Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah meant await When I owe The bill.
Muhammad with the
most beautiful greeting, the greeting of Islam, as well as the
greeting of Jannah, as salaamu, alaykum, warahmatullahi, taala,
wabarakatu,
Alhamdulillah, everyone doing
beautiful Masha, Allah, just coming from beautiful days, May
Allah accept all our sacrifices and SubhanAllah. What was so
amazing this morning is that we've welcomed our first judge back from
Mecca, Allahu, Akbar, how Allah's Mercy is showing it's Puri, and
this is when hayr and goodness is surrounding us and Allah showers
us with His mercy.
And this is something that we need to inshaAllah introspect, and we
need to ponder and think about this, that when good happens,
Allah is not shy to show us that you were brilliant and you were
good, Masha, Allah. And if we don't do good, Allah is also not
shy, to show us that you are not doing good.
And what has transpired through the past few months, we could see
that there was something that the Ummah lacked, and that was our
unity. That was our beauty, that was the beauty of Islam that we
portrayed, that was our Imaan that we were to shy to show, and Allah
allowed calamity to befall us. But that calamity is Allah says in the
Quran. And we thought at the moment when this happened, that
this is something very bad for us, but Allah promised wa ashayan For
who Fahy rule.
And can't we see that today, perhaps when we see something that
is bad for us, Allah's intention is for it to be good for us. The
Palestinians are struggling up until today. Allah Akbar, two
babies, has just been beheaded. Jamaatul, Muslimeen.
It brings us, it hurts our hearts, but what we see is Shahada. What
we see is Allah's pleasure. What we see is Allah being pleased with
them, and we can only hope that Allah will be pleased with us.
Wa and to Hib buchaya. And sometimes we think that things are
so good for us, and then Allah says that will actually be bad for
you. So how do we balance this, jamaatul, Muslimeen, we balance
this by times that Allah gives us, and Allah has gifted us with times
now, recently, and all of us tried our best, all of us, you know, no
matter how busy our schedules, our lives were, we came out. We
participated in some program where we could uplift ourselves
spiritually. Some came to Ale Salah program. Some had ADKAR at
their homes. Some had act of charities, you know, or goodwill,
or whatever they desired to do. For the sake of Allah, we kind of
started to create the pattern within our lives that we want to
do good,
and sometimes, when we do that good, it seems to us that
Subhanallah, what difference can this make?
What difference can this make? But we forget, you know, we are the
minority in this country. We are the minority as the Muslims, but
the minority always stood out. Look through the.
Times of history, the minority always stood out, and they always
Subhanallah seems to be the ones that stand for Haq, the minority,
Allahu, Akbar, and may Allah allow us as a minority to stand out, may
our light shine for centuries to come. Inshallah, for the
sacrifices that we are making. Amin Arab pal Alameen, it's not
easy. Jamaatul muslimi, we're living in a society that's sick.
We'll I mean, I mean, I mean the society is sick. Aji, true. We're
living in a society truly that we need to change. And how can we
change that and allow the you know, we always feel that, what
can I do? Man, I'm one person, but Allah is very clear. In Allah
Europe says that
Allah will not change a nation. Allah speak about a tone,
Allah will not change a nation. And are we not a nation? We are a
nation. We are a generation of a people that need to leave behind
something for those to come to look up to to say that this was my
forefathers, and this is what they stood for. They stood for the
Haqq.
So we are at home. We are a nation. And Allah says, I will not
change a nation until they change within themselves. So where does
it start? It starts with me.
Oh, what changes am I going to bring without and about in my
life?
How am I going to change from within? And how is that within our
judge Subhanallah, they came from makatul mukarrama, they had such a
spiritual journey, a journey that will never, ever be removed from
their mind, from their hearts, from their lives. Never. It can't
it's impossible. Ask those who went for Hajj, when the people
live this year for Hajj, it's like you were on Hajj today, the year
tomorrow, the Allah. But this is where I walked. This is who I met.
Here. It's like a movie that's playing in front of you that you
relive every single year when the time comes. That is what Hajj
does. So they changed something. Changed them, who Allah?
Allah Allah changed them because Allah handpicked them. Allah did
not choose you. Allah did not choose me. Allah chose them.
And they are like that piece, you know that go and pick up the
pollen, and then when they move around, they spread the Palan
everywhere. So now they coming back and everywhere that they will
come. They will bring a light and Anur, from where? From the holy
lands, a Nur from Allah that they received. Now that is why. What do
we do? What do we say to them? Kabila, Allahu, hajak, Allah,
accept your Hajj. Wafara zambak, and may Allah forgive you all your
sins. Wafa, nafak, attack, and may Allah replace everything that you
spend, you spend your child with better.
And this is the dua of Rasulullah sallallahu, Sallam tadaj, and
that's what we're going to do. And may Allah accept them for these to
ask that the Prophet Muhammad SAW me to the huja
jamaatul Muslimeen. We need to change. We need to bring a change.
And everything that we've done, that we feel that it was little,
even the huja. I see the Noor shining from my right hand side. I
see the aji sitting here. Subhanallah, this is so beautiful.
Allah has blessed us today with huja in our midst. Huja Fresh,
fresh, fresh from fresh from the farm,
fresh from the desert. Submaha, you know, Allah has honored us
today with her judge, but jamaatul Muslimeen, when we think something
is insignificant in in the eyes of Allah, it's not in the eyes of
Allah, it means a lot the sacrifices that we do. You know,
the most amazing thing when Allah speak about minorities, it's
always good that comes with the minorities. Allah says. Kalila
Mina shakiri, very little of them, they are grateful. Kalila Mina
mutaki, very little of them are among the righteous. Subhanallah
and Allah speak about the sinful ones. Akhtar,
you know, Allah speaks about Kathir minawa,
those who make his Raf,
those who waste. Allah say there's a lot of you out there that waste
Allahu. Akbar, how he waste time? How he waste food? How we waste
Allahu Akbar? We can the list goes on and on. Allah speaks about
these things. There's a lot of people that does this, but very
little are those who are grateful. Very little of those are those who
are righteous and who are conscious of Allah. Khaliel,
Khalil. Khali the Khalil is attached to those people who are
righteous and Allah, allow us. We are the minority. Allah.
Allow us to be among the righteous. Subhanallah, Jamaat al
muslime, there are so many proofs from the Quran till Allah gives us
that we are on the right path.
Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam, he was part of a minority,
but he was on the righteous path.
And because of that, what happened the Nusrah of Allah was with them.
So we are the minority. But are we living up to the standards of how
Muhammad, sallAllahu, Sallam came to teach us?
Are we among that Khalil, Amina, shakirin go on the remembrance of
Allah, taala, oh, wamin al mutaki, no, those who are punctures of
Allah and righteous and fires are we among that minority
in Allah becoming Hatay? We need to change within ourselves. We
need to make the change today. There's no time left. We can see
how the world is turning, and now it's going the signs of Qiyamah.
It's as clear as daylight in front of us. We're only waiting for the
major signs to come.
I don't know who of you want to live with that time. I always make
the don't let me be alive and protect our offspring for the
difficult times, because the jail is coming. I went from the east is
going to blow. Mountains will crumble, the sea will take its
place. Are we ready for this?
It sounds almost like fairy tales. I'm like, don't I speak about
movies? It's not movies. This is the reality. This is what's going
to happen when Allah is going to give the command one of his soul.
Allahu Akbar, who's ready for this Israel is standing. He's been
created to stand already pulled in his breath. The only thing he's
waiting for is for Allah's command, and he blows the trumpet.
And what will happen?
Tarahum, bisukara,
you will see them drunk in an intoxicant state, wama, home, be
sukhara, but they will not be in that state of drunkardness. It is
worry and concerned. It will overcome them. Mothers, yomaya,
fir will Marum in a he brothers will run away from one another.
Well, um mihi wa abi, children will abandon. Parents will abandon
their children, Asahi, batihiwabani, mothers will board
their children.
Who's ready for this? This is Tiama we speaking about,
but Allah has gifted us with times, not so long ago, we had
Ramadan. And,
you know, the most amazing thing is, when this time comes,
Rasulullah mentioned things to us, and the Prophet says, so beautiful
man, Sama Ramadan, that if you fast for the sake of Allah, Amen
and with complete faith
and and few hope in The mercy that Allah will give you AJR for it
won't reward you for that. What who fear Allahu? Man,
Allah brings so much content to our hearts. What does Allah say?
Then I will forgive all your previous sins the time. It's a
time that Allah has given us. What are we going to do? Allah is
preparing us. Hello to Allah says, Come on kutiva. Allah
has made fault upon you as Allah has made incumbent upon those
before you, too fast,
just to become pious, to be in the obedience of Allah and to negate
what Allah has made haram for us to abstain from that it's
important for us to recognize these times and it happened, and
six days after Ramadan, immediately Allah gives us more.
Allah Allah says this fast for the six days of Shawal, and I will
grant you the acceptance of an entire year as fast Allah
and then Subhanallah, a month went by, not even as long A month.
And I reminded everyone that this immediately after Ramadan. It's
called the I am Hajj, the days of Hajj Shawal. The month of Shawal
is the start of the day of Hajj, of the days of Hajj already
the Haja. PP, we prepare and then not even as long after a month of
Allah gives us the Hajj. The judge is on the journey, the spiritual
journey. But Allah never forgot about us. The Prophet, sallAllahu,
sallam, never forgot about us. He gave us the best 10 days of the
year.
Now it's time to take stock. What did I do in that 10 days?
If we ask ourselves, as an ummah, what did the Rasul?
Salam doing this 10 days when Allah says, well, Fajr, wala ya
Nash wa Shah, what Allah takes a Qassam by these 10 days, it is the
best. There's no Aha, but Ill Allah, there's no Amal Mo, beloved
to Allah within these 10 days after Hijjah, every night is
equivalent to a Layla to others, rewards one day of fast is like an
entire year of fast. So if you fasted nine days of the Hijjah,
that fast, Allah gave you nine years of fasting.
Can you imagine this
every night? If you upkeep, upkeep that nights of the Hijjah, then
what will happen? Allah will give you the equivalent of the reward
of Layla to Qatar every night, every night.
Did we let this opportunity go by maktoba Ya Rabbi gave us this
gift, and we have neglected that gift.
SubhanAllah umasi Muhammad SAW Salam the masajid should have been
filled.
The massage it should have been filled. Program should have been
kept. The Ummah should have united. But to Allah, we are so
much indulging in what Allah is gifting us every day.
We are forgetting that Allah is the provider.
Allah provides for us every day, Jamaat al muslimin, just think
about it, whether you are going to
make effort or whether you are not going to make effort, what has
been decreed for you, you will not miss. You will not miss. If you're
Muslim, you have to believe in this,
no matter what go through your mind. Now, what is Mullah talking
about? Wallahi? Allah is the provider. Accept that and
understand that he will look after you like he's look after everyone
else before you and those who will come after you Allah will look
after them as well.
Believe in that, and that is why making a little effort,
you know, comes with a trial.
But either ahaba, Allahu, Akbar, that when Allah loves his servant,
ibdala, and Allah tastes servants,
so in Allah test us be happy.
Allah
has trialed me in everything belongs to Allah, and it will
return to Allah,
not your why is this happening to me? I'm working so hard. No, look
at him. He is not even making effort, but he does this, and he
gets this, and he Masha Allah. What is happening with him? Not
Masha Allah is not Mashallah.
Is mo sarobis, but he said, yelda plus and Allah kit, what am I
doing wrong? No, that is not the response of a believer.
The response of the believer is Masha, Allah. Allah has given him.
Allah increase him, but Allah give him more. And the MA like, I just
love this. I mean in the same to you brother. I mean the same to
you brother. Tomorrow you also sat in your backside and things come
your way, and then you wonder why.
You know why? Because you felt for your brother. You may dua for your
brother sincerely from the heart, and that's why Allah is gifting
you, and Allah is gifting you, and Allah is favoring you. And now the
other guy is going to say, Look at this guy. He's sitting on his
backside.
Now it's a perpetual story that's happening. And this brings me to
my Hadith,
nothing that you have done through these 10 days that has passed and
through Ramadan that is passed is going
by and being looked at as insignificant in the eyes of
Allah. That is not how a Muslim is not befitting on a Muslim to do
actions such as this. That's called Riyadh, showing others that
I'm doing this because of so and so. No, we don't do that. May
Allah protect us. Inshallah, let us do our own our actions
sincerely. And you know the key word today is moderately. Do it
moderately. Now. Don't shower yourself with good actions. And
you think I'm just, I'm not going to read a hotam every day now, you
know, I'm
got the Jews tomorrow,
you must go back to work, brother,
now you're going to read the Qatar tomorrow.
Do what is within your capacity. You can do it Jews a day, even
though half a Jews a day. I can do a quarter juice a day. I can do a
page a day. I can do half a page a day. I can do one line a day,
but do it. But do it moderately. What does the Rasul assalam say
that? No, Alamo, know that your deeds will not make you into
paradise. Don't think I must make so much good actions. You know,
everybody must see us because
they're going to witness it. They all I did.
He did? Does? He was this guy? Remember, that's how
Allah,
that is very scary, if you think about them.
But Inshallah, Let's not speak about it. No, Allah. Allah says
that you will not enter paradise with your deeds. Only with Allah's
Mercy will we enter into paradise, into Jannah? Allah, Allah was to
enter into Jannah, I mean, and then the Prophet sallallahu,
alayhi wa sallam, goes on by saying and that the most beloved
deed to Allah is the most regular and constant, even if it is
little.
Listen to that key you remember Khalil, little
always be the minority, even in our actions, if we are
of those whom Masha Allah, are constant with our actions, no
matter how little it is Allah recognize and what does Allah say?
Allah is most beloved and dear to that person that does this.
Allah loves the actions that are done constantly, continuously.
Masha, Allah, even if it is a little Allah says, Don't be of
those. I have lot of joys today. So I read whole Quran today. I
make all the tahajjud Today I made my salatul Haja, I have Soma
istikhara. No, I'm madam Soma making istikhara also, because I
just want to do good actions and tomorrow and papayas. No more
done.
No, that is not what we should do. We should always try and we both.
I'm not saying stay on that low level, but be constant with it and
try to improve all the time, little by little, you improve
little, but you give more, little, but you give more, because now
what happens? And this is also a talk that we will have soon,
Inshallah, barakah
we need to get
to receive the barakah that our predecessors had. How could they
read the khatam a day and a night and stand everything and all the
suns of the Prophet saws. How is this possible? And they worked.
What is that? You know, we can't picture it. Why? Because we don't
have barakah in our lives. They had barakah in their lives.
Many people that they can't fathom how, I'm sure, if you could read
62 khatams in 61 khatams In Ramadan, the people can't fathom.
You still had to work. He had to do it. Well, why there was barakah
in the time. And when Allah gives barakah, nobody can take it
away. We, you see it with our wealth, we have barakah very
little, but I come out for an entire month, and you get the guy,
he's got a lot, but
it can't even come out in a day because this,
I would Go on the phone
sometimes,
and after
smiles in and
we need Baraka make dua for Baraka.
Make effort for barakah.
This is what we need to do, because they did it. They
understood that this wealth means nothing. The facade Allah. Allah
says that this dunya is Mata al guru. It's deceiving me. It's
there, but it doesn't do anything to my heart. But my Jannah is a
worry for me. And as they move to Jannah, as they move to Jannah, as
they move to Jannah, dunya comes, and dunya comes, and dunya comes,
and dunya comes Subhanallah,
and dunya was at their feet. And Allah allowed dunya to be at our
feet, but far from our hearts. And Inshallah, may the akhira be close
to our hearts. And Inshallah, may we be of those who will soon enter
into paradise. I mean so Jamaat Muslim, mean our message for
today, do good actions, perpetually, continuously,
constantly. And that actions will be beloved by Allah, and it will
not be overlooked by Allah. It holds minutes by Allah. And that
small action might be that action that takes you through the doors
of Jannah inshaAllah, by Allah, accept, I mean, all our small
efforts. So the 10 days that will gone by, don't forget what you
have done during those 10 days, upkeep that, uphold that, keep
your spiritual, spirituality there inshaAllah and Allah. Be with us.
Muslim being just for our sick. I'm so happy today I see my
beloved father, Mr. Dawah is sitting here in front of us today.
Again. He was in hospital for this entire weeks. Bahan Allah, that
has passed, and Allah brought him back to us. Power of dua, power of
the children's dua. Masha Allah, we're so happy to have Mr. Dawah
back with us. May Allah keep him safe. May Allah grant him strength
to be with us for many more years. And.
Do Subhanallah hit us on the head for many more times in sha Allah,
so Dawa always
on our case, masha Allah, when we do something, subhanAllah, accept
Amin. And then also, for nuriba, injuring the best of health, make
dua did Allah must grant him complete shifa Amin, because he
was really, as he is, a stalwart of our Masjid Inshallah, and we
hope and wish that he can do many more and much more for our masjid,
Amin ya Rameen, and then also for Kaka. You know, our beloved kW
Parker, who is also not enjoying the best of health, but mashallah,
this improvement, as I've heard, Allah grant him complete Shiva as
well. I mean your pal, Amin, and today, don't forget our
administration at 413 sha Allah taala, we are still strong,
standing with the people of Palestine, standing with the
people of ghaza. Inshallah, materna Salah jazz just came back.

victory soon. Inshallah, I mean your parame Allah, destroy the
oppresses. I mean your pal alameen and then Masjid tuba, 1446,
calendars will be issued next Friday. Inshallah, you know, this

Masjid tuba. Inshallah, there's some beautiful, beautiful things
that will be on, on the inshaAllah Allah, for you to reminisce about
with us. You know, reminisce our journey in sha Allah, Tala, that's
all I'm going to give you. Now. You need to come, and you need to
come and feature yourself to see Mashallah. What is on the
mashaAllah except from a masjid aminar pallamin, it will be 100
Rand per calendar. Ah, there we go. There the law of Ka

it is for our Masjid to maintain our masjid, to maintain the
buildings of our masjid, and for the programs to constantly be
taking place at our masjid. And Alhamdulillah, you know, we try to
always keep our Masjid are bad and active Inshallah, make dua. It
