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
