A word from the Shaykh regarding the reminder of Allah's blessings and His facilitation for performing the obligatory acts of Hajj.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment.
As for what follows:
We apologize to you for the delay, as one of the brothers kept us on the phone with someone whose call could not be cut off. Therefore, in this session, we will limit ourselves to reminding you of the blessing of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) upon the pilgrims and those performing 'Umrah this year. The conditions were very suitable, and the people had some organization in the tawaf, sa'y, and stoning of the pillars, so much good was achieved, praise be to Allah. We ask Allah the Exalted to accept from everyone.
We also remind you that this is the last session of this year. How quickly the days and hours pass, swiftly ending all together. This obliges the servant to remember that every coming thing is near. While we were saying, "How far away the end of the year is," it ended quickly. So it is with life as well; a person now awaits death and thinks it is far away, but he does not know; perhaps it is near. Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) said:
People ask you concerning the Hour. Say," Knowledge of it is only with Allah. And what may make you perceive? Perhaps the Hour is near." يَسْأَلُكَ النَّاسُ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ قُلْ إِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ السَّاعَةَ تَكُونُ قَرِيباً
[Al-Ahzab 33:63]
O brothers, it is obligatory for a person to account for himself: what has he deposited in the year in which only two days remain? And with what does he meet the years that follow, so that he is fully prepared to make up for what he missed in the past year and to seek forgiveness and pardon for the evil deeds he committed? The Book will be presented to the servant on the Day of Resurrection, and he will meet it spread out, and it will be said to him:
[It will be said], "Read your record. Sufficient is yourself against you this Day as accountant." اقْرَأْ كِتَابَكَ كَفَى بِنَفْسِكَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكَ حَسِيباً
[Al-Isra 17:14]
Account for yourself before you are accounted for, and seek help from Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) to perform His obedience and avoid His prohibitions. Then, we will devote the remaining time to questions, as it may be more beneficial in this session. We will start from the right, and each person has one question.
