we say JazakAllah once again, Allah sanitary water offers one of
the four Oh Gary and Manjula mushroom islands, plus $1 Reward
him abundantly for the beautiful recitation that we are so blessed
to listen to every night.
In this Mobarak month of Ramadan,
we have arrived at a verse
at
if it was a religion on its own, everybody in the world is already
in a believer.
If it was a religion, the statement The first statement in
this verse,
Then everybody on Earth is already a believer.
And that is cool enough seen the cartoon not
every soul shall taste the death
to the degree that Allah subhanaw taala calls it in the Quran
Eliakim
the certainty
because it is the only thing that a human being is 100% Certain
is going to take place in their lives after they leave the wombs
of the mothers. The only thing is this
Wallahi none of us are even certain they begin to make it out
of this Masjid tonight or they begin to make it home tonight
Allah subhanaw taala grant us all to make it home safely. Allah
grant us to see the whole of Ramadan to see Peter and each
other ha and grant us a long life in His obedience. I mean you're on
an island but that's the reality
that's the only certainty is death.
And yet, when you compare
how we prepare for so many things in life
the example I like to make especially for Cape Town
is how we prepare for Hajj
you know we first thing we do we have cards printed can nowadays
cards in the old days that people used to go from house to house.
Now they just send a whatsapp
but in the old days
salam Wa alaykum Allah Farhan Danis Osmo Shafi Nadia GooglePlay
Tula is great
you know Masha Allah will Shafi without discovered actually Musa
fear, but that's fine, that's fine means
Musa fear meaning traveling, the scary as Gary
is Bailey video, May, Allah subhanaw taala grant him those who
have passed on High Plus in genital filled those, those who
are still with us, Allah subhanaw taala ease all the aches and pains
and grant him a long life in His obedience army. But how just think
about it, how much preparation goes into hatred,
especially considering, you know, in the dark days of apartheid,
when most of the people in our community were either ombudsman or
you know, people that were basically blue collar working
class, and it took a very long time to actually save to go on a
change. I mean, some people went on 100 money that they made from
selling to sisters
and but those little few pennies that they put aside every month
Alhamdulillah Allah made it grow. That's why up to today, even
though a hedge now, somebody was telling me they're having to pay
for like a middle. I don't know if we're making like platinum, gold,
silver, brass, copper, maybe
They're going for the they're going for the bras, middle one.
Bras, silver, platinum gold, silver, they're going for the
middle of the road hedge 120,000 Man, man 120,000 Rand. Hello.
I remember Al Hamdulillah, I did my first HUD show with my mother
in law, but I was a student in Medina. And I remember she went
with,
in fact, yellow family for the salon.
And she paid 14,000 rent, there was 1996 1996 she paid 14,000
Rand, and that was from Ramadan, all the way to
14,000.
Now, people are going, I think they still give me five, six weeks
120,000 Rand per person.
Just, I don't mean to go off the topic, but this is something that
we must reflect on. I don't know if if, I mean, I still got those
old people. I've only been 52 years in this community. But 100 I
got those old people that I can still remember saying, or I heard
from the children, when their parents said to them 30 years 60
years ago,
that make your limit 100 1100 Because one day, you're going to
have all the money and you're not going to be able to go for how
much
we can say you Subhan Allah that was ill ham that was divinely
inspired to those wise people from Allah subhanho wa Taala because
today, even if you've got not 120 Even if you've got a million but
you haven't got your accreditation from south, you can go for Hutch.
And now I think we are down to what 2500
in 1996 I think our quota was we didn't even have a quota. We used
to send from Cape Town alone 10,000 per Judge. But anyway,
let's come back to the point about this.
So when you go for hunch, we first we have to save
and for those of you haven't been on Hutch tonight in this Masjid
right now, I want you to make your near for Hajj. Well Allah Allah
will send you the money. Make your near for Hajj. rodelle Hajj
Hadith, Mr. De Mohammed called interview someone last month or
other hedge fund
ever wants to make Hajj make
don't wait for when somebody has to push you in a wheelchair will
lie It's not easy.
I've seen it I felt that
in fact, one day I was in the Haram pushing this lady in a
wheelchair and I knocked this Turkish lady on her heel
in an elixir Amina
you know they were talking to each other I think they were discussing
as to whether we're gonna forgive me or not humbler they forgave me.
So
make your preparation make your preparation for Hajj, you know,
make the effort put your pennies away, Allah subhanaw taala will
open up the doors of residency and grant you that what you need, he
will take you there you perform your hygiene you'll come back to
delight to Allah all at the expense of rubble island.
So print cards and we go and greet and and then we still want to
invite the people you know, in the old days used to be like for a
week now so any three nights the most expensive. I mean, once the
most and I was for
favor, um
you know, but
you know, and please, you know, when I say this? I know I say it
in a very light hearted way. But you know, it's actually a small
investment. I think you Slava 20 made sekirei Allah allow three
days of slavery Subhanallah cover your expenses for the whole six
weeks. But you know, it's a beautiful tradition. Wallah. It's
a beautiful tradition. Obviously you mustn't be inviting them with
that, although that might be in the back of your head.
But the prophet said to her do to have always a beautiful tradition
to give somebody money with a near have them spending it on their
hedge, Allahu Akbar, Allah Akbar Baraka in that person, for that
person that is going on Hajj, and a great reward for the person that
is spending on them in the path of Allah subhanho wa taala. The
profit center has to have give gifts to one another. It creates
more love for one another. So it's a beautiful tradition, right? So
he's got his agent. He's put down his deposit. He's got his head to
book flights, get visas. But then if you miss the old days, I mean,
when I went to Saudi for the first time, we had to go to Kenya
to get our visas to Nairobi.
And we spent
we spent one night in the glory hotel
I would tell myself and for other students that were going to Medina
to go study international university
you know that night I was after that there was blood on the walls
from the mosquitoes that we had to kill stuff for Allah Allah forgive
me how many mosquitoes we killed that night I can't tell you but
I'm saying that's the kind of effort that people used to have to
make it and before our time before our time people used to go by
boat.
What preparation went into that then you have to still have a
special ceremony to unpack when people come to your house and if
you have
what you call it, a block of sunlight soap and a blocky facin
mashallah everybody pack in for you. So, so much preparation, even
up till today so much preparation people put in going on Hajj. Yet
to Allah He say it again? Wallah he'd be late to Allah He on the
day of departure we not even certain if we're going to make it
to the airport
What about
something that we are 100% Sure is going to take place in our lives.
But how much preparation are we looking for it? That's why Turkey
didn't hustle bustling. He said
when he was asked Masaru sad Kiyotaki at What is your secret to
happiness? I'm going to do this talk in two parts. I'm going to
end now and I'll carry on tomorrow night inshallah to Allah but I
believe you were the words of of turkey dinner, hustle and bustle.
He was asked What is your secret to happiness he said four things
are bad to Russia. I live to under his pillow Yahoo the Hoover
Nickleby he said I knew that my sustenance nobody could take it
with me. So my heart was satisfied.
Well I live to
be he Cy official to be and I knew that my actions nobody was going
to perform them for me. So I got busy with performing those
actions. Number three, why? Allah Hamid Talia and I lay here for
step two and your only Allah Marcia and they knew that Allah
could see me in everything that I was doing. So I was too shy for
him to see me in disobedience to him.
And number four are limited and moto Yong toddy Rooney, for desert

awaiting me. So I made preparations and I got ready for
my meeting with Allah Allah subhana wa Taala till tomorrow

after the winter Salah for brother Showkat who has been under the
knife, a heavy surgery, a six hour surgery.
