Sulaiman Moola – My Mum’s Dua Was Waiting For Me At Masjid Al-Aqsa

			Bismillah Ar Rahman AR Rahim in my 25 odd years of public speaking, I have often been asked many
questions pertaining to oratory. Many people ask the question, Do you recall the first lecture you
gave in your life? And the answer is, Yes, I have a vivid recollection of the day and the date and
the location. It was a Juma lecture. I was 17 years of age and I can never possibly forget that
Dave, and others would ask you, do you have any count of how many lectures you have delivered in all
these years? And frankly, speaking, I have no count. While the more objective reply to that would
be, it all depends. If Allah accepts any of those lectures, it all depends. You know what, counting
		

			those lectures in enumerating them and if Allah doesn't accept anyone, then what? What's the benefit
of it? Junaid? Baghdadi Rahim Allah when he passed away, someone seen him in a dream and asked him
how did you fail before Allah and he was a sage of the age is a PA tell everybody we're funny at
Isha rod, woman alpha, il rakata, Annie Raka Anna who Murphy jiofi, Lael, that all the acts of
worship in which we exerted our self, etc, was not accepted in the court of Allah. But the two units
of prayer that I would perform daily, in the late hours of the night, early hours of the morning was
accepted. And that was the cause of my salvation. And then others would ask you, which was the
		

			longest lecture you gave. And I jokingly say that I have often spoke at these events on the New
Year's Eve, where martial law programs are organized to keep our youth off the streets and of evil
activities, etc. And I jokingly say to people, that was one of my longest lectures, because I
started in the previous year, and ended the next year. And then people would ask you, what was the
largest audience you address, etc. But the point I really want to get to is where they asked you the
question, which was one of your most memorable talks and memorable speeches. And for me, surely, it
was the lecture that Allah privileged me to deliver in masjidul episode, How can I forget that
		

			Islamic year 1434, just the backdrop and a context to it. And I've said this and shared this in many
of my talks, and I have a crack in my voice and a tear in my eye. Because this is through the grace
of Allah and the prayer of my mom, that she often would pray for me that my son, you would sit in,
you would talk and Allah will inspire you, and you will, are two words that you yourself will be
surprised, because it is something you did not research. But at that moment on the draw of your mom,
Allah will inspire you. And I say amin, and I witness it, and I observe it. And on a particular
instance, she said to me, today is soon my son, the day is soon where you will deliver a dog in the
		

			harem, you will deliver a dog in the harem. And I was put amin and in my heart, I thought to myself,
well, how are the young kin? And is this possible? And is this possible for a non Arab to deliver a
talk in the harem in Arabic?
		

			And I said amin, but again, this reminds us of the profound caliber of the draws of a parent and the
draws of a man. And I urge and implore the youth out there and all those who have their parents
seize the moment and earn the doors of your parents. So anyway, I had returned from Australia on a
lecture tour, and it was the month of Ramadan and some friends of mine stone me that they traveling
to Mr. Al Aqsa, would you like to accompany us and I said absolutely. The famous Hadith of the
messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam led to shut down rehaul illa Illa Salah city masajid that
traveled to three places, the sacred Masjid in Mecca, mocha Rama, the masjid of the messenger
		

			sallallahu alayhi wasallam in Madina, munawwara and Masjid Al Aqsa in Palestine, I obliged I
responded happily to this proposal. And soon thereafter, towards the last 10 days of the month of
Ramadan, we boarded the flight and off we went to masjidul AXA. Little did I know that this was part
of the fruition of the prayer and supplication of my Mum, I don't want to go into the details of the
journey. We flew to Egypt from the to Jordan, we cross the border, it was a long day, it was hot, we
were fasting. And finally we crossed the border and we got in and we were excited that Alhamdulillah
it go inside and this was the grace of the Almighty it go inside it with the 27th night of Ramadan.
		

			And this is the day that witnesses the most remarkable numbers of people converging and congregating
at this third holiest place in Islam in this blessed sacred month of Ramadan, and new started
filtering through that there is a group of people who have come from South Africa. And somehow news
got through that I was part of the group as well, when finally we arrived in must
		

			relaxar accommodation was arranged etc. And there was just 10s of 1000s of people 10s of 1000s of
people. And as I was requested by some of the people that they were many South Africans, British
nationals and American citizens, etc, that will also observe in RT. gov. So just to meet the more
active caffeine, and to give them some talk in English, and I said, by all means, it allowed for me
to also have a little tour of AXA as well. And Subhanallah It was great connecting with the people
seeing people setting in RT Gov. And then we were getting closer towards McCully. But the atmosphere
was just electrifying. The atmosphere and the hospitality was phenomenal. And news reach the IMA of
		

			the harem, the Imams of the harem that there is a visiting scholar referring to this fallible model
in this humble servant. And I was privileged to meet with the IMA who are very humble and simple in
the private office. And I was even given the honor to make a star with them as well. The amount of
Madrid was called out and the horn was buzzing, the horn was buzzing, it's completion of the Quran.
It's the last 10 days of Ramadan and people had come from far and wide. And many people who in other
times are not given access to the Haram are allowed and given access to the Haram weed as it may we
you know what opened our fire sprayed our Muslim salah and I still remember it was more drinking
		

			than eating due to the intensity of the heat, which was then followed by the ratio salah and of
course the completion of the Quran. And memory that would live with me a memory that would live with
me is as the DA of the completion of the Quran took place. And the prayer for the liberation of
Uppsala was reverberating from the member and the Maharaja of AXA. So you've heard this do I in the
Haram in Makkah, Allahumma henryville masjidul, aka our grand deliverance and grant liberation, and
you've heard it and you've made it and great and wonderful and amazing, but standing in the sacred
Masjid of AXA, on the 27th, ninth of Ramadan, and listening to that, imagine making that dua trust
		

			me, my brother and my sister, my hair stood on ends, I had goosebumps, I cannot explain that moment.
Anyway that follow through. And then there was this very emotional to her and cry and etc, which
would happen commonly at the completion of the Quran. But you can imagine it was a long day you were
fasting, it was hot you in the harem, it's just amazing. These are emotions you simply cannot
explain. And after the tarawih, Salah was over, one of the Imams of the harem came to me and he came
to meet me and he said, Sure, we had a meeting. And we have decided that today after tiamo lay
akeeba tahajjud you will be delivering a talk from the front. We've decided this year and please,
		

			you need to honor this request of ours.
		

			And I just lost my balance. I lost my I lost my focus. am I listening? I'm literally listening to
this request. I know what the grace of alive had the opportunity and I credit this to the Almighty
and the daughters of my parents and my teachers. But I'm in the harem. It's the 27th night the Quran
has been completed. There are 10s of hundreds of 1000s that have converged and then it would be
followed by tiamo Lael after a little interval, and then after would be your talk. So I you know
what acknowledge the Imam and I outright declined. I said no, this is not going to happen. Of
course, we will converse in in Arabic, we will converse in in Arabic. And he says no chef, we've
		

			decided and you need to deliver the store. And then they spoke to my colleagues and they said
please, you need to make sure that the chef is here at this time after tiamo Lael, and I kept on
saying no, I don't have the courage, I don't have what it takes. And as time started moving on, I
could actually see within myself the prayer of my mum taking shape, and I could hear those words of
my mother echoing in my ears. My son the day is soon where Allah will enable you to deliver a talk
in the harem. Now understand it was a long day I was tired, it was hard exhausted, we were
traveling. Of course there is this you know what the spiritual ambiance is so much happening
		

			simultaneously in your body, and you can suddenly start hearing those whispers doors and prayers of
a mum and I'm reiterating this year what did the Arabic poet say cool llama Allah to an active anime
widget to enough see me that every time I want to like the greatness of my Mum, I find myself to be
illiterate and unlimited.
		

			means mother and own can also mean illiterate. Like I can never speak about the greatness of my mum
with a new nursery Yeoman Sayaka Dino Abby, Colin taqwa LA. And anyway, I decided to offer the
Yamuna lane in a more remote place where I'm not so noticeable. And I'm not so visible where the
Imam had met me during the tarawih time so that he doesn't support me. He doesn't support me. And I
told my colleague, please listen, when they come here, don't mention that I'm standing here. And of
course, the crowds were big. The numbers were huge. So where is he going to identify me? Anyway, I
was sitting there and performing my salah and join my terrarium, enjoying the amillennial and it's
		

			just the recitation is melodious. The ambience is spiritual. The tears are just flowing and
trickling, and your mind is running through so many things about the greatness of this place. Dr.
Moon lane ends and you're the mom is walking through the crowds, and he's coming.
		

			And Subhanallah just recently, I received the post I recently I received the post on Facebook, where
a young man sent me a message and he said, Chef helped us go Ronnie, do you recall me? And a Cheb
* bijar deca one Masha beaker Illa Mahara bill Aqsa, I am the young man recently, not even a
month or two months ago, I received the post from this brother, may Allah bless him, and probably
this message would reach him as well.
		

			He said, I'm the young man who came to you and held you by your hand and escorted you through the
murghab and the member of AXA on the 27th ninth of Ramadan 1434 Hijri where you delivered your dog
and I said indeed my brother, how can I possibly forget you And I then you know, had a communication
and responded to him.
		

			And Fifi if you
		

			were familiar janessa to who Allah Allah Makeba, deja
		

			vu sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and the human
		

			alive. He was a mystery.
		

			mystery for now Mustafa.
		

			Salah Sahaba jasola first silver baby
		

			mama mystery
		

			mean lemme your mood yesterday when Tammy Tanya? Tanya woman tikilive Tonia
		

			warrior corner. Allah subhanho wa Taala for ohan what do I have? To name for own worry?
		

			So for me, this is one of my most memorable talks in my life ever. And again, it reiterate the
sentiments the importance, the significance of the draws of a mother, but moving forward, coupled
within on that same note, do we think and realize and appreciate the richness and the sanctity of
this place? Do we know that back in the times Allah subhanaw taala speaks about this in the third
Jews in the third chapter in Surah. Al Imran in verse 35. That when Hannah that was the wife of
Iran, the mother of Maria Malley has Salam when she conceived, she vowed to the Almighty is dilating
muratorian maronna rabine Naruto like amavi Bethany Mohan Fattah Taco Bell Mini, remember the time
		

			when the wife of a Rembrandt said in in Naruto, laka, Murphy botany Allah I have vowed to you I have
vowed to you that the child that is in my womb, I will hand it over to you mean into the service of
AXA, so they would devote their children to the service of AXA, but the norm was that it would be
male offspring that would be devoted and dedicated to the service of AXA fella what to her and when
she gave birth to this child, Karla throb, beanie was back to her own thought, oh my lord, it is a
girl and I was hopeful of a boy purely so that I could devote him to AXA.
		

			What Allahu Allah movie Ma and Allah says Of course Allah knows in advance what you are giving birth
to Allahu Allah Mamata.
		

			Allah knows the agenda and all the details and the developments of the embryo in the womb of his or
her mother. When you said that got Okello into a well I said that girl lady political lady will
hibbity Wow. Oh, the mother of Maryam ohana. The weather you said that girl the sun you were hopeful
of cannot match the female you've been blessed with. This is such a female that she is of a
different caliber altogether. And that was Maria alayhi salatu was Salam
		

			And then she left her child up Mel foofy silpa wrapped her child up in a cloth Maria alayhis salam,
and she came to AXA. Now the father of Maryam that was in Milan. He was the Imam of Masjid Al Aqsa.
He was the Imam of Masjid Aqsa, and he passed away according to the narration of Romani. He passed
away while he his daughter was in the womb of his wife, pretty much like our beloved Habib
sallallahu alayhi wasallam that when he sallallahu alayhi wasallam was in the belly of Amina radi
Allahu taala and ha, that is with the time nebulae salatu salam, venerable, honorable August father,
Abdullah, the Allahu anhu had passed on. So a similar scenario in the sense that Remeron had passed
		

			away while Mariam alayhis salam was in the belly of, of Hannah, that was the mother what it means a
maid to her Maria, when is a may two hi Maria. She said, I have named my child Maria and Abubakar
just sauce has made mentioned in a camel Quran under this year, that Islam is quite open, whether
the male or the female names it. Yes, it is the mother who named the child, Islam impresses upon us
the importance of giving a good name, but it's flexible, whether the husband names the child or the
mother name, the wife names the child, and she came with this child. And then she came and brought
it to Mr. AXA. And she then offered it to those that were the custodians and those that were the
		

			majority in and those that were, you know, frequent in musty the Aqsa and this honor. And this
privilege was then conferred to Zachary alayhis salam. And of course, as she grew up, she grew up
and she was devoted and dedicated to the worship of Allah. And she had her exclusive chamber
exclusive chamber. And while I was given the tour of AXA and many others who had visited AXA, would
know and tell you about the Chamber of Maryam Allah Salatu was Salam.
		

			You know, my brother and you know, my sister, I was once in mocha, mocha Rama and May Allah bless us
with Umrah and Hajj again soon and repeatedly, amin yorubaland amin, and it was the month of
Ramadan. And it was the tarawih prayer and after taraweeh salaah, I made Salam and there was a
brother sitting next to me and we greeted and that's the beauty right Islam you just connect with
each other. I cannot forget once we visited
		

			Albania, and we went to a place called elbasan. And the entire community came out in our welcome.
And they there was the sense of euphoria. And as we came in and the delegation came in, and I was to
conduct a Juma lecture there, they stood up in excitement and in jubilation, and that was the day I
seen the spirit of brotherhood, where I was excited to meet someone I didn't know. And someone was
excited to meet me who didn't know me from above blue. So, but it was purely the connection of a
man. And the brother was sitting next to me and I greeted him and we spoke in Arabic. And then I
asked him where he is from and he said, I am from Palestine. And I said, How fortunate Have you? And
		

			as I asked him, and I said, are fortunate I just seen the tears trickling down, and I put my hand
around him and I embraced him. I said, All is good. And he said, I live very close to the harem of
AXA, but I perform more Salah in mocha, mocha Rama then I have access to the atom in Aqsa so it's
easier for me to travel to mocha mocha Rama and perform Salah in mocha, mocha Rama or Medina and
then to walk when the harem is that close to me. And I had nothing but to reply with tears. I had
nothing but to reply with tears and masjidul episode Lana is still to do Shabana and masjidul a
pasar Lana state a Lucia burn and na. O us to you know your heritage of youth. Do you know your
		

			history? Or youth? Do you know these blesseds sacred places was stamey A Yama Yuna de mana de
mccannon party in the 26 Jews in chapter 15 verse 41, Allah subhanho wa Taala says was sturmey A
Yama Yuna del mana day on that day when a caller will proclaim from a close place. And even though
as i can say is that the caller refers to Seraphin alayhi salatu was Salam. And the location here
refers to a Sahara, the Dome of the Rock, the Dome of the Rock, and this is where the proclamation
will be made. And this is where harsher and resurrection will take place.
		

			We know that Allah has referred to this place as a lady Baraka, hola the precincts of which have
been blessed. We know on the night of Mirage, the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam led the MBR,
the hemos Salatu was Salam at this very blessed location. So my message to you my brother and my
sister is pray to Allah for the liberation of AXA. How often do you pray
		

			To Allah Allahu marzocchi, Rafi Salatin Kabbalah Muhammad as we yearn and bind to perform Salah with
the reward is multiplied in Mecca and Medina. How much do we yearn and bind to perform salah and
perform at the Gulf in Masjid Al Aqsa, we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to make that possible to bring
the liberation of Aqsa and to bless us with Salah repeatedly in all the three blessings and sacred
harems. Amin era Bella alameen wa sallahu wa sallim ala Nabina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi edma
