			SMIL Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah who Allah Allah he will be here woman while
Mohammed Al Hamdulillah as you're aware of me everywhere just returned from Omaha. So I wanted to
just share some reflections of my own thoughts about having gone at home that after two and a half
years of not being able to go because of COVID. And of course by the way, we should be aware that
our profit system he performed for cameras in his life we should be aware of this fact of zero. He
performed four cameras in his life. The first camera actually was the number of per day via in which
he did not actually go for camera but he got the rewards of the camera when he was stopped outside
		
00:00:35 --> 00:01:09
			of Maccha and they made to Halina and they shave their hair. He didn't actually enter but Allah gave
him the reward of their own rose. So this is the first model. The second one it was the year after
that, which was the makeup of ABS seventh year. The third camera was on the way back from thought if
when he conquered Maccha he wants to if on the way back he so when he entered Makkah and the
conquest of Makkah, he did not wear haram, which shows you can enter mecca for reason without a
haram. If you have to do for your doctor, you have a surgery there you may enter without Iran. So he
entered as a conqueror without a haram. He went to die if on the way back he did ombre. So this is
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			the third umbra. And then the fourth hombre was one who can tell me
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			that is the fathead the third
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:19
			hedge the hedge hated hedge what type of hygiene you do,
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:58
			not the material. There are needed hedge often also there was an ombre so these are the four arm
rods. Now of course, going for Omona is of course a very blessed act. And I wanted to do beyond just
the spiritual blessings. It's very important that spiritual blessings our Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam said, tab your open Alhaji will Umrah keep on repeating hajj and umrah keep on repeating
them once you do one aim for another. It's not just a one off bucket list you do it tab your open
Alhaji will Umbra keep on following up hajj and umrah because they get rid of your two things you
said sins and your poverty. They get rid of your sins and your poverty like a furnace gets rid of
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:38
			its impurities so to going for Hajj and Umrah Your sins are forgiven and your poverty because you're
spending for the way of Allah so Allah subhana wa Tada will give you back and of course there are
many blessings for O'Meara. Our Prophet system said that her jewel more TAMIU Wafula heater Allah
the one who does Hajj and the one who does Amara, they are the delegates and the guests of Allah,
Allah call them and so they responded to that call. That's why we have this notion of the Hajaj are
the guests of all of this from the Hadith, the Hajaj and the Mortimer are the guests of ALLAH
SubhanA wa taala. And we know that you know, hygiene and what our Prophet system said that whatever
		
00:02:38 --> 00:03:16
			from one moment to the next camera, our president said, all of your sins will be forgiven as long as
the major sins are avoided, right. Amara Cafaro to Lima Boehner Houma so from one room, to the next
room, Laura, so your sins shall be forgiven. So these are all spiritual blessings, the blessings of
tawaf, the blessings of kissing the Blackstone, the blessings of prayer, 100,000, prayers, extra
drop sadaqa all of this we all know, but there are also blessings that are of a psychological nature
of blessings that we should appreciate and understand. When we go for Hajj and Umrah and it should
be on our radar we should be wanting to go for Hajj and Umrah for all of these blessings of the
		
00:03:16 --> 00:04:01
			things that I personally again, this is my own reflections and thoughts and whatnot, that
Subhanallah we all feel that boost that energy recharge when we go to Makkah and Medina and we thank
Allah that we have such opportunities, you know, how do we recharge our spiritual batteries? We
thank Allah that He has given us blessed times and blessed places to charge our batteries. Imagine
if we didn't have anything special. How would we feel that boost? But Alhamdulillah Allah gave us
Ramadan, by the way three months for Ramadan. Allah gave us a time during that time that time is
blessing and our energy is recharged and Allah gave us places like Makkah and Medina and Jerusalem
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:42
			when we go there our iman is recharged. So we thank Allah for giving us the opportunity to come
closer to him via special times and special places of the things as well that I always appreciate
going for Hajj and Umrah is that when you're just sitting there, you see the diversity of the Ummah
in a way that you never really appreciate until you're there during hydrojetting ombre people come
in Khalifa Jin and Allah says in the Quran, from every nook and corner in the world, they're gonna
come to you. It just so happened this time when I was there. I saw large groups from the Central
Asian republics that I hadn't seen before. Get a really stand and Kazakhstan and Tajikistan large
		
00:04:42 --> 00:05:00
			groups coming from there for some reason they're allowed to come and as you know, because of COVID
There's restrictions. It was just so interesting to see Muslims from such places you don't really
know about interact with them. So this is of the things you appreciate the diversity of the ummah of
the spiritual blessings as well you go for Hajj and Umrah of the psychological
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:41
			Blessings. When you're sitting there when you're praying when you're doing so off. You see people of
all different backgrounds begging and pleading Allah making dua for their causes. And subhanAllah.
Allah azza wa jal is answering all of their causes. Couldn't a young woman who officia in every
single instance, Allah is in tion in a magnificent cause. Allah is answering the dua of the one and
you and you are marveling at how Great and Majestic is the creator, that all of the creations asking
everyone somebody has a cancer to be cured, somebody's child is sick, somebody is in debt, somebody
is a sinner, and they're all begging and pleading Allah around the Kaaba making dua, and you are
		
00:05:41 --> 00:06:19
			amongst them as well. And this is indeed one of the signs of Allah's Magnificence, and that Allah is
a summit. What is a summit mean? A summit means the one whom everyone asks of their needs. We see
this when you were in Makkah that everybody is begging and pleading in their own manner. And you
feel a sense of the the album or the greatness of Allah subhanho wa Taala of the spiritual and of
the psychological blessings of going when you go for Oman, or when you go for Hajj SubhanAllah.
Everybody's enthusiasm goes up. Even the worst sinner when he gets to the MCO when he gets to the
end of the Kaaba, even the one who never prays, when you get to their Omura Colosse you're going to
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:54
			be praying to her Jude 3am You're going to the older you're praying, and this is an amazing reality
that Allah is demonstrating to the worst sinner, you have it in you to be a better person, he gets
that opportunity when he's in that blessed place. The worst of the worst, how many people are
committing sins, they're drunkards, they're far from the Dean, when they come for Hajj, when they
come from Allah, it is as if they turn 180 degrees. So Allah is showing if you can do it here, you
can do it back there as well. This is a gift from Allah subhanho wa Taala of the amazing things as
well. And this is something that I was speaking with our differential class of bridges, the Imam of
		
00:06:55 --> 00:07:32
			Valley Ranch, mister, we're talking about the same thing. And he mentioned an interesting point,
which is very true. He said when people go for Umrah all of a sudden, they're very, very eager to
follow every aspect of the Sunnah. They ask you how did you do tawassul Allahu Allah Salam, they ask
you should I do the right hander? Should I go this way? Where do I say the Torah car? When do I
drink some some? Even though the two raka after though after drinking zamzam. Nobody said it's
followed. Nobody says it's broken. It's the sooner you do it. You do it. You don't you don't. But
when you get there, the bar is raised. You want to know step by step. Where did he sell Allah said
		
00:07:32 --> 00:08:13
			and pray? What did he do? What was the DUA that he made that suffer at Marois? Everybody knows it's
so nuts not broken. If you don't do it, your toe off is valid, your site is valid. But when you get
there the spirit of obedience. And by the way, nobody asks why is the right shoulder uncovered? Why
do we walk fast the first three times what nobody asks. They want to just submit now what a partner,
the spirit of of eemaan of Taqwa. This is the essence of worshipping Allah Obadiah. Samir. Now,
Walter, I know we hear we obey, nobody begins to find a loophole and questioning this and that that
spirit of a trust submission. This is what Islam is about. When Allah says we do when the President
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:57
			says we do. And when it comes to the rituals of Hajj and Umrah they are rituals that we call it an
arbitrary automatic audited manner. They're not rational that you understand why is it 718-518-8189?
Why do we go counter clockwise, there is no rational reason. It is a reason that Allah says to do
and we do. And this demonstrates the real spirit of worshipping Allah. And Allah is showing us just
like we don't question him there. Why should we question him over here, just like we submit one way
there, we want to do the best that we can. So to we should do over here. So the spirit of worshiping
Allah we tasted, and most importantly, and this is the reality that all of us feel the tiredness of
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:36
			the body, and the pleasure of the soul. There are demonstrated to be two distinct factors. Every one
of us is tired after hygiene O'Meara physically, it's actually much longer than we thought it will
be the walk between self and Mattawa, and jetlag, and the plane and whatnot, haram, it's such a
irritation and nuisance on the body. We all know it those that have been, but the way that the soul
feels, and the peace and the accomplishment, it demonstrates for us that the body and the tiredness
of the body means nothing when the soul is feeling satisfied. And this is of the greatest blessings
of worshiping Allah, especially when you put in that tiredness when you put in the effort, and then
		
00:09:36 --> 00:10:00
			you get the sweetness of that effort in there. ibadah. So all of these are some of the psychological
and the spiritual blessings of worshiping Allah in particular hydro Nomura. So I encourage all of
you and myself and shout out to Allah to aim to go for Hajj and Umrah as much as possible spend for
the sake of Allah, Allah azza wa jal give you back frequently go between hygiene ombre so that your
sins are forgiven and your risk is raised up May Allah subhana
