We bear witness that no one is worthy of worship but Allah And we bear witness that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is indeed his final messenger. The best of speech is the book of Allah. And the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. May Allah Subhana Allah make us amongst those who listen to the best of speech, the book of Allah and follow its commandments. And may Allah Subhana Allah make us amongst those who come to know the best of ways the way of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
and make us amongst his followers. Allahumma Amin Allahumma Amin Allahumma Amin. As you know my brothers and sisters, these are the days of Hajj and during the time of Hajj, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gave one of his last public speeches,
an event that is known as Whittle Wada.
The Fair will hope by sermon that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam delivered on the ninth of the hedger on the Day of Arafah, which is going to be coinciding in sha Allah with this coming Monday. And we want to take some time just reflecting upon this speech that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gave in it the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam begins by way of captivating people's attention. And he said, Are you a nurse is my mini fella and de la, come, come by the army.
He said, People listen attentively to me, for it may well be that I will not meet you again. That I will not see you again. And this is why they call it and whether the idea of farewell that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is speaking, as if he knows that this is not happening. This is not happening again. So he speaks to the people. And subhanAllah there is a beautiful study in speeches, something that is referred to as textual criticism, where you just have an overlook view of what the speech is about before you go into the
content of the of the speech. And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam begins and he said, Are you a nurse? All people, not a single time in this speech. The Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam ever said you helped me noon or believers and they say the point here is whatever the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is saying is going to be universal. And as you know, I'll Quran you have to pay a hole. Are you a nurse? We have the mother Alia Lavina.
And we see the style in the Quran. Sometimes the Quran would say Are you a nurse or mankind? And sometimes the Quran say oh you believe? And everywhere the Quran says Are you a nurse or mankind? Whatever comes after it is a universal value. No exception? Are you a nurse in a HELOC?
Are you her nurse? Itakura bacame a Johanna. Every time the Quran calls upon all people after it comes a universal a universal obligation. All mankind we create a new from a single pair of male and female no exception there. Are you a nurse or mankind be mindful of Allah no exception. Allah invites everybody to be mindful of him subhanaw taala So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam speaks and he speaks in such a way are you harness all mankind or people? Listen to me. Chances are I will not see you again. So my opponent Wu sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the demand. What unwelcome what? Haram Alikum God Almighty only fish or honeycomb Heather
Three biological hazards. And then the Prophet peace be upon him speaks. And he declares the first thing mandate and he says, oh people remember this, your blood, your life, that is your property, your wealth. Your Honor, is sacred, like the sacredness of this month, the sacredness of this day, the sacredness of this place, the city of Morocco. This is what we call the sanctity of life. And especially nowadays, this idea of the sanctity of life is so absolutely needed. The world has gone mad the amount of violence that we are witnessing specially in this year 2021 is absolutely crazy. from Cuba, to Colombia, to Haiti, to Lebanon, to South Africa to Syria, you name it, so much
violence, so much local violence, that 2021 is destined to be the most ridden gun Violent Year in the last two decades in the United States. We are only in July, and there has been a report of 296 mass shootings in the United States. This is only July in the year is not over yet. And the definition of mass shooting is an incident where four or more people have been killed. We have had almost 300 of these in just the beginning of this of this year so far. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam tells people, human life, sanctity of human life, sacredness of human life is very important. And he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam does not stop there. He tells people it's not just
people's lives that are sacred. Their wealth is sacred. Don't take anything that does not belong to you know your Hindu man who elaborately BFC men, the wealth of anybody is not halal, unless they willingly gave it to you.
None of it is halal unless it was taken or given by people willingly the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam says,
Then he goes, not only their property and their wealth and their life, but also their honor. Don't speak ill of people. And subhanAllah the more we honor these things that don't speak ill of people, don't take something that does not belong to you, then it even becomes more important that you don't even think about killing people. So the Prophet peace be upon him, tells us about the sanctity of life. But he the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam does something so beautiful here, he tells people, that human life is as sacred as this month, as sacred as this day, the day of Arafah as sacred as displace the city of Mecca. Because sometimes, unfortunately, we have a tendency, being
very shallow and being very immature, that we give importance to things to buildings to times more than we do to human life.
It was said that one time the Prophet peace be upon him, looking at the Kaaba, a sacred Houseman, built by Ibrahim Ali Salam, the very first house that was built dedicated to the Oneness of Allah subhanaw taala. He looks at the cabin, what does he say? Wallahi in the hermetic altimeter enveloppe he said by Allah, your sanctity and your sacredness is so valuable in the estimation of Allah. And then what does the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam say, we're in a hurry Mata de Mille Muslim,
Allah hemming. But the life the blood of a believer is more sacred in the estimation of Allah than this building right here. Within Hadith or even your own lesser word in a one on Allah him and Caitlyn Marie in Muslim. He said that the destruction of the Kaaba is the lesser evil in the estimation of Allah than that the killing of an innocent soul. But it has become we've become so accustomed to it, that the idea of just hearing about a mass shooting doesn't bother people anymore, man. We just hear it and we just cruise by it's just one of many news we've gotten. We've gotten so used to it doesn't bother us anymore. So much so that the Prophet peace upon him said that towards
the end of time, there is going to be this idea of abundance in hartje knowledge and people say prophet of Allah what this What is What do you mean this highridge chaos. He said there is going to be so much killing Fela yet the real Cartullo female cattle Wallah yet they will mark tool of human
history there is going to be so much chaos and so much killing so much so that those who kill don't know why they're killing. And those who have
being killed, do not know why they're being killed a
few years back, there was a tourist from South Africa. And he just happened to be taking a morning jog. Then all of a sudden, you know, two people came and killed him. Two young people, two teenagers came and killed him. And when they were apprehended later on, the police is interviewing them and they said, you know, this guy said, No, we, we don't we don't know him. So why did you kill him? You know what the response was? We were bored.
We were bored. That's what they said. We were born we did not know what to do. So we decided to entertain ourselves by killing somebody else. May Allah Subhana Allah save us Europa, Allah mean, such foolishness.
They were those who kill don't know why they're killing. And those who were killed, don't even know why they're being killed. So the Prophet peace be upon him gives this human charter. Listen, all mankind, everybody listen to this. Set your lives, your property, your honor, a sacred like this month, like this place like this, like this day.
And then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam goes on reminds people who are in a subtle corner of bulking phase alicona and America. Then he said people remember that one day you shall all meet your Lord, and you will all be questioned about your deeds, value at the many to many Amanat who said Let those who have been given something for safekeeping that give it back. Give it back, lest you be questioned by Allah subhanho wa Taala and then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam then goes on to speak. Remember, here he is speaking to all mankind. He said, we're in the color ribbon, mouth more than I have another declaration to you mankind. He said, All usually, all interest from
the days of Jehovah are now throw them under my feet. We're in a salaryman Alba, who Reba, Emile Abbas. And the first jujur interest that we are going to lay aside is that of my own uncle, Al Abbas.
Here the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam after speaking about human sanctity, or sanctity of human life. Now he's talking about improper business deals, improper financial transactions, and the Prophet peace be upon him speaks about one way where the poor are exploited economic oppression. And he says, usually interest from now on mobile, it is all laid aside. The idea of lending people in their times of need, exploiting them, by charging them interest said that these are improper financial, improper financial deals.
And then he gave the example and he said, and the first one that we are going to do is that of my own family, my own uncle, Al Abbas, who use in the pre Islamic era, lend people money, charge them interest, his own interest is going to be the first one that is going to be laid aside. But we live in an era and in a culture, where interest is just the way of doing of doing things.
John Perkins writes a book published in 2004, he used to work for the US foreign policy. He writes a book and the title of the book is The Confessions of an ex, economic hitman. And he speaks and he says, My job was to convince third world countries to take loans that we know they cannot afford to pay back. He said, that was my job. Why would you do this? He said, we give them the loans, fully knowing and the loans are given in the form of big projects, engineering projects, that can only be done by US corporations said we give them these projects, they cannot pay it back. And as such, we have access to the natural resources, we have access to political influence. And not only that, but
the corporations are getting richer, while the poor are getting poorer. Let me give you an example. organda
organda pays the equivalent of $2 a month for the health care system for every citizen in Uganda. The same country pays $11 a month just to cover the interest on the loans that the country has taken per citizen in organda. organda is never coming out of poverty.
With this kind of a system. They're never coming out of they're never coming out of poverty.
He said we would give people these loans, fully known
They will not be able to pay it back. And that is when we get to exploit them.
So the prophets Allahu alayhi wa sallam refers to this and he says, this type of financial transaction, they are improper.
They take advantage of people, even though too many of us, you know, we just deal with it and somehow, you know what, my credit card this and my credit card that and but to go this way, just don't think of yourself. Think of what is happening to other people as well. So the Prophet peace be upon him speaks about matters issues that are impacting the global society here. And that is this whole idea of rebirth and that is why we as believers, you know, we shouldn't these practices, sometimes you're forced into it, but the exception can never be the rule, man, nor the idea of just living off your credit card. That is not, that is not good. That's not a healthy lifestyle. Somebody
beautifully once defined what a credit card is, he said, a credit card is a tool by which we buy things we don't need with one with money that we don't have at a price that we cannot afford to impress people we don't even like
they're how we live. That's how you live. That's how you live life, said colourable Jaya Hillier motto, in all these aspects of river. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, they are under my feet at this at this point.
And then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam speaks about this idea of Blood Vengeance. Something that just continuously also feeds this perpetual cycle of violence. And he said, and all this blood vengeance from the days of Jaya Helia, they are being laid aside. And the first time what we begin with is something that is within our own family and hearth, a young boy he was breastfeeding and and he was killed and the people are going after this type of who they are wanting to kill back and the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, everything, all that foolishness now comes to an end. And to set an example, I am going to begin with my own family. And then the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam continues to tell us about not just peace outside, not just the sanctity of human life, not just the idea of shunning improper financial deals, or just the idea of you know, giving back that which has been given to us for safekeeping. Then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is addresses. Yes, he's addressing all people. But then there is this time taken to address men. And what does he say Sal, Allahu alayhi wa sallam. He said, Are you a nurse?
In Nalini, sir Yquem Alikum helper said, Oh, mankind.
Your wives have rights.
We're in the law. kumara haka, and you also have rights.
And then the Prophet peace be upon him proceeds to tell us that this woman was haram
until she became Halal lawful to you, when we pronounced that we are taking them in the name of Allah subhanaw taala.
You know, when you listen to Muslims vows, we don't have a vow, but we have an exchange of Ebola and palop, you know, you make there is a polyp, you make a Shitala
you make a proposal, and then the proposal is accepted. You make the proposal. What do you say in the proposal is a I am marrying this woman, you know, in accordance to the book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Prophet salallahu, alayhi wasallam and the dowry agreed upon. Now, if you hear non Muslims weddings, people exchange vows, and these Vows are beautiful, I promise to honor to love and until death do us apart and this is a beautiful bow. However, we believe that there is more value in what has been said by the believers. And that is we begin this family with the name of Allah subhanho wa taala. Because the tendency is when we are married, we treat each other very well. As
long as we are in public.
When in public, we're very nice to each other,
appear to be very romantic. She takes good care of her husband, they're very nice to each other. But we know that in marriage,
what we do in public is not the most important. What is most important is what do we do to each other? When no one is looking?
That is what's most important. So during the time of exchanging these vows, the proposals and the acceptance of the proposal, what do people say, you don't have to worry about this for I made Allah my witness that I will be good to you be us in public or be us in private. I'll be good to you. And she responded the same I accept Mary
You according to the book of Allah said, You also don't have to worry, because I promise to be good whether we are in public, whether we are in private, we promise to be good to each other. So the Prophet peace be upon him speaks about this global peace. But then also it must be stemming from the piece that takes place at home.
It must come from there.
And remember, we said before that we make a distinction between our circle of influence, and our circle of concern. Our circle of concern is the globe. But our circle of influence is our immediate family. So we want to take care of our families. Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is telling brothers, be good to your wives. And by extension, he's also asking wives to be good to their husbands as well. If we're not good to each other at that level, then what happens afterwards? And that's not that's not important. That just becomes a facade. It just becomes a it just becomes a issue.
And then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam goes on and he speaks about the fraternity of the Ummah and that's such a beautiful thing. The fraternity of the ummah. Yeah, your nurse in normal movement owner,
said all mankind said remember that the believers are but one OMA, remember Subhanallah that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam here he is speaking to a universal crowd. Some people come from Yemen, some were locals, some art from Medina, some came from Syria. Others came from a very senior people just coming from all over, and then all of the sudden, they're hearing things that they have not heard before. And he tells them that they're believers, or fraternity, fraternity of the enamel Momina in normal mode,
and then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam goes on to say, later Jehovah Aliko, foreign, yet believable, but Otto merkabah said after I depart, do not go back to your old ways. Where you smite the next of each other
Muslims killing Muslims, Muslims killing Muslims man where somebody would walk into a masjid literally a masjid blow up the message say well why why did you do that? Come on. They're just a bunch of sheer us shall be blowing up a Mr. Say, why did you do that? They're just a bunch of Sunnis. And now Muslims killing each other, be it and displace or beat in that place. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, We just said that there is this fraternity of the Ummah, police after me, do not go back to these old ways.
And then finally, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam looks and he is concluding and what does he say? The supremacy of the hate? Or Yohannes in Nara, bakoma head. We're in about moi head could look only Adam. We're at the moment to wrap his head. No, this. Your Lord is one. Your father is one Adam Alehissalaam. And then he said, What are the moment to rob and Adam Alayhis Salam created from dust. And then he says, left on Lilia Arabi and other Adomian elaborate Gualala as well the other the other elaborate taco. He said an Arab is not superior to a non Arab and non Arab is not a superior to an Arab whites are not superior to blacks and blacks are not superior to white. But
there is something interesting here. Why does the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam say an Arab is not superior? Why does he why it is of all ethnic groups? Why does he pick the Arabs?
Because he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is an Arab.
Islam came to an Arab the Quran is the language of the Arab. So said that, even though in that feelings of chosen pneus, it can lead you to feeling arrogant, leading you to think that you're superior. So the prophets Allah wa salam, no, we're not doing that. We're not going there. An Arab is not superior to an Arab. And an Arab is not
inferior in any way, shape or manner. Blacks are not inferior to whites are not superiors. And when you look into this, and you see what was happening, you really appreciate the universality, and the relevancy of this speech, no matter the time, no matter the place. And that is why every time we begin to hot but we begin by saying, We're in Hyrule, Hedy had you Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the best of ways, the way of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam May Allah Subhana Allah make us amongst those who are committed to
The way of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Apolo Colheita was stopped for Allah Allah Allah confessed of Rahu in the hula for Rahim.
Al hamdu lillahi Wa Kafa
wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah Hello Mustafa wylam and bsria Oktava.
Now I say that hajj is one of the most beautiful, practical equalizers.
It is the biggest annual convention.
It is the biggest.
It is the most peaceful.
It is so peaceful, that the pilgrims are not even allowed to hunt, let alone kill each other. They're not even allowed to hunt. The pilgrims are not even allowed to cut the trees, save to the ecology of the place, safe to the people who are with you. It is the biggest peaceful demonstration.
It is the biggest annual convention. It is the biggest in terms of attendees in terms of purpose, in terms of diversity, in terms of duration, it is the biggest, the most beautiful, peaceful demonstration. It is the ultimate equalizer.
Because in it the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says love Allah Larrabee in Allah ihme and elaborate Taqwa it says superiority and inferiority of people is not because of the color of their skin. It is because of the piety that they have. And because you know, this idea of piety is something that is not visible to us, only Allah subhanho wa taala. Only Allah subhanaw taala knows what is in people's heart and who is closer to him, and who is far removed, who is far removed from him. And when you see this, when you see this idea of this display, beautiful display taking place, people just being equal in the in the sight of Allah equal, because you never know who's this person
standing next to you. And that's a beautiful demonstrations panel. And the world needs this today, more than any time, be it individual racism, be it systematic racism, be it racism that comes in the form of police brutality, whatever it is meant, we shun it, we speak against it, but most important also we live this equality that we speak. Because remember,
if what we believe in,
does not impact how we behave. Then what we believe in is not important.
We can say it as nicely as eloquently we can articulate it. But if we believe if what we believe in, does not impact how we behave, then what we believe in
is not important.
Please remember in sha Allah what the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, these are beautiful days where good deeds are most beloved to Allah subhanaw taala for those who are in good image for those who are not in pilgrimage, this coming Monday is going to be the Day of Arafah highly recommended that we fast on the day of our heart. We will break our fast here in sha Allah domesticate you are invited to be to be with us, please do let us know that it will be coming so that inshallah we can accommodate you in the best of ways that they have out of art is a day where people make a lot of dua, beginning after the war, all the way to McRib time for as long as you can

If any of us or our loved ones are not feeling well may Allah Subhana Allah give us a speedy recovery. If any of us or our loved ones are going through difficult times may Allah Subhana Allah ease our pain. If any of us or our loved ones have lost the way may lost contact bring us back to his way.
