So let
us in. Agreed everyone with the most beautiful greeting, the
greeting of Islam, as well as the greeting of Jannah assalam. Ali
Kumar he tallahartu,
masha Allah Jamaat, a Muslim. Mean, we know. We find ourselves
in a state where all of us we are aware of what is transpiring in
the Middle East, especially in Palestine, in Raza, in the West
Bank area, area Masha Allah and Allah subhanahu messenger, used to
make a certain dua that we are all familiar with. And tonight's
hadith is linked to that dua where you SallAllahu, Sallam mentioned
that Allah, Yamani, nawafi, shamina, Allah, bless the
precincts of Sham and Yemen Rasulullah. Sallam used to love
those in here so much. Then there's one of the narrations that
mentioned that when the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam will be at
the hold at the pond of kotha, where the believers are going to
gather, and they Rasulullah Sallam is going to welcome us. He's going
to wait for you and I, and he's going to look at us with a smile,
and we're going to be able to drink from the Mubarak hands of
Sayyidina, Muhammad, sallAllahu. And after that, we will never
become thirsty again. We will never become thirsty, can you
imagine? But still, Allah gives us what Allah gives us, rivers in
Jannah that flow beneath our feet, rivers of wine, rivers of milk and
the rivers of pure water. Subhanallah, we'll enjoy that, but
you will not drink out of being thirsty, just out of enjoyment.
And that is Allah, Subhanahu wa creating Jannah for you and us.
May Allah subhanahu wa taala afford us to be of the inhabitants
of Jannah.
Subhanallah Ford us to be of the inhabitants of Jannah. We cannot
imagine how fortunate we are being a part of sila Nam Muhammad
Sallallahu sallamah, this Deen Allah subhanahu wa given to us,
and that's why tonight, you'll hear the Hadith
of the Prophet alayhi salatu wasalam.
When he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he mentions, on the
authority of Abdullah ibn Hawala as the RadiAllahu taala, and who
he reposted one did the Prophet SAW, he said that, oh, Rasulullah.
So this is a Sahabi, that one who was in the sukhba, in the company
of Rasulullah. So they could not imagine being without him Salla.
They could not imagine, although Allah subhanahu wa as given the
reality through Quran that one day everybody will die. And they
understood this, and that's why they asked certain questions, and
that's why the sahabi say Ya Rasulullah, choose for me a place
where I should stay. For if I were to know that you would remain, I
would not have preferred any place over you. So the reality is,
either he's going to go or Rasulullah going to go first. But
if you Prophet SAW Ya Rasulullah, if you leave, choose a place for
me where I need to go to and what place in our mind would be the
best, Medina to Manoa.
That's the best. We're not going to even doubt that. That's what we
think. But listen to the messenger, sallAllahu, alaihi
wasallam, yusall Allah sallam said,
illhasha, go to Sham. Okay, imagine Rasulullah Sallam is here,
is buried in Medina, but his advice that he gives to a Sahabi
one who lived in the sushbara, he said, go to Sham. Aji, what is in
Sham you saw? Assalam said,
he actually mentioned this thrice, right? He said this, go to Sham.
Go to Sham. Go to Sham. And when Nabi Muhammad SAW my indifference
towards this face, facial expression, because, why? Why
would I want to go to Sham? If you close your eyes, you're going to
be here. You know, he was perplexed with the answer. Then he
Salah Salam said, Do you know what Allah says regarding Sham.
What who say?
What Allah say, regarding Sham, Sham, right? So you saw it very
Allah says, O Sham, you are my chosen land, and I shall make the
best of my servants into you.
Sham. What do we know Sham is being how
do you translate sham Syria? That's that's what we normally say
Syria. But it is explained in the sharach of this hadith that sham
does not only refer to the modern day Syria. It includes Syria
Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon and Pa.
Parts of Turkey, Iraq and Egypt. So that is Sham. So enter those
places, because that is chosen by Allah. And if you enter those
places, rasha al chairman was in Lebanon, it entered one of the
best places, because Allah says, Remember, there's another Rasul
assalam. Say, this is Allah says that the best of people will enter
these places after the demise of Rasulullah. So make it the point
that you make intention in your heart that you want to go and
visit these places. We want to go and do work in these places. Want
to go and meet these special people that Rasul Asmaa Afu we
cannot live in a bubble. We are fine, subhanAllah, but believe me,
Jamaat al Muslimeen, our situation can change within a blink of an
eye. They are today, there tomorrow. It can be us. We need to
go and witness what is happening. And like many scholars say, it's
not going to become easier, but we know it is through Allah's decree,
and Allah knows when the victory will come, and if we can be part
of that victory, why not there's, there's, this, there's this
information that came when this, this struggle started, when
mashaAllah, Hamas, when they did the first attack, you know, and we
know it was an attack because an attack because they wanted to
attack. It was it was forceful. They had to do it. There's nobody
that stand up for these people. There's nobody that raised their
voices for these people, subhanAllah, and we call ourselves
that um masala, Salah. But it is mentioned that when that
transpired, who stood up the entire Jordan,
I'm not talking about just a few, the entire population of Jordan
stood up and they were ready to go, by force, to go and assist the
Palestinians. What did the Government of Jordan do? Close
the borders so it shows you there are people within this ummah is
ready to die. And I almost certain would say, if we were the ones to
live next to Palestine, I think we will also have had the intention
in our hearts to say, subhanAllah, you're not going to do this to our
brothers. We are going to march now, and we're going to help our
brothers, but we are not in that situation. So what do we do? We
make dua you cry to Allah. Dua is not just say Allah, please. Yeah.
No. Dua is with sincerity, with conviction. Because what is dua
the Prophet sallallahu, Sallam says a dua of Bucha, a bada, in
another nation, a dua hula, abada. Dua is the essence of ibadah. Let
me dua is ibadah.
So worship Allah in such a way that you ask, and when you ask,
you feel that you are there. You feel that I'm present. I know that
my brother is going through difficulty, and this is what I
have to do. It is the Haq of my brother for me to make dua for
him, as like molena has mentioned last night, mashaAllah so
beautifully. It's not the responsibility of Palestinians. Is
the responsibility of the entire Ummah, because we inherited that
from Rasulullah. May Allah allow us understanding. May Allah grant
us that our hearts can yearn to move towards Sham, to move towards
Palestine, to be, you know, among our brothers and our sisters who's
going through these struggles. Because indeed, if we come back,
we'll bring something back to our homes, we'll teach our children
that. Wallahi, subhanAllah, if I, if I think about it, we are living
in paradise. Wallahi, we are living in paradise. We are not
going through difficulty. You can go through the most difficult. You
know, situation where we live in Cape Town, it's still Jannah for
them.
It's still Jannah for them. They have nothing, absolutely nothing.
They need to go and scratch in bins make some money. A 50 cents
and another 50 cents. A three bags need to be filled to get one brand
50 cents in order for them to purchase once, one breed that can
maybe feed five people. What if it's a family of 10, they need six
bags. What if they don't make six bags and there's no food for the
rest? Ajib Subhanallah Padula, what do we have?
We have so much to look here, and we are blessed. And I thank the
community. May Allah bless you for us to do more. We almost reached a
target of 250,000
Rand to go to Palestine in two days. Look at the barakah that
Allah put Allah afford us the opportunity. Allah could have
given us opportunity to anyone, but Allah afforded us to do that.
We let the candles burn in Aksai inshaAllah. We let the candles
burn in Akshay. This is Rasulullah. If you can't go there,
burn the fire and the candles in aksah. And that is what we trying
to do. And by aiding our brothers and our sisters Inshallah, So may
Allah reward you abundantly. Everybody that has a hand in this,
our committee, our community, everyone, oh mashaAllah, for those
who are here and those who are not here even listen, may Allah
increase you all in order for us to do more. Because inshaAllah,
when we meet Allah, we would say, Ya Allah, we were one of those who
made it possible for the candles to still burn. In Al Aqsa, you
utilize ASI Allah. So through that effort, Allah, grant us Jannah.
Grant ajna. I mean, Allah, grant you all Jannah. And when you go to
Jannah, don't forget me. Take me by the hand. Please say, Ya Allah,
that sinner there, please take him out with us, because he, at least,
you know, gave us a little bit of advice. A.
Other you will be there first. Allahumma. I mean, I will
definitely
take all of you inshallah. You.
