AI: Summary ©
The upcoming winter is a springtime of the believer, and the two unique factors that impact the upcoming winter are the length of the day and the frequency of the night. The importance of fasting during the colder months is discussed, and the need for a balance between social and economic activities to prevent negative impact of the winter. The challenges of achieving higher returns on investment and creating problems such as abuse and abuse are discussed, and the importance of planning ahead and finding the best 10 consecutive nights in the needed calendar is emphasized. The community must increase spending in the year after, and the community must grant support and allow the capacity to make over. The community must increase spending in the year after, and communication will go out to the community.

Salaam Alaikum, warahmatullahi wa

00:00:14 --> 00:00:22

salatu wassalamualaikum in a shaitanya. Rajeem Bismillahi,

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

beloved brothers

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

and

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

elders, Leonard ulama, her father, mothers and sisters, after having

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

greeted each other in the manner taught to us by habibuna Mustafa,

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

Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, we remind ourselves of the

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

auspiciousness of the day of Jummah, and Inshallah, throughout

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

the day of Jumah and beyond, we continue with the rule and Salawat

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

upon habibu, Namo, Stafa, Muhammad Sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam,

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

winter is coming.

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

So Subhanallah, what informs the choice of topic for discussion

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

today?

00:01:04 --> 00:01:08

On a light hearted note, the last time I had the opportunity of

00:01:08 --> 00:01:12

sharing Juma with you, some of the brothers in rulama was saying,

00:01:12 --> 00:01:16

Bashara, you brought the rain. So I thought maybe going into the

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

cold months, I rather give you a heads up and tell you that winter

00:01:20 --> 00:01:24

is coming. Before you say, I am the reason why you're starting to

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

experience slightly colder temperatures.

00:01:27 --> 00:01:30

So Subhanallah that being on a lighter note, I start with a

00:01:30 --> 00:01:35

personal anecdote unrelated to winter, but directly related to

00:01:35 --> 00:01:39

summer. On one occasion, one of my teachers summoned me, as

00:01:39 --> 00:01:43

Subhanallah, or teachers, have a right to do and he wanted me to be

00:01:43 --> 00:01:48

part of this short consultation with regards to another graduating

00:01:48 --> 00:01:52

student of ill, another student of knowledge, a very reputable,

00:01:52 --> 00:01:56

renowned, well known Tari in one of the bigger massage in

00:01:56 --> 00:02:00

Johannesburg, was graduating, and he was consulting my Teacher with

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

regards to his further studies, already there Subhanallah a lesson

00:02:03 --> 00:02:08

for all of us. May we continuously be in the process of upskilling

00:02:08 --> 00:02:13

and developing ourselves in our various fields and careers, so

00:02:13 --> 00:02:16

that we are contributing to being that intellectual capital of the

00:02:16 --> 00:02:19

ummah of habibu, NamUs kapaam, Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa

00:02:19 --> 00:02:23

sallam. So my teacher wanted my insight, because this particular

00:02:23 --> 00:02:28

graduate was interested in pursuing a career as a career as a

00:02:28 --> 00:02:32

student and a graduate of Islamic and Sharia sciences, he was

00:02:32 --> 00:02:37

interested in pursuing a career of further studies in health and

00:02:37 --> 00:02:41

allied sciences. And the first point I mentioned when my teacher

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

asked for input was he should move to Cape Town.

00:02:47 --> 00:02:47

Winter is coming,

00:02:49 --> 00:02:52

so my teacher looked at me, perplexed. We're asking you about

00:02:52 --> 00:02:56

health sciences, and your first input is he should move to Cape

00:02:56 --> 00:03:01

Town. Why? My teacher inquired, and I said, Subhan Allah, because

00:03:01 --> 00:03:07

he will be privy in the summer months to much longer days, which

00:03:07 --> 00:03:12

means his ability to study, to exert himself, to balance his

00:03:12 --> 00:03:16

family life and to produce output that would add value to the

00:03:16 --> 00:03:21

community and society. Subhanallah would be amazing, because if he

00:03:21 --> 00:03:24

commenced that Fajr and went all the way up tal Mari in the summer

00:03:24 --> 00:03:29

months for us in Cape Town, and I say us, some of you, Sun Hala may

00:03:29 --> 00:03:30

know what that means.

00:03:32 --> 00:03:35

Would mean that he could complete the standard day at work at 5pm

00:03:35 --> 00:03:40

and still have two to two and a half hours of light hours to be

00:03:40 --> 00:03:41

productive.

00:03:42 --> 00:03:47

Now we are going to experience the opposite with regards to winter is

00:03:47 --> 00:03:52

coming. Because some of you would know that on certain days, if you

00:03:52 --> 00:03:57

start your work day early in winter, you could arguably observe

00:03:57 --> 00:03:59

salatul Fajar at your place of employee,

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

SubhanAllah. What did habibuna, Mustafa, Muhammad Sallam say with

00:04:05 --> 00:04:06

regards to winter?

00:04:08 --> 00:04:12

Winter is the spring time of the believer.

00:04:14 --> 00:04:18

How so? So let's throw back to the previous tumor I shared with you.

00:04:19 --> 00:04:23

We had made an undertaking, individually and collectively,

00:04:23 --> 00:04:27

that we would exert ourselves in the month of Ramadan, that Allah

00:04:27 --> 00:04:30

has blessed us of having been witnessed the month of Ramadan.

00:04:30 --> 00:04:34

May Allah bless us with many more ramadans. I mean Europe. And we we

00:04:34 --> 00:04:40

focused on the unique ibadah, which is the first Ibadah we make

00:04:40 --> 00:04:43

in the month of Ramadan, as salatu torawi, and we said Ramadan was

00:04:43 --> 00:04:46

also synonymous with fasting. So habibu, namustafa, Muhammad,

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

sallAllahu, alaihi wasallam tells us in this narration that winter

00:04:50 --> 00:04:55

is the springtime of the believer, because of two unique factors, if

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59

you wanted to understand Winter is coming in a very.

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

Easy, crisp manner, the father ill and the virtues of winter.

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

Habibuna, Mustafa Muhammad also said because the nights are long

00:05:10 --> 00:05:16

in narabaya, Alamo Anna katakumu, adnamin, Sulu Teil lewanista,

00:05:16 --> 00:05:20

whoa, if i tumina la Dina. Mark Allah mentions in Suratul Muslim

00:05:21 --> 00:05:24

that indeed your Lord knows that you spend two thirds of the night,

00:05:24 --> 00:05:29

or at times half of the night, observing the night vigil.

00:05:30 --> 00:05:34

Well Levina, Mark and those who are with you, the idea of qiyamuli

00:05:34 --> 00:05:38

Beyond the month of Ramadan and established sunnah of habibu,

00:05:38 --> 00:05:42

namustafa, Muhammad, sallAllahu, alaihi wasallam throughout their

00:05:42 --> 00:05:47

Allah references is also in the 15 years of Quran asking salatul ke

00:05:47 --> 00:05:50

Shamsi, ilahasaki, Leila, Quran Al Fajr.

00:05:51 --> 00:05:55

In the Quran Al Fajr that Quran recited in the early morning

00:05:55 --> 00:05:59

hours, this is witnessed by Allah subhanahu wa taali so habibu

00:05:59 --> 00:06:03

namusta pa Muhammad SAW some pointing out to us that the longer

00:06:03 --> 00:06:08

nights in winter give you an additional opportunity of, if not

00:06:08 --> 00:06:13

more hours to spend in qayyar Mulay, a low hanging fruit that

00:06:13 --> 00:06:18

all of us can capitalize on, if we maintain the time at which we've

00:06:18 --> 00:06:21

been waking up through the month of Ramadan now, already two weeks

00:06:21 --> 00:06:24

post the month of Rama, two weeks in a day, post the month of

00:06:24 --> 00:06:29

Ramadan, Allahu, Akbar, we can establish and add a pattern, a

00:06:29 --> 00:06:33

habit of being those who are conscientious on the observance of

00:06:34 --> 00:06:35

salatu, tahajjud,

00:06:38 --> 00:06:42

so we keep the same Wake up time. And other than just squeezing in a

00:06:42 --> 00:06:46

two raka or four Raka, Allahu Akbar will be able to pack in an

00:06:46 --> 00:06:49

entire hour of rebadan

00:06:50 --> 00:06:55

as one of the father ill and virtues of winter. What is the

00:06:55 --> 00:07:00

second Ramadan was synonymous with Quran and fasting. So habibu na

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

Mustafa Muhammad SAW some then also references the idea that the

00:07:04 --> 00:07:06

fast of the winter month are shorter.

00:07:08 --> 00:07:13

How we enjoyed the consequence of fasting, the likeness that we felt

00:07:14 --> 00:07:18

literally and figuratively because of less consumption through the

00:07:18 --> 00:07:21

Inshallah, through the month of Ramadan, would mean that if we

00:07:21 --> 00:07:26

keep fasting, and we've just come through the middle of the month of

00:07:26 --> 00:07:30

Shawal iyam, will be the white days we look forward to Mondays

00:07:30 --> 00:07:34

and Thursdays as times when habibu namustafa Muhammad SAW some in the

00:07:34 --> 00:07:38

entire city of Medina to Munawwara up until this day and age. And by

00:07:38 --> 00:07:41

extension, people in pockets of the Ummah, subhanAllah,

00:07:41 --> 00:07:44

diligently, conscientiously observed the fast of Monday and

00:07:44 --> 00:07:47

Thursday, once again, an opportunity for us. So the

00:07:47 --> 00:07:52

cleansing that we experience by virtue of fasting in the month of

00:07:52 --> 00:07:58

Ramadan. Inshallah, we can carry those positive traits beyond by

00:07:58 --> 00:08:02

looking at this other virtue of winter, which is where we fast,

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

because the fast are shorter. Now, there's a nuance in terms of

00:08:06 --> 00:08:10

observing fast in summer and fast in winter. In summer, maybe

00:08:10 --> 00:08:14

Subhanallah, you would experience that sense of being able to

00:08:14 --> 00:08:18

empathize with those who have less because there's some element of

00:08:18 --> 00:08:22

thirst. But in winter, what becomes pronounced by virtue of

00:08:22 --> 00:08:27

fasting, in terms of creating the empathy within us, is that you

00:08:27 --> 00:08:29

experience the severity of the cold.

00:08:31 --> 00:08:34

Because I'm sure there's many health professionals here,

00:08:34 --> 00:08:37

subhanAllah, the less consumption, or the decrease in consumption,

00:08:38 --> 00:08:42

would mean that on a cellular level, you now start experiencing

00:08:42 --> 00:08:46

that cold a little bit more. And this then informs other of the

00:08:46 --> 00:08:49

teachings of habibu na Mustafa, Muhammad, sallAllahu, alaihi

00:08:49 --> 00:08:53

wasallam, we as a community, Alhamdulillah Summa. Alhamdulillah

00:08:53 --> 00:08:57

are those who are, by and large, generous.

00:08:58 --> 00:09:02

And when we speak of winter is coming. One of the take homes from

00:09:02 --> 00:09:08

today's discussion would be around the generosity that individually

00:09:08 --> 00:09:11

and collectively, we, as the brother um of habibu namustafa

00:09:11 --> 00:09:15

Muhammad, saw some, particularly in this part of the world and in

00:09:15 --> 00:09:18

this country, and by extension, in this city, subhanAllah, a

00:09:18 --> 00:09:22

synonymous pool, is that there's a sense of generosity in winter

00:09:22 --> 00:09:27

because of the numerous winter warmth campaigns that the NGOs and

00:09:27 --> 00:09:31

the pbos, the non governmental organizations and the public

00:09:31 --> 00:09:36

benefit organizations for us ordinary folk, the charitable

00:09:36 --> 00:09:40

organizations would run in winter, but the call Subhanallah that I

00:09:40 --> 00:09:42

make today is for us to rethink,

00:09:44 --> 00:09:49

what is it that we contributing towards in terms of these winter

00:09:49 --> 00:09:50

campaigns? Why

00:09:52 --> 00:09:57

is it immediate relief? Which is a need, or does it have an element

00:09:57 --> 00:09:58

of development? It's.

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

Because a term that we all familiar with is ROI return on

00:10:05 --> 00:10:09

investment. What does Allah say on the first verse of the fourth Jews

00:10:09 --> 00:10:17

of Quran lentana, none of you shall truly attain righteousness

00:10:18 --> 00:10:23

until you expend of that which you love. So

00:10:25 --> 00:10:31

is my charity in the month of in the winter months, that which is

00:10:31 --> 00:10:34

giving away the oldest of my clothing.

00:10:35 --> 00:10:39

Is that going to attain me the bill, the righteousness that Allah

00:10:39 --> 00:10:46

speaks about or is my charity using the example of clothing and

00:10:46 --> 00:10:50

my giving away the clothing that which is linked to the most fit

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

for purpose pieces of clothing that I give away, and

00:10:55 --> 00:10:58

we're going to build on their thoughts of Hanukkah? Are we the

00:10:58 --> 00:11:04

community and society who are only dishing out hot meals in winter

00:11:04 --> 00:11:08

because that's a means of adding value to people, or are we willing

00:11:08 --> 00:11:12

to take a little bit more of a developmental approach in terms of

00:11:12 --> 00:11:16

the necessary charity in winter? There needs to be a balance. What

00:11:16 --> 00:11:21

is the balance when we have many public facilities, hospitals,

00:11:22 --> 00:11:27

old age homes, prisons, where they are human beings too,

00:11:28 --> 00:11:31

and the harshness of the winter arguably, is sometimes felt more

00:11:32 --> 00:11:34

by the peoples of hanala in those facilities.

00:11:36 --> 00:11:41

What stops us as a community without the acronym of whichever

00:11:41 --> 00:11:46

PBO or NGO or charitable organization of labeling, because

00:11:46 --> 00:11:50

we have within the winter warmth campaigns. We have blanket runs,

00:11:50 --> 00:11:54

right? So every year Subhanallah, we purchase blankets and we hand

00:11:54 --> 00:11:59

them out to needy families. I ask a question, when was the last time

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

you replaced the blankets in your own home. What's the lifespan of a

00:12:03 --> 00:12:06

blanket? Is it one winter season? The answer is no,

00:12:07 --> 00:12:11

five years, six years, irrespective of the quality of the

00:12:11 --> 00:12:15

blanket, whether it's mink or it's not mink. Subhanallah, the

00:12:15 --> 00:12:20

lifespan of a blanket is more than a single winter season when

00:12:22 --> 00:12:27

we with blindfolds plug into these campaigns,

00:12:28 --> 00:12:34

not realizing that they perpetuate certain other problems. Because in

00:12:34 --> 00:12:38

the sub economic communities where these blanket drives take place,

00:12:38 --> 00:12:44

one home at many times, eventually received six or seven blankets. So

00:12:44 --> 00:12:47

the breadwinner in that home, appreciating unemployment is on

00:12:47 --> 00:12:53

the rise, sees little need in his mind to go out and seek employment

00:12:54 --> 00:12:58

because someone is seeing to our needs. What happens with the seven

00:12:58 --> 00:13:03

blankets that arguably, this home maybe receiving every year, it

00:13:03 --> 00:13:06

perpetuates the mindset for that individual to say, hey, I can hang

00:13:06 --> 00:13:07

back,

00:13:08 --> 00:13:11

because next winter we'll get more blankets, but we don't need seven

00:13:11 --> 00:13:14

blankets, because maybe we three people living in the home. So what

00:13:14 --> 00:13:19

happens with the additional four blankets? Every year they get sold

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

off. I'm not saying we shouldn't distribute blankets, but what I am

00:13:23 --> 00:13:27

saying is redirect the distribution of those blankets

00:13:27 --> 00:13:32

towards certain facilities where they may not be blankets, and take

00:13:32 --> 00:13:36

the time and energy of stitching on a label that says, from the

00:13:37 --> 00:13:40

ummah of habibu na Mustafa, Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa

00:13:40 --> 00:13:42

sallam, from the followers of Islam,

00:13:44 --> 00:13:47

appreciating that pilferage happens in the hospitals and in

00:13:47 --> 00:13:51

the prisons as well. But isn't that an opportunity of Dawa for

00:13:51 --> 00:13:55

the person who's experiencing cold in the hospital or the prison or

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

the old age home to say that this blanket that's keeping me warm has

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

come to me from the followers of la ilaha, illAllah Muhammad,

00:14:03 --> 00:14:08

Rasulullah, and arguably, the same blanket that we would be

00:14:08 --> 00:14:14

distributing would now have a longer lifespan and more use would

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

be extracted from it over a protracted period of time.

00:14:18 --> 00:14:19

As one thought,

00:14:20 --> 00:14:24

what stops us, as those who are generous in the war, in the in the

00:14:24 --> 00:14:29

winter months, from being ones who will install there's risks here

00:14:29 --> 00:14:33

too little heaters in some of the public schools, so that the young

00:14:33 --> 00:14:37

children who perhaps don't have footwear and who don't have

00:14:37 --> 00:14:41

clothing, subhanAllah would be able to experience some level of

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

warmth in the facilities where they are receiving some sort of

00:14:45 --> 00:14:50

education. Yes, I know I may be sharing very simplistic examples,

00:14:50 --> 00:14:54

and there's levels of complexity and different dimensions, but

00:14:54 --> 00:14:58

these are to spur Subhanallah some of the thoughts in our minds for

00:14:58 --> 00:14:59

us to be creative. I.

00:15:00 --> 00:15:04

Beyond just doing what we've been doing here on Year and Year and

00:15:04 --> 00:15:05

Year,

00:15:06 --> 00:15:10

coming back to the societal problems I referenced as a result

00:15:10 --> 00:15:15

of the toxic charity that we are sometimes guilty of because we are

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

not thinking on a systems level.

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

So the breadwinner of at home doesn't see a need to go and seek

00:15:20 --> 00:15:25

employment, appreciating that the match between where employment is

00:15:25 --> 00:15:29

available and what type of skill set, etc, also has its own

00:15:29 --> 00:15:34

challenges. What then happens that person starts irritating the rest

00:15:34 --> 00:15:37

of the inhabitants of the household, so the women folk and

00:15:37 --> 00:15:42

the children, and then we have other societal problems, abuse,

00:15:42 --> 00:15:48

etcetera, etcetera. So sometimes in us wanting to achieve a reward

00:15:48 --> 00:15:53

without thinking a term that we all familiar with around the

00:15:53 --> 00:15:58

return on investment, we are actually perpetuating and creating

00:15:58 --> 00:16:04

other problems. Okay, as a second thought, two virtues of winter

00:16:04 --> 00:16:08

we've discussed, the long nights, the opportunity of tahajjud and

00:16:08 --> 00:16:12

Kaya mule, the short days, the opportunity of fasting. The third

00:16:12 --> 00:16:17

that we discussed is with regards to our charity, needing to achieve

00:16:17 --> 00:16:20

higher levels of return on investment then

00:16:22 --> 00:16:26

few minutes remaining, the unique Subhanallah positioning of the

00:16:26 --> 00:16:27

winters of the cape.

00:16:30 --> 00:16:31

What is unique

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

of the winter we experience in the cape compared to many other parts

00:16:35 --> 00:16:36

of our country

00:16:37 --> 00:16:38

that we have wintering

00:16:40 --> 00:16:44

pure silly. Sama Ari Kum with Doro. Volume did come be amwali.

00:16:44 --> 00:16:47

Verina wage, Allah come generic. Ala Kum, Anna,

00:16:49 --> 00:16:50

yes,

00:16:51 --> 00:16:55

our areas are synonymous with winter rain. Maybe those patterns

00:16:55 --> 00:16:59

have somewhat changed over the last two or three years. We won't

00:16:59 --> 00:17:04

speak about cloud seeding, etc, etc. But we are also cognizant

00:17:04 --> 00:17:09

Subhanallah, that in coming back to the example I shared

00:17:09 --> 00:17:12

surrounding giving off of those pieces of clothing for people's

00:17:12 --> 00:17:15

warmth and fit for use and fit for purpose,

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

let it be such that the generosity that stems from us, individually

00:17:21 --> 00:17:26

or collectively, sees to that unique need. And the ayah that

00:17:26 --> 00:17:30

precedes the one I read from Surat nur is where Allah subhanahu wa

00:17:30 --> 00:17:36

tells us how we will manage to secure the consistent winter rain

00:17:36 --> 00:17:43

that feeds what that feeds the economic and physical ecosystem of

00:17:43 --> 00:17:46

our province. There's a reason for the winter rain. Certain crops

00:17:46 --> 00:17:51

grow, subhanAllah in our province, etc. Those add to the coffers of

00:17:51 --> 00:17:54

the nation, as well as the coffers of our region in our province. How

00:17:54 --> 00:17:59

do we secure the consistency of those winter rains travel to stuff

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

Firo, a Bakun in nahuka Farah,

00:18:04 --> 00:18:11

I say to you, istara Baku, Allah mentions in Quran seek forgiveness

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

for your from your Lord in nahukana. Farah, indeed, here,

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

Allah, Subhanahu wa Taala is most forgiving. So a unique feature of

00:18:20 --> 00:18:24

winter as a father ill and a virtue of winter and the means of

00:18:24 --> 00:18:31

us being able to make sure to do our part in terms of achieving the

00:18:31 --> 00:18:36

consistency of that winter rain, season on season. Today, the date

00:18:36 --> 00:18:39

in English is the 26th of April,

00:18:40 --> 00:18:44

a criticism, and rightfully so many times, from the community,

00:18:46 --> 00:18:50

is that the Ulama are at times, not in tune with what is happening

00:18:51 --> 00:18:55

in the broader public. So that's why I referenced the date, the

00:18:55 --> 00:18:56

26th of April,

00:18:57 --> 00:19:03

because it's the day before the 27th of April, subhanAllah, 30

00:19:03 --> 00:19:04

years

00:19:06 --> 00:19:09

and I want to tie this to the hadith of habibu namustaba,

00:19:09 --> 00:19:15

Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam. Winter is the spring time

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

of the believer.

00:19:18 --> 00:19:23

So what is your individual outlook on our country and its welfare and

00:19:23 --> 00:19:25

its future, it's bleak, right?

00:19:26 --> 00:19:30

Winter is the springtime of the believer. We are eternal

00:19:30 --> 00:19:33

optimists, based on this hadith of habibu namustaba, Muhammad Salas,

00:19:34 --> 00:19:39

whilst in the early stages of our country we enjoyed maybe much more

00:19:39 --> 00:19:43

leverage politically and economically, and that has

00:19:43 --> 00:19:48

declined over the last 30 years, winter as the springtime of the

00:19:48 --> 00:19:53

believer exercise your minds and your choices in terms of what will

00:19:53 --> 00:19:59

allow us to move out of the ebb and the abus that we currently

00:19:59 --> 00:19:59

find ourselves.

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

Have seen towards once again being a riding crescendo, so that we can

00:20:05 --> 00:20:09

once again rise up to experience those peaks. If you had to plot it

00:20:09 --> 00:20:14

on a graph, there's lots of hanala in terms of those last few phrases

00:20:15 --> 00:20:19

I've shared with you my parting words, noting that I have I want

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

to extend a little bit more Allah that Subhanallah I have just a

00:20:22 --> 00:20:28

minute or so remaining is this is also the season of Hajj, when we

00:20:28 --> 00:20:32

conclude the month of Ramadan. The next two months and 10 days are

00:20:32 --> 00:20:34

known as the months of hajj.

00:20:35 --> 00:20:39

And very soon, people in our community will be departing on the

00:20:39 --> 00:20:40

journey of Hajj.

00:20:41 --> 00:20:45

So let's tie in what we mentioned of the faba il of winter to a

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

period of time that's coming now that if we didn't manage to

00:20:49 --> 00:20:54

achieve the great gains of the month of Ramadan, we can,

00:20:54 --> 00:20:59

Inshallah, plan and scheme to catch them in this season. What

00:20:59 --> 00:21:03

were the best 10 consecutive nights in the Hijri calendar, the

00:21:03 --> 00:21:07

last 10 of ramaba. And we spoke about the unique opportunity that

00:21:07 --> 00:21:09

existed for the younger brothers and sisters of hung up sitting in

00:21:09 --> 00:21:13

antikav because it happened to fall squarely in their school and

00:21:13 --> 00:21:14

university holidays, right?

00:21:15 --> 00:21:19

And some of us said, Ah, but I'm working and I don't have leave and

00:21:19 --> 00:21:23

I'm busy on a project, etc, etc. So then we ask ourselves the

00:21:23 --> 00:21:27

question from the words of habibu namustafa Muhammad SAW some what

00:21:27 --> 00:21:33

are the next 10 best consecutive days? They are the first 10 days

00:21:33 --> 00:21:34

of

00:21:36 --> 00:21:42

if we didn't manage to secure as much as we wanted, and extract as

00:21:42 --> 00:21:46

much as we wanted from the last 10 consecutive nights as the best 10

00:21:46 --> 00:21:51

nights in the Hijri calendar. Then Subhanallah, here's a one and a

00:21:51 --> 00:21:53

half month heads up

00:21:54 --> 00:21:59

to the best 10 consecutive days in the Hijri calendar as the first 10

00:21:59 --> 00:22:00

days of

00:22:01 --> 00:22:06

so prepare yourself. Inshallah, plan yourself, free yourself for

00:22:06 --> 00:22:11

this period of added spirituality. Two more things our community is

00:22:11 --> 00:22:13

known for, giving her judge a great send off.

00:22:15 --> 00:22:18

And I'm and I'm speaking now to the broader Jamaican congregation,

00:22:18 --> 00:22:25

not only the judge, but if we look at what we learn from the practice

00:22:25 --> 00:22:29

of our communities throughout time, then there was always more

00:22:29 --> 00:22:34

emphasis on the receiving of the huja than the farewell to the

00:22:34 --> 00:22:37

huja. I'm not saying do away with our cultural practices, but I am

00:22:37 --> 00:22:43

saying make much more of a hullabaloo surrounding receiving

00:22:43 --> 00:22:48

the huja on their return, relative to giving them a farewell in the

00:22:48 --> 00:22:54

send off. To the extent of, if you had to be at Cairo airport in the

00:22:54 --> 00:22:58

season when hajars were returning Ya Allah, you will not be able to

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

move an inch. Arguably, it's even tighter than being on the map

00:23:01 --> 00:23:04

during Hajj things because the people would come from the

00:23:04 --> 00:23:09

villages to receive Subhanallah, the judge appreciating the value

00:23:09 --> 00:23:13

of the huja. I'm using this to raise two points. Number one, each

00:23:13 --> 00:23:16

of us should be seeking out the people in our community who are

00:23:16 --> 00:23:20

going on Hajj, making sure that we ask them to write down the DUA

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

that we would like they make on behalf of us and the community on

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

Arafa number one, number two, make sure that on the evening, before

00:23:27 --> 00:23:31

the departure, you are not keeping up them up till the wee hours of

00:23:31 --> 00:23:35

the morning, because then they arrive in Medina Tul munara and

00:23:35 --> 00:23:39

makatul mukarrama tired on their first day. So appreciate the

00:23:39 --> 00:23:42

etiquette with regards to visiting that we learn from the Sunnah of

00:23:42 --> 00:23:45

habibuna, Mustafa, Muhammad, sallAllahu, Sallam and I close

00:23:45 --> 00:23:51

with this point. Winter is coming when you go to receive the Haja at

00:23:51 --> 00:23:55

the airport. Appreciating that airport arrival terminals are

00:23:55 --> 00:24:00

generally bigger than departure terminals make big fanfare of

00:24:00 --> 00:24:03

receiving them on their return. I know that's still two months and a

00:24:03 --> 00:24:07

bit down the line, and because winter is coming, if you truly

00:24:07 --> 00:24:11

were thoughtful, you would be the one could be carrying a jacket or

00:24:11 --> 00:24:14

a jersey for everyone of the huja who was stepping off the plane,

00:24:15 --> 00:24:16

malasanta la grant us, although

00:24:29 --> 00:24:31

Salaam Alaikum,

00:24:33 --> 00:24:37

Alhamdulillah, amazing Masha Allah, having my Honorable,

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

beloved colleague, mashallah, who once again mesmerized me. The

00:24:43 --> 00:24:46

topic I was wondering, subhanAllah, winter is coming, how

00:24:46 --> 00:24:49

you're going to speak about this and this, he blew our minds.

00:24:49 --> 00:24:53

Subhanallah, you know, working through the Quran in the Sunnah,

00:24:53 --> 00:24:57

and how we can be inshaAllah, fruitful during these beautiful

00:24:57 --> 00:24:59

months, may Allah allow us understanding.

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

All inshaAllah inspire us for many, many more years to come. And

00:25:05 --> 00:25:07

also, I must also

00:25:08 --> 00:25:12

announce to the community that tomorrow our Hajj seminar is

00:25:12 --> 00:25:15

starting here at our Majd Alhamdulillah, and it's been

00:25:15 --> 00:25:19

spearheaded by none other than Malay Brahma and Lali. May Allah

00:25:19 --> 00:25:21

reward him abundantly for his efforts. Subhanallah is not easy.

00:25:21 --> 00:25:24

To leave your families behind for weekends. Mala this time you came

00:25:24 --> 00:25:29

up with the family, we said we're going to do that, but May Allah

00:25:29 --> 00:25:32

facilitate easy. Inshallah, I think we as a community must look

00:25:32 --> 00:25:34

into that, and we call Malaya. Must bring his family with him.

00:25:34 --> 00:25:38

It's not easy. Subhanallah, Allah, bliss. So we said, is a for that

00:25:38 --> 00:25:42

beautiful rendition and that beautiful hood bar that was

00:25:42 --> 00:25:46

rendered, may Allah open our hearts and our minds, and Allah

00:25:46 --> 00:25:48

allow us that our nights can become filled with Ibadah in

00:25:48 --> 00:25:51

winter, in our days, we are grateful, and gratitude. Show

00:25:51 --> 00:25:56

gratitude to Allah by means of fasting Inshallah, I mean. And

00:25:56 --> 00:25:59

then also we have a weekly Hajj classes that are started Tuesday

00:25:59 --> 00:26:02

that has passed inshallah for those who will be at our Hajj

00:26:02 --> 00:26:05

seminar tomorrow, if there's anything after that that we are

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

not clear with Inshallah, we can be in our Hajj classes. It will

00:26:08 --> 00:26:13

lead up to Hajj month in sha Allahu, taala. And then we have a

00:26:13 --> 00:26:16

games evening that's happening next Friday, hosted by the masjid

00:26:16 --> 00:26:20

itself, commencing at 6pm inshallah onwards. So we ask the

00:26:20 --> 00:26:24

entire community inshallah to come and have a beautiful evening with

00:26:24 --> 00:26:27

us at the masjid that will be a fundraiser towards the masjid and

00:26:27 --> 00:26:31

the Mater rasa inshallah. And then I'm going to leave the next point

00:26:31 --> 00:26:32

to our community,

00:26:34 --> 00:26:35

which will be Inshallah,

00:26:37 --> 00:26:40

spearheaded by our honorable chairman, Asgar Ali Khan

00:26:40 --> 00:26:44

Inshallah, who will give us some exciting news. I am extremely

00:26:44 --> 00:26:47

excited about this, and I'm sure and certain that all of us will be

00:26:47 --> 00:26:50

extremely excited about this. This is what we were waiting for,

00:26:50 --> 00:26:53

Inshallah, and this is this one step towards where we want to be.

00:26:53 --> 00:26:57

Nilahi talami dua for us. So I'm sure everybody's like, what is

00:26:57 --> 00:27:00

Mona talking about? Inshallah? Again, I'm not going to let them

00:27:00 --> 00:27:03

wait in limbo anymore. Inshallah,

00:27:07 --> 00:27:09

Salama

00:27:12 --> 00:27:16

has built this really up so Inshallah, hopefully it will will

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

live up the expectation expectations. Inshallah,

00:27:20 --> 00:27:24

many of you have attended our Eid program, our Ramadan program,

00:27:24 --> 00:27:29

preceding Eid, and Eid itself, the Eid program Subhanallah, what a

00:27:29 --> 00:27:35

wonderful program it was. And we've noticed, even with Juma in

00:27:35 --> 00:27:41

over the past few months, we've noticed that there is a growth in

00:27:41 --> 00:27:46

this community, a huge growth. It's the growth is actually

00:27:46 --> 00:27:50

exceeded expectations. It's been phenomenal. Subhanallah and

00:27:51 --> 00:27:56

on Eid day itself, we had the entire courtyard filled to

00:27:56 --> 00:27:59

capacity. There wasn't a place for someone to sit. It was that full.

00:27:59 --> 00:28:08

And it as heartwarming as it, it was and is. It's also for us as

00:28:08 --> 00:28:12

the mutawalis of the masjid, it's also heartbreaking that we are not

00:28:12 --> 00:28:16

able to accommodate everybody, to give them comfort seating, whether

00:28:16 --> 00:28:19

you come on time, whether you come late, but we want to try to

00:28:19 --> 00:28:25

accommodate everybody, and to date, we've worked within

00:28:26 --> 00:28:32

the confines of our current space. Alhamdulillah, we have 3600 square

00:28:32 --> 00:28:38

meters of community use space. We lease property for parking. We are

00:28:38 --> 00:28:42

engaging with City of Cape Town and with PWP, as well as with pick

00:28:42 --> 00:28:46

and pay to try and lease the the land across the road, which is in

00:28:46 --> 00:28:49

the parkway. And there are many ideas, but Alhamdulillah, these

00:28:49 --> 00:28:56

are all projects that have been in the pipeline for years, and we are

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

bursting at the seams. So as an executive committee, it's not only

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

our endeavor to provide wonderful programs and keep getting our

00:29:05 --> 00:29:09

attendances increasing, because that's not sustainable. And we've,

00:29:09 --> 00:29:13

Alhamdulillah, approached one of the adjacent properties, one of

00:29:13 --> 00:29:18

the houses that was on sale, and we've put in an offer to purchase,

00:29:18 --> 00:29:19

and Alhamdulillah, it was accepted.

00:29:22 --> 00:29:26

Alhamdulillah, so we are working with in the limitations of land

00:29:26 --> 00:29:31

use management and all the other confines of the City of Cape Town

00:29:31 --> 00:29:37

and province, and the intention, Inshallah, is to use that property

00:29:37 --> 00:29:41

to decentralize some of our operations that are taking up

00:29:41 --> 00:29:45

kneeling spaces in this masjid, so that when we have the big

00:29:45 --> 00:29:49

occasions, that we are able to accommodate the musalis for the

00:29:49 --> 00:29:54

big nights, for the all the other programs that we generally tend to

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

have, and Alhamdulillah, we've seen with all the different

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

nasheed.

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

So on this Masjid is full to capacity. So Inshallah, we will be

00:30:04 --> 00:30:08

launching a fundraising campaign. I know many of you, when you see

00:30:08 --> 00:30:12

me at this mic, then you know I'm going to ask for money. So it's,

00:30:12 --> 00:30:14

it's deja vu, 2021

00:30:17 --> 00:30:21

so we'll basically be also you will be seeing me from time to

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

time, but I can tell you, it's something that the entire

00:30:24 --> 00:30:29

executive unanimously voted in favor of, and we've got it's a

00:30:29 --> 00:30:35

strategic plan that has a 2024 goal, a 2025 2026 Inshallah, and

00:30:35 --> 00:30:38

we are working to serve the community, not only in terms of

00:30:38 --> 00:30:42

our programs, but also in terms of creating infrastructure that is

00:30:42 --> 00:30:46

able to house everyone. And our Nia is, I mean, and this is a

00:30:46 --> 00:30:50

generous community, so please, when we do launch, please donate

00:30:50 --> 00:30:55

generously. But our Nia is as such. There are two fold. One is

00:30:55 --> 00:30:59

that we build this capacity, but we want the masjid to be filled,

00:30:59 --> 00:31:02

not only for the big nights when we have for the five daily, oh

00:31:03 --> 00:31:06

God, the five daily. Wax, the five daily Okay, when we have those

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

watts, we want the Fajr Salah, the Ishai salah, when we don't, when

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

we see the numbers dwindle, that is our fervent near so Inshallah,

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

may Allah make these spaces become available to us. May the

00:31:20 --> 00:31:23

purchasing of the property, we've paid the deposit. Alhamdulillah,

00:31:23 --> 00:31:26

may it be a success. We now have a short rule that we need to catch

00:31:26 --> 00:31:30

up with and inshallah. We will tell this Masjid to the brim for

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

every watt inshallah and Inshallah,

00:31:37 --> 00:31:40

mister. Mean, I think, how do you feel about that.

00:31:41 --> 00:31:45

Allah Akbar, we've waited. I've waited long. You know, I started

00:31:45 --> 00:31:49

14 years ago as a small, little, young Imam. Then I thought, look

00:31:49 --> 00:31:51

at the masjid. It's so small. Subhanallah, I'm looking at the

00:31:51 --> 00:31:56

same faces every week. Wallahi, I knew where every person said, that

00:31:56 --> 00:31:59

is how for for the for 10 years of my life, I saw everybody said,

00:31:59 --> 00:32:03

mustaba is sitting there. Mr. Johan is sitting there. I knew

00:32:03 --> 00:32:05

where everyone was sitting. Taruba. Ida said, Yeah, always at

00:32:05 --> 00:32:10

the aji you know. And now, you know, every week, Allah, but it

00:32:10 --> 00:32:14

makes my heart happy. I always see new faces. I see how Masjid tuba

00:32:14 --> 00:32:17

is growing. I see when these programs that's running here, how

00:32:17 --> 00:32:20

people come from all over and, yeah, why is it because of your

00:32:20 --> 00:32:23

duaz, because of you coming to the masjid and cry to Allah for the

00:32:23 --> 00:32:28

masajid to be filled. And this Masjid will never be too small. We

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

will do as much as we can to accommodate for people to come to

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

the house of Allah, to Allah. May Allah bless you all inshallah. So

00:32:35 --> 00:32:40

with that news, remember man Bana, whoever builds Inshallah, Masjid,

00:32:40 --> 00:32:44

a masjid in the path of Allah, but Allah, Allah will vote for you,

00:32:44 --> 00:32:48

similar a castle in paradise. How many castles Do you have already?

00:32:50 --> 00:32:55

Allah, there's never enough. Build your castles because,

00:32:56 --> 00:32:58

inshallah say, I mean

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

Buddha. Youngster said, I mean, the Bush Vita was clavitroat, but

00:33:05 --> 00:33:10

So may Allah says, May Allah help Inshallah, but this is something

00:33:10 --> 00:33:13

that only us, is the community can do. And Wallahi, like our

00:33:13 --> 00:33:16

chairman, I said, we have a generous community. Their hearts

00:33:16 --> 00:33:21

mashallah just open to spend in the Cause of Allah. And may Allah

00:33:21 --> 00:33:24

accept from you and everything that you do not, not only must

00:33:24 --> 00:33:26

Allah increase you in the year after, Allah must increase you a

00:33:26 --> 00:33:30

year also, inshallah to do much more that we have, that we can

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

have, Malala, every, every, every week here also, we don't mind.

00:33:33 --> 00:33:33

Inshallah,

00:33:34 --> 00:33:38

Allah, lovely. Inshallah. Barakah. We are all excited about this. It

00:33:38 --> 00:33:41

has started. We've paid the deposit. Alhamdulillah, it's true.

00:33:41 --> 00:33:44

So now communication will go out to the community. We'll hear about

00:33:44 --> 00:33:49

it for a few months, probably. And I believe, like in covid, I think

00:33:49 --> 00:33:52

it was three months that building at the back was standing. In three

00:33:52 --> 00:33:55

months they built that building, you know, Inshallah, I think if

00:33:55 --> 00:33:59

that building is so big, our Masha Allah chairman has designed and,

00:33:59 --> 00:34:02

you know, see that everything go into place. I think it will only

00:34:02 --> 00:34:02

take us a month,

00:34:04 --> 00:34:08

because, like a nervous, lucky, but say, I mean, still, I mean

00:34:08 --> 00:34:11

barakla Allah, bless you all Inshallah, salaam, Alaikum,

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

00:54:34 --> 00:54:37

our observance of salatul, Jumah, Oh Allah, on this day of Jum in

our community has got this clear tidings and this good news, Oh

00:54:41 --> 00:54:44

Allah, we ask of you to grant us goodness in this project. Oh

00:54:44 --> 00:54:47

Allah, many of us may have moved to this community after the masjid

00:54:47 --> 00:54:50

was established, and we may have had a sense of feeling as if we

00:54:50 --> 00:54:53

were left out or did not get an opportunity. Oh Allah, you have

00:54:53 --> 00:54:57

presented an opportunity for us to also plug into the infrastructure

00:54:57 --> 00:54:59

that binds our community together. Oh Allah.

00:55:00 --> 00:55:03

This new and added facility to our community may be one way many more

00:55:03 --> 00:55:06

people will be able to take benefit. Allah must merciful,

00:55:06 --> 00:55:10

allow us, grant us the capacity of being able to make over to You

00:55:10 --> 00:55:14

that which You have given us as a guli law, so that, as you have

00:55:14 --> 00:55:16

mentioned in Quran, be an allahummul Jan, so that we may

00:55:16 --> 00:55:20

barter and trade with you to secure our Jannah. Allah must

00:55:20 --> 00:55:23

merciful. We ask if you do grant us goodness in this project and

00:55:23 --> 00:55:27

keep our community one that is always united on good. Allah must

00:55:27 --> 00:55:31

merciful. Save us from the fit and the trials and tribulations found

00:55:31 --> 00:55:35

in other communities. Oh Allah, keep us always with rahmah and

00:55:35 --> 00:55:38

compassion and mercy and love and care and consideration for each

00:55:38 --> 00:55:42

other. Allah must merciful. We have reflected on the hadith of

00:55:42 --> 00:55:44

habi Muna, Mustafa, Muhammad, sallAllahu, alaihi wasallam, and

00:55:44 --> 00:55:48

the words of Your Glorious Quran Allah, where you mentioned to us

00:55:48 --> 00:55:51

wala the akharaj al Mara, that you are the one who brings forth

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

vegetation, Raja allahum, Husa and Aha, and then you cause that

00:55:55 --> 00:55:58

vegetation to become dark, like stubble. Oh Allah, as we see the

00:55:58 --> 00:56:03

change outside in the physical environment where the plant life

00:56:03 --> 00:56:06

is becoming Brown and eventually falling off. Our Allah, allow us

00:56:06 --> 00:56:12

to appreciate the shortness of our lives and the need for us for turn

00:56:12 --> 00:56:15

to you in forgiveness. Oh Allah, you are most forgiving. Oh Allah,

00:56:15 --> 00:56:19

you have mentioned to us as a consequence of us. Turning to you

00:56:19 --> 00:56:22

in forgiveness, your Sili Sama, arikum Mudra, you will bless us

00:56:22 --> 00:56:26

with literal and figurative reigns of your name and bounties from the

00:56:26 --> 00:56:28

heavens. In the skies, Allah, make us the recipients of your

00:56:29 --> 00:56:32

bounties. Oh Allah, we ask of you to make us to be from those who

00:56:32 --> 00:56:35

are perpetually showing to you gratitude for all that you have

00:56:35 --> 00:56:39

granted us, Oh Allah, as you mentioned in Quran book umlay In

00:56:39 --> 00:56:42

shakar aziran, that if you are grateful to you, you will grant us

00:56:42 --> 00:56:45

manifold increase. Allah, we are seeing the manifold increase in

00:56:45 --> 00:56:49

00:56:49 --> 00:56:52
