He said everywhere you go any shop, even a small grocery store,
there's a police outside and they search you. They pay you down.
There are approximately three
security officials, official security officials for every
individual in that area. So there are just literally police
everywhere, just everywhere, and they just harass you. The point
is, is just pure harassment. So there we go. So you are
who you are.
Who You Are.
Salam aleikum, wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh
Al hamdu Lillahi wa Salatu was Salam ala Sayidina Muhammad Ali,
he was talking about heat as you might remember.
Firstly, a Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Wallah who only like
Dima Colonel Abdul fi only
Allah is in the assistance of his servants as long as they're in the
assistance of other believers. So our standing here in the cold some
people may be getting restless, I started feeling cold as well. When
you think of these things, then inshallah it spurs you on. This is
the minimum that we can actually do, compared to what the our
brothers and sisters are actually going through. Mashallah, there's
been many, many discussions I don't want to bore you with, I
want to try to provide you a an eyewitness account of one of my
students who actually visited about two years ago, he stayed in
that area for two to two weeks. He stayed in the area for two weeks.
And this was in the two main cities, the two main Muslim cities
of the area called Kashgar, and orang key. And what he says is
that all the machines are destroyed. So they've been shut
down, or they've been completely erased or destroyed. There's only
a few very old centuries old machines that have been left as
museums now. They can only be visited as museums and even for
that you need like special permits and things like that. So you
cannot pray down there in public anyway, you can only pray in
private in secret. Now,
the most interesting thing is that he's in that mainly Muslim area
for two weeks, they only managed to engage briefly three people to
speak to them. But that's even just briefly, one of them was a
bit of a younger person. And as soon as they started talking to
him, he answered one or two questions that I have to go.
Other people they make Salam, most people are Muslim, you can tell by
the House, as soon as you make Salam, they kind of like don't
even make sense, like the cheating on an exam or something like that.
So they don't even say Y equals salaam, they just kind of carry on
when they came to Kashgar airport when they flew international
airports, a row of taxis, but nobody's willing to take them.
Like we don't we can't have your business. We don't want your
business. They finally had to walk into the hotel, which is about 20
minutes with their luggage. The second person was actually a taxi
driver in town, who slightly opened up to them. He said,
official answer I must give you is that everything's okay. But it's
not okay. My sister's been in detention for about nine months.
And we've not heard from her. She was pregnant. When she got inside.
The third person was at the hotel they stayed in so they had a bit
more time with him. He opened up a bit more. He said, I can't pray. I
can't pray in front of any of the other employees either. Somebody
may report me. In fact, he doesn't even know how to pray property
because there's no Islamic education. There's a suppression
of Islamic education. There's no Quran in that entire area. You're
not allowed to have a Quran. You can't buy a Quran. You can't have
a Quran you can't hold the Quran. I mean, if somebody is hidden one
somewhere like they didn't Uzbekistan, you know, 50 years
ago, 70 years ago, maybe that's what it is complete eradication.
The other thing is that in the two weeks, 90% of the people that they
saw were over 45 and 50. Very few children, and very few youth. It's
like they've been transferred elsewhere. They're either in
camps, or they're in other parts of China relocated, or whatever.
The idea probably is to sterilize the people who are there, leave
the older ones, then let them finally die out. Let them not
practice their faith, let them not have any access to their faith,
and so on. There, he said everywhere you go, any shop, even
a small grocery store, there's a police outside and they search
you. They put you down. There are approximately three
security officials, official security officials for every
individual in that area. So there are just literally police
everywhere, just everywhere, and they just harassed you. The point
is, is just pure harassment. They wanted to they were they were
visited in their hotel room. Why did you go the X place in this
place and that place
They stayed there for two weeks, then
if you want to go all of these towns that taxi drivers won't take
you. It's like they know what it is. He asked, he asked the hotel,
that person in the hotel, what is prohibited items? And what are
permissible items. Since there's no way you can tell that it's left
purposely vague, so that you would just avoid having something
because you could just get into trouble for them. It's just proper
nuisance, absolute nuisance. And it's worse for those who've
actually been taken inside and so on. Now, I just been to the
Balkans. And what's interesting in the Balkans is that they also went
through something similar. Not sure the exact details may be
different. But when the Ottomans left in the early 1900s, Musa
Islam has been in the Balkans for about 300 years or so. But in the
1900s, when the Ottomans had to leave, and then it was the Serbian
Yugoslav etc, or the good of communism and so on that came in
Islam became uncool. It was once these guys in in Turkistan, they
saw an advertisement for Islamic program that there's going to be
an Islamic dance or something at night. So this is the first time
they've actually seen a promotion of an Islamic program. Let's go
and check it out just for the sake of it. When they got there, it was
actually these people with props, fake beards, fakie jobs, just
making a mockery. So essentially what they're resorting to is to
make a mockery of Islam. An imam in the Balkans, in Montes in
Montenegro told us when he arrived there 20 to 25 years ago, that
talent is the 90 something percent Muslim. They won't marry
Christians. They are Muslim, but you can't tell the difference. He
said 20 years ago, if I said As salam o alaikum, they would not
say why they going Salam because they're scared, it's uncool. It's
inferior Hamdulillah. Now it's much better.
Seven or eight people used to come to the GWAS in the Balkans. Now Al
Hamdulillah. He says, The machines are full.
In the whole of London, in the Horn of Montenegro, there's only
five of us five people who have memorized the Quran. They've never
had a taraweeh with a full Quran in living history. hamdulillah now
though, they have a hips, madrasa in the capital. So now in sha
Allah that produce them. These are ups and downs. I think everybody
should read a book called saviors of Islamic spirit by Sheikh
Abdullah Hassan Ali nadwi. He will give us hope, because he shows the
ups and downs, the highs and the lows of the Muslim ummah, from the
prophets, Allah sends time down to us, for example, by give you one
example of Baghdad, but that was the dharuhera for under Abbasids.
It was the center of the Muslim government of the world. But when
the Mongols came in, they killed a million Muslims there, and billion
Muslims were massacred. Even the Khalifa himself was rolled up in a
carpet and beat him to death so that his blood wouldn't touch the
floor. They had some superstitious belief about that, a million
people, but hamdulillah things came back. Let us make go on, let
us keep doing our best. Sometimes we get confused that what should
we do? What can we do? We feel helpless helplessness sets in and
that is really bad. We cannot outsource this to Mandy or your
loved one. When the manual or the alarm comes up before reason.
We're not waiting for him, he will come when the time is right, our
deaths are closer to us. These these problems in the world these
cottages ethnic cleansing, that taking place material may not come
in our time may be much much later going to many calculations. We
need to do what we can do. So this is what I would suggest that we
try to do the best we can ask Allah O Allah except us for
whatever you think whatever you know that I can do, whatever I can
be helpful in based on the capabilities that I have, based on
where I am, oh Allah accept me for the service of your deen. That's
the minimum that we can do. Coming here standing in the cold is
another thing other whatever else there is that others will
inshallah guide you on. May Allah subhanho wa Taala remove their
suffering. May Allah make it quick and early and Allah make us
instrumental in assisting others and protect us all. Well he will
hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salam aleikum wa rahmatullah.
Allah, what do we want?
What do we want?
What do we want?
