AI: Transcript ©
My dear respective brothers and sisters,
it has been authentically reported that a prophet
said,
Islam started as something strange,
and it will come back to being something
that is strange,
And glad tidings,
toobah, to those who are strangers.
The scholars of Islam, they explained what toobah
means.
Some of them they mentioned that this is
a tree in Jannah that they will be
granted.
So the companions they asked,
Who are these uraba?
Who are these strangers?
The Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
he said,
They are those who will rectify
that which my Ummah has corrupted.
In another narration, we are told.
They are the ones who are going to
be upon goodness.
They are the ones who are going to
be upon righteousness
when the people become corrupt.
The messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. He also
told us in another hadith.
There doesn't come a time except that a
time that comes after is far worse. We
are also told in another hadith that the
messenger of Allahu alaihi wa sallam said,
From the signs
of the hour is that will become scars.
Ignorance will become so widespread.
The messenger then
said,
abhorrent, filthy,
despicable acts will become widespread.
We have also been told by the messenger
salallahu alaihi wa sallam
as reported by ibn Majah Rahmatullahi
alayhi that the messenger salallahu alayhi wa sallam
once said,
That which I fear the most for my
ummah is the practices
of the people of Ruth.
My dear respective brothers and sisters,
the messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam,
he also said in another hadith,
The holding on to your religion
will become like holding on to hot coal
and without a shadow of a doubt. My
beloved brothers and sisters,
this is the time that we are currently
living in. The time of holding on to
your religion, my beloved brothers and sisters, has
become so, so difficult
to the extent,
to the extent my beloved brothers and sisters,
one feels extremely,
extremely
terrified
to explain to his children
basic Islamic morals
and values.
One feels embarrassed
to speak about that which Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala has mentioned to us clearly
and explicitly
in his Quran. Why is that my beloved
brothers and sisters? When we are a Ummah,
we became the best of Ummah.
We became the best of nations. Why?
You became from the best of nations. Why?
Because you enjoying the good and you forbid
the evil.
You forbid the evil.
And you also believe in Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala. Do we not know my beloved brothers
and sisters
that
the people of Bani Israel,
they were destroyed
and they were cursed
simply because
they kept silent
about basic Islamic.
Or should I say, the message that Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala sent down, Allah Azzawajal says
in the Quran,
They were cursed upon the tongue of Isa
alayhisratwasalam
and also Dawud alayhisatwasalam.
Why is that my beloved brothers and sisters,
we are told they were violating?
They never
used to
forbid the evil that would be happening in
front of them. They would keep silent.
They would refrain from saying anything that would
rock the boat. Also Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
he tells us in the Quran.
Right? The people of Sabbath,
Their story is very very well known. There
were 3 groups. Those who engaged
in the Haram. Then there was a second
group. Those who remained silent. And then there
was a third group, they are the ones
who enjoined the good and they forbid the
evil. What happened my beloved brothers and sisters?
What was the consequence of this?
When they left off that which they were
reminded with
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala saved
those who were enjoining the good and forbidding
the evil.
My beloved brothers and sisters,
this is not a to
entice
hatred
and also violence
against any minority group. However,
why is it my beloved brothers and sisters
that we are always on the back foot
when it comes to that which Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala has called perfectly natural in the
Quran.
We're reaching a point
brothers and sisters that an individual feels shy
to call himself heterosexual.
For those who don't know what that means,
it means somebody who's inclined towards the opposite
gender.
Someone in other words who's straight.
He thinks thrice now, not even twice. Thrice
about when he's asked about his gender. A
parent
feels shy
to speak to his kids about this issue
simply because he is terrified
that he will be cancelled.
That he will be looked as someone who
is out of touch with reality.
Right? You have some of the Christians, brothers
and sisters,
Christians
who adhere
to the Christian teachings. I'm sure many of
us have heard about Jacob Rees Mogg.
He is Boris Johnson's right hand man.
He was invited over to the good morning
show
being hosted by Piers Morgan at the time.
They tried to what? Get him into a
lot of trouble. They kept on asking him
for his own view.
What are your views
on same * marriages?
And just let me put it like this
brothers and sisters. We've spoken to lawyers,
we've spoken to professionals
as long as you quote the scripture,
nobody can write you off.
Nobody can get you cancelled
as long as you quote the scripture. They
kept on asking him the question, what is
your view? He keeps on saying
according to the Christian teachings,
according to the Christian teachings. And he kept
on repeating it, repeating it, repeating him, looking
to get him canceled, but it didn't happen.
Why? Because he's sticking to the scripture.
These are Christians brothers and sisters. The video
has over 5,000,000,000 views, if I'm not mistaken.
It has gone absolutely viral.
Right? We can take a lot of inspiration
from that.
Holding on to your values and your morals.
You say, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said this,
I'm not voicing my view or my opinion.
It is simply what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
mentioned.
My brothers and my sisters, forget about
saying something.
Because of our silence, it is only,
only a matter of time
that we end up facing the same challenges
as the Americans.
A lot of you guys have come across
videos
how some of the leading Islamic figures today
in America
are being dragged into the ground simply because
of the watered down positions that they were
taking.
They are either on the back foot or
they are being made to
have coalitions
with this minority group.
Right? This game my brothers and my sisters
that we might be forced to play of
having to side.
Well Allah is not something that is going
to last long.
I'm sure many of us we heard some
of the incidents that took place in the
last Euros.
What happened in the last Euros?
When Poland was playing against Germany.
Poland, prior to the Euros, took a position
saying, we will not
teach
our children anything related to these kind of
things. Same * marriages. This is what Poland
says and also hungry. And as long as
we quote,
that which comes out of the horse's mouth,
don't worry brothers and sisters we are extremely
safe.
This is the position they took and they're
not even Muslims,
they couldn't get them cancelled,
they couldn't
excommunicate them, they couldn't do any of these
things,
Right? When Germany was playing against Poland, what
did Germany and Munich do? They light it
up the stadium with the rainbow colors.
And then you had the goalkeeper in the
post match conference rubbing his face like that
because he was wearing the band of these
colors.
As long as you quote the scripture, my
beloved brothers and sisters,
right, nobody can get you canceled.
Nobody can attack you, nobody can try and
defame you because you are quoting the scripture.
And anyone who then tries to defame the
scripture,
then he will be canceled by society as
it's very very well known.
Speak to lawyers, speak to every other professional
who
speciality is these kind of things. And this
is very, very, very well known. My beloved
brothers and sisters,
Ibn Tayyim Rahmatullahi
Alaihi, he says the following,
Don't look at it as a burden.
Go in against what the majority opinion
is and siding with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
and his messenger salallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Even if you are by yourself.
Even if you are by yourself. Why? He
then goes on to say
and that is because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
will be with you. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
will be by your side. Al ladina.
Allah Azzawajal
He praises those right who deliver the message
of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and they don't
fear anyone except Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala.
Nobody is saying attack anyone. No one is
saying
entice,
hatred or violence or anything like that. We
are just talking about holding on to our
basic Islamic morals.
Right? Our values that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
right? Has connected salvation with, it's as simple
as that, right? What do you think brothers
and sisters that Lot Alaihi Wasallam would do?
Lot Alaihi Salaam
who Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala sent. What do
you think you would do brothers and sisters?
And again, we are just quote in the
scripture, I'm not giving my view or expressing
my opinion. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala He says,
Allah tells us in the scripture, then Lord
said to His people, the people that came
in His time, right?
Are you not going to carry out some
of these abhorrent practices?
No one preceded you in this from the
time of Adam and Eve. Not Adam and
Steve, Adam and Eve. From that point
all the way, till Lot Alaihi Wasallam was
sent. No one ever preceded you in this.
Right? Allah
tells us, from everything we brought out what?
Pawness
of male and female.
Right? Allah
also says, insurahunibaa.
You look in the Arabic language, Azwaj was
always
a woman and likewise a man. Right? Even
when Allah
told to get on to the ship. What
did he say to him?
What did he tell him to take with
him?
I
mean,
Right?
From the camel. Right? Make sure you take
a male and also you take a female
from the sheep. Make sure you take a
male and also a female even from amongst
the animals. The scripture is telling us that
this was the case brothers and sisters.
And then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala goes on
to say
Right? You want to carry out these practices
with men when you have women at your
disposal.
Right? Indeed you are people who transgress. What
happened brothers and sisters? When they when Yudu
Alaihi Wasallam
came with this message,
The response was, kick them out of the
village. A little bit like what happens today.
Right?
Cancel them.
Be
extremely vocal against them. Get all of the
newspapers.
Right? To speak ill about them.
And this is what we see happening today,
brothers and sisters.
Indeed, they are people who are pure.
Right? They were criminalized
for being pure.
They were criminalized for being pro brothers and
sisters. Right? And then Allah
tells us
We ended up saving Ruth and those who
followed him. But those that were excluded from
amongst him was
his
wife.
Even though she wasn't directly practicing
that which the people of Lutz were engaging
in. Sheikh Alissam Taym Rahmatullahi
Alaihi. He says,
Whoever is now pleased with what certain people
are doing, right?
Then indeed,
he will be resurrected with them. He will
be from amongst them. And then he gives
the example of Imra Atulot.
She never engaged in that. However, she was
with the program.
She sided with them. And because of that
the adab came and he ended up taking
everyone who either engaged in it,
always pleased with it. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
says in the Quran,
Don't let the fact that me and you
are at,
difference of opinion.
Think
that you will not be afflicted with what
all of these
people whose prophets were sent to them. Right?
Nuh alaihis salatu wa salam. We know what
happened. Right?
We know what happened with Hud. We know
what happened with
Samud. Right? All of these different people that
had prophets sent to them. Shoaib is saying
to them
because they weren't far from them. Right? The
same could happen, my brothers and my sisters,
because of us being silent and not being
vocal about our beliefs
and our morals and our values. Right?
What do you think the outcome will be
if they were destroyed for set sins?
Set sins,
we are living in a time where we
have just about every
that was mentioned to us in the Quran.
Maybe of these
They were destroyed for
right?
My dear respective brothers and sisters,
a statement that from time to time really
terrifies me is the statement of
He says, no, that the majority of the
people, Right? They were destroyed
because of what they feared. What did they
fear? Being criticized,
being canceled.
And also loving the praise. Sometimes it may
well be my beloved brothers and sisters that
we try to please the people And on
the way to pleasing them, we disobey. Al
Malikud Dayan.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
And every move that I made, it was
always in accordance
to what pleases the people. And what is
in accordance to their what?
Their desires.
Hoping to be praised and out of fear
of being criticized.
Indeed, these are from the things my brothers
and my sisters that will get you destroyed
and it is a must that we treat
this. Ibn Qudam, Rahmatullahahi
alayhi mentions.
My brothers and my sisters, how do we
expect
to be
raised by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala? How do
we expect salvation,
right, when we let go of some of
these moles? Right? Sometimes we try to please
the creation and I'm sure a lot of
us have heard of that hadith. Right? We
try to please the people. We disobey Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala. What happens?
Allah will become angry with that individual and
he will make the people angry with that
person as well.
A very touching statement of Ibn Juzir Ahmadallahi
Alaihi. He says,
It amazes me how an individual,
he does things for the people.
He hopes to get closer to their hearts.
And he forgets
that the hearts of the people
are in the hands of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala. You're trying to please them but you
disobey Allah. Did you forget
that their hearts are in the hands of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala? My beloved brothers and
sisters,
He said a very very powerful statement.
We are a people that Allah has
honored
with Al Islam.
And the moment we desire
any of these other practices,
then Allah
will indeed
humiliate us.
Allah
will indeed
humiliate us. My beloved brothers and sisters, I
want to conclude this
with that which relates
to love is love.
One of the arguments that we keep on
hearing is listen.
Love
is love.
Right?
Love is love.
There is this discussion that happens from time
to time
amongst the atheist themselves and also when a
non atheist is debating with an atheist. And
likewise,
when a discussion now takes place between
someone who's heterosexual
and somebody who's not, the concept of morality.
What is actually considered moral and what is
not?
Right? You may have noticed my brothers and
my sisters as time went on. Right? If
you look at what was seen as moral,
maybe a 100 years ago, it's seen something
completely different today or that which was considered
immoral
previously.
Today is what Considered moral. So who actually
determines
what is morality or good one and a
bad one?
Even amongst the atheists. And this is one
of the causes of them apostating from the
religion of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. This whole
aspect of morality.
Right?
Even amongst themselves, they are differing with one
another.
When the discussion breaks out that some, they
see killing to be more.
They see it to be a good thing.
And for those who don't know what morality
means, that which
society sees as acceptable.
Right? They see certain things to be what?
Acceptable.
Others don't. Today, you see people in their
cultures
killings to be acceptable
and other things that are shunned and looked
down upon in society as what?
As acceptable. So what actually determines that? Without
a shadow of a doubt, the simple answer
is that we need an external entity
and that is Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala who's
going to govern us with a Sharia. Because
look at wheat for example.
Right? There was a time when he was
banned in just about every state in America.
As time went on, some states now seem
to be perfectly fine.
Right? And likewise, abortion and so many other
things.
Having said all of that, my beloved brothers
and sisters,
in the UK,
maybe over 300 years ago, and likewise,
200 years and then a 100 years. Right?
Some of these things that we've spoken about
today, in the UK, it was seen as
immoral.
Who did I hear this from?
A BBC reporter.
And I'm sure many of you guys have
seen this video going around, and then eventually
was taken down from YouTube.
A BBC reporter sitting
in a studio
in the UK
many many years ago, right, began to speak
about how he came across an individual
who wanted to make hijra.
This is many decades ago. He wanted to
make hijra from the UK. Why? He said
because of homosexuality. And then he asked him,
what do you mean by this? And then
he said 300 years ago, if you done
this, then the punishment would be this. 200
years ago, it would be this. 100 years.
Like he said, okay. Why are you leaving
now? He said, I am leaving
before it becomes mandatory.
And then everybody in the studio starts laughing.
Point to the matter is my brothers and
my sisters, I really, really want to read
this out inshallah.
That which might be seen today as immoral
may be seen tomorrow
as moral.
There's an interview that I came across my
beloved brothers and sisters
where a man called Todd Nickerson
is being what interviewed.
He's a nobody, but I'll tell you guys
exactly who he is.
He says right to the beginning of the
interview,
I am a nonoffending
*.
I'll say that again. I am a non
offending *.
I am part of one of the most
hated groups of society.
This is in America, by the way. Right?
This is an interview that was taking place.
We are seen as the scapegoats.
I am campaigning
just like this minority we spoke about today
was campaigning maybe a decade ago.
I am campaigning
for better treatment for people like me who
are non
offending
pedophiles. Then look what he says.
Most people when they see someone that they
are attracted to,
do they automatically think I want to jump
on them and then engage in sexual practices?
Meaning,
no, I don't.
And because of that, the same applies to
us. When we see someone that we're attracted
to, like a young child, we are attracted
to young children he's saying,
we don't automatically think that, you know what?
I wanna go and do x, y, and
zed with them.
We just happen to be attracted to kids.
This video that I just spoke about, my
brothers and my sisters, is talking about
homosexuality
becoming mandatory.
That BBC
host
who was speaking about whatever he said.
Except that this time, my beloved brothers and
sisters, what we really, really fear is that
* will become
mandatory as well.
Are we going to wait before
