Yasir Qadhi – The Adamic Rule & Reflections on the Capitol Riots

			The one died from COVID related he was the architect of the very structure that we are standing in
right now. He was the one who designed epic many years he was, you know, dedicated volunteer for
designing our community center for our masjid. And he also designed other massages in the Texas
area. And his death was actually followed by preceded by excuse me the death of his own wife a week
and a half ago. So both husband and wife they passed away from COVID during this timeframe, so we
ask Allah for the forgiveness of brother move the one and his wife as well. We also have our dear
brother and roasted salaried Sharif, who used to teach Quran after fajr a few remember a few months
		

			last year, and he was somebody who would be very active in our community. He returned to Jordan and
he passed away as well this week so we ask Allah azza wa jal to forgive him and to grant him for
those for all that he has done. And we also have sister Alia are one of our community members her
mother is sick and so in an ICU and she was requesting dua for her as well and as we make all of
these announcements I keep on telling myself and all the view that if we're not going to learn a
lesson then what are we going to learn a lesson when death is around us and sickness and disease
we're surrounded by this is the time to take advantage of our own lives for as long as we have it

			hamdulillah All praise is due to Allah Subhana Allah to Allah Who raised the heavens and created the
creation, He spread for the earth and beautified it with vegetation. And he gave us the cycle of the
night and day in perfect alternation. He sent down to us the Quran as his speech and revelation. And
he sent to us a prophet in whose belief is our salvation. So it is Allah and Allah alone we worship
unto him, we bow our heads and prostration as to what follows ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala has reminded us
to be conscious of him when he says in the Quran, yeah, you hola Dina. I'm an otaku Allahu Akbar to
quality. What are temotu Illa one two Muslim moon. Dear Muslims in surah Taha, verse 123, Allah
		

			subhanho wa Taala tells us that when our father Adam, and our mother Hawa were sent down to this
earth, Allah left them with one message. This is the last message that Allah gave when they were up
in the heavens. And Allah says, Allah hipbelt Amin had Jimmy and battledome they battled and I do
for him. Tn ko mini houden feminin Tebrau Houda further your little Lulu Yash or woman or Otto and
decree for in Allahumma Isha town banca we're not sure who Jamelia Matsuyama Allah said to them go
down to this earth you and Iblees will be enemies together. You will never you should never be
friends together. And then Allah says, Any time a message comes to you for me yet Dianna Kamini Huda
		

			guidance will come, messengers will come book shall be revealed. Tell your children this Oh, Adam,
oh children of Adam. Any time a messenger comes with a guidance, then no one simple rule. This is
the rule that Allah sent to our father Adam, when he sent him down to this earth. whoever follows My
Guidance shall never go astray, nor shall he ever faced destruction. And whoever turns away from my
guidance, shall live a miserable life, and shall be resurrected on the Day of Judgment blind. This
is the rule that Allah gave to the very first human beings as they came down to this earth. It is a
rule that every prophet preached, it is a rule that own prophet Sallallahu either he was seldom
		

			commanded, and it is a rule whose reality we taste in our own existence. Whoever follows Allah's
hedaya shall never go astray, nor shall they face destruction, and by destruction here, Shirakawa it
is the ultimate destruction of the punishment of L. Whoever follows Allah's guidance, whoever
follows the Houda they shall not go Dolan. What does that mean? What was the Cabal and for hada we
found you not knowing anything, and we told you how to worship Allah, the Real misguidance is to not
know why we are here to not have a purpose in life to have empty lives. So Allah says, When you
follow my hedaya, you shall be rightly guided, you shall know why you are here you will have a noble
		

			purpose of existence, and also you will be saved in the hereafter. But if we turn away from that
hedaya What is going to happen? That person shall live a miserable life, my Isha Tonka, and the word
bunk actually means narrow, constrained, restricted. Whoever turns away from my guidance shall live
a narrow life. What does that mean a narrower life. You see, even in English, we say, I'm feeling
something I have a pressure in my chest, something's wrong. Even in English, we say Oh, I can
breathe easy. The same expressions and metaphors are in Arabic, miserable life, narrow life,
constricted life what it means you will never taste the pleasure of this world. My Isha Tang Blanca.
		

			And in the Hereafter, you will face what you will have to face. You might have the outer illusions
of wealth and of blessings. But internally, your heart will be constricted internally your soul will
feel not
		

			At peace and at ease for India Lahoma Aisha tam Blanca. And this is an amazing facet of existence
that most Muslims do not fully comprehend. Many of us, we believe, if I choose the religion, and if
I choose religiosity, I must sacrifice this world and I will gain the next world. And that is
completely false. If we choose Allah, we gain this world and the next world. And if we reject Allah,
we lose this world and the next world. This is what this principle is teaching us. This is what the
first rule that Allah gave our father Adam is teaching us, whoever follows the hedaya in this world,
you will be rightly guided, and in the next world, you shall be saved, and whoever turns away from
		

			my hedaya In this world, you shall never be happy, and in the next world, you shall be punished.
This is the simple rule that to be honest, we don't even need the Quran to teach it to us, because
our existence and our experience teaches us this reality, when we have religion. When we have emaan.
When we have Taqwa life becomes much as bearable, but worth living. We can undertake any mission, we
can bear any pain, because we have a connection with Allah subhanho wa taala. The difficulties of
this world become easy for us. But when we don't have religion, and we don't have Iman, and we don't
have taqwa, then all of the pleasures of this world become meaningless and empty. We can have a full
		

			bank account. If we don't have Iman, our heart is empty. We can have all this world has to offer.
But if we don't have religion, there is an emptiness in the soul that is never going to be satisfied
by this world. And that is what Allah is saying, whoever follows My guidance, I will give you this
world and the next. But whoever turns away from my guidance, neither shall you get this world nor
shall you get the next this My dear brothers and sisters is the simple rule that our father Adam was
given, follow the guidance of Allah. And of course the primary guidance is the Quran, read the
Quran, learn from the lessons of our Prophet sallallahu idea he was sending them and you shall live
		

			good in this world and good in the next world. May Allah bless me and you with him through the
Quran. And May He make us of those who is vs. They understand and applies halal and haram throughout
our lifespan. I ask Allah's forgiveness, you as well ask him for years though before and the
Rockman.
		

			We praise Allah, the One and the unique Him do we worship and his aid do we seek, he aids the one in
distress and he gives strength to the weak, dear Muslims. In the last few days, we saw signs we saw
images that seared in our heads of mobs attacking our own capital. And we saw chaos and mayhem
fitting up and facade, the likes of which we were not accustomed to seeing in these lands. Again,
much can be said, and I was debating whether to mention this or not. But I feel very strongly about
this issue. And so our kuleana Adela, and we will see what this message will do, dear Muslims, as I
was scrolling through Facebook, and even listening to what others were saying, I saw some amongst us
		

			some who were, in some sense, rebelling, maybe even gloating about this reality that they are
seeing. They expressed a sense of happiness, about seeing the chaos and the fitna and the facade.
And you know, the fact of the matter, we can understand why certain segments are so angry at the
reality of this nation inland. There is no doubt and I have said this numerous times that our
country has a dark side, it has an underbelly that we don't like to think about, it has a history of
having a lot of negatives as well, how the indigenous people of this land were treated and
decimated, how millions of people were brought over from Africa and treated and how their
		

			descendants are still being treated. We have plenty to criticize when it comes to foreign foreign
invasions, when it comes to foreign policy when it comes to fall asleep when it comes to Guantanamo
and the list goes on and on and on. Let this not be assumed that I am exonerating much less
defending that dark underbelly but I want to make a point here that might not be popular. I say
loudly and clearly.
		

			that it is neither healthy nor Islamic, to gloat over a tragedy of this nature. This is not an
exoneration of the evil that has happened in the name of and by this country that we live in. No, it
is a reminder of who we are not of who others might be. It is a reminder of our religion of our
principles. It is a reminder of what we are here to do. We are not here to wreak vengeance, we are
not here to have a tit for tat, we have a goal and a purpose. And that goal and that purpose is
nittaku Shuhada, than us to be a witness unto mankind. Is it really healthy for us to harbor such
negativity about the very land that we live in? Is this the way forward? And I say this at the
		

			beginning of this year, because dear Muslims, it is very likely that we're going to see a lot more
such things happening if you understand what is going on. In all likelihood, this was not the first
nor there's going to be the last. So what is going to be our attitude as this calamity precipitates?
Are we going to be in the sidelines cheering? Or are we going to understand that neither is that
healthy nor Islamic? In the end of the day, this is our land. These are our peoples, despite all the
negativity that is happening. And if we learn anything from the Sierra Wallahi, how can we read the
incident of Thor if over and over and over again, since we were children, we were taught the
		

			incident of thought if and yet when something like this happens, we turn our backs to the tragedy of
life. And we don't learn anything from the lessons of thought if should we want destruction for our
people? Or should we want hedaya and grammar? That is the question I'm asking you. It's a very
unpopular question. It's a blunt question. It's a wrong question. But it needs to be asked, What is
your goal for being here? What is your purpose for having come to this land and benefited from all
the benefits? Because in the end of the day, let's be honest here, almost all of us have come and
benefited immensely. That's why we are here or our fathers came before us. Is this the Islamic
		

			attitude? No doubt, there's much to criticize, no doubt, we're angry about 1,000,001 things. But in
the end of the day, what we want is not destruction. We want hedaya We want compassion. We want
Allah's blessings to come down. So all I'm asking for in this second part of the hope but all I'm
asking for is a reevaluation of our attitudes of our paradigm of our framework. How do we view the
people around us? How do we view these incidents taking place? Should we not be at the forefront?
Using this as a teaching moment? Yes, Wallahi, we can talk about the hypocrisy and double standards.
We all know that if a person in a in a beard and another flag were in the capital, what would
		

			happen? We all know if people have a darker skin color, we're doing what they did, what would
happen. This is the time to use as a teaching moment. This is the time where we need to display
leadership and not hatred, compassion, and not bigotry. This is what we are here for dear Muslims,
and will lie and distrust me to find so many amongst us online and what not to have a sense of
gloating and happiness about the reality of what is happening. Do we not realize that the
destruction of these lands is a destruction of our own family and friends, is the destruction of
where we are. A man came to the prophets and the leader of one of the tribes of dos and he said O
		

			Messenger of Allah, my tribe has rejected me and my tribe is an evil tribe make dua to Allah to
destroy them. The Profit System that made up he raised his hands and the people became happy that he
thought they would make dua for the destruction. He said, Oh Allah, guide those to Islam, oh Allah
guide the tribe of those to Islam, Oh Allah, guide them to Islam and bring them to Islam and
SubhanAllah. Within a few weeks, the tribe of DOS embraced Islam and came to Medina embracing Islam,
even though one of its own leaders, one of its own Muslim leaders came to Medina and he said, O
Messenger of Allah, My people are evil, My people are bad, make dua to Allah to destroy them. That's
		

			what he wanted. Because it's only natural, you feel extra angry. Do you not think we understand I
understand Guantanamo is still open. Our blood shouldn't be boiling the foreign invasions of Iraq
and Afghanistan, of course, we speak out. But that does not mean we want destruction. That does not
mean that we pray for the annihilation of very, very people we live amongst, it means that we
channel that anger and we temper it with the compassion of our religion with the lessons of our
Syrah, and we then become productive members role model people that we demonstrate what is it mean
to be Muslim? What is it mean to be leaders of religion in a land where religion is becoming lost?
		

			That's what we should use this opportunity for. This is not an exoneration of the past crimes of
this line. It is a call for reflection about who we are
		

			As a Muslim civilization living in this land and our priorities and our paradigm, let us learn from
the Sierra. Indeed what is happening is tragic and there's much to criticize, but our role our goal
is not just to destroy it's not to annihilate. Our role is to be role models, to guide people to the
beautiful religion, to explain to them why we are here and to tell them about the Message of Our
Lord and the life of our prophets. Allah Allahu Allah, he was seldom that should be our paradigm. So
let us reflect upon that and use this as a teaching moment. And indeed Allah subhana wa Taala is the
one who guides to the straight path Allah who many died for aminu. Allahu Allah that I feel how to
