00:00:05 --> 00:00:07
			My dear brothers and sisters in Islam
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:12
			now, for about two weeks,
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			the Muslims around the world
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			feel the pain
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			of the announcement
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			that Jerusalem l coats
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			will soon be
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			the capital of what is called Israel.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:43
			And time and time again, we see the enemies of Islam
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			who attack the Muslims
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50
			trying to take alkaloids from the Muslim in
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			and we ask ourselves
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			why is
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:04
			why is Jerusalem so important to the oma of Islam?
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12
			when he described for us in the Quran,
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:52
			the land of baited mcnelis of Jerusalem of Palestine in his 80s areas, Allah subhanho wa Taala
called it out the mocha desert, the Holy Land. Allah subhanho wa Taala described it as being a lead
of Baraka sapan and lead the SRB AB de la laminal menstrual haraam ll measure that up saw a lady
bharatnet hola who supernal law the one who has sinned it with his servant from Mecca Mashallah
haram to administer that up saw that we have blessed it's surrounding areas a place of Baraka,
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:58
			the place that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:05
			When he went there, he led the other mbls in the prayer and ascended there to the heavens to Allah
subhana wa Taala.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			One of the only messages
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:27
			that were allowed to travel to visit as Muslims as it was narrated by Al Bukhari and Sahih Muslim
led to shoot the Rehan do not travel to visit except for three massages. The measure them Hello, I'm
in Mecca, and the motion of the prophets that Allahu Allah He was Selim and it must be that
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:32
			this was the first Kibler that the Muslims ever prayed to.
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:52
			At any time in Mecca, the Muslims used to face baiting muchness they would face inputs when they
would pray, and for 16 or 17 months, as it was narrated and slain behind in Sahih Muslim when they
move to Medina, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the companions also faced beaten up this
		
00:02:54 --> 00:03:07
			the great reward for praying in this Masjid it's very famous that it's 500 salats. But perhaps the
more authentic narration is 250 and some narrations 1000, perhaps the most authentic is 250.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:15
			Nonetheless, the scholars all agree of the great reward of traveling to pray in these great
messages.
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:24
			One of the only four messages that the digital will not be able to enter, as it was confirmed and
narrated in the Muslim Imam.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:53
			We know that he can't enter Mecca and Medina. But in the Hadith, which came in the Muslim female,
Mohammed is in for messages, that the jail will not be able to enter the Muslim and Mecca and the
measure of the prophets that Allahu Allah he was selling them. And the merchant of abou Where's
where Allah subhana wa, tada spoke to musante salaam, and I'll mess them up. So these are the four
messages at the jail will not be able to enter. And because of this,
		
00:03:54 --> 00:04:12
			this high status that it has in our religion, it's something that's very, very important to us. It's
something that is from either from our belief or something that we're not going to roll over and
just let happen and humbler every time that the enemies of Islam
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:23
			took the measure the lab saw or tried in the last panel what Allah sent someone to take it back from
this oma and a law will send again from this oma who will take it back in these days, inshallah
Tada.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:48
			What's important, my dear brothers and sisters, is that we don't sit around what happens now all the
time in the days we live in, is we want to play the blame game. We want to blame other people, other
countries for what's going on with emotional upset and what is important, and what is really
significant is that each of us
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:55
			take some time and reflect and ask himself What is my role
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			because we're very good at blaming others.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:19
			They should be doing this. And this one should be doing that. And they shouldn't be doing that. And
if it was like this, it would be like that. What about you? What about me? What is our role? And
this is very important. If we want to be victorious as oma, when it comes to elevated up this when
it comes to outputs.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:28
			It's not just about the role of certain governments. We're always blaming this government or that
governments.
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:40
			We need to realize some things. First of all, the people who are ruling How did they get there?
Through the people through us.
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:47
			So if we're oppressors, they're most likely those who rule us are going to be oppressors as well.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:59
			We'll get that he can only Baba volley Mina Baba. Allah made it clear that we will make those who
are the oppressors and the wrongdoers will make them allies to one another.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:18
			What do they do to deserve this be my counter Yahtzee boon with that which they earned that was
their doing. We have to look at our actions. Before we look at the actions of others and blame
others. We know the principle that the Quran teaches us in the law allow you to might be a foreman
had
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:25
			to see him a lot doesn't change the situation of the people until they change the situation of
themselves. First.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:30
			We're sitting around blaming others for what's going on, what are we doing?
		
00:06:31 --> 00:06:41
			What's our roll? This is what we need to ask ourselves first. Because I can't go to the top and make
changes. I don't have that ability and either Do any of you.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:51
			We can advise. We This is how it should be. But the one thing that I can change is myself is my
family.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:55
			Those close to me we can make changes there.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:19
			It's important that in our own households, that outputs is part of our DNA that our children, our
families understand inputs, even as some of the scholars said hanging pictures in our in our house,
and letting our children know of the importance of something might seem small, so I'm gonna be a
nice decoration, but it has meaning behind that picture.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:28
			This is our Masjid. This is where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam ascended to the heavens.
This is where he led the NBN prayer.
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:33
			The great reward the great place to put Lisa Baraka, the Holy Land, this is it.
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			This needs to be part of our DNA.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:47
			And we need to never forget because this is what the enemies want. They want us not really to make a
big deal about it. To kind of forget it. Tell us what happened happened. Tell us what can we do
about it.
		
00:07:48 --> 00:08:02
			And when they made this move, how do they make the move, they made it certain individuals, certain
leaders didn't care about their thoughts and that's when they made the move. But when the people
that oma stands up and Alhamdulillah
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:10
			many people we've heard of those, some from governments from individuals who have come out and
spoken against this will hamdulillah
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:28
			and it's something that we will never accept as Muslims. This is the land that Allah subhana wa tada
gave to the Muslims. And we will continue in shallow tada to be the rulers of imports in shallow
Tada. But each one of us has to step up and do what he can do.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:39
			And we look at the issue of being victorious as an omen. When it comes to all of our offense, it
goes back to certain principles.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			Allah subhanho wa Taala made it clear to us in the Quran.
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:56
			What kind of help and Allah knows to remove meaning. Allah subhana wa Taala said that it's incumbent
upon Allah tala was the fourth element meaning
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:05
			meaning and meaning. alleles add on their tongues only
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:08
			are the ones you see the man in action
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:27
			when our Eman is in our hearts and then on our tongues and it shows up in our actions. That's what
I'm also panna wattana is going to support us and make us victorious. When we support the deen of
Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah has promised us that he will support us
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:42
			yeah, you alladhina amanu in Tanzania law young circum with a bit of demo. Oh, you have believed
support a law and a law will support you and He will make your feet firm.
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:53
			That's when we're going to prevail when we support the religion of Allah subhana wa Tada. The
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam made it very clear, crystal clear. And the
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			How do you think it was narrated in Sudan who
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			when the Prophet said alone while he was
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:41
			lm mentioned different distractions from the dunion like being involved in the business transaction
of an arena which is a haram way of buying and selling, and that we're distracted by following our
candles and our agriculture, distracted all different affairs of the dunya This is our main concern,
and that we leave fighting and struggling in the path of Allah subhanho wa Taala what happens when
we get involved in this? The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said sudden local law who alikum
bulan that a law will put a humility upon you he will humiliate you and this is the situation of the
oma
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:48
			what is the pure how do we get out of this situation that when then he said lay out
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:58
			uncle tells you really didn't come along without raise this humiliation from amongst you are from
upon you until you return to your religion.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:14
			This is the only way and that starts My dear brothers and sisters with us. Not always waiting for
the others to do it. So I say if this ruler or that ruler, or this individual or this country or
that country, if they start to do it, they will do it
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:33
			doesn't make sense start with yourself. It all starts within with ourselves. Once we start as
individuals and then the hair spreads and the oma starts to return to their Deen so panela as a
Muslim now, my mocha descent my holy sites are being attacked
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:53
			or being taken from me in front of my own eyes. And I'm just gonna wait for somebody else at least
I'm going to be a good Muslim within myself. So you know what? This is because our the new our sins
is because we've turned away from Allah subhanho wa Taala therefore, what I can do myself, I can
return to my Deen and practice my Deen and myself into my family
		
00:11:54 --> 00:12:01
			and inshallah Tada. That's the domino effect. It starts with one individual then two within three
until the oma returns and shoveled Tana.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:16
			If we want the support from Allah subhana wa Tada. We want to be victorious. We need to know what is
the objective? Is it just that we have a foot and we say it's ours, or what is the objective of
having it
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:20
			and one of the most difficult times
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:39
			that the oma went through when the slowly been the Crusaders when they came and they took Britain
muchness for around 90 years, and they killed 1000s and 1000s of the Muslims slaughtered them. The
blood went through the streets of inputs
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:44
			until the loss of power what's Allah sent from this oma
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:54
			and 583 from the higit off so la sala de la la UB Rahim, Allah tala. He entered
		
00:12:55 --> 00:13:22
			on a Friday on Juma what was the first thing that he did? And I want you to pay attention to what I
just said a minute ago. What is the Hadith? What is the objective of having a foot for the oma? The
first thing he did? From the first things he did after he cleaned up the area and he removed the
crosses, they made the event and they made the establishment of Salatu Juma the Juma prayer after 90
years when it was forbidden.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:47
			Allah Dina and McKenna who fill out a form of Salah was the cat Amaro Bill maroof. Wonder why
mooncup warilla people to remove those if we give them the establishment, they give them the
authority upon Earth, the law makes it clear and this is what do they do? They establish the prayer.
They give the Zakat
		
00:13:48 --> 00:14:09
			and they call to that which is good. And they forbid that which is evil, and to a law returns all of
the affairs. This is the objective by establishing the deen of Allah subhanho wa Taala once baked in
love this comes back to the Muslim and this is the objective not just to have it to say it's ours.
That but to establish the religion there and upon the earth. This is the objective of the Muslim.
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:15
			We want the most apana wattana. to support us.
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:20
			We have to realize some of the things that we need
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:25
			some of the tools that's going to help us be victorious
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:38
			and the AI and throttle and fan. Allah subhanho wa Taala shows us three of the key objectives three
of the key things or the three tools that will help us be victorious as an omen.
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:42
			Well, I'll do law water Sula, who the first thing
		
00:14:43 --> 00:15:00
			the most important thing, obey Allah and His Messenger solo hunters to obey a law and to obey His
Messenger. The second thing while acting as though and do not differ amongst yourself, not disputes
and
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:11
			what's meant by this difference? The difference? Not do I pray like this or you pray like this? No,
it's not what we're talking about. We're talking about issues. We're talking about the difference
that makes us separate one another.
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:14
			We go into different groups,
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:17
			this group, that group, my group, your group,
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:20
			this is what alosa panel ATOL is talking about.
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:23
			Don't defer amongst yourselves.
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:35
			What happens what's the result of this different alone makes it very, very clear in the eye, and
reflect on the situation of the oma today, when the losses will add to nasm for dev Shalu, what
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:57
			you will lose your courage The first thing and then you will lose your strength, you will lose your
courage and then you will lose your strength. This is the reality of the oma because we differ
amongst ourselves. And most of the things there, I said taffy, it's it's it's little things that
don't really mean much and we make it big things went wrong.
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:02
			And even if we do differ, even if the differences have meaning,
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:49
			they're important to the differences. We don't let it separate us, we still remain brothers. And
this was the way of the Sahaba or the Allahu anhu when they different. And then also part of what
Allah told us at the end of the verse was to be rooted in the law amasau theory and to be patient
and do laws with the patient ones. Always the true believer. He believes he acts upon his Deen, but
he has patient. He has patience. He doesn't let his anger and what he sees happening to the oma to
do how long things in order to make the oma prevail. As we've seen many groups in this this
understanding my dear brothers and sisters, the ones who went astray who fell into extremism they
		
00:16:49 --> 00:17:27
			had there was Dennis for the dean. They want to good for the dean. But they didn't follow the
teachings of the Quran and the Sunnah when you have to have the patience. You have to have the
patience until you have the strength. Don't do that which is haram. That was not permissible
thinking you're going to help the dean because in the DNA of Islam, the ends do not justify the
means. The ends do not justify the means. If it's done by a halal or haram way, then that is
something that's not permissible for the Muslim to act upon. Even if he thinks he's going to support
his Deen barakallahu li walakum for animals sooner when if anyone can be my female mentor, it will
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:30
			hikma Apolo Foley hada was stuck.
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			In
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:40
			Bismillah Hua katha wa Salatu was Salam O Allah nebia Mustafa,
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			my dear brothers and sisters in Islam,
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:49
			it should come as no surprise to us.
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:55
			What is happening when it comes to a beaten up this also panelists Allah
		
00:17:56 --> 00:18:11
			and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they make everything very, very clear to us in the
Quran, the sooner it's upon us to go back and to look into the Quran and to look into the teachings
of our beloved Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And you'll find that it's all laid out, it's all
clear.
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:28
			The enemies of Islam, you think you're just going to leave us alone made it clear No, for an
voluntold angelia, who do well and no sora had to be a Mullah to him, that the Christians and the
Jews, they will never be pleased with you until you follow their religion.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:42
			This is a loss of I know what I know what he's saying to us. So you think they're going to be
pleased with us and let things slide without us alone or your party? No, no come had to do command
Dino communists, they will continue to fight you
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:49
			and to kill you, until they make you leave your religion if they have the ability to do so this is
what it was telling us. And
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:52
			we shouldn't be surprised.
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:59
			In fact, it's fair to say that what's happening now with el coche, we deserve it.
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:27
			We deserve it. Because of our own actions of what we are doing, and what we are not doing as
Muslims. And this is very important. We go back to what we said in the beginning in the first
cookbook about the blame game, stop blaming others and look at your own self. What can I do? What
can I do in my family, this is what we need to focus on. And this will want to take home with us
today from this whole book. Now just to remind ourselves of the importance of inputs
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:32
			Alhamdulillah we know that the food is going to come back to us in China.
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:38
			What's important is how long is it going to take and what are we going to do and when we support the
oma
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:59
			and we support Allah subhanho wa Taala and the religion of a law. We remind ourselves that even
though everybody believes the Messiah will come at the end all of the religions that the true
believers, the momineen have something that the cavalry in the desert
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			Believers don't have
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:45
			that he can be unknown law her mole and Latina armor no one will care for you Rena lamb Allah, Allah
Whoa. That is because the believers have a law as their supporter and the cavalry in the
disbelievers don't have any support. Yeah, you know, in some sort of law young circle. Oh, you
believe if you support a law, a law will support you. My dear brothers and sisters as we go home
today, as we said, The objective is to reflect on our own situations and to make positive change
instead of blaming others for what's going on and realize that all of us have a role and what's
happening to the oma today to metamora human level a common aloha phenomena can be Mr. Bobby Venus
