilling it happens
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:10
			in the days of Dhul Hijjah what happens
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:12
			when they are there they get to know
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:17
			one another exercising the verse Lita'arafu they
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:21
			would understand and know one another's cultures we
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:23
			are a tolerant religion there's a lot of
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:26
			tolerance but you can only have tolerance if
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:29
			you understand the next person if you understand
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:31
			their culture if they understand the way they
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:34
			do things then that is the time when
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:37
			we start tolerating one another because we start
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:41
			a ta'aruf that multitude of people and
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:43
			they are all coming from different parts of
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:45
			the world and how they come together as
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:49
			one unit on one plane with one dress,
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:51
			calling on one Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:54
			can you imagine the unity of this Ummah
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:58
			are we not innamal mu'minuna ikhwa are they
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:01
			not our brothers and sisters they are also
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:03
			there to solve many problems this is part
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:06
			of the purpose of Hajj, is to solve
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:08
			the problems of the Ummah and right now
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:10
			my dear brothers and sisters don't say we
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:13
			do not have problems we have challenges right
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:16
			now our brothers and sisters are not just
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:19
			being butchered or killed or murdered they are
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:22
			being burnt alive they are being burnt alive
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:25
			my dear brothers and sisters and as we
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:28
			sit and as we are talking, every single
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:31
			Muslim, every mu'min will have to feel that
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:33
			in his heart how these people are being
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:37
			burnt alive our children are being burnt imagine
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:39
			you stand and you watch your child being
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:42
			burnt what does that do to you that
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:44
			is they are our children because we are
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:47
			one Ummah if we can feel that sadness
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:51
			if we can feel that emotion why can't
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			we rejoice when our Hujjaj are being forgiven
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:57
			on Arafat forgive, and we can rejoice for
		
00:24:57 --> 00:25:02
			them, and we say Allahu Akbar the greatest
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:05
			virtue of the month of Dhul Hijjah is
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:09
			when you are on Hajj they will witness
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:12
			the benefits that Allah SWT has given them
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:14
			but they don't witness those benefits for themselves
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:17
			the Hajj must bring that benefit back to
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:19
			the Ummah they must come back and talk
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:22
			about the experience of the Hajj and how
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:25
			this Ummah can be together and united no,
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:27
			not to come and complain about this, and
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:30
			complain about the food, and complain about the
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:32
			residents and complain about Arafat and Mina and
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:37
			Muzdalifah, no come back with the benefits and
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:44
			what is part of that that this is
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:46
			the time when you have to mention and
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:51
			remember Allah very important it is the known
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:55
			days in the case of Ramadan Allah SWT
		
00:25:55 --> 00:26:01
			speaks about meaning calculated days, in the case
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:06
			of Hajj Allah SWT speaks about the known
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:08
			days so in other words, these days are
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10
			known to us the 10 days of Dhul
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:13
			Hijjah so what is the days that we,
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:16
			what must we do Prophet SAW makes profound
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:19
			statements regarding the 10 days of Dhul Hijjah
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:24
			Prophet SAW says مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَىٰهِ
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:29
			أَن يُتَعَبَّدَ لَهُ فِيهَا مِنْ عَشْرٍ لِلْحِجَّةِ يَعْدِلُ
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:34
			صِيَامُ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ مِنْهَا بِصِيَامِ سَنَةٍ وَقِيَامُ كُلِّ
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:37
			لَيْلَةٍ مِنْهَا بِقِيَامِ لَيْلَةٍ قَدْرٍ let me just
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:41
			explain that there is no days that is
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:45
			more loved by Allah أَحَبُّ أَحَبُّ إِلَىٰهِ there
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:49
			is no days that is more loved by
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:52
			Allah SWT than the 10 days of Dhul
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:56
			Hijjah where people worship Allah where people worship
		
00:26:56 --> 00:27:01
			Allah each fasting day during those days of
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:04
			Dhul Hijjah is the equivalent to the fasting
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:07
			of one year can you imagine and each
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:12
			Qiyamul Layl it is like the equivalent of
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:14
			Laylatul Qadr there is only one Laylatul Qadr
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:18
			but Rasulullah SAW says it is like the
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:20
			equivalent of Laylatul Qadr there is only one
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:22
			Laylatul Qadr which is Ramadhan and we know
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:25
			that we can't even say when it is
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:28
			when is Laylatul Qadr for sure but we
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:31
			can say when is Waqf for sure that
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:34
			is what we can do and that is
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:38
			the difference مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ فِيهِ
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:41
			أَحَبُّ إِلَىٰهِ عَزَّ وَجَلْ مِنْ هَذِ الْأَيَّامِ now
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:43
			when the Prophet SAW said this to the
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:47
			Sahaba imagine at that particular time the companions
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:50
			of Rasulullah SAW they used to lay down
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:54
			their life in Jihad and go and fight
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:59
			to defend Islam and help Rasulullah SAW their
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:03
			minds were working in that direction وَلَا الْجِهَادِ
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:06
			يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ we are talking about Allah
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:08
			SWT love these days and the good deeds
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:11
			that you do not even Jihad فِي سَبِيلِ
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:16
			اللَّهِ وَلَا الْجِهَادِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:20
			خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَرْجَعْ بِشَيْءٍ مِّن
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:22
			ذَٰلِكِ except a man who has gone out
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:24
			with his wealth and his life and he
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:26
			never came back with any of that in
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:28
			other words he is a martyr so Rasulullah
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:33
			SAW is giving us an idea أَحَبْ is
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:36
			the one word being used the other word
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:40
			that Rasulullah SAW used is مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:42
			أَعْظَمُ عَنْدَ اللَّهِ there is no days that
		
00:28:42 --> 00:28:46
			is greater by Allah SWT وَلَا أَحَبُّ إِلَى
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:50
			اللَّهِ الْعَمَلُ فِيهِنَّ مِنْ هَذِي الْأَيَّامِ الْعَشْ now
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:52
			when we talk about good deeds العَمَلُ الصَّالِح
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:54
			let us just for one moment our time
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:57
			is running out let us look at what
		
00:28:57 --> 00:28:59
			is the good deeds that Rasulullah SAW is
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:02
			talking about we know in the Quran what
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:06
			is coupled أَمَنُ وَعَمَلُ الصَّالِحَاتِ your Iman and
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:08
			your عَمَلُ الصَّالِحَاتِ over 21 times in the
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:10
			Quran it is coupled together so in other
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:12
			words your عَمَلُ الصَّالِحَاتِ is your manifestation of
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:17
			your Iman now we start off what is
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:20
			the عَمَلُ الصَّالِحَاتِ قِرَاءَةُ الْقُرْآنِ you make time
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:22
			to read your Quran you make time to
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:27
			remember Allah SWT and Rasulullah SAW says فَأَكْثِرُوا
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:33
			فِيهِنَّ مِنَ التَّهْلِيلِ وَالتَّكْبِيرِ وَالتَّحْمِيدِ increase your تهليل,
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:36
			increase your تحميد thank Allah, increase your تكبير
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:39
			read your تكبير الله أكبر don't just wait
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:41
			for Eid day to read تكبير no, when
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:43
			you are driving read تكبير when the lady
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:45
			is cooking in the kitchen read your تكبير
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:47
			تكبير الله أكبر الله أكبر لا إله إلا
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:50
			الله والله أكبر read it, this is the
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:52
			days, the opportunity given to us by Allah
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:56
			SWT there is قراءة القرآن there is صيام,
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:59
			fasting one of the best deeds that one
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:02
			can do during those days especially the day
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:05
			of عرفات Rasulullah SAW obeyed those that are
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:06
			on عرفات to fast, why?
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:09
			because they need the energy to stand in
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:11
			وقوف وقوف means to stand in front of
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:14
			Allah in that heat, in that sun and
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:16
			to pray the entire afternoon you need your
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:18
			energy but for those who are not on
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:22
			عرفات Rasulullah SAW says the صيام of the
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:27
			day of عرفات يكفر السنة الماضية ومستقبلة it
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:29
			will then atone for your sins of the
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:32
			past year and the year to come that
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:33
			doesn't mean that you can sin as you
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:35
			want to the next year, okay I'm just
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:37
			saying that you still have to make توبة
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:40
			for your bigger sins we are talking about
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:43
			minor sins but remember once the hajj has
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:46
			been on عرفات and you have connected with
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:49
			them من حج فلم يرفس ولم يفسق خرج
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:52
			من ذنوبه كيوم ولدته أمه that is hadith
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:54
			everybody knows and I'm not going to explain
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:56
			it he is like a newborn baby but
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:58
			what is important for us to understand is
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:04
			on that particular day Rasulullah SAW says most
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:07
			people are being liberated emancipated emancipated from Jahannam
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:10
			on that particular day of عرفات and that's
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:13
			the day we all fast we all want
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:17
			Allah SWT to liberate us but before you
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:19
			can ask Allah to emancipate you and liberate
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:22
			you from the fire of Jahannam my dear
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:24
			brothers and sisters my message is liberate yourself
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:29
			liberate your mind let that ego go we
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:32
			are no better than others we are all
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:34
			equal because that is one of the greatest
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:37
			lessons is the equality of human beings that
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:44
			we are all equal and this is what
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:45
			we need to learn my dear brothers because
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:48
			today we live with a superiority complex we
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:50
			live with that superiority we are better than
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:57
			others and Allah SWT says don't purify yourself
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:59
			and think of yourself as good and pure
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:01
			only Allah knows what is in your heart
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:04
			your Taqwa Allah SWT my dear brothers and
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:07
			sisters may Allah SWT grant us all the
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:11
			ability to understand the importance and significance of
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:13
			the 10 days of Dhul Hijjah and what
		
00:32:13 --> 00:32:16
			we need to do go to your neighbors
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:18
			connect with your families that you have never
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:21
			seen if you owe anybody something try and
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:23
			repay it go and ask people to forgive
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:26
			you and you ask Allah SWT to purify
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:28
			you and may Allah SWT accept but don't
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:32
			forget the days of Tashreeq Rasulullah SAW says
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:35
			the day of Arafat the days of Tashreeq
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:39
			Eiduna Ahlul Islam this is our Eid we
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:40
			celebrate and how do we celebrate?
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:43
			With Dhikr Allah Azza wa Jal we don't
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:46
			celebrate like others our celebration is in the
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:49
			Dhikr Allah SWT may Allah SWT grant us
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:52
			the strength the health inshallah to fulfill and
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:55
			to follow the Sunnah of Rasulullah SAW it
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:58
			might be a great sacrifice for many of
		
00:32:58 --> 00:32:59
			us to be able to say ok I'm
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:01
			going to fast the 10 days I'm going
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:03
			to fast but remember it's the days of
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:06
			sacrifice sacrifice of an animal I made an
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:10
			appeal last week and this is very important
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:12
			my dear brothers and sisters and I'm going
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:15
			to tell you why we make the qurban
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:18
			a sacrifice and I'm not saying do it
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:19
			with me I say do it anyway but
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:22
			what I'm saying to you your niyyah is
		
00:33:22 --> 00:33:25
			important we ask Allah SWT through that qurban
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:28
			oh Allah remove our difficulty oh Allah SWT
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:31
			look after our business Allah SWT must look
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:34
			after our children ask Allah SWT to alleviate
		
00:33:34 --> 00:33:36
			the pain and the hardships from our Palestinian
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:40
			brothers and sisters make a qurban sacrifice, take
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:44
			out your money your iman will motivate you
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:46
			to put your hand in your pocket and
		
00:33:46 --> 00:33:47
			not to go for the cheapest but go
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:49
			for the most expensive and say let us
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:52
			go and make a qurban and take that
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:53
			meat and give it to the poor but
		
00:33:53 --> 00:33:57
			may Allah SWT bring about ease for our
		
00:33:57 --> 00:34:00
			Palestinian brothers remove the difficulties that are there
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:03
			liberate Masjid al-Aqsa, liberate Palestine and inshallah
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:05
			we will all stand one day in Masjid
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:08
			al-Aqsa al-Mubarak and Masjid al-Aqsa
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:10
			will be a liberated Masjid al-Aqsa Jazakumullah
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:13
			khairan fadhilatu shaykh Jazakumullah for affording me the
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:16
			opportunity may Allah SWT accept from all of
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:17

			at the back collecting for sanza he has
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:05
			taken ill in the hospital and we make
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:07
			du'a that Allah ta'ala grant him
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:10
			complete shifa and all those that are sick
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:13

00:36:04 --> 00:36:07
			today we appreciate that and I think it's
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:11
			a wonderful idea for sanza to make use
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:14
			of our older alama I think it's an
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:16
			idea that I must take to the MJC
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:19
			to go around and do our khutab and
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:22

00:48:24 --> 00:48:26
			among the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah?
		
00:48:27 --> 00:48:29
			The fasting of every day of it is
		
00:48:29 --> 00:48:30
			equal to the fasting of the year, and
		
00:48:30 --> 00:48:33
			the Qiyam of every night of it is
		
00:48:33 --> 00:48:34
			equal to the Qiyam of the Night of

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