Riyadh Walls – Jumuah 17 August 201914401

in Cape Town, and it became the prime a book to teach people they

fit. And to teach them they Aqeedah the key that we are still

on today.

People had an opportunity to learn, they had an opportunity to

grow. They were part of a community, but they found a space

within that community where they could determine their own future.

Where they weren't linked. Their future wasn't linked to the future

of what the Dutch wanted, or what the English wanted. It was what

they want.

And they wanted to connect themselves and the people that

came into contact with to Allah subhanho wa taala. That is what

they wanted.

And they survived in that regard. It was also in that madrasa. They

endorsed it, that the that the first books were written in about

Islam, in the Afrikaans, Arabic, the mullah you, Arabic dialect,

those books were written, it is in some of the museums around Cape

Town, go there, and go research our legacy and show your children

about our legacy.

This is what happened here. It was the inside of some keyfinder club

that after a few years, when a father died, a mother. The wool

that he left was that the property was going to his wife, three.

And then train decided she was going to sell the property off to

Sarah to her daughter saraki find the cup after they bought the

property. It was then Sarki find the cost prerogative. And then

also that's corresponded with a British taking over in about 7095

where they decided that they're going to take this warehouse now

and it is going to officially become a masjid. And she is

dedicating this as a masjid as a place of worship for the

worshipping of Allah subhanho wa Taala for as long as there is

Muslims in the City of Cape Town or in the Cape of Good.

They built a mumble and it was converted from madrasa it was

converted to Masjid and it became the first Masjid in South Africa

Subhanallah the people from eight and a half when I was there, they

told me Maulana yella Donkey Lady yes the masjid or is it intellect

it yes, the Masjid. But it's just a matter of registration of

papers. They know they know it's just a matter of registration of

when papers were registered. The oldest masjid and the first

masjid, in woke up in dope street. So behind Allah, Muhammad find Ben

garland took over the spiritual reins from Tuan guru and he became

the Imam. He was much more than an imam that was giving names beating

the dead and getting people married. He became a spokesperson

for the Muslim community,

a spokesperson within Muslim community with regard to their

needs, and with regard to their own aims and objectives that they

had in terms of self determination. He was involved in

in the signing over of the Santa Barbara area, that's a completely

different story they, but he was involved in in facilitating that

process.

So the Muslims, they managed the Muslims through Islam, they

managed in difficult, difficult circumstances, to assert

themselves as a community who is going to determine their own

destiny. And this is the nature of Islam. The nature of Islam is such

that if you submit yourself to Allah subhanho wa Taala then Allah

subhanaw taala opens up a way for you. Despite if you find yourself

in the midst of tyranny, in the midst of oppression

and Alhamdulillah Muslims, despite the circumstances flourished, this

may be a strong word, so we won't say flourished. We will say they

thrived. They thrived. wherever they went. They made an impact on

the societies. They moved to Constantia they move to Kobe, they

were incitements down in Klamath, they were out in strand they were

out in PE them at NASA that areas, they moved and wherever they went,

they built a masjid in Stellenbosch. They go you go there

you see the massage. You see how old these massages are. See the

communities that establish that masjid, it's not monuments, it was

a real centers hubs of our community, our people.

The Sankey fund the club is our people. The screen fund the

carpets, our people, the skeleton of Salon, it's our people. The

storm guru, it is our people. This Tang said it's our people, the

strong use of it our people.

It's, it's us.

This is our legacy. And this is how we are connected to the deen

of Allah

subhanaw taala because of the because of the far sightedness of

these individuals Subhanallah

and the importance of us connecting with his legacy,

there's many stories that can be told. The purpose of today's Juma

is that in our arsenal, in our arsenal, in terms or in our

defense that we have on our side of what is happening in our

community, we have very little, but I'm proposing today in this

Juma that we recognize that our legacy is one of the things that

we have in our arsenal, to be able to defend ourselves against

whatever is happening in this country. Now.

I want to posit that it is because people have been detached from

this legacy. Because our community, the wider community,

the Cape Town, so called colored community has been ripped away

from who they are, where they come from, what contributions that they

have made, that there are people who are now in struggle,

that there are people who are now in struggle, and it is by design,

because of the years of thriving, that the people who were thriving

the Muslims who were thriving, they were kicked out of the areas,

they were kicked out of Constantia they were kicked out of

Simonstown, they were kicked out of these areas. And if you had a

certain bit of wealth or a certain income bracket, you were moved to

an to to an area that wasn't too far from the southern suburbs. And

if your income was of a lower income bracket, you will move a

little bit further on, and they built ghettos. And you don't just

build housing and it turns into a ghetto, you build the ghetto.

That is how you get to wise people, you build the ghetto, you

build small houses, you build confined spaces, you allow people

not to have the ability to think or play or move, you put them all

on one. And then things happen. And then you introduce alcohol.

And you introduce vise. And in that way you maintain your control

because now slavery is a thing of the past. So you need new ways to

assert your control. And today, unfortunately, we are still

feeling the effects. We are still feeling the effects. But

alhamdulillah also today, we are seeing that the Muslims

Alhamdulillah Islam had saved so many of us. So many individuals

were saved. So much of our community was saved, and they were

saved because of the Masjid. They were saved because of this

knowledge

of going and learning the Arabic of learning the recitation of

learning the fit these things that people are now saying, Go Plus why

you want to teach, teach your children and things that is going

to make them understand, connect the children to what to thirsty to

what they need to be connected, they need to know where they come

from, they need to know the community, they need to know they

come from a hardworking, dedicated people

Subhanallah

and if we can do this as a community this is not the work of

the Imams. This is not the work of the Imams and leadership alone.

This is the work of every father in his household of every parent

in their household, it is to tell the children where we come from.

The problem is manifest in different ways depending on the

social causes that we that we are living in. On the cape flats, the

problems come come out in the form of gangsterism it comes out in the

form of drugs, and we are living with this device. In the higher

classes in our communities. It comes out in the form of of

students being at university and suffering from identity crisis,

not knowing whether they are he or she students wanting the ability

to to make up their own mind whether there is a God or whether

there is not a God, wanting the freedom to wanting the freedom to

be able to decide whether they want to worship or not to worship

Subhan Allah.

So the problem manifests in different ways because of the

different social classes, but the solution is the same. The solution

is to Masek vikita Billa let us hold firm to the book of Allah

subhanho wa Taala because that is what got us where we are right

now. Alhamdulillah we could have been in a better society, but

let's not not meet may not be of those who complain. It may rather

be of those who are saying that Al Hamdulillah we have Islamic

schools. We have organization MPOs where people feeding the poor. We

have people looking after the orphans. We have massage is being

built. We have a community that is working to uplift themselves. We

can do more. We have a community that does

hamdulillah they are starting to thrive. So much so that banks and

everyone is coming in on the consumerism, the offering us

products, halal insurance, Islamic finance, car finance, Islamic

alcohol finance, everyone is in on the game now, because suddenly

they realize this Muslims, they are actually a group in this, they

are a part of this community, but they have managed to be apart

also. And they have managed to grow on their own. So we need to

accommodate them.

We need to speak about this, we need to articulate this and this

is what this Joomla is about. It is about especially I spoke to the

young students today, I told them, This is more or less what I want

to speak about in my Joomla. Today, I spoke to three senior

classes. And I asked the young men, I asked him what do you think

of this topic? They told me please talk about this year.

Please, our youth they are calling out to want to be connected to

they want to understand who they are. They want to understand who

their family is. And it has not fallen into the trap of going into

camps with regard to families, one family being better than another

family being better than another family being better. It does not

fall into that because that is from the tricks of a yarmulke

Helia that is from the tricks of Shaitan to say that yes, we are

community. But some people in this community are better than other

people in this community. Because of the families that they are

attached to. It does not fall into that trap. We are all in the same

boat here. We are all in the same boat. And the same, the same thing

saved us and that is holding on to the book of Allah subhanho wa

Taala this goodbye can go on because we have a tremendous we

have a wonderful legacy. But if you walk away today, feeling proud

of that legacy, acknowledging our forefathers that did work, real

work and trying circumstances to connect us to the Sunnah of

Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to connect us to the Quran.

I don't even want to start talking about our Allah ma that came here

and it was teaching people to become Hatfield. That is a story

all on his own. People coming here with sonnet

You see, she excited by the Indian

people coming in knowing how to read the Quran, connected in the

rewired of the Quran was changed that lead that links him to the

Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and then teaching the

people here in the cape teaching them that Quran. And in that way,

we become physically connected with physical chains that lead us

link us to the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in

terms of our Quran. What a namah, Allah subhanaw taala had bestowed

on this community, we thank Allah subhana wa taala. And we

acknowledge Allah subhanho wa Taala His blessings on this

community. Because someone, sometimes we're going to complain

mode, and we just see negativity all around us. But we don't know.

There was a time when there was even greater negativity than this.

And the Muslims somehow by holding on to the Quran and the Sunnah,

they managed to navigate through, we're not saying that there wasn't

bad times, we're not saying that there wasn't naughty boys and

naughty people and things happening on the side. We know

that stories, we're not here to talk about that today.

We're here to talk about the result today, that this Masjid is

full for Joomla and every other Masjid in Cape Town, that the men

are coming and they're performing the Joomla. You can go to the

Middle East, and you can find Mudgett awful sometimes, because

people are not coming to Joomla.

So this is a number of Allah subhanho wa Taala we make dua that

Allah subhanaw taala must make us realize that we are the community

of now. And this is now our time. And it's our opportunity to take

this community to the next level, we are not going to do it by

abandoning what the people have done in the past, we have to hold

on to what they have done. But what we need to do is we need to

develop that thinking, we need to do more. And we need to be

creative about this.

And over. And most importantly, we need to connect our children to

this, don't let them get lost. Don't let them suffer from an

identity crisis. Don't let them believe if they do the acts of the

other people of another community, then there are real people, the

only they believe if they put some weight on their skin, they're

going to feel better about themselves. If they cut their hair

in a certain way, they're going to feel better about themselves. If

they listen to certain type of music, they're going to feel

better about themselves. Don't make them understand that if they

hold on any they treasure what they have in this community, which

is an educated community, a community that is fearful of Allah

subhanho wa Taala a community that is not afraid of advancement, a

community that is not afraid of education, then they will be on

the right path inshallah. And this is the message that and our

responsibility to
