Alhamdulillahi rabbil alameen, always and forever we begin
by praising Allah and we testify that there
is none worthy of worship besides Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala and we send our love
and our greetings and our salutations to our
beloved Nabi Muhammad ï·º, to his pious and
his pure family, to his companions and all
those who follow his sunnah until the end
of time.
May Allah grant us to be amongst them,
ameen, ameen alhamdulillah, and assalamu alaykum special greetings
to our listeners on the radio voice of
the cape, yes the radio is here, please
behave everybody, alhamdulillah, today's khutbah comes from the
title of one of the ayat of surah
Taha where Allah says to Nabi Musa, don't
be afraid, you are already winning, you are
already in charge, why are you scared?
And that is my message today for myself,
for my family and for all of us,
when we look at the ummah we shouldn't
be scared, we shouldn't be defeatist and we
have the resources and the ability to succeed.
The story of Nabi Musa is the most
repeated story of the Qur'an, it's the
story of a tyrant, a superpower, a person
who was so great he actually believed he
was a god, he had all the armies
and wealth in the world and he was
persecuting, bullying a tiny, tiny minority that had
no army, no resources, a bunch of slaves,
does it sound familiar?
We have seen this story before, Allah repeats
this story again and again and again in
the Qur'an, and subhanAllah we have recited
these ayats so many times but only when
we see it playing out in our daily
life does the Qur'an, we understand the
true meaning of the words of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala, and there is much to
be said about the story of Nabi Musa
and Firaun and the Bani Israel, but if
we look at the story of Nabi Musa,
what is really amazing, Nabi Musa is the
hero of the story, but he starts off
very reluctantly, read surah Taha, or surah Qasas,
read the stories of Nabi Musa and count
how many times Nabi Musa says I'm scared,
no I can't, he's constantly saying I can't
do it, and Allah has to reassure him,
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has to keep
telling him you are going to succeed, it's
okay don't worry I'm with you, in surah
Taha when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala explains
to Nabi Musa you are my Nabi, you
are my Rasul, you need to go to
Firaun, Nabi Musa gives a long list of
why I can't do this, Firaun is so
powerful, they have a crime against me, I
can't even speak properly, I can't even give
a bayan, and he goes on and on
about why he can't do it, Allah says
don't worry, okay fine ya Allah I'll do
it, but I need an assistant, I need
my brother, Allah says I've given you your
brother, and Allah reminds Nabi Musa, oh Musa
you're so scared of Firaun, but you were
living the last 20 years as a baby,
you were a baby in his lap, and
I protected you, when you were so defenseless,
who protected you, I protected you, I've always
been protecting you, why are you scared now,
go, you want your brother, okay Harun is
your supporter, you have the team, then as
surah Taha continues, now Nabi Musa and Nabi
Harun are together, and they are about to
go and meet Firaun, again ya Allah we're
scared, oh ya Allah we can't go see
Firaun, he's going to punish us or he's
going to do something so terrible, Allah says
the two of you don't be scared, I'm
with you, I'm listening and I'm with you
here, I can see, just go and deliver
my message, I'm only asking you to deliver
a message, I'm not asking you to change
a government to change the world, or fight
the armies, just deliver a message, that's all
you need to do, okay so Nabi Musa
goes and he survives, then he stands in
front of the magicians, and he's already, Allah
has shown him that in his hand he
has this amazing miracle, the stick by the
power of Allah, when he drops it, it
becomes this huge snake, and when he picks
it up it becomes a stick again, he's
done this a few times already, now he
stands in front of the magicians and they
throw their ropes and their sticks and all
their tricks, and Allah says immediately Nabi Musa's
first instinct was, Nabi Musa became overwhelmed with
fear, he became paralysed with fear, and Allah
had to again say to him, what does
Allah say to him, don't be scared Musa,
you are already superior, I'm not asking you
to fight all of them, all you need
to do is drop the stick, just drop
the stick, you're already winning, and Alhamdulillah Nabi
Musa drops the stick and he defeats the
magicians, and it continues like this, until, and
this is where Subhanallah, it's almost if you
read the story of Nabi Musa, with the
eye of Nabi Musa alone and not Bani
Israel, you see his transformation, right towards the
end Nabi Musa gets his GPS coordinates, take
your people to this place, he takes him
to this place, and it's a dead end,
it's in front of the sea, he's waiting,
what now, and he's waiting, and he's waiting,
and the army of Firaun is on its
way, and it's about to land, the bombs
are about to drop on them, and the
people of Bani Israel says, you see, we
are lost, we are destroyed, there's no way
out, Nabi Musa says, Allah is going to
make a way for me, I'm not scared
now, I don't see any way out of
this situation, but I'm not scared anymore, and
when he said, Allah said, hit the sea
with the stick, I'll make a way out
for you, when Nabi Musa's fear had gone,
when he had trust in Allah, and it's
interesting, the same word, I love this, when
Nabi Musa was first asked by Allah, when
Allah commanded him, brother, go to Firaun, and
he gave a list of what's going to
go wrong, how this plan is not going
to work, Ya Allah, your plan is not
going to work, because of all these reasons,
Allah didn't give a long explanation, Allah just
said, nope, all your excuses, no, it's going
to work, now Nabi Musa is in front
of his people, and they're saying, we are
so weak, we're going to be destroyed, the
enemy is so strong, there's no way we're
going to win, Nabi Musa's answer was, I
don't know how, Allah is going to make
a way for us, and that is sort
of a lesson for us as an Ummah,
we have now been overcome with this feeling,
this paralysis of fear, that we are weak,
we are inferior, there's no way we're going
to get out of this, that our situation
is almost hopeless, and yes, when we look
at the global situation of the Ummah, it
is dire, of course we're going through a
genocide, but take for a minute, it's been
one year, more than a year, of the
most powerful, sophisticated armies in the world, in
the history of humanity, bombing a defenceless, not
a nation, a group of people, without a
government, without an army, without food, without electricity,
and they have failed to achieve any of
the objectives, this is an Ummah without a
leader for the last 100 years, an Ummah
that is uncoordinated, an Ummah that has not
mobilized its strength, and in this almost ridiculously
weak situation, the most powerful of the enemies
cannot move this Ummah, what if we just
went one level, we are on our knees,
yet our enemies cannot do anything, yesterday, Alhamdulillah,
Allahu Akbar, we see the arrest warrants for
these people, we see that no matter how
much money and power and technology they use
to shift the Ummah, the masajid are still
full, the people are still going, Allahu Akbar,
people are still on their deen, and this,
subhanAllah, you look at one of the things
that you mentioned, that as much of the
evil that they have done, without us giving
da'wah, the enemies, the Zionists, they've lost
an entire generation of their own kids, which
does not support the cause anymore, we didn't
give bayans and khutbas to their kids at
universities, they themselves are coming out and turning
against, while their parents are bombing and funding
the genocide, their kids are turning against them,
not us, this is Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala, and this is a message that the
Ummah is strong, and it will remain strong,
and it will always be in a position
of ascendancy, when things don't go right, it's
not because of our external problems, it is
because of our internal problems, the hadith, we
all know this hadith that has been repeated
so many times in the context, you are
like the foam of the sea, right, you
all know the hadith that the Nabi ï·º
mentioned, a time will come when the nations
of the world will gather around you, and
they will take your resources and your lands,
and they will come in and they will
abuse you like they want, without any restriction,
and the sahabah said why, will we be
few in number, will we be weak, would
we lack any resources, and the Nabi ï·º
said no you will be many, in other
words you are powerful, but you have this,
there is a psychological problem, it's not a
physical problem, it's a psychological problem, your enemies
no longer fear you, and you are overwhelmed
with wahan, with fear, with cowardice, with if
I do something, all the negatives, I can't
do anything, this helplessness, the Prophet ï·º is
saying the ummah does not lack in anything,
it does not lack in resources, or people,
or power, or knowledge, or technology, it just
lacks a belief in itself, and a will
to mobilize that belief, it lacks the belief
that I have the stick in my hand,
it has the power, I just need to
drop the stick, put it down, and I'm
going to win, that is message number one
in this khutbah, ummah, we need to believe
in ourselves and what we can do, growing
up as a young man, looking at our
Islamic history, Spain, the glory days, and we
always wonder what went wrong, perhaps we didn't
have enough ulama, and then you start studying
Islamic knowledge, and you realize subhanallah, we have
many great ulama, locally and abroad, then we
thought halas, maybe we have deen knowledge, but
we don't have dunya knowledge, after decades of
being abused in corporate, walhamdulillah, going into academia,
the most skilled, hardworking, educated people are the
Muslim people, I thought maybe we lack money,
do you know we raise more money, zakah
annually, that we give to the poor, qurban,
then the entire zionist lobby apac pays for
its campaigns, this is numbers, so what do
we, what do we lack in, we've got
50 Muslim majority countries, we've got land, we've
got resources, we've got oil, how is it
that we cannot move, what is the problem,
where is the problem, and this leads us
to another hadith, where the prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam mentions, he made three duas, Allah
accepted two, and he did not accept the
third one, the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
mentions, I made dua that ya Allah, well
there's two narrations of the hadith, the one
in Sahih Muslim, look at this beautiful hadith,
he says that Allah unfolded the earth for
me, and I was amazed, I saw to
the edge of the west, and the edge
of the east, to the ends of the
world, my ummah had reached there, that there
would be Muslims in every part of the
world, my ummah had expanded beyond his own
imagination, he was amazed, so then he said
ya Allah, let my ummah not be destroyed
by a single famine, you know, a coronavirus
or an earthquake that will wipe us out,
and then he said ya Allah, make dua
that no enemy should overpower them and destroy
my ummah, and so Allah subhanahu wa ta
'ala, he responds and says, when I decree
something, it will come to pass, and I've
decreed already, your ummah will not be destroyed
by a single natural disaster, it will not
happen, and number two, the hadith in Sahih
Muslim, it says, your ummah will not be
uprooted or destroyed by an enemy, even if
the entire world was against them, they will
not be defeated, but the destruction lies within
themselves, the other version of the hadith, the
Prophet ï·º made dua for three things, no
natural disaster or enemy should destroy them, and
they should not be divided and fight one
another, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala responds, I
accepted that your ummah will not be destroyed
by a natural calamity or an external enemy,
but I did not accept that they would
be united at all times, and so the
message of this hadith is, our problems are
never external, Allah has promised us, I give
you the insurance, everything outside the house, I
take care of, you don't have to worry
about any harm outside, you just need to
fix things internally, if you fix things internally,
oh ummah, you have all the resources, all
the strength, all the power, all the people
to solve any problems, you have the solution
in your hand, it's there, you are on
top, you are superior, if you use it,
if you mobilize, if you come together, so
this is a guarantee from Allah, we don't
have to worry who's in the White House,
which president, is it going to be Dajjal
one, the male Dajjal or the female Dajjal,
we don't have to worry, we don't have
to worry about them, and subhanallah Islamic history
teaches you, Persians, Romans, Crusaders, Communists, Zionists, Nazis,
every enemy has faced this ummah, has disappeared
and this ummah remains, this ummah will remain
and continue to remain, whether Islam is strong,
whether the ummah is going to be strong,
is if we hold on to Islam and
we mobilize and we correct ourselves as we
should, so now the art is very clear,
the problem of the ummah is internal, the
problem of the ummah is not external, it's
internal, so how do we fix that, it's
a slogan, what do we do, what is
the call to action of this khutbah, what
am I asking, what is the solution and
I'm gonna subhanallah try to, you know we
always try to fix the world's problems in
one khutbah, Mawlana you must fix the world's,
give a bayan and fix all the problems,
solve Palestine, subhanallah, I'm always thinking how do
I do this, but from my basic reading
of Islamic history, my basic knowledge of what,
when we were great and when we were
weak, and if you look at the story
of Nabi Musa, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
never ever said, oh Musa change the world,
oh Musa overthrow the government, oh Musa destroy
the armies of Firaun, Allah gives Nabi Musa
very very simple instructions, and the Nabi also
gave his ummah very simple instructions, don't worry
about the big things, fix the things you
can fix and the rest will take care
of itself, the only thing that we need
to do, this is my take on it
and Allah knows best, we just need to
form a jama'ah, a group of people,
jama'ah as it says, 40, 50, 100
people, a jama'ah, I'm talking about millions
of people, a group of people that are
sincere, they are skilled and Allah will take
care of the rest, our job is just
to form a jama'ah and Allah will
take care of the rest, how do I
say this, when the Nabi ï·º talks about
the times we live in, there was a
Sahaba Hudhaifa he says about himself, I used
to ask the Nabi ï·º about all the
weird stuff, the scary stuff, about Dajjal, about
Qiyamah, about the future, other Sahaba didn't ask
those things, they would say Ya Rasulullah what
du'a must I make, what dhikr must
I make, and that's what, but Hudhaifa asked
very unique questions and therefore from his hadith,
the hadith of Hudhaifa, we get a glimpse
into the future, and one of the hadith
where he says Ya Rasulullah tell me what
the future is going to be like, Alhamdulillah
Islam is strong now in his time, will
it always be like this, and the Nabi
ï·º says no, bad times are coming, fitan
is coming, hard times are coming, so he
says give me advice if I were to
live there, what was the advice of the
Nabi ï·º, what did he say, stick to
the jama'ah, just make sure you're with
the jama'ah and you'll be okay, stick
with the jama'ah and the leadership of
that jama'ah, leadership here doesn't only mean,
doesn't only mean the khalifa, we don't have
a khalifa, leadership could be your imam of
your masjid, and Mawlana didn't pay me to
say this, or the committee of your masjid,
or your ulama body, or your father if
he's the the ra'ees of the house,
stick to the authority that you have, and
stick to the jama'ah, because in another
hadith Allah says, Yadullah alal jama'ah, the
hand of Allah moves with the jama'ah,
Allah's barakah and blessings with the jama'ah,
Allah will guide that jama'ah, even if
that jama'ah is with the jama'ah,
we're sincere, we've come together, we want to
do good for the ummah, we don't know
where to begin, Allah will guide that jama
'ah what to do, Allah will guide the
jama'ah, and in the hadith says, as
for the one who breaks away, he forms
his own jama'ah, his own congregation, his
own community, his own people, he breaks away
from the jama'ah, he's with shaitan, form
a jama'ah that is sincere, that is
committed to the cause, that have diverse skills
as well, we don't need a jama'ah
of only Mawlana's, we have enough of that,
subhanAllah, we need doctors and lawyers and plumbers
and engineers and electricians, everybody to be part
of the jama'ah, we all bring our
skills, we need the wealthy to bring their
wealth, and the youth to bring their youth,
we need the brothers and the sisters, everybody
must be part of this jama'ah, sincere
about the ummah, Allah will take care of,
Allah will take care of the rest, Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala reminds that this jama
'ah, that this ummah is not the responsibility
only of the khalifa or the ulama, the
imams, everyone is a shepherd, you are all
mas'ool on this jama'ah, we have,
as I mentioned, the solution, the cure for
our problem lies within the jama'ah, you
have a piece of the cure, I have
a piece of the cure, you have a
piece of the solution, only together when we
bring it like a puzzle, we will see
that solution, but we all need to come
together, and we need to sign up to
be part of, think as an ummah, don't
think only about, everyone's life is busy and
difficult, I have kids, you have kids, we
all have, we all have things to do,
but the ummah will only change when the
ummah moves, when the ummah moves, so as
I, the one takeaway thing, if we want
to make a change, just form a jama
'ah that is united, that is sincere, and
that wants to help the ummah, Allah will
take care of the rest, now if you
say, oh it sounds so simplistic, I don't
believe it, you know what, for me, I
don't have to look in the books of
history to this country or that country, look
at South Africa, our history, Islam started here,
as we all know, when the colonizers, they
were ruling the world, they had invaded the
heartland of Islam, the biggest Muslim nation in
the world is Indonesia, they invaded it, subjugated
it, the ulama, they were sincere, they fought,
they struggled, the people died, jihad, allahumma sui
ikhwan la fi Indonesia, everyone's making dua, they
lost, the Dutch completely overran them, and then
the Dutch takes the one or two ulama
that were left, that were fighting as a
resistance, let us put them in a place
that they could never ever be in contact
with their people, if the Dutch could put
Tuanguru on the moon, they would have put
him on the moon, they found what is
the most desolate, backward, far end of the
world we could find, this place called Cape
Town in South Africa, will dump him there,
not his family, no links anymore, his entire
family is cut off from him, they didn't
allow him to even bring his Quran, his
mushaf with him, he's a man in his
60s, he's a man in his 60s, he's
brought here to South Africa to die, for
Islam to die, and they still lock him
up in Robben Island for 10 years, subhanallah,
the first people that fought oppression and were
incarcerated in Robben Island were the Muslims, we
have a legacy of fighting oppression, so Tuanguru
goes there, and subhanallah, I always reflect if
I was Tuanguru, I'm only human, but I
might have said to Allah, ya Allah, I
dedicated my life to learn the deen, to
teach the deen, to fight jihad, you didn't
decree victory for me, at the very least
ya Allah, I'm just going to make my
salah and wait to die, I've done enough,
I might have been even worse, ya Allah,
where are you now, where are you, you've
put me in the cell, away from my
family, but the imam in his 70s, he
comes out, now I'm sure at that time,
when the Muslims probably were making dua, they
said, we have these poor brothers there in
South Africa, they have no masjid, they don't
even have a masjid, they don't have a
salah khana, they don't have a Quran there,
we are just making dua that the day
will come when you know, they eventually, they're
going to disappear, may Allah make it easy
for them, there's no hope in them, there's
no hope for them, so now this little
community starts, what do we need to do,
the whole ummah is falling apart, said okay,
we can't change that, but we need a
madrasa for our kids, let's start there, a
jamaah, a small group of people, slaves, they
don't have education, they have zero resources, but
we need to teach our kids how to
recite alif ba ta, so let's make a
small madrasa, we don't have a place to
give bayans, auntie said, use my kitchen, use
my lounge, use my lounge, okay, still Islam
is an outlaw religion, you can't practice it
openly, no masjid, the petitioning, writing, writing, the
committees coming together, we write letters, please, eventually
they allow them, okay, have a masjid, we're
not going to give you a masjid, you
need to raise, like it, we have to
raise funds, raise funds for that masjid, go
buy, these are slaves, subhanAllah, these are people
who don't even own themselves, how are they
going to build a masjid, the auntie said,
you know what, I kneel at my house,
that's the waqf masjid, 230 years later, awal
masjid still stands, 230 years later, awal masjid
still stands, perhaps oldest masjid in the southern
hemisphere, did Tuwan Guru imagine, in this weak
desperate situation, that from this land, that he
also writes a land of oppression, a land
that's so, he was so human, sad, from
this land, when the ummah was on the
line and the ummah is bleeding and struggling,
there'll be this land that stands up and
raises the case against the dynast, could he
imagine that this land would be the one
that will on the global stage, give inspiration
to the entire world, Islam came here with
the intention to die, Islam came here with
no resources, what can we do, let's just
form a little jamaat together to start a
masjid, from there madrasa, from there we need
to eat halal, we make our halal institutions,
we need to have the ulama get together,
we need to work as a community, no
big billionaires gonna come and save us, we
can fight and scream and do whatever, but
at the end of the day, around the
table, our butas and our titties, we need
to solve the problem for our community here
and alhamdulillah they stuck to it, they stuck
to it, without the resources and abilities that
we have now, now we have highly educated
lawyers, doctors, engineers in our communities, our grandparents
didn't have this, but they built masjid, they
were able to succeed, they were and now
and subhanallah on a global level, shine when
no muslim country and no muslim minority in
the world can do what we can do
subhanallah, just build the jamaat, just build the
jamaat and work together subhanallah and everybody as
i said the call to action is everybody
has a role to play in this jamaat,
in the nabi's jamaat, in his community, you
had sahaba who were military sahaba, you had
sahaba who recited the quran and they were
the ulama, you had sahaba who were the
business people, side note business people, if you
look and alhamdulillah this is an affluent community,
i'm calling you out because if you look
at the 10, the top 10, most of
them were business people, after human capital, after
iman and human capital, the most important is
financial capital and a business person allah has
given you, not just if allah has given
you the ability to make money, allah has
given you the ability to solve problems so
this jamaat of the nabi had military people,
religious leaders, financial people, poets, ladies, youth, everybody
played a role and if we have one
component missing, one ingredient missing, the briyani is
not going to work, you need all the
ingredients there so everybody needs to be part
of this and i reflect especially on the
professionals alhamdulillah i mean as i said i've
been abused many many decades in corporate alhamdulillah
many of you are being abused and you
are doing wonderful jobs for your for your
bosses to become alhamdulillah one sister is an
expert top ranking person said i want to
do something for the community but i don't
know what skills do i have this is
a head of finance at a jc listed
company i said sister you are like a
swiss army knife of skills after so many
years of being abused in corporate and studying
i can put you anywhere and you can
make a change you join the zakah foundation
join the masjid join the madrasa and good
will come from you another brother a doctor
i don't know what i can do for
them you save lives brother you save lives
you think what can you do aunties who
all they can do is found their aunties
that says all i can do is make
your sisters and those aunties build masjids where
are we where are we we have skills
if allah has given you a skill that's
your amanah when we look at the ulama
we say allah allah has given you knowledge
maulana you need to use it yes we
need to use it but the same goes
for the business person allah has given you
money use it the same goes for the
person who has a formal qualification with skill
with trade allah has given you something you
are holding that cure you've got the stick
in your hand all says you already have
the power just drop the stick just do
something don't change allah's not asking us to
change the world just come together so so
inshallah the call to action on the radio
you're in the masjid go to the masjid
committee or to maulana of any masjid that
you have or any madrasa and say i
donate myself to you what can i do
to help what can i do to help
this is who i am some way there's
a need for me we will find a
need for you i end up with this
hadith if you're still not convinced what can
i do abu darda comes to nabi and
he says what is the best i can
do give me advice i want to do
something and the prophet said if you listen
serious you want to fix the ummah you
want to do good the best you can
do is have iman and then you make
jihad with your body and your money you
commit yourself to the cause your body and
your money full on everything is for the
cause too much what if i can't do
that then he said okay if you can't
do that then donate the wealth that you
love the most you love that property your
beach house what do you donate that that's
the one give the thing that you love
the most you don't want to donate everything
take the thing that you love the most
donate that give that to the cause too
much also not ready to give my car
we need to raise a vehicle who's going
to say here's my bakim on the ticket
we think this is strange that auntie sashef
nikab she had a house she donated a
house 230 years later that masjid is every
masjid in the country of south africa she
gets a reward for it let's think about
that nonetheless we get back to say yeah
rasul i can't donate the thing i love
the most what else can i do so
then the prophet said then support the artisan
meaning support the people who are doing the
work you don't have the time you don't
have the resources alhamdulillah there are people who
are feeding orphans there are people building masajid
there are people on the committee go to
them and say i don't have the time
capacity to do what you're doing how can
i help is there any small thing can
i take the minutes can i fetch the
sisters can i do a delivery can i
just do something just do something to help
the cause you can't put yourself in the
cause you can't give to the cause at
least help in some small way they said
what if i can't even do that i
can't even do a little but for the
cause and maybe at the very least this
is your contribution the nabi sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam said then don't work against the cause
that is your sadaqah while they are working
and doing and moving forward you can't help
them you can't support them at least don't
work against them don't be an obstacle for
them don't be an obstacle for the ummah
don't be the one that says this organization
the mjc or sanza for this masjid is
bad and that committee is all we have
our problems alhamdulillah we're in there we're trying
to fix it to the best of our
ability if you have a problem with the
committee and the masjid and join us the
door is open i speak for more than
a door is open mjc door is open
help us if you said i don't have
time for that i don't i can't donate
to us you can't do that then make
dua for us and don't work against us
alhamdulillah what is great about south africa is
we understood this if we don't solve our
problems as a community no one is going
to come in to solve our problems we
need to unite and work together for a
common good whatever that good is and allah
will take care of the rest may allah
grant us to be a united ummah in
our jamaah may allah grant our hearts to
be united may allah grant that we be
an inspiration for the ummah and be a
means by which allah changes the world for
the good may allah help our brothers and
sisters in palestine and throughout the world allah
grant us all what a

things happen sheikh has touched based on some
so let us inshallah show them what has

so huge that gaza will be liberated nobody
knows let us do something for the cause
inshallah and really my heart goes out once
again to sheikh that has changed the mind
-setting in my heart and everything that i
