ID#: 1396 Sep 21 : Houston : Here at Your Service, Oh Allah

Asalam alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh!

Wedding invites. Birthday invites. Dinner invites. Dawats. So many invites. The usual. 

But wait…

Did you hear that? 

It’s a call. A call that we do not want to miss. Put everything down. Listen close.

He’s calling you.

He’s inviting you. This invite is not like any other you will ever have in life. 

Do you feel it? Do you feel that urgency to respond? The desire burning deep inside for you to be able to respond to His call. 

A way is made for you by non-other than Him. You've been dreaming about this for so long. 

“Call out to people with the pilgrimage. They will come to you on foot and on every transport, they will come from every deep enclosure. ”
-Surat Al Hājj (The Pilgrimage), Ayah 27.

Labayk Allahuma Labayk Labayk. La shareeka laka Labayk. Innal hamda wannimata laka wal mulk. La shareeka Lak 

“Here I am at your service, oh Lord, here I am - here I am. No partner do you have. Here I am. Truly, the praise and the favor are yours, and the dominion. No partner do you have.)”

You get to chant this with another 2 million people all around you and all around the world. Everyone is pulled to one spot like a magnet. All differences is put aside. The unity and love for our Lord shines from within us. 

Hajj, one of the five pillars of islam, is a journey we must make at least once in our life if we are able to. It holds such significance. There, we’re walking in the same places as our beloved Rasul and his sahabah use to walk. There are sites there that remain unchanged from the time of the Prophet. Hajj allows us to not only fulfill our muslim duties, but also emphasizes our being part of one ummah. The benefits and hidden wisdoms of Hajj are many. It’s amazing “how we spend so much money (and for many, this is truly a once in a life-time journey) in our efforts to come and make either Hajj or Umrah. Yet, we arrive in these lands with little if no knowledge of what is required…”

Join Sheikh Joe Bradford on Saturday, September 21st, at 2pm at Masjid Hamza as he discusses the most anticipated invite to the greatest, largest annual gathering on earth with a life changing spiritual experience! Come learn all about Hajj and let your heart yearn for this invite.

May Allah swt all give us the opportunity to accept such a wonderful invitation.
