Where the Prophet's Allah, who has said close to the end of time, time will crumple and

and you know a year will seem like perhaps a month, a month, perhaps like a week, a week, perhaps like a day and so on.

So this is something that we feel. I feel it because the year has passed so quickly. I vividly recall last Ramadan.

We had restrictions due to the coronavirus and in fact,

I want to start off by addressing the issue of the coronavirus. I've had messages from lots of people in India saying that please pray for us because there are many

cases and many deaths and there is a lot happening. People are frightened. People are struggling with anxiety. My brothers and sisters, if you test positive, it's not the end of the world.

No need to panic. Inshallah, take it in your stride. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will open your doors. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will make it easy for you. Allah will grant you shifa.

Allah will grant you shifa. That's one thing you need to remember. So it's not the end of the world. If you test positive, you need to know that

very few people would actually then die as a result. But you must make sure that you have taken your medication. I for one actually

especially if I've been out and I come back, I like to do the steaming. SubhanAllah because it's very important that we take care of our health.

We have an issue when it comes to taking precautions. Some people say that if you're taking precautions, your iman is weak, that is nonsense. SubhanAllah.

We're taught to take precautions. SubhanAllah. And we must make sure that we take these precautions because it is part and parcel of our duty unto Allah.

So yes, this is live. Actually, I'm watching the comments and in fact the connection from Zimbabwe is terrible. I think we do have some of the worst internet perhaps.

And I normally don't like to go live anymore because of that. SubhanAllah. No, it's not pre-recorded. Someone saying it's pre-recorded there. It's actually a live session.

So my brothers and sisters speaking about the coronavirus, people are saying the numbers are increasing especially in India and in some other countries.

May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala make it easy for all of you wherever you are.

You know, we are in the month of Ramadan, people are actually going to the masjid which is a good thing. I have been to the masjid. I've been leading the salah. I've been delivering lectures but we have been taking some level of precautions.

So we do put on the mask wherever we can and at the same time we also tie our best to keep a little bit of a distance between ourselves and we don't shake hands and hug and embrace. We also use a sanitizer.

Now, I know there are people who are saying so much about it. You can't do this. You're a Muslim. Where is your belief in Allah? All this is part and parcel of belief in Allah SubhanAllah Wa Ta'ala.

So many people are being affected. Not only about dying, it's also about your health being affected negatively. Long term, people are actually being affected in such a way that they don't know what's hit them and some people have so many different effects that are lingering after they have been cured of this virus.

So we ask Allah to help us all. Remember, while we are excited, while we are excited about the masjid being open, the lockdowns being lifted and so on, remember to be responsible. Just be a little responsible.
