Venue Albert Falls Summary Main Topic
The lecture emphasizes recognizing the power (Qudrat) and presence of Allah Ta'ala in all conditions—such as during severe wind or natural events—and turning to Him through Sunnah supplications. It also provides guidance on preparing for the sacred first ten days of Dhul Hijjah and performing Qurbani with proper intention and Islamic decorum.
Key Lessons
Every situation and natural phenomenon (wind, rain, thunder) is a sign of Allah's divine power (Qudrat) meant to turn our attention away from created means (asbab) to the Creator.
Disasters and natural events serve as small glimpses of Allah's authority and reminders of the suddenness of the Day of Judgment (Qiyamah).
Muslims must never curse the weather or wind, as it operates solely under Allah's command.
When witnessing someone facing a trial, one should recite the Sunnah supplication thanking Allah for granting safety from that trial.
Real healing and protection come only from Allah Ta'ala; physical remedies and structures are merely secondary means.
The first ten days and nights of Dhul Hijjah hold immense spiritual rewards, including the fast of Arafah and night worship.
Qurbani should be performed sincerely, adhering to Islamic guidelines (such as modesty and avoiding unnecessary photography) and funded through personal savings where possible.

0:13 Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. 0:19 Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. 0:23 Our beloved Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 0:29 I don't think there is any occasion for which Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam didn't teach us some dua. 0:39 Every dua is to refresh our Iman and take our gaze away from Asbab. 0:49 Take our gaze to Allah Ta'ala. 0:52 So for example now, we hear the wind. 0:58 One is a person who just looks at it superficially. 1:02 The wind is howling. 1:05 Things are flying. 1:08 Hope all over. 1:10 Loose items in the yard don't get blown away. 1:16 That kind of talk. 1:19 Then you get those who consider themselves extremely intelligent. 1:25 So they will study now. 1:28 The wind, what it does, cross-pollination and these seeds are getting thrown from here to there. 1:35 And this change happens and that change happens. 1:39 They call it the winds of change. 1:42 And they will think now that, you know what, we have already studied something great. 1:47 I'm not saying it's not beneficial at all. 1:49 Maybe some benefit in that. 1:53 But the real ilm, the real knowledge, the real benefit is that person who every condition turns his attention to Allah Ta'ala. 2:04 This is what we call marifati ilahi. 2:07 The person recognizes Allah Ta'ala. 2:09 Everything that happens, he realizes and he sees Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala behind it. 2:15 The Nabi al-Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 2:18 He has taught us that when the wind is blowing. 2:20 Then read the dua. 2:21 O Allah bless us with the good of this wind. 2:26 O Allah bless us with the good of this wind. 2:30 And the good with which it was sent. 2:33 So all that cross pollination and everything all is covered there. 2:39 Whatever benefits are coming with the wind. 2:42 Everything is covered in that. 2:45 But then Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam also teaches us, وَاعُوذُ بِكَ بِنْ شَرْضِهَا وَالشَّرْضِ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ فِيهِ That O Allah, I seek refuge in you from the evil of what is in this wind. 2:58 And the evil with which it has been sent. 3:01 Because that same wind can cause so much of destruction. 3:09 Generally, when we think of something that can destruct, 3:15 When we think of something, you know, with strength, take an elephant, what target it got, what strength it got, huge tusks, strong trunk, can uproot a tree. 3:31 But how many trees at a time? 3:34 One. 3:35 One. 3:37 You think of a predator, how it can 3:43 Dig its claws into an animal. 3:46 Take a lion. 3:48 Allah Ta'ala has given it such taqwa. 3:51 Sometimes a huge buffalo. 3:54 Male lion. 3:55 Fully grown male lion. 3:57 Sometimes alone. 3:59 It can bring down a huge buffalo. 4:02 Weighing around a ton. 4:04 Such taqwa Allah Ta'ala has given it. 4:08 Sinks its claws into the buffalo and drops the buffalo down. 4:14 What strength Allah has given it. 4:16 But you take a thing like wind. 4:21 No hands. 4:22 No legs. 4:24 No muscles. 4:26 Nothing. 4:26 You can't. 4:28 Something you can't even. 4:29 It's not tangible. 4:31 It's 4:35 But just now, before coming to Sana'a, somebody sent me some pictures of the road going to Tongat or something. 4:50 So many trees are uprooted. 4:52 Almost every tree has broken. 4:56 Certain places the road is closed. 4:58 Can't drive past. 4:59 All the trees have fallen onto the road. 5:04 With what? 5:05 With wind. 5:07 With wind. 5:09 Short while, wind, so many trees uprooted. 5:16 For us to carry one branch, we don't know what it weighs because we never carried it. 5:26 Yes? 5:30 We don't know what a branch is. 5:32 We don't carry these things. 5:34 But ask a person who works with it. 5:37 One one log. 5:38 One one branch. 5:41 Look at Allah Ta'ala's Qudrat. 5:45 Allah's power. 5:46 Allah's strength. 5:48 It's a thing like wind. 5:52 And Allah Ta'ala can in a short while drop down so many trees. 5:58 Allah Ta'ala is most merciful. 6:01 Allah Ta'ala is most merciful. 6:04 Allah Ta'ala doesn't take us to task for every wrong of ours. 6:10 Sometimes Allah Ta'ala shows us His strength. 6:13 Allah Ta'ala shows us His power. 6:15 Allah Ta'ala shows us what He can do. 6:17 This gives us a small glimpse. 6:22 So that we turn to Allah. 6:25 We realize that we are not invincible. 6:29 With all our technology, all our wealth, all our advancements, whatever, we are not invincible. 6:37 Allah Ta'ala's qudrat is something else. 6:41 They are nations that Allah Ta'ala has destroyed. 6:45 Entire, entire nations. 6:49 Rocked their trees, their homes, everything. 6:53 Just with sound. 6:56 Not even wind. 6:59 Just with sound. 7:00 Hmm? 7:02 That is the Qudrat of Allah. 7:05 Allah Ta'ala sometimes shows us this small, gives us a small glimpse. 7:11 To make us turn to Him. 7:12 Turn to Allah Ta'ala. 7:15 Allah Ta'ala mentions this in the Quran Sharif. 7:18 Zahra al-fasadu fil badri wal-bahri. 7:21 Ma kasabat eidi al-nas. 7:24 Li yudhiqahum ba'dha al-lazi aminu. 7:27 La'allahum yarji'un. 7:30 That 7:32 Fasad becomes apparent whether on land, whether on sea. 7:39 Why? 7:40 Due to the earnings of man. 7:45 Due to what man has earned with his hands. 7:49 And why? 7:49 Li yudhiqahum ba'dha alladhi ya'miru. 7:53 This to give them a taste of some of what they have done. 7:59 What can be the consequences. 8:01 Yes, some. 8:04 Little bit. 8:06 And why? 8:07 Out of mercy. 8:11 So that they may return to Allah. 8:14 Come back to Allah. 8:17 So the wind is not just there and never ever curse the wind. 8:23 Never talk bad of the wind. 8:25 Never talk bad about the weather. 8:29 Because that is the doings of Allah Ta'ala. 8:34 You know, sometimes we don't realize in our speech. 8:39 For example, if a person now is windy, he says, eat this. 8:43 And he uses one bad word. 8:47 The word dam can refer to what we got on top there. 8:53 The mass of water. 8:54 It's a dam. 8:56 And then that word dam can be used in another way also. 9:01 If the person has to use that word and he talks about the wind like that. 9:07 Now, what is he talking about? 9:10 Hmm? 9:11 We never ever curse the weather, talk bad, you know, of the rain or the wind or the sun or whatever. 9:20 Because that is from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. 9:24 Direct from Allah ta'ala. 9:27 So, Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam, he start lightning, thundering. 9:35 Allahumma la taqtulna bi ghadabik. 9:38 Wa la tuhlikna bi azabik. 9:40 Wa afina qabla dhalik. 9:42 It starts raining. 9:43 Allahumma sayyiban nafiya. 9:45 It will be a beneficial rainfall. 9:47 It's raining too much. 9:50 Lot of rain coming. 9:51 Allahumma haw alayna. 9:53 Wa la alayna. 9:55 Let it rain around us, not on top of us. 10:00 Let it rain now, you know, on the mountains. 10:07 Let it rain around. 10:09 Let it rain in the roots of the trees. 10:13 All day we must get the rain, not on us. 10:17 So for every situation, Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam has taught us a dua to turn our attention to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. 10:27 In every situation, we must turn our attention to Allah ta'ala. 10:32 Sometimes, we only look at things how it's affecting our world. 10:43 And that makes us forget Allah ta'ala. 10:47 Makes us forget Allah Ta'ala. 10:49 So, when we see this kind of destruction, like certain places now their roofs have fallen off. 10:58 Certain places, structures have fallen. 11:03 Allah Ta'ala protect us. 11:04 Allah keep us afiat. 11:06 But when we see these kind of things, it must remind us of Qiyamah. 11:13 How Qiyamah will take place. 11:16 One person. 11:19 He is mentioning. 11:20 He is in some school. 11:22 I don't know where the school is. 11:24 In some school he is. 11:25 And he is making a video. 11:27 There are no students or anybody there. 11:29 He is making a video of the destruction. 11:32 One whole structure of this collapsed. 11:36 And then what what else it fell on. 11:39 And whatever you know. 11:40 He is making a video of it. 11:43 And he mentions. 11:43 You can hear his voice. 11:45 You can't see him. 11:47 He mentions there that. 11:51 Like he's thanking now Allah Ta'ala. 11:56 But he's a non-Muslim. 11:57 But he says God is thanking Allah Ta'ala that we are safe. 12:01 He said I was just going to park my car and that thing collapsed. 12:08 So when you hear something like that, immediately it turns our attention to the ahadith of Nabi Akrim sallallahu alayhi wasallam pertaining to Qiyamah. 12:18 Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam said to the effect that a person, he will be fixing his hose, you know, his hose. 12:32 Like his pond or his well or something. 12:36 Water is there. 12:37 He'll be fixing that thing. 12:39 Trumpet will be blown. 12:41 He can't carry on. 12:43 A person will come out of his house. 12:47 Trumpet will be blown. 12:49 He won't even have an opportunity to turn around and go back in his house. 12:55 On the stoop right there outside he will collect. 12:59 Two people will be doing a transaction over a piece of cloth material. 13:07 Now if you ever went to the material shop to buy material, then you know how they just make one. 13:15 Some are masters, they just run the scissors, you know, right through. 13:19 Others are even better masters. 13:21 They just make one snip and then they just take. 13:26 Over the years now they got the experience, you know, so they just take. 13:30 In an instant, you know, what you say, in the blinking of an eye, that material is. 13:36 Qat. 13:37 But the person will be doing that. 13:41 But before he can finish the material, he'll be finished. 13:45 And not only him, the whole world. 13:49 The whole world and everything that the world contains. 13:53 Forget one roof. 13:54 Forget some trees. 13:58 Some road closures. 14:00 Bridges get washed away. 14:01 Forget that. 14:02 We look at one, two of these pictures. 14:04 See what happens. 14:05 You put on social media. 14:06 Send it around. 14:07 You saw that bridge got washed away. 14:09 Saw the cars are going in the water. 14:11 I'm not saying here the cars went in the water. 14:13 But sometime it happens like that. 14:15 Places where there is floods and all that. 14:17 Sometime you see the cars going. 14:19 Floating like boats. 14:21 Allah Ta'ala protect us. 14:24 When you see somebody in a difficulty. 14:29 And Allah Ta'ala has protected you from that difficulty. 14:32 Then for that also Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam taught us something. 14:36 Alhamdulillahi alladhi aafani mimmat talaqa bihi wa faddalani ala kaseerim mimman khalaqata tafdeela. 14:45 So, Allahumma inshallah. 14:52 But the dua that you must read. 14:54 Thanking Allah Ta'ala. 14:56 All praise is to you that you protected me. 14:59 You saved me from this imtihan that you put that person. 15:04 That how you tested him with this. 15:07 You saved me. 15:07 You didn't test me like that. 15:09 It can be anything. 15:10 Somebody is not well. 15:11 You see somebody. 15:12 Sometimes you're driving past an accident scene. 15:17 Sometimes destruction like this. 15:19 So whatever the situation may be, you thank Allah Ta'ala. 15:23 Now, lucky I just missed it. 15:25 No, lucky I missed it. 15:27 Alhamdulillah alladhi afani. 15:31 Alhamdulillah alladhi afani. 15:33 So somebody will say, lucky I missed it. 15:35 The other person will go into, no, no. 15:37 You see the structure. 15:39 Use the wrong beams. 15:41 They don't put this here. 15:43 They don't put that there. 15:44 You know. 15:45 People go into that at the end of the day by you can do whatever you want to do. 15:51 It can be the strongest of structure. 15:54 If Allah Ta'ala wants it down, it's going to fall. 15:58 And it can be the weakest of structure. 16:00 And if Allah Ta'ala wants it up, it will be up. 16:03 Not saying that you must build a weak structure. 16:05 That when you're building, now you have to take engineers, spec, everything into consideration. 16:10 You must build it properly. 16:11 Don't cut corners. 16:12 Do it properly. 16:14 But the only being that's keeping it up is Allah Ta'ala. 16:19 It's not the structure. 16:20 It's not the engineering. 16:22 It's not nothing. 16:23 So as long as Allah Ta'ala wants it to stand, it will stand. 16:26 And Allah Ta'ala don't want it to stand, it won't stand. 16:32 There was 16:34 One earthquake that had taken place in Turkey years ago. 16:40 I may have mentioned to you some of it. 16:43 That one whole navy base. 16:46 Allah Ta'ala sunk that whole navy base. 16:51 However, when the Jamaat Brothers from South Africa. 16:57 Jamaat Brothers is one thing. 16:59 They go everywhere. 17:02 There's a problem somewhere. 17:03 First, people will go be jamaat builders. 17:05 They'll go. 17:06 Remind people of Allah Ta'ala. 17:08 Remind. 17:09 People's hearts are soft at that time. 17:11 Go and talk to them. 17:12 Talk to them about Allah Ta'ala. 17:14 So one of the first jamaats to go there after the earthquake that happened. 17:19 Lot of destruction took place. 17:21 Lot of destruction. 17:22 So it was a jamaat from South Africa. 17:26 So they mentioned that one person 17:32 He was active in the work of Tabligh also. 17:35 And he had a business and he sells all this like novelty items. 17:42 In Turkey, because of tourism, so that's a very big market now. 17:47 Some novelty item of Turkey, you know, on picture of this masjid or some other thing or whatever. 17:55 Bosphorus and so they say this man shop 18:04 Not even one of those things fell from the shelf. 18:13 Around him is total destruction. 18:18 Total destruction around him. 18:20 Everything around is destroyed. 18:22 But his shop, not even one item fell down. 18:27 So who made Hifaz? 18:30 Only Allah Ta'ala. 18:32 Unni Allah ta'ala miksifatih. 18:34 There was a very good hakeem, you know. 18:39 You know it's a hakeem. 18:40 People get mixed up sometimes. 18:43 One is you get an alim. 18:46 Alim is different. 18:47 Alim of deen. 18:48 That's something very high. 18:50 Allah Ta'ala must make us amongst the ulama. 18:54 True alim is that person who has got the fear of Allah Ta'ala. 18:59 That's a true alim. 19:01 Allah Ta'ala must bless us with beneficial knowledge. 19:04 However, then you get an amil. 19:08 One is you get Alim. 19:09 Then you get Amil. 19:11 So Amil is a person who does Amaliyat. 19:18 All these Tawis and taking out Jinnats and doing all those things. 19:24 He is called an Amil. 19:26 That's a different. 19:28 And then you get a Hakeem. 19:31 Hakeem is different. 19:32 Hakeem, he is somebody who, what we call like a doctor. 19:38 And obviously he will use herbal remedies and, you know, more natural products. 19:46 He will use those things. 19:47 They don't give all this, what you get from a druggist in a drugstore. 19:53 They don't give that. 19:54 They give now all this medicine. 19:58 Herbal things. 19:59 Natural products. 20:00 That's a hakeem. 20:01 So he understands what roots assist for what. 20:05 What plants assist for what. 20:08 Ajeeb. 20:09 Ajeeb things. 20:10 The hakeems use. 20:12 Ajeeb. 20:12 Ajeeb. 20:14 So there was one hakeem. 20:18 He was an alim also. 20:22 And he used to live in a place called Hekpore. 20:25 Hekpore. 20:28 And he was a very good hakim. 20:30 He knew he used to grow a lot of the plants. 20:33 He had a big warehouse. 20:36 All pot plants. 20:37 All the things that he used to use. 20:38 A lot of the things he used to grow there. 20:40 He told me one ajeeb thing. 20:42 It's coming to Qurbani now, so we'll make zikr of it. 20:47 My late father, he used to like, from many years, those days hardly people used to slaughter oxen, you know. 20:59 But he had the shock from young, slaughter one ox. 21:04 So Hakeem Sahib knew this. 21:07 So one day, Hakeem Sahib is showing me one, like a stone. 21:13 He's telling me, when you slaughter the ox, you must look for this thing. 21:20 But normally we're slaughtering young cattle. 21:22 You don't really find it in the young cattle. 21:24 Older cattle. 21:26 So you must look for this thing. 21:28 In the gallbladder. 21:30 Like a stone. 21:32 But he said this stone was so much of 21:36 Medicinal benefits. 21:39 He said that Japanese will pay you a lot money for it. 21:44 So he used to obtain the stone. 21:48 And then they used to just scrape it. 21:51 Just scrape it. 21:52 Get some powder out of it which they used to use in certain dawahs. 21:57 Certain medications, you know. 21:59 And he used to mix a lot of, they say, Jerry Buddis. 22:03 Jerry Buddis. 22:04 Someone all different, different dawas. 22:06 But have this tea before you eat, that tea before you eat. 22:10 That is a hakeem. 22:12 I don't know why I'm telling you. 22:13 What was he talking about? 22:16 Hmm? 22:17 No, before that. 22:19 What were we talking about? 22:21 Hmm? 22:25 Hmm? 22:28 That person in Turkey. 22:29 Allah Ta'ala. 22:30 I was telling you all about something about Hakeem Sahib. 22:33 Alhamdulillah. 22:35 Allah Ta'ala brought us back. 22:37 So this Hakeem was very good. 22:40 People used to travel from far and wide. 22:43 The one thing about him which we must also learn is punctuality. 22:49 You can travel. 22:50 Headport is not in the middle of things. 22:54 It's out. 22:56 Like a farm area. 22:57 And the road to get there also single lane, you know. 23:02 But you can travel and come from Durban. 23:07 Airport is in Gauteng province. 23:09 I don't know now it falls under Gauteng or another province. 23:13 Gauteng province. 23:14 So you can travel from Durban and go there. 23:18 You come there two minutes late. 23:21 You won't see. 23:22 You can go back home. 23:26 You must be there on time. 23:29 So, my father was his patient for many years. 23:35 So, after that, he was very tikumagat. 23:37 He was hot. 23:39 And that is one sign of a good hakeem. 23:42 If you read in the kitab, the sign of a good hakeem, one sign of a good hakeem. 23:47 One day when I had gone there, I was wearing one jacket. 23:54 Our Aqabirin never liked to wear jackets for ulama now. 24:00 Not that we are ulama. 24:01 We are still uluma. 24:02 But we are studying. 24:05 So I went inside. 24:07 She said to me, what's this? 24:10 I'm thinking. 24:13 I thought there's some dirt there or some stain there or something. 24:17 What's this? 24:18 What's this? 24:20 Then he caught the jacket. 24:21 He said, what's this? 24:23 You're supposed to be people of wool. 24:26 What are you doing with this? 24:28 But sometime you need a jacket. 24:29 Especially when there's wind like this, very cold, etc. 24:32 You need a jacket. 24:34 I know our principal, Mufti Ibrahim Saraji Sahib, never ever saw him wearing a jacket. 24:41 But he lives in Durban. 24:43 Durban doesn't really have a winter. 24:46 But once there was a program in Cape Town and it was bitterly cold. 24:51 It's very cold and windy. 24:52 Kept on wind. 24:53 We don't get that kind of wind over here. 24:56 There was a first time I saw Mufti Sahib wearing a jacket. 25:00 Ibrahim Sahib was wearing a jacket. 25:02 Because now there's a need. 25:03 There was a need at that time. 25:06 So khair. 25:07 So I was telling you about this Hakeem Sahib. 25:11 So Allah Ta'ala had given many people shifa through him. 25:14 People used to travel from all around and come there. 25:18 And his niyat was he wanted to open like a hospital. 25:22 You know like a clinic where a person can come and stay there. 25:27 And he will do the dawas. 25:30 So I was telling you that my father eventually they developed like an informal relationship. 25:36 Over the years. 25:38 So one day my father asked him. 25:40 But Hakim Sahib. 25:43 Somebody come two minutes late. 25:47 You don't see them coming from so far. 25:52 My father's name was Ahmad Saeed. 25:54 Ahmad Saeed. 25:56 If the person can't be here on time, he won't be able to do my medication. 26:01 So no use me seeing him. 26:05 Because his medication was not easy. 26:08 His medication, 30 minutes before you eat, you must take something. 26:12 15 minutes before you eat, you take something. 26:17 After you eat, so many minutes after you eat, you must take something. 26:20 So only if you are a punctual person will you be able to do his treatment. 26:27 Otherwise, you're not going to be able to do it. 26:30 The person will come. 26:31 He can't be on time. 26:33 He won't be able to do this. 26:34 Then he says the dawahs are not working. 26:37 So if the person can't make it here for his appointment, where is the make it to do the treatment? 26:42 So rather I don't see him. 26:44 I save his time and my time. 26:46 But what I really wanted to tell you because we're talking about our attention must turn to Allah. 26:52 Right? 26:53 So he used to make his dawahs and he used to have a label. 26:59 Like how doctors have a label. 27:02 So how to take the medication. 27:04 What it is. 27:05 And then how to take it. 27:07 But on top of all of that. 27:09 In bold. 27:11 Allah is the curer. 27:14 Allah is the curer. 27:16 On all his labels. 27:17 On the top is to be written. 27:19 Allah is the curer. 27:22 The gaze must go to Allah Ta'ala. 27:25 So qurbani time also. 27:28 We didn't slaughter the animals so fast. 27:31 We didn't drop the animals so fast. 27:34 Allah Ta'ala did it. 27:36 Allah Ta'ala did everything. 27:38 Anything, Allah Ta'ala did it. 27:41 We did well in business, Allah did it. 27:44 We learnt our sabak well, Allah did it. 27:48 Everything is Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen. 27:52 Allah Ta'ala is the Dua. 27:53 Allah Ta'ala does everything. 27:56 Allah forgive us. 27:57 Tawfiq. 27:58 Our gaze. 27:59 Turn to Allah. 28:00 The other thing, brothers, is make a lot of dua for our brothers and sisters in Gaza. 28:08 A lot of 28:11 They are faced with a lot of, you know, intihan. 28:14 A lot of Allah Ta'ala is testing their iman. 28:17 Allah is testing them. 28:19 Make dua for them. 28:19 Allah Ta'ala keep them steadfast. 28:21 Allah Ta'ala grant them nusrat. 28:24 And individually with our families, whatever, get together. 28:29 Take the masum masum children also. 28:32 Sit with them. 28:33 Read Yasin Sharif. 28:34 Make dua to Allah Ta'ala. 28:36 Make dua to Allah Ta'ala for them and for the whole ummah. 28:42 For entire mankind. 28:44 Make dua. 28:44 Allah Ta'ala grant them nusrat. 28:46 Allah Ta'ala make it easy for them. 28:48 Allah Ta'ala provide for them from sources unknown. 28:54 And Allah Ta'ala forgive us for our shortcomings. 28:57 Allah Ta'ala make us maaf. 29:00 So much of destruction. 29:01 So many lives. 29:03 For so long. 29:04 Hmm. 29:06 We can do absolutely nothing. 29:09 How weak we have become. 29:11 Absolutely nothing. 29:15 Imagining the glory days of Islam. 29:20 When the Khulafa were there. 29:23 Even after the Khulafa Rashidin. 29:25 Other Khulafa etc. 29:28 One complaint comes from some way. 29:33 Immediately the Khalif will dispatch an army. 29:38 Some Muslims are troubled some way. 29:40 Immediately the Khalif will dispatch an army. 29:44 That's how Deen came to India also. 29:48 That's how Deen came to India. 29:51 Muhammad bin Qasim has read the history. 29:55 Read the history. 29:58 So make lot of dua. 30:00 The other thing is 30:02 On Friday evening we have to search for the moon of Dhul Hijjah. 30:10 So these are beautiful days that are coming up. 30:13 Great days. 30:14 Allah Ta'ala prepares us. 30:16 Huge sacrifice where we are emulating the sunnah of Nabi Ibrahim alayhi salam and our beloved Nabi al-Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 30:24 What a great Ibadah. 30:28 Allah Ta'ala gives us days 30:30 Mubarak days. 30:33 Mubarak nights. 30:35 To prepare ourselves for this great Ibadat. 30:39 One is the Hujjaj. 30:40 They are doing. 30:41 Allah Ta'ala accept their Hajj. 30:43 And then those of us that will be carrying out Qurbani. 30:47 And our Qurbani. 30:48 It mustn't be like an abstract thing. 30:52 Alright. 30:53 Me I just phone there. 30:54 Let's do it. 30:54 No. 30:55 No. 30:55 No. 30:55 We must get involved in our Qurbani. 30:58 But. 31:00 In the right way. 31:03 The other day, I was listening to one bayan of Hazrat Mufti Ibrahim Sari Jisa on Barakatuh. 31:12 And he mentioned there, he said that if a person goes to a place where it's all a mixed gathering and there's no, you know, concern of parda, etc. 31:25 There's photography and videoing and all that taking place there, right? 31:30 So, in other words, the Shariat is being violated. 31:33 Then what sawab is the person going to get for the qurban? 31:38 His obligation may be fulfilled. 31:41 But will there be any sawab? 31:43 There's no ruhaniyat left in that action. 31:47 That whole ibadat, there's no ruhaniyat left there. 31:51 What sawab is a person going to get from that? 31:55 It must be carried out in the proper way. 31:57 Allah Ta'ala gives us these days to build our Iman. 32:02 The ten days and the nights first. 32:06 Allah Ta'ala speaks about it in the Quran Sharif. 32:10 Wal Fajr. 32:11 Wa Rayalin Ashr. 32:12 Wa Shafi'i wal Watr. 32:15 All that tafsir is to do with those Mubarak days. 32:18 Every day that a person keeps Roza, they are getting a Saub of one year's Roza. 32:23 Every night that the person is getting Saub of making Ibadat on Neelatul Qadr. 32:30 And the 9th, if a person fasts, then the virtues are even more. 32:34 Gunas for the previous year, coming year, all made Maaf. 32:41 So we must take advantage of these Mubarak days. 32:45 And then also it is mustahab for those that are going to be carrying out qurbani. 32:49 But once the moon is sighted, Zul Hijjah, then they must not cut their hair or clip their nails or anything. 32:58 So it is the day of Jumu'ah also. 33:01 And generally on the day of Jumu'ah we clip our nails and remove the unwanted hair and whatever. 33:06 So we must do all that and then cash in on the mustahab. 33:11 Now some people say, no, only mustahab, you don't have to worry about. 33:14 It's just, it's sawab for free. 33:16 It's sawab for not doing something. 33:20 Don't cut your nails. 33:22 Don't cut your nails. 33:23 There is less to do. 33:25 Don't do these things and you get sawab. 33:28 Allah Ta'ala said, don't do something and I'm rewarding you. 33:31 I'm giving you sawaf for it. 33:33 So why leave it out? 33:35 Do it. 33:36 And those of you with students I'm talking about, one is the others, they know, but the students, those of you that are balik, etc. 33:45 And you have your own money. 33:47 You have your own wealth. 33:50 So you must try and do qurbani with your own wealth. 33:53 And do qurbani with your own wealth. 33:56 Don't waste money. 33:57 I'm telling you, you waste so much of money. 33:59 Take away food, funny, funny gadgets and this and that. 34:03 If you save your money, you'd be surprised. 34:06 Allah put barakat in the money, you'd be able to do your own qurbani. 34:11 My late father, 34:13 He had a passion for Qurbani and he passed away in this Qurbani day. 34:18 So, there was one person working with him. 34:25 So, that person never did Qurbani in his life. 34:30 But on Eid day, my father used to invite him home to come and say, bring your children, come, let them witness this Qurbani. 34:39 One year, my father told him, next year you're going to do qurban. 34:45 He said, no man, I can't afford it. 34:47 He said, I'll show you how you're going to afford it. 34:51 So, every month, 34:54 My father told him, see you must take five rand from your salary and put it away. 34:58 Those days five rand was lot of money. 35:01 Sheep were cheap. 35:02 Sheep, sheep. 35:03 Now one sheep expensive. 35:05 That time sheep were cheap. 35:08 Everything was cheaper that time. 35:10 And the earnings also were less. 35:12 To take out five rand was an amount. 35:15 So we take out five rand, put it away. 35:19 So that year was the first year in his life he bought his own sheep and he did qurbani. 35:26 So after my father had passed away, some years later, I was in the town where this person lives. 35:37 And I don't know why, for what reason, I can't remember now, I had to go to his house. 35:45 And it was a day after 35:49 The day after Qurbani. 35:51 The next day. 35:53 When I went to his house, he had about five or six sheep. 36:01 Kakris. 36:03 They said, no, we finished the qurbani yesterday. 36:06 Now, those days there was no taking and storing in the butcher and getting it sliced and coming in nice, what you call, polystyrene trays and labeled and all that. 36:20 Allah forgive, JazakAllah khair to our 36:23 Butcher people and all that now how they offer all these services. 36:27 Those days was different. 36:28 Those days sometimes if it is cold they just leave it hanging in the garage or something overnight. 36:36 Otherwise same day also. 36:38 Chop the whole thing up. 36:40 Pass it up. 36:41 Give it away. 36:42 And that time people never have big big mortuaries at home. 36:48 At most you had your fridge and on top of your fridge you had your small freezer. 36:53 People never have deep freezers around the house. 36:56 So most of the meat was given away. 36:58 On the same day it was distributed. 37:00 It was given away. 37:02 Now we got storage. 37:04 We're eating kurbani meat from one kurbani to the next. 37:07 We still got kurbani meat from one year to the next. 37:11 You know. 37:13 But khair. 37:14 These are just a few things with regards to qurbani. 37:17 Allah Ta'ala accept. 37:21 Take advantage of these Mubarak days that are coming ahead. 37:24 Allah Ta'ala give us tawfiq. 37:26 Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. 37:34 Allahumma Rabbana faghfir lana dhunubana wa taffir anna sayyiatina wa tawaffana ma'al abrar. 37:41 Rabbana atina fi al-dunya hasanah wa fi al-akhirati hasanah. 37:46 Wa qina azaban nar. 37:48 Allahumma nsuri al-Islam wa al-Muslimin. 37:51 Allahumma a'izz al-Islam wa al-Muslimin. 37:54 Allahumma nsuri al-Ikhwanana al-Mujahideen fi ardi al-Islam. 37:59 Allahumma ansur man nasara deena sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 38:04 Wa ja'alna minhum. 38:06 Allahumma man arada bil-Islami wal-Muslimina khaira. 38:10 Fawaffikhu kulla khair. 38:12 Wa man arada bil-Islami wal-Muslimina sharra. 38:15 Farudda kaydahum fi nahlih. 38:17 Allahumma inna naj'aluka fi nuhurihim wa na'udhubika min shururihim. 38:22 Allahumma khudhum akhda azizim muqtadir. 38:26 Allahumma khudhum akhda azizim muqtadir. 38:29 Allahumma khudhum akhda azizim muqtadir. 38:32 Allahumma al-anir kafarat alladhina yasudduna an sabirik. 38:37 Wa yukadhibuna rusulak. 38:38 Wa yuqatiluna awliya'ak. 38:41 Allahumma khalif bina kalimatihim. 38:43 Wa zalzil akadamahum. 38:45 Wa shattit shamlahum. 38:46 Wa mazzik jam'ahum. 38:48 Wa dammir diyarahum. 38:50 Wa fadriq baynahum. 38:51 Wa qattir dabirahum. 38:53 Allahumma anzil bihim ba'sat alladhi la tarudduhu. 38:57 Wa anil qawmin mujlimin. 38:59 Allahumma inna nas'aluka min khayri ma sa'alaka minhu nabiyyuka sayyiduna Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam wa na'udhu bika min kulli shaddi mast'a'aza minhu nabiyyuka sayyiduna Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 39:14 Anta'l musta'an wa alayka'l balagh wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah. 39:20 Wa sallallahu ka'ala ala khairi khalqihi Sayyidina Muhammadin wa ala alihi wa ashabihi ajma'in. 39:27 Ameen. 39:28 Bi rahmatika ya arhamad wa rahimin. 39:30 Walhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen.
Refrain from trimming hair or clipping nails upon the sighting of the Dhul Hijjah moon until the Qurbani is completed for those slaughtering.
Ensure that slaughtering facilities and Qurbani gatherings remain free from violations of Shariah such as mixed gatherings, lack of modesty, and photography.
Encourage young adults and students to practice financial discipline and save modest amounts regularly to fulfill their own Qurbani.
