Wasim Kempson – Hajj Faq 01 – How Can I Maximise the Reward of My Hajj

			So I want to come check.
		

			My question is, how can I maximize the reward of hedge? It's below 100 level salatu salam ala
Rasulillah Salam aleikum, wa rahmatullah wa barakato. Brothers Sisters. So whatever act of Obeida we
offer, we have in the back of our minds that we want Allah subhanaw taala. To accept that deed. We
want Allah general Allah to accept the action, or that what you put forth whether it's your Salah,
or your charity, or whatever goodness you helped with another person you want Allah subhanaw taala
to accept that.
		

			Allah subhanaw taala tells us in the Quran, in nemyria, Taco Bell Allahu Miniland, would clean that
indeed and Allah subhanaw taala only accepts from those who have Taqwa.
		

			This is a very emphatic i a very profound and powerful verse in which Allah subhanaw taala tells us
deeds
		

			or actions will only be accepted by Allah subhanaw taala. For those who have Taqwa of Allah subhanaw
taala. And who can claim categorically, I have the necessary amount of Taqwa of fear or piety, to
say that my action has been accepted. None of us can. But we have hope in Allah subhanaw taala,
that, whatever we do, that also Pendleton is merciful. He knows that I'm trying my best, and try my
best to be sincere, and that Allah subhanaw taala would accept from us. Even though if we look at
it, whatever we do for Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, it can never be really good enough
		

			for Allah subhanaw taala but Allah Allah, Allah, Allah is the most merciful, is the most kind. And
he accepts from His servants, as long as we are trying, but even in light, Allah knowing that all of
us, we're all sinners.
		

			So brothers, sisters, to maximize the reward. First and foremost, I want to mention two things,
something that inshallah to Allah, we have some form of control over, something that we can have an
impact on, and we leave the rest to Allah subhanaw taala.
		

			First one is that that action that you offer, is to make sure that you only do it for the sake of
Allah subhanaw taala you don't seek anything from this worldly life.
		

			And number two, that the way that you do that action, the act of worship, this is how the Prophet
salallahu alayhi wa sallam taught us, you don't make it up as you go along.
		

			I'm following the way of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Now concerning Hajj. The Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in the sound Hadith, Lita who do aneema And seeker can take from
me, your rights of the Hajj. This is a very clear Hadith that every single Muslim should perform the
hajj just as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam performed the Hajj. Our beloved Nabi sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam only performed Hajj once in his entire life.
		

			So the description of Hajj the most detailed, actually description of the Hajj was narrated by the
wisdom companion Jabber, Radi Allahu Anhu has a very long Hadith. In he describes how the Prophet
alayhi wa sallam performed the Hajj. There are many, many other Hadith which relate to us certain
aspects of the Hajj in greater detail. And when we bring everything together, we have a clearer
picture of how to perform the hedge.
		

			But I'm talking about the elite, I'm talking about the very best, those who want to maximize and get
the very most out of performing their hedge. What do I have to do? First and foremost, brothers and
sisters, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of you having not only the correct intention,
		

			but this intention meaning that just for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala everything that you do
concerning the hedge is for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala you do not seek when you come back the
title of hedge you are now a hedging that you want to tell everybody I am had you so and so I
performed my hedge and these type of titles that are given to certain individuals. Yes, if you
perform the hajj no doubt it is a great blessing from Allah subhanaw taala but it is at the end of
the day and a bad an act of worship which is dedicated and is for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala
it is not for you to go to the rooftops and to tell everybody, I performed my Hajj. What are you
		

			seeking from the people?
		

			The people can't give anything back to you from the Hajj that you offered. Do you seek praise and
thanks from the people
		

			We should not be seeking anything like this from the people. When you offer that Hajj you perform
that hajj, the struggles that you inevitably will go through during the Hajj. This was seeking Allah
subhanaw taala as reward. So brothers sisters throughout the Hajj, whatever you face,
		

			whatever you may go through during the Hajj. Remember, in the back of your mind, a person who
doesn't engage in complaining, and in arguing on to maximize my reward. Remember, the person who
stays away from these things, you will have a reward but isn't it later either which you can return
back to your homes back to your family is like the day that you were born? Maybe you are in your
late 50s or whatever age you are, you returned back with absolutely no sin, no sin that you carry on
your shoulders. Subhanallah and that if you were to die in that state, that you meet Allah subhanaw
taala with no sin. I mean, can you imagine that? A lifetime of sin and it was we know the Prophet
		

			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us coolibah Adam ohata Will Hyrule hotter in a boon, the older Sons
Daughters of Adam, they are sinners. But the best of the sinners are those who returned to Allah
subhanaw taala asking for forgiveness in a state of repentance. So all of our lives, we are sinning
and falling short.
		

			How many years of sins we have engaged in, but for what you do on four or five days, that transforms
your connection and your relationship and what happens to you in the hereafter.
		

			You had 5060 years of sin, you performed Hajj, which is five days long. And those five days because
of the level of sincerity of loss that you had dedicating everything to Allah subhanaw taala during
the Hajj, performing the hajj, as close to how the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam perform the hajj,
yes, there may be certain time restrictions, because of crowding, you cannot do that. But your
intention is at the very least, if I was able to be at this place, I would be there. But because of
logistics and because of organization, I have to be in my tent I have to be on the coach or whatever
the case may be. But Takala must have taught him you feared Allah subhanaw taala as much as you
		

			could. You adhered and you did as much as you can, as much as you could, and adhering to how the
Prophet alayhi wa sallam, he performed this hedge, then inshallah to Allah you will be able to
maximize your reward. There is no way to receive these rewards from Allah subhanaw taala except that
you purify your intention, and that best you can you offer your Hajj in the way that the Prophet
salallahu alayhi wasalam performed his Hajj there are no shortcuts to paradise there are no
shortcuts in your Hajj. If you want to maximize the reward. You have to maximize and push yourself
as much as you can, to adhere to that what is beloved to Allah subhanaw taala May Allah Allah Allah
		

			make it easy for all other Hajaj Amin Baraka lofi Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
