Mustafa Khattab – Adha Khutba 2of2

The second lesson we take from the story

of Ibrahim,

and we conclude with this inshallah,

is Hajj.

Again,

him and his son buy themselves in the

desert, and the command came from

to build the house,

to raise the walls of the Kaaba.

It took them a long time to rebuild

it, but again they submitted themselves to Allah

and they built it in the perfect way.

Ibrahim

was asked by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to

proclaim for the people to come for Hajj,

and he said, oh Allah, I'm here by

myself in the desert.

Who can hear my voice?

At that time written over Yushaq, Nozani

speaker.

So Allah subhanahu wa'ala said, you do the

proclamation

and the delivery of the message is with

me, I will deliver it.

Today,

4 to 5000000 people are making

the Hajj because of the proclamation, the dawah

of Ibrahim All the people there are equal

before Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

The

young,

the

old, the men,

the women,

Muslims from Asia,

Muslims from Africa,

Muslims from Europe,

Muslims from Australia,

Muslims from North America, Muslims from South America.

They are all equal before Allah subhanahu wa

ta'ala.

The guy standing to

your right side in the Hajj can be

a king

or a president

and a leader.

You wouldn't tell because they have the same

clothes.

They worship the same God.

They face the same tibla. They recite the

same book. They follow the same prophets.

And the guy standing to your left

can be a carpenter,

or he can be a dust collector,

or he can even be Joe the plumber.

He can be anybody.

But you wouldn't tell they are the same.

And this

Hajj

is

of judgment.

This is the way it should be understood.

All the people are equal before Allah Subhanahu

Wa Ta'ala.

Don't say this is white, this is black,

this is Asian, this is African. We are

all equal before Allah Subhanahu

and this is what the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi

wa Salam said in the farewell sermon.

He said,

O people,

you are all from Adam and Adam is

from dust. You are you are all equal.

There is no superiority

for white over black or Arab over non

Arab except with tie piety and righteousness.

When the

forgiveness of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

and his grace and blessing.

The prophet said,

come back just like the day he was

born, pre evil all sins.

In another version by Imam Tirmidhi,

the prophet

says that whoever made Hajj

in a perfect manner without committing evil deeds

or using

indecent language, he will come back

free of sins. His all sins will be

forgiven.

So Fianna Sawhid

was making Hajj and he was asking Allah

and

crying. Then Malek ibn Ziar came to him

and said, who is the worst of the

people here? The thousands of people present here.

Who is the worst among them?

So

it

says, The one who thinks

that he has a lot of sins and

they are too much for Allah

to forgive.

Allah

will forgive

anything. All you have to do is just

ask him for forgiveness.

Today, Insha'Allah,

as we ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to

forgive us, we will be giving utayah

and we said you can offer

goats or sheep for 1 family or 7

families can share a camel or a cow

divided into 3 parts.

One part will give for yourself and your

family.

A second part will be given to your

neighbors and friends,

Muslims, non Muslims, it doesn't matter. And the

third part will be given to the poor.

We ask Allah

to accept from us and to reward us

according to the best of our intentions

and to forgive our sins and to forgive

us anything we have done by mistake or

forgetfulness

and to forgive all all Muslims and

to help us follow the example of the

prophet

in the best way and to give us

the best in this life and the best

in the life to come.
