Alhamdulillah.
Alhamdulillah, When Abu, Begin a
I greet everyone with the
most beautiful greeting, the greeting of Islam as well as the
greeting of Jannah. Salama Ali Kumar, Ahmed Allah, He tell Allah
Ketu
Alhamdulillah. Is everyone doing
mashaAllah, beautiful Alhamdulillah. As we see Allah,
it is truly enveloping us. You know, we had some beautiful
weather where Allah reminded us that who's in control.
There's even a day where our children's school came to a
standstill. Ya Allah in the past few years. How Allah show us how
insignificant we are when it comes to the greatness of Allah,
we can never, ever compare ourselves to our maker, our
Creator, our Sustainer, our Naisha, our cherish Allahu,
Tabara, kawatailah,
ala Taala dish out remind us, for us every single time, and it is
for us to take heed
that one day you are going to return to this great being. Allah,
the signs that I giving you,
are you listening and taking care and taking note.
And why Allah gives Subhanallah just think about it. Why does
Allah gives us reminders,
if we really think about it, Allah gives us reminders because Allah
does not want to punish us.
Allah does not want to punish us. You know, sometimes Subhanallah,
we have people that everything that they do, you know, they try
to remind you of the punishment of Allah. And that is contrary to the
Sunnah
the Prophet Muhammad SAW, never, you know, when he heard people or
saw some people doing the wrong thing. You're going to help
because you're doing that. You're going to jahannam because you're
doing it, Allah is going to punish you. That was not the way of
rasulallah. You always had a heart towards the next person, even
though they've done wrong. Yusall Allah Alam will always approach
them in a manner that's befitting to him being SallAllahu, alaihi
wasallam. And who was he? Illa rahmat al ilamin. He came as a
mercy. He showed mercy, not that. He did not remind people as Allah,
to Allah, is clear in the statement Muhammad
Sawan wa nadirah, he was amazing. Subhanallah, you know now I know I
must look out for the cow. If you ever start with a cow again? Then
I must know. And then the next day, he came and the Imam say,
okay, as habiliel, the guy broke his Salah and ran out why? He
said, If the cow was so long, what's about the elephant?
Subhanallah, but the elephant is very short, you know? But he
didn't know.
And he started running. He said, no worries. I'm going to stand
behind this Imam again. Allah knows best. It's a Muslim do that
to us. Inshallah, that mashallah so we find ourselves in a
situation. You know we have, Allah have certain expectations with us
as well as Allah had expectations with all the ambiya, khalilah,
khalim, Allah. You know how we would love to speak? No. Allah
gave so many titles to his Ambia Rasulullah, sallAllahu, Habib
Allah Habibullah, Allahu Akbar, what we would give to become the
Beloved of Allah? And Allah gives us an answer. You want to become
beloved by me in quantum, Allah, you want Allah's love at the only
follow my beloved SallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, and then your
bib come Allah, and I will love you,
Allah. May Allah allow us to love him, Allah, and also to receive
Allah's love in return.
Can you imagine you are loved by Allah, and you ask Allah for
something? What would happen? Allah will give you.
Allah loved Rasul Assam. Allah gave him.
But what we know about gift? What is the gift that Allah give? Allah
gave Rasul Assam, the gift of perseverance.
Allah Abba him endurance
taking
punishment from the creation,
but the sweetness that it tasted when it came to the rewards of
Allah upon him. It's just something different.
It's something so different, you know, if you listen to the one
story of the Palestinian man, a man, a big man, Allahu Akbar
having his last conversation with his mother, last conversation,
imagine, you know, the enemy is here.
They bombing and shooting and is coming, and he decides, right. I
need to make a right with my mother. Who would think like that?
Only people with iman can think like that. The man at Iman, he
thought, yes,
lost, what am I going to
do? Illa, yeah, I worshiped Allah. Ya Allah, I'm happy leaving this
world. But he remembered wabil, Walid, yasana. I still have a
mother. She's gonna worry about me.
She is worrying about me because I'm currently in the battlefield.
And as you speak, bomb, that's what's happening. You know, it's
literally in the battlefield. And what does he say? Oh, my beloved
Mother, I'm asking you, Ma, for every wrong that I have done to
you.
I'm asking you to make dua for me, because today is not the day that
I die. Today is the day of Shahada.
Today is a day that I'm happy to meet my Creator, Allah, which you
have nurtured me to love. What a conversation it will bring tears
to your eyes. My heart can't keep it now just, you know, just
speaking about it, I want to shed but I need to be strong for you.
This is who we are,
Muslim, Allah,
what a gift it is to say, I'm a Muslim.
We are mukmin. We are believers. What the gift it is to say, I'm a
mukmin, I'm the believer.
Allah has an expectation
when it comes to you and AHIMA to Muslim, what is the expectation?
Allah has got such high aspirations and expectations from
us that Allah gives us special times.
You know? What is it? How adequately can we prepare
ourselves for a year.
You know what is the best way to look at the previous year?
Who am I?
What did I do? 1445 has come and 1445 has gone. It came and it
left. What did I do? Am I is a soul that is connected to Allah?
Am I a better person than 1444 because 1444 left and 1445 came
now and find myself in the beginning of 1446
What am I going to do?
Oh, how am I going to prepare for this year? What did the Prophet
Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam? Do you know what he did?
Pray.
He made dua and cry to Allah.
Prayed.
Do we pray? What is prayer to us? Like we said, the Imam reads too
long. Imam reads too short, that every we're looking for excuses
upon excuses upon excuses upon excuses. Well, it should be
something that we cut ourselves off this world. I don't care what.
I don't care nothing.
If Allah want the Imam to read surah.
Car today. What are we going to do? We're going to leave Juma.
We're going to live very upset this because Imam, he's got no
islahan Allah. But also the Imam must be silly to read to raka
SubhanAllah. You know, people need to go back to their lives. Need to
go and work. So we have a beautiful, beautiful religion, as
Allah says, Ali Omar Akman to lakh I alumina,
I've perfected your religion for you, the messenger Salam would
never, ever read to rakaf in Jummah. He would frown upon it. He
will say, What is wrong with this Imam, this Imam? You know, he's
the God no heart.
He needs to consider others as Aisha Allah Sallam is considered
others. It's
Subhanallah, but let us be of those whom Allah mentioned in the
Quran
that we are the people who waka, dalika, Jain, Matan, wasatah. We
are a very moderate nation. If it is the Imam, RAID, five ayahs,
more. 10 is more. We're not going to moan about it. Not too long,
not too short. Alhamdulillah, we happy, so we are not going to
complain. But Wallahi, we have people every Juma,
every Juma, and it's not that every Juma is the same. Sometimes
circumstances happen, but every Juma, somebody's got something
negative to say about the Juma. Why did we come for Juma? Ali?
Wallahi, I'm telling you, is Juma today,
but every week, Allah is my witness, not only in this masjid,
in all the masajid, when people leave, it won't be positive
comments that will be made about the Juma, but negative comments
and Wallahi, what did we come and do at Juma?
Ajib, a aji. You know? Can you imagine the Prophet sallallahu,
sallam, standing here today and explaining the whole tafsir of
Surah Kahf, because that was what he loved in Juma, he would speak
about Surah Kahf. You know what Surah Kahf is about? QI Yama. You
will not be standing here and you need to get to work. But you gonna
say
ajib? And that is what Juma is the content that is discussed here. It
is from Allah and His Rasool.
And the content here that the Imam discussed, it is inspired by Allah
Wallahi. I tell you that because the Imam knows what's happening in
society and in this community, and he needs to speak. Any Imam that
doesn't speak about things that's happening in the society in his
community is not a true reflection of the Imam of that community.
May Allah strengthen our Imam
and our ulama inshaAllah, and us as followers, may Allah strengthen
us in and increase us in our Imams, that we can stand together.
You know, the Palestinian thing opens up so many things for us.
Where a little boy was crying when he was sitting by the corpse of
his father. What
was his father's desire for him? He must become a Khatib, a Ilim of
din and an imam.
And as he hold his father in his hands, and he's only 13 years old,
and he says, Yeah, ABUTI, my beloved father, who is going to
wake me up for Fajr now,
who is going to teach me how to be an imam now?
Who is this his father? What fathers are with our kids?
What do we want from our children? So much, so much stress is upon
our kids today that they must have that profession and that
profession, and absolutely no. Deen basis. Ya Allah, what do we
want for our kids? Yeah, a Palestinian child proved to us
once again. No, we don't. We don't know our Palestinian brothers. I
had the privilege, and Alhamdulillah, a few of our
brothers was with I had a niqa that I performed of two people
that came from huzzah two months ago, just yesterday. Was
yesterday, Wednesday, Wednesday, like coming from they explained to
me, subhanAllah, the feeling sitting in a masjid,
not needing to needing to worry that the bomb is gonna fall. Am I
gonna die? They said, You know what? They said, it's it feels
abnormal for him.
What is normal to them, knowing that I'm entering and I might die
normal in a Palestinians like this, normal, enter my house, I
might die. Enter wherever the marketplace, I might die. Enter
into the masjid I might die. They said it's a very strange feeling.
I made the DUA. Lam, Zim, hum, waza, hum, Allah, shake the rock
the boat of the Zionist. You know, the father came to me, and he's
like Ya Allah, you made a very beautiful dua to Allah. SWT, but
masim, you be specific. You know, he wanted me to be specific. He
said, say
the
Israelis, why is reality that they live? They live this. That.
We are seeing. And can you imagine our emotions, we love, we our
emotions. We can't be it by seeing these images only. It's only via
social media. These people were literally there in the front line.
The abnormality is, if I entered this masjid, I'm going to die.
Yeah, they're sitting there like the peace. It's something I don't
know. I can't explain it to you. And my tears started to roll
because I'm thinking, Allahu Akbar, I have a true mujahi In
front of me, a man that lost his children already, a man that lost
his mother, his siblings. And yeah,
I'm sitting I can go home, and everything is fine. Two months
they are in South Africa, they say they love it.
Allah, bliss South Africa, Inshallah, especially Cape Town
and Johannesburg and Durban. Alhamdulillah, Allah, blissly mean
adequately. How do we prepare? Pray, make dua. Never stop making
dua to Allah. Dua, muhla ibadah. It's the essence of ibadah. And
then persevere. You're going to get ups and downs, and you're
going to get people that's going to stand against you if you find
yourself on Haqq, don't worry about those who stand against you,
because Allah is with you.
Those who stand on Haq, remember Allah is with you,
and many will come and stand against you, because standing for
the truth is not easy. What happened 60 odd years after the
Prophet saws demise, an individual said, na Hussain came
the grandchild of the Prophet, saw Allah He
had a choice, either I give in to the oppressor,
and what would what impression would that have given? But what
did he say? I stand on the heart and the religion of Allah and the
way of my grandfather, so Allah and
you stood for that. Can you imagine 70 odd people standing
against an army of over 30,000
What injustice that was. But he stood for justice, and he died
that day.
Did he die? No, we are the manifestation of him being alive.
Today.
We stand for what Imam Al Hussain as stand stood for. We stand for.
We stand for justice. Do we stand for Haqq? Do we stand for justice?
Allah, Allah number two
is number two, number three.
What is number three? Empower yourself with Islamic knowledge.
Empower yourself with Islamic knowledge. Knowing your deen, it
is so important the Prophet saw them say, talayah, kulli,
muslimin, in another narration, one Muslim,
the Prophet Muhammad SAW its incumbent upon you too, to seek
knowledge on every male and every female.
It's felt.
He's stressed upon it, go and seek knowledge. Everybody's got a lot
to say. My teacher, Marshall, I always used to say so beautifully.
Kulumanhabawa, daba, every Tom, Dick and Harry, they are muftis.
The scholars themselves. They are students, scholars. You can ask
any scholar. You ask them, Are you an alim?
I'm a student of Deen, but as a guy that read the English version
of Bukhari today, the English Quran today, listening to a
YouTube clip today. But what do you know
he's talking to somebody that said, said by somebody that said
by somebody that said, set by somebody that said they took from
Rasulullah. He's challenging that man.
But I had moved to Google said that, who are you to say? You
can't tell us Allahu, Akbar. And as the strange thing I always
mention is if those two scholars, the one that he's arguing with and
the scholar that's on YouTube. If they come together, they have such
a beautiful conversation, because they understand the dynamics, the
dynamics of the Sharia. They understand what is Dali. They
understand where the next person is coming from. And they
understand if the life of the Ummah, it is a rahma,
but a person come, Imam a Shafi IRA, him, Allah,
nasrul, umm,
the one who came to aid the Dean the court that is his lock up that
they know that nickname that he received, Sheik Abu Imam,
buchanifa, Sheik Islam. They are all beautiful titles
now, DEEN can imagine that the one who aid the deen of Allah in His
ways, he says that if a Sahabi should come in my presence today,
Imam Asha, he said this,
and he invites me for a debate. I will debate him. And I'm so
confident I.
With what I've achieved and acquired, I'll probably win the
sahabi confidence of our Imam. But he says, But if a jahill Come to
me today, ignorant person, and he takes me on in a debate, I'll
probably lose,
because that guy didn't want to hear about the his mind is made
up. I'm right and you're wrong, and that is the order of today.
People of knowledge come, they tell you something. And
that is the scary part today. Scary part is the Prophet saw some
says that there's going to come a time when a person is going to
come with you with truth, and people's going to make Him a liar.
And the people who are Kab liars today, the military government
present themselves and the people will take them as Sadiq, as people
that are truthful, and fear for that day.
Fear for that day Allah, His messenger, Allah, does not take
the knowledge away from the people by removing the books. But how
Allah take them ulama? By taking the ulama and removing the Ulama
among them, we are so grateful that we have lots of great, great
ulama in our midst.
We have Wallahi. We are so blessed. And every year we have
institutions that produce ulama in Ahmed's in Cape Town in
Johannesburg in Durban in South Africa. Allah Akbar, Allah, truly
is gazing upon this nation
and around the world as well. But who would have thought here
southern trip of South Africa in Cape Town, we are able to produce
for five Qura, ulama, shuyu, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's happening here.
Allah Akbar. This is only Allah. Allah shows
that wherever I want when Allah subhanahu wa wants his deemed to
be taken forth. And nobody can stop that.
An article, you go to an article so called the Iceland, you find
Muslims. There you can go where the dwarangsir
Pekan come from. You understand
they
find Muslims. Everywhere you find Muslims. How is this possible?
This is a legacy, a legacy that always imagine Allah. Allah says
in the Quran that they're trying to extinguish the light of Allah,
but Allah say, WA ya ballah. Can you imagine strong words, but
Allah refuse.
Allah refuse for anyone to try to blow out the light of Allah, who's
gonna who's gonna battle Allah, who's gonna have war with Allah?
Come try everyone. They try to do it in the past. Where are they
today?
They in disgrace and Allah disgrace us.
Sober, brothers, Pray, brothers, equip yourself with Islamic
knowledge,
that is what is going to take us to salvation in this life and in
the next life.
I always mention this, whoever runs after dunya, the dunya ran
away from me.
Quran wanted all the dunya in the world, Allah snatched it away from
him. Arun had all the wealth in the world. Allah snatched it away
from him, but then you get Muhammad, sallAllahu,
alayhi wa. He wanted no wealth in the world, but Allah gave him a
legacy of Islam and Muslims,
and who tried to extinguish the fire they try to get rid of the
Muslims, SubhanAllah. How many years is the war going on in
Palestine? I sat now that I'm thinking they bombed and they
bombed and they bombed and they bombed Raza and Han Yunus and Rafa
and everywhere. But you still hear 2 million, 3 million in Paris,
million and just saves millions.
And so may Allah never let the number dwindle and become small.
But I've never heard a small number when it comes to
Palestinians. That is the greatness that Allah gives to
these nations that stand for Allah. And then you can ask the
minority in the southern tip, if we speak the government. Listen,
aji minority, why? Because of what? Because of him, sallAllahu,
sir, why? Because of his legacy? And what is the legacy? Because
our forefathers what they have stood for, and today we need to
stand for that. And so today, our ulama engage the government, and
some people have big problems with this. How can you engage with the
person that is not Allah Akbar, the prophet engaged
the professor. Made meetings the Prophet,
no, there was conversation that took place with the opponents. We
must always and how did he do it with rahmah? The.
Eventually, masha Allah, Islam was enough, or you. Tim alike,
mustache, William
Surak,
Allah, Nasrin Aziza, this is what happens,
just following Allah and His messenger. Saw Allah, allow us to
be of those. We need to get back to that nation. You know how that
nation was? They listened to Allah and they listened to his
Messenger, and they became the greatest of people of their time.
And we have the opportunity and the ability to become the greatest
of people of our time. You know why? A small little group of
people there in Palestine? What
did they do? They shook the world. And if you go to Australia, to UK,
to America, everywhere, every time people enter the masjid, they say
a shadu, Allah, ILA, illallah,
Muhammad, Abdul, every
week. I receive this messages from friends of mine in Australia, in
Canada, every week. And if they ask them why, the only thing they
say is, because of the Palestinians, we embrace Islam. So
there's not only Palestinian Muslims, we are also Muslims. So
because of our efforts and our sacrifices, also. It can happen
when everyone around the globe can also become Muslim and moving
Inshallah, Allah accept our efforts and our sacrifices. I
mean, I mean Amina ya rab, Ali, Jamaat Rumi,
may Allah allow us to be of those that are true, true followers of
Sayyidina Muhammad SAW and may we be of those who will pray. Pray
for what? Pray for the goodness in this world. Pray for the goodness
of our brothers and our sisters, and pray for the goodness of life
and inshaAllah, we will have patience with Allah's decree. We
will not become despondent because things is not happening the way
that we want it to happen. No, Allah in the home
Keita, really, they they plot, and they plan, and Allah says, what?
Well, a key do keda, but I'm also plotting and I'm also planning.
Oh, yeah, why am Quran? Why am qur law Allahu, marketing? And as they
plan, and as Allah plan, Allah is the best of plan is the plan
Subhanallah will only play out the way Allah wants you to play no
matter what they do.
So let them try and what they and do whatever they do. InshaAllah
bliss all of us inshaAllah and bless our progeny, that they must
at least be of those who say, Allah, illa, illallah, Muhammad,
Rasulullah sallamiyahs to me just a few announcements.
Okay. The first one is brothers, please stand and please fill the
gaps. It's raining. It's raining outside Allah. Make it easy for
those who are outside. Inshallah, if you can fill all the gaps

it easier for them, Allahu, Akbar, and we can be a part, you know,

reward him. Army. And please, no eating, drinking and no haram
smoking. 10 minutes prior to the test Inshallah, I like to add the
haram to the smoking part. Allah, please start today between Madrid

people that enrolled, it registered, and three of the
facilitators will also be there inshallah. So this is a good sign.
You know, masha Allah, many is going to come to that. Course, if
there's still people that want to join, please join inshaAllah Hajj,

Ah Sadiq mashaAllah is brilliant in conducting this course. He did
it with our little ones. And you must just hear how beautiful they
give ADA now and know the significance of the Adhan and
where it comes from. MashaAllah, beautiful, Alhamdulillah.
