Waseem Hendricks – AlShm, Allahs Chosen Land Part 1

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.
