What was recited in the, the first rakai

00:00:02 --> 00:00:03

was from,

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06

the chapter of Maida, and it was speaking

00:00:06 --> 00:00:07

about particularly

00:00:07 --> 00:00:10

when Musa was ordered to go back into

00:00:10 --> 00:00:10

Palestine,

00:00:13 --> 00:00:13

with his

00:00:14 --> 00:00:16

the people with him was ordered to go

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

go go back into Palestine after it was

00:00:18 --> 00:00:21

conquered by those that were from Egypt. And,

00:00:22 --> 00:00:22

he

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

I'll recite the verses, and then I'll mention

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

the portion. When

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

Musa said to his people, remember the blessings

00:00:33 --> 00:00:34

of Allah upon

00:00:35 --> 00:00:36

you. When he's made you

00:00:37 --> 00:00:38

and made you kings.

00:00:41 --> 00:00:43

He's given you what has not given to

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

any people from the before.

00:00:48 --> 00:00:51

Oh my people, enter the holy land that

00:00:51 --> 00:00:52

has been written for you.

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

And do not turn on your heels for

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

verily you will be of the losers. And

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

this is so important of what's going on

00:01:00 --> 00:01:00

now.

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

Do not turn on your heels

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07

for you will be of the losers. Do

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

not turn your backs. Do not be afraid.

00:01:10 --> 00:01:10

Hallelujah

00:01:12 --> 00:01:15

Musa Oh Musa, there are some treacherous people

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

overpowered Jabbar Jabbar

00:01:19 --> 00:01:20

and we will never enter.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

And we will not enter until they leave.

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

When they if they leave it, then we

00:01:28 --> 00:01:29

will enter.

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30

Then 2 men said

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

There were 2 people

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

that were from amongst them. They said, enter

00:01:38 --> 00:01:39

the bath. Enter.

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44

And if you were to enter it, then

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

you would be of those

00:01:46 --> 00:01:47

that would be,

00:01:47 --> 00:01:50

I wanna get the correct translation here. If

00:01:50 --> 00:01:51

you were to enter it, then you would

00:01:51 --> 00:01:52

be of the victors.

00:01:53 --> 00:01:54

And then he says

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59

meaning, and that's where that and upon Allah

00:01:59 --> 00:02:00

be of those that trust in him.

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

So right now, I was yesterday with a

00:02:03 --> 00:02:07

brother that his brother is from the Valorares

00:02:07 --> 00:02:09

community, and he's trapped in Rafa. Y'all probably

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

heard. There's people that are trapped in Rafa.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

There was a sister that sent me a

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

message a couple of about a week ago,

00:02:14 --> 00:02:17

and she asked if our community, ICC,

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19

the youth could write letters. I don't know

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

if y'all saw it or received that. So

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

the youth could write letters to those in

00:02:23 --> 00:02:23

Gaza.

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

So this sister, she sent me a text

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

yesterday, and I put it on the WhatsApp

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

group. She is trapped in Gaza as well.

00:02:30 --> 00:02:31

Okay? So they're trapped in

00:02:32 --> 00:02:34

Gaza. So you're hearing from these people and,

00:02:34 --> 00:02:36

you know, when hearing from the brother that's

00:02:36 --> 00:02:37

trapped in there, the brother that I was

00:02:37 --> 00:02:38

with yesterday,

00:02:39 --> 00:02:39

he was saying this,

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

He himself went as well. Some of you

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

know Mahmoud

00:02:43 --> 00:02:46

in in Valley Ranch. He's there now. He's

00:02:46 --> 00:02:47

trapped. His brother,

00:02:47 --> 00:02:48

I was with yesterday,

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51

he was there and he left before this

00:02:51 --> 00:02:53

happened in Rafa, border. And he was saying,

00:02:53 --> 00:02:54

SubhanAllah,

00:02:55 --> 00:02:56

you know, we've heard so many times that

00:02:56 --> 00:02:58

we've learned a lot from the people of

00:02:58 --> 00:02:59

Gaza, but he said, subhanallah,

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

they're calling me. He said, particularly, there's this

00:03:01 --> 00:03:04

one imam, imam, Abdullah, per for, you know

00:03:04 --> 00:03:06

he said the the mulsallah is like the

00:03:06 --> 00:03:07

room of our audio center,

00:03:08 --> 00:03:09

and it's packed.

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

And this subdulah, he knows he's he's well

00:03:12 --> 00:03:14

versed in the Quran. He knows the Qur'an.

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

He's well versed in the Quran,

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18

and he leads the people. But he says,

00:03:18 --> 00:03:20

as soon as you leave the Musa Allah,

00:03:22 --> 00:03:23

it's just

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

he said they aim for their legs. I'll

00:03:27 --> 00:03:28

tell you that much. When they aim for

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

the the women in particular, they aim for

00:03:30 --> 00:03:30

their legs.

00:03:31 --> 00:03:32

He said, so when you're seeing a lot

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

of them, they're legless, and there's this one

00:03:35 --> 00:03:36

body parts out here. It's just.

00:03:38 --> 00:03:39

So when leaving for them,

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41

you're seeing all of this mayhem. You're seeing

00:03:41 --> 00:03:43

all of this. And he said something

00:03:43 --> 00:03:45

which I heard from a a young girl

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

in a video. He said it's good if

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49

we hear the whistling of the bomb of

00:03:49 --> 00:03:50

the drones.

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

He said we feel safe when we hear

00:03:52 --> 00:03:53

the whistling of the drones.

00:03:54 --> 00:03:55

Why do you think that is?

00:03:56 --> 00:03:58

Because if they hear it, they know it's

00:03:58 --> 00:03:59

not gonna affect they know it's not gonna

00:03:59 --> 00:04:00

hit them because if it was hit you,

00:04:00 --> 00:04:01

you wouldn't hear it.

00:04:02 --> 00:04:03

So he said, when we hear it, we

00:04:03 --> 00:04:04

feel they feel they feel a sense of

00:04:04 --> 00:04:06

security at the moment.

00:04:06 --> 00:04:07

So he says,

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

that was the best time of my life

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

and the worst time of my life.

00:04:13 --> 00:04:16

The best time of his life because he

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

saw all the ayaats and the hadith in

00:04:18 --> 00:04:18

action.

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

Right? And he was there. He was a

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23

nurse. He was helping people.

00:04:23 --> 00:04:26

I mean, he never would have anticipated that

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28

this would be in this situation. But in

00:04:28 --> 00:04:29

the worst time of his life because he's

00:04:29 --> 00:04:30

seeing that he's leaving

00:04:31 --> 00:04:33

this and that the the situation that the

00:04:33 --> 00:04:35

people are in. So when I recite this

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

last portion of the words, wild of life,

00:04:38 --> 00:04:39

and for Allah

00:04:39 --> 00:04:41

trust in him if you are truly of

00:04:41 --> 00:04:41

the believers,

00:04:43 --> 00:04:44

which is beautiful.

00:04:44 --> 00:04:46

Trust in him. Only the ones that are

00:04:46 --> 00:04:47

trusting him are the ones that are the

00:04:47 --> 00:04:48

believers.

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

So if you're a believer,

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52

you will have this. If not, there won't

00:04:52 --> 00:04:55

be. So when seeing as he was mentioning

00:04:55 --> 00:04:58

the brothers and sisters there, they're trusting Allah

00:04:58 --> 00:05:01

and there's absolutely nothing. And at any moment,

00:05:01 --> 00:05:02

you know, they don't know what can happen.

00:05:03 --> 00:05:04

But their ultimate trust in Allah

00:05:05 --> 00:05:07

is what these two men told the people

00:05:07 --> 00:05:08

that were afraid to go into,

00:05:10 --> 00:05:12

Palestine at that time when Moses ordered them.

00:05:13 --> 00:05:14

We see that the trust in the law

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17

is is very, very important for us here.

00:05:17 --> 00:05:20

But when seeing the manifestation of their trust,

00:05:21 --> 00:05:23

it's amazing. You know? I just remember the

00:05:23 --> 00:05:24

video. Some of y'all saw the man trapped

00:05:24 --> 00:05:26

in rubble, and he was praying in the

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28

rubble. I mean, you you don't know what's

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

going to happen at that moment.

00:05:30 --> 00:05:32

So this is but this is a normal

00:05:32 --> 00:05:34

story for them over there. When we see

00:05:34 --> 00:05:36

it, it's by the that a camera was

00:05:36 --> 00:05:38

put on it, and we just get a

00:05:38 --> 00:05:39

glimpse of what is normal

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

over there. So may

00:05:42 --> 00:05:43

Allah make us of those that and we

00:05:43 --> 00:05:45

have our ultimate trust in him. And, you

00:05:45 --> 00:05:46

know, when we pray,

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

whether it's in our sujood or whether it's

00:05:49 --> 00:05:50

in our cars and our way to work,

00:05:50 --> 00:05:52

when we're thinking about them, we're thinking about

00:05:52 --> 00:05:54

life in general, that we make dua for

00:05:54 --> 00:05:57

them, sincere dua that Allah protects their iman,

00:05:57 --> 00:06:00

protects their faith, and their trust in him.
