Auto-generated transcript:Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Alhamdulillah. My dear brothers and sisters and elders, we come to the last of the reminders I want to make about these 10 days, and that is the days of Hajj and the day of Arafah. These 10 days are very significant because they also include the days of Hajj. And Allah SWT said about the day of Arafah, which is the day of Hajj when people are standing in Arafah. He said there is no day on which Allah SWT frees more people from the hellfire than on the day of Arafah. Hajj is the pillar of Islam as we know, and which must be performed at the earliest opportunity. Rasulullah SAW warned us against delaying the performance of Hajj, and warned us that delay may result in deprivation and deep regret. Rasulullah SAW is reported to have said, to perform Hajj, which is the first obligation, obligatory for Hajj, as none of you knows what may happen to him. He said, you don't know, maybe you will die before that. Maybe you will not get time after that, do it. So as soon as you have the opportunity, go make Hajj. And this is in Musnad Imam Ahmad, in Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah. And then also in Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah, Nabi SAW said, which means, whoever wants to do Hajj, let him hasten, let him hurry to do so. Hajj reminds us about the virtue of obedience, because it's rituals, are an enactment of the actions of Ibrahim and his family, which Allah SWT declared to become and to be rituals of worship. They did those actions because they needed to. We do them because they did them, in honour of them, and in honour of that Allah SWT forgives our sins. This is the wages of obedience. Allah SWT caused those actions, not just to be remembered, but He made them the rituals, the rituals of Hajj. Abu Hurairah narrated that he heard Rasul saying, whoever performs Hajj and does not commit any obscenity or transgression, shall return free from sins as he was on the day his mother gave birth to him. And this is Haib Bukhari, we make this dua for all those people who have gone for Hajj this year, including those who went from here. And we ask Allah SWT to enable us to go next year, InshaAllah, especially those who haven't done Hajj. In the name of Allah, make it your topmost priority. If you are eligible, meaning if you have the money and you have the health, then that has to become the number-one priority for you, InshaAllah. Abdullah bin Umar narrated that Rasul said, the one striving in the cause of Allah, Jihad feeh Sableeelillah, and the one performing Hajj, and the one performing Umrah, these are all the guests of Allah. He called them, and they responded to His call. and he answers their dua. And this is in Ibn Majah. It's a beautiful opportunity to ask Allah SWT for whatever you want, and Allah SWT promised to give it. Hajj is a lesson in life which is worth reflecting on. When the pilgrim puts on, when the hajj puts on his ihram, he is reminded that this will be the way in which he will begin the journey of his eternal life in two pieces of cloth. During hajj, he stands equal to everyone else there, without any sign to distinguish him from anyone else, shorn of all his pomp and splendor, alone as a supplicant. On the plain of Arafah, he stands bareheaded and disheveled with two million others, begging Allah SWT for his mercy and forgiveness. When he does tawaf, he is reminded of Khalilullah Ibrahim AS, our father and the father of the ummah, who built the house to be a place of sanctuary and a place of peace. He is reminded of the blessing which Allah SWT has bestowed upon humankind in the form of this blessed water, which millions of people have drunk through the ages. And Rasulullah SAW said, make a niyah and Allah will accept that dua. He said, zamzam is for whatever it is, drug for. When he does tawaf, between Safa and Marwah, he is reminded of the actions of our mother Haja AS and the mother of Ismail AS, the wife of Khalilullah Ibrahim AS. She didn't sit and wait for the help of Allah SWT...…

Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise belongs to Allah. My dear brothers and sisters and elders, we are in the middle of the best days of the year that Allah has blessed us with. We thank Allah for giving us life, for guiding us to Islam and for allowing us to witness another sacred month, the month of Dhul Hijjah, particularly the first ten days, which are the most virtuous days in the calendar. These days are a divine gift from Allah for our spiritual growth, for our to earn hasanat through acts of worship and the opportunity to earn immense reward. Allah mentioned these days and He said, By the dawn and by the ten nights. When Allah takes an oath by something, it is an indication of its great significance and status. The Mufassireen are agreed upon that and including Ibn Kathir and others, that when Allah said, Layali Nashab, the ten nights, it also refers to the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah. That these ten nights, Walfajri wa Layali Nashab refers to the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah. Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la mentioned night, but it also includes the day of Dhul Hijjah. And we have the supporting dhalil of Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la mentioning with respect to Zakariya, when he said, You will not speak for three days in one place and three nights for another place. So it means that the days and the nights, it means the same thing. Rasulullah , whose words are the truth, further emphasized the importance of these days in several authentic hadiths in Sayyid Bukhari, which are the words of the Prophet . Rasulullah is reported to have said, there are no days in which righteous deeds, good deeds, are more beloved to Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la than these days. They asked him, not even jihad in the path of Allah. He said, not even jihad, except for a man who goes out with his life and wealth and does not return, returns with nothing. Rasulullah is telling us that, acts of worship during Dhul Hijjah are not accepted by Allah. The Prophet is reported that the day of judgement is not even jihad in all the paths of Allah. They said, there are less days in which righteous deeds are not accepted by Allah than these days. The Sahaba, Ridhu Allah, Alayhim Ulay, Wain, Wain. They asked him, not even jihad in the path of Allah. worship during these 10 days such as salah fasting charity zikr recitation of quran and so on and more beloved to him than doing the same deeds in any other days that is why rasul sallallahu used to fast all the first nine days of the hijjah and especially the day of gharafat which obviously if you to the fire if you fast the nine days the ninth day is the day of gharafa and he said that fasting on the day of gharafa expiates and wipes out the sins of the past year and the coming year and this is a muslim the day of gharafa or yawal is the name for the ninth of the hijjah just as yamun nahar is the name given to the day of which is the 10th we have been instructed to celebrate it and to fast on it wherever and whenever it occurs in our country of residence we have not been instructed to follow saudi arabia or any other country and if anyone interested i will give you the latest fatwa from the legend of roma of saudi arabia which specifically states this do not follow saudi arabia follow the sighting in your country so we have not been we have asked we have been asked to use that day for our benefit not to create dissonance and division and conflict in the country while notMi6aeidaiwa vyekass aun eye ati I remind myself and you that we must become greedy about accumulating good deeds. Just think of how greedy we are with accumulating wealth. We do not miss any opportunity. We don't care how painful it may be and how hard we may need to work or what other activity or interest we may need to give up. And may Allah help us, we don't even worry about whether it is halal or haram. But we must get wealth, anyhow. If there is an opportunity to make money,…

Auto-generated transcript:I will tell you since you are young boys, I'll tell you a story about another young boy. And about this young boy, the story refers to these days that we are going through. This young boy was his father. He didn't meet his father. His father left him in a particular place just after he was born. And after that, the father came back when he was maybe 10 years old or something like that. And the father was in his 90s. And the father took him for a walk. And as they are walking, the father says to him, I have seen in my dream that I am slaughtering you for Allah. He said, O daughter, do what you are commanded to do. You will find me, if Allah wills, of those who are patient. Allah says that Ibrahim, when Ismail was old enough to walk with him, his father said to him, I have seen in my dream that I am slaughtering you. Look, what do you see? And his son says, O my father, do as you have been commanded. And inshallah, you will find me among those who are patient. Right? So the father, he hasn't seen the father. He hasn't seen the father for his whole life, effectively. And the first time he sees his father, this is the conversation. The father says, I have seen in my dream that I am slaughtering you for the sake of Allah. And then his father asks him a very strange question. He says to him, He said, you look, what do you see? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? He says, you look, what do you see? And the answer of the boy, the amazing thing, first of all, if somebody asks you a question, look, what do you see? What is the automatic response to that? What will you say? So look where? If I say look, look where? In my pocket? Behind me? Outside? The boy does not ask. Because he knows what his father is talking about. Imagine somebody who is raised in such a way that such a question does not confuse him, it does not perplex him, it does not get, what's wrong with my dad? He says, do as you have been commanded. Do as you have been commanded. And you will find me, insha'Allah, among the people who have sabr. You know the name of the boy? Yes. Is this Ibrahim's son? Ibrahim's son? Yes. What was his name? Ismail . Ibrahim's son, Ismail . And that was a good recovery, insha'Allah. The point I'm making is that, think about it from another angle. He was a boy. He was a boy like you. He was a boy like you. He was a boy like you. What makes them special? He was a boy like you. He was the product of a single parent. Today we talk about a single parent. There was no father. From the time he was born to the time of this conversation, there was no father involved. Ibrahim was not there. He was raised by his mother alone, Hajar . Single parent. How did she raise him in such a way that, number one, when he sees his father, he respects his father, he has regard for his father, right? And number two, he's already connected with Allah to such an extent that when his father asks him this question, which, if you look at the question, it's a very strange question. He knows what he's talking about. And then he gives him such a beautiful answer. He does not say, you will find me among the sabirin. He says, inshaAllah. He says, inshaAllah. If Allah wills. Because he's talking about slaughter, you can't say, well, you know, I've done this before, I know I can bear the pain. No. He doesn't know. What does it mean to be saying, I will slaughter you? What slaughter? He doesn't know. He doesn't know. He doesn't know. He doesn't know. He doesn't know. He doesn't know. He doesn't know. He doesn't know. InshaAllah. It also shows us how, both for Ibrahim and Ismail, the number one important thing, the overwhelming thing, was the will of Allah. Ibrahim never asked Allah , why should I slaughter my son? What would I... After all, you gave me a son. After so many decades of making dua, now I had the little boy.…
