Al-Ala, we send blessings and salutations upon Muhammad.

Abdullah al-Alahi wa Sallam, his household, his companions.

May Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala bless them all.

And may he bless every one of you.

May he bless our offspring those who come up to the end.

And may Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, grant us steadfastness.

My brothers and sisters in Islam, today I have a very simple message.

The question that I have for myself, firstly,

Who am I? And why am I here? So every one of us needs to ask ourselves, who am I? And why am I here?

I am a human being. A human is ashraful makhulukat, the most noble of the rest of the creatures of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

Allah says in Surat-u-Teen, lakad al-Khalaqon al-Insanafi ahsani takawim.

We have created mankind in the best of postures. No other creature of Allah has a better posture than ours.

The nose, the eyes, the ears, the mouth, the fingers, the nails, the hands, the elbows, the knees.

Everything is placed in such a way that none of us, no matter how hard we try, can think up a better place to put those organs.

Think about it, your hair. Where would you like your beard to be? The best place is here. Where would you like your eyes to be?

The best place is here. That's Allah's challenge. Allah tells you I have made it the best, which means man, you can't play with what I have done.

Try, try to think you will not be able to come up with something better.

Number one, number two Allah says, wala qad al-Khalaqon al-Nabani ahsani.

Indeed, we have honoured human beings. We have honoured the children of Adam, which means the human beings.

So the first human was Adam alaihi salam. Allah created him.

The second human was Hawa alaihi salatu wa salam. Allah created her in a slightly different way, but she was also created by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
