00:00:02 --> 00:00:04
			And, may Allah make it an accepted Hajj
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:05
			for all of us.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			The easiest thing for me to do actually
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:15
			to share
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			an incident that just happens.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			1 of the things that
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			we're learning in the moment is that when
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:22
			it comes to the
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			and the lessons we learned from the prophet,
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			we don't just have to back project to
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			the companions of the prophet.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			Sometimes you see those living lessons in front
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			of you. The
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			people of Gaza have given us that now,
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			over the last 8 months.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			But I just got back. 1 of 1
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			of the members who is with us, doctor
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			Ahmed, was saying that,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			he had to actually give someone their shahadah
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			as they breathe their last right now after
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			they finished their tawaf and qaba.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			And he was sharing the story, subhanallah, and
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			if it was really moving,
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			the hajji was from Palestine,
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			and he passed out
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			right after
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			still
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			in his. And,
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			the the ambulance took an hour to come.
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			By the time the ambulance came, he had
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			already passed away.
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			So the man's last moments
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			were looking at the Kaaba saying that, after
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			doctor Ahmed, as he breathed his last.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			And we just pray Janaz on him
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			right now because this happened,
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			this morning.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:27
			If you were to talk to this man
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			and say to him, you know, hey, The
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			bus is gonna be 2 hours late.
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			Hey. You don't have a hotel room for
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			the next 5 days. Hey. You know, some
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			of these logistical things that we have to
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			kinda get used to and adjusted to here
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:38
			in Hajj,
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			then maybe we get annoyed.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			But someone told you that, by the way,
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			the angel of death is going to arrive
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			within 20 minutes.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			Logistical announcement.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:50
			How would you react?
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			And just to remind everyone, I know this
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			is close to Sheikh Jarrah as well. May
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			Allah have mercy
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			on Yahshid and accept him as a martyr
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			and accept all of the and
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			everyone else on behalf of his brother Yahshid.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			This is an exercise of death.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			This is an exercise of death. And that's
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			not to depress you. That's to actually say,
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			Alhamdulillah, Allah brought you to the best place
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			to
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			enact that process so that you can connect
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			to him and have purpose in your life.
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			And there is no such thing as injecting
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			purpose into your life without
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			understanding the imminence of death. And so
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			it's something I just heard now, and it's
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			the first thing that comes to mind within
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27
			2 minutes that as you're doing your and
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			you're thinking logistical, logistical, logistical,
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			there's a logistical announcement that Medica notes
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:34
			is on his way to any 1 of
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			us at any given time, and we don't
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			know when. So while you're waiting for a
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			train, or you're waiting for a bus, or
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			you're waiting for this, or you're waiting for
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			that,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			realize that we are all waiting for something
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			else, and that that is indeed what should
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:46
			be
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:49
			what guides our thoughts, guides our practices
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			in this blessed moment of Hajj. So may
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			Allah accept
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			our and may Allah
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			grant us as well as shahada.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			Grant us the reward of it, and Allah
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:01
			grant us an accepted Hajj. Ask Allah subhanahu
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			wa ta'ala to bless all of you and
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			to accept every dua dua'at that you made
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			in Arafah for yourself and for your family,
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			for your friends, and for your ummah.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10
			And ask Allah to grant us all the
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			best of this life and the next to
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			protect us from the
