Inability to visit Mecca will always be deeply painful for those of us who used our voices to speak up about injustice. The moral clarity of this khutbah gives some consolation. Thank you.
This was amazing. Sheikh's words are always so intellectually rich and well-articulated. They always speak of true morality and justice. Thank you to the entire team for all their efforts x
I would love to go to Hajj, but it is grossly expensive, and I have a hard time believing the Prophet would have approved. Ive long argued with myself if I would even go due to the corruption but tied to obligation. Hearing about him standing on the Kabba twisted my stomach and Im not sure I would have been able to remain silent at the sight in person. Ive asked people in authority around my mosque ways to help refugees Muslims and similar things, but everyone seems so complacent and would rather throw dinner parties. Any time I ask, the subject is quickly changed or ignored. Maybe its because Im a not a "born" muslim, as we (or so it seems) are kept separate from our fellow brothers and sisters and, as a result, arent as productive as we could be. Ive just become so frustrated that when I give, i give in charity towards places and people that I know are actively involved and have mostly ceased interacting at my local mosque. Thank you for discussing the subject, as it has weighed heavy on my heart. Peace be upon you.
The Prophet (saw) would seek to reestablish Islam via the khilafah in the Hijaz and then unite the Muslim lands under as we saw in the first century of Islam. Sadly this is all ignored today.
Dear Sheikh, I have a question. I will give an example. A Muslim woman is oppressed and a victim of much violence and misogyny in her so-called "Islamic" land. She moves to a European country for safety. Perhaps she feels bitter helping such a Muslim ummah. (After all, no white coloniser is holding the hand of a Muslim man and forcing him to treat women this way and to restrict their rights and movement). What would you advise her?
Just a reminder, no person spends money to go on hajj to fatten the pockets of this or that person. We don't go because we wish to contribute to a noble cause. We go because our Creator commands it. Allah's commands are not subject to anybody's geo political concerns, we don't negotiate with our Lord on our terms. You want to make the Muslim world better by literally crumbling a fundamental pillar of islam, that in itself is so crazy to comprehend but you literally spoke on behalf of Allah and said that Allah will listen, understand and forgive those who listen to you...forget everything else and really understand what it means that you genuinely deciding gods forgiveness and cursing people to hell fire. You've gifted yourself authority even our Nabi did not have...
Did Allah not tell us that killing someone unjustly is like killing the whole of humanity ? If our money is going to the corrupt Saudi Hindutva Zionist regime to kill innocent people in Yemen palestine India and who else god knows where, then we are committing a major sin as we would be partaking and supporting the people in taking the life of other unjustly
The prophet didn't do hajj when the kaaba was in the hands of the oppressors of arabia so why should we when it is under the authority of one of the largest oppressors of our time. Just because they claim to be muslims doesn't mean they practice any of the values islam came to establish.
@@noorahamid3376 not a very smart answer. How did the treaty of Hudaybiyyah come about ? And its not the case that the people in charge are stopping you from coming,

May Allah keep you safe and secure. Thank you for the alternative to hajj; I have been conflicted about that for some time.

Subhanallah! This is a very sad reality ya Shaykh
Thought provoking. Huwallahi i never think that way.
