In Islam, welcome back to roaming Ramadan lessons
on the road. We just left
the city of Madinah,
heading to
Mecca inshallah for our Umrah.
And there's
there are a lot of mixed feelings and
emotions surrounding this journey,
salah,
was the last salah before
departing
Saudi Arabia after our ombre. So the emotion
of sadness was surrounding
the the air, the atmosphere around us,
knowing that we will not be next to
the prophet
again, and Allah alone knows when we'll be
able
and when will he be granting
us another opportunity like this. But at the
same time, there was a lot of excitement
and happiness knowing that we're going to the
house of Allah
in Mecca
and perform one of the,
sunnahs
of the prophet
by visiting the Kaaba, by doing the,
by running between Safa and Marwan,
fulfilling all these shaha'ir, all these rituals that
were introduced to us by our beloved prophet,
Muhammadu SAW. And, subhanAllah, that reminded me of
the Hijra or the journey back from
Medina to Mecca victorious.
When the prophet
entered from every direction, he and his companions
victorious,
regaining
Makkah, his beloved city, and how the prophet
was so happy
to get back home, subhanallah,
in Mecca.
And this is the feeling that everyone has
or should develop
by going visiting Mecca,
that personal victory.
Allah
enabled you
to visit his house.
So may Allah
accept from 1 and all. Remember, my brothers
and sisters, there are many rituals during, you
know, your visitation
to the house of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
that maybe
we don't understand. We don't
understand its wisdom.
For example, like kissing the Kaaba.
Sorry, kissing the black stone.
Many
people would question, even non Muslims, would question
us, like, are you guys worshiping idols? Why
are you kissing a stone and so
on?
The very meaning of Islam is to submit
and to surrender to the will
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
And one of the things that we have
observed during the life of prophet Muhammad SAWS
was that he did what he did to
guide us through
in life, and so that we can come
after him and imitate his
footsteps.
And that's why Umar ibn Khattab, radiAllahu anhu,
one of the most intelligent
human beings ever
produced in history,
he looked at the black stone and he
talked to it and he said that Thank
you. I know that you're a stone. It
cannot harm it cannot benefit. And this this
what we should know as believers that this
stone is just part of the creation of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. It cannot harm you.
It cannot benefit you. We don't pray to
it
whatsoever.
All what we do is we follow the
foot steps of the prophet
because we trust him, because we believe that
he was sent from high. So whatever the
reason is, if it is hidden from us,
doesn't matter. So Omar Khattab
said that had I not seen the prophet
kissing you, I would have never kissed you.
Look at the the reasoning
behind kissing the black stone simply because we
have seen the prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
doing such an act, and we trust him
so much. So may Allah accept
from all of us, and may Allah
enable all of you
to visit the house of Allah, the Kaaba,
to fulfill your obligations
with a hajj or auvrah Amin al Brahmi.
Stick around. Inshallah, we'll be sharing with you
few sites, few image images from
the holy sites.
And, I will include you all in my
dua.
