Abu Taymiyyah – Is BURNING FLAGS and PROTESTING the cure for the problems in the ummah
AI: Summary ©
The speakers discuss the weakening of the umal and the need for protestors to protest the situation. The United States uses military power to support Iran's recent actions, including the signing of the Iranford Exchange and the upcoming operation Block handful. Iran has used military power to influence the election and take over the world, and the United States is focused on establishing its religion and creating a "we" culture. The history of Islam is emphasized, including pressure to take over Yemen and the pressure to get into Saudi Arabia, and the importance of finding a "br brother" and being a "br sister" to establish a religion.

Brothers and sisters, InshaAllah we're gonna discuss a
vital crucial topic
something that a lot of people are speaking
about
and a lot of the time we don't
seem to know what to do
or you have people giving fatawa
on Facebook or on Twitter
saying that we need to do this and
we need to do that in regards to
the situation of the Ummah.
Why are the Ummah so weak?
Is it because
we
haven't come out and protested enough?
Is it because we don't have Muslims
who have that kind of expertise
to maybe challenge
those who are pulling the strings?
Is it because
we haven't gone out to fight?
Is it because
we are not taking part in
the petitions,
protesting
elections,
and all these other what is the solution
to all these matters that are taking place
today?
Why are the Ummah so weak?
Brothers and sisters, the answer is really, really
simple.
It is simply because
we have become far and far away
from the Quran
and the Sunnah
and that which the to us.
And I'll give an example of this.
How many Muslims do we find? They come
out for protest
in their thousands. It reaches 100 of 1,000
to do something
that
it is not part of the religion.
But then you look at
the Masajid
at Fajr time,
Duhr time, Asar time, Maghrib time, Isha time.
The Masjid, our father, the empty.
When it comes to these matters, we hasten,
we want to do it. We want to
run to applying these kind of actions.
But when it comes now to the religion
of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, the prayer,
the prayer, the fundamentals of our religion to
establish in Jannah'a,
The Muslims are not there.
If you look at the Quran,
the many ayaats,
you find that there is a direct correlation.
There's a direct correlation
in 1 gaining success
and having authority upon the Earth
by doing what? By doing the good actions
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala commanded you with.
And
one being unsuccessful,
one being destroyed
simply because he has turned away from the
remembrance of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Brothers and sisters,
come back to the Quran.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, He tells in
the Quran
The Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam has said,
my people
have forsaken the Quran, we have abandoned the
Quran,
When is the last time that we came
and we tried to open the Quran
and
try to look up the meaning in order
to act upon it? When is the last
time we took the affairs back to its
people? The Unama,
asking them how to handle these matters,
or do we tend to take things into
our own hands?
Thinking, yeah,
our emotions
are pushing us to do this. Why do
we allow the emotions to
come forth,
especially in times
when the Muslim Ummah is so weak.
Naham, one will get emotional, but
what is the correct thing to do? Allah
said, ask the scholars if you don't know.
The scholars, the unknown.
Those whose beards have whitened
and become gray
due to them being
involved in knowledge.
I'll give an example of this brothers and
sisters. Look at what happened in Aliaman.
All because of the Arab spring in the
Arab world.
They were telling the people, stay in your
homes, don't come out.
In Yemen,
our Sheikh Sheikh Yahi Al Hajuri, he used
to shout
from where he was,
advising the people, please stay in your homes.
And he used to open up Kitab ul
Imara,
the book of leadership in Sahih Muslim,
where it talks about all the ayaat and
the hadith. It talks about all the hadith
of 1
staying away from protesting
against the Muslim ruler,
whether he's oppressive or whether he's not,
and the correct way to follow when we
have issues like this. When people
left the protesting,
things became a bit better, but then the
people started going out again. And look at
our country now, look at the Yemen.
It is upside down in turmoil
people used to call the at the time
scholars for dollars
these mashaikh
these scholars they only know matters pertaining
the menses and also pregnancy they don't know
about the water they don't know what's going
on, they don't know the reality of the
matter.
They used to belittle him. They don't know
what is going on.
They don't know the reality of the situation.
They are sellouts,
whipped,
scholars for petrol,
all these other names that the scholars were
given.
You ask any random Yemeni now,
and I'm just speaking about Yemen because
I was there, I'm from there.
Do you prefer now
the situation
of Al Yemen to be how it was
at the time of Abdul As Salah
before the revolution happened or do you prefer
it to be now?
99.9
percent of the people will say to you,
you prefer it to be how it was
before Na'am there was oppression, there was issues
going on, there was problems,
there was bribery, there were things like that,
but at the same time, even if we
find these things,
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is messianid, they told
us to stay in our homes, they never
told us to come out.
Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he gave us
an example
and I think it's vital that I mentioned
this so it becomes clear to the people
the kind of thing that Prophet SAWHAN said,
they will be after me leaders who don't
take my guidance as a guidance
and they won't take my sunnah as a
sunnah
their hearts are like the hearts of the
shaytan in the body of an
ins body of human being
so the Prophet SAW,
he said at the end of the hadith
and just pay attention here, brothers and sisters,
the worst kind of example has been brought,
a guy whose heart is like the heart
of a shaytan, and he does not follow
the sunnah, he does not follow the guidance,
the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said
if your back gets beaten and your money
gets taken, listen and obey,
stay in your homes,
don't come out.
Well why people realize after when it was
too late, the country was in turmoil,
everybody did whatever they did
and now the Rafila,
the rejectionist,
those that will say to your face that
I shall love you all, and is a
fornicator they're trying to take over Yemen then
they're gonna try and take over the world
from what they have in their minds, and
Saudi Arabia is next.
This is their ultimate goal, they're trying to
surround Saudi Arabia
that's why they're trying to pack the
Iraq with Shia
it's become a Shia state
after
the invasion took place. It's given to them.
Bahrain, 70% is Shia, also another border sharing
of Saudi Arabia.
Yemen, likewise. They really
try to they're trying to take over Yemen
in order to get into Saudi Arabia.
Syria is close to Saudi Arabia.
Who is it being run by?
The Alawis who are just another branch of
the.
They're trying to surround Saudi Arabia
and Wallahi.
A lot of it goes back to what
the people
in these countries
have done
simply because they went against
the remembrance of Allah
they revolted, and now other people have to
suffer.
Other people who have nothing to do with
anything they have to suffer.
Allah says,
and fear for that
that will basically generalize
the people.
It will afflict everyone and not only those
who were oppressive.
The mother that was in her house,
the widow who didn't come out and protest,
she has to not suffer
simply because of them people that came out.
There's no electricity,
gas has become so expensive,
and these people that never got involved, they
have to suffer as well, because of the
actions and what people do,
and all this goes back to Adam and
they didn't go back to the they didn't
come back to the Quran and the Sunnah,
so we have to suffer.
So what is the cure for this brothers
and sisters?
The cure is in the Quran,
whatever illness that we have, sickness, there's always
a cure for it
remember that Allah
sent down a sickness except that the cure
came with it as all
and Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala teaches us how
to get authority,
how does one get authority upon the earth?
Allah says in the Quran,
Allah
promises, those amongst you
who do good deeds and who have believed
in Allah
He will give them authority upon the earth.
Just like he gave authority to those before
you.
And he will establish them
upon the face of the earth.
And after the fear that they were in
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala replaced this with security
with safety
When will this happen?
When the people establish a they worship me.
With what with the tawhid? And they do
not perform shirk.
They do not associate funds of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
To come back
and teach the people, learn a Tawhid, to
go then teach it,
to establish a to hide. This what Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala required from us. He requested
from us to do this.
And then
the will come as a present, as a
gift.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will gift it to
you.
That's only wasila.
It's a means, but the is what
the ultimate goal, the objective
is
to establish a Tawhid
but everything else comes,
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam he went
about trying to establish a tawheed, that was
his main goal, then if Allah
gives it to you, he gives it to
you, and it was given to him at
the end.
It's not something that we need to be
running after,
establish
it, confirming it,
and that's the best of the umalu saliha.
And time and time again, we mentioned brothers
and sisters, you want the happy life, You
wanna be living
with authority,
being able to establish your religion,
the happy life that we all crave for,
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala again tells us,
Whoever does good deeds from those that are
the men and the women,
and they are believing in Allah, they have
iman
or mummin, this person will give him a
happy life.
There's a there's
a direct correlation
of the one that does good deeds,
and Allah
saving this individual, giving him a happy life,
giving him authority upon the earth, establishing
them upon the earth, and the one that
those sins turns away from the religion of
Allah
Allah
has given this individual a depressed life,
look what Allah
tells us,
Whoever now turns away from the remembrance of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will give him a
depressive life because you went against the command
of Allah
Brothers and sisters, Allah destroyed
past nations.
How many generations before we destroyed?
Why? Because they went against the command of
Allah
Allah said in the Quran,
And all of them we took
them, we destroy them because of their sin.
From them are those who we drowned. We
swallowed the earth
onto them
because they went against the command of Allah
Allah says in the Quran,
And let those be aware who go against
his command,
and his command,
that they will be afflicted with the fitna.
Or you see
or they will be afflicted
with a painful torment.
And there's many, many ayaats.
Brothers and sisters, there's so many ayaats that
we can mention
in regards to this issue. Just you coming
back and doing the actions that are required
of you.
You really want the Khalafa?
People, they say this word Khalafa all the
time,
and they come out in their 1,000
and they don't have the sunnah on them.
The salah is being left off.
Why don't you work towards trying to establish
a calaf in your home?
By teaching your kids, by making the sunnah
apparent on them, by rectifying your wife in
the way she dresses,
how she goes about portraying herself.
As Allah
says, make your house a qiblah.
How many families do we find that even
pray together?
And as we previously mentioned, the masjid got
empty.
How can we go and ask for Khilafa
come out on the streets of Britain asking
for Khilafa and our Masajid are empty? The
basic fundamental,
the most important pillar after the shayad is
a salah, we're not establishing it properly,
and then we wonder why we're so weak
and we can't establish the basics of our
religion.
Allah
says
If only the people they did that wish
they were asked to do.
It would have been better for them,
and it would have made them firm.
And we're gonna give them a great reward
from us.
And we're guiding them on the straight path
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala also says
if only the people of the village they
believed
and they had taqwa, we would have opened
up
the provision from the sky
because of what you're doing what Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala told you to do.
Brothers and sisters, come back to your religion.
Ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to rectify you.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will not change the
state of the people
until they come back to his religion. He's
told us in the Quran,
Allah will not change the state of the
people until they change themselves.
This eye should be there
and it should be written with golden ink,
that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala won't change the
state of the people until they change themselves.
If you really want that change, now allahi
provinces come back
to establishing the basics of your religion
and be
it Allah Azzawajal
will rectify
that which is taking place
and the Muslims will become stronger,
and they will leave this weakness that they're
in.
