I bear witness that there's none worthy of

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

our worship except Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

And I bear witness that Muhammad is

00:00:51 --> 00:00:52

the seal of the prophets and the final

00:00:53 --> 00:00:54

messenger to all of humanity.

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56

Whoever Allah

00:00:56 --> 00:00:59

guides, there is none to misguide. And whoever

00:00:59 --> 00:01:00

Allah

00:01:00 --> 00:01:03

leaves astray, there is none to guide aright.

00:03:06 --> 00:03:08

So inshaAllah, the focus for the Fakkal today

00:03:09 --> 00:03:11

will be the 10 days of Dhul Hijjah,

00:03:12 --> 00:03:15

and how we can maximize our Hasanat.

00:03:15 --> 00:03:16

It's the Sunnah of Allah

00:03:17 --> 00:03:18

to send

00:03:18 --> 00:03:21

all these, special times, to give us a

00:03:21 --> 00:03:24

way, to give us a boost in the

00:03:24 --> 00:03:26

situation we have, to boost our iman,

00:03:26 --> 00:03:27

and,

00:03:27 --> 00:03:29

to, make it easy for us to get

00:03:29 --> 00:03:31

close to Him. So Allah

00:03:32 --> 00:03:33

would send the month of Ramadan,

00:03:34 --> 00:03:37

on an annual basis, He will send an

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

annual boost, the month of Ramadan,

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41

and He will send the 10 days of

00:03:41 --> 00:03:43

Juhijja, which are about to start insha'Allah.

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46

And also, he would send the Laylatul Qadr

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49

on an annual basis every year. And Allah

00:03:50 --> 00:03:52

would send the day of Arafah, the greatest

00:03:52 --> 00:03:53

day of the year,

00:03:53 --> 00:03:56

which will be the 11th this year, insha'Allah.

00:03:56 --> 00:03:57

It's gonna be a Sunday.

00:03:58 --> 00:04:00

And Allah, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, would send us

00:04:00 --> 00:04:02

a boost on a weekly basis, which is

00:04:02 --> 00:04:04

the day of Jum'ah, and so on and

00:04:04 --> 00:04:06

so forth. Allah, Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, will send

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08

us a boost every day,

00:04:08 --> 00:04:11

which is, for example, the last part of

00:04:11 --> 00:04:13

the night, when you pray, you make dua,

00:04:13 --> 00:04:15

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will say,

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

Whatever you ask for, I give it to

00:04:18 --> 00:04:18

you.

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will give you a

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23

boost 5 times a day. Every time you

00:04:23 --> 00:04:26

pray, you put your forehead on the ground,

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28

you say, Yeah Allah, He give it to

00:04:28 --> 00:04:29

you. So Allah

00:04:29 --> 00:04:32

is boosting your iman all the time, on

00:04:32 --> 00:04:35

an annual basis, a monthly basis, a weekly

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

basis, a daily basis,

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39

and so on and so forth. So before

00:04:39 --> 00:04:41

I talk about the 10 days of the

00:04:41 --> 00:04:43

hija, I'm gonna start with this, story.

00:04:43 --> 00:04:45

They say that a man

00:04:45 --> 00:04:48

fell in a well, a hole that was

00:04:48 --> 00:04:49

365

00:04:50 --> 00:04:51

feet deep.

00:04:52 --> 00:04:54

And the people tried to save him. They

00:04:54 --> 00:04:56

started to throw ropes, so they take him

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59

out, and they say that so many ropes

00:04:59 --> 00:05:01

came down, and eventually the guy took the

00:05:01 --> 00:05:03

strongest one of them, and he put it

00:05:03 --> 00:05:06

around his neck. So by the time they

00:05:06 --> 00:05:07

pulled him out, he was dead.

00:05:08 --> 00:05:11

How? Well, this is exactly like the year,

00:05:12 --> 00:05:12

365

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

days. We make mistakes day and night. We're

00:05:15 --> 00:05:18

not perfect. We're not angels. So Allah

00:05:19 --> 00:05:21

is sending these ropes to save us. Ramadan,

00:05:22 --> 00:05:25

Laylatul Qadr, the 10 of the hija, the

00:05:25 --> 00:05:28

day of Arafah, the namaz, the sahar before

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

fash, and so on and so forth. So

00:05:30 --> 00:05:32

what we do? Many of us, we just

00:05:32 --> 00:05:35

take the rope, put it around our necks,

00:05:35 --> 00:05:38

by doing more Sayy'al, by committing more sins,

00:05:38 --> 00:05:39

in the month of Ramadan,

00:05:40 --> 00:05:41

in the last ten, in the 10th of

00:05:41 --> 00:05:44

Dhul Hijjah, and on the day of Arafah.

00:05:44 --> 00:05:45

Some people don't care.

00:05:45 --> 00:05:47

Allah is sending us all these blessings, but

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

some people don't care. They put the robe

00:05:49 --> 00:05:52

around their necks by doing more Sayyah, by

00:05:52 --> 00:05:55

displeasing Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala more. So they

00:05:55 --> 00:05:56

don't take advantage

00:05:57 --> 00:05:58

of this, safety,

00:05:59 --> 00:06:01

rope that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is sending

00:06:01 --> 00:06:03

to them. So the smart person,

00:06:03 --> 00:06:04

The

00:06:06 --> 00:06:09

person who takes advantage of these special times,

00:06:09 --> 00:06:10

to get close to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:06:12 --> 00:06:15

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, Absaam Bin Ashfir Ramadan.

00:06:15 --> 00:06:18

Wa Fajri Walayalilin Ash. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:06:18 --> 00:06:18

swore

00:06:19 --> 00:06:21

by these 10 days, which are to start

00:06:21 --> 00:06:25

tomorrow insha'Allah, and continue till the, 10th, the

00:06:25 --> 00:06:25

11th

00:06:26 --> 00:06:28

of this month, September, insha'Allah.

00:06:29 --> 00:06:30

So,

00:06:30 --> 00:06:31

if Allah swears

00:06:32 --> 00:06:34

by something, it means that this is a

00:06:34 --> 00:06:36

very special thing. Allah

00:06:37 --> 00:06:40

swears by al fajr, He swears by the

00:06:40 --> 00:06:43

sun, He swears by the moon, He swears

00:06:43 --> 00:06:44

by the life of Muhammad Allah

00:06:45 --> 00:06:46

swears

00:06:50 --> 00:06:51

by

00:06:51 --> 00:06:52

the

00:06:53 --> 00:06:53

life of Muhammad. Allah swears by the life

00:06:53 --> 00:06:55

of Muhammad, and this is the only time

00:06:55 --> 00:06:57

in the Quran where Allah

00:06:57 --> 00:06:59

swears by the life of a human being.

00:06:59 --> 00:07:02

Because it is so precious to Allah swears.

00:07:02 --> 00:07:04

And Nabi al SAW Alaihi wa sallam your

00:07:04 --> 00:07:06

poem from Hadith al Quffari of your writing,

00:07:06 --> 00:07:06

imaminalayamin

00:07:07 --> 00:07:07

alaamalasali

00:07:08 --> 00:07:08

for

00:07:10 --> 00:07:11

There are no days

00:07:12 --> 00:07:14

in which the deeds are more beloved to

00:07:14 --> 00:07:16

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala than these 10 days

00:07:16 --> 00:07:17

of their hija.

00:07:17 --> 00:07:18

Why?

00:07:38 --> 00:07:40

So Ibn Hajjar, when he explained

00:07:41 --> 00:07:42

why these 10 days,

00:07:43 --> 00:07:45

of the Hajj are the best, of course,

00:07:45 --> 00:07:47

everyone knows that the last 10 nights of

00:07:47 --> 00:07:48

Ramadan are the best nights

00:07:49 --> 00:07:50

because of

00:07:51 --> 00:07:52

But the 10 days of the Hijjah, they

00:07:52 --> 00:07:54

are the best because of the day of

00:07:54 --> 00:07:57

Araf. So these are the best nights, but

00:07:57 --> 00:07:58

the Hijjah, they are the best days.

00:07:59 --> 00:08:01

Right? Why? He said because in the 10

00:08:01 --> 00:08:04

of the Hijjah, you do some certain Rebada,

00:08:04 --> 00:08:06

that you don't do any other time.

00:08:06 --> 00:08:08

Yes, we pray all year long, we give

00:08:08 --> 00:08:10

Zakah, we give sadaqa,

00:08:10 --> 00:08:12

we fasten in the month of Ramadan,

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

but in addition to these things, we do

00:08:14 --> 00:08:16

these things also in the month of Dhul

00:08:16 --> 00:08:17

Hijjah, you fast,

00:08:18 --> 00:08:20

the day of Arafa, and any other day

00:08:20 --> 00:08:23

during the 1st night. You give Sadaka, you

00:08:23 --> 00:08:25

pray, but you also do Hajj. This is

00:08:25 --> 00:08:28

something you don't do any time else in

00:08:28 --> 00:08:30

the year. You give Ochayah for Bani, and

00:08:30 --> 00:08:32

this is something you don't do any other

00:08:32 --> 00:08:34

time in the year, and this is why

00:08:34 --> 00:08:35

these days are special.

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38

If we talk for example about some of

00:08:38 --> 00:08:40

the special Ibadat like Hajj.

00:09:22 --> 00:09:24

So, the Hajj, the pilgrimage to Makkah,

00:09:26 --> 00:09:28

every year, 3 to 5000000 people gather in

00:09:28 --> 00:09:30

Makkah for the Hajj. And this is the

00:09:30 --> 00:09:31

largest

00:09:32 --> 00:09:32

religious gathering

00:09:33 --> 00:09:35

in the whole world. And you see people

00:09:35 --> 00:09:38

coming from all directions, from Japan, from Pakistan,

00:09:39 --> 00:09:40

from Brazil,

00:09:40 --> 00:09:43

from South Africa, from Latin America, from all

00:09:43 --> 00:09:45

over the world, and they get together like

00:09:45 --> 00:09:46

brothers and sisters.

00:09:47 --> 00:09:49

It's a rehearsal for the Day of Judgment.

00:09:49 --> 00:09:52

Everyone is next to each other. The rich

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54

next to the poor, the president next to

00:09:54 --> 00:09:57

the farmer, everyone is together before Allah Subhanahu

00:09:57 --> 00:10:00

Wa Ta'ala. They're all equal. So this is

00:10:00 --> 00:10:01

a reminder of the equality

00:10:02 --> 00:10:02

of,

00:10:03 --> 00:10:05

the people in the side of Allah Subhanahu

00:10:05 --> 00:10:07

Wa Ta'ala So the Alama' say the reason

00:10:07 --> 00:10:09

why Hajj is very special because it's the

00:10:09 --> 00:10:12

combination of the Ibarat in Islam, the combination,

00:10:12 --> 00:10:13

the perfection

00:10:13 --> 00:10:15

of the 5 pillars of Islam.

00:10:15 --> 00:10:17

So they say, this is why when someone

00:10:17 --> 00:10:18

becomes Muslim,

00:10:19 --> 00:10:22

Alhamdulillah, right before salah, 5 minutes before we

00:10:22 --> 00:10:24

started the Khutbah, one brother came forward and

00:10:24 --> 00:10:25

he took

00:10:28 --> 00:10:28

shahara.

00:10:29 --> 00:10:31

So alhamdulillah, in the month of August,

00:10:31 --> 00:10:34

9 people have taken shahara in this masjid.

00:10:34 --> 00:10:36

9 people. So we ask Allah

00:10:37 --> 00:10:38

to guide people to Islam, and to keep

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40

them on the Surat al Mustafiem, InshaAllah.

00:10:41 --> 00:10:42

So when someone takes Shahada,

00:10:43 --> 00:10:45

we don't give call them with a shahid.

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47

When someone prays, we don't call them Musali

00:10:47 --> 00:10:49

Fulan, Musali Ibrahim.

00:10:49 --> 00:10:51

When one gives Zakah, we don't call them

00:10:51 --> 00:10:51

Muzaki.

00:10:52 --> 00:10:54

When someone fouls, we don't call them,

00:10:54 --> 00:10:55

Sa'im Fulan

00:10:56 --> 00:10:58

with their name. But when someone does the

00:10:58 --> 00:11:00

Hajj, we call them Hajjifulan.

00:11:00 --> 00:11:04

Hajj Ibrahim, Hajj Mostafa, because they have completed

00:11:05 --> 00:11:08

their 5 pillars, and now their faith, or

00:11:08 --> 00:11:09

the 5 pillars are perfect in the sight

00:11:09 --> 00:11:11

of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:11:12 --> 00:11:14

But Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala knows that not

00:11:14 --> 00:11:16

every one of us would be go be

00:11:16 --> 00:11:18

able to go to Makkah for the Hajj.

00:11:18 --> 00:11:19

Right? If there are 1,600,000,000

00:11:20 --> 00:11:21

Muslims,

00:11:21 --> 00:11:22

how many of them will be able to

00:11:22 --> 00:11:23

go for the Hajj?

00:11:31 --> 00:11:33

Only those who are able to afford

00:11:33 --> 00:11:35

the Hajj, they have the physical and the

00:11:35 --> 00:11:38

financial ability to go, they can do it.

00:11:38 --> 00:11:41

But the great majority of Muslims will not

00:11:41 --> 00:11:42

be able to do the Hajj.

00:11:43 --> 00:11:44

And this is why

00:11:53 --> 00:11:55

So this is why Allah

00:11:55 --> 00:11:58

He knows that most people will not be

00:11:58 --> 00:11:59

able to go for the Hajj. So He

00:11:59 --> 00:12:02

gives you some opportunities, some things that if

00:12:02 --> 00:12:04

you do, you will get the reward of

00:12:04 --> 00:12:06

Hajj even without going. I'll give you a

00:12:06 --> 00:12:08

few from the Sunnah, authentic Hadith.

00:12:09 --> 00:12:10

So the first one is Sahih al Midi.

00:12:10 --> 00:12:11

The Prophet

00:12:12 --> 00:12:12

says

00:12:23 --> 00:12:25

So the Prophet SAW says if you pray

00:12:25 --> 00:12:26

Fazl I Jama'ah

00:12:27 --> 00:12:30

and you sit and remember Allah until sunrise,

00:12:30 --> 00:12:32

then you pray Turak Adoha or Ishraq, you

00:12:32 --> 00:12:34

will get the reward of Hajj and Umrah,

00:12:34 --> 00:12:37

pilgrimage and Umrah. Complete, complete, complete. It's an

00:12:37 --> 00:12:38

authentic Hadith.

00:12:39 --> 00:12:41

The Ulamah is saying this also applies to

00:12:41 --> 00:12:41

the sisters

00:12:42 --> 00:12:43

who pray at home because they can't come

00:12:43 --> 00:12:45

to the house, the kids and the house.

00:12:45 --> 00:12:47

If they pray in Jannah with their kids

00:12:47 --> 00:12:50

at home, and they remember Allah, they pray

00:12:50 --> 00:12:51

to the rakah after sunrise, they'll give the

00:12:51 --> 00:12:53

same reward like,

00:12:53 --> 00:12:55

the brothers who come to the Masjid or

00:12:55 --> 00:12:56

pray whatever they are.

00:12:57 --> 00:12:59

In Lafani in Abu al Masjid

00:13:00 --> 00:13:00

al

00:13:01 --> 00:13:01

Masjid

00:13:02 --> 00:13:02

al

00:13:03 --> 00:13:03

Masjid

00:13:04 --> 00:13:04

al Masjid al Masjid al Masjid al Masjid

00:13:04 --> 00:13:07

al Masjid al Masjid al Masjid al Masjid

00:13:07 --> 00:13:07

al Masjid al Masjid al Masjid

00:13:08 --> 00:13:08

al

00:13:18 --> 00:13:20

The Prophet said, if you if you make

00:13:20 --> 00:13:21

wudu at home,

00:13:22 --> 00:13:23

if you make wudu at home, it's in

00:13:23 --> 00:13:25

Muslim, Abu Dawood.

00:13:25 --> 00:13:27

If you make wudu at home and come

00:13:27 --> 00:13:29

to the masjid for salah, like Jum'ah, any

00:13:29 --> 00:13:32

other salah, Allah will give you the reward

00:13:32 --> 00:13:33

of Hajj. He makes it very easy for

00:13:33 --> 00:13:34

you.

00:13:44 --> 00:13:46

The Prophet SAW says in this authentic hadith,

00:13:47 --> 00:13:48

if you go to the Masjid

00:13:49 --> 00:13:51

to gain some knowledge or to teach knowledge

00:13:52 --> 00:13:54

like you come for a class or halakal

00:13:54 --> 00:13:55

or foot to listen,

00:13:56 --> 00:13:58

or to teach someone to read Quran, someone

00:13:58 --> 00:14:01

to make salah, then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:14:01 --> 00:14:02

will give you the word of Hajj. So

00:14:02 --> 00:14:04

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala makes it very easy

00:14:04 --> 00:14:06

for you, because some of us, they don't

00:14:06 --> 00:14:08

have the money to go, their hearts will

00:14:08 --> 00:14:10

be broken, and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is

00:14:10 --> 00:14:12

telling you, No, don't worry.

00:14:12 --> 00:14:14

I got your back. You can get the

00:14:14 --> 00:14:16

reward even without leaving your house.

00:14:17 --> 00:14:19

It is similar in reward, but the honor

00:14:19 --> 00:14:21

of Hajj, if you actually take the journey

00:14:21 --> 00:14:24

and go, this is a different level. But

00:14:24 --> 00:14:25

again, Allah

00:14:26 --> 00:14:27

to make it easy for you to feel

00:14:27 --> 00:14:30

good, because you don't have the means to

00:14:30 --> 00:14:32

go, He makes it easy for you Alhamdulillah.

00:14:32 --> 00:14:34

But, please don't go around, if you play

00:14:34 --> 00:14:37

a dua like after sunrise and dhikr, or

00:14:37 --> 00:14:38

if you come to the Masjid for the

00:14:38 --> 00:14:39

Halakah,

00:14:39 --> 00:14:42

or you go to Umrah for Hajj, sorry,

00:14:42 --> 00:14:43

Umrah Ramadan,

00:14:43 --> 00:14:45

and, don't go around asking people to call

00:14:45 --> 00:14:47

you Hajji, right? No, you don't have the

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

title. You go, you get the title if

00:14:49 --> 00:14:52

you actually take the journey and go. But

00:14:52 --> 00:14:54

if you do it here, Isha'at and come

00:14:54 --> 00:14:55

to the Masjid, no no. You get the

00:14:55 --> 00:14:58

similar reward, but you don't get this, title,

00:14:58 --> 00:14:59

insha'Allah.

00:15:01 --> 00:15:03

Also the day of Arafah, which is the

00:15:03 --> 00:15:05

best day in the whole year.

00:15:05 --> 00:15:07

And Laylatul Qadr is the best night in

00:15:07 --> 00:15:08

the whole year.

00:15:09 --> 00:15:10

Fil Hadith,

00:15:10 --> 00:15:12

Fisayikh Muslim, wafi Muslim, wafi Muslim, wafi Muslim,

00:15:13 --> 00:15:15

wafi Muslim, wafi Muslim, wafi Muslim, wafi Muslim,

00:15:15 --> 00:15:15

wafi Muslim, wafi Muslim, wafi Muslim, wafi Muslim,

00:15:15 --> 00:15:17

wafi Muslim, wafi Muslim, wafi

00:15:53 --> 00:15:55

So in this authentic hadith in Muslim,

00:15:56 --> 00:15:58

Abu Dawood and the other books of Surah,

00:15:58 --> 00:16:00

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will look at the

00:16:00 --> 00:16:02

people who are trying to get close to

00:16:02 --> 00:16:04

him and get their sins forgiven on the

00:16:04 --> 00:16:05

day of Arafah,

00:16:05 --> 00:16:08

by fasting, by doing Hajj on Arafah, and

00:16:08 --> 00:16:10

so on and so forth. And Allah

00:16:11 --> 00:16:12

will draw near his servants,

00:16:13 --> 00:16:15

and Allah will boast of them in front

00:16:15 --> 00:16:16

of the Malaika,

00:16:16 --> 00:16:18

and Allah will ask them, Malaika, what do

00:16:18 --> 00:16:20

they want from me? Why are they fasting?

00:16:20 --> 00:16:22

Why are they doing Hajj? They say, You

00:16:22 --> 00:16:25

Allah, because they want your forgiveness. So Allah

00:16:25 --> 00:16:27

will tell them, bear witness that I have

00:16:27 --> 00:16:30

forgiven all of them. But the Malaygul said,

00:16:30 --> 00:16:32

But You Allah, there are some of them,

00:16:32 --> 00:16:33

they have a lot of sins.

00:16:34 --> 00:16:36

Their back, there are burdens of sins on

00:16:36 --> 00:16:39

their backs. What about them? Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:16:39 --> 00:16:41

Ta'ala will say, They are among them, I'll

00:16:41 --> 00:16:43

forgive them all. Ta'hadam minwasayimafiratillah

00:16:44 --> 00:16:46

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala When Nabi salaam Ya'quir

00:16:47 --> 00:16:49

That if you fast on the day of

00:16:49 --> 00:16:49

Arafah

00:16:50 --> 00:16:52

Which is gonna be Sunday, 11th,

00:16:53 --> 00:16:54

of September

00:16:54 --> 00:16:58

The Prophet says fasting on this day will

00:16:58 --> 00:17:00

make up for all the small sins committed

00:17:00 --> 00:17:02

in the past year and the next year.

00:17:02 --> 00:17:05

So now you observe one day of Rebada

00:17:05 --> 00:17:08

24 hours, and you would give 24 months

00:17:08 --> 00:17:11

forgiven. You can't get any beef, better deal

00:17:11 --> 00:17:13

than that. Right? From Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:17:13 --> 00:17:15

So this is a very very special day

00:17:15 --> 00:17:18

to get your sins forgiven. I remember one

00:17:18 --> 00:17:20

time I mentioned the hadith,

00:17:20 --> 00:17:22

in Edmonton many years back,

00:17:22 --> 00:17:23

and a brother came to me.

00:17:24 --> 00:17:26

He was like 65 70 years old, and

00:17:26 --> 00:17:29

he said, I never heard about this hadith

00:17:29 --> 00:17:31

regarding the day of Arafah in my life.

00:17:32 --> 00:17:34

Maybe he was not practicing when he was

00:17:34 --> 00:17:36

younger, and he never heard the hadith.

00:17:36 --> 00:17:39

And he said that was the 1st year

00:17:39 --> 00:17:40

of his life 65

00:17:40 --> 00:17:43

70 years old to fast on the day

00:17:43 --> 00:17:45

of Arafah because he never he said I

00:17:45 --> 00:17:46

never heard of the reward

00:17:46 --> 00:17:49

2 years for fasting for 12 13 hours

00:17:49 --> 00:17:49

Alhamdulillah

00:17:50 --> 00:17:51

You can't get any better than deal than

00:17:51 --> 00:17:54

that. So we ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:17:54 --> 00:17:55

to give us the reward for our Ibadah

00:17:55 --> 00:17:57

in these 10 days, and we ask Allah

00:17:57 --> 00:17:59

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to accept our good deeds

00:17:59 --> 00:18:00

and forgive our sins.

00:19:31 --> 00:19:33

So, inshaAllah, in the next few minutes we'll

00:19:33 --> 00:19:35

talk about Uthayah Korbani.

00:19:35 --> 00:19:38

It's aibara in this month. And SubhanAllah, the

00:19:38 --> 00:19:39

Ibadat in Islam

00:19:41 --> 00:19:42

are all about other people.

00:19:43 --> 00:19:44

Because sometimes,

00:19:44 --> 00:19:47

especially in the Western culture, if there's an

00:19:47 --> 00:19:48

occasion, it's about you.

00:19:49 --> 00:19:52

If it's for example, you're if someone is

00:19:52 --> 00:19:55

doing their birthday, okay, where is my cake

00:19:55 --> 00:19:57

and my, you know, my gifts?

00:19:57 --> 00:20:00

If it's Halloween, where are my, you know,

00:20:00 --> 00:20:03

sweets? If it's Valentine's, where's my teddy bear

00:20:03 --> 00:20:05

and the red roses? It's always about me.

00:20:06 --> 00:20:09

Anniversary, where's my ring? It's always about me.

00:20:10 --> 00:20:11

But in Islam,

00:20:11 --> 00:20:13

the Abadad are also about sharing with other

00:20:13 --> 00:20:14

people.

00:20:14 --> 00:20:16

Eid al Fit What do we do right

00:20:16 --> 00:20:18

before Eid al Fit? You give Zakat al

00:20:18 --> 00:20:20

Fit. You give to those who are less

00:20:20 --> 00:20:22

fortunate, so they don't beg people for food

00:20:22 --> 00:20:24

on the day of Eid. Eid al Athha,

00:20:24 --> 00:20:25

you give them meat.

00:20:26 --> 00:20:28

You share with other people.

00:20:28 --> 00:20:30

Say for example, you make a mistake in

00:20:30 --> 00:20:31

fasting,

00:20:31 --> 00:20:33

or you break an oath.

00:20:33 --> 00:20:36

What do you do? Ya'taamu Masakin You feed

00:20:36 --> 00:20:37

the poor.

00:20:37 --> 00:20:39

It's always about other people. You know, your

00:20:39 --> 00:20:41

means of getting closer to Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:20:41 --> 00:20:43

Ta'ala is serving other people.

00:20:44 --> 00:20:47

Which teaches us that you cannot be a

00:20:47 --> 00:20:47

good Muslim

00:20:48 --> 00:20:50

unless you become a good human being first.

00:20:50 --> 00:20:52

You share with other people, and take good

00:20:52 --> 00:20:54

care of your brothers and sisters, and help

00:20:54 --> 00:20:56

others. So this is what Ibadad is all

00:20:56 --> 00:20:58

about in this month. So one of them

00:20:58 --> 00:21:01

is helping others and sharing with them.

00:21:02 --> 00:21:04

So Korbani dawukhaya,

00:21:04 --> 00:21:07

we offer this goat or sheep. Of course,

00:21:07 --> 00:21:10

it's a sunnah from Ibrahim alaihis salaam according

00:21:10 --> 00:21:12

to the hadith of the Prophet SAW.

00:21:12 --> 00:21:14

So you buy the goat or the sheep

00:21:14 --> 00:21:15

for 1 family.

00:21:16 --> 00:21:18

If they have one source of income through

00:21:18 --> 00:21:19

1 of them, he will do it on

00:21:19 --> 00:21:20

behalf of everyone.

00:21:20 --> 00:21:22

Same families can share a cow, and so

00:21:22 --> 00:21:23

on and so forth.

00:21:24 --> 00:21:25

The time is to do it right after

00:21:25 --> 00:21:28

salatul Eid. If we pray Eid, InshaAllah, it's

00:21:28 --> 00:21:29

gonna be on Monday

00:21:30 --> 00:21:30

12th

00:21:30 --> 00:21:31

September.

00:21:32 --> 00:21:34

Then after Eid, you go and offer your

00:21:34 --> 00:21:35

RuTayah, your Qurban.

00:21:36 --> 00:21:38

And you have, it's gonna be Monday, then

00:21:38 --> 00:21:41

you have Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. You have 4

00:21:41 --> 00:21:43

days to offer you a Qurban. It's not

00:21:43 --> 00:21:45

only in the first day, you have 4

00:21:45 --> 00:21:47

days to do it. The 10th Dhul Hijjah,

00:21:47 --> 00:21:48

11th, 12th and 13th.

00:21:49 --> 00:21:51

So you have plenty of time inshallah to

00:21:51 --> 00:21:52

offer the, Torbani

00:21:52 --> 00:21:54

and share with other people.

00:21:54 --> 00:21:56

You can do it here in Canada, Alhamdulillah.

00:21:57 --> 00:21:59

If you think there are some people out

00:21:59 --> 00:22:02

there in other countries, in Palestine, in Pakistan,

00:22:02 --> 00:22:04

in Egypt, in Syria, in Yemen, who are

00:22:04 --> 00:22:06

more in need than us,

00:22:07 --> 00:22:08

then send it to them. You can do

00:22:08 --> 00:22:09

it through the Masjid.

00:22:10 --> 00:22:10

A $150

00:22:11 --> 00:22:13

you can give to a brother, Abdul Salam,

00:22:13 --> 00:22:15

after salah, insha'Allah. And Allah will give you

00:22:15 --> 00:22:17

the reward. Well, I have been to places,

00:22:17 --> 00:22:19

and I know I know some families personally,

00:22:20 --> 00:22:22

who only eat meat in the Eid ul

00:22:22 --> 00:22:22

Adhasta.

00:22:23 --> 00:22:24

Yeah. Here in Canada, you go to in

00:22:24 --> 00:22:27

a store, there are many zabiha halal everywhere.

00:22:27 --> 00:22:30

It's available, affordable. Alhamdulillah. We have no problem

00:22:30 --> 00:22:31

with food.

00:22:31 --> 00:22:34

We have no problem with water. Allah

00:22:34 --> 00:22:35

has blessed

00:22:35 --> 00:22:36

us. Meat everywhere.

00:22:37 --> 00:22:37

Zabiha.

00:22:39 --> 00:22:41

You have water everywhere. We have no problem.

00:22:41 --> 00:22:44

People in Kenya and other places in Africa,

00:22:44 --> 00:22:45

they walk for miles

00:22:46 --> 00:22:49

to get some dirty water to drink. Allah

00:22:50 --> 00:22:52

has blessed us. So part of you are

00:22:52 --> 00:22:55

saying thank you to Allah, Alhamdulillah, is to

00:22:55 --> 00:22:57

help those who are in need. Send some

00:22:57 --> 00:22:58

to your brothers and sisters.

00:22:59 --> 00:23:00

So inshallah,

00:23:00 --> 00:23:03

it's recommended that you divide the animal in

00:23:03 --> 00:23:04

3 equal parts.

00:23:05 --> 00:23:07

1 share for you, 1 third for you

00:23:07 --> 00:23:08

and the family,

00:23:08 --> 00:23:11

one for neighbors and friends, and the last

00:23:11 --> 00:23:12

third is for the poor.

00:23:13 --> 00:23:13

And the 3,

00:23:14 --> 00:23:16

shares have to be equal, because some people

00:23:16 --> 00:23:18

think, Oh, I'm gonna take the best part

00:23:18 --> 00:23:19

for myself,

00:23:19 --> 00:23:20

the shank,

00:23:20 --> 00:23:22

which is probably the best part,

00:23:22 --> 00:23:25

and you keep that for your family. The

00:23:25 --> 00:23:27

animal have 3 legs, you take the 4

00:23:27 --> 00:23:29

actually 4. Four legs.

00:23:30 --> 00:23:32

Biology was my my weakness.

00:23:33 --> 00:23:36

So, it has 4 legs. You keep the

00:23:36 --> 00:23:37

4 legs for yourself,

00:23:37 --> 00:23:38

and you take the

00:23:39 --> 00:23:41

intestines and the insides and the legs, and

00:23:41 --> 00:23:43

you throw them to the pool.

00:23:43 --> 00:23:45

Oh, if I give them anything they will

00:23:45 --> 00:23:47

be dancing in the street, Khalas. No, no,

00:23:47 --> 00:23:49

no, no. You are not doing them a

00:23:49 --> 00:23:49

favor,

00:23:50 --> 00:23:52

You are doing yourself a favor by giving

00:23:52 --> 00:23:53

them the best part.

00:23:54 --> 00:23:55

Like when the Prophet

00:23:56 --> 00:23:59

offered a goat, and he told his wife,

00:23:59 --> 00:24:01

okay, what is left? She said, we send

00:24:01 --> 00:24:04

everything to the poor except for, you know,

00:24:04 --> 00:24:07

one leg, or one shoulder. But the rest

00:24:07 --> 00:24:09

is gone! And the Prophet said,

00:24:09 --> 00:24:10

No!

00:24:10 --> 00:24:13

The rest, the, the shoulder is left, or

00:24:13 --> 00:24:16

actually the shoulder is gone, but the rest

00:24:16 --> 00:24:18

is with Allah. So we'll get reward for

00:24:18 --> 00:24:19

the rest. It is not gone, it is

00:24:19 --> 00:24:22

not lost. Right? You'll get the reward from

00:24:22 --> 00:24:24

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And the Al Abbas

00:24:24 --> 00:24:25

say,

00:24:26 --> 00:24:28

You share with the poor and your neighbors,

00:24:28 --> 00:24:30

Muslims and non Muslims.

00:24:30 --> 00:24:32

Because when you do sadaqah, or you give,

00:24:33 --> 00:24:34

something like this, there is nothing wrong. And

00:24:34 --> 00:24:37

there are so many hadith from the Prophet

00:24:37 --> 00:24:39

where he used to send to non Muslims.

00:24:39 --> 00:24:40

And he received

00:24:40 --> 00:24:41

from them, and he used to say, Bismillah

00:24:41 --> 00:24:43

and eat. There is nothing wrong.

00:24:43 --> 00:24:45

The best form of dawah

00:24:45 --> 00:24:48

is kindness to the people. You show them

00:24:48 --> 00:24:50

that we care. LaanhaqumullahuAAamilaveenaalagqa.

00:24:51 --> 00:24:53

The ayah, in Surah Mumtahala,

00:24:54 --> 00:24:57

Surah 60a number 8, Allah does not stop

00:24:57 --> 00:25:00

you or prevent you from dealing kindly and

00:25:00 --> 00:25:02

graciously to the non Muslims who have not

00:25:02 --> 00:25:04

fought you or driven you or abused you

00:25:04 --> 00:25:06

because of your faith. Nothing is wrong.

00:25:07 --> 00:25:09

So I'm gonna conclude with this story,

00:25:09 --> 00:25:11

from Edmonton. I'm not sure if I shared

00:25:11 --> 00:25:13

the story with you, but it's always good

00:25:13 --> 00:25:15

to start with a story and conclude with

00:25:15 --> 00:25:16

a story.

00:25:16 --> 00:25:18

This is the only thing you're gonna remember

00:25:18 --> 00:25:19

from the Khuppa anyway.

00:25:20 --> 00:25:22

So the story was, it's a true story,

00:25:22 --> 00:25:25

back in 2011, I was in Edmonton,

00:25:25 --> 00:25:27

and those of you who have been there,

00:25:27 --> 00:25:29

they know how horrible it is in the

00:25:29 --> 00:25:31

month of Ramadan. It's very hot, humid,

00:25:31 --> 00:25:32

the days are very long.

00:25:33 --> 00:25:33

Right?

00:25:34 --> 00:25:36

In the winter time, it's very extreme, like

00:25:36 --> 00:25:38

30, 40 minuteus. I don't know why people

00:25:38 --> 00:25:40

live there anyway they should all move here

00:25:40 --> 00:25:41

but anyway

00:25:42 --> 00:25:44

so I remember it was 1, Ramadan

00:25:45 --> 00:25:47

and, I was busy giving a talk and

00:25:47 --> 00:25:50

there was a counseling, a lot of counseling

00:25:50 --> 00:25:50

there

00:25:51 --> 00:25:53

So my phone was off for like 4

00:25:53 --> 00:25:54

or 5 hours.

00:25:54 --> 00:25:56

Then when I opened my phone,

00:25:56 --> 00:25:59

I saw like 15 missed call from from

00:25:59 --> 00:26:00

this brother. Right?

00:26:00 --> 00:26:02

I'm not gonna mention the country, they make

00:26:02 --> 00:26:05

very good, chicken sukar, beef sukar. And they

00:26:05 --> 00:26:07

eat their food with, most banana all the

00:26:07 --> 00:26:08

time. Alhamdulillah.

00:26:08 --> 00:26:10

So what happens, he called me like 15

00:26:10 --> 00:26:12

times and I called him back. So he

00:26:12 --> 00:26:15

started calling like 11 in the morning and

00:26:15 --> 00:26:17

the last call was like 4:5

00:26:17 --> 00:26:20

pm. I called him, Mustafa, what happened?

00:26:21 --> 00:26:23

He said, we have, you know, this guy,

00:26:23 --> 00:26:26

non Muslim. He's fixing our basement.

00:26:26 --> 00:26:28

Then we're doing some renovations, or there was

00:26:28 --> 00:26:31

a leak or something, and he's fixing it.

00:26:31 --> 00:26:34

And, yeah, I've been asking for water, but

00:26:34 --> 00:26:36

my mother thinks that he should fast too.

00:26:36 --> 00:26:38

But, he's not Muslim, but he should fast.

00:26:39 --> 00:26:42

And, I was asking to see, what is

00:26:42 --> 00:26:43

the Islamic rule, and should we give him

00:26:43 --> 00:26:44

water or no?

00:26:45 --> 00:26:47

And I said, Yeah, I've been calling for

00:26:47 --> 00:26:49

6, 7 hours to ask if you, Well,

00:26:49 --> 00:26:51

if he's still alive, you can give him

00:26:51 --> 00:26:53

some. It's very hard to lie, it's very,

00:26:53 --> 00:26:54

it's unbelievable

00:26:55 --> 00:26:57

there. Especially in the basement, the heat, and

00:26:57 --> 00:26:58

whatever.

00:26:58 --> 00:27:00

No, it's okay, you can give them, no

00:27:00 --> 00:27:00

problem.

00:27:01 --> 00:27:02

And SubhanAllah,

00:27:02 --> 00:27:04

the first lesson I got in interfaith from

00:27:04 --> 00:27:06

my dad when I was young, I was

00:27:06 --> 00:27:07

very young.

00:27:08 --> 00:27:10

My father was a farmer, Rahimahullah, and, people

00:27:10 --> 00:27:12

used to come and buy stuff from him.

00:27:12 --> 00:27:15

We had buffalos, we had cows, sheep and

00:27:15 --> 00:27:17

horses in our,

00:27:17 --> 00:27:18

in our farm.

00:27:19 --> 00:27:21

So, some non Muslims would come from outside,

00:27:21 --> 00:27:22

Musafir.

00:27:22 --> 00:27:24

They would come to buy something from Meyda,

00:27:24 --> 00:27:26

sometimes it was Ramadan time,

00:27:26 --> 00:27:28

and he would ask my mother to give

00:27:28 --> 00:27:31

them something to eat. No problem. Shai tea.

00:27:31 --> 00:27:32

They would sit in the room, in the

00:27:32 --> 00:27:35

reception, eat, and after we finished, Allah subhanAllah

00:27:35 --> 00:27:38

everyone else is passing. And SubhanAllah, what was

00:27:38 --> 00:27:39

interesting,

00:27:39 --> 00:27:41

when they made the deal to buy the

00:27:41 --> 00:27:43

horse, or the buffalo, or the cow from

00:27:43 --> 00:27:46

my dad, Wallahi, both my dad and the

00:27:46 --> 00:27:49

Christian businessman who was buying the stuff from

00:27:49 --> 00:27:51

him, both read the Fatiha. So the Fatiha

00:27:51 --> 00:27:52

was saying, Alhamdulillah

00:27:56 --> 00:27:58

The whole thing! I saw this with my

00:27:58 --> 00:28:00

own eyes. So again, the best form of

00:28:00 --> 00:28:03

Dawah is to be kind and good to

00:28:03 --> 00:28:05

the people. Yes, we believe in Allah

00:28:06 --> 00:28:07

then we do Dawah, but at the end

00:28:07 --> 00:28:09

of the day, Allah

00:28:09 --> 00:28:11

is the judge, not us. So we ask

00:28:11 --> 00:28:12

Allah

00:28:12 --> 00:28:14

to give us a blessed 10 days of

00:28:14 --> 00:28:16

the month of Al hija, and we ask

00:28:16 --> 00:28:16

Allah

00:28:17 --> 00:28:19

to accept our Ibadah in this time, our

00:28:19 --> 00:28:21

Qurbani, and our fast on the day of

00:28:21 --> 00:28:21

Arafa.

00:28:22 --> 00:28:23

And Hajj for those who have been there

00:28:23 --> 00:28:25

and those who have not been yet. May

00:28:25 --> 00:28:26

Allah

00:28:26 --> 00:28:28

bless them with Hajj, and ask Allah

00:28:28 --> 00:28:30

to give us sincerity in everything we say

00:28:30 --> 00:28:31

and do.

00:28:35 --> 00:28:37

2 things I'm gonna emphasize before we start

00:28:37 --> 00:28:38

this salah.

00:28:38 --> 00:28:40

Number 1, I cannot emphasize,

00:28:41 --> 00:28:43

the need to sign this petition.

00:28:43 --> 00:28:45

If you go to petition 411.ca,

00:28:47 --> 00:28:48

it's,

00:28:50 --> 00:28:52

the Canada here is asking for this petition,

00:28:53 --> 00:28:56

so those who, insult Islam or say something

00:28:56 --> 00:28:58

about Allah or Prophet Muhammad, they'll be, will

00:28:58 --> 00:29:00

be accountable by law.

00:29:00 --> 00:29:02

So, they cannot run away with it just

00:29:02 --> 00:29:04

like every time they do. If they write

00:29:04 --> 00:29:06

something, or they say something, or to be

00:29:07 --> 00:29:08

attacking Islam, or the Prophet

00:29:09 --> 00:29:11

they will be in big trouble. But they

00:29:11 --> 00:29:12

need your signature

00:29:12 --> 00:29:13

to make it a law.

00:29:14 --> 00:29:15

So, we need to do this before the

00:29:15 --> 00:29:16

end of October.

00:29:17 --> 00:29:17

Petition

00:29:18 --> 00:29:18

411.ca.

00:29:19 --> 00:29:21

I want everyone in this masjid, all the

00:29:21 --> 00:29:22

brothers, all the sisters,

00:29:23 --> 00:29:25

the youth who play in their cell phones

00:29:25 --> 00:29:27

in the back, to always go to this

00:29:27 --> 00:29:29

website. InshaAllah, sign the petition. I did it

00:29:29 --> 00:29:31

a few months ago, sorry, 2, 3 weeks

00:29:31 --> 00:29:33

ago. It takes less than 1 minute.

00:29:34 --> 00:29:35

But this will take us to the next

00:29:35 --> 00:29:38

level. It will give us Izzah and dignity

00:29:38 --> 00:29:40

in this country. Not anyone can come and

00:29:40 --> 00:29:42

insult you, and go out, you know, run

00:29:42 --> 00:29:42

away with

00:29:43 --> 00:29:44

it. So we need to stand together,

00:29:45 --> 00:29:48

just like other groups: the Chinese, the Italians,

00:29:48 --> 00:29:50

the Jews, and so on and so forth,

00:29:50 --> 00:29:51

they work together, there are laws.

00:29:52 --> 00:29:54

So, if you say, if someone says something

00:29:54 --> 00:29:57

about the Holocaust, if someone says something about

00:29:57 --> 00:29:58

the Jews, if someone says something about other

00:29:58 --> 00:30:00

groups, they will be in big trouble.

00:30:00 --> 00:30:03

But us, we are a fair game. Everyone

00:30:03 --> 00:30:05

can say whatever they want, everyone can do

00:30:05 --> 00:30:07

whatever they want, but if we sign the

00:30:07 --> 00:30:08

petition, if we give 100,000

00:30:09 --> 00:30:10

signatures,

00:30:10 --> 00:30:12

now we have about 30,000,

00:30:13 --> 00:30:15

and we have about 2, about 3 weeks

00:30:15 --> 00:30:16

to go, or 4 weeks to go. So

00:30:16 --> 00:30:18

this needs to be signed.

00:30:18 --> 00:30:21

If someone says something against Islam, or insults

00:30:21 --> 00:30:23

Islam, or Prophet Muhammad or the Quran, it

00:30:23 --> 00:30:26

would be a hate crime. They will suffer

00:30:26 --> 00:30:26

the consequences

00:30:27 --> 00:30:29

by law. So we need to lose this,

00:30:29 --> 00:30:29

inshaAllah.

00:30:30 --> 00:30:32

Petition, 4 11.

00:30:32 --> 00:30:34

Ca. And the last thing, inshaAllah, make sure

00:30:34 --> 00:30:37

inshaAllah you contribute to your Korbani sponsor Korbani

00:30:37 --> 00:30:38

through a masjid. It's

00:30:39 --> 00:30:40

$150. You can talk to brother Abdullah Abdullah

00:30:40 --> 00:30:41

salamatul salam.
