The Congressional General General General Hall is a wake up call for those who missed it, with shades and the sun being important themes for those who want to join the American passport holders. The "harvest of the beast" concept is also discussed, where acceptance is crucial for those who want to go to the holy place. Visitors are encouraged to think of the positive side of their actions, such as being grateful for things they have already achieved and being grateful for the blessings they have found in their lives. Visitors are also encouraged to work on their church or take advantage of a airplane ticket.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			Some of the suffering of the Ummah of
		
00:00:01 --> 00:00:03
			Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala have mercy on
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08
			all of the shuhada and hajj. May Allah
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			allow us to be joined with them in
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13
			the shuhada of Gaza, Allahum Amin.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			SubhanAllah, this was
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			the first time that I got to go
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			back to Hajj in 5 years. And I
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			know for some of you, it sounds like,
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			what are you complaining about? What are you
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			whining about? And truly it was a wake
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			up call. I think these last few years,
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			for myself in particular,
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			I wanna start from that frame that,
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:36
			you know, Allah had blessed me to go
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			to Hajj on an annual basis for a
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			very long time as a guide.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			And so it was almost something I took
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			for granted
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			for an entire decade,
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47
			that every year, I'll get to take people
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			to Hajj
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51
			and I'll have that opportunity to go.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			And I recognize that that is a luxury
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			that belongs to 0.0001%,
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			and I'm grateful to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:02
			for all of those years that I had.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			And then COVID hit and obviously,
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			you know, kinda itching for that opportunity to
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			go back. And since then, in this new
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			system, looking for
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			this moment,
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:14
			to go back.
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			The last time
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			I did hajj was in the wake of
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			the Christchurch massacre in New Zealand, and we
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			had some of the families of the shahada
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			from Christchurch there. And it was an extremely
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:26
			special
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			Hajj where it reigned in Arafah. And anyone
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			who went to Hajj in 2019 spoke about
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			sort of the beauty and the power of
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:34
			it
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:36
			and the mercy of Allah
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			descending.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			This year,
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			subhanAllah, the whole theme sort of in the
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			background was Gaza
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			and Rafah and reminding people
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			that you are the delegation, as
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			the prophet mentioned, you are the waft, the
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			delegation of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			as you come here for Hajj, meaning you
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			are delegates from the ummah.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:02
			And there's so much riding on your dua,
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			so much riding on your presence in this
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			blessed place,
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			and so much that is happening in the
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			background.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:09
			And, subhanAllah,
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			as
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			we're going through it,
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:15
			I think many of you have been reading
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16
			about the heat
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			and how hot it was.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			And there's something, subhanAllah, to be said about
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:24
			hearing about what a 125
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			degrees feels like
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			and then being in the middle of it.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			And I can tell you that
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			as young people that were doing Hajj, relatively
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35
			young, because you have to keep in mind
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36
			that the majority of the ummah
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40
			that comes for Hajj are very old people,
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			young
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			people relative
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			to the the rest doing Hajj
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			with all the amenities of, you know, the
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			tents and the AC in the tents and
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			the hotels and
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			somewhat of a level of reliability uncertainty.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			It was hard for us,
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			very hard for us.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			And I would look at people that are
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:06
			in their eighties, sometimes even in their nineties,
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			getting through this, and I'm thinking it's a
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			miracle from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that people
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			are able to power through this in this
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			weather. Truly, like it's an ayah from Allah
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14
			subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			because there are days in Hajj that you're
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:16
			walking
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			15 to 20 miles. You know, when you're
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			talking about the monastic of Hajj, especially if
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			you do everything between 9th 10th,
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			if you do tawaf and ifalda and sa'ih
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			on 10th day,
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:31
			there are days that you actually will walk,
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34
			like, 20 miles. Right? And that's something that's
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			very significant
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			for anybody. Imagine the elders as they're going
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:40
			through this process.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			But you can't stop but thinking about the
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			idea of Yamur Qiyamah
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49
			and that idea of the shade of Allah
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So there was a theme
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			that I kept on thinking about.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			How precious is your shade?
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57
			How much would you pay to be shaded
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:00
			on that day? Like, a working AC
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			and shade
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:03
			on that day
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			and something to nourish you
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08
			is more precious than everything in the entire
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			world. That's all you're thinking about is, how
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			do I get some shade from the sun
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			and how do I get some some coolness?
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18
			And you think about Yom Al Qiyamah, the
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:19
			day of judgment,
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22
			when the sun is right above us.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25
			I think that's a concept that we can't
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			grasp because it truly is otherworldly.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			The sun is right above you.
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			And I kept on reflecting on this hadith
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			of the Prophet where he said the shade
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			of the believer is what? What's your shade
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			on the day of judgment?
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			What's your shade?
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			The shade of the believer is his sadaqa,
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			it's his charity.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46
			That's the premium that you pay
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47
			for that day.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			Right? So there are the 7 that are
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:51
			shaded by Allah
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:52
			on that day,
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			the 7 categories of people. May Allah include
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			us in that category,
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			And then there is the shade of the
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			believer, which is his sadaqa. It's literally you
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:03
			know, you think about what you pay to
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:04
			go to Hajj
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			and the tents that you get and the
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09
			accommodations and stuff like that, your premium,
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:12
			right, the sadaqa that you put forward is
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:14
			your shade on the day of judgment. The
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:16
			shade of the believer, the prophet said, on
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			the day of judgment is the extent of
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:18
			your sadaqa.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			And think about how much you're gonna want
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			that shade on the day of judgment.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			And here you are now, and, you know,
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			just like you have people that saved their
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30
			entire lives to go to Hajj,
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:34
			you save your entire life by giving for
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			the sake of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala for
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:38
			the true gathering, which is the gathering on
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			the day of gathering, in the place of
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			gathering,
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			on a day when there is no shade
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:44
			except for the shade that Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			Ta'ala provides.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:46
			And it's significant
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			because you can be investing in that right
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			now. So thinking about that sadaqah, thinking about
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			the categories of righteousness,
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			nowadays, things are very superficial.
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57
			What made you an American
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			passport holder or someone that has the ability,
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03
			the luxury to be included in this group
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:05
			of people that get to be here?
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:08
			What made you belong to a country where
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			even if you pay the highest VIP price,
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			because you belong to this country that's not
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			a western country, you're gonna be this distance
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:15
			away from the Jamarats.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			Right? You're gonna be this far away.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:21
			On the day of judgment, the categories are
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			the just ruler,
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			are those who loved each other for the
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			sake of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala, Are those
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			young people who grew up in in in
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:29
			the worship of Allah
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			Are those people who feared Allah in difficult
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34
			situations? Are those people who shed tears in
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			private when no one was watching them? Are
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			those people who gave charity
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			with their right hand in such a way
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			that their left hand did not even know?
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42
			They're the VIPs on that day.
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			And
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			the swaths of poor people
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			that are kinda left out,
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			because I think the reality that that kinda
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53
			dawns upon you when you're there is that
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			the majority of people in Mina actually don't
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			have tents.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57
			They're kinda just out there.
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			Those swaths of poor people will be at
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:02
			the front of the gates of Jannah, as
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:02
			the prophet
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:04
			mentioned on the day of judgment, that the
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			first people to enter into Jannah are the
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			fuqara and the most double afeen,
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			the weak and the downtrodden of this Umrah.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12
			So there's a different dimension as you're sort
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:13
			of thinking about
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			everything that's happening in that type of heat
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			and what that represents in these days.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			And then I'll share with you, subhanAllah,
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:24
			just that idea of Ghazah. You know, it
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			was very common
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			this year to, again, just call people's attention
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			when you're in the difficulty
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			that you're in. Think of the people of
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			Gaza. Think of the people of Gaza. Think
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:35
			of the people of Gaza.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:36
			Our
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:37
			tents
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:39
			in Mina I'm talking about if you took
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			the worst tents in Mina. Any of you
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			have been to Hajj? The worst tense in
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44
			Mina
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			would be the best tents in Gaza right
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48
			now, would be the best tents for the
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			Syrian refugees right now. And you could take
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			any refugee camp in the world, and if
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:54
			you were able to implement that structure
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			in any part of the world where you
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:59
			have a plethora of refugee camps, we're not
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01
			even talking about the drones above you, the
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			air strikes, the constant moving around,
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:05
			the scarcity of food and drink, none of
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:07
			that. But that tent structure
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			would be the luxury of a refugee camp
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:10
			in the world today.
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:12
			And you kind of reflect on that and
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			you say, You, Allah,
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			this is nirama.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:18
			This is nirama.
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:20
			This in and of itself is a blessing.
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			And it's the perspective that counts.
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:25
			SubhanAllah, you could take 2 people from Hajj,
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:27
			and
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30
			one who had the most luxurious accommodations in
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			Hajj and someone who had the worst accommodation
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:35
			of Hajj, and ask them, how was your
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:35
			Hajj?
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:38
			And you could find someone who had the
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			most difficult circumstances, they would say, alhamdulillah,
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			it was amazing. We got through it. Allah
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala made a way out. You
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			can take 2 people in the same tent,
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			same package, same circumstances,
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			and ask them about their conditions, and they'll
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			have opposite answers.
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:53
			Why?
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56
			Because it goes back to this,
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			and this goes back to this.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:01
			Your eyes, your heart, your eyes, your heart.
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:05
			If you are grateful,
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			I will increase you.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			I can tell you somehow, there's one *
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			that was with me.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			And he said, you know, how crazy is
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:15
			it that so many of these people don't
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:18
			even know what electrolyte drinks are?
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:20
			You know, us Americans, you know, we got
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:23
			our fancy liquid IV and electrolyte and hydration
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			drinks. We got our whole regimens and powders
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			that we're putting in in the water.
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			And, like, most of these people have no
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30
			idea what that stuff is.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:34
			Like, if you just took one nirmah and
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:36
			you thanked Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala for it,
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			then that in and of itself is enough
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:41
			to completely reframe your perspective of life.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			And just like you can take for granted
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			the many blessings that are there in Hajj,
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:48
			you can do that in life as well.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:50
			The small things, the small things, the small
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			things in this journey that we have with
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:55
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And And with that
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:55
			being
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:57
			said, the ummah,
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			you know, I can tell you that the
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:01
			beating heart of this ummah is still raza.
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:04
			The beating heart of this ummah is Palestine.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:07
			You know, when you look around and you
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:08
			see the people crying,
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			and you know how many people are making
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			dua for Palestine, how many people are making
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:13
			dua for Ghazal? We ask Allah Subhana Wa
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:15
			Ta'la to accept it. I mean,
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19
			there were many people actually from Palestine that
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			were in Hajj this year. Brother Wa'l adhdur
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			from Gaza was actually in Hajj this year
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:25
			with hamdulillahrubba. I mean, but there's tight protocols
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:26
			around him,
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:29
			while he was there. But you can imagine,
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:29
			you know,
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:33
			someone like that who's lost everything, who actually
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:34
			came from Gaza,
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:35
			and who's now walking
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:37
			in Hajj.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:39
			And I was, you know, I was just
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			thinking to myself, like, imagine if someone walked
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42
			up to him and started complaining about the
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			accommodations in Hetch.
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			Can you imagine? Like, that conversation?
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:49
			How's Hajj? Oh, man. The buses are never
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:51
			on time. The hotel rooms are not ready.
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			You know, this is happening and this is
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:56
			happening. Like, can you imagine what he would
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:58
			say back to you? Like, I lost everybody
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			in my family in Gaza.
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:02
			We moved from place to place under bombs
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03
			and bullets.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:05
			We never complained about Allah
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:08
			And here you are complaining that your bus
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:10
			is 2 hours late, that you had to
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:13
			walk a little bit extra. That's the reality.
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			That's who we are. Right? When we become
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			accustomed, we become entitled. And when we become
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:20
			entitled, we become subjected to our nafs, to
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:20
			our ego.
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			And that becomes our God whether we pay
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24
			attention or we don't.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:26
			But a person who says, Alhamdulillah,
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			everything Allah provided for me is blessed.
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31
			As someone who's in a good state with
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:31
			Allah
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:34
			So we ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			accept. We ask Allah to accept all the
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:39
			duas that people made for themselves and all
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40
			of the du'as that they made for the
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:42
			ummah. We ask Allah to accept all of
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44
			the du'a for
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			our brothers and sisters in Palestine and all
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:47
			of our du'as here,
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49
			for the community here in VRIC.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:52
			We ask Allah to accept Sheikh Yasir's Hajj
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			first I was so happy for him, like,
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			truly, truly, truly from the depths of my
		
00:11:58 --> 00:11:58
			heart.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:00
			It was it was it was surreal seeing
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:03
			Sheikh Yasir and Hajj, hamdullil nirbrah mean. You
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:04
			know, I know he longed for it for
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			2 decades, what hamdullil nirbrah means, so we
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			asked Allah Subha Nahuwa Ta'ala to accept his
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:08
			Hajj.
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			And all of the Hujjaj who came and
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12
			the intentions of those who wanted to go
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:14
			to Hajj but weren't able to go to
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			Hajj. May Allah accept their Hajj as well.
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17
			And may Allah gather us in that blessed
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:18
			place
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:19
			and in all
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:22
			of the 3 holy places, may he gather
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:24
			us for an accepted salah. And may he
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:25
			gather us on the day of judgment with
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27
			our Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:34
			No?
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37
			I will have some kind of a class
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:39
			on Tuesday between Maghrib and Ishaa InshaAllah. I'm
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:41
			not sure if we're gonna be restarting the
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			first or we'll do another lecture. So but
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:45
			Tuesday night, InshaAllah, I'll have class between
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47
			Maghrib and Isha, inshallah.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			Most likely restarting the first in the nighttime.
