Abdur-Raheem McCarthy – Thank you France! – Abdur Raheem McCarthy

			Salam aleikum. Wa Rahmatullah. Thank you, France. And I know a lot of Muslims, when they see this
title, they're going to be upset, but hear me out until the end. We're going to no doubt that when
we see them degrading, and insulting our beloved Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that we're
going to become upset and we're not going to like this. But as I was reflecting on what's happening,
I was writing down some things. I remember the verse in Surah Nisa, where the Lord said for as TEPCO
who che and while you're gentle, Allahu fi, he laid on cathedra, that perhaps you dislike something,
but Allah puts a lot of good in it. And the verse when Allah said William karuna, William Quran law
		

			well, more hohiro mascarene that they plan and a law plans and Allah is the best of planners. In
reality, what have they done, they've revived the love that the Muslims have, because every Muslim
has in his heart, a tremendous love and respect for our beloved Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,
but because of our insha, Allah dunya that we've been so attached to the dunya we've drifted away
from our deen, that love has been buried under the ashes, but it's still there, somebody left. But
when they attacked our beloved Prophet alayhi salatu salam, they reignited that love and that fire
in our hearts for the love that we have for our beloved Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam. So as
		

			Muslims, how should we respond in our fight against France? And I say, yes, our fight, because now
as Muslims, we're going to fight all are going to throw a single punch, and we're not going to shoot
a single bullet, we're going to defeat them and fight against them with something even more
powerful. And I believe there's four things that we need to focus on as Muslims, and how we respond
against France and in defending our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. But before I mentioned
those four things, there's also four points that I want to mention here as an introduction, the
first thing is, as Muslims, a lot of times when we've become upset this happened in the history in
		

			the past, when people made the films about our Prophet citizen, that no one ever heard of the
Muslims became enraged, and they're the ones who spread the film around. And then non Muslims came
to see, oh, it's 13 million views now. So what does this film about and they come and watch the
films as well. So these pictures that they are spreading, degrading our beloved prophet dataset to a
celeb, it's not permissible for us to spread it evil or angry, you can talk about it on social media
like I'm doing now. You can write about it, but never ever share such pictures. And you're not just
committing a sin by spreading out these pictures, you're also helping them in their narrative. The
		

			second point is France, in who is France, France has been one of the main enemies of Islam and the
Muslims throughout history. Look at what they did to the Algerian people in the genocide and all of
the other countries in Africa and around the world where they slaughtered millions of Muslims. And
then they have the audacity to talk about freedom of choice and freedom of speech. The same country
when the gun the president of Turkey, talked about McCrone about their president, they immediately
pulled their ambassador from Turkey whereas freedom of speech Now, clearly it's freedom of speech
for them, but not for us as Muslims. Allah shows us the reality of these individuals on the Quran.
		

			He said subhanho wa taala. A BETTER DEAL Bob Bowman, FYI him that the hatred has come clear in their
speech and on their tongues. What is even greater than that one man, two views who do room Akbar,
the hatred that's in their hearts is even more what we're seeing on their tongues is only the tip of
the iceberg. The third thing is for us to understand as Muslims, why do the enemies of Islam
constantly do this? Why are they attacking Islam and the Muslims? What do they really want from us?
Once again, the answer comes from Allah in the Quran in surah Nisa, what do you know, take for Runa
Kanaka for who for the coolness? They want you to disbelieve, just as they've disbelieved so that
		

			you will be equal, but why? And another verse in Surah Baqarah Allah says, What the heck if you
don't mean a heel kita below you do know coming by the Imani come coo Farah, that many of the people
of the book they wish that they could send you back and make you disbelievers once again after your
email after you believe why has said a minute Indian foresee him out of envy and jealousy that they
have in their hearts. And another verse in Surah Baqarah wala is Luna you are the Luna come Hatter,
you do Command Dini, co Minister borrow, that they will continue to fight you until they make you
leave your religion if they can do so. In in yet another verse in Surah Baqarah a very important
		

			principle that we always must understand what Allah told us, what then Toba Angelia who do Allah
nassarawa had that Debbie Amyl letter whom that the Christians and the Jews they will never be
pleased with you no matter what you do. They will never be pleased with you until you follow their
religion. The fourth point is that no matter what they say about our beloved prophet Cyril
		

			All while he was selling in reality, they can never harm him. Allah has made it clear in the Quran
or a foreigner like a vicarage that we have raised your status, the status of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam is so high, that a low life like McCrone or any of these evil people who slander
our beloved Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that they can never harm him. Throughout history, we
see this the enemies of our beloved Prophet alayhi salatu salam, what did they say about his
companions about the Sahaba of the Allahu Anhu. They said, We've never seen someone nursing a group
of people who will love their leader who loved the leader, as much as they love Mohammed Ali Salatu
		

			was Salam. In the historians throughout history, they said this about the followers, those who
follow Islam who follow the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam that no one has more love and more
respect for their prophet and their leader than the Muslims do for Mohammed Ali Salatu was Salam. In
surah Nahal, Allah said inac, Athena again, was Dezign, that we are sufficient for you against those
who mock you. And in Surah tilma, the one law who he asked him to come in a nurse that Allah will
protect you from the people. So no matter what they say about our beloved Prophet, alayhi salatu
salam, it's only going to increase our certainty and increase our love for Him and actually is going
		

			to call Muslims back to hold firm to his son and to act upon his sunnah to implement in their lives.
And that's why I said in the beginning, bear with me when I say thank you friends, because what
they've done, even though it's something we don't accept, it's something that we reject is something
that we stand up against, at the same time that hamdulillah is brought many of the Muslims back to
love and to follow the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam even more than they used to. So in
reality, they've made millions of Muslims around the world, better Muslims we have grown away and
Quran Allah will law who here you will make it in and they plan in a law plans, and Allah is the
		

			best of planners. Now the four things that we need to do as muslims, in order to support and to
defend our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the most important thing hands down is for us to
adhere and to follow his sunnah. There is no response that's stronger than for them to see millions
of Muslims around the world now adhering and practicing and following the way of Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi wasallam we see the signs all around the world, Mohammed, our idol, Muhammad, our honor, and
the only way to make him truly our idol on our honor is for us to follow him and sort of Al Imran
Allah said Olin continue to hipbone Allah, say if you truly love a law, that Debbie Rooney, then
		

			follow me follow Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, what happens in return when you implement
that command? You people come on more welcome, Daniel Denuvo, calm, then Allah will love you, and He
will forgive your sense. And if we believe and we honor and we support and we follow the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, it's not just something that's mandatory upon us as Muslims, it's our
way to success and sorrows and out of Allah says about the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, Valentina Ahmed OBE, so those who believe in him was the rule, and they honor him. One also
true, and they support him, whatever, who know really the only dilemma and they follow the light,
		

			the light of guidance, they follow the light that was sit down with him. Hula eco who will move li
Hoon, those are the ones who will be successful. So once again, thank you, France for reviving this
in the hearts of millions of Muslims around the world. The second issue is boycotting France, and
French products. And this is something that has been proven in the past that it works. And that's
why the French Foreign Affairs send out messages. You know, please don't boycott us because they
know the impact of millions of Muslims around the world, boycott them, they know how it's going to
harm them and harm their economy. There's many elements to boycotting, we obviously know what we
		

			hear about boycotting the products, not buying any more French products. Yes, that might be the main
thing. But there's other other aspects as well. For example, those Muslims around the world who
always go for tourism to France, no more tourism, we x France in the map, and we never go back for
tourism. Again. The students who are sent most of them by their governments to study in France, we
stopped studying we leave even though even if you have a scholarship, because most governments
around the world unfortunately don't have the courage to stand up and say, You know what, we're
gonna boycott France. We're gonna take out all of our students, we're going to send them to another
		

			country, but you as a Muslim, you have the ability to say, You know what, even if I have a paid
scholarship, my profit at acela to Islam is more important to me. And I'm not going to study in
France, I'll transfer I'll pay for my own fees and another country which have respect for me as a
Muslim and have respect for my beloved Prophet alayhi salatu salam, and any other thing that you can
think about that we can do to boycott France, if you have some other ideas, mentioned them in the
comments below so all of us can benefit from them in shallow Tyla. Something very important we talk
about boycotting the products because I remember before when he came to Denmark, people came out in
		

			the street with their cheese and their milk and all of this and they set it on fire.
		

			This is nonsense, my dear brothers and sisters when you boycott something, and if you have something
French in your house now, I'm not going to take my machine that's, that's my Mullenix machine or
whatever it is and, and break it because it's French. So that's you're wasting your own money and
you're harming yourself. But if I'm gonna buy something that future I'm gonna buy something other
than a French product, but destroying the things that we already have and burning things. That's
something that's not acceptable. It's actually haram in Islam. We're talking about future purchases,
that we don't buy anything from France. And don't listen to the people who say, Oh, it's not going
		

			to do anything if you do it, or he does it. If we all come together, millions of Muslims around
what's going to be huge impact. And don't forget that the Western governments when they have
problems with certain any other governments with Iran, or when they had before with Sudan, with
Syria even before why did they put the embargoes on these countries, because they know the disciple
boycott and these embargoes, they know the impact that it has on them, not saying that these are
good countries in themselves, because in reality, France might even be better than them. But that's
the point even like they have now with North Korea, that they realized that these type of embargoes
		

			and these boycotts, they actually work, otherwise they wouldn't be doing it themselves. The third
thing is that we benefit from this opportunity to give Dawa Yes, this opportunity gives our call the
Muslim your Muslim brothers and sisters call them back to Islam. See this now? They're attacking our
beloved provinces and don't just go out on the streets with signs. Let's implement a sunnah. Let's
come back to following his way of life in for a non Muslim friends, colleagues, neighbors, that we
teach them who was Mohammed who was the prophet muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, why would why
are the Muslims so angry when people degrade him because it goes against the reality of who he was
		

			in his biography. Here is a copy of his biography. Here's a book about whom Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, here's a link, here's a video that we teach non Muslims, who was Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, one of the most amazing initiatives we had in the past was the
exhibitions that we had about our beloved Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And now this is an
amazing opportunity for us in the West and non Muslim countries, for us to establish such
exhibitions, perhaps it might be more difficult with the corona panic pandemic, but nonetheless,
it's still possible in the streets, or you can rent certain places. So whatever we can do, whatever
		

			it depends on the country, you're in, make an exhibition about the profit that a salon to salon and
teach the non Muslims who was the ally, salatu salam. And we're going to see that non Muslims, once
they truly learn who Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was that they're going to be one of two
people, some of them might accept Islam, they will become Muslims when they see the beauty of his
biography. And that's going to be a lot. So once again, we say thank you, France for that. Also, the
second category are going to be those who are going to understand and even if they don't become
Muslim, they're going to have a respect. And they're not going to tolerate the Prophet Allah to some
		

			being disrespected or being degraded, as we see time and time again, in the Western media in the
news. The fourth and final thing that I believe we need to focus on, is strengthening our ties with
our local governments, whether you're in a Muslim country, and Hamdulillah, in many Muslim
countries, starting with Kuwait, and Turkey and Pakistan, they have very good stances other ones,
and it's unfortunately, it's a shame that they haven't spoken out. But if we have, we can influence
those we know people in the government, we can sit down and talk about the importance of having a
stance and standing up against this, because it's not just about friends. It's about anyone else who
		

			dares to degrade our profit ally, salatu salam for those of us who live in non Muslim countries. And
it's very important that we point out that not all French people are evil, just because their
government is evil doesn't mean that they're evil. There's a lot of good people in France. And not
all Western governments are evil just because the French government is evil. We live in Ireland and
the Irish government is very fair, and they treat us very good as Muslims, even in America, who most
Muslims around the world seem to be the big bad wolf. They also have a lot of good. Not all of them
are equal. If you look, for example, when it came to the French ban against the niqab, the best
		

			official response I heard from a government speaking about the ban came from the White House. And as
Muslims in America, even though we face challenges, it's nothing like France, where the French you
know, the government has taken away our basic rights to practice our religion. So we can sit down
with our local politicians, they can speak out on on a national level, they might speak out on
social media, all of this and Chautala will have a positive impact. Because in the end Enough is
enough. This happens time and time again, the Western laws protect minorities. If we speak out
against the Jews of the Holocaust, it becomes anti semitic. If we speak out against homosexuals, you
		

			become homophobic. Many of these are punishable offenses. So why when it comes to Muslims, it's open
game and people can do whatever they want, see what they want, and they say this is freedom of
speech and freedom of choice. And even though these attacks have enraged Muslims all around the
world remember what Allah said and solid and no lead taxable who shut on lecom That hula hula calm.
Don't think that it's something bad for you. It's actually good for you. Because from these attacks,
so much good has already come from it and much more higher and much more good is on
