Amen and what is urban?

Carry as the Virgin?

Oh as we know him in a ship on a regime similar manner Rahim Al

mousseline. So you're gonna want to be you know, Maulana Muhammad

Ali was a big marine said Mr. aleikum wa rahmatullah wa

barakato.

My very brief presentation tonight is in three parts, reflecting on

culture

and the launch of a book, as well as concluding on the last parable

from the series we have done for the month.

Tonight is among the most anticipated lights of the year.

And I don't mean the UEFA Cup final by the way.

I mean that tonight is one of the anticipated nights to her room a

little closer, filled with rumination, our hearing Ramadan,

search for causes in the odd nights of the last 10 nights of

Ramadan and tonight is one such night. They will cover the Night

of Power, the night of majesty, the neck of Grandia the lack of

dignity the lack of destiny and determination.

Lay the halo minimal feature a net greater in value than 1000 months

a night of tremendous religious and spiritual significance. A

knighted mark the commencement commencement of the final divine

communication to humanity. Al Quran Al Furqan a revelation that

affected the fate of nations and the destiny of many nations, it

changed the course of human history. So,

if we are to be empowered

on this night of power, it is very important that we reconnect to the

source of that power, which is the Quran and for which comes from the

ultimate source of power, which Allah subhanho wa taala.

The second point is this entire complex of Islamia is located on

Imam Harun road.

This week 28th of May was 50 years since the selfless courageous imam

who was the head of the ALMA Council in Cape Town and Imam from

our community, whose Masjid was further down this very Road in

Claremont Imam a Shaheed Abdullah Haroon was arrested 50 years ago

this week. He was held incommunicado for 123 days that

means neither his friends, no family, no doctors, no lawyers

were able to see him. And he was his martyred body was returned 123

days later on the 27th of September 1969.

Tonight, we are launching a commemorative booklet on Ramadan.

It was never published before Imam ha wounds note on Ramadan, which

we are releasing for the first time here at the various massages

in Cape Town, in fact throughout the country. And it has additional

articles by people like his son, Professor Muhammad Harun articles

by Imam Muhammad causing also by his roommate that Jaffa was also

involved in the struggle, Imam Omar and one of the things that

Imam Hassan requested he came in a dream of Jacob Lucado and he said

to him that he asked the people to make dua, a particular dua dua

casita among Fallujah, a dua of Imam in Hawaii, and the DUA is

also contained in it the privilege and the honor of being asked to

translate and the translation in the original of the DUA is also in

here. So tonight we have a few copies, you can inshallah collect

immediately afterwards for those who want it will be actually being

sold all over but tonight with the generosity of someone we are

giving out some and some will be available on eight days if you

wish, you can collect it immediately after my talk here

this evening. The booklet here is the one on Shahid Abdullah runes

article on on Ramadan itself

we want to conclude our series they are with Tom keen on salwak

Mohammed Al Quran Al Karim nights of empowerment, parables and

wisdom from the Glorious Quran.

And we close by reflecting upon a parable that refers to the

transitory nature of our life on Earth, and life if you come into

without being asked, and the life that we leave without our

permission, and we reflect on this parable

loves his walk three beloved method of hieratic dunya karma in

Anza Lahaina sama for tele kabhi Hina battle for us Baja Shimon to

grow who Rhea makan Allahu Allah.

set forth for them the parable of the life of this world. It is like

the rain which we sent down from the skies, the earth, vegetation

absorbs it is revived,

but soon, it becomes dry, and debris and fragmented. And

eventually it is scattered away by the wind. It is only Allah who

prevails of all things, everything else is temporary.

The Quran brings to our attention in this parable, that just like

rain falls on the surface of the Earth, revives the dry land, green

vegetation grows, last for a while, and then eventually dries

up, and if in fact is blown away. So to human life on Earth, we are

born, we develop, we flourish, and eventually, we age and we die.

So we have to value what we have through the opportunities that

life affords us. And that's why there are Susan Allahu alayhi wa

sallam said in the hadith is attending comes a couple of times

in Shabaab, a couple of heroic was a high tech a couple of SOCOMEC of

rock a couple of Shivalik working out a couple of fabric with higher

tech a couple of the most value five things in your life. Before

five other things come to pass. Value use before all age before

value your health before sickness, value your free time before you

are preoccupied value your wealth or whatever you have before you

lose it before poverty and value your life before death.

So we ought to do what needs to be done with full vigor and grasp the

opportunity of life. All that we have is the present tomorrow may

or may not come if it comes we may or may not be there.

We can undo the past but we can use the present and this way said

that Allah Karim Allah just said he

can Nikita

Nikita Moo to work for this world, as if you're going to be here for

a long time, as if you can be here forever work for him. Work hard,

do what needs to be done, but prepare for the hereafter as if

you're gonna die tomorrow. So this makes us realize the importance of

taking the chance grasping the opportunity of life, and also

realizing that life is temporary. Life is fleeting, and I will stay

on this earth is but a very brief moment. And that's why they're

also saying Allahu alayhi wa sallam had he documented in Sahih

al Bukhari said confit dunya and Nica Hurry over RBD so be be in

this world, as a passing stranger or as a moving traveler, and one

of the companions of the Zulu allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

Abdullah of Yama, rhodiola and Huma, he said, either unsated for

Latin Teresa, who either has butterfat until during the Messiah

will hug me and say hi telematic I mean, hierarchical emoting, he

said when you go to sleep, do not assume you'll wake up tomorrow

morning. And when you wake up in the morning, there's no guarantee

that you will see the sunset. Therefore, take precaution from

your health, against your sickness, and take from life, what

would benefit you after death.

You see, there is no avoidance of birth or death, except to utilize

the interval that we have in between and to use it effectively.

Deficit is allowed to happen. And wherever we are, death will come

and fetch us no matter who you drink.

But as certain as we are about the occurrence of death, so uncertain,

are we about his timing, and therefore we are instructed to act

every act as if that act could be our last act. And you know, Sue

said even about Allah, Hafiz Allah Attica for Sunday, Salah you said

in a hadith documented in the Sunnah look up Marja. Whenever you

pray, pray as if it is your last prayer.

We acknowledge the fact that life isn't always easy. Life is a

kaleidoscope of inescapable situations, health and sickness,

joy and sadness, grief and loss, laughter and tears, birth and

death, joy and grief. But we need to learn how to ride the roller

coaster of the wave of life without losing our balance. We

need to learn to recognize the purpose of our existence and

realize the value that our life could offer. No person is

insignificant and no good deed is too small.

You see, a fulfilling life is not necessarily an extra ordinary

life, but rather a meaningful life. A life made up of daily acts

of excellent done for

Good deeds with good intention, that alive of contribution, a life

of compassion that comes from sincerity of the heart. A

rewarding life occurs when we commit ourselves to being loving

and caring on a daily basis and engaging in small acts of

kindness, consistent acts of goodness, which over the course of

time, makes life a continuous series of significant events, and

perchance a meaningful life filled with moments of significance.

You see, much of our life tends to be aimed at competing with others,

rather than focusing on being good. Another parable in the Quran

Allah also mentions he says, There are no animal hieratic dunya Ibu

Allah who was in a to what the far from Baylor, but the catheter will

fit and while he will, hola como se the lighting continues. No

people the life of this world is but playing pastime and delight.

It's a show beautiful show. And the cause an opportunity for you

to boastful, boastfully vie and compete with each other, for greed

and for riches and FOR MORE And for more.

And that's why the Sufis ever saying,

No newly donate $1 You say, But when the mood duel ask you are you

che, che and Watson? Who unhealthful fitrah Alpha sila

banal hierarchy will mode? No, no, actually.

We are born without bringing anything into this world. And we

die without taking anything from this world. And the sad thing is

that in the interval between birth and death, we fight for those

things we did not bring in this world,

nor will we take from this world. And he said, Now you saw in the

man who will Armadyl another Saudi

Arabia, woman loving you as his mana truco who was the criada

ality halacha. What helps you when you leave the world is the good

that you have done.

And what consoles the people you leave behind are the fond memories

you create when you are alive with them.

We must learn in this life, in this month of Ramadan as we go on,

to forgive any hurt and injuries that come our way. And most

importantly, to treat others as we ourselves would wish to be

treated. Because ultimately what matters in life is not what we

studied. But what we learned,

not who we knew, but for what you will known not what we meant what

we memorized, but for what you will be remembered, not what we

said. But what we meant. Not for how we traveled. But when we meant

that how much we had, but for what it was spent. Not what we thought

but what we did, not what we got, but what we gave, not what we

profess, but how we lived, and not how long we live, but how much

good we did.

We need to approach the world.

Apply our faith and engage the future beyond Ramadan, with an

open mind and a caring heart, removing prejudice with

understanding, removing darkness through light, removing evil with

good replacing injury with hope. And by supplanting hatred with

love. Allah didn't make this world a permanent place. And this is

what the terrible is intimating Allah did not make this world a

permanent place called lumen Allah Yaffa and we have a Khawaja robic

This is a temporary world, everything here is finite. And all

things have a time limit. Neither other good things of this world

forever. No other bad things eternal life after all, is a test

under the helical Moto, Leah blue accom a test which is also an

opportunity. So make the best of the test of life by doing all the

good weekend, wherever we can, whenever we can, to whomsoever we

can, as best as we can.

Let us conscient eyes ourselves with the responsibility of

considering in any situation considering what is best doing

what is right and inshallah focusing on what is important. We

have through the series, reflected on numerous parables from the

Glorious Quran and we did so in order to gain some ethical insight

or to highlight some noble virtue or to illustrate some valuable

principle or to obtain a moral lesson.

We pray Inshallah, that this series has assisted, assisted us

in some way

To appreciate the message of this Quran to enhance our understanding

of our faith and perchance increase our commitment to

righteousness and inshallah to improving ourselves as we say, as

we go to the month of Ramadan.

We die

or we die Yoshua will see
