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
