Allah Hill ham. We extol the greatness of Allah.
		

			And we praise Allah Almighty God for His blessings and bounties and graces, which he is bestowed
upon us.
		

			We are commemorating through the Hajj
		

			that this gathering commemorates the culmination of the life and times of our great spiritual
patriarch Ibrahim or Abraham alayhis salam, peace upon Him.
		

			Abraham was a giant, a giant who story and whose lives many aspects of it are mentioned in the
Quran. We want to mention a few things from what our Lord relates about or from concerning Abraham
Alayhis Salam. Allah to Allah mentions in the Quran in Ibrahima can Mobtown ponytail Lilla honey
fell while I'm yaku min and Mushrikeen that Abraham was in Oma. For now for the purposes of
translation we will say, a nation unto himself,
		

			a very literal translation.
		

			He was strictly devoted, or strictly and dutiful to his Lord carnita Willem Hanifa
		

			Connie tendon dilla he was deeply devoted to God, strictly committed to monotheism and he was not
amongst the idolaters So Abraham or Abraham planted the seed of monotheism deeply into the soil of
the human garden so that we can flourish under the shade of the gifts that monotheism has given to
humanity. We just want to focus on the OMA in the Ibrahima can metal Tawny tending dilla the Ibrahim
was in Omaha and Omaha. Many meanings one he was a leader, OMA and Imam are from the same route Alif
mi meme,
		

			le A M M. Imam. Uma Ibrahim was a leader and to be a leader at the point in time that he lived on
about
		

			says people there was not a single person saying, let in a handle Allah there is no god but God,
there was not a single person that he knew who was saying La ilaha illa Allah. So he had to call
them
		

			to monotheism, here to call them to the purity of the worship of the oneness and the one God, the
oneness of God and the worship of that one unique God.
		

			It took courage brothers and sisters. It took courage. And courage is a quality that is especially
prevalent amongst young people. Young people have nothing to lose. So it's fitting that Abraham he
first displayed his courage as a young man. So when his people, they went away and returned and
found that the idols of stone and rocks and other material things that they made and they worship
those things that they made with their very own hands. Ibrahim destroyed them except the largest one
amongst them. And when he inquired, they inquired, he said, the largest one he did it, to just show
them how imbecilic
		

			their belief fall was. Anyway our Lord relation the Quran
		

			concern concerning this episode is related in many places Palu man father Heather be early Hatena in
the whole amount of body mean, they said Who has done this to our idols? Verily his an oppressor
		

			Carlos Amir Maranatha, taking your call whom you call Lulu who Ibrahim. They said we heard a young
man fat hen, Samira, Samira Anna 13, young coral, whom we heard a young man conspiring against them.
He's called Abraham. So as a young man, he smashed the idols. We asked all of our young people here,
both young and age, and young at heart, so that includes everyone. The ones who aren't young and age
are still young at heart.
		

			How much courage do we have to dedicate to smashing the idols that we find all around us? And
perhaps the greatest idol in our day and time is the idol of the self. The worship of the self, as
one documentarian describe the 20th century, the century of the self, the century that gave birth to
all of these atheistic movements, where people reject the worship of God, and substitute that innate
need to worship something with the worship of the self, with the worship of the clothes with the
worship of money taste of the dinar, you Abdullah dear Hamid Abdul Hamid Isa, Rwanda is the
worshipper of money and the worship of clothing, the worship of the of the self, brothers and
		

			sisters, we must smash these idols, the idol of materialism, the idol of militarism, the idol of the
self, we must smash these idols brothers and sisters so that our future generations can have the
opportunity to get in touch with themselves. And oma in the Ibrahima candle maternal Connie tele and
OMA is also a repository of moral virtue.
		

			So an OMA might contain a person known for their courage of his brothers. So courageous, are a
person who is known for their generosity or their sister, she is so generous of person that's known
for their fidelity. That person there's so faithful, Ibrahim or Abraham combined with him and in
himself, the qualities that were penalized in many separate and disparate individuals. The challenge
for us brothers and sisters in a day and time when morals and ethics are being belittled, when
people take pride in being being vulgar, when people take pride in being stingy, when altruism by
the followers of the likes of iron Rand is ridiculed. As a human weakness, we are the people who
		

			must stand up and demonstrate that it is a human virtue is a human virtue that provides us the
foundation to build a better world for ourselves and for our future generations. For that better
world will only come
		

			into being brothers and sisters, when we are caring people, and we are sharing people and we are
loving people, and we are merciful people, and we are generous people, and we are brave and
courageous people, we are faithful people. We are loyal people. That is the foundation for the
betterment of our world. And that is opposite of so many are claiming, as the great Egyptian poet
I've met shortly reminded us in the moment
		

			that we're in the habit of lacO, whom they have, who that nations are none other than the moral
systems that support them. And when their morality goes, they will soon follow. We are the people
who will join hands with others, just as Ibrahim Abraham is the patriarch of our Muslim community,
but he's also the patriarch of the Christian community and the Jewish community. And this is a
reminder of how important it is for us to join hands with all those like minded individuals who see
the virtue of monotheism who see the virtue of sound moral and ethics, to join hands with them, to
provide a bulwark against the forces of immorality, to broad provide a fortress to defend humanity,
		

			against the assaults of the barbarians of incivility, against the barbarians of war against the
barbarians of division against the barbarians, who would have humanity suffer for their own selfish
gain. May Allah bless us to be courageous, like Abraham alayhis salam, peace upon him. And in
concluding the first part of the goodbye, we remind you of the words of the poet simple words of
profound import, concerning the youth for young courageous person. He said, listen, fatter, men,
Carla Khanna, Abby, why that can affect him and Carla hair and her there that a courageous young
person is in one who says my forefathers did this in that. So as Muslims, we shouldn't be people. So
		

			Muslims, we build the Alhambra. We built the Taj Mahal. We built the comforter Sofra we built the
Masjid Al Aqsa, we built the Red Mosque, we built the Blue Mosque, we built the green mosque, know,
a courageous one young person is served as one who stands up and says Here I am here to enter that
and I'm going to build something in my day and my time with my skill and my ability and my
dedication. Listen, feta men holla can Abby well I can Alfetta manakala and there I'm Coolio Holly

Solina or karate or union. Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa salam. Brothers and sisters. This is
our day.
		

			Our country is calling out to us.
		

			The world is calling out to us.
		

			Amongst the great great virtues that Ibrahim
		

			epitomize
		

			is the virtue of
		

			brotherhood and sisterhood
		

			is the virtue of looking at the human being, and judging the human being, to paraphrase the words of
the great Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Not based on the color of their skin, but by the content based
on the content of their character.
		

			Ibrahim married Hotjar was from Egypt,
		

			a woman of African descent
		

			alayhi salam, and she was the mother of a smile.
		

			Sarah was the mother of his hoc or Isaac, brothers and sisters.
		

			Ibrahim or Abraham displayed tremendous courage
		

			throughout his life, and tremendous confidence in God.
		

			Justice when he left his wife and small child, and that barren forsaken valley,
		

			in the scorching Arabian sun, he had confidence that God will provide for them and God did provide.
He had the courage to follow his conviction. He had the courage to follow the ways that God
instructed him.
		

			Brothers and sisters,
		

			we need courage. As we go forth, and our lives with our lives in this day and time, we need courage
in the face of resurgent racism.
		

			To say that No,
		

			racism has no validity with us, because we were all created as brothers and sisters from a single
parent. And if we go set of parents rather, and if we go back far enough, that set of parents is
Adam and Eve, Adam, when Adam and Eve, all of us rather were black, rather white, whether we're red,
brown, yellow, polka dot purple, whatever, if we are human being we are the children of Adam, and
Adam, was created from the soil couldn't come in Adam, Adam, Adam movement to rob all of you are the
descendants of Adam and Adam is from the earth.
		

			That is our message to our nation, as racial racial tensions and racial prejudice and bigotry
threatens to cast us back 50 years of further into the past. We must be the people say no, we are
going forward. And we're going for it with an Abrahamic vision. We're going forward with Mohammed in
vision. And that vision, as our Prophet told us sallallahu alayhi wa sallam peace and blessings of
God upon him in Allah Hello a young guru in a canoe become in Hola Hola, Yong. Gu Ella swari comm
where and when he comes, Well, I can Yong Boo. Boo, we can call movie. Come on, Eddie come, the
Almighty God doesn't look at your physical forms. God doesn't care if you're black or white. God
		

			doesn't care if you're brown or yellow. God doesn't care if you're red, or any shade or any mixture,
a combination of all of those. God doesn't care if you're rich or poor. God doesn't look at your
skin color. God doesn't look at your hair texture. God doesn't look at your eye color. God doesn't
look at your hate. God doesn't look at your way.
		

			God doesn't look at your bank account. God doesn't look at your stock portfolio. God doesn't look at
what you have or don't have. God looks at your hearts and he looks at your deeds. So our challenge
is to make sure that our hearts are pure and that our deeds are sound that is our message to our
country and makes amongst other things our Lord tells us in the Quran as we've mentioned previously
in part
		

			and yeah, you have nurse addressing humanity. All of us regardless of our religions, our colors our
Creed's your or your head nurse in a HELOC, Nachman Decker. In other words, you are now coming to
Reuben Welcome back in Lolita out of who in karamo come and Allah has come in Allah Allah even
heavier Oh humanity. Verily We have created you from a single couple of male and female. And then we
made you a net into nations and tribes in order that you may recognize in each other the creative
power of God, not that you may hate and despise and look down on one another. We look up to each
other. We look up to each other
		

			As a creation of our Lord, we look up to each other as the crown of God's creation. We look up to
each other as an individual. Each and every one of us, regardless of who we are, who's been ennoble
by our Lord was karamba, Benny Adam, we look up to each other as dignified, noble human beings. This
is our message. This is our calling in this day, and in this time, and the most noble of you, and in
that karamo and Allah He at the car come the most noble of you're the one who's most mindful of God.
Brothers and sisters, may we be blessed like Abraham to be mindful of God. When we wait, may we be
blessed to be courageous people. When may we be blessed? Like Abraham to be people who understand we
		

			have a mission. We have a mission to bring to humanity. We have a message to bring to humanity, that
we're not just feathers floating in the breeze, whichever way the breeze blows, there we go. If the
breeze of this intellectual fad blows, there we go. We're communist at the breeze of this

to convey. Brothers and sisters Let us raise our hands in prayer.
