    Auto-generated transcript: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

  • When did civilization begin?

    When did civilization begin?
    Jul 4 2025
    https://youtu.be/bzav-icohZk Auto-generated transcript:My brothers and sisters, there was a very famous anthropologist and American anthropologist archaeologist called Margaret Mead. So, somebody asked her once, they said, when was the beginning of civilization? And she said a wonderful thing. She said, they found a, in one of the archaeological digs, she said they found a skeleton of a person whose femur had broken and joined and healed. So, the femur is the big bone of the leg. She said that is the beginning of civilization. So, they said what has the joining of a femur got to do with the beginning of civilization? So, they said, what has the joining of a femur got to do with the beginning of civilization? So, she said that in the wild, if an animal breaks a femur, that is a death sentence. Because once the big bone of the leg is broken, the animal can't run. And if the animal can't run, that animal is dead. It can't find food, and so either it'll die of starvation, or something will get it. The healing and joining of the femur means that somebody took the leg and went back to the front yard, and it will come back to its former state. So, it's a death sentence. So, the two animals, they were actually in the wild, but they were in a care of that animal and they fed it and they took care of it until it was able to walk again. So in this case it was a human being who obviously suffered some kind of accident and broke his or her femur but there was somebody there who took the time and trouble to take care of them and made sure that you know they were and the femur doesn't join fast it's a big bone so it takes time so they took care of them fed them whatnot until their leg was healed and she said this is the beginning of civilization. So my understanding from this and I submit to you is that civilization is not like what we seem to believe today which they all the fancy sexy technology we have it you have this AI which can do this and this robot which can do that effectively the robot is doing what another human being can do with his eyes shut in a less efficient manner and we are very impressed that this robot did all this just because it's a machine and so forth so I won't go into discussing that but my point is that that's not civilization. Civilization is how we treat each other how we talk to each other how we take care of each other in times of need how we go out of our way to provide for each other in my research for my book the business of family business I spoke to and I have read about many entrepreneurs startup stories and one of the startup stories this man says that she's been with our company for you know god knows from the beginning inception almost number 30th or something else so as to what keeps you there and he's not even the highest paid or anything like that he said what keeps you there is the fact that one day I was away on a sales trip and my child fell seriously ill and he says that my boss, who is the founder of the company, without being asked, he came home, took my wife and my son to the hospital, and then when the child was whatever they had to do, they did it. And the child had been admitted into the hospital and was going to be there overnight and happened to stay there for a day or two. He says, my boss, the founder of the business, he said to my wife, you go home and take care of whatever you need to do at home and I'll stay here. And he stayed awake with the child the whole night, looking after my child. And I was away, selling whatever product I was selling for that company. He said, now, that is debt. As far as I'm concerned, that is debt. And nothing will take me away from that organization. So my submission to you when I ask myself the same question is, what are the legacies that we are creating? Now, the thing is to understand this, that this doesn't happen overnight. That man, whoever it was, didn't do it because he suddenly had a brainwave on that day.

  • Enter Islam completely

    Enter Islam completely
    Jul 3 2025
    Auto-generated transcript:My brothers and sisters, Allah SWT addressed us, addressed the believers. And he said, which means, he actually said, Allah SWT said, O you who believe. So first thing to think about and reflect on is Allah is addressing the believers. So Allah is not saying you don't believe. Allah is not addressing the Mushrikeen and the Kuffar and this one and that one. People don't believe. No, Allah is saying, O you who believe. Number one. Number two, any ayat which begins with, We know that this is a hukum of Allah. Whatever comes after that is the command. Therefore, it must be obeyed. So what is the command? Allah says, Enter into Islam completely. Now think about that. This is the believers. And remember, the ayat did not come for you and me. When the ayat came, who are the believers there? It's Abu Bakr and Omar and Osman and Ali and Talha and Zubair. All the Sahaba of Rasulullah SAW. These are the best of the best. The first generation, the best generation, the people who learned Islam at the feet of the Prophet. Allah is addressing them and saying, Enter into Islam fully and completely. Right? So therefore, the first thing we understand is that simply saying, My name is Abdul Rahman or saying that, I say to Allah, There is no God but Allah. I say to Muhammad Rasulullah. Or saying that my father and grandfather and great grandfather, What not, I'm a born Muslim. None of this matters. Islam is about me. Islam is about you individually as a person. It doesn't matter who your father, grandfather was. Because if you look at the Sahaba, The first generation, Every single one, One of them was a convert. Every one of them was a revert. It's only Abdul Abid Zubair and the others. Radha Allah anhu. Radha Allah anhum. And then, of course, The grandchildren of Rasulullah SAW. These were the people who were born into Islam. Because both Sayyidah Fatima and Sayyidah Ali were Muslim. And Abdul Abid Zubair, His father Zubair bin Awam and his mother Asma bin Abi Bakr. They were Muslim. But other than that, The first generation, The first generation who came, There was nobody. I mean, every single one of them was a revert. So it doesn't matter whether my ancestors and my extended family, Whether they are Muslim, non-Muslim. What matters is me. So I need to look at myself. You need to look at yourself and say, Have I entered completely into Islam as Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wishes me to do? As Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala commanded me to do? Right? So that's the first question to ask yourself. Then Allah continued in the ayah. Allah said, See the beauty of the, The Bayan of the Quran. Allah said, Allah did not say don't follow shaytan. Allah did not say don't go, Don't go with shaytan. Allah said don't follow the footsteps of shaytan. Khutuwat. Now, What is the meaning of saying don't follow footsteps? When you're talking about footsteps, What are you looking at there? Small to the big. Eh? Small to the big. Small to the big. Okay. What else? The path. Paths, actions. No, just physically. If I say, Hudaifah is there, right? So supposing I tell you don't follow Hudaifah's, Don't follow Hudaifah. That's one thing. Don't go with Hudaifah is one thing. Don't follow his footsteps means, Where is Hudaifah? Is he there? The same direction. He's going. Is he physically there? No, he's not. Exactly. The first thing, First thing to understand is the only time you're going to say, Don't follow the footsteps of so and so, Is when the person himself is not there. If the person is there, You won't say don't follow. You'll say don't follow him. You won't say, You won't talk about footsteps. Here's the guy in front of you. Follow him. Don't follow him. Whatever. Right? But the moment you're saying don't follow footsteps means, That the person is not there. Now, What does it mean? Therefore, If I follow the footsteps of Shaitaan, Whose responsibility is it? Yours. Shaitaan is not even there. I can't say he took me. He did.
