Be a evil Muslim,

father now come from Minas,

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59

Jadin Abu,

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

let me communist in

00:01:03 --> 00:01:10

all the malarky today, martuq call an asylum in khalafatani, Minar,

00:01:11 --> 00:01:15

wahala kata whom you Sadaf, Allahu, Alain,

00:01:16 --> 00:01:20

in the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful, All

00:01:20 --> 00:01:23

praise is due to our Creator, our cherisher, our nourisher and our

00:01:23 --> 00:01:24

Sustainer.

00:01:25 --> 00:01:28

We bear witness. There's none worthy of worship but Allah.

00:01:29 --> 00:01:32

We bear witness. We believe in all the prophets who came throughout

00:01:32 --> 00:01:36

history. And we bear witness that Prophet, Muhammad ibn Abdullah

00:01:37 --> 00:01:43

rasulallahu alaihi wa alihi wahi wa sallam is the final of all the

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44

emissaries of Allah,

00:01:46 --> 00:01:51

Prasad, ulama, Quran, respected elders, brothers and sisters,

00:01:51 --> 00:01:55

respected youth. I greet you with the Islamic universal greeting of

00:01:55 --> 00:01:59

peace. May the peace, the mercy and the blessings of Allah and be

00:01:59 --> 00:02:03

upon each and everyone present here, assalamu, Alaikum. Wa

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

Rahmatullah wabarakatuh.

00:02:08 --> 00:02:16

There was a lecture advertised in London for a prominent Muslim

00:02:16 --> 00:02:17

speaker

00:02:18 --> 00:02:21

and a group of young young young men

00:02:22 --> 00:02:27

went to the venue and were waiting to enter the hall

00:02:29 --> 00:02:35

when one of the young men noticed a young lady dressed in short

00:02:35 --> 00:02:39

sleeves and tight jeans and had no scarf,

00:02:42 --> 00:02:46

and this young man among the group of young men was upset at the

00:02:46 --> 00:02:54

sight of this girl dressed like this, and he told his friends that

00:02:54 --> 00:02:58

he was going to approach the girl and tell her that she should Be

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00

ashamed coming to an Islamic lecture

00:03:02 --> 00:03:03

dressed like this,

00:03:05 --> 00:03:09

his friends somehow persuaded him just leave it now. Do not go and

00:03:09 --> 00:03:13

speak to her. But he was very upset. Nonetheless,

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

inside the speaker spoke,

00:03:17 --> 00:03:20

and after speaking, he took some questions,

00:03:21 --> 00:03:25

and this group of young men noticed that among the questioners

00:03:25 --> 00:03:28

standing in line to ask a question was this young lady.

00:03:30 --> 00:03:36

So when her turn came to ask a question, she said, I do not have

00:03:36 --> 00:03:40

a question. I just want to take shahada and become a Muslim,

00:03:43 --> 00:03:46

she took shahada, and we know that rasulallahu, alaihi wasallam said

00:03:46 --> 00:03:50

in the Hadith documented in the Sahih Muslim

00:03:51 --> 00:03:54

Islam, Yadi mumaqan,

00:03:56 --> 00:04:01

do you realize that embracing Islam removes all your past sins.

00:04:03 --> 00:04:04

But as they came out,

00:04:05 --> 00:04:09

one of the friends told this angry friend of his, imagine you spoke

00:04:09 --> 00:04:13

to her and belittled her before she went in the hall. She may have

00:04:13 --> 00:04:14

gone home,

00:04:16 --> 00:04:20

and now she goes home better than all of us. Not only is she Muslim

00:04:20 --> 00:04:24

like us? But all the persons have been wiped out. Let me

00:04:26 --> 00:04:27

make it very, very clear, please,

00:04:28 --> 00:04:33

press incident does not in any way imply that you mustn't rectify

00:04:33 --> 00:04:38

somebody if they are wrong of their inappropriate please don't

00:04:38 --> 00:04:45

that's not the impression, but the message here, do more than that,

00:04:46 --> 00:04:50

it teaches us that there should not be an air of moral superiority

00:04:51 --> 00:04:55

when helping or judging or guiding other people.

00:04:56 --> 00:04:58

There's a big difference between the two.

00:04:59 --> 00:04:59

You.

00:05:00 --> 00:05:03

Please, when things are done with self righteous arrogance,

00:05:04 --> 00:05:05

let problems arise.

00:05:07 --> 00:05:10

Iblis refuse to obey the commands of Allah.

00:05:12 --> 00:05:13

He was logical about

00:05:15 --> 00:05:24

it. Al Nahum in you made me from fire and you made him from dust.

00:05:25 --> 00:05:29

Of course, there's another debate. Who says that fire is better than

00:05:29 --> 00:05:33

dust, but there's something else. There's a logical debate, but

00:05:33 --> 00:05:36

there's something else, but the arrogance was and I am better.

00:05:37 --> 00:05:41

Mean, that is the issue, never mind the logical explanation you

00:05:41 --> 00:05:45

have given, the idea, the premise of his entire approach was,

00:05:46 --> 00:05:50

because I am better, whatever my reasoning, maybe you have a valid

00:05:50 --> 00:05:53

reasoning for argument's sake, for argument's sake, but the fact is,

00:05:53 --> 00:05:59

the underlying factor was anahayu. Mean, I am better than him.

00:06:00 --> 00:06:01

And this

00:06:02 --> 00:06:08

you must remember, Iblees was not ostracized or outcast because of

00:06:08 --> 00:06:09

murdering someone,

00:06:10 --> 00:06:14

nor because he stole something or committed some other crime, but

00:06:14 --> 00:06:19

because of Abba was at bar. He was arrogant, and he refused to submit

00:06:19 --> 00:06:25

to Adam, as Allah commanded him, due to his arrogance. And this

00:06:25 --> 00:06:27

comes from the notion of ojub. You know, in Islam, you have this

00:06:28 --> 00:06:32

Arabic you have an ojub. Is this idea of being so enamored by

00:06:32 --> 00:06:37

yourself, even when you are correct, become so enamored with

00:06:37 --> 00:06:40

yourself that your being correct makes you undermine other people

00:06:40 --> 00:06:44

who may not be as correct as you are on that particular point,

00:06:44 --> 00:06:48

don't forget they may be correct on many other points, because very

00:06:48 --> 00:06:51

often we judge people on the things we do. If I wear a thorough

00:06:52 --> 00:06:55

but something as long as this or short is this, I use that as a

00:06:55 --> 00:06:56

standard.

00:06:58 --> 00:07:00

But that which we don't do, we don't use it as a standard. The

00:07:00 --> 00:07:03

Prophet always smiled. People who argue with you never smile. And

00:07:04 --> 00:07:07

the Prophet always smiled that Sunnah of the smile is missing in

00:07:07 --> 00:07:08

them. It's also sunnah, by the way,

00:07:09 --> 00:07:10

completely missing in them.

00:07:13 --> 00:07:20

Mara a to Shay in saruta, I never seen anything more pleasant. No,

00:07:20 --> 00:07:23

anyone smiling more than the Prophet of Allah.

00:07:24 --> 00:07:27

So I can say it's a sunnah. Come with so many Muslims, they don't

00:07:27 --> 00:07:28

follow the Sunnah.

00:07:29 --> 00:07:33

So I choose the Sunnah which I do, and then I use that sunnah to be

00:07:33 --> 00:07:36

like a you for not doing the Sunnah that I'm doing. Be very

00:07:36 --> 00:07:40

careful. You can advise me. You can guide me, but don't make you

00:07:40 --> 00:07:44

think that you are superior. That's moral elegance.

00:07:47 --> 00:07:50

And we should realize that even when we see a fault in someone,

00:07:50 --> 00:07:54

there should not be this moral arrogance in our engagement of

00:07:54 --> 00:07:54

other people.

00:07:56 --> 00:08:01

Look at the world today, we are appalled by blatant moral

00:08:01 --> 00:08:06

arrogance of how many of the most of the western countries are

00:08:06 --> 00:08:09

dealing with the unfolding genocide in Palestine. I'm going

00:08:09 --> 00:08:13

to a global level. I'll come back to the microcosmic, back to our

00:08:13 --> 00:08:16

personal level, but just for a moment, for us to

00:08:17 --> 00:08:20

deflect. For decades, the West spoke of human rights and

00:08:20 --> 00:08:26

democracy and self determination and other moral and legal terms

00:08:26 --> 00:08:30

that they themselves have crafted and propagated to show that they

00:08:30 --> 00:08:34

are the standard bearers of Justice, the standard bearers of

00:08:34 --> 00:08:40

fairness and effort somehow to mask the atrocities that they have

00:08:40 --> 00:08:41

historically committed

00:08:43 --> 00:08:48

the moral authority that the West granted itself with which to judge

00:08:48 --> 00:08:53

and lead the world, even if misplaced and misguided because of

00:08:53 --> 00:08:56

their arrogance and self glorification,

00:08:57 --> 00:09:00

they want us to forget about The massacres that they committed to

00:09:00 --> 00:09:04

the Native Americans. 120 million. 120

00:09:05 --> 00:09:08

million Native Americans were massacred in America. 120

00:09:09 --> 00:09:12

million. Most countries don't even have their

00:09:13 --> 00:09:17

population in America, Native Americans, so called Red Indians.

00:09:18 --> 00:09:21

Columbus, went to America. He said he went to India. He went in he

00:09:21 --> 00:09:25

went to America three times. He went back, still believing he was

00:09:25 --> 00:09:26

in India.

00:09:28 --> 00:09:31

And they got a country named after him. They were never Columbus Day,

00:09:31 --> 00:09:33

a public holiday for Him, if we didn't call us idiots.

00:09:35 --> 00:09:38

But that is perhaps the standards by which people live. They

00:09:38 --> 00:09:43

colonized other people's lands in Africa, in Asia, in Latin America,

00:09:44 --> 00:09:47

and subjugated innocent inhabitants of those lands

00:09:47 --> 00:09:51

dropping atoping bombs, killing 1000s of people in the moment

00:09:52 --> 00:09:55

second and first and second world war wasn't caused in Africa,

00:09:56 --> 00:09:59

wasn't in the Middle East, wasn't in the Far East, wasn't in Latin

00:09:59 --> 00:09:59

America.

00:10:00 --> 00:10:01

It was in Europe, among Europeans.

00:10:02 --> 00:10:07

Holocaust wasn't committed by Muslims or by blacks or by browns

00:10:07 --> 00:10:10

or pinks, because by Europeans. In Europe,

00:10:13 --> 00:10:16

First and Second World War, 10s of millions of people died

00:10:17 --> 00:10:18

to add no hand in that,

00:10:19 --> 00:10:25

using the economic power and the proxy subservient leaders, they

00:10:25 --> 00:10:28

try to give a message, an impression that they have the

00:10:28 --> 00:10:30

primary right to define what values are,

00:10:31 --> 00:10:36

what is relevant, what constitutes right and wrong. Who is a

00:10:36 --> 00:10:40

terrorist and who is a freedom fighter, irrespective of whether

00:10:40 --> 00:10:45

we consider those definitions of rights that they impose on us as

00:10:45 --> 00:10:49

being unfair, non factual, immoral or unnatural.

00:10:50 --> 00:10:54

I use governmental or non governmental organizations to

00:10:54 --> 00:10:57

affect social and political mobilization to benefit Western

00:10:57 --> 00:11:02

interests and abuse humanitarian aid. We control the whole country.

00:11:02 --> 00:11:03

We still have control of the mines.

00:11:04 --> 00:11:05

That's why we still poor.

00:11:07 --> 00:11:10

They put pink faces and black faces and brown faces and top

00:11:10 --> 00:11:14

positions, but the system is still the same. Those who are poor are

00:11:14 --> 00:11:14

still poor.

00:11:15 --> 00:11:18

A few people of color have become a bit rich, and that is to appease

00:11:18 --> 00:11:19

people you

00:11:26 --> 00:11:30

the invade countries impose their will

00:11:31 --> 00:11:37

and make the citizens comply to their dictates. The current brutal

00:11:37 --> 00:11:43

attack in Gaza is indeed a most tragic situation, hospitals,

00:11:43 --> 00:11:48

schools, hospital universities. Just by the way, per capita, more

00:11:48 --> 00:11:52

people, more PhDs are produced in the land of Palestine than any

00:11:52 --> 00:11:54

country in any territory in the world.

00:11:56 --> 00:11:59

We are among the people who produce the most profound in the

00:11:59 --> 00:12:03

world. I'm talking about ratio wise. They produce more PhDs than

00:12:03 --> 00:12:08

any part of the world. Glacier wise, every university, not some,

00:12:08 --> 00:12:12

not most, every university has completely been destroyed.

00:12:16 --> 00:12:19

And then they complain that people are protesting in universities, 12

00:12:19 --> 00:12:22

universities in America. What kind of rights you know the people's

00:12:22 --> 00:12:24

interviewing people's rights you You You're upsetting people.

00:12:25 --> 00:12:28

You're massacring 1000s of people. You're worrying about sensitivity

00:12:28 --> 00:12:28

of a few people.

00:12:32 --> 00:12:34

Residential buildings have been bombed, refugee camps have been

00:12:34 --> 00:12:37

bombed. And now, as we are speaking, the last place where

00:12:37 --> 00:12:40

people have found refuge is rougher, and they're about to

00:12:40 --> 00:12:43

attack that. And of course, the Egyptian government and Jordanian

00:12:43 --> 00:12:47

Government are fully in cahoots, fully in cahoots, and Saudi Arabia

00:12:47 --> 00:12:49

fully in cahoots with the Israelis.

00:12:55 --> 00:13:00

Essential service like water, like fuel, food, electricity and

00:13:00 --> 00:13:01

internet access are cut off.

00:13:03 --> 00:13:08

You can't even collect it's illegal in America, in Palestine

00:13:08 --> 00:13:13

to collect water from the rain, it's illegal. You can't dig for a

00:13:13 --> 00:13:16

well in your own country, in your own land, you can't collect water.

00:13:16 --> 00:13:17

Is the rule.

00:13:19 --> 00:13:23

It's a law, because the water that falls belongs to the IDF, even

00:13:23 --> 00:13:24

from the sky.

00:13:26 --> 00:13:28

Nothing to do with Judaism, by the way, he's going to do a Zionism.

00:13:28 --> 00:13:34

Remember that in the past six months, 36,000 Palestinians have

00:13:34 --> 00:13:39

been killed, of which 23,000 women are women and children.

00:13:40 --> 00:13:43

Where is the morality? Where is the democracy?

00:13:44 --> 00:13:49

Where is the human rights? Where is the justice? Where is the

00:13:49 --> 00:13:51

civilization in all of this?

00:13:52 --> 00:13:55

These very people have been speaking about these civilized

00:13:55 --> 00:14:00

world versus the uncivilized world, the first world, they are

00:14:00 --> 00:14:03

so arrogant. There's no second world. It's first world and third

00:14:03 --> 00:14:05

world. There's not even a gap between them and the others,

00:14:05 --> 00:14:06

apartheid,

00:14:07 --> 00:14:10

the developed world, developing world, though they've stole all

00:14:10 --> 00:14:14

the wealth and minerals. England got the among the largest reserves

00:14:14 --> 00:14:15

of gold in the world.

00:14:17 --> 00:14:23

England doesn't have gold mines. We have all the gold mines, and we

00:14:23 --> 00:14:23

are broke.

00:14:24 --> 00:14:26

Something is wrong. Here

00:14:27 --> 00:14:30

on the imperial crown of the British stand the kohinu Diamond

00:14:30 --> 00:14:34

and the Kalinin diamond and all of these diamonds taken from lands

00:14:34 --> 00:14:37

they've conquered and people they've subjugated, thieves that

00:14:37 --> 00:14:38

they are.

00:14:41 --> 00:14:45

It all came down to one thing, so rest being the image of the ideal

00:14:46 --> 00:14:51

and the rest of the world have to live up to their standards, moral

00:14:51 --> 00:14:53

arrogance at its worst,

00:14:54 --> 00:14:57

and it's misplaced arrogance. You know, when you're arrogant and

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

your ears have something to be arrogant about, though it's a.

00:15:00 --> 00:15:02

Now, at least got something to be arrogant about. There's nothing to

00:15:02 --> 00:15:06

be elegant about. It's inhumanity of man to man.

00:15:07 --> 00:15:09

Now, coming back to ourselves at the individual level,

00:15:11 --> 00:15:16

we need to avoid moral arrogance at all cost. We need to stop

00:15:16 --> 00:15:17

undermining one another,

00:15:18 --> 00:15:20

belittling others

00:15:22 --> 00:15:26

and in arguing among ourselves until we lose not only their

00:15:26 --> 00:15:27

respect, we lose our self respect. Now

00:15:30 --> 00:15:33

belo Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu, alaihi wasallam, Hadith documented

00:15:33 --> 00:15:38

by the salon of Abu Dawud Rasulullah, said, and as I Mumbai

00:15:39 --> 00:15:45

in fear Robert Alton le mantara kal Mura wa inkana, Moha, I

00:15:45 --> 00:15:49

guarantee a house on the periphery of paradise. I guarantee a house

00:15:50 --> 00:15:54

on the periphery of paradise for the one though he is right,

00:15:55 --> 00:16:01

he avoids unnecessary hostile argumentation. Even if it's right,

00:16:01 --> 00:16:06

when he's right, debate, discuss, but hostile argumentation, I

00:16:06 --> 00:16:10

promise you a house in paradise if you can avoid that. Doesn't mean

00:16:10 --> 00:16:14

you mustn't speak up. Doesn't mean you mustn't debate because idea of

00:16:14 --> 00:16:18

hostility. And the hostility come from an idea of sometimes moral

00:16:18 --> 00:16:21

superiority. Don't try to find faults, as

00:16:23 --> 00:16:30

Imam Al Ghazali advises, kun Kal Munir walata, kunkal munafiq,

00:16:32 --> 00:16:35

be like a believer, a true believer, looking for the goodness

00:16:35 --> 00:16:39

in people. Don't be like a munafiq Looking for faults in other

00:16:39 --> 00:16:39

people.

00:16:41 --> 00:16:44

You see, if you can't be a bridge to connect the people, then don't

00:16:44 --> 00:16:49

become a wall to separate them. If you can't be a light to brighten

00:16:49 --> 00:16:53

people's good deeds, don't become a darkness covering whatever

00:16:53 --> 00:16:58

sincere efforts they may be trying to do. If you can't be water to

00:16:58 --> 00:17:03

help someone's gardens grow and the flowers grow. Don't be a pest

00:17:03 --> 00:17:07

destroying their roses. If you can't be a medication to save

00:17:07 --> 00:17:13

life, don't be a virus to destroy life. If you can't be an eraser to

00:17:13 --> 00:17:19

remove anyone's unhappiness, don't become a pen to write their

00:17:19 --> 00:17:25

sadness. If you can't be a shadow covering people's faults, then do

00:17:25 --> 00:17:29

not become a spotlight focusing on people's shortcomings in

00:17:31 --> 00:17:33

contemporary times.

00:17:35 --> 00:17:36

For dal Malana,

00:17:38 --> 00:17:43

in contemporary times, we use instruments to study and evaluate

00:17:43 --> 00:17:43

things.

00:17:44 --> 00:17:47

And one advice I want to give to those looking for faults of

00:17:47 --> 00:17:51

others, stop looking at the faults of others with a microscope. You

00:17:51 --> 00:17:53

know, we're living modern times, so everything we have an

00:17:53 --> 00:17:54

instrument.

00:17:56 --> 00:17:59

So the instrument, we can use a microscope and look in people's

00:17:59 --> 00:18:02

faults. But the problem is, we look at other people's fault of

00:18:02 --> 00:18:05

the microscope, and we look at our fault of the telescope very far

00:18:05 --> 00:18:06

away, very far away.

00:18:07 --> 00:18:08

You see, you

00:18:09 --> 00:18:12

know, what's the best thing to look for? Faults? Look in your

00:18:12 --> 00:18:13

mother.

00:18:14 --> 00:18:15

There's a best place to look

00:18:17 --> 00:18:18

and begin there.

00:18:21 --> 00:18:22

I always say

00:18:23 --> 00:18:27

note that there's so much goodness in the worst of us. There's so

00:18:27 --> 00:18:31

much goodness in the worst of us, and so many shortcomings in the

00:18:31 --> 00:18:37

best of us, that it does not behold us. It's not for any of us

00:18:37 --> 00:18:42

to try to find fault with the rest of us through Qadr al jiraika So

00:18:42 --> 00:18:43

Allah

00:18:45 --> 00:18:48

Imam Azadi documents in Allah Alam attributed

00:18:53 --> 00:18:56

genius of Spirituality, master of spirituality,

00:19:00 --> 00:19:05

a person with a tremendous generosity of spirit, depth of

00:19:05 --> 00:19:05

knowledge,

00:19:07 --> 00:19:07

because the Imam,

00:19:09 --> 00:19:13

even of the hanabila, referred to him as the Imam, even those who

00:19:13 --> 00:19:17

ended the SOF and so on, May Allah guide them. But the point is, even

00:19:17 --> 00:19:19

they acknowledge that he is the sheik,

00:19:20 --> 00:19:23

the knowledge I'm talking about your knowledge. Just to show these

00:19:23 --> 00:19:27

his understanding, the Sei, for example,

00:19:28 --> 00:19:32

and he gave words of advice, embodying the highest standard of

00:19:32 --> 00:19:34

social social humility,

00:19:36 --> 00:19:39

not humiliation. Humility is different from humiliation.

00:19:40 --> 00:19:43

Humility, says, is

00:19:44 --> 00:19:46

how we should engage one another.

00:19:47 --> 00:19:48

He said,

00:19:52 --> 00:19:53

Enough, sick.

00:19:56 --> 00:19:58

John, one. Ila.

00:20:00 --> 00:20:02

Had in Illah water and Al

00:20:03 --> 00:20:09

falas dari enough sack. Whenever you see people, you assume there's

00:20:09 --> 00:20:12

something about them that is good, that may be better than yours.

00:20:13 --> 00:20:17

And if you see someone small, a youngster,

00:20:19 --> 00:20:22

Allah, say to fellow Shaq,

00:20:24 --> 00:20:29

if I see someone little, a young person, I say he's small. He has

00:20:29 --> 00:20:33

never Abu, disobeyed Allah, so small and I have sinned. He is

00:20:33 --> 00:20:35

definitely better than me.

00:20:36 --> 00:20:39

He said, Wait a Kabir and

00:20:40 --> 00:20:45

mini Abu Dhabi. If some someone old say he has been worshiping

00:20:45 --> 00:20:49

Allah long before me. I'm sure he's better than me. What in

00:20:49 --> 00:20:55

writing to alimon, pull the harder. Wabala, ramala, wa ali,

00:20:55 --> 00:21:02

Mama. If I see a knowledgeable person, I say he has been given

00:21:02 --> 00:21:05

what I don't have. He has knowledge that I don't have ever

00:21:05 --> 00:21:07

reached a state of knowing which I don't know.

00:21:11 --> 00:21:13

And he knows what ignorant How can I better than him?

00:21:15 --> 00:21:20

We're in Kana jahilan. If you meet somebody who's ignorant. Kolkahada

00:21:20 --> 00:21:25

As Allah, this man is, he's ignorant, and when he send, he

00:21:25 --> 00:21:30

send out of ignorance, and I have some knowledge, and I've sinned

00:21:30 --> 00:21:32

against Allah with the knowledge that I am,

00:21:33 --> 00:21:38

and the proof of Allah against me is more than the proof against

00:21:39 --> 00:21:41

him. Well, in

00:21:42 --> 00:21:52

kultri, Asa, IU Kamala, hubihayan, salabi,

00:21:53 --> 00:21:56

Islam. He means, come

00:21:58 --> 00:22:01

at unshareful

00:22:02 --> 00:22:04

for

00:22:05 --> 00:22:12

yakuna, Minal, mukherabin or an aku, naminal, muba, Adin, he says.

00:22:12 --> 00:22:13

And if I see a person of

00:22:15 --> 00:22:19

no faith or hasn't got faith, was unbelieving, I said, I don't know,

00:22:19 --> 00:22:25

maybe Allah will guide him, as he may end up doing good deeds is

00:22:25 --> 00:22:26

better than the deeds I've done,

00:22:28 --> 00:22:31

and he may reach a stage that I haven't reached, in His goodness.

00:22:32 --> 00:22:36

As for me, I may become misguided or deviant in my own ways, and I

00:22:36 --> 00:22:38

may end up disbelieving,

00:22:39 --> 00:22:41

and then his ending will be better than my ending.

00:22:42 --> 00:22:44

So let no person look down upon another.

00:22:46 --> 00:22:50

May Allah make us, whether we judging people ourselves or

00:22:50 --> 00:22:51

internationally,

00:22:52 --> 00:22:56

may Allah make us of those beloved to Allah and His Prophet

00:22:58 --> 00:23:01

and our beloved Prophet, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam,

00:23:01 --> 00:23:05

describe those who are beloved to him in a hadith, the Prophet saw

00:23:05 --> 00:23:10

them said in a Habakkuk mini Majlis and Yom al qayyma

00:23:11 --> 00:23:20

Aha sinuk, halaka al Muay una aknafa aladina Ya Lafon away said

00:23:20 --> 00:23:25

salaam Alaihi Wasallam, surely the most loved of person to me is the

00:23:25 --> 00:23:29

one with the best character and the best behavior. And of course,

00:23:29 --> 00:23:33

the Hadith says he'll be sitting closest to me. The person most

00:23:33 --> 00:23:37

loved to me and closest to me in sitting on the day of qiyama, will

00:23:37 --> 00:23:40

be the person the best character and the best behavior, one who

00:23:40 --> 00:23:41

embodies humanity

00:23:43 --> 00:23:48

and who is loving and lovable. The

00:23:49 --> 00:23:49

Prophet

00:23:51 --> 00:23:57

says Allah, a believer is loving and lovable. There's no goodness

00:23:57 --> 00:24:01

in one who neither loves nor allows himself to be loved, and

00:24:01 --> 00:24:04

the best of people are those who are most beneficial to humanity.

00:24:05 --> 00:24:09

So he says, people who are most loved. To me, Rasulullah

00:24:09 --> 00:24:12

sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam said, and closest to me in seating on

00:24:12 --> 00:24:16

the day of qiyama, those with a good character, the best behavior,

00:24:16 --> 00:24:21

those who embody humility, those who are loving and lovable, who

00:24:21 --> 00:24:23

are in Abu habakku,

00:24:24 --> 00:24:27

mini Majlis and Yo, I mean the people most I find most

00:24:27 --> 00:24:30

distasteful and will be furthest from me,

00:24:33 --> 00:24:36

who Are

00:24:37 --> 00:24:43

those, those who go around belittling other people and

00:24:43 --> 00:24:43

slandering them,

00:24:45 --> 00:24:48

those causing division between loved ones

00:24:49 --> 00:24:54

and those who seek fault with people a call yahada guastafu

00:24:54 --> 00:24:57

Allah masala walaikum wa rahmatullahi.

00:25:04 --> 00:25:10

Mashallah to Abu LAV, masha Allah, who once again came to honor us

00:25:10 --> 00:25:12

with his presence. And what a beautiful talk that Sheik has

00:25:12 --> 00:25:16

given us. May Allah, except from Shaykh Inshallah, allow Sheik

00:25:17 --> 00:25:21

to grow from strength to strength and all the beautiful, sterling

00:25:21 --> 00:25:23

work the sheik is doing. Mashallah, give Sheik the health

00:25:23 --> 00:25:27

and the strength to keep on doing that. Amin ya rabal alameen, just

00:25:27 --> 00:25:30

a few announcements. Jamaat al muslime, we have, once again

00:25:30 --> 00:25:34

00:25:35 --> 00:25:38

we reach out to the entire community Inshallah, to come

00:25:43 --> 00:25:46

know we should be shy in the way that we gather for our brothers

00:25:46 --> 00:25:49

and sisters in Palestine, the universities overseas. Masha

00:25:49 --> 00:25:53

Allah, it, it stirred something in our university students. Now I saw

00:25:53 --> 00:25:55

this morning in Stellenbosch, masha Allah,

00:25:57 --> 00:26:01

how everyone, masha Allah, is standing and shouting the new,

00:26:01 --> 00:26:05

beautiful chantings, you know, in solidarity with our Palestinian

00:26:05 --> 00:26:08

brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers and children in Palestine,

00:26:08 --> 00:26:11

may Allah, reward them for the efforts. Amin ya rapa Alamin, but

00:26:11 --> 00:26:14

for us, you know, soften our hearts. Don't say that it's

00:26:14 --> 00:26:18

awkward time. Say that I will make time. I will come. I will come

00:26:18 --> 00:26:21

Inshallah, and we will stand together with nilaita, varakawa,

00:26:21 --> 00:26:25

taala, and we will prove a point that we will stand with what is

00:26:25 --> 00:26:28

right. Sheik Masha Allah, also touch base on a few of those.

00:26:28 --> 00:26:31

Masha Allah, let us not be of those who will be deprived of

00:26:31 --> 00:26:35

this. Amin ya rabal alameen, and then tonight, Inshallah, at the

00:26:35 --> 00:26:39

certain things for sale as well, Inshallah, and all the proceeds

00:26:52 --> 00:26:56

00:26:56 --> 00:27:01

for that. And then, once again, you know, as we've launched last

00:27:01 --> 00:27:05

week that we attending to the needs of our community, once

00:27:05 --> 00:27:09

again, our growing community to create additional space in

00:27:13 --> 00:27:16

property in Alhamdulillah. We are in the process of that. We need to

00:27:16 --> 00:27:19

have 3 million Rand by the 31st of May.

00:27:21 --> 00:27:25

The giggles. I love the giggles. A lovely Wallahi. We've proved this

00:27:25 --> 00:27:27

in the past. When did we prove this in covid?

00:27:29 --> 00:27:32

In covid 19, you know, we made an announcement, and our community

00:27:32 --> 00:27:36

came in three weeks. Was it three months? The building at the back

00:27:36 --> 00:27:41

that you see there was standing three months the Allah, open up

00:27:41 --> 00:27:45

your hearts once again. This is an opportunity. We can see how the

00:27:45 --> 00:27:48

masjid look. People are sitting outside. You know, in sha Allah,

00:27:48 --> 00:27:51

we try to make things easy for our Mu salun, Inshallah, that when

00:27:51 --> 00:27:54

they come in, we are one of the masajid. Alhamdulillah, we say

00:27:54 --> 00:27:59

this as Rasul say, Bella faqr. We are not boastful, but our Masjid

00:27:59 --> 00:28:03

is growing, and it's growing. And our Masha Allah, not only big

00:28:03 --> 00:28:07

nights and Jumuah, but it's becoming a trend that even our QAT

00:28:07 --> 00:28:12

are being Masha Allah filling our Masjid. This is a good, good, good

00:28:13 --> 00:28:19

sign from Allah. So I urge everyone, if you are not yet

00:28:19 --> 00:28:22

coming to the masjid for the Oh god, you're missing out.

00:28:23 --> 00:28:26

Somebody yesterday came to tell me we had a Nikah. And they come all

00:28:26 --> 00:28:29

the way from the southern Sabbath after Isha. They said,

00:28:29 --> 00:28:32

SubhanAllah. It was so far we thought, Ya Allah. But he said it

00:28:32 --> 00:28:35

was a moment worth it. Why? Because when I entered the masjid,

00:28:36 --> 00:28:40

I felt a sense of peace. I felt felt a sense of belonging. He

00:28:40 --> 00:28:43

said, certain masajid, you go in, it just, you know, you don't feel

00:28:43 --> 00:28:48

welcome. You know, it's not Allah Majid, there's no darkness. But he

00:28:48 --> 00:28:50

said, sometimes you go in and you just feel that, you know, I must

00:28:50 --> 00:28:53

just get in and get out. But he said, Yeah, even his son, that is

00:28:53 --> 00:28:56

small and young, he said, Daddy, we don't want to leave. We must

00:28:56 --> 00:29:00

stay here a little bit more. It's so nice. So this is what we try to

00:29:00 --> 00:29:04

create a tuba, Allah allow us all to stand under tuba The Day of

00:29:04 --> 00:29:07

Qiyamah. But before we can stand under that tuba, we need to fill

00:29:07 --> 00:29:11

this tuba. May Allah allow us to do that. Amin, arapala, Alamin. So

00:29:11 --> 00:29:15

Inshallah, a collection is starting today. Open your hearts.

00:29:15 --> 00:29:18

Be generous. And Walla Allah is more generous than us. So if you

00:29:18 --> 00:29:24

give Allah will give you more ever assist in building the house of

00:29:24 --> 00:29:28

Allah will do similar for you. In the year after, you will have

00:29:28 --> 00:29:31

castles in Jannah. You will not know where it come from, but it's

00:29:31 --> 00:29:34

because of that small, little contribution that you made to the

00:29:34 --> 00:29:37

house of Allah. Allah allow us to be a part of that. And then a

00:29:37 --> 00:29:39

beautiful program is running where

00:29:40 --> 00:29:44

the ladies. Masha Allah only for our ladies. Masjid uma Atari has a

00:29:44 --> 00:29:47

program in sha Allah, Tala, Saturday the fourth of May,

00:29:48 --> 00:29:52

starting after duhar. So be present for duha, for our ladies.

00:29:52 --> 00:29:54

Inshallah, encourage your daughters to go. Encourage your

00:29:54 --> 00:29:58

mothers, your sisters to go. Inshallah, Quran program will be

00:29:58 --> 00:29:59

there inshaAllah start.

00:30:00 --> 00:30:00

Thing after the world.

00:30:02 --> 00:30:04

But Inshallah, we urge our ladies to be there for the world. Salah.

00:30:04 --> 00:30:07

Inshallah, that will be masjid, Ummah in otri. I mean, ya rabal

00:30:07 --> 00:30:11

alimin. And then we make dua for our Sikh in our community. First

00:30:11 --> 00:30:16

of all, nuribai, who is not really enjoying the best of health. You

00:30:16 --> 00:30:19

know, he was a treasurer for many years, still still alive. If you

00:30:19 --> 00:30:21

go to him, he's still concerned about the Masjid. How is things at

00:30:21 --> 00:30:24

the masjid? How's everyone in the masjid? How is everything coming

00:30:24 --> 00:30:27

about? So make lots of dua for him. He's not enjoying the best of

00:30:27 --> 00:30:31

health. May Allah guide the hands of the doctors in sha Allah, and

00:30:31 --> 00:30:34

may we see him soon again do what he does brilliantly, and that is

00:30:34 --> 00:30:37

serving the community. As Sheik has mentioned. Mentioned the best

00:30:37 --> 00:30:40

of you are those who serve humanity in sha Allah. He's

00:30:40 --> 00:30:42

definitely one of those. And then we have also

00:30:45 --> 00:30:48

the dua for our learners who is currently writing, you know, we

00:30:48 --> 00:30:51

know the end of the year is a big fuss of writing matric, but we

00:30:51 --> 00:30:54

also have some of them that are writing now the matric exams. So

00:30:54 --> 00:30:57

inshallah Tala, for those who are writing malo Tala, guide their

00:30:57 --> 00:31:00

hands and grant them success in their studies and in the endeavors

00:31:00 --> 00:31:02

further and the decision making. Inshallah, may Allah make it easy

00:31:02 --> 00:31:06

for them to prosper in their future endeavors. Amin, rapa,

00:31:06 --> 00:31:10

Alamin, and then we have a dua for a certain little girl. She's only

00:31:10 --> 00:31:14

22 years old. Ya Allah, this really shook my heart. It brought

00:31:14 --> 00:31:19

our eyes to tears that a girl of 22 years old has been diagnosed

00:31:19 --> 00:31:24
