We commence by praising Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, sending complete blessings and salutations upon Muhammad Salallahu alayhi wa barakatuh.

We commence by praising Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, sending complete blessings and salutations upon Muhammad Salallahu alayhi wa barakatuh.

We ask Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to bless him and his entire household and we ask Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to bless all his companions, those who gave their lives.

Those who were told that theirs is paradise, but that did not make them arrogant.

Rather, they still sacrifice their lives in a way that today the Dean is with us.

May Allah bless them and may Allah unite us with all of them in paradise.

And we ask Allah to bless also those in the chain of scholars of this Dean who have come down from that time to our time,

who have struggled in various ways in order to preserve the Dean protected convey to others.

And we ask Allah to make us from the same.

Brothers and sisters, it is something serious.

This Dean is a gift that Allah has bestowed upon us. Ask yourself, why is life so short?

Why is life the longest from amongst us, meaning the one who has lived the longest from amongst us, would not exceed 100 years in most cases?

Why is it such?

And these years are calculated through these hours that are so short, the minutes that the Hadith describes where Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam says towards Kiyama,

time will be crumpled, Yatatara Abu Zaman, time will be crumpled in a way that the year will pass as a month,

the month will pass as a week, and the week will pass as a day, and the day will pass as an hour.

That is where we are today.

You would clearly remember two, three years ago, as though it was yesterday.

May Allah SWT protect us. Why is life so short?

It is because this is not the prime aim, and this is not what Allah has actually planned for us

as an eternal abode. No, he has another place that he has made, and he wants us to earn it.
