00:00:06 --> 00:00:12
			Today, we will close their mouths, and their
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:15
			hands will speak to us, and their feet
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			will bear witness to what they used to
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			earn.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22
			And if We willed, We could have wiped
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
			over their eyes, and they would have run
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			to the path, but how could they see?
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:33
			And if We willed, We could have wiped
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:37
			over their places, but they could not go
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			forth, nor could they return.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:50
			And We have not taught them poetry, nor
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			is it appropriate for them.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:56
			It is but a Reminder, and a clear
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:56
			Qur'an.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00
			That He may enlighten those who are alive,
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			and that the Word may be justified against
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			the disbelievers.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07
			Do they not see that We have created
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:11
			for them from that which Our hands have
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			made cattle, and they own them?
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			And We have made it low for them,
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			and from it they ride, and from it
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:20
			they eat.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:25
			And they have benefits and drinks in it.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			Will they not be grateful?
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			And they have taken for themselves gods besides
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			Allah, that they may be helped.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:37
			They cannot help them, and they have soldiers
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			present for them.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			So let not their speech grieve thee.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			Verily, We know what they conceal and what
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:45
			they declare.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:50
			Does man not see that We have created
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			him from a sperm, and behold, he is
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			a manifest adversary?
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			And he sets forth an example for Us,
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			and he forgets his own creation.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			He says, Who will give life to bones
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			and throw them away?
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			Say, He will give life to him who
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			created them the first time.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			And He is All-Knowing of all creation.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:20
			Is He not the One who created the
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:26
			heavens and the earth, able to create like
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			them?
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			Yes, and He is the All-Knowing Creator.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:36
			His command is only, when He wills a
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:40
			thing, that it be said to Him, So
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:44
			exalted is He in Whose hand is the
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:48
			dominion of all things, and to Whom you
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:48
			will be returned.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			God Almighty has spoken the truth.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			We need some introduction.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			He is the ex-imam of the Zinatul
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			Masjid in Cape Town, New Street.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			Sheikh Mohammed Murad.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			His topic for today is the impact of
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			forgiveness.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57
			Sheikh is a little bit tired, so inshallah.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:00
			He just told me that he slaughtered 550
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:04
			sheep for Qurbani over the last couple of
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:04
			days.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06
			So we'll just have to bear with him.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			And I'm sure he'll be inspiring us with
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			his words today, inshallah.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:26
			In the
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:32
			name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:55
			All thanks, praise, and gratitude is due to
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			Allah, Lord of the Universe.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:02
			Our mercy, blessings, salutations, love, and compassion on
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:07
			our beloved Prophet Muhammad, his family and friends,
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			and those who follow in their guidance until
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			the Day of Judgment.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:19
			Respected Imam, brothers and sisters, all those that
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			are listening and viewing, I greet you with
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			a wonderful greeting of Islam.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi ta'ala wa
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			barakatuh.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			As you have heard, the topic is the
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			impact of forgiveness.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:40
			When I was asked why that particular topic,
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43
			I said, just think back a few days.
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:48
			A few days ago, when you had millions
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:52
			of people rushing to the plains of Arafat,
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:59
			standing there through the time of wuquf, begging
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:02
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's forgiveness and pardon,
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:09
			believing that they have been forgiven, based on
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:12
			the statement of our beloved Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:15
			alayhi wa alihi wa sallam, there is no
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:18
			day in the here that Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:22
			ta'ala forgives more people than that particular
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:23
			day, the Day of Arafat.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27
			Because there was a lot of introspection done.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31
			You cannot stand in front of your Creator
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:33
			and just ask for forgiveness.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:36
			You need to go inside yourself and ask
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:38
			yourself, where did I go wrong?
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			And no matter over the years, whether you
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			are now 10 or you are now 50
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46
			or 70 years old, and you are standing
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			on the plains of Arafat, you have to
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51
			do a critical assessment of yourself.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:53
			And that is where you stand in front
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			of your Creator.
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:59
			Because if you listen to the very verse
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:03
			of Nabi Adam a.s., when we are
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:06
			talking about Jabal ur-Rahma, when Nabi Adam
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:11
			a.s. says, رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنفُسَنَا وَإِن لَمْ
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:15
			تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسَرِينَ Our Lord,
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:19
			we have wronged ourselves, meaning that he understood
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			where he went wrong.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			But the key is not that.
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			The key that we believe that we have
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			been forgiven by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			And you know what is beautiful about our
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			tradition right here in Cape Town, is before
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:38
			people leave, they will go around and ask
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			others to pardon them.
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			And that is such a beautiful tradition.
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:45
			Nowadays they have omitted that and they don't
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			worry about it any longer.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:49
			And the reason why I said let us
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:52
			speak about the impact of forgiveness.
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			Because you want Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:00
			forgiveness, but yet you come back from Hajj,
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:03
			you come back from Arafat, or you sit
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:06
			the entire night on your musalla, making istighfar,
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:10
			asking Allah to forgive you, but you are
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			not prepared to forgive anybody else in this
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:12
			world.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:17
			That is a selfish attitude, and that is
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			not part of the Muslim makeup or character
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			for that matter.
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			Because the character of a Muslim is to
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:24
			be selfless.
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27
			What you want for yourself, you must want
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29
			for your brothers and your sisters.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32
			If you want forgiveness, then ask Allah to
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			forgive them, and you must be prepared to
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:35
			forgive them.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:38
			Why do we think that our beloved Prophet
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:41
			Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, Allah will
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			forgive the Hajj and for whom he asked
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:44
			for forgiveness.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:46
			That is important.
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:51
			Now we have lost the impact, the power
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			of forgiveness.
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:54
			And why am I saying this?
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:58
			Because the amount of animosity, the amount of
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:01
			hatred that is still around amongst people, starting
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:04
			from very inside the home, going into the
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:08
			family members, moving into society, going into the
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:11
			global nation, there is still too much hatred
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:15
			and not people prepared to forgive one another.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, in the glorious
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:25
			Quran, chapter 3, verse 134, الَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ فِي
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:31
			السَّرَّاءِ وَالضَّرَّاءِ وَالْكَاظِمِينَ الْغَيْظَ وَالْعَافِينَ عَنِ النَّاسِ
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:37
			وَاللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ صدق الله العظيم.
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:40
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, Those who
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			spend freely, freely when?
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:45
			In adversity or in difficulty.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is saying
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:53
			to us, وَالْكَاظِمِينَ الْغَيْظَ وَالْعَافِينَ عَنِ النَّاسِ Those
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:57
			who can restrain the anger, and who are
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			prepared to forgive human beings.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:05
			وَالْعَافِينَ عَنِ النَّاسِ وَاللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ It is
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:08
			regarded as one of the good and gracious
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:12
			deeds to be able to forgive one another.
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala makes this connection
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			in the holy Quran.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:17
			And the connection is what?
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:22
			The connection is between piety, and we call
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			it the quality of forgiveness.
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:27
			The characteristic of forgiveness.
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:30
			And the holy Quran makes this connection between
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			the two.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:35
			Because forgiveness on our part is part of
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:35
			our taqwa.
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			It is part that comes from the heart.
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			Forgiveness is not a matter that comes by
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			the tongue.
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:45
			Fine, you did something wrong, please forgive me.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46
			And you say it with your tongue.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:49
			But in the heart, that hatred is still
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:49
			there.
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			In the heart, that jealousy is still there.
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			In the heart, there is still so much
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:54
			in there.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:55
			There is so much of illness there.
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:57
			But the tongue has said, please forgive me.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:00
			That is not the power of forgiveness.
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:03
			That is not the impact that forgiveness must
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:04
			have.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:07
			And therefore Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:13
			chapter 24, verse 22, Allah says, وَالْيَأْفُوا وَالْيَصْفَحُوا
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			Pardon one another.
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			And embrace one another.
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18
			Shake hands.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:23
			أَلَا تُحِبُّونَ أَن يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ Listen to
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:23
			the wording.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:26
			What preceded Allah's forgiveness?
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:30
			It preceded us forgiving one another.
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:34
			وَالْيَأْفُوا وَالْيَصْفَحُوا This is what you have to
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:35
			do first.
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37
			And Allah said, ask you the question.
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:39
			Wouldn't you love Allah to forgive you?
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:41
			But Allah says to you, you must do
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:42
			that first.
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			Now, I give you an example.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			Come Eid.
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:49
			Eid, alhamdulillah, we embrace one another.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			We hold one another, Eid Mubarak.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:53
			And we talk about happiness.
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			What was that embrace all about?
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			Come Eid al-Adha, we talk about sacrifice.
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			Have we sacrificed our hatred?
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05
			Have we sacrificed our jealousy?
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			Have we sacrificed anything for the power of
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:09
			forgiveness?
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:10
			Have we?
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12
			Eid has come and gone.
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:14
			And Eid will come and go years after
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:15
			years.
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17
			But what have we done really to our
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:20
			own character, to what is in this heart
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:20
			of ours?
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:24
			And therefore, if you love Allah's forgiveness, which
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:25
			we all want.
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:28
			We all want because we're not perfect.
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:31
			Human beings are not perfect.
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:34
			We err, we sin, we transgress, we make
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			mistakes.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:36
			That is the human nature.
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:38
			This is how we've been created.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41
			But if you want Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:44
			'ala's forgiveness, why can't you accept the fact
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:46
			that there is others that also make mistakes,
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:49
			there is others that also transgress, and that
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:50
			you must be able to forgive them?
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			Why is it so difficult on us?
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:56
			Therefore, you find Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:00
			says, وَلَمَنْ صَبَرْ وَغَفَرْ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمِنْ عَزْمِ
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:03
			الْأُمُورِ The one who perseveres and who has
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:07
			patience and is prepared to forgive, this is
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:10
			the best of deeds that you can do.
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:15
			خُذِ الْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْجَاهِرِينَ You
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:18
			take pardon and you must give pardon to
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:18
			others.
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			This is what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			wants from us in the Quran.
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			Now there are examples.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:26
			Examples by who?
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:30
			By the greatest exemplar of man, Muhammad sallallahu
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:31
			alayhi wasallam.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:35
			In terms of the quality of forgiveness, it
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37
			is called a moral virtue.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:41
			The quality of forgiveness is a moral virtue.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			If you want to develop and if you
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:48
			want to expand really on this particular topic
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:51
			of the power of forgiveness, then my dear
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:54
			brothers and sisters, we have to look closely
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:58
			at the life of our beloved Muhammad sallallahu
		
00:13:58 --> 00:13:59
			alayhi wasallam.
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:04
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam taught us that a
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:08
			person that is strong is not the person
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:09
			who is muscular.
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:11
			It is not the person who can wrestle
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:14
			with one another and put him down and
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:16
			take a count of three and win the
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:16
			point.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:17
			No.
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			The person that is strong is the one
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:21
			who can control his anger.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:23
			The person who is strong is the one
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:26
			who can control his anger and he is
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			prepared to forgive in the same time.
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:29
			That is the one that is strong.
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:32
			And that is what Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			called Al-Qawiyy.
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:35
			He is strong.
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:38
			And that was narrated in the book of
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			Muslim in the collection of Al-Tabarani as
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			well.
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:45
			Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam says to forgive a
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:49
			person who was unfair to you and to
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:52
			give someone who does not give to you
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:55
			and to keep in contact someone with someone
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:57
			who sabotage with you.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:15:00
			This is the best form of Iman.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:04
			Today we live the opposite of that entire
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:05
			Hadith.
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:07
			That entire Hadith.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:09
			And I'll tell you why am I saying
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:09
			this.
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:16
			اعفو عمن ظلمك Pardon those who wrong you.
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:20
			Pardon those who oppress you.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:24
			Pardon those who do something wrong to you.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:28
			اعفو عمن ظلمك Today we live by the
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:32
			idea why must I forgive when they don't
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:33
			want to forgive me.
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:40
			وخيرهم الذي يبدأ بالسلام The best of the
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:42
			two is the one who reach out for
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:42
			peace.
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:44
			The best of the two.
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:46
			Don't we want to be the best by
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:48
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:54
			اعفو عمن ظلمك اعطي من حرمك Give to
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			the one who does not give to you.
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:59
			Oh, they didn't give to me.
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:00
			Why must I give to them?
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:01
			They didn't invite me.
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:03
			Why must I invite them?
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:05
			That is how we live.
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:08
			Don't live by what you think is right.
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:12
			Live by what Rasulullah ﷺ taught us what
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:13
			is right.
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:17
			اعفو عمن ظلمك Oh, that is a very
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:18
			very common one.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			The last part is a very common one.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22
			And why am I saying this?
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:24
			People sabotage with you.
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:26
			Why must I reach out?
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:28
			I will sabotage with them.
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			Even if it means we live in animosity
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			for the rest of our lives and we
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:33
			die like that.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:36
			لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله Do you
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			really want to close your eyes and face
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:40
			your Creator the day of Qiyamah when He
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:42
			is going to ask you why didn't you
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:42
			reach out?
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:44
			Why didn't you forgive?
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:47
			Are you going to tell Allah?
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50
			Oh, no, no, no, sorry Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:50
			ta'ala.
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:52
			This person did not come close to me.
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			They did not give me anything.
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			They sabotage with me, so I sabotage with
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:57
			them.
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:59
			No, my dear brothers and sisters, the motto
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:02
			is always to live by Allah is going
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:04
			to ask you what you did.
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:05
			Allah is not going to ask you what
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:06
			they did.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:07
			That's important.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:09
			Very important.
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			Let us take a practical example.
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:16
			A practical example of Rasulullah ﷺ.
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:22
			When the Bedouin, the Arabi, came to the
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:24
			Prophet ﷺ and asked for some provisions.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			Ya Rasulullah, I want something, some provisions.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			Prophet gave him and he asked, was I
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			fair to you?
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:33
			He says, no.
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:38
			The companions, the sahaba, got a bit upset
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:41
			with the man because the Prophet ﷺ gave
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			you and you say no.
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:46
			And they wanted to reprimand him.
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:48
			The Prophet ﷺ said, leave him.
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:50
			Leave him, let him be.
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:53
			And the Prophet ﷺ said, let me go
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			into the house.
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:56
			Went to get some more and helped him
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:56
			along.
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:59
			Gave him more.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:00
			Do you think that I was fair to
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:00
			you?
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:02
			He says, yes.
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:04
			He stopped there.
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:08
			Now, the Prophet ﷺ rewarded the man.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:12
			Gave him what he could give him.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:17
			Whereby the sahaba they wanted to reprimand him.
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:20
			And the Prophet ﷺ says, leave him.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:25
			The very next day, the Prophet ﷺ walks
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			into the circle where they are all sitting
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:29
			with the same bedouin.
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:35
			And the Prophet ﷺ gives an example and
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:38
			he says, myself and that man is like
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:39
			a man who owns a camel.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:43
			The camel started running and everybody started running
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:45
			after the camel and they couldn't stop him.
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:48
			And the bedouin says, let me stop the
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:48
			camel.
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:50
			Because I know more about camels than you.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			And he brings the camel back.
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:57
			The Prophet ﷺ says, now that is an
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:59
			example of how you treat people.
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:02
			If I had to treat him and reprimand
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:06
			him yesterday or allowed you to reprimand him
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:08
			and not forgive him, he would not have
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:10
			been in a position to help us to
		
00:19:10 --> 00:19:11
			get the camel back.
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:14
			You see, now this is where Allah ﷻ
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:21
			says, فَإِذَا الَّذِي بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ عَدَاوَةً كَأَنَّهُ وَلِيٌّ
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:24
			حَمِيمٌ And the verse starts of, وَلَا تَسْتَوِي
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:28
			الْحَسَنَةُ وَلَا السَّيِّئَةُ Goodness and evil can never
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:29
			be the same.
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:30
			It's not equal.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:36
			اِدْفَعْ بِالَّتِي هِي أَحْسَنُ You push back and
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:39
			you defend yourself with what is better.
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			No, today we don't.
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:44
			Oh, let me just go on to what
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:44
			is better.
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:46
			Let me tell you what is better.
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:48
			You swear, I can swear better.
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:49
			No, no, no.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:51
			It doesn't work like that.
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:54
			Better words, kind words.
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:59
			اِدْفَعْ بِالَّتِي هِي أَحْسَنُ فَإِذَا الَّذِي بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:03
			عَدَاوَةً Now, if there was any animosity between
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:05
			the two of you, what happens?
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:09
			If you follow this procedure of Allah in
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:12
			the Quran, what is going to happen?
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:18
			فَإِذَا الَّذِي بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ عَدَاوَةً كَأَنَّهُ وَلِيٌّ حَمِيمٌ
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:20
			Listen to the wording.
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:22
			This is how close you become.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:27
			You become closer with hotness and heat with
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:27
			one another.
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			It is not just you become friends, no.
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:34
			فَإِذَا الَّذِي بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ عَدَاوَةٌ كَأَنَّهُ وَلِيٌّ Yesterday,
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:36
			you might have been enemies.
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:38
			Today, you are bosom buddies.
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:40
			You are close to one another.
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:43
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says, And
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:44
			who is going to achieve that?
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:49
			وَمَا يُلَقَّاهَا إِلَّا الَّذِينَ صَبَرُونَ And you can
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:52
			only achieve that if you use the power
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:57
			of patience and perseverance and take that impact
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:00
			of your forgiveness that Allah has given you
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02
			and pass it on to others.
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:05
			This is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala saying
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:08
			to us, You will only receive that if
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:12
			you make that your power to forgive and
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:14
			make that the impact of forgiveness to others.
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:17
			And this kind of attitude, my dear brothers
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:21
			and sisters, when Rasulallah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:25
			says to us, Yes, you can forgive to
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:26
			a certain degree.
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:28
			It doesn't mean that you must overlook Allah's
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:28
			commands.
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			It doesn't mean that you must overlook Allah's
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:31
			principles.
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:33
			It doesn't mean that you're not going to
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:34
			get angry.
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:35
			Yes, you are.
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:39
			But again, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:42
			taught us four different categories of people.
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:44
			Number one, you are too slow to get
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			angry, fast to forgive.
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:48
			Now I want you to think I'm not
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:50
			saying who we are and who we are
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:51
			not.
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:53
			We have to assess for ourselves.
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:57
			I am saying fast, slow to get angry,
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:58
			fast to forgive.
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:02
			Fast in getting angry and fast in forgiving.
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:06
			And then slow in getting angry, but also
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:09
			slow to forgive, but very quick in getting
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			angry, but very slow to forgive.
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:14
			Think of who we are, each and every
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:15
			one of us.
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			Do we have that power within ourselves?
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:22
			Do we have that power of forgiveness to
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:25
			impact on others in terms of our forgiveness?
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:28
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam then commenced
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:31
			on that and he says the best of
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:33
			all people are the first category.
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:36
			And that is slow to get angry and
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			very fast to forgive.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			And the worst of them all is the
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:43
			last category and that is very quick in
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:46
			getting angry, but very slow in forgiving.
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:51
			Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught us, if
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:53
			you want to live by the power of
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:56
			forgiveness then you must have it within yourself.
		
00:22:57 --> 00:23:01
			To understand why is it important to forgive,
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:03
			but the forgiveness must come from the purity
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:04
			of your heart.
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:07
			Because that is how you're going to stand
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:08
			in front of Allah.
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:10
			You will be successful.
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:14
			That your heart is pure.
		
00:23:14 --> 00:23:16
			That you stand in front of Allah with
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:17
			a clean heart.
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:18
			So it is no use.
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:21
			I say I forgive, I forgive, I forgive,
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:22
			but the heart is not clean.
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25
			And how does that come out?
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:27
			It comes out after a while again.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:30
			Oh I have forgiven, but I didn't forget
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:32
			what you have done to me this time
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:32
			and that time.
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:33
			How did you forgive?
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:37
			And therefore Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:40
			us in a beautiful hadith, beautiful.
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:44
			لا تقاطعوا Don't sabotage with one another.
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:49
			ولا تدابروا Do not plot and plan against
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:50
			one another.
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:54
			Oh that is something that is happening today
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:55
			even amongst spouses.
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:59
			Sad to say how they plot and plan.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:03
			They can't even live with that forgiveness within
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:06
			the home so the children can learn how
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:06
			to do that.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:12
			ولا تدابروا ولا تباغضوا And do not backbite
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:13
			one another.
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:18
			You know the biggest crime today is to
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:19
			press that send button.
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:21
			That send button.
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:24
			When you are sending messages that is not
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:25
			true.
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27
			When you are sending messages to friends and
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:29
			talking about your own family.
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:31
			And you are sending those messages to others
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:34
			all over the world where everybody can see.
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:36
			And when you go on Facebook and you
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:37
			put your whole life out there.
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:39
			When you go on YouTube you put your
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:39
			whole life out there.
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:41
			This is one of the biggest crimes today.
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			Yes there is a good sign of it.
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:49
			ولا تباغضوا ولا تناجشوا You can't be spying
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:50
			on one another.
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:57
			وَكُونُوا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إِخْوَانًا Be like brothers with
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:58
			one another.
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:01
			But the key part of this hadith and
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:02
			I will wrap up on that.
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:07
			The key part of this hadith is لا
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:13
			يحلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَن يَهْجِرَ أَخَاهُ فَوْقَ فَلَا يَلْتَقِيَانِ
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:20
			فَيُعْرِضُ هَذَا وَيُعْرِضُ هَذَا وَخَيْرُهُمَ الَّذِي يَبْدَأُ بِالسَّلَامِ
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:22
			This is true forgiveness.
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:26
			لا يحلُّ What does it mean?
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:29
			It is not halal.
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:32
			It is not halal.
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:36
			To ignore your brother or sister for more
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:37
			than three days.
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:39
			Oh, come on.
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:41
			We are those who for months and for
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:42
			years don't speak to one another.
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			Yes, my dear brothers and sisters.
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:48
			Sad.
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:52
			لا يحلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَن يَهْجِرَ أَخَاهُ فَوْقَ فَلَا
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:54
			Look at the example.
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
			The example given by our beloved Prophet Muhammad.
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:04
			يَلْتَقِيَانِ فَيُعْرِضُ هَذَا وَيُعْرِضُ هَذَا They will meet
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:05
			one another.
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			Their path is going to cross sometime or
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:07
			the other.
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:09
			But the one will ignore the other.
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:15
			وَخَيْرُهُمَا And the best of the two.
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:19
			الَّذِي يَبْدَأُ بِالسَّلَامِ Who goes out and say
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:22
			السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ Peace be upon you.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:25
			But السَّلَام is not just السَّلَام with the
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:26
			tongue.
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			السَّلَام must come from the heart.
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:30
			So when we talk about the power of
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:33
			forgiveness and the impact of it, it comes
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:34
			from the heart.
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:37
			And that is where the beginning of forgiveness
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:38
			is.
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:39
			Is to cleanse your heart.
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:42
			But you must do that after very much
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:44
			critically assess yourself.
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:45
			Introspect.
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47
			Go in your heart and see where you
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:48
			have gone wrong.
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:51
			And then insha'Allah Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:54
			'ala will assist and will help us to
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:56
			purify our hearts towards one another.
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:57
			Remove the hatred.
		
00:26:58 --> 00:26:59
			Remove the jealousy.
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:01
			Remove whatever illness there is in our heart.
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:04
			And Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will grant
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:06
			us to have better family relationships.
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:09
			We have better community relationships.
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:11
			And we have a better ummah.
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:11
			Insha'Allah.
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:14
			May the almighty Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:16
			grant all those that have been on hajj
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:18
			a hajj al-mabroor and a hajj al
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:19
			-maqbool insha'Allah.
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			And may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala accept
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:22
			all their duas.
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:24
			Because we know for a fact that they
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:26
			were standing on Arafat and they were praying
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:29
			to Allah for the assistance for our Palestinian
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:30
			brothers and sisters.
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:32
			As they were doing, we were doing the
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:32
			same.
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:35
			May Allah bring ease to them insha'Allah.
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:37
			To all those that are suffering with difficulty
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:40
			in the world, may the almighty Allah subhanahu
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:42
			wa ta'ala grant all those that are
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:43
			sick the health and strength insha'Allah.
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:45
			Those that have passed and are no longer
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:47
			with us, may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:50
			grant them a high place in Jannah insha
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:50
			'Allah.
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:54
			But allow me and if I'm allowed just
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			to say one or two words here, my
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:58
			sincere thanks and gratitude.
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:01
			Not just to all those who did their
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03
			qurban with me, but those who did qurban
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:04
			everywhere.
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:06
			May Allah accept your qurban from you insha
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:06
			'Allah.
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:09
			But those who did it with me, I
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11
			sincerely want to thank you and I hope
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:12
			that you are satisfied.
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:14
			May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala be satisfied
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:15
			with all of us.
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:18
			Wa akhiru da'wana anil hamdulillah rabbil alameen.
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:28
			Shukran Sheikh Murad.
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			And his topic today for those who came
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:32
			a bit late was the impact of forgiveness.
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:34
			If you missed some of the talk, you
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:37
			can watch it replay it on YouTube and
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:39
			Facebook insha'Allah.
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:40
			Some announcements.
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:43
			We'd just like to say shukran to those
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:46
			who contributed a third of the qurbani to
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:47
			the soup kitchen.
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:49
			We really appreciate it.
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:51
			And if those that still would like to
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:54
			do so, please contact the centre manager, Zahira.
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:58
			The soup kitchen is always in need of
		
00:28:58 --> 00:28:59
			your contributions insha'Allah.
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:03
			We would like to wish all those, including
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:07
			Sheikh Alexander, who is returning this weekend, a
		
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09
			hajj makbool and mubroor insha'Allah.
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:15
			Sheikh Murad doesn't come on his own.
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:17
			I thought I'll just add in here.
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:19
			He's got his two sons that joins him
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:20
			every Friday.
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:22
			And they don't sit still.
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:25
			So the one son's name is Badr.
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:30
			And he helps Sheikh with his dress code.
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:31
			Alhamdulillah, looking very good.
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:35
			And we also got another son, Muhammad Noor,
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:38
			who gives our sound room and video technicians
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:38
			a break.
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:40
			Because he comes and he takes over.
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:43
			And he's there working with the cameras and
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:47
			making sure that the YouTube feed is 100%.
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:49
			So shukran to not only Sheikh Murad, but
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:51
			as well as Muhammad Noor and Badr Murad
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:52
			as well.
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:56
			This announcement is done on our trips.
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:58
			We've got a trip to Iraq.
		
00:29:58 --> 00:30:00
			It's on the 9th of November till the
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:01
			19th of November.
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:04
			Price is 43,990.
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:07
			Flights is from Cape Town.
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:11
			It's going to Baghdad, Karbala, Najaf, and includes
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:12
			the Ziarats as well.
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:15
			We've got a Masjid al-Quds blanket drive.
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:16
			That's still in full force.
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:20
			Inshallah, tomorrow we'll be distributing some of those
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:22
			blankets in the ongoing process.
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:26
			So the blanket drive closes on the 6th
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:27
			of July.
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:30
			It's 120 rand for a blanket.
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:31
			So if you'd like to donate, please contact
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:33
			Aunty Zehra or any of the committee members,
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:34
			inshallah.
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:38
			Then we've obviously got our Acne sales.
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:41
			That's for sale of 70 rand upon it
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:43
			on the library side.
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:45
			If you want to pay by card, it's
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:47
			going to cost every extra 5 rand because
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:48
			of bank charges, etc.
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:49
			So it'll be 75 rand if you're paying
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:52
			by card, about 70 rand if you're paying
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:52
			by cash.
		
00:30:53 --> 00:30:56
			Last request is for all of you just
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:58
			to stand up and fill the gaps.
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:00
			It is a bit cold outside, so a
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:03
			lot of the brothers that normally want to
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:04
			stand outside want to come in.
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:07
			And inshallah with the impending rain, we would
		
00:31:07 --> 00:31:10
			prefer if everybody is inside the masjid.
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:11
			So just want to spend one minute.
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:14
			So stand up, find the gap in front
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:14
			of you.
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:18
			As I always say, the surah before, surah
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:21
			Jumaa is surah Saf.
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:24
			So let's fill our safs first before Jumaa.
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:27
			Shukran.
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:30
			On the left-hand side and the right
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:32
			-hand side, there's nobody in those corners, there's
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:33
			openings.
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:35
			So just make sure you move forward to
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:35
			that side.
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:37
			And in the courtyard as well if you
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:38
			can move forward inshallah.
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:39
			Allah Allah Allah
