I bear witness that there's none worthy of
our worship except Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And
I bear witness that Muhammad Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
is the seal of the prophets and the
final messenger
to all of humanity.
Whomever Allah guides, there is none to misguide.
And whomever Allah
leaves to go astray,
there is none to guide.
So a lot of brothers and sisters have
left Edmonton this week.
So they can go for the Hajj to
Mecca.
And we ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala that
he will accept from them, and they will
return safely safely to us back.
And that
Allah
will make it easy for us to make
Hajj in the future, inshallah.
So the prophet
said that the first 10 days
of the month of the Khidr, which will
start on Wednesday, are very special times.
So it is recommended that you offer the
fast in these days,
at least the day before the day of
Eid, which is the day of Rafah.
Make the intention to make if you can,
and those who are able to make for
Hajj, InshaAllah, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will accept.
So the first version of the Hajj will
give a few of them.
The first one of them is Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala will forgive all your sins, the
past ones,
and you will come from the Hajj
sin free just like the day you were
born.
And this was in the Kadeem, this ayat
was Amr ibn Aas, who who had followed
Islam for so many years,
came to the prophet to pay allegiance and
to take shahad, accept Islam.
So the prophet
welcomed him, and he said, okay, stretch your
hands so I'll give you shahad.
So he stretched his hand. Then when the
prophet was about to give him shahad, and
he took he drew back his hand. So
the prophet said, What does it matter? Why
you drew your your hand back? So he
said, I have a condition.
So the prophet, salaam, said, okay. What is
your condition? He said, my condition is that
Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, will forgive all my
past sins. I was done a new sheep
with Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So the prophet,
Salaam, said, oh, Abu,
don't you know that when you take shahada,
all your past sins are forgiven?
Don't you know that when you make Hajj,
all your past sins are forgiven till the
end of the Hadith? And this is also
supported
by another Hadith in Bukhary, and Muslim, the
prophet said, whoever done
So also the second version of the has
is the great rewards
that you get and gain from making the
Hajj.
We'll give just one Hadid to explain.
And this Hadid authentic one, the
prophet, salam, says to Abdullah, and Umar, may
be may Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, be pleased
with him and his father.
So the prophet, salam, said to Abdullah, Umar,
when you embark on the Hajj, when you
leave your house and go toward Mecca for
the Hajj, every step you take
toward Mecca, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will give
you a good deed, and he will remove
one of your sins for every step you
take. Now, if you lift it 1,000 miles
away from,
now you see how many hasanat you gain
and how many say are forgiven for you.
A lot.
Then the prophet said, and when you stand
on the mountain of and
Allah will
look at you
and he is proud of you in front
of the angels and Allah
will descend to the heavenly to the heavens
and will tell his angels, look at my
servants. They they came to me from my
all directions.
They are seeking my forgiveness, and they want
me to give them kasanat.
If their sins
are as many as the sand of this
earth And as the rains that comes down
from the heavens,
then I will forgive
them. So Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala will forgive
all the sins. Then Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
says, the prophet and
when you circle the Kaaba, as
Number 3,
when you do the Hajj, now your Islam
is complete
because as we know that Islam is built
on 5 pillars, Shahadah, salah, zakat, and fasting
and Hajj. For those who are able to
make the Hajj, they can afford it. They
have to do it. But those who can't,
then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala does not entitle
anyone to do things beyond their means. You
will get the reward if you have the
intention, inshallah.
So number 4, Hajj is a rehearsal for
the day of Jannah. It reminds you of
death and resurrection.
Now, before you start the Hajj, you take
a shower just like the we give to
the dead people.
You come in very simple plain
pieces of white cloth
just like the cap on the shroud for
the people.
You stand in front of the Allah Subhana
by all the people at the same time
just like when they come out of the
graves before the day of judgement. So you
should always keep this in your mind that
this is one example of the Hash, the
resurrection.
All people are the same on that day.
In simple clothes,
the rich and the poor,
the doctor and the garbage collector, they all
look the same before Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
They recite the same Quran. They say the
same Takbeer and the same Tabiya. They space
the same Tabla.
First one is the obligatory Hajj.
If you are physically and financially
able to make Hajj, now it becomes an
obligation on you. So this is the first
one.
Let them do Hajj as soon as possible.
Why?
Because those who are are healthy might fall
sick
and those who are rich might become poor.
So whatever you are, you can afford Hajj
go right away and don't don't delay. And
this is the human nature. We always say,
okay, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day
after, then you fall sick, you lose your
money, you get fired, or you die.
So if you have the intention, do it
right away.
So the second type of Hajj
is you did Hajj before. Okay? So you
did the obligation,
but now we're talking about the 2nd, 3rd,
5th, and 10th Hajj. In this case, you
have the option of making Hajj again. It
is not an obligation,
or you can use this money. And this
is what his scholars recommend
to help poor Muslims,
the orphans and the needy.
Like this year, for example, through life,
you can go to the office after the
and talk to them that you wanna sponsor
an for the people of Syria, for example.
Or you can sponsor the poor, and the
orphans, and the needy.
Or you can sponsor pamphlets.
And last Friday, when we start opening the
door for donations for the pamphlet, Alhamdulillah, the
first day, we got sponsorships
for a 150,000,
1000 pamphlets that same day.
2 days ago, my brother came to me
after salatulas,
and he said, I wanna sponsor some pamphlets.
So I was expecting him to give me,
you know,
some a few a few dollars to sponsor
some pamphlets,
but he gave me enough money to sponsor
a 100,000
Paphilus, Alhamdulillah. A 100,000 Paphilus.
And Alhamdulillah, our community is very generous.
Now, we stopped at 260
1,000,000,
and we want to reach our target of
1,000,000,000 to
be delivered to all the homes in Alberta.
Not only Edmonton, but we need to teach
all the people of Alberta about Islam and
about the messenger of the prophet, and this
is the source of doubt.
So he said, I used to do Hajj
every single year. So he did it like
20 times before. So one year he was
on the way to make Hajj and the
people were traveling with him. He said, I
looked and I saw this lady standing by
the dumpster,
and she had a dead chicken in her
hand, and she was plucking all the wet
feathers. So I went to the lady and
said, why why are you doing this?
So she said, mind your business. Okay? Don't
talk to me.
So I said, okay. What's with the aptitude?
He said, I swear by Allah that you
should tell me your story. She said, since
you swear by Allah, I'm gonna tell you
the story.
I haven't eaten any food with my these
orphans for 3 days, and I'm a widow.
And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has made has
made it permissible for me in this condition,
in this state
to eat the dead animals.
So he said, when she said this,
you know, my heart started shaking and I
started to cry. And I said, listen, sister,
this is not permissible for you. Take these
500 golden pieces, 500 dinars, and feed your
children.
And he said, I'll go home this year.
I'm not going to do the Hajj. He
said, I stayed in the house making salah,
making dish.
And
when the people came back from the Hajj,
I went to their moms to congratulate them
with the Hajj and everything.
And they told they they told me, masha
Allah, brother,
whatever we met this year in the Hajj,
you were always with us. We went to
Madinah to visit the prophet, he worked with
us. We went to the mountain of Haifa,
he worked with us. And he said, what
are you talking about? I never left my
house.
So he said, that day I went to
my house and I fell asleep, and in
that in my sleep, I had a vision.
And I heard someone say in that vision,
you have the love.
You remove the hardship and the difficulty from
this widow and your orphans. So Allah, Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala, sent an angel
who looked like you to make the Hajj
on your behalf.
So
be joyous that Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, has
written for you the Hajj without even leaving
your house.
