وَلَا عُدْوَانَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ الظَّالِمِينَ وَأَشْهَدُ وَأَن لَا
إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاحْتَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ
أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰ
آلِهِ وَأَصْحَابِهِ وَمَنْ دَعَى بِدَعْوَةِهِ وَاسْتَنَّ بِسُنَّةِ إِلَى
يَوْمِ الدِّينِ وَسَلَّمْ تَسْلِيمًا كَثِيرًا أما بعد فَوْسِيكُمْ
وَنَفْسِي بِالتَّقْوَةِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَالسَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ
وَيَقُولَ الْحَقِّ سُبْحَانَهُ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمُنَتْ تَقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِ
وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ All praise are
due to Allah, Lord of the Worlds And
surely the best reward ultimately is for those
who have Taqwa And surely there is no
animosity except for the oppressor And I bear
witness that Allah is One and has no
partners And that Muhammad, the son of Abdullah,
is his servant and his last messenger May
Allah always, constantly send peace and blessings to
Muhammad To his family and his companions and
all those who call to his way And
establish his Sunnah to the Day of Judgment
As to what follows, I begin by cautioning
myself and you Of the critical importance of
the consciousness of Allah That Taqwa Allah Azza
wa Jal should be the main quality in
our consciousness The main source of light to
take us through the darkness of this world
And Allah Azza wa Jal has revealed in
his mighty book In the third chapter, Surah
Ali Imran Allah has revealed, O you who
believe, fear Allah in the way he should
be feared And do not die except as
Muslims When this verse was revealed, verse 103
It was difficult on the Sahaba, it was
like a weight on their back How could
they fear Allah in this way?
How could they have the consciousness of Allah?
How is that possible?
And Allah was merciful and revealed in Surah
Taghabun So fear Allah, have the consciousness of
Allah to the best of your abilities So
the companions understood that this verse, it was
not out of their sight But when it
was combined with the revelation It told them,
that you should fear Allah in the way
he should be feared To the best of
your ability And so that is for all
of us The key issue is that we
are trying our best It is a confusing
world It is a difficult situation that we
find ourselves in But make the effort and
make sure that you are always trying your
best To have the consciousness of Allah, to
fear Allah, to hope in the mercy of
Allah The second part of this verse is
critical for us today as well And that
is that you should not die, try not
to die except as Muslims The bottom line
with Allah SWT is Islam It is that
we submit to Allah, we start with our
Shahada, we end with Shahada If not with
our lips, but the Shahada would be with
our lives And so the bottom line with
Allah SWT is Islam The bottom line for
people too and our relationships with people is
Islam It may appear to be other things
It may appear to be ideology It may
appear to be ethnicity It may appear to
be nationality But the bottom line is our
submission to the creator of the heavens and
the earth Recently we have witnessed Alhamdulillah The
great victory of the Syrian people To overthrow
the terrible tyrant Bashar al-Assad Alhamdulillah and
this is a day of joy in Damascus
now And throughout that region people are celebrating
now This terrible blanket of evil that has
been lifted off of them But surprisingly enough
many of the left leaning liberal commentators Even
those who claim to be supporting Palestine They
change their colors Maybe it was too much
Islam Too many beards Too much Hijab Too
much Takbir But we saw people change their
positions And it seems strange but when the
bottom line is Islam It can be understood
They stereotype the Syrian people That they are
extremists That they are murderers But even the
Palestinians Alhamdulillah in Gaza celebrated this Because by
this victory it gave hope to them It
is giving hope to oppressed Muslims and people
all around the world If the Syrian people
are able to overthrow this dictator Then Inshallah
there is hope for Gaza There is hope
for the Sudan There is hope for the
Rohingya There is hope for the Uighur people
in China So Subhanallah give the Syrian people
a chance Think positively about this change that
has gone on Make dua for them and
all the oppressed people Who are in a
transition period Over 50 years of brutal rule
In the civil war alone 580,000 plus
people were killed 306,000 people non-combatants
These numbers are hard to even come to
grips with The terrible dungeons which are now
being exposed It is hard to come to
grips with the struggle that Muslims went through
Half of the population of 23 million people
were displaced Over 6.3 Syrian refugees since
the start of the civil war in 2011
And so now, now is a breakthrough And
so we need in all ways with our
dua, with our wealth With our political pressure
Support the rebuilding and development of Syria Support
justice for all in Syria That is the
Islamic way Because the Prophet ﷺ with the
Medina constitution Allowed minority groups to live in
Medina This is the messenger of Allah And
he allowed other religions to live in peace
Under the justice of Islam But at the
same time We must never forget With all
this fanfare and all this chatter that is
going on In the social media Never forget
what is happening in Gaza and Philistine We
can never forget what is happening in the
Sudan That there has to be an end
to the war Never forget what is happening
to the innocent people in the Muslim world
Different parts But the followers of Dajjal, the
liar Will use their distortions To keep our
minds off the track To get us confused,
especially the younger generation And the brilliant Palestinian
historian Who brought the key point to how
they cause lies and confusion Five D's Keep
these in your mind whenever you are seeing
the media And what is going on in
the world Number one, dishonesty There is still
dishonesty that is going on Dishonesty with what
is happening in Gaza Ethnic cleansing is continuing
Genocide is continuing, it's not stopping Two, distortion
Distortion of numbers Distortion of realities on the
ground Number three, denial They will deny what
they are doing With a straight face Number
four, diversion When something is happening positive Especially
for Islam and Muslims Make a diversion Even
Syria to try to use this as a
diversion And number seven, or number five, delusion
Number four, diversion And number five, delusion That
they will even sink into their delusion of
confusion In the lives that they are living
in But the light of Allah SWT is
coming to the surface A long struggle But
we are in a sensitive time right now
I remember being on the minbar in the
masjid In Tariq Mosque It was just after
the fall of Kabul The Russian troops were
leaving We cried, it was a victory But
the question is What happens What happens after
the victory The hearts of the people couldn't
come together Division came in And even though
the enemies had gone A division happened which
caused a further confusion And so this is
a very sensitive time But think positive about
our people Think positive, make dua, show support
And realize that this is a victory directly
from Allah SWT The battle that is going
on within us Within society is a battle
for the hearts Is a battle for the
hearts Because many times the victories are not
decided by weapons They are decided by the
hearts of the people And the Prophet SAW
said in an authentic hadith That
in the body there is a lump of
flesh If this lump of flesh is corrupted
The whole body is corrupted And if it
is sound and good The whole body is
good and that is the heart So there
is a serious struggle That is happening right
now A battle for the hearts And this
battle sometimes is open Sometimes it's secret Sometimes
it's in plain sight And the battle is
going on many different fronts One of the
key battles that is happening That many people
are not aware of Is the battle for
the children It's the battle for the younger
generation Because the younger generation they will live
in the future What is their understanding of
themselves?
What is their understanding of the world?
We have to become aware of what is
happening around us Right now we are in
the middle of the winter solstice For those
newcomers who have come here It is the
darkest, dreariest days possible in these lands This
is the solstice You are in the middle
of the winter in the northern lands And
historically the peoples of Europe and the north
Had celebrations They wanted to do something They
wanted to enjoy themselves somehow To forget what
is happening with the change of the weather
The Greeks had the Bacchanalia For the pagan
god Bacchus The god of wine The Romans
had Saturnalia For Saturn In the middle of
Europe the feast of the twelve nights This
is what is happening around you We thought
it was gone We thought that materialism and
atheism would take the way But it is
now being brought back in a cultural way
In order to gain the minds of the
younger generation And it is a serious thing
The trees themselves The Christmas trees that are
happening Santa Claus This is supposed to be
a Christian holiday now But if you say
to the average person Christmas What do you
think of?
They will say Santa Claus They will not
say Isa Alayhi Salam And this is serious
Because even a Muslim came A Muslim mother
came And told us she was struggling with
her child The child said Santa is real
She believes in Santa Claus She believes in
these things that are happening It is a
lie It is part of the deception And
being used by the followers of Dajjal To
take our children off the path When we
are in a sensitive time The whole Muslim
world is about to change Even some of
our foolish Muslim leaders Have big Christmas trees
in the Emirates and in their countries And
put it in their schools for their children
Not realizing what is happening As we are
fighting for Tawhid We are struggling for liberation
And your child is singing Christmas carols One
of these carols goes like this Listen closely
The child is saying about Santa Claus He
knows when you are sleeping He knows when
you are awake He knows if you have
been good or bad So be good for
goodness sake Who is this?
This is like a God So in the
mind If the child's mind That this individual
Is like a God who knows everything What
about Allah SWT?
This is a way to take their minds
off the path In this very dangerous time
The reality is That Christmas itself In 1647
It was banned In England By the Puritan
Parliament It was banned Because Christmas was a
demon Who came from Germany His image is
a demonic image In Germany But Muslim will
say That has nothing to do with me
That has nothing to do with me I
am a Muslim And I will get a
tree I won't get up for a tree
I will get a date palm tree I
will do sunnah You know what happened with
the tree?
It is reported After the opening of Mecca
The Hawazin tribes Threatened the Muslims And so
the Prophet With the new Muslims Who had
accepted Islam In Mecca They moved toward a
valley Called Hunain And on the way They
came to this tree It is a Nabak
tree And the Mushrikeen Used to hang their
weapons On the tree They hung their weapons
On this tree In order to get blessings
From the tree And they said To the
Prophet Make A tree for us Like they
have a tree The Prophet responded You say
like the people of Musa Make a god
as they have A god You are an
ignorant people His face became red He was
angry At this and he said You are
following The ways Of those who came before
you And so he recognized The critical nature
Of culture That there is a battle that
goes on Not just a physical battle There
is a cultural battle Our understanding Has to
deal with all Aspects of life Alhamdulillah Allah
subhana wa ta'ala has given us Some
light with the great victory of Syria And
we can only pray That Allah azawajal Would
strengthen the Syrian people Strengthen the Mujahideen Strengthen
and unite the ranks And protect the innocent
people In Syria, make them an example For
the whole Muslim world An example for those
who doubt The justice of Islam May Allah
put justice in their hearts And protect them
from all the plots And plans that are
going on And raise up more people Who
will give us victories Like Syria all over
the Muslim world Allah
