00:00:00 --> 00:00:02 
			You can't plan to delay
00:00:03 --> 00:00:04 
			repentance to Allah.
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07 
			People say, and I've given this example before,
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09 
			people say,
00:00:09 --> 00:00:12 
			while I'm still young, when I turn 50,
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14 
			I'll go for Hajj, inshallah, we'll stop everything.
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17 
			For now, I'm just enjoying life. No way.
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18 
			I've asked people,
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22 
			can you afford Hajj? They say, yes. Are
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23 
			you able to go? Yes.
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25 
			Well, why aren't you going? They say, because
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26 
			I'm still young.
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30 
			I'm still young, so I'm not going because
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31 
			when I go for Hajj, then I'm gonna
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33 
			have to quit all this and all that.
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34 
			No. You can't do that.
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38 
			Allah decides when you're going to go by
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39 
			giving you the means
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41 
			and the capacity to go.
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53 
			Allah has made it compulsory to go for
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55 
			Hajj for those who are able and capable
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57 
			to undertake the journey.
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00 
			So if you have the capacity, who gave
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01 
			you the capacity? Allah.
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03 
			You have the money. Who gave you the
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06 
			money? Allah. So He's decided when you're going
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08 
			to go. If you delay unnecessarily,
00:01:09 --> 00:01:09 
			you're sinful.
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13 
			Yes. If there was a restriction or you
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15 
			didn't get a visa or something, Allah will
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17 
			not hold it against you but you tried.
