oh mountains of Mecca what can you say
of the day that Abraham passed your way
and he was instructed by God to build a
house of Peace where people will pray
and they will come on every lean caml
and out of every Ravine for the purpose
of praising
Allah to
glorify
Allah oh mountains of Mecca what can you
tell of the day that stones from the sky
fell destroying an army determined to
break the house of Allah that Abraham
built on
Mountain alhamdulillah Alum peace be on
to you welcome to another episode of the
dean show we're going to be broadcasting
live all over the Hajj this is the fifth
pillar of Islam you've
testified that there's none worthy of
worship except the creator of the
heavens and earth and Muhammad is his
last and final messenger you've
established the Salat pay the charity
now you're fasting during the month of
Ramadan now look at this it's time to
gather with a black and a white yellow
there were Purple People they'd be here
also worshiping the one God how
amazing where else do people like this
gather from all around the
world nobody's coming here to worship a
black box in the desert they're coming
here to do the same ritual as Abraham
did as Moses and all the messengers of
God did so now we're going to be with
our guest shik YF Estus we're going to
be taking you and showing you some of
the different events that are going on
around here in Mecca so you want to stay
tuned sit tight going to be live all
over Mecca bring you the HJ only
onam that's right that's what we're
going to be saying just in a little
while as we approach the Caba when we
get to the Haram in Mecca for the
pilgrimage
ha we're really excited about this
opportunity to be all together for this
great event once in the lifetime of the
Muslim when they're able to afford it
and able to go what we want to do in our
program today is to emphasize the ease
of the Allah says in the
Quran he's telling us how after
difficulties there's ease certainly this
is something to reflect on when we talk
about performing High
because there are difficulties from the
very beginning when we think oh how will
I do this where will I get the money how
will I take care of things who will take
care of my family while I'm away so many
things come into my mind but remember
Allah wants for you usra not he wants
for you ease and that's what he said in
the Quran let us think about it now all
right alhamdulillah somehow we could get
the money together somehow we got the
time off from work and now here we are
we went to the airport we stood in the
crowd so many people we got our tickets
baggage checked ah seems like a headache
and we didn't even get in the airplane
alhamdulillah finally now we're in the
plane alhamdulillah can we believe it
we're on our way going all the way to
Saudi Arabia for the allahar but it's
not over it's just beginning yeah what's
next well before you reach the M this is
the boundaries there's a boundary that
you must put the on before you get to it
because if you wait too long you got a
problem because you'd have to go way out
to be able to put on the Iram so what
we'll do kind of get ahead of everybody
else is we're going to take theam let's
have that over here now let's take a
look at theam what Isam it comes from
the word haram it means forbidden
because when you're in a state ofam many
things you mustn't do the Haram that's
the place where we're going to be where
the Caba is that also comes from the
word haram everything in theab is Haram
to kill anything to step on the bugs
Haram to take anything you leave
everything as it is so it means it's
very critical for you to follow what
Islam is allowing you to do you got some
narrow boundaries in here and the same
is true when you go Allah abbar for your
prayer that's called a state of Iram and
this is the
like this it means now while I'm in
Salah of course I can't talk to people I
can't eat I can't drink certainly I
shouldn't fall asleep all of these
things become
Haram also you don't turn around walk
away in the prayer this is something
that you know Common Sense tells you
these things are Haram well that's what
we're getting ready to do now this
Isam these two towels that I hold up
right here this is all I'm going to be
wearing in a few
minutes yep that's right whenever a man
now women they can just wear their
regular clothes but when a man's ready
to be in the state
ofam that means that he's going to
remove all of its clothes and only have
these two towels
on we'll see about that
now when we do this there has to be
something done before anything else it's
called the Nia the intention and the
Prophet Muhammad
he told
us that before every action there must
be intention because all the actions
will be only by intention so we make the
intention or the Nia for Allah and we
ask Allah to accept from us of course
and I say I'm going to perform my Haj
now there are three major types of of uh
ha that we do now I'll make my intention
now this means I'm going going to put on
theam now and of course I'll go into the
restroom to do that and then we'll be
attired like this for the rest of this
journey all the way to land and when we
be landing we'll be wearing this and
when we get there what we're going to do
we'll go through the customs and things
so you have to do that and then we'll
also go with the brothers they'll pick
us up in jeda and then they'll take us
on out we'll go to Mecca when we get to
Mecca now what we'll do is we'll do a ta
that means we'll do seven circum
ulations around the Caba and then after
that we'll pray to Raa by ibraim station
then following that we'll do
seven going back and forth say between
the mount called as Safa and Al Mara
Safa and Mara go between them seven
times then following that we have a lot
of Dua in there which you will see
inshallah in the program then we cut
some hair and finish that's the omra now
we'll go back to the hotel or where
we're staying we'll change to our
regular clothes and then we'll be back
with you telling you more of that as we
go we'll be put this back on then for
the hod that's how it works so let's get
it started now I'm going to go do that
right now
oops I have to take the seat belt off
first
we're ready you can't go in here with
me well that didn't take very long did
it and you can see that I have on the
two pieces of your Haram now this is the
upper garment the top part and then
there's the lower part here I don't know
if how well you can see that let's take
a look at
it now this is not exactly going to get
you into GQ Gentlemen's Quarterly but
hey we're not here for that we're here
for Allah that's what it's all about to
do the rituals that go along with the
pilgrimage established even at the time
of Abraham let's go get back in the
seats cuz it's time to get started now
we'll start our descent and be landing
in
jeda
alhamdulillah
alhamdulillah well that's it that was
the omra we got to do omra now and it's
okay for us now to come out of theam one
of the last things that we had to do was
to uh cut the hair and we did that that
it doesn't look like it on me because I
have such long hair but we were as you
know just removed about that much and
this is all it's required to cut the
hair you don't have to shave it but
especially when you do rra cuz if you
shaved it then whenever you do your HJ
what would you have you know your hair's
all gone so I like to cut it in the rra
about like this and then when we do H
which will be a little later on we'll be
going back into but I'm getting ahead of
myself so let's do this now we'll go and
I'll get out of theam finish up
everything and uh we'll get a surprise
for you watch
this would change and be right out can't
go in
here alhamdulillah didn't take long did
it so this is now the first stage of
Hajj tomato or the Hajj which has
pleasure in it from the word mut which
is pleasure now this stage we're back
now in our street Garb and we'll be able
to relax and enjoy and do the things
that we would ordinarily do on a
day-to-day basis with a few limited
exception but for the most part this
complet stage one we've done our omra
now when we go back into theam again and
put the towels back on us then we'll go
and begin the ha and we'll be talking
about that more later but that gives you
an idea of going in and out of the first
stages ofam for Hajj
tamat got surprise for you coming up
watch
this the cabba here in the sanctuary or
What's called the Haram in Mecca has
long been the focus of the point of
worship for the Muslims this is the
place we turn to five times a day to
perform our ritual worship called ass
Salat or
prayer and for those that maybe are not
familiar with this the people you see
going around there that's called a TA
that's the TA off or the
circumambulation of the Caba associated
with the visit to Mecca when you come
here to Mecca to the sanctuary and you
perform this in any circumstance but
especially especially when you come for
the omra the Lesser pilgrimage or the
Haj which is the main pilgrimage of
Islam and these people are going to each
one go around there seven times now you
can go around it on the floor as you see
what called the toah floor or in the
upper levels you see people going around
there too even on the very top of the
building all of it counts the same and
it's a little easier on the top but it's
a lot longer distance let's give you a
little idea the feel of what it's like
to to go around like the cabba and do
what the prophets all did cuz all of the
prophets of Islam did this going around
the cabba seven times like
that now the Talia or the saying of Le
Aluma
this is something very special that when
someone has come here to perform their
ha they're saying here I am oh my Lord
here I am because they're answering the
call they've been called as Muslims to
come here and do these events these
rituals associated with the worship
based on the teachings all the way back
of Abraham and Moses David Solomon Jesus
Christ peace be upon all of them and of
course Muhammad who came back came to
restore back to the Muslims what the
real religion was about and when they
say they're basically saying here I am
oh my Lord here I
am and it says here here I am and you
have no Partners here I am so this
Begins the essence and the in the
intention toward performing this
pilgrimage we'll have more of that's
going to be coming up up but we wanted
you to get a feel for this this coming
into the Haram and going around the
cabba we're looking at in the background
What's called the mountain of light or
javel this is the same place this oddl
looking pointed top of mountain that you
see right there this is the exact place
where the revelation of the Quran came
down on Lea toter the night of power and
this is the same place the cave of H is
there and that's where the Prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him was when the
angel Gabriel came to him the angel came
in the night as the prophet Muhammad
peace be upon him was worshiping Allah
he was fasting by the way during the
daytime and he was praying all through
the night and now the angel came to him
and when the angel came to him it
startled him and the angel commanded him
in the Arabic language
language he responded back to
him the command was recite the reply I'm
not a reciter again the angel grabbed
him grasped him close to him and then
released him and he said to him
again recite and he replied back to him
an Omi I'm illiterate I don't know how
to read or write is what he meant and
then again the angel grasping close to
him and released to him
in
that was the beginning of revelation of
the Quran for the next 23 years Peace by
peace little by little the Quran was
revealed to the prophet Muhammad as his
life and the lives of those around him
were affected by many different
circumstances the Quran came to give
them the meaning behind what they were
living through and how to deal with all
different types of
situations this is the beginning of the
revelation of Al Quran kareim right here
at jabal Mo the mountain of light and by
the way this is just a little bit north
outside of the city called Mecca now in
the Bible it was called Baka it's also
called Baka in the Quran through
different pronunciations people began to
call it
Maca alhamdulillah alaykum which means
peace be unto you welcome to another
episode of the dean show and back by
popular demand you suggested to have him
back again you're always excited when we
have him here on the dean show and we're
going to be talking about the fifth
pillar of Islam Hajj with shik yusf
est
alikum sh it's great to be here with you
Eddie I love to be on the dean show but
especially in a case like this for HJ
we're here in Mecca as you know and you
and I both are here for that purpose to
do our hjj and it's also a bonus that we
can make a program for the dean show out
of our Hodge while we're doing it yes
it's always exciting to have you here on
the show and when you look down if the
people can see black white yellow red
and there was pink people they'll be
down there worshiping one God and we
want to talk about some of the
misconceptions because the dean show is
here to help clear those misconceptions
and make the path to Islam easy for them
tell us about the hudge and how this all
started well first of all the one of the
things that people ask us about what is
the origin of the ritual itself where
did it come from is this something that
was invented by Muhammad peace be upon
him or is it something that came from
the Pagan is is it original uh what do
they call it Ritual from some kind of uh
Pagan worship and that kind of thing
what we' like to stress first and
foremost is that for all of our viewers
everywhere that Islam is based on the
worship of one God let me tell you what
Allah said about it in the Quran when he
saidin he's telling us that he only
created us to worship so our worship has
to be for him alone and this is very key
and this is what we're going to be
talking about in the program now you've
probably heard a lot of
nonsense things that people have made up
misconceptions intentional unintentional
why don't you give us some of the top
four or five misconceptions that people
have about what we do here Ina yeah what
we can do is to begin with is to talk
about the Oneness of Allah and in this
when we begin to talk about monotheism
or Oneness Islam Allah is telling us
that he only created us for worship as
we said he
says we're only created for worship to
start with worship of him rather than
worship of multiplicity of gods or
worshiping something that you can create
with your own hands and you know a rock
a stick a stone a bone a statues and
things Idols that people make good luck
charms all these things are not what
Islam is all about so when somebody
tries to associate Islam with false
worship of these pagan gods and so on
this is a big mistake but now to be fair
a lot of people are ignorant and they
don't know and they assume things from
what they might observe from what some
people might do and then this is one of
the best cases for us to come here to be
in the center of the whole thing the as
you say the heart of the matter and
that's for right there right that place
right there that cabba is on the same
spot according to the Israeli the
stories of in the children of Israel
that's the spot where Adam put his head
when he asked Allah to forgive him for
eating the fruit that he was forbidden
to eat this is the very Place according
to that narrative now in Islam we know
that for sure it is the exact spot that
the cabba was built on in the very
beginning and that was erected by
Abraham who is the great great great
great
Granda way back bunch of greats in there
of prophet Muhammad himself by way of
Ishmael which was pronounced Isel in the
Arabic language now Ismael the son of
Abraham peace be upon them was left here
in the desert along with his mother by
Abraham by a Divine command or dream
that came to the prophet Abraham that's
the very spot right there where it
happened now they were left there and
after food and water was all gone when
it was exhausted then they had nothing
left so his mother went up on one Hill
called asafa she went on top of it and
looked and looked trying to find
anything she could you know help or
maybe water or something then she went
down to the valley and then up on the
other side on al- marwa between safha
and Mara these two places she ran back
and forth looking looking and she went
back seven times between these two
mountains and finding nothing at all she
really turning to Allah and asking Allah
help us help us and then Allah caused
water to come up out of out of the
ground the angel Gabriel came down and
then water came up out of the ground it
kept coming up and coming up in the
desert and this water was coming up so
rapidly and so fast that it was really a
miracle there was no mistaking what it
was and that water still comes up even
until today this is called The Well of
zamzam and the zamzam is one of the
representatives of this great event now
we don't worship the mountains and we
don't worship the well and we don't
worship the water but we worship the one
who created all of it to begin with And
We Worship the one who brings us water
when there's nothing there to bring
water out of and still today that water
is running like this it's a miracle this
whole entire city is making it off of
this water the well as Z you'd be
surprised that how much water can be
pumped out of there and it just never
dries up it's amazing amazing tell us do
you know of any other event that brings
together this many amount a people in
the world from all
different places all over the globe
white yellow brown red you know anywhere
and tell us what are some of the things
that when someone comes down here what
do they do well even the Olympics in
Beijing okay even in that you'd be
surprised that uh there weren't there
were a lot of people but nothing on the
magnitude of what we have here during
the ha because literally millions of
people are converging on a place that
normally only inhabit inhabitants here
are just a few maybe less than 100,000
or something that but now all of a
sudden you've got 3 million four million
sometimes even up to 5 million people
all gathering together at the same time
not only in the same city but in the
same place to do the same thing now you
might imagine that uh this could be
chaos and it would be if it weren't for
the very clear rituals the way it's been
spelled out by Prophet Muhammad peace be
upon him what needs to be done at what
time and where you're supposed to go and
what you're supposed to do and everybody
basically falls into sink locking
together and moving together and doing
the things they're supposed to do now if
somebody makes a mistake and goes the
wrong way it's a problem for them that's
for sure but for the most part it goes
very very smooth of course you have the
people here up Saudi who have been for
years and CES really taking care of the
pilgrims when they come and it's their
responsibility really to be sure
everything is facilitated and they do
they do an excellent job to make sure
everybody's doing what they're supposed
to do when they're supposed to do it the
way they're supposed to do it and one of
the things that people come up to us and
they'll ask us about was these rituals
do you guys like change them over the
years cuz some other religions they will
change their rituals according to the
modern times as you might say or the
according to the traditions of of the
people changing so they want to change
their religion to go with it but that's
not the case here it always stays
exactly the same it's the same place the
same time of the lunar year and in the
same way and the Revival of bringing
this back to the way of Abraham actually
was prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
now you asked about some of the
Innovations or the ideas that people
have thinking that this is just
something made up from Pagan religions
and things like that in in fact they
have a good cause to say what they say
because pagans did go around this cabba
and pagans did invent false worship but
it was after Abraham they were children
of Ishmael and descendants of them and
they got away from the True Religion and
they began innovating and doing some
strange things along with these rituals
and really confused a lot of people some
historians and archaeologists who have
mixed the two together have not
understood that the what Abraham came
with and never anything different was
the worship of one God in the Bible you
find it's saying that this is the god of
Abraham the god of David the god of
Solomon the god of Ishmael and Isaac the
god of Jacob the god of job the god of
Jonah and certainly the god of Jesus
Christ peace be upon him and peace be
upon all of them so this one God is the
same one worshiped and it was always in
the same way and this is the place where
every single Prophet came and performed
this circumambulation going around and
doing a TOA right here at this place
couple more Point shake before we uh
come to an end and then we're going to
take them over our viewers to see a
little more of the details with you
explaining it we talk to the non-muslims
now our brothers in humanity who were
trying to clear these misconceptions for
so they can end up being our brothers in
faith accepting there's only one God
Muhammad is his messenger
tell us now for the Muslims who should
be here at H but they're they're making
uh pilgrimage somewhere else Florida the
Bahamas and they're procrastinating what
advice do you have well first of all it
is a commandment it's a commandment in
Islam that we must perform the Haj Allah
says it in the Quran whenever he says
this statement all you who believe it's
a commandment and we have to do it we
mustn't uh treat this lightly because it
could put you out of the faith of Islam
when Allah says for you to perform the
Haj on the way of Abraham and his son
Ismael which is being restored to you
now by Muhammad Revelation coming to him
from God and showing us and telling us
exactly how to do it where to do it when
to do it and it's clear so this is not
an option for us it is the fifth pillar
of the five pillars of Islam so as soon
as you're able to find your way to do it
as soon as you have the money as soon as
you have have the your bills taken care
of properly somebody to take care of
your family you must do this it's not an
option you can't put it off till next
year the year after all I want to save
up for this I want to save up that no
you have to do it as soon as you can do
it and then you'll be blessed by Allah
for this you will be highly blessed and
Allah will take care of your family
Allah will take care of your money and
the matters that you're worried about in
fact everybody who comes back from Hajj
the only regret they will say is I wish
I would have done it sooner I wish I
could do it more often nobody comes back
going oh that's a lame thing I wish I
didn't do it or never I ever heard this
out of the millions and millions of
people who did the H always come back in
alhamdulillah I did my Hajj
alhamdulillah this is a great way to get
close to Allah alhamdulillah I learned
more about my religion my Dean
alhamdulillah Allah is blessing me all
my problems became solved when I got
home this is the one thing that you
should really look for as a Salvation
here on Earth is to do this Hajj it is a
great and wonderful thing I know
personally I've done the Hajj many times
and every time alhamdulillah I came back
home and found things to be much better
than when I left and I found in myself
much better from the immediately from
doing this Hajj so this is all good for
us and when people see the features of
the Hajj and understand it and then they
realize the benefits that go with it
they can only say it's an advantage to
me really to do this thing I need to do
it as soon as I can now as far as some
of the criticism that we find people
saying oh this and that about they don't
know Islam we're talking about the
Muslims now and they look and they say
well why do you worship this black box
why you have to go there doesn't God
know where I'm at doesn't he know what's
in my heart the answer is absolutely he
knows where you are he knows what's in
your heart and he knows you're
procrastinating and not doing what he
told you to do and that's also important
to understand our Salah five times a day
must be on time our fasting of Ramadan
is not an option and our giving the
charity or the zakat as it's called the
purification of wealth this is something
imperative we must do this and certainly
that we would do the Hajj the pilgrimage
here to the bait or the house of Allah
and alhamdulillah this is something so
beautiful when you see the true way of
Abraham and his followers up until
Muhammad his descendant peace be upon
all of them and you realize that I'm
getting to do this I'm a part of this
I'm a part of this great Brotherhood of
human beings coming together for the
worship of the one God in the way it was
commanded to be I can't imagine anything
better than this really can't worship
one God that's it not his creation
that's it that's a simple message that's
the same message make the prayer fast
during the month of Ramadan pay the
charity come to Hajj make your hjj make
your pilgrimage that's the that's the
simple
system and then what's the reward the
reward is by following this Dean this
way of life is nothing less than
Paradise for all the Believers and
coming back from Hajj when you come back
from your Hajj all your sins are
forgiven and you're like newborn like
you just came from your mother it is the
real salvation in this life if you want
to really know about salvation do your
Hajj and feel what it's like to come
back knowing Allah forgave you of every
single sin since day one it's gone it's
wiped clean and now you're good with
your lord you get a fresh start and then
on the day of judgment this is something
good for you and certainly in the next
life to be there with the Believers and
be close to the prophets what more could
you ask for indeed he is the most
merciful the most loving the creator of
the heavens and earth one more request
we want to see you in theam we want to
see you go over a little more of these
details you think we can go to the next
segment and you can go
over certainly yeah what we will do now
we've already performed our omra and
people have had a chance to get a taste
of that now we'll get ready to do the
Haj what we'll do for the Hajj is to
begin the same way that we did with the
omah by putting on theam after we've
made Our intention
then we'll go on out to mina after we
spend the night in Mina we'll then go on
out to Arafat on Arafat there are some
things that we'll do there as well as
combining our prayers together and uh we
won't perform the night prayer the the
evening prayer of mreb instead after the
sun goes down we'll take off and we'll
go to a place called musala and then in
musala that's where we'll pray our MB
and our Isa the two night prayers
together and spend the night there we'll
actually sleep right there on the ground
if you like or maybe you take a mattress
with you but anyway we'll spend the
night there then before the sun comes up
in the morning just before that we'll
pray What's called the fuder the morning
prayer and after that we'll make our way
back to mina following that we go into
the uh for the TA and the sa we go back
here to the cabba the area you see
behind me here and perform that we'll
cut the hair there'll be sacrificed to
sacrifice the animal for charity to give
to the poor and then uh we'll begin
stoning the jamarat those are the
pillars that are out there in Mina and
certain rituals that go with that all of
this established by Abraham Abraham and
Ismael his son and the great great
grandfather of the Prophet Muhammad this
is all going to be taking place and then
when it's all over with and we're ready
to wrap it up the last thing we'll do
before we leave we've come out of ouram
we're ready to go we'll do our final
taah this one last taah that we do to sa
farewell
the and that'll be the farewell and by
the way this will be the farewell from
us too cuz we got to get ready to go do
that right now Salam alaykum stay tuned
we got more for you here on the dean
show we're talking about Hajj with
Sheikh Yousef
Estus one the thing too we notice that
we see people from every part of the
world from Africa from the Gulf from
Asia from South Asia from Europe
literally around the entire world we're
seeing people from everywhere all coming
together for this same wonderful event
and that is to have our sins forgiven by
repenting to almighty God and following
the the disciplines that he set forth
for us to obeying his commands and and
performing Maraj you look out through
here and you'll see a tremendous number
of people you look right straight out
over in the uh Center here you look you
see these people are actually walking
many of them walking for the last 5 or
10 miles and there you see in the
background the M that's a MOS that's
only used twice
the for the two prayers that are going
to be performed
there where are all these these people
gather like this Mr
youf you might wonder why
would you might wonder why people would
go to the trouble to pay money to take
off time from work and everything to
gather to be here but the reality of it
is that this is something we look
forward to it's a Once in a Lifetime
occasion and we've talked about Hajj
before and you know that this is a
pillar of Islam it's something that
Muslims have to do to who really uh
fulfilled their their obligation to
their lord the one who created us the
one who has given us life who sustains
us so it's only fitting it's only right
that we would obey his commands and this
is a command of Allah that he gave not
just for Muslims today but it's actually
going way back to the prophet Abraham
prophet Abraham or Ibrahim as he's
called in the Arabic language peace be
upon Him Al Salam
he was instructed by Allah in what to do
in his
sacrifices and everything from even
trying to sacrifice his own son to
please Allah to show how much uh
obedience there is even if you don't
understand something you're still
willing to obey God in it CU you know
this is what he's asked you to do and
when Muslims do it this is giv them a a
a tremendous sense of being forgiven and
being accepted their salvation and one
of the things that we know about coming
here for
Hajj the
pilgrimage is that when the person
returns back home he comes back as if he
was just born from his mother he comes
back sinless with no sin on him all
previous sins are now forgiven he gets a
new lease on life it's a good chance for
him to start over to be the person he
would like to be to give up these bad
habits to get away from the evil and the
sinful life that perhaps he was or she
was leading but now they've got this new
Chance by coming back clean and they're
clean with the law it doesn't mean the
people forgive you of course it doesn't
mean you don't have to pay your debts
but what it means is you've got a chance
in front of Allah law and one of the
things that our Prophet peace be upon
him told us that it's a very horrible
person who thinks he made so many sins
that Allah couldn't forgive him cuz
Allah can forgive everything as he says
except one thing and he mentions it in
chapter 4: 48 of the Quran when he tells
us that he does not forgive people
setting up partners with him in worship
but anything less than this he can
forgive and this is one of the greatest
ways to be forgiven is to do this to
come here for this Haj for this
pilgrimage and it's been going on as we
said since the time of of Abraham and
and also something at the time of Moses
something at the time of David and
sullan something at the time of Jesus
and something at the time of Muhammad
was something called pilgrimage
and that ladies and gentlemen was the
fifth pillar of Islam the Hajj Allah God
Almighty the Creator is so merciful and
loving that he gives us so many
different ways to exate to absolve to
get rid of these many heavy sins and
this is one of those ways the pilgrimage
you just got to see to Hajj one returns
from it sin-free like a newborn baby
he's got a fresh start to make a new new
beginning and live a good wholesome life
putting Allah God Almighty first before
anybody else I'd like to thank our
special guest shik yusf Estus who helped
us cover the fifth pillar of Islam the
Hajj and all the brothers who are out
there supporting and
helping may God Almighty Allah reward
you in abundance and we got a couple
more points I want to cover before we
come to an close so you know and you
leave with knowing these fact facts
Islam means submission and surrender to
one God Islam is not a new religion this
concept was brought by all the
messengers of God they all called the
people to surrender and to submit to one
God to worship him alone and not his
creation if you want to follow a
man-made religion if you want to follow
an organized religion organized by men
or man go right ahead but if you want to
follow a divine religion a Divine way of
life knowing that you don't have the
answers to everything you need God's
help you need his assistance and you
need his paradise because we got to
admit we don't know everything and this
life is not a paradise this life will
come to an end and the system the way of
life that God has sent for you to live
by
taught throughout time is Islam
submission and surren surer to one God
second point we want to
cover and let you go away knowing this
fact that the pilgrimage that you got to
see Toca known as Mecca is also not
something new brought by Muhammad s
alaihi wasallam it was something
established by Abraham practiced by
Moses and Jesus and it was revived by
the prophet Muhammad the last and final
messenger sent to mankind just as
monotheism was brought by all the
messengers of God
and throughout time man put his hands in
things made things a little convenient
for himself changed things according to
his desires added deleted so God sent
his last and final Messenger to bring
things back to their pure state so the
pilgrimage to Mecca the Hajj was brought
back to its pure State the same way
monotheism was brought back to its pure
state State now for those of you who
want to do the right thing for those of
you who want to do what God wants you to
do sick of following your desires you're
hitting the dead end every time you want
to do what the Creator wants you to do
because at the end it's nothing less
than Paradise call the number below 1
800 662 Islam remember when somebody
accepts Islam surrender and submission
to one God he's not accepting a new
religion he's accepting the the way of
life practiced by all the messengers of
God you're accepting something that you
were born with something that God
embedded inside of you already and
that's to worship him alone not his
creation it's very simple 1800 662 Islam

step there's a lot of things distracting
