We are on one of the mountains of
Makkah
called Jabal Handama.
You can see the entire Haram
behind me and you can see the clock
tower
to my right. SubhanAllah.
This is Makkah.
In a few days,
many Hujjaj will be arriving here, and Mashallah,
in a few weeks, we're going to be
having the Hajj. The silence that we actually
have here
is deafening.
And SubhanAllah,
you will notice
millions of people a stone throw away
in the Haram. What are they doing? They're
doing tawaf.
They're doing, they're drinking zamzam, they're doing sahih
between safa and marwa, they're worshiping Allah
and they
are loudly
saying, Labbeik Allah, Umma Labbeik.
We cannot hear a thing. Look at the
greatness of Allah. We are just a few
100 meters away or a few kilometers away,
not even kilometers I think. And we can't
hear a thing. Yet there are millions of
people
who are here right now and are going
to come. Well,
possibly 1,000,000 in a few days. But right
now, there are 1,000. SubhanAllah.
If we and we were in the Mataaf
not too long ago, it was quite full.
SubhanAllah.
The day we made Umrah was not too
bad. The next day, it became more and
more full.
Remember one thing. If you are going
to come to Makkah to mukarama,
make sure that you come soon.
As soon as you're able and capable to
come, you're supposed to come to Mecca. Don't
wait
and think to yourself, I'm still young. When
am I? You know, I don't want to
make Hajj right now. I'm not
actually, you know, ready for it. If you
can afford it, you're a Muslim. You're supposed
to come. Inshallah. What a beautiful place. This
Haram. It's grown so much. When I was
young, a little, I remember
that it was very small, the the haram.
And at the moment, subhanallah, it's grown humongous.
Subhanallah, look at this. Just just appreciate this,
the mount.
And the if you zoom in a little
bit to see the,
the minarats of the Haram, there's still a
few that are under construction,
and they've got the buildings at the back,
Mashallah Tabarakallah.
I believe there's a new law
that states that the new buildings
that are going to be built henceforth in
Makkah will not go beyond
the
height of the minarats that are there. So,
I don't know if that's authenticated, but I
heard that. And inshallah, I pray that we
will be able to see this from a
distance.
May Allah
bring us all here again and again. Ameen.
