Working Unity
we need a collective working unity amongst Muslims. Yes there are differences.
When you feel the heat of evil around you, turn to Allah subhanaw taala increase your event,
then you will be fulfilling the message of Allah
smilla rahmanir rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil alameen wa sallahu wa sallam modified to Milan via he will mostly say either Mohammed when he was Sufi hedge my Baba, I begin with the greeting words of the righteous. Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullah and surah, Ali Emraan, verse 186, Allah has revealed, you shall certainly be tried and tested in your wealth and properties, and in your personal selves. And you shall certainly hear much that will grieve you, from those who received the scriptures before you and from those who associate partners with Allah.
But if you persevere patiently
and have the consciousness of Allah, Fear Allah and hope, in the mercy of Allah, then verily, that will be a determining factor in all of this.
And so we seek refuge in the words of the Creator of the heavens and the earth.
In South Africa,
we have been living also on the frontlines.
Disease is ravaging our lands, poverty, is still taking a tremendous toll on the people.
And recently,
I was surprised to read in a BBC article, BBC Africa,
the July to September edition. The article was called God, gospel and the dollar.
And I was surprised to see how straightforward they were.
In dealing with the African continent. The article stated, Africa is being colonized and christianized all over again. It showed that 1000s of missionaries who are even affecting foreign policy in major Western countries are pouring into the African continent.
A Ghanaian born head of the New York based African Development Institute, Kwame O'Connell.
He stated, this is not so much a colonizing of land, as it is a colonizing of the mind.
It is a mental attack, Sharon pumpelly, of the Southern Baptist Convention. She spoke straightforward. And they put it in the article. The evangelicals, greatest opponent in Africa, is not tradition. It is Islam.
Africa, she says, is a spiritual battlefield.
And so the focus shows us that what is happening around us, and I did to take this a step further, not only in Africa, all over the planet. It is a spiritual battle, a battle for the souls. It is a mental battle that has different forms, different manifestations in different parts of the planet.
Why would they consider Islam the enemy?
When we look on the African continent in much of the world, we find spiritually people are confused.
Man worship is on the rise. Magic, the Sahara magicians are rising up in all countries in different forms.
There is a spiritual vacuum, but Allah subhanaw taala has given us a yaka. Naboo do what he can to stay straightforward. You alone a lot do we worship and from you alone do we seek help? Islam is not an attack. It is life giving and for us
In the southern region, and in many parts of the world, we see clearly, people transforming in front of our eyes. It is a life giving
way.
In the economic sphere,
the system of usury and interests is killing us. The * of the bankers,
the inequalities of the rich and the poor. This poverty is stripping human beings of dignity.
And we see it harsh poverty. And we're hearing now about Niger, and Mali, millions of Muslims starving to death.
And you have to realize that for many people, the bottom line is not the fact that I'm wearing a turban. The bottom line is that Islam is life giving an interest free system that would liberate this planet.
In the social sphere, alcohol, gambling, it's killing us. Drugs are ravaging all of our communities go to the younger generation.
See what the problem is that they are facing. And people who cannot take the pressure are resorting to drugs.
Islam is a life giving way to take a person out of a drug habit, to take a person out of addiction to gambling to purify their life. This is not the enemy. This is the Savior of humanity.
In areas of health, we have seen with our eyes, the life giving virtues of Islam. In some parts of the southern region, one in every three people is HIV positive, one in three.
But when a person takes to Hala, purification into their life, purifies their belief purifies their body, purifies their home, purifies their sexual relationships. They have a shield against the scourge of HIV AIDS. Islam is life giving. And we have seen in Uganda,
that at one point had the highest percentage of people who are HIV positive, the Muslims took the lead implemented Islam.
And they were able to lower the percentage of HIV faster than anybody else on the face of the planet Earth, Islam.
In the family, it is the last hope for the family.
In Canada, I just returned and the people in all the religious communities are reeling with the passing of a bill called C 38. This is the same * bill that is passed with two men or two women in a relationship would get all of the protection all of the rights of a married couple. And people are in a state of confusion.
But Islam is life giving, and that it clearly shows that a man is a man and a woman is a woman.
It is life giving.
And it is the only hope. For the savior of the family. On a political sphere, we have the potential to bring to people a system where the politician is the most trustworthy person in the community. Today, it's the opposite of you said john, or Ali has become a politician. In most parts of the world, it means he's a crook.
He'll say one thing before the election and do something after the election. But the Islamic system is the rule of Allah subhanaw taala and not the rule of manmade systems. It is the rule that frees us from the limitations of our thinking, and the weaknesses inside of ourselves. But we have to deal with our reality. Somebody has to practice Islam. And I say this to the younger generation. After traveling for years in the Muslim communities, and feeling the frustration of people entering in Islam and young people. Our numbers are so great. Our wealth is so great. We have standing armies, we have intellectuals. So why are we still feeling degradation and humiliation? Why are we still
suffering in the way
We suffer.
We cry for change. But we have to look inside of ourselves. We are facing not only anti Islam, the anti Islam propaganda, but what we call counter Islam. And that is where Muslims practice something else in the name of Islam. And sometimes they're the biggest obstacle in the spread of this message. And so we cry for change. We cry for Islamic State, we cry for economics, we cry for leadership, but Allah has told us in the law, how are you how are you Rama be comin? Have you heard Omar be unfussy him, Allah will not change the condition of a people till they change that which is in themselves. No change. We need to make Toba
collectively, up until now.
We still have amongst us those who judge another person based on their color
or based on their tribe.
He wants to get married. He comes to the family and they say which village did you come from? Or they may even say which part of the village did you come from? Did you come from the hill or down by the river?
She wants to get married and they say oh, Is she pretty? Is she light and bright? I'm telling you the truth. tribalism is nothing it's filled. The prophet SAW Selim spoke about it as a filthy corruption.
And if we want to be successful, take it out of your heart.
Don't judge another person based on their color.
Don't judge based on a tribe or a language. It is the deen it is the taqwa that is what separates us one from another. We need to make Toba up until now.
We don't treat the new Muslims properly. people accept Islam, and we embrace that person. Mashallah we embrace them. Everybody hugs them, the masjid lines up, and then they finish this standing alone. I'll see you next Friday. He's alone. And she's alone. They gave up in some cases, their family, their traditions, they were supposed to be coming into Dar Al Islam into the abode of peace. It is our duty. If there are no Muslims who don't understand the faith, we are accountable for this.
If there are problems, economic problems, social problems, psychological problems, we need to set up institutions to prepare people to deal with the new Muslims. After all, why are we here in the UK?
Do you think it is by chance? Are you here because you're slaves of the colonial system. And now you're trying to get hot and cold water?
Are you here because of the shopping mall?
We are here to stand up for this faith. It promised to Dean and to get this message across to the people. We need to make repentance. We're not relating to the younger generation. How many people understand about drugs? You understand why a person takes drugs? Do you know what gang banging is?
Do you know why a person joins a gang?
Do you know the collective group feeling? You know the feeling of courage that many young people are looking for in our masjids the young people want action. And we need to have action oriented programs and to make our masjids relevant to the youth to put us in leadership positions Alhamdulillah for this conference Alhamdulillah for the age of the people who are here, may Allah bless you and make you the leaders of this world.
We have to make repentance to Allah.
Figures came to us about the marriage situation.
One in 15 families are divorced. It's not only the non Muslims, it's hitting a community. What happens to a woman who is divorced,
who has to take care of her? What happens to her children? Is there a stigma
that is put onto the woman?
We still oppress the sisters. We talk about liberation. We bring the ayat and the Ahadi, but we need to empower Muslim women Alhamdulillah for the sisters who spoke out Alhamdulillah we need to empower Muslim women within Allah subhanho wa Taala how do we go about this?
I'll leave you with seven points.
Number one,
collective Toba? What Takara Bella, under this pressure, we need to come close to Allah subhanaw taala when you feel the heat of evil around you, turn to Allah subhanaw taala increase your event,
increase your sadaqa increase your remembrance of Allah subhanaw taala put the name of Allah on your lips all during the day.
Come closer in the Sunnah, put Islam into your life come closer to Allah, because Allah has power over all things. And if the crowd gets big, if they put fear in our hearts, we say what Allah said, has fun Allah when
Allah is the one who will take account of us and ultimately Allah is the best to protect. So we need to come close to Allah subhanaw taala and repent, to
working unity. We need a collective working unity amongst Muslims. Alliance already united us, we have the same faith.
If we focus on the main issues, we're all the same.
The minor issue if there's an issue in food or a minor issue, then you give nnessee ha give advice to your brother and sister. If they disagree make do Ah, but don't scandalize another Muslim, don't attack the honor of another Muslim. So we've already been united, we've been united and a badger in worship.
And so we need a broad working base. We have differences in our methodology. But when it comes to Muslims, if Muslims are under attack, all of us need to stand shoulder to shoulder drop your differences and come together in the shorter then you will be fulfilling the message of Allah. How can I say this? One of the great Sahaba geria even Abdullah Well, the other one, he said by a surah Salalah alayhi salatu salam, Allah, a common salaat what he taught is a kept oneness. liquidly Muslim.
He said, I took the day I took the pledge to the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him to establish prayers to establish a sangha and to give advice and sincerity and support to every Muslim. He didn't say Muslim Arabi.
He didn't say a Qureshi, Muslim, and Arab Muslim, American Muslim. He said Lee Cooley Muslim, so already united. So we need to come together
in a working coalition.
Number three, we need to empower Muslim women in the leadership
Alhamdulillah for this conference, but I'm tired of conferences where they say there's a special section for the women and you will have a special conference, what is the topic? The topic is Islamic cooking, what is the latest samosa? Let the sister study to heat study Tafseer study Heidi, study everything the brothers are studying and you will find in many cases, they will come with conclusions that are closer to the truth than ours.
We need to focus on the younger generation provide halau alternatives. Hello halau alternatives for 21st century lifestyle, recreation,
sports, career development, we need to have a practical program to get the youth involved and to help them to make decisions. So they're not caught up by drug dealers or gangsters. Number five, we need to continue to be aware of the crises of the Muslim world and actively involve ourselves in standing up for the Muslims anywhere on this planet.
We are all part of one oma and we need to at least raise our voice.
At least stand up wherever we can. Number six, a special emphasis on a Dhow
outreach. It needs to be part of our program. Now is the time. If the people are confused about Islam, take it out to them. Take the court and to the
People we have started a program discover the court and we want 200,000. Court ants will take it out to the people a translation in the English language or whatever is the language. Take it to the people that understand what Islam is, before it is too late. There's no more profits to come. If you're waiting for a magette did or the Maha de, only Allah knows when he will appear. And number seven relevancy,
relevant solutions to the problems of society. We need Islamic solution to HIV AIDS, racism, drug abuse, polytheism, atheism, sexual perversion, we have the solutions, we are holding gems of wisdom.
And we cannot allow fear to stop us to go forward in the time of the Prophet peace be upon him. When the battle got hot, when the enemy was close, when fear was there, the Muslims didn't run away, they ran toward the enemy. We need to go forward, living Islam.
Live Islam shows the people what this message is about. In conclusion,
we are living in times of deception.
Our name is being distorted.
Our beloved CT n is under attack.
And it seems like it's becoming a profession
to distort things about Islam. Anything that happens?
A plane crashed in Toronto, Canada recently, because of the weather. Was it a bomb? Was it a terrorist?
Everything is a terrorist who's a terrorist.
It is a time of deception.
But I say to the liars, I say to the liars.
What the Prophet peace and blessings be upon him set and his time a man in the middle of Arabia
name was salema
he wrote a letter to the messenger peace be upon him and he said from Hussein Lima, the Messenger of Allah to Mohammed, the Messenger of Allah. You take one part of Arabia, and I'll take the other part.
The prophet SAW some of them wrote back, min Muhammad Rasulullah alayhi salatu salam, ala Hussain Lima, Al Khattab
to musei Lima the great liar.
What did the Prophet peace be upon him said
and we say it again today. In this world this is not a political struggle.
Allah azza wa jal will decide. And the Prophet peace be upon him said in the law he used to Harmon Yasha Abadi will RP botulinum toxin, this earth belongs to Allah and He will give it to whom he pleases from his worship is and the best reward. The ultimate success
is for those who have Taqwa, those who have the consciousness of Allah. I leave you with these words. akula Kali howdah Rostock, Fulani walakum wa salaamu alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
Given an interest free system that would liberate this planet.
