Bismillah
Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala cu Mursaleen. While early your
software he or DACA was seldom at the Sleeman Cathy Yan layer with
the AMA bash, we won the section about nnessee Her Dino Naziha. Now
see her, the Dean has not seen goodwill. That is what I think is
the preservation of the dean is in Naseeha. Their Alma what they do
is not see her essentially. But it looks like it's only the alumni,
if anybody's doing the see, it seems like only they're doing this
year. That's on Fridays. And that says, For a formality.
Unfortunately, not see her in everyday life is no longer around,
because
Muslims have also, as I said, fallen prey to the whole modern,
postmodern
dimension, which is that
see, modernity tried to create universals, that everything must
be based on rationalism.
That didn't work. So then said Everything must be beta based on
empiricism. And again, that they found that that couldn't be
possible.
And then they went through
exists existentialism. And again, that didn't work. What it is, is
that some things are rational, some things can be proven
empirically, empirically, and some things existentially. But not
everything. And there are many dimensions that are beyond that.
So now, modernity now breaks up. And the post modern post modernity
is a critique of modernity,
in the sense that you can't have universals, they went the other
dimensions, everybody must have their own set of morals. You can't
have a universal set of morals. The science had brought them the
atom bomb, look how many people that create a killed, science had
been able to
cause the Holocaust, they blamed it on science, you know, to be
able to kill so many people at once.
So then that whole idea kind of was critiqued. So now we're in a
post postmodern modern world, in a sense that everybody must have
their own morality, and who are you to tell me?
Who am I to tell you?
As long as somebody says, is a Muslim or Muslim, then let them
be? That is sufficient. It's sufficient that I call myself a
Muslim. I know my relationship between me and God.
Which is essentially the same as what's happening with
Christianity, that it's just about the huts
that the outside external manifestations of your deen don't
really matter.
Whereas Naseeha is supposed to be that I tell you, you tell me and
we're supposed to do it nicely.
And it's supposed to be open, that it's supposed to be
a trend. It's supposed to be the culture. So that if it's a culture
that is easier,
today, we'd be very, very surprised if somebody gives us an
Aussie her that we don't consider to be a superior of ours. And even
people who are in a hierarchical position like that, even they have
to be careful of what they say and who they say to.
This is where it's all going to. And look what he says he says that
we're LM Anna Manasa, hookah fucka hubback. The one who gives you an
Aussie her,
who corrects you guide you now see, he's very fast it does. It's
not just about correcting somebody, it's about telling
somebody, what is the better way for them, they're doing something
in a inferior way than to tell them the superior way,
in an enhanced way, how to better themselves. That's the whole idea.
We know that some people don't come across well, even though if
they mean well.
Because that's when your personal nature comes into it, of how you
do it. So there's two aspects here one is the obligation of Nicaea.
The other one is the methodology you use an overcoming one's own
nature, one's own way of doing things. If somebody has a harsh
way of telling people then you have to soften it out. If somebody
has a very, very loose way of telling people you're not even
making the point, right? Sometimes you say something not even making
the point like okay, he didn't get it and you think you've done a
job. You think you've fulfilled your responsibility. So a person
has to come into moderation in that regard.
and fine tune themselves to see what is most effective. Some
people are just very good at doing that.
So know that the one who gives you know see how far could have back
then he has loved you. In he he really has Goodwill for you. Woman
Danica shuck, and the one who can seal it
We just flattered you who glossed over it. We didn't really bring it
up, then he is deceptive because he is just trying to maintain a
short term relationship. He thinks long term.
But eventually it's going to come out that he should have told me he
didn't tell me then you're going to feel like why didn't you tell
me this?
Right woman lamb Jacobo Nasi Hezekiah Felisa be in luck,
anybody who doesn't accept you, and I'll see her is not your
brother, of course, do it properly.
And as a brother,
of course, you, if you're constantly harshly telling
somebody off, then it creates a barrier that's just natural human,
it can be anybody. It can be somebody you love, your break the
love like that, you will destroy the love like that, even with your
own spouse.
So you need that you can't just
there's some people who get away with it. Because people are just
used to it that, okay, that's how he's gonna be. But then there are
other reasons why you must love them, like your father
is not the most effective way to do something.
What I've seen is I've seen two brothers, parents, two brothers,
they both parents now, one just gives it as it is all the time,
doesn't beat around the bush at all. The other one is very calm,
hardly, you know, like, it will only
will only tell them off his children when it really is
necessary. And that is, you know, in a very measured kind of way.
However,
the second one has done more harm in some cases than the first one.
So you're the first one, when you're in that relationship, you
realize that that's how you have to be. But then he's a very
generous person. He's helped them in many other ways. So then, it's
about trying to balance the harshness with the kindness. So
the people get it, his children get it. He says all sorts of
bitter things. But they can take it. That's how he is they see
through it. And they understand what he's trying to say. Of
course, it does tick them off, sometimes no doubt.
The other one, he hardly says anything.
But then on one occasion, he said something, and it hurt the child
so much that they're not even speaking together.
They're not used to it. Now the same thing is could be said by the
first father
10s of times.
But it's seen as just buy stuff. It's just seen as Hutchins coming
through, you understand what he means. The second one is different
humans, very complex creatures. That's why one needs to be very,
very careful. That's why we make big mistakes online.
Because you can't show emotion, a human being is not just voice.
For the majority of human history, you didn't have a phone, you
didn't have telecommunication, it was just either personal or letter
written, which is very similar actually, in that sense. But in a
letter, you're thinking much more than when you dash off a quick
email, or give a quick response on WhatsApp. I've regretted things
I've said.
You get something at the heat of the one you just quickly send a
response. And when it's a letter, you have to write it out.
And from that time, then to seal it up, go and post it by that time
you may reconsider not let me scrub this. Let me do it again. So
you can see how there are so many complications here.
That's why I tried to balance the character reading more about a
slur. Our HELOC and so on helps in all of these forms of
communication. So anybody who doesn't accept you know, see her
he is not your brother, Ahmed Abdullah Tabata, the Allahu Anhu
says La Jolla, Rafi Coleman, Li su B now C feel
that there is no goodness in a people who are not counseling one
another.
There's no goodness whatsoever, because nobody will enhance the
community will deteriorate. Nobody's telling anybody else
everybody's trying to turn a blind eye to others. And then what
happens is once one wrong takes place in a community somebody else
will want to do it as well.
One of the reasons why we're told not to even accuse somebody of
Xena
and there is a punishment just for falsely accusing and not meeting
the criteria for a solid case which is for witnesses that I've
seen the Act One of the reasons I find them there of course is the
protection of people from false slander but on the other hand it's
ties into the whole lotta clubbers Xena concepts
that it's not just law does noon like Don't you know like lattice
new don't don't don't
commit Zina don't even go close to it. When somebody mentioned that,
oh, he is a loose person he's committed Zina with so and so.
What happens in other communities and I've seen this, they, they,
they feel the same that, oh, this person is loose, and they feel
they can do the same thing emotionally makes it an acceptable
thing. And the whole sexual revolution, according to one
thesis can be put down to this fact that they the Kinsey report
gave all of these statistics that there's this many people who are
into this particular fetish. This many people have this much
percentage of the population
have these fantasies, and these people are those who've done them.
So now, if you're a person who's had these issues, just fantasies,
when you see oh, there's 40% of the people think like that. 60% of
the people think like that, I'm not abnormal anymore.
20 people, 20% of those have tried it.
So you get ideas is how shaytaan works. When you're shown away to
do something, then people take it.
That's why today, it's much more difficult for people to live
and suppress
certain evil thoughts that they have.
Because it's become a narrative, it's become something you can
relate to.
For example, when there was rampant racism,
it was bad, or people got people dealt with it. Look, they were
bad, they were extremes, but generally other people dealt with
it.
And now,
there's not as much racism still is, but there's not as much.
But people are a lot more vocal about even the bit.
And they should be if it's Syria, they should be of course, they
shouldn't be. But being overly sensitive, such that people can't
even speak them without, and sometimes no racism is intended at
all. But it's just that once it becomes a big issue,
then people get very sensitive to it, because then they tie
themselves into that whole group mentality.
And thus, they feel like that, and they make a big thing out of
nothing. That's the time limit. So we're going to have to start some
kind of necie, which is to tell somebody like you see somebody
next to you who's praying wrong, scratching too much movement too
much into his salad is breaking. I mean, how many of you would feel
comfortable telling somebody that brother, I think you should pray
yourself again, how many of you would feel comfortable doing that?
Would you will come to me?
You know what I do? I've told a few people, I told somebody just
two days ago, it was it was a kid in the mother's. So that was
easier, right?
I've told people but now what I do is I just close my eyes.
Like, you know, when they because it's a task, I noticed these
things. So I close my eyes.
And hoping that when I open them up again, he stopped or even if
he's doing it again, then Hurstville one that he put his
hand away in back, and then he's doing it another time, which is a
separate occasion them.
But if I see somebody's like blatantly you know, because
suddenly you can feel that they've got their hand up there. And then
then I will have to tell them turn around and say, Brother, you know,
of course, we should start probably from the more serious
things.
There's an effort that requires there's an effort that's required
in that there's an efforts, it's recording that.
In fact, yesterday, one of the things that we're definitely
missing Subhanallah I've never thought about it this way
is that we're always talking about being oppressed, right? Muslims
are always talking about being oppressed. But if you look at it
another way, we are the oppressors.
In general, however, presses, we've not even thought about
sharing our fee. Every day 120 30,000 People are dying
around us.
And they're all going to Johanna.
And we don't even think about that.
That is another nussey that that's what the person was looking for.
We're just satisfied with the group that we have. We're just
working among them. Our entire focus is them. And very few people
focus on the other.
We've condemned them to *, we think they are oppressing us, but
we are actually oppressing them. And that's why
quantum higher or Mateen, aka DJ Nassetta Morona Bill Murphy
written Hona and LaMancha It's a condition this is a conditional
statement, according to some of us in the EU are the best Amma if
you're going to do a model model for Nahanni mongkol If you're
going to do that not see her
and if you don't, then you're going to be done not see her to
you are either the diary or you are either the mother rule
You're either the firewall or you're either dumb or freuen, you
are either going to actively doing something or it's going to be done
to you. And it's essentially what we find ourselves in.
And yesterday there was a talk by Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui from
India.
And he is the one guy who's got an organized system to do that well,
among non Muslims in and doing Dawa in Hindu in Hindus in India
is much more difficult than to do it in the UK or in the West to
Christians
or Westerners in general.
You don't get Hindus don't become Muslim as easily. Very difficult.
They have such a cost culture that it's very difficult. There are two
groups are very difficult.
The Jewish community because they've got a very strong
community, it's very difficult to get out of that.
Right. The other one is a Hindu community.
It's very difficult, but he's had amazing success. And he says that
what I what I found is that when you give that well
you have to remember that you are doing the work of Allah subhanho
wa Taala what he sent his prophets for. So when Musa Salah mosques,
Allah subhanho wa Taala that when Allah tells him that you need to
go to Pharaoh. So what
what does Musa Islam say? He says,
I want you
to send with me my brother Haruna Aki,
my brother here, he asked Allah subhanaw taala for a number of
things that Allah says, but at the LUCA yamasa, you've already been
given.
So in doing that, well, you've already been given, like you are
already Allah is on your side, because you're doing what he wants
you to do what this OMA is supposed to be doing.
It says you will be surprised that see, my personal thing is that I
know this is one area I'm neglecting.
I just don't know how to do that. Well, let's put it that way.
I've suffered thinking about this, that I can support speak to
Muslims.
I just find it very difficult to speak to non Muslims about Islam.
Just don't know how to do it.
And he says that
if you don't have the intention, and the confidence, then you'll
you won't know what to say. Once you have that confidence, Allah
will make you say something. And he gave a number of examples,
amazing examples.
He said the other thing is that you should always make yourself
feel regardless of the situation.
You should give yourself the confidence and I am the doer I am
playing my part I am acting for Allah subhanho wa Taala in a
superior superiority way. But in a way that I'm here to help the
situation, I am the dairy and he is the mother who he is the
invited one I am the inviter. And he says you will see that
psychologically, the whole balance will change is that one some
police picked him up for something. Right? And it was in a
car or whatever the case is. So he said it was the first time I was
picked up by a police I was very, very, I was a bit afraid first,
like what's going to happen? Because in India, you know, they
could do anything to you.
So then he said,
I remembered what I'm telling people that you know, you need to
be confident. So as soon as I thought about that, then I set up,
I was sitting like this until now like this or whatever. He said, I
set up like that, you know, relaxed, put my back to the seat
properly. And he says I'm not used to putting one leg over the other
leg, you know, you're really relaxed. When he goes I did that
just to show that I'm very relaxed. And
I started speed I put the lights on. He says like, do you do you
expect me to be like somebody who does these things that you think
so guy goes, no, no, no, no, no, I'm just following orders or
whatever. And then he started speaking.
And he said by the end of it.
The guy took the Kadima at the police station.
Right? There's numerous stories that he told him, you know, he's I
think he's got seven or eight volumes of his books about the
conversions is quite amazing. And to be honest, we're just fighting,
putting out fires until we do this job. We're just going to be
constantly putting out fires.
We don't do this job. We're just going to be constantly putting out
fires. It's just going to be a constant endless because they
don't understand us. And we're not trying to tell them who we are.
We're just telling them we're not terrorists. That's always telling
them but they don't understand why we dress the way we do. Why we're
different. Why we are like this and what we can bring to the
table.
He says this
Two things you must do.
Right? One is
you must pray for the people that you are thinking about your
neighbors wherever they are, you must make dua for them. That's
what I was meant to do. And number two, when you go out of the house,
you should do is the head or you should bring into your mind this
is a quantum higher on metal and you go out like that. Just don't
know how it's gonna work. But so he says, he says, If you can't,
it's very difficult to remember that you say, put a plug outside
your house or paper outside you have this is what it is
to remind you
because you'd be surprised. You'd be surprised.
He says everyday people are going to people are dying, you've got no
concern for them.
So who is the oppressor right now
you've got something and you don't give it to anybody.
You don't even tell him about it properly, with the view that they
share it
it's not even part of our mind. Really, yesterday I just listened
to that and I thought what are
we wasting our time?
Are we wasting our time? And this is not the he's not telling him
that this is the job of the Allama
This is the job of everybody.
May Allah subhanaw taala make that easy for us and accept us for that
long and
steady allow me
