alhamdulillah
all Praises are du to Allah lord of the
worlds and May the peace and blessings
be upon our beloved Prophet Muhammad his
family and his companions forever I
begin with the greeting words of
Paradise
alayum one of the great mercies upon
this umah this nation is that the
prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be
upon him the Seal of the prophets the
last of the Great Messengers he did not
speak from himself but as in the case of
ibraim the prophet Abraham Alam as in
the case of Musa the prophet Moses Alam
as in the case of Jesus
isaam the prophet Muhammad
spoke on behalf of the creator of the
heavens and the Earth and one of the
special qualities of this last prophet
peace be upon him was that Allah subhana
wa ta'ala gave him
a view of the
future so that even though he lived in
Arabia 14400 years ago he was able to
see the vastness of the earth he was
able to ponder upon sites that no human
being in his time or up until today was
able to see and in one Hadith one of the
sahabah
thaan he reports that the prophet peace
be upon him said verily Allah has sh
shown me the expanses of the earth he
showed me the East and he showed me the
west and he informed me that the
possessions of my umah my nation would
reach as far as I have
seen and so in this Hadith the prophet
peace be upon him was given an amazing
sight into the future and
S surely he spoke the truth today Islam
is spreading all throughout this planet
to the farthest
reaches
recently information has come to us that
in New Zealand and now if you stand in
Arabia and you go east you'll find with
the date lined somewhere out in the
Polynesian Islands in the Pacific and
now recently word has come that in New
Zealand the mai people they are
accepting Islam in
crowds this is a phenomenon that was not
known in the past and so far out into
the Polynesian Islands people are coming
into
Islam to the West you cross Morocco
cross the Atlantic Ocean into America
where thousands of people yearly are
still embracing Islam and if we continue
West to the furthest point of the West
we see in Hawaii in the islands of
Hawaii in that part of the Pacific we
find that there are large amounts of
people who are also embracing Islam
s he did not speak from himself he spoke
from
Revelation I had the opportunity to
travel to the far north to a place
called
Alaska and in that part of the world
there are a there are strange natural
phenomena that went on WE reached Alaska
in the summer and we were with the jam
when the time came to make Salat the
Imam looked at his watch and he said
it's time for prayers we made M and the
sun was
out the time for Isa came he looked at
his watch again he said it's time
for and the sun was still
out we continued until 12 or 1:00 at
night we tried to go to sleep we looked
outside and the sun was out as though it
was
noon but this is the Midnight Sun this
is one of the strange pH phoma in the
earth of Allah subhana wa tala but the
great fukah of Islam have shown us a way
out of this that when you travel to the
North in an area where you are so far
away that the day is not equal not like
the Middle East in that if you go so far
out that the day does not change and you
find in the north you'll have a whole
month of of sun and you'll have a whole
month of Darkness if you reach that
point then you can make
you find the closest city that has a
reasonable time and then you can use
that for your time some of the scholars
also told us we could use
me as the basis for the whole world and
so Islam is dynamic and in that part of
the world alhamdulillah we met Inuit
people known as Eskimos who build their
houses out of ice it is so cold that the
whole house is made of ice on the inside
skin is put and by the mercy of Allah
the house becomes warm in this igloo in
these areas people in a place called
Fairbanks Alaska the Inuit people the
Eskimo people are coming into
Islam in the far reaches of the north
this is a phenomena that we never knew
before it is so cold in the north that
sometimes in the winter it goes down to
minus 60
de up to the North Pole but by the mercy
of Allah Islam is
spreading and so in all parts of the
world now we find the message of Allah
subhana wa ta'ala spreading throughout
the planet despite the political
confusions of the world today despite
the wrong image given in the technology
in the media Islam is still spreading
because it is not the religion of paper
Islam is a way of life and let us never
forget that the prophet peace and
blessings be upon him told his
companions on that Arafat sermon that
those who are present should take this
message to those who are absent it is
the message of the belief in one God it
is the message that we should not be
involved in zul we should not be
involved in oppression of any type it is
also the message that there is no
preference of the white over the black
or the black over the white there is no
preference of the Arabs over the
non-arabs or the non Arabs over the
Arabs it is only that Consciousness that
piety in action that separates the
Believers that message was also the one
that said men have rights over women but
women also have rights over men it is
that message that has shown us that
there are two
Affairs there are two things if you
follow them you will never go astray and
that is the book of Allah and the Sunnah
of the Prophet Muhammad sallallah alai
wasallam the prophet peace be upon him
with these words and others sent his
followers to the four corners of the
earth and so Muslims up until today are
still spreading Islam not by force not
by conquering armies but by interaction
with other people that when The Message
of Islam becomes a reality when The
Message of Islam is in the life of the
individual it affects not only his
spiritual life it affects his material
life it affects not only his life in the
Masid it affects him
outside and so his business should be
Islamic he should be honest in his
business he should be honest in school
not even cheating on the
exams his mouth should be clean not only
the cleaning of woo of the of of the
parts of the body but his mouth should
be clean his eyes should be clean his
whole life should be clean and modesty
comes in his life modesty comes in her
life and the reality of Islam should
even influence his economic life that he
should try his best to stay away from
interest from usury and interest it
should affect his political life that he
doesn't become a slave of political
parties or
economic political gains but he be is
stays the slave of Allah subhana wa
taala surely the prophet Muhammad
sallallah alai wasam was shown the
expanses of this Earth he was shown the
mountains and the valleys and the rivers
he was shown the deserts and he informed
us that this message would spread to the
Far East and to the Far
West this is a great blessing to be part
of this umah this is a great blessing to
be part of the largest umah of any
Prophet on the day of
Resurrection but the blessing should not
stop with just being Muslim in
name but the true lesson is that with
the expansion as it was in the time of
the sahabah it was a living expansion of
Outreach that other people would be able
to accept this faith we pray that Allah
would help people throughout this planet
to see the beauty in Islam and would
also never let us go astray I leave you
with these thoughts I ask Allah to have
mercy upon me and
