Bismillah, walhamdulillah, wassalatu wassalamu ala rasulillah, wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa man wala.
And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught us that any gathering in which Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala is not mentioned
and in which salutations, salat and salam are not sent on Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
will be a means of regret on the Day of Judgment.
So we remind ourselves of the ultimate reality.
We are here as a family.
That it is Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala who has blessed us to be part of this family.
Either genetically or through the institution of marriage.
And it is Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala who aligns hearts together or makes them divert from each other.
As Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that the hearts are built.
Between the fingers, if you will, the fingers of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala.
And Allah is above all comparisons.
So don’t imagine it to be fingers.
So Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala makes people’s hearts come together.
Aligned in harmony, in resonance.
And vice versa.
Anyone who seeks guidance from Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala.
Allah.
Who is sincere in their seeking of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala.
Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala guides either directly or through the companions and the family that Allah surrounds that person with.
Because as human beings we are social creatures.
We need companionship.
We need support.
We need encouragement.
There will be moments of weakness.
Somebody calls us and pulls us along.
To share our joys.
To be together in moments of happiness and joy.
And also for support in moments that are not as pleasant for us.
For our nafs.
So we thank Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala.
For gathering us.
In this blessed gathering of the family.
And this is a good opportunity to remember those who have preceded us.
Our parents.
Who are not with us.
Mummy and Baba.
My parents.
My parents.
Yawar’s parents.
MyThis year has been the best anniversary of chance of yourDDiG’s greatness.
Today is you live with patience.
sorrow,
safe and healthy.
And grace.
and inshallah leaving behind a legacy of deen, of righteousness, of virtue, of good character
with their children, with their grandchildren, investing in them
not just to give them an economically sound future
but one which is moral, which is one of beautiful character
one of haya, of modesty, one of concern for humanity
one of wanting good for everyone
so we thank Allah SWT for gathering us with this concern and in this family
may Allah SWT illuminate the graves of all of those
who have preceded us and may Allah SWT make their qubur
avenues and passages of Jannah because we are to follow them soon
and one day these little babies who are sitting here will sit and be talking
just like we are talking today
and some of them will be sitting here and they will be saying,
and some of them will be saying,
and some of them will be saying,
and some of them will be saying,
and some of them may remember us and some of them will not remember us
but even if they make dua that those who preceded us
inshallah will feel the cool breeze in our graves
so what is our responsibility, those who have been given this and who are mature enough
is to raise a generation that knows their deen
that is righteous, that has concern for all of humanity
and for the preservation of this deen because Allah SWT created us
to be His ibad, to worship Him as He wants us to be
to interact with each other as He wants us to be
to transact with each other as He wants us to be
and to care for each other as He wants us to be
and Allah SWT made us fortunately from this Ummah of Rasulullah SAW
the Khairul Ummah
which is a very special Ummah and a great honour
that we should be proud of that we are Muslims
not just Muslims but people from the Ummah of Rasulullah SAW
which on the Day of Judgment will compose
80 of the 100 rows of people going to Jannah
Musa will see his Ummah from the whole horizon that is going to Paradise
and he will say was there anyone else more than my Ummah who will go to Paradise
then he will be shown another Ummah that is much bigger
and he said this is much greater than your Ummah
which is headed for Paradise and he said he will be asked
whose Ummah is that he said this is the Ummah of Ahmad
and in one narration he said I want to be from the Ummah of Ahmad
and he was told no you are a Nabi and a Rasul
and you were destined to come much before his Ummah
to imagine Ulul Azm of the great honoured Prophets
wanted to be part of this Ummah
and we have been given this distinction
without admonition
without asking for it
so let us fulfill the responsibility of the great honour and position
that we have been given
and live the rest of our lives in a way
that is in full compliance with our Deen
Allah tells us
O you who believe submit to Allah completely
and come to us as a community that & you alone will be deserving
this is from Allah
this is not Deen
It is Full submission
that practice it here
this is not Deen
We need to learn
We need to學
Today we learn about everyone else
every Criminal on this earth
whether it’s Trump
whether it’s Musk
whether its Binyamin
in Venice, how many people showed up, what they wore, yet we don’t know enough about
Rasulullah . If you ask a Muslim, can you name me the Ummhatul Mumineen after Sayyidah Khadija
and Aisha , they are at a loss. Name me 15 companions of the Prophet
, they don’t know. So those are our role models and if we don’t know them, we cannot
follow in their paths. So may Allah enable us to fulfill His rights and the rights of
Rasulullah and the rights of this Deen upon us. And may Allah make the rest of our life
one in full compliance with Allah’s Dignity.
May Allah make the best of our deeds, the last of our deeds. And may Allah make the best of our days,
the days on which we meet Him and we are presented to Him.
