Hajj has been made compulsory for the one who can afford for the one who can manage استطاع actually means ability so the affording of it from a financial perspective is only one aspect of it then from a health perspective then from the authorities etc. etc. how ever what we need to realize is why did Allah سبحانہ و تعالیٰ make Hajj at one time everyone has to go in the month of ذلحجہ to Mina and then to Arafah and then to مزدلیفہ and then back to Mina and Pelt all the people have to do it at one time why didn't he say you can go at any time that is convenient to you yes عمرہ you could عمرہ is the minor or the lesser pilgrimage we call it the lesser pilgrimage because there is no English word that describes the word عمرہ of Arabic so Allah says when it comes to Hajj there is a specific time that all of you will do Hajj anyone who goes on another day or another month it's not accepted it's not considered Hajj the same applies to Ramadan it's one month of the year Allah didn't say okay you've got a fast 29 or 30 fasts each one of you can do it when it's convenient for you No Allah says this is the month you see the moon you fast you see the moon you have Eid I want to take it further this act of worship we have right now جمعہ there is a specific time within which it must be fulfilled on a specific day of the week why did Allah decide that it has to be at a certain time a certain day when it comes to جمعہ when it comes to Ramadan certain timeframe when it comes to Hajj certain place certain time have you ever thought of it because he wants us to be together as an امہ he wants us to be together as an امہ he wants us to recognize each other to realize that you are but a number to realize that the arrogance the حورتنس the pride the wealth the authority the looks everything becomes irrelevant you are in the صف in salah you are standing with whoever is next to you you do not choose you don't book a seat in a mosquito you don't the only time that you have a place that may be reserved for those of knowledge or those who have memorized the quran is right behind the imam because the prophet ﷺ says that behind me should be those with intellect those with knowledge so that's why sometimes you find the month of ramadan or on a friday some of the days they have a few spaces that they might say please don't sit here this is this is for the imams and various other knowledgeable people etc because the prophet ﷺ has instructed that and in case the imam makes a mistake someone needs to correct him in case the imam breaks his wudu and walks away someone who knows what to do thereafter and how to continue should be right behind so they can carry on subhanallah it's amazing but otherwise no booking of space why because you are just like everyone else what happens in hajj everyone has to wear the same clothes everyone especially the men the women have restrictions but they are much broader mashaAllah broader restrictions which means certain things like gloves etc etc you may be told you're not allowed to do this and that and you're not allowed to apply this or do whatever else but when it comes to men even the cloth that you wear there is a restriction ان پرکرس کلوٹھ کلوٹھنک کیا لہذا ایک احرام میں لیوائیس ہے انہوں نے ایک احرام ہے احرام جو آپ کو ایک برنگوچی احرام نے آپ احرام مجھے احرام رہا ہے ایک احرام میں لوگوں کو لیوانا دیتا

people save for it some don't even save for it when you begin to save and put away money for hajh it's a sign that your level of connection with Allah is getting somewhere معلومین ہے how many of you

those who go for hajj the characteristics need to be of a very high level you not supposed to swear or be abusive or commit immorality that's when you will come back a clean person but when you went we tested you with just it was a bed but it was just a little bit of less space you couldn't perhaps put your bags the way you would at home yes if you were ripped off my brothers and sisters you have every right to take it up but respectfully brother you cheated me i need a better room subhanallah you might not even want to say you cheated me you say look my brother if you go back to the record i paid for this room but you didn't give me this room you gave me another room perhaps you'd like to rectify the error and maybe you cannot perhaps you might consider refunding i remember once there was a hajj saying you know what my agents giving me a whole refund i said you might have to make your hajj again actually he doesn't have to from a ruling perspective he doesn't have to but i was i was just trying to you know joke with him to make him think oh no so should i just give him the money back you know subhanallah imagine if you were to get a refund for the hajj it's a question that would come to your mind do i now need to go back the answer is no you did the hajj if someone gave you a refund when you did hajj and there was a mess one of the owners well one of the managers of one of the hotels told me and i'm going to say it because it did happen he says you come from south africa you know some people don't know the difference in bubway south africa it's all in southern africa so i look at him and say yeah okay he says you know you guys you bring cockroaches in lunchtons i said why he says i've had so many cases of people who come and they say cockroaches they all south africans he says they open the lunchton and they release the cockroaches into the room and then they get a full refund of whatever is happening i said hey i hope that's not the case i'm a zimbabwean by the way but if that's the case i hope it's not true i actually spoke to him i told him i don't think so perhaps there are cockroaches in your hotel you know he says we fumigated the thing i said look you better get it checked because nowadays you know as man advances man advances these mosquitoes and cockroaches they also advance you know flies could never fly backward they could always fly forward nowadays they're flying backward i mean there's some advancement i wonder how but some form of advancement the same applies to the mosquitoes subhanallah they becoming resilient and they becoming you know different breed altogether but the same applies to us man when we develop think of it are you developing solely for your survival on earth or are you also developing because you'd like to build your here after ask yourself the difference between a believer and a non-believer is that a believer is focused upon the hereafter more than upon this life notice i said more than which means you are allowed you have to you have to have some form of actions deeds work etc to make you or to allow you to survive on earth to live comfortably to a degree where you don't compromise halal and haram but your main priority is the hereafter it's the focus on the hereafter now we met in hajj mashallah all together so i met people from africa i meet people from australia from europe i meet people from india and pakistan indonesia south america north america you name it they are there they are there the umma the umma as weak as we have become because of our disunity Allah is showing us if you are united look at the strength look at the strength have you noticed something when you go for hajj you're in a haram everyone is focused on something no one starts asking you tell me something what sect do you belong to tell me something which mudhub do you follow tell me something how do you read your salah this way that way because if you read it that way i'm not going to give you the water no one does that it becomes irrelevant because we're all in hajj which means i'm a muslim for me to have been there in the first place may Allah grant us an understanding we will have differences and i have said this so many times we will because we are human what you are convinced by i may be totally convinced by something else but Allah is going to ask me and ask you separately and he's going to judge us separately Allah's not going to judge you based on what i thought of you no will he judge me based on what you thought of me but Allah will judge me based on what he knows about me and the same to you so there is scope for difference of opinion in Islam there is scope we will have differences we don't need to give up what we're not convinced or what we're convinced by we don't need to give it up and what we're not convinced by we don't need to adopt it if someone cannot prove to you from what Allah and his messenger have said and you're not convinced by it you don't have to change your life and you can answer to Allah that's the beauty but i still love you you know why in essence you're trying to please Allah in essence i'm trying to please Allah in essence i'm trying to follow the sunnah of Muhammadﷺ and the same applies with you so this is why when we have differences amongst us we should learn a lesson just from the Hajj there are so many other lessons we can learn but from the Hajj that we are all together and we are different people with our differences nobody is compromising what they actually firmly believe but they are respecting the other because the objective of fulfilling the Hajj in the specific timeframe is what everyone has in common i need to get it done if you see an old man struggling you're not going to look at him and say what's your sheikh's name no you i can leave you struggling walk away no it's such a silly question such a silly question i worship Allah my sheikh is Muhammadﷺ i'm following Allah i'm here on Hajj the pillar of Islam if someone says please give me a space to fulfill salah when you give that person a space to fulfill salah you are getting a full reward of a salah that is fulfilled because you facilitated it when someone asks for a lift to go to the masjid if you give them that lift you get a full reward for whatever goodness they did in the masjid because you facilitated it when you help someone why does Allah love you so much because if Allah wanted that person would not need that help from you or from anyone else but Allah just gave you a chance he showed you someone looking just like you they have hands they have eyes they have a nose they have a mouth they have so much just like you they have parents they may or may not have children or spouses or siblings but you are just like them in creation do you care for them once you prove you care for them you arrive on a newer level in your relationship with Allah that's why when you save one life the Quran tells you it is equivalent to you having saved entire humanity you passed the test what was the test you passed your heart was clean enough to save a soul and that verse where Allah says whoever saves it it is what a soul Allah didn't say a Muslim Allah didn't say a person from your tribe Allah didn't say a person who thinks like you Allah says a soul you save a life it is equivalent in reward and in meaning to having saved entire humanity because number one reward I know I will get from Allah but I've started the trend that if this happens I must save the person if this happens we must all try to save the person سبحان اللہ how much do we have in common when people speak of unity sometimes that word is such it's been used so much and explain in so many different ways that people get irritated they don't want to hear that anymore unity unity what you talking unity you know why because we've confused as I've said earlier in other lectures we've confused unity with uniformity we think if we're the same we're united I'm telling you when we're different we are united as long as we respect each other we're united سبحان اللہ unity doesn't mean you need to be the same like I said we are going for Hajj but we're all different we are we have a purpose we're all different who wants Jannah everyone will put up their hands but to get to Jannah there are a million ways the deeds I do may be different from the deeds you do yes the pillars will overlap but everything else perhaps it won't but you will go to Jannah and so will I by the mercy of Allah you work towards it don't think for a moment that Jannah is yours and yours alone جنہ belongs to all of us because it belongs to he who made us he will give it to us through his mercy when your heart is good enough to be able to look at someone you dislike and you say oh Allah guide them so that they can have Jannah as well you've now arrived at another level but when you start despising them belittling them abusing them swearing them انسالٹing them that is the root of disunity when you have a difference you will still remain respectful because you are a Muslim you need to respect yourself to begin with and then everybody else the problem with us we use language that proves that we don't respect ourselves جنہ لوگ old people as well سبحان اللہ we hear new swear words new swear words we don't even know they were swear words we might even say thank you because we don't know what they say but it makes us cheap if I were to utter a vulgar word it wouldn't even suit my face if you were to utter a vulgar word go stand in front of the mirror at home and say the سبحان اللہ but I mean say the same word again in front of the mirror like you telling it to yourself look at your face and look at how you're saying it if you have a droplet of iman within you you will tell yourself this doesn't suit a mu'min because the hadith says a mu'min is not vulgar not abusive don't say hurtful words many of us we make those we're living with suffer just because we think we have a bit of authority that's it اللہ is watching you will never get away never he's going to take it from you you will see the rough of your actions your bad actions it's going to come give it a bit of time you better repent before that day comes so we have the beautiful Hajj I know you may have heard and you probably will still hear more lectures about Hajj because it's the season but I pray that those who go for Hajj really and truly come back with a Hajj مبرور I mean what is a Hajj مبرور it is a Hajj that was accepted by Allah to the degree that the person returns as pure as the day they were born so would I know if my Hajj was مبرور or not the answer is yes it's quite simple actually to pick it up quite simple how number one is that Hajj which was fulfilled in a way that your life changed when you returned is a Hajj مبرور even if two three aspects of your life have changed but something changed big time ever since this man got back from Hajj is not missing Salah in the first south or he's always at the masjid it was never like that before ان شاہ اللہ حج مبرور ever since this man got back or this woman got back no more vulgar words حج مبرور ever since this uncle got back no more smoking حج مبرور masha Allah make it easy and the reason why I mention it is it is a bad habit you know here in this part of the world when you talk about smoking everyone looks at you they look at you then it's like they checking the pockets of my cigarettes still here you know but it is a bad habit I feel honored to be able to speak about it it's a bad habit so if you can quit any bad habit and you have quit it and you notice it and you feel it and you've come back from Hajj and something has changed good news to you but if you came back and you straight back into the gambling back into the pornography back into the clubs and the pubs back into the adultery then what Hajj مبرور was that your father might be done but I promise you something is wrong you may not have to go back but maybe you might think about it to go for another voluntary one if Sahuk allows you by the way اللہ make it easy I know of countries where they have to wait 20 years before they are accredited so we are still not there some of us I think the maximum is about 5 6 years which is a lot which is a lot but it's getting there because more and more people can afford the trip you go and apply for Hajj in Indonesia and other countries you might have to wait for 30 40 years in some cases we are lucky but I want to end the same way I started what lessons did we learn from the Hajj what lessons did we learn from coming together today in this machine look at the colors every race is here ethnicities I think almost every ethnicity is here we are here in Cape Town Subhan Allah it's holiday season most parts of the world a lot of people are here from all over the globe don't we feel the love the brotherhood don't we feel the goodness if you don't clean your heart clean your heart rid it of hatred no you don't hate the person you might hate a deed you love everyone we will keep promoting that the person who may be astray totally far from the deed within our hearts we may dislike what they're doing but we have a good hope and we would always reach out to them in the most loving way Subhan Allah Subhan Allah and the minimum don't abuse people that's why for the Hajj to be rewarded the hadith says whoever goes for the Hajj and doesn't commit immorality is not abusive and doesn't use his tongue in a negative way that is the person who would actually have the Hajj مبرور because the importance of it is such that your whole life should rotate around good words abstaining from bad words ماء اللہ سبحانہ و تعالیٰ make it easy for us ماء اللہ make it easy for those who are going and those who have gone and even those who are remaining ماء اللہ make it easy for all of us ماء اللہ سبحانہ و تعالیٰ may we be vehicles of spreading love and kindness and may we understand the true meaning of unity and that it is connected more to learning the respect of a difference rather than being exactly the same in everything
