00:01:16 --> 00:01:21

him abundantly for the beautiful recitation that we are so blessed

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

to listen to every night.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

In this Mobarak month of Ramadan,

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

we have arrived at a verse

00:01:32 --> 00:01:32

at

00:01:35 --> 00:01:40

if it was a religion on its own, everybody in the world is already

00:01:40 --> 00:01:41

in a believer.

00:01:42 --> 00:01:47

If it was a religion, the statement The first statement in

00:01:47 --> 00:01:47

this verse,

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51

Then everybody on Earth is already a believer.

00:01:53 --> 00:01:57

And that is cool enough seen the cartoon not

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

every soul shall taste the death

00:02:03 --> 00:02:10

to the degree that Allah subhanaw taala calls it in the Quran

00:02:10 --> 00:02:11

Eliakim

00:02:13 --> 00:02:14

the certainty

00:02:16 --> 00:02:22

because it is the only thing that a human being is 100% Certain

00:02:23 --> 00:02:27

is going to take place in their lives after they leave the wombs

00:02:27 --> 00:02:30

of the mothers. The only thing is this

00:02:32 --> 00:02:36

Wallahi none of us are even certain they begin to make it out

00:02:36 --> 00:02:40

of this Masjid tonight or they begin to make it home tonight

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

Allah subhanaw taala grant us all to make it home safely. Allah

00:02:42 --> 00:02:48

grant us to see the whole of Ramadan to see Peter and each

00:02:48 --> 00:02:51

other ha and grant us a long life in His obedience. I mean you're on

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

an island but that's the reality

00:02:54 --> 00:02:56

that's the only certainty is death.

00:03:00 --> 00:03:02

And yet, when you compare

00:03:03 --> 00:03:06

how we prepare for so many things in life

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

the example I like to make especially for Cape Town

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

is how we prepare for Hajj

00:03:14 --> 00:03:20

you know we first thing we do we have cards printed can nowadays

00:03:20 --> 00:03:24

cards in the old days that people used to go from house to house.

00:03:24 --> 00:03:25

Now they just send a whatsapp

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28

but in the old days

00:03:30 --> 00:03:36

salam Wa alaykum Allah Farhan Danis Osmo Shafi Nadia GooglePlay

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

Tula is great

00:03:41 --> 00:03:45

you know Masha Allah will Shafi without discovered actually Musa

00:03:45 --> 00:03:48

fear, but that's fine, that's fine means

00:03:50 --> 00:03:54

Musa fear meaning traveling, the scary as Gary

00:03:56 --> 00:03:59

is Bailey video, May, Allah subhanaw taala grant him those who

00:03:59 --> 00:04:03

have passed on High Plus in genital filled those, those who

00:04:03 --> 00:04:06

are still with us, Allah subhanaw taala ease all the aches and pains

00:04:06 --> 00:04:10

and grant him a long life in His obedience army. But how just think

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

about it, how much preparation goes into hatred,

00:04:14 --> 00:04:17

especially considering, you know, in the dark days of apartheid,

00:04:18 --> 00:04:23

when most of the people in our community were either ombudsman or

00:04:24 --> 00:04:27

you know, people that were basically blue collar working

00:04:27 --> 00:04:33

class, and it took a very long time to actually save to go on a

00:04:33 --> 00:04:37

change. I mean, some people went on 100 money that they made from

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39

selling to sisters

00:04:40 --> 00:04:44

and but those little few pennies that they put aside every month

00:04:44 --> 00:04:49

Alhamdulillah Allah made it grow. That's why up to today, even

00:04:49 --> 00:04:53

though a hedge now, somebody was telling me they're having to pay

00:04:53 --> 00:04:57

for like a middle. I don't know if we're making like platinum, gold,

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

silver, brass, copper, maybe

00:05:00 --> 00:05:03

They're going for the they're going for the bras, middle one.

00:05:03 --> 00:05:06

Bras, silver, platinum gold, silver, they're going for the

00:05:06 --> 00:05:14

middle of the road hedge 120,000 Man, man 120,000 Rand. Hello.

00:05:16 --> 00:05:19

I remember Al Hamdulillah, I did my first HUD show with my mother

00:05:19 --> 00:05:23

in law, but I was a student in Medina. And I remember she went

00:05:23 --> 00:05:24

with,

00:05:25 --> 00:05:27

in fact, yellow family for the salon.

00:05:29 --> 00:05:37

And she paid 14,000 rent, there was 1996 1996 she paid 14,000

00:05:37 --> 00:05:40

Rand, and that was from Ramadan, all the way to

00:05:42 --> 00:05:43

14,000.

00:05:45 --> 00:05:49

Now, people are going, I think they still give me five, six weeks

00:05:49 --> 00:05:53

120,000 Rand per person.

00:05:55 --> 00:05:59

Just, I don't mean to go off the topic, but this is something that

00:05:59 --> 00:06:03

we must reflect on. I don't know if if, I mean, I still got those

00:06:03 --> 00:06:07

old people. I've only been 52 years in this community. But 100 I

00:06:07 --> 00:06:12

got those old people that I can still remember saying, or I heard

00:06:13 --> 00:06:19

from the children, when their parents said to them 30 years 60

00:06:19 --> 00:06:20

years ago,

00:06:21 --> 00:06:29

that make your limit 100 1100 Because one day, you're going to

00:06:29 --> 00:06:32

have all the money and you're not going to be able to go for how

00:06:32 --> 00:06:32

much

00:06:34 --> 00:06:39

we can say you Subhan Allah that was ill ham that was divinely

00:06:39 --> 00:06:43

inspired to those wise people from Allah subhanho wa Taala because

00:06:43 --> 00:06:48

today, even if you've got not 120 Even if you've got a million but

00:06:48 --> 00:06:52

you haven't got your accreditation from south, you can go for Hutch.

00:06:53 --> 00:06:56

And now I think we are down to what 2500

00:06:57 --> 00:07:02

in 1996 I think our quota was we didn't even have a quota. We used

00:07:02 --> 00:07:06

to send from Cape Town alone 10,000 per Judge. But anyway,

00:07:07 --> 00:07:09

let's come back to the point about this.

00:07:10 --> 00:07:16

So when you go for hunch, we first we have to save

00:07:17 --> 00:07:21

and for those of you haven't been on Hutch tonight in this Masjid

00:07:21 --> 00:07:24

right now, I want you to make your near for Hajj. Well Allah Allah

00:07:24 --> 00:07:28

will send you the money. Make your near for Hajj. rodelle Hajj

00:07:28 --> 00:07:32

Hadith, Mr. De Mohammed called interview someone last month or

00:07:32 --> 00:07:33

other hedge fund

00:07:35 --> 00:07:36

ever wants to make Hajj make

00:07:38 --> 00:07:40

don't wait for when somebody has to push you in a wheelchair will

00:07:40 --> 00:07:41

lie It's not easy.

00:07:43 --> 00:07:45

I've seen it I felt that

00:07:46 --> 00:07:48

in fact, one day I was in the Haram pushing this lady in a

00:07:48 --> 00:07:52

wheelchair and I knocked this Turkish lady on her heel

00:07:53 --> 00:07:55

in an elixir Amina

00:07:56 --> 00:07:58

you know they were talking to each other I think they were discussing

00:07:58 --> 00:08:01

as to whether we're gonna forgive me or not humbler they forgave me.

00:08:03 --> 00:08:03

So

00:08:05 --> 00:08:08

make your preparation make your preparation for Hajj, you know,

00:08:08 --> 00:08:12

make the effort put your pennies away, Allah subhanaw taala will

00:08:12 --> 00:08:15

open up the doors of residency and grant you that what you need, he

00:08:15 --> 00:08:18

will take you there you perform your hygiene you'll come back to

00:08:18 --> 00:08:21

delight to Allah all at the expense of rubble island.

00:08:22 --> 00:08:27

So print cards and we go and greet and and then we still want to

00:08:27 --> 00:08:30

invite the people you know, in the old days used to be like for a

00:08:30 --> 00:08:34

week now so any three nights the most expensive. I mean, once the

00:08:34 --> 00:08:34

most and I was for

00:08:36 --> 00:08:36

favor, um

00:08:43 --> 00:08:44

you know, but

00:08:45 --> 00:08:49

you know, and please, you know, when I say this? I know I say it

00:08:49 --> 00:08:52

in a very light hearted way. But you know, it's actually a small

00:08:52 --> 00:08:57

investment. I think you Slava 20 made sekirei Allah allow three

00:08:57 --> 00:09:01

days of slavery Subhanallah cover your expenses for the whole six

00:09:01 --> 00:09:05

weeks. But you know, it's a beautiful tradition. Wallah. It's

00:09:05 --> 00:09:08

a beautiful tradition. Obviously you mustn't be inviting them with

00:09:08 --> 00:09:10

that, although that might be in the back of your head.

00:09:11 --> 00:09:17

But the prophet said to her do to have always a beautiful tradition

00:09:17 --> 00:09:19

to give somebody money with a near have them spending it on their

00:09:19 --> 00:09:24

hedge, Allahu Akbar, Allah Akbar Baraka in that person, for that

00:09:24 --> 00:09:27

person that is going on Hajj, and a great reward for the person that

00:09:27 --> 00:09:30

is spending on them in the path of Allah subhanho wa taala. The

00:09:30 --> 00:09:34

profit center has to have give gifts to one another. It creates

00:09:34 --> 00:09:38

more love for one another. So it's a beautiful tradition, right? So

00:09:38 --> 00:09:43

he's got his agent. He's put down his deposit. He's got his head to

00:09:43 --> 00:09:47

book flights, get visas. But then if you miss the old days, I mean,

00:09:47 --> 00:09:50

when I went to Saudi for the first time, we had to go to Kenya

00:09:51 --> 00:09:54

to get our visas to Nairobi.

00:09:55 --> 00:09:56

And we spent

00:09:57 --> 00:09:59

we spent one night in the glory hotel

00:10:00 --> 00:10:05

I would tell myself and for other students that were going to Medina

00:10:05 --> 00:10:07

to go study international university

00:10:08 --> 00:10:12

you know that night I was after that there was blood on the walls

00:10:13 --> 00:10:17

from the mosquitoes that we had to kill stuff for Allah Allah forgive

00:10:17 --> 00:10:21

me how many mosquitoes we killed that night I can't tell you but

00:10:21 --> 00:10:24

I'm saying that's the kind of effort that people used to have to

00:10:24 --> 00:10:27

make it and before our time before our time people used to go by

00:10:27 --> 00:10:28

boat.

00:10:29 --> 00:10:32

What preparation went into that then you have to still have a

00:10:32 --> 00:10:36

special ceremony to unpack when people come to your house and if

00:10:36 --> 00:10:36

you have

00:10:37 --> 00:10:42

what you call it, a block of sunlight soap and a blocky facin

00:10:42 --> 00:10:46

mashallah everybody pack in for you. So, so much preparation, even

00:10:46 --> 00:10:52

up till today so much preparation people put in going on Hajj. Yet

00:10:52 --> 00:10:57

to Allah He say it again? Wallah he'd be late to Allah He on the

00:10:57 --> 00:11:00

day of departure we not even certain if we're going to make it

00:11:00 --> 00:11:01

to the airport

00:11:04 --> 00:11:04

What about

00:11:06 --> 00:11:11

something that we are 100% Sure is going to take place in our lives.

00:11:11 --> 00:11:14

But how much preparation are we looking for it? That's why Turkey

00:11:14 --> 00:11:17

didn't hustle bustling. He said

00:11:19 --> 00:11:23

when he was asked Masaru sad Kiyotaki at What is your secret to

00:11:23 --> 00:11:25

happiness? I'm going to do this talk in two parts. I'm going to

00:11:25 --> 00:11:28

end now and I'll carry on tomorrow night inshallah to Allah but I

00:11:28 --> 00:11:31

believe you were the words of of turkey dinner, hustle and bustle.

00:11:32 --> 00:11:35

He was asked What is your secret to happiness he said four things

00:11:35 --> 00:11:39

are bad to Russia. I live to under his pillow Yahoo the Hoover

00:11:40 --> 00:11:43

Nickleby he said I knew that my sustenance nobody could take it

00:11:43 --> 00:11:46

with me. So my heart was satisfied.

00:11:47 --> 00:11:48

Well I live to

be he Cy official to be and I knew that my actions nobody was going

00:11:53 --> 00:11:56

to perform them for me. So I got busy with performing those

00:11:56 --> 00:12:00

actions. Number three, why? Allah Hamid Talia and I lay here for

00:12:00 --> 00:12:03

step two and your only Allah Marcia and they knew that Allah

00:12:03 --> 00:12:07

could see me in everything that I was doing. So I was too shy for

00:12:07 --> 00:12:09

him to see me in disobedience to him.

00:12:10 --> 00:12:17

And number four are limited and moto Yong toddy Rooney, for desert

00:12:17 --> 00:12:22

Lily car Illa. And he said I knew with certainty, the death was

00:12:22 --> 00:12:26

awaiting me. So I made preparations and I got ready for

00:12:26 --> 00:12:29

my meeting with Allah Allah subhana wa Taala till tomorrow

00:12:29 --> 00:12:33
