Bless those who struggled and strove from the very beginning through the generations to learn the goodness, to put it into practice and to convey it to others in a way that today we are seated here in order to listen to this goodness.

My beloved brothers and sisters, I am overjoyed to be with you once again in such a beautiful environment.

And Allah has bestowed upon us the most beautiful of weather.

And Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala has indeed given us this opportunity and He will ask us about how we have used these opportunities.

Before I actually go ahead with my points to ponder insha'Allah, I would like to make mention of what happened the last time in Ghana.

Not because I was upset, I was never upset. That is a misnotion. I was so delighted that I came back quicker than I've been back to other countries.

I was so delighted because I had so many brothers and sisters who were so warm and welcoming.

And indeed the fear at the same time was that I have a responsibility unto my Maker. Just like you have a responsibility unto your Maker, it is the message that will last up to the end and up to Kiyama.

Whether I carry it or someone else carries it, Allah that is the choice of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.

So we always glorify the message of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.

But not necessarily the person who has brought it because unless it is Muhammad, Salallahu alayhi wa sallam, indeed he is the greatest of creation.

And the most noble of all prophets of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala as for us, we are mere mortals.

We are human beings, we are equals. In fact, we may not know, I may even be worse than all of you put together, may Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala grant us genital victims.

So therefore, here is my responsibility to make mention of this when I saw so much of excitement that I felt perhaps, perhaps it is a test for me.

And therefore, if you notice, I cut my talk and I made mention of this fear of mine and I promised myself and I asked Allah, O Allah, bring me back to these lovely people so that I can complete what I wanted to tell them by the will of Allah.

He has brought me back.

So this is something that I felt I needed to clarify because some brothers, some sisters thought perhaps I was upset, me, I was not upset, not at all.

In fact, I am super delighted again to be with you, may Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala bless us all, I mean.

My brothers and sisters, don't we want to be the best, the best of our communities, the best of the Muslim, the best of the people?

Wouldn't we like to be the best? Imagine if the prophets, Allah, O Allah, O Allah, were to tell us that such and such a person is the best of the people.

And we happen to fit into that description, would it not be an honor? SubhanAllah.
