i) The quality of excellence, humility, and prophetic character. The good, the better the best!
ii) The Prophet (ﷺ) remind us to focus on the Akhirah - Hereafter.
The eternal life, die as true believers, and keep our faith strong so our mosques do not close like empty churches.
iii) Recently in New Jersey fundraising - asked Remember who we are? How much you have to pay to come to the Masjid? How much we pay to go to the sporting event?
iv) As Believers, we don't want this to happen to us. Walking His Path and Strength the bonds of the Ummah. Rewards from Allah SWT. "So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me" (Surah al-Baqarah:152)
v) All sects - 23 million people perform the Pilgrimage! 95% are born Muslim - few like (the khatib/me) are the revert. The Prophet (ﷺ) said the best of my generation of humanity was his own generation, followed by the two generations that came immediately after them.
vi) About 40 million people, now identify as "dechurched" - stop going to the church. We don't want this to happen to us. Hence, Walking His Path and to

ix) Wide open the door to da'wah. Die as Muslim! Pro bono - for the public good. Who Benefits?
x) May Allah SWT forgives our shortcomings and incline us to do good, Ameen Ya Rabbal 'Alamin!
