Wala Shah,
ILAHA, illallah, Sharika, wala, Shayna,
wana bi Yala Wahabi,
11, 1111,
subhanAllah, King, I
greet everyone
with the most beautiful greeting, the greeting of Islam, as well As
the greeting of Jannah, Asmaa,
Allah, Allah,
Allah, Allah,
how honored we are as a nation.
Oh honor we are as being part of the ummah of sallallahu alayhi wa
SallAllahu.
We praise the Lord Subhanallah in the best way, and we send our
choices salutations upon SallAllahu. Alayhi wa SallAllahu.
We are extremely honored, as we know that prior to Islam,
many things happened and transpired.
Hajj was not something which was strange to the people of their
time,
but with Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, Hajj became a
guided to the Muslims and the mukbang,
Hajj became an established time, and Hajj became an established
ritual whereby certain conditions need to be met in order for us to
get a Hajj, which is maghul and mamrool.
So how fortunate we are to be among those
whom our brethren, our brothers, our sisters in Islam, with iman as
standing at the Plains of Arafat today,
making dua, and maybe your name, but my name was mentioned
SubhanAllah.
Anything wasn't been mentioned by name, definitely by mentioning the
ummah of sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, which definitely we are a
part of. So alhamdulillah, mean for being a part of the ummah of
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
Today is a day that mark
the best day of the year in the life of a believer.
It is a day that Allah will Subhanallah takes him by,
especially the way that it is informed today, Allahu, Subhana,
wata ala says was Salah in that in buruj, Wali Obi No. Rude. Masha,
he didn't. Wamash hood, subhanAllah, Allah. Subhanahu wa
swears by this day in the Quran, may Allah says, By the sky
pertaining constellations. And then it comes and by the Promised
Day. And as the buchareen explained, that the Promised Day
is what the day of Teyana, the day of breaking it, and then Allah
subhanahu
wa this
so we know that the witness is Friday, a Juba, and
Hajj this year, out of that this year is a Juan And the witness.
And none other than the judge, like the Quran say the Quli, they
come from backgrounds. They come through difficult, trials and
tribulations, traveling and together, their finances,
preparing themselves, mentally, physically, they did this, and now
they're standing on the planes of Arafat. What is the reason for
them standing on the planes of Arafat. It's just a for those who
be made well alive. And I went, I thought, the planes of Arafat,
Allahu, Akbar, this must be huge, because billions of people are
standing there. And when I went there, they said, listen,
because in your mind, you feel that that is just the place that
you need to be at. But Raha nashawa, the planes are huge, a
space for every single one that Allah calls. And the amazing thing
is, I don't know how it happens, but the year that Alhamdulillah, I
went for Hajj, the entering.
17 there were 4.5
million people in 4.5 million Allah. But you can't fathom 4.5
million people standing together. If it's not in makatul bucharova,
you can't but then you witness it. You just see you see people,
subhanAllah, everywhere you look right, left, to the front, to the
back, we start walking into sea people. You just see people
Subhanallah,
and then this is Jabal Rahman. The people try to be on Jabal Rahman,
the African camps. And African camp was very close to Jabal
Rahman, Alhamdulillah, when I was there. So we had the opportunity
to be on Jabal Rahman as well.
But the amazing thing is Allah subhanahu wa mentions us
Abuja standing there. And what does Allah do?
We all know that later,
Allah subhanahu wa speaks about the Night of Qadr. And there to
qadal, is the night when the Quran is being revealed.
Right? This is the whose great significance in the life of a
believer. But Ramadan, we seek that night. Why we don't know when
the night is. The Prophet alayhi salatu wa salam says, Seek it in
the last 10 nights, the odd numbers of the last 10 nights, and
you will find other way. So noone really knows when it is, but ya
Allah subhanahu
wa, when is ARAVA
is the ninth of the Hijjah.
We know it's on that day. We know it is the best day of the year.
How can we not be prepared for that day? Allahu, Akbar, whether
we are a Hajj, whether we are not a Hajj, whether we have a Hajj or
not on Hajj, the ninth of the Hijra holds great significance to
us. Why Allah subhanaw taala de saints himself, what
happens there to call he says,
One rule, Subhanahu
wa
himself deceits Allah. Subhanahu wa Taala himself sends
down his Ramadan in his Nusrah. And What is
Allah doing? Allah sees the what are they doing?
They raise their hands and they start crying. So I'm crying for
what for their shortcomings. Allah should forgive them. Allah should
forgive their parents. Allah should protect their children.
Allah should aid the upper only to us that they are making
SubhanAllah. Then what Allah says, I
Allah subhanahu wa says, look at them.
What do they want?
Subhanallah, this is Allah. Allah knows exactly what we want in
desire. But Did Allah boast to a Jamal greater than this? Jamal
looking for they are standing there, giving up everything,
seeking man's forgiveness. And what is Allah's response, I have
forgiven them all of these sins. Who
would wish for that? Now imagine you have to guarantee Allah. Tell
us, if you do this, I will forgive all your sins. No doubt you don't
need to worry about it. Just do what you have to do, and then you
have no sin. Yah, for the opportunity,
isn't it? The opportunity?
What are we supposed to do? Subhanallah, the ninth of the
hijab, is out of love for them, but the remedy we also have an
Arafat. We have 10 days in Allah has given us. Allah calls the
Quran. Allah takes an oath by Chef. I want what? Lady
Ida, yes,
Allah subhanahu takes oath
by the dawn and by these 10 days,
and within those 10 days, the night of the hijja comes. Why do
we mention this? Because we know about the differences of the
opinions that happens that Allah today offer tomorrow when Eid,
we're not going to go into detail with it. What we certainly know is
that Eid was established before Hajj came? Is that true? Yes,
there was a long before Hajj came. It became fun,
and then Hajj became found. Where the eight year of Egypt. Is it not
true? Yes, it's true. Alhamdulillah, the evidences are
there,
and then what happened? It is established, and Arafat is On
which date it
and
what we have established through hadith of heading sources of the
Prophet, Ali, Salah to Asmaa. Then we take the hadith of supul,
then cite the moon
right and at the authority of RAS.
Allah, sub Allah, he mentioned. And
Buhari came
from a city into Madina, Tu Manawa, and he was surprised. He
said, Allah, our heed was bellaps. It was yesterday. The Prophet
Salla salamuala, can even say that today you with us, so you must
celebrate your heed again. What does this tell us, even in Madina,
even in Madina. Madina in Makkah, so close together,
rasulsa didn't find it important that he need to send out some
money, which he could have done on a camel or on a horse to go to
Makkah when the first of the head just Moon has been cited to make
sure and certain that mashallah, the Buddha, has been cited in
makaya, so alafa will be on this day, on that day, and it will be
on that day. What didn't take place? No, it did not take place.
It didn't transpire, right, Mashallah.
But we respect every view that there is in Islam. That
is the way of Islam. We tolerate people draw their conclusions and
their reasoning from the Quran and the Sunnah. We accept it,
although, Alhamdulillah, the majority of Muslims for same
Sharif, since the time of masala, as the mission, is mentioned in
every religion. If every region where you find yourself, you need
to psych your own move, and you must go according to that and in
that generation, every person that comes into a region, he performed
with the Jala of that region. That is the hadith of Rasulullah. And
that is why mashaAllah, we have a strong heritage. But, like we say,
whoever follows the different opinion, Alhamdulillah,
may Allah bless you. This is the way of Islam,
of our brothers who keeps aid tomorrow, may Allah bless you and
grant you an aid Saeed into the majority of us who will be having
aid on Sunday. Alhamdulillah, we need to tolerate each other. This
is the beautiful deed of Islam. This is why Arafat's day,
rasulallah came to make everything clear in our deen,
our deen is clear Subhanallah, may Allah, Subhan Allah, accept us for
everything that we follow, which comes from the Quran, the Sunnah
of the Prophet sallallahu, sallam, the Ishmael of the ulama and
Priya. These are the four sources of Islam
today, the Punjab, they stand
the owner of CY, 408684
it's a great ruler to come out to ISKCON in public. Uh,
Cy, 408684
a great so the
day of Arafat.
What do we do on the day of what does dako judge do? What does
Alpha mean?
Rafa in the Arabic language Arafat
students are deeper
Arafat needs to know, to recognize, what does dako judge
do? They recognize their weakness, they recognize that they need to
give themselves over, hand themselves over to who to a lord
that they recognize
is that not what the believer should do every day. Every day is
Arafat for the believer. Every day is Arafat for a believer. Every
day is a day that we recognize. Allah is our goal. We
recognize the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is our
leader and the one who will give us salvation if we follow Him,
because He will be the one that will be leading us and entering us
into agenda. Is this not true? So every day in the believers, life
is powerful.
Rasulullah sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam mentioned to us that
purlopani, you know, why do we wait till Arafat to see
forgiveness from Allah?
Arafa is that point whereby Allah, except only by the handful.
Everybody don't go for Hajj. Allah says, Man isapa, Ilahi, sabila,
those who are able to Allah is chosen, he will be the ones. So
every year, all of us are going for Hajj, mashaAllah, we are
fortunate. Every year we move fast. Every day we will make
salah. All of us had had the ability and are at limited to pay
zakat. We paid all those things. Is death. But Hajj is something
very, very different. Allah handpicks who we want. But the
whole journey of the believer is Hajj.
From the start till the end, we are on Hajj. We are walking and
moving towards what
how do they stand on Hajj?
Nobody has the Nike symbol, the Adidas symbol on the right side.
It, and the flip flops is Hawaiians, no, we don't have
nothing like that.
Sabihanus, abianas, nobody stands like that. Everybody stands with
the wife white
and they want sarawin. They watch in one
right then,
thou underwent
a those
who do the working hatch. I remember the brothers that walked
with a submaha. They were walking the Hajj after Arafat. They worked
normal. They come from
they work like this, people looking for Vaseline and all that.
So it's a total different ballgame if you do the walking. *,
Allah, make it easy,
but it's the best to do it to walk. And Allah, can tell you, is
a good thing to do. Some people have blessed us under their feet.
They can't walk further, right? But Allah, make it easy.
Everybody stands in unison,
exactly the same dress, with the same baksan, raising their hands
and asking, Allah, forgive us. Why do we wait till that moment?
Rasulullah, all of you are sinners. Allah has given this
something to repeat. He didn't give any
he gave us something that Allah promised to the lips of the
Prophet sallallahu salah, that
the person who is a
person who turned to Allah in repentance and received repentance
and he asked
forgiveness among communication.
But somehow
we say,
one day mahachi, so
do whatever I can do. One of the brothers said, Allah is very
merciful.
My heart.
Allah took me to Egypt
before I went for Hajj, and we landed up at the dam River.
Allah, my heart couldn't keep it. It wasn't elder because what is
happening at the now, does the belly dances? It was dancing there
for them. And then he said, Allah, and he
clearly, you must do as much as you can now, because
Allah,
we shouldn't do that, right? Muslim is always alert, because
Allah watch all the time. That might be the time where Allah
takes you, subhanAllah, and we don't want to be resurrected like
that. Imagine the name of resurrected people around you,
subhanAllah, protect us. But it is a day
where the qurcha seek forgiveness, and this should be the life of the
believer, every moment that we find that we've wronged ourselves
because we don't wrong Allah, sometimes we feel, you know, what
is tawba within Allah's not going to forgive me, as if we've wronged
Allah. We can never wrong Allah. Allah do not need our ibadah.
Allah does not need our worshiping. Allah. Don't need our
salah. Allah don't need our zakat. Allah don't need our Hajj. Allah
don't need anything from us. But we are totally
depicted of Allah,
totally SubhanAllah. Can we imagine we will not diminish any
of Allah's qualities. If we do as we please, do as you please, it
will only allow ourselves. That's why the ayah in the Quran is very,
very clear.
Says full
saying to them, oh Muhammad, saw Allah and
for
those who have wronged themselves, but those who have wronged Allah
by not worshiping Allah, they've wronged themselves. They caused
upon themselves. They're not darkness in their own lines.
Allah. Subhanaw taala says,
no day Allah, Subhanahu wa said, more than the day of alpha.
Do we know what guarantee is happening? You
know, sometimes we don't think about it, but in our life, we
can't see these things. But in another dimension, what happens?
Allah said three songs
from the Allah,
but
today is the day, the day it is stated, We know in Ramadan, we
say, Allah. Allah said, free next from hellfire. But today,
Rasulullah mentioned that is not a.
Day that Allah set free more next from the hafael than the day of
Arafat May Allah grant our names to be among them.
And Allah will write our names today and remove it from going to
hafayah, Abu narab al Arabi, and Allah will write it for us to
interject those Albini RAM, the
whole judge today. They cry for that. They cry for you and I. What
are we doing? We are left behind. There are many things that we can
do Jamar to us today, but the one outstanding thing about our habi
is that they went downsul Salam student half we just said, what
was one of the greatest events that took place? Layla to Adel
Allah subhanahu wa
said to
this,
it is under authority
of
Rama. Of um,
when a Jew came to him, but Allah, and who would say, you know,
there's a verse that has been revealed to you
that, if that verse had to be revealed to us, it would have been
a celebration today. What was the response of Allah? I know exactly
what you're talking about. Which verse
Rasulullah sallallahu was an Arafat that moment.
He was at that particular space where he mentioned this, where the
wahi came down and he mentioned it to us.
What
is this verse? Islam, and in
what a greater place, what value This verse gives to the day of
Arafat. It is not the last verse that has been revealed, but it
culminates the deed of Islam, the religion of Islam, it closed,
although akam has been closed today, but many other verses after
that two, about two years after Rasul salaam, warah, Rasulullah,
Sallam is passed on to the next life, right?
SubhanaHu, we all know what's in the last verse.
There's been really
no fear Allah, the
day that you're going to return to Allah, that was the last verse.
But on this day, the verse was, today, I have perfected for you
your way of life, your religion,
and completed upon you my favors and my blessings, and I have
chosen for you Islam as your way of life,
as your religion, subhanAllah,
this is the day, and this just brings much more worth to Arafat,
because imagine on This day, the bishop tells you, you're sitting
there with him.
And this is what we have always, always imagined being in the
company of Ibn Salah May Allah. And he's
telling you today Allah subhanahu wa says, Allah is perfected.
Subhanallah, your your deed for you
and Allah, Subhanahu wa those who said, hinder themselves to the
wonders of Allah. How do they feel that moment
and now? What does he say after that? Today, Raja
when you return from here, hajis, so when you finish today, you will
return as if it like is the day that your mother has given birth
to you. You have absolutely no sin. Allah has forgiven you all
your sins. You are purified, yes,
when Allah purify us. May Allah grant us that today, today that
our judge said in Arafat, the DUA that we pray for them when they
left to us, Allah, Judge, Allah, forgive the judge. Walibadi, stop
follow them upon judge. But ya Allah also forgive those whom they
seek forgiveness upon
they asking for forgiveness for us as well. They are the qurjaz. They
are the ones that Allah is handpicked. They are the ones that
Allah boasts to now with his banana,
Allah grant us to be standing on the planes of Allah. For those who
haven't go where Allah make it surf, those of us who go
inshaAllah, if it is that we we accepted before those who didn't
go, please give us birth. But we should give those who didn't go
yet inshaAllah, we should give
them preference. But you have to make intention. If there's people
that didn't make intention for Hajj yet, please make intention.
Now, sincerely, this is the best days Allah subhanahu wa.
City,
the next people that will send
out all of us Inshallah,
then Javad was to me our rituals that we perform here.
We engage the love of Quran.
These are the best days Allah. Subhanahu wa Taala says it will be
multiplied for you 700 times and more
we perform Salat in the masjid.
If we perform Salat in the masjid in Jamaica, what happens? Plus
minus plus 25 to 27 times reward times 1000 and times 700 and more.
Can you imagine that
one Ali mentioning is like 700 years of Ali May
Allah,
don't waste our time. There is some time.
Today is the eighth for us. Tomorrow is the ninth. Make the
best of these days. And then for those who fast either today or
tomorrow, for those who have been to tomorrow, Inshallah, for you
will fast today, yes, and we know what the reward for that is, and
for us, who will be fasting tomorrow as well,
Allah subhanahu wa forgives all your previous year since and a
year still to come as well,
the hajars will be forgiven. What is Allah giving us
a year prior as well, the coming year, we didn't even perform the
sin. Yet, Allah is so merciful. Allah subhanho wa Taala is
forgiven us already. May Allah accept ahi, how fast
guide our children. This is what we need to teach them. You know,
masha Allah, I have five children, but whenever I speak about
fasting,
he's like, Now, are we fasting? Okay, okay. They want to escape
the fast, right? But if we perpetual in this teaching, then
the Sunnah, they start to love it. They will start to love the
Sunnah, right? What is our houses like?
Time is not going to afford me this. But what is our houses like?
What are our houses like? Our houses should be like this way by
everything that we perform, which is Surah, we teach our children.
And when they perform it, we say that you do it for the sake of
Allah.
This is, this should be the reward that we give them if you do it for
the sake of Allah, You know what happened if you do it for the sake
of Allah, Allah gives you rewards. And if we instill this within
them, they will not do this because of challenging each other.
They will start doing it out of the love for Allah, because we
teach them. We're doing it for Allah sake. Allah is doing the
rewarding. But what we doing? If you do it, I'll give you a 500
I'll buy you ebooks, or what you want, a V bucks, or every school
Subhanallah for the Xbox. You know, if you do this, bring a line
the equation.
Sometimes we just need to
channel our ways that we do things. Just shift it a little
bit, and we'll see the outcome will be an outcome of noon,
an outcome of noon. What is Rasulullah? He was a Nabi that did
what he took us. And
how are you doing by making people aware of what
of the wonders of Allah? So if we are going to make our children
away of the wonders of Allah, what's going to happen? They will
be kept away from darkness, and they will come at noon to light.
It seems very difficult, but it used to work for us. So
strange it used to work for us with a stream. Used to listen
Alhamdulillah, and the outcome is good. We are all here in Juba
today.
We all come to Salah Inshallah, tomorrow morning,
tomorrow morning.
Why? Because we want to be with Abuja in unison. They're going to
perform there, if Allah Sun Inshallah, right? We also want to
share. We also want to know that we are standing in front of
something that we're facing. For those who didn't know, soon, Allah
grant us the ability to see the AMI, and for those who've seen it
already, we will see the King. See make the intention come tonight,
after mahribanshala, we have we're going to dissect the final sermon
of the Vishuddha Sabha Allah,
your whole life. Your
whole life
comes into order if you follow this final sermon that Rasul
servant has mentioned to us, then I see how that he gave
on Wadah. It's priceless. It's priceless. If you haven't read it
yet, you can start reading it today and come tonight and we will
speak about him. You know, we can one night.
Is too little to speak about the final sermon of Rasul Salam, but
we must take some regular distance from it. We need to change our
lives. You know, what does Hajj do to the when they come back, they
go to sin.
If you're the same, there's something wrong.
If you're the same, there's something totally wrong. And what
should happen with us? May Allah give us these 10 days. Cannot be
the same after this. We have to be changed individuals, and that is
why we now see it.
I would say a portion of the final servant of the messenger is Asana.
Why? Because we need to be changed. We need to take listen
something that our susas and left behind and that Allah, Subhanahu,
WA accept our difference in sha Allah, we say again that Allah,
Allah, Subhanahu wa intended
safety to their families inshallah and Allah. I also want to remind
you that last week a niya, everybody that was
here and we inshaAllah, Luka Allah, played it up. It's in the
deep days and the day of covid that
we are going to assist the king to Gateway masjid, the house of
Allah,
the house of Allah whereby people are amongst the poor and the
destitute, right?
Alhamdulillah, we've seen it. We've been there. We assess the
Alhamdulillah many times, here's an opportunity. And don't look at
the amount that you give. Just give.
Allah will multiply if you see 100 years worth, imagine you give a
500 now for 700 years, 500 you've given. And beyond that, Allah say
it doesn't stop. Still, something beyond that. Allah is home.
Inshallah, everybody makes intention to give today inshallah.
Oh, it's just a few people. Everybody makes intention to give
today inshallah. And
if you can't give back to aha for them, Allah, must let that
building stand soon, because people will worship me. And when
they start in these 10 days, as long as people make the Allah will
reward you, subhanAllah and Allah subhanahu, anyone who does this,
Allah subhanahu wa,
Forgive
us all for our shortcomings As Allah
subhanahu wa, Allah says, You
