In the name of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful

All praise is due to Allah The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful, The Almighty, The Restorer, The Giver of blessings. The one who controls the affairs of the world. Oh Allah our Lord, take care of our affairs and keep away from us all harm. You are our lord and You have power over all.

Allah The Most High said in the Noble Quran:  โ€œAnd take provisions, but indeed, the best provision is Taqwa (the state of being aware, alert and on guard against wrongdoing). And have Taqwa of Me, O you of understandingโ€.  My dear brothers and sisters: have we prepared our provisions, it maybe the time to has neared?  Certainly, Allah has increased the blessings of those who are pious. Allah, The Most High, said in the Noble Quran:  โ€œIndeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs, taking what their Lord has given them.  Indeed, they were before that doers of good.  They used to sleep but little of the night and in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness, And from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprived.โ€

Oh Believers, the best of blessed days for worship have approached so let’s seize them. These days are the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah.  The days by the greatness of which, Allah, The Most High, gave an oath in the Holy Quran:  โ€œBy the Dawn, and [by] the ten nightsโ€. The prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, informed us of the benefits of these ten days. Jabir ibn Abdillah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings upon him, said:  “There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than those ten days.”  They said: “O Messenger of Allah! Not even Jihad in the path of Allah?”  The Messenger of Allah said: “Not even Jihad in the path of Allah, unless a man were to go out with his life and his wealth and not return from that with anything.”

If one was asked what is the special benefit of these days.  One would reply that the day of Arafat and the day of sacrifice are in these days.  The day of Arafat is one of the main days of the pilgrimage (Hajj).  This great worship shows the greatest of the benefits of these days.  How many of us yearn to make this great pilgrimage, the pilgrimage that unfortunately we are unable to attend this year due to the current Health & Safety restrictions in place because of Covid-19?  We Ask Allah to free us all from the Corona virus, verily he has power over all.

Many of us had very reasonable hopes of performing the great pilgrimage this year.  Although, the current Covid 19 dangers prevented us from performing the Hajj, they do not and cannot deprive us of the great rewards, the benefits, the mercy and the forgiveness from Allah. My dear brothers and sisters letโ€™s together begin to increase our good actions in light of these difficult times which have ravaged the world.  Verily many of your brothers are going through such difficult times that they have not witnessed before.  Oh devotees of Allah, give for the love of Allah and do not be afraid of decrease (in your wealth).  Give generously so that those in need can have the food to break their fasting, aid them in their affairs, relieve their stress and anxiety. Listen to the words of the prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings upon him; Abdallah ibn โ€˜Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, Said:  โ€œThe most beloved people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to people.  The most beloved deed to Allah is to make a Muslim happy, or to remove one of his troubles, or to forgive his debt, or to feed his hunger.  That I walk with a brother Muslim over a need is more beloved to me than that I seclude myself in this mosque (in Medina) for a month. Whoever suppresses his anger, then Allah will conceal his faults. Whoever suppresses his rage, even though he could carry it out if he wished, then Allah will secure his heart with contentment on the Day of Resurrection.  Whoever walks with his brother regarding a need until he secures it for him, then Allah Almighty will make his footing firm across the bridge on the day when the footings are shaken and bad character ruins the deeds just as vinegar ruins honeyโ€.

Be devoted to Allah by being brothers.  Allah, The Most High, said โ€œIndeed, the believers are brothersโ€.
