Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alameen Wa usalli wa usallimu ala

00:00:08 --> 00:00:11

al-maba'uthi rahmatanil alameen Ba'athahu allahu

00:00:11 --> 00:00:14

shahidan wa mubashshiran wa nadheera Wa da'ayna

00:00:14 --> 00:00:17

lillahi bi-idhnihi wa sirajan munira The topic

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

of discussion as you guys are aware, my

00:00:19 --> 00:00:22

brothers and my sisters is about the suffering

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

that is taking place in Palestine.

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

It is a topic that causes the hearts

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

to bleed.

00:00:29 --> 00:00:32

It's affecting any individual who has Iman in

00:00:32 --> 00:00:33

his heart.

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

It's a topic, my brothers and my sisters,

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

that is extremely dear to our hearts.

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41

However, it's important that we look at this

00:00:41 --> 00:00:44

issue in a manner that is pleasing to

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala so that we

00:00:46 --> 00:00:50

can contribute to the betterment of what is

00:00:50 --> 00:00:54

happening and on a personal level and likewise

00:00:54 --> 00:00:59

what we can do as a community, as

00:00:59 --> 00:01:00

a society.

00:01:01 --> 00:01:03

And there's a lot to mention and it's

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

a controversial topic.

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07

So before I start, it's important my brothers

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

and my sisters that I read out the

00:01:09 --> 00:01:14

following in order to protect everyone to give

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

you some sort of insight with regards to

00:01:17 --> 00:01:23

what we as civilians, citizens are entitled to

00:01:23 --> 00:01:26

with regards to our beliefs, what we can

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27

say and so on and so forth.

00:01:31 --> 00:01:36

Following the Charlie Hebdo attacks Following the Charlie

00:01:36 --> 00:01:41

Hebdo attacks in January 2015 I'm sure a

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

lot of you guys remember this, right?

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

The Charlie Hebdo attacks, but some of you

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

guys are still extremely young.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

Gen Z's, huh?

00:01:50 --> 00:01:54

Following the Charlie Hebdo attacks in January 2015

00:01:55 --> 00:02:00

numerous politicians and leaders around the world boldly

00:02:00 --> 00:02:03

asserted that their nations will never give up

00:02:03 --> 00:02:04

freedom of speech.

00:02:05 --> 00:02:06

And I want to make it very very

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

clear, my brothers and my sisters from the

00:02:08 --> 00:02:11

onset, from the get go that I, as

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13

a Bhutania, I'm not here to incite violence

00:02:14 --> 00:02:16

I'm not here, my brothers and my sisters,

00:02:16 --> 00:02:19

to advise anyone to do that which is

00:02:19 --> 00:02:23

not in line with the law of the

00:02:23 --> 00:02:24

land.

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

I'll make that very very clear.

00:02:26 --> 00:02:27

I am not a hate preacher.

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

Does anyone know me as a hate preacher?

00:02:29 --> 00:02:30

Right?

00:02:32 --> 00:02:34

I'm a peaceful Imam, right?

00:02:35 --> 00:02:36

I spread peace, and so on.

00:02:37 --> 00:02:40

However, it's important that we mention this, right?

00:02:40 --> 00:02:43

Like I said, so that everyone is aware

00:02:43 --> 00:02:46

and everyone has insight with regards to what

00:02:46 --> 00:02:49

they are entitled to, and so on.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:53

So they all came together, and they boldly

00:02:53 --> 00:02:57

asserted that their nations will never ever give

00:02:57 --> 00:02:59

up freedom of speech.

00:03:00 --> 00:03:03

Likewise, they affirmed something called the right to

00:03:03 --> 00:03:04

offend.

00:03:05 --> 00:03:08

This is what they concluded with.

00:03:08 --> 00:03:11

And even then, I'm not encouraging anyone to

00:03:11 --> 00:03:13

offend another human being.

00:03:13 --> 00:03:14

But this is what they came out with,

00:03:15 --> 00:03:15

and I'm just quoting.

00:03:18 --> 00:03:20

Likewise, they affirmed the right to offend in

00:03:20 --> 00:03:21

a free society.

00:03:21 --> 00:03:25

David Cameron, the UK Prime Minister at the

00:03:25 --> 00:03:28

time, stated it is very important in our

00:03:28 --> 00:03:31

countries that we have a freedom of expression.

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

He then says, you are allowed to offend

00:03:34 --> 00:03:34

people.

00:03:35 --> 00:03:37

This is what David Cameron is saying.

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41

Who is currently, does anyone know his position?

00:03:42 --> 00:03:45

Foreign Secretary.

00:03:48 --> 00:03:50

He said it is very important that our

00:03:50 --> 00:03:53

countries, or in our countries, that we have

00:03:53 --> 00:03:55

a freedom of expression.

00:03:55 --> 00:03:57

You are allowed to offend people, he says.

00:03:58 --> 00:04:00

You might not agree with something.

00:04:00 --> 00:04:03

As often as I see things, I do

00:04:03 --> 00:04:04

not agree with.

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

But I believe in the freedom of speech

00:04:10 --> 00:04:11

and the rule of law.

00:04:12 --> 00:04:14

These types of remarks, my brothers and my

00:04:14 --> 00:04:18

sisters, were made by politicians in order to

00:04:18 --> 00:04:22

defend the right of French cartoonists.

00:04:23 --> 00:04:28

Who depicted Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30

A prophet who is revered.

00:04:31 --> 00:04:34

At the time, 1.5 billion Muslims.

00:04:35 --> 00:04:36

However, at this moment in time, there are

00:04:36 --> 00:04:37

how many Muslims in the world?

00:04:38 --> 00:04:39

Two billion Muslims.

00:04:42 --> 00:04:44

They tried to extinguish the light of Allah

00:04:44 --> 00:04:45

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:04:45 --> 00:04:48

But it only works against them, and in

00:04:48 --> 00:04:49

the favor of the Muslims.

00:04:50 --> 00:04:51

The numbers have increased since then.

00:04:51 --> 00:04:55

Even though they tried to portray the message

00:04:55 --> 00:04:57

of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

00:04:58 --> 00:05:02

In a manner that upset the Muslims at

00:05:02 --> 00:05:02

the time.

00:05:03 --> 00:05:07

Always looking for ways to blemish, to tarnish

00:05:07 --> 00:05:10

the image, the message of Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu

00:05:10 --> 00:05:11

Alaihi Wasallam.

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

So a prophet at the time, who was

00:05:15 --> 00:05:19

revered by 1.5 billion Muslims spread across

00:05:19 --> 00:05:20

the globe.

00:05:20 --> 00:05:27

Through immoral, deliberately provocative and insightful *

00:05:27 --> 00:05:28

caricatures.

00:05:30 --> 00:05:32

And we know what happened.

00:05:33 --> 00:05:35

And as we always say, we condemn violence.

00:05:35 --> 00:05:41

But at the same time, for us to

00:05:41 --> 00:05:45

just watch the most greatest individual to ever

00:05:45 --> 00:05:47

walk on the face of this earth, being

00:05:47 --> 00:05:50

depicted in this way is something that is

00:05:50 --> 00:05:51

truly unacceptable.

00:05:54 --> 00:05:58

In his 9th January 2015 article titled We

00:05:58 --> 00:06:01

Must Always Be Free To Criticize Ideas Like

00:06:01 --> 00:06:02

Islam.

00:06:03 --> 00:06:06

In the telegraph, Nick Clegg Who was Nick

00:06:06 --> 00:06:07

Clegg?

00:06:07 --> 00:06:08

Does anyone remember?

00:06:13 --> 00:06:16

He was then the Deputy Prime Minister.

00:06:17 --> 00:06:20

He wrote, this is the bottom line.

00:06:21 --> 00:06:24

In a free society, people have to be

00:06:24 --> 00:06:26

free to offend each other.

00:06:27 --> 00:06:29

And for the second time, or maybe the

00:06:29 --> 00:06:31

third time, I'll make it very very clear,

00:06:31 --> 00:06:35

I am not encouraging anyone to offend any

00:06:35 --> 00:06:36

other human being.

00:06:37 --> 00:06:40

However, my brothers and my sisters, this is

00:06:40 --> 00:06:42

what they kept on regurgitating.

00:06:43 --> 00:06:46

In order to defend their rights to offend

00:06:46 --> 00:06:49

Islam and the Prophet that is followed and

00:06:49 --> 00:06:49

revered.

00:06:49 --> 00:06:52

By all of these Muslims across the globe.

00:06:57 --> 00:06:58

He said, this is the bottom line.

00:06:59 --> 00:07:01

In a free society, people have to be

00:07:01 --> 00:07:02

free to offend each other.

00:07:03 --> 00:07:05

There is no such thing as a right

00:07:05 --> 00:07:06

not to be offended.

00:07:07 --> 00:07:10

You cannot have freedom unless people are free

00:07:10 --> 00:07:12

to offend each other.

00:07:13 --> 00:07:14

And then he goes on and on and

00:07:14 --> 00:07:17

on and says, he also cited the actor

00:07:17 --> 00:07:22

Rowan Atkins, the freedom to criticize ideas, any

00:07:22 --> 00:07:26

ideas, even if they are sincerely held beliefs,

00:07:26 --> 00:07:30

is one of the fundamental freedoms of society.

00:07:31 --> 00:07:33

Nick Clegg goes on to write, the freedom

00:07:33 --> 00:07:37

that allows someone to criticize an idea, even

00:07:37 --> 00:07:40

a religious idea, is the same freedom that

00:07:40 --> 00:07:42

allows others to promote it.

00:07:43 --> 00:07:46

That allows others to promote it.

00:07:46 --> 00:07:49

We are all free to agree or disagree,

00:07:49 --> 00:07:53

believe or disbelieve, support or oppose.

00:07:54 --> 00:07:58

That we in Britain can do so, usually

00:07:58 --> 00:08:02

in a spirit of tolerance, makes us a

00:08:02 --> 00:08:04

beacon for the world's oppressed.

00:08:06 --> 00:08:06

Right?

00:08:10 --> 00:08:10

Ila akhirah.

00:08:11 --> 00:08:14

Then you get the discussion, my brothers and

00:08:14 --> 00:08:16

my sisters, of LGBTQ, right?

00:08:16 --> 00:08:20

There is the controversial, constant discussion that keeps

00:08:20 --> 00:08:22

going on and on and on and on.

00:08:23 --> 00:08:24

To conclude this point, my brothers and my

00:08:24 --> 00:08:26

sisters, I'll quickly mention the following.

00:08:27 --> 00:08:27

Right?

00:08:27 --> 00:08:31

This belief that Muslims have, is not something

00:08:31 --> 00:08:32

that is exclusive to them.

00:08:33 --> 00:08:34

For those who didn't know my brothers and

00:08:34 --> 00:08:38

my sisters, this in fact, this belief, is

00:08:38 --> 00:08:43

a mainstream religious idea amongst Muslim, Torah Jews

00:08:43 --> 00:08:44

and Christians.

00:08:44 --> 00:08:48

Based upon a mainstream reading of scripture.

00:08:49 --> 00:08:54

For example, over 230 Jewish rabbis, academics and

00:08:54 --> 00:08:59

mental health professionals, signed a declaration titled, The

00:08:59 --> 00:09:02

Torah Approach to Homosexuality.

00:09:04 --> 00:09:05

And I'm just quoting my brothers and my

00:09:05 --> 00:09:08

sisters, Abu Taymiyyah doesn't have his own ideas

00:09:08 --> 00:09:09

and views and opinions.

00:09:10 --> 00:09:11

Right?

00:09:12 --> 00:09:13

You know my brothers and my sisters, take

00:09:13 --> 00:09:14

this from me.

00:09:15 --> 00:09:18

There is a three-step strategy that is

00:09:18 --> 00:09:22

used to strip us of our Muslim identity.

00:09:23 --> 00:09:25

You have non-Muslims today, and I've done

00:09:25 --> 00:09:26

a lot of research on it.

00:09:27 --> 00:09:28

Right?

00:09:28 --> 00:09:31

You're probably wondering why I'm still walking around

00:09:31 --> 00:09:31

freely.

00:09:32 --> 00:09:34

Even though I've been addressing a lot of

00:09:34 --> 00:09:35

the modern day ideologies.

00:09:37 --> 00:09:37

Right?

00:09:38 --> 00:09:41

Whether it may be feminism, liberalism, the rainbow

00:09:41 --> 00:09:43

team, they tried to shut down some of

00:09:43 --> 00:09:46

my programs, in different places, but they always

00:09:46 --> 00:09:47

fell flat on their faces.

00:09:47 --> 00:09:49

Because I am not a hate preacher.

00:09:50 --> 00:09:51

And I just quote.

00:09:51 --> 00:09:52

Right?

00:09:52 --> 00:09:56

I call to what, stands for our Muslim

00:09:56 --> 00:09:57

identity.

00:09:58 --> 00:09:59

Are you brothers and sisters with me?

00:10:00 --> 00:10:02

Exactly what the scripture states.

00:10:02 --> 00:10:04

Where did I get this idea from?

00:10:04 --> 00:10:06

Have you guys heard of an individual called

00:10:06 --> 00:10:07

Jacob Rees-Mogg?

00:10:07 --> 00:10:12

A couple of years ago, he did an

00:10:12 --> 00:10:14

interview with Mr. Pierce Morgan.

00:10:15 --> 00:10:16

That some of you guys may know about.

00:10:16 --> 00:10:16

Right?

00:10:17 --> 00:10:19

On the Good Morning Show.

00:10:19 --> 00:10:21

This is before he has, or he had

00:10:21 --> 00:10:23

this show that he currently runs.

00:10:25 --> 00:10:28

He is interviewing Jacob Rees-Mogg, who is

00:10:28 --> 00:10:30

a conservative MP.

00:10:31 --> 00:10:33

And constantly pressing him.

00:10:33 --> 00:10:36

What is your view on homosexuality?

00:10:36 --> 00:10:38

Or same-* marriages?

00:10:38 --> 00:10:42

Every single time, he would say, according to

00:10:42 --> 00:10:44

the teachings of the church.

00:10:44 --> 00:10:46

And then Pierce, the kind of individual he

00:10:46 --> 00:10:49

is, keeps asking him, but what is your

00:10:49 --> 00:10:49

opinion?

00:10:49 --> 00:10:51

Because it doesn't matter what my opinion is.

00:10:52 --> 00:10:54

According to the teachings of the church, this

00:10:54 --> 00:10:56

is not how you structure your life.

00:10:56 --> 00:10:57

This is Pierce.

00:10:57 --> 00:10:59

This is Jacob Rees-Mogg brothers and sisters.

00:11:01 --> 00:11:01

Right?

00:11:01 --> 00:11:06

A white Christian man, who is part of

00:11:06 --> 00:11:07

the conservative party.

00:11:08 --> 00:11:09

Sits in parliament.

00:11:10 --> 00:11:13

Non-apologetic about what he believes.

00:11:13 --> 00:11:14

Doesn't bite his tongue.

00:11:16 --> 00:11:16

Right?

00:11:17 --> 00:11:17

Calls to what?

00:11:18 --> 00:11:19

He stands for my brothers and my sisters.

00:11:21 --> 00:11:24

But in a way that will not land

00:11:24 --> 00:11:25

them into hot water.

00:11:26 --> 00:11:28

So my brothers and my sisters, if you

00:11:28 --> 00:11:31

have non-Muslims, whether they may be Christians,

00:11:31 --> 00:11:33

or the Torah Jews that I just spoke

00:11:33 --> 00:11:36

about, who are holding on to their values

00:11:36 --> 00:11:37

and their morals, what is stopping us from

00:11:37 --> 00:11:40

being able to quote what Allah and His

00:11:40 --> 00:11:41

Messenger ﷺ have mentioned?

00:11:43 --> 00:11:43

Right?

00:11:44 --> 00:11:49

So the three-step strategy that I quickly

00:11:49 --> 00:11:50

mentioned, what is it?

00:11:51 --> 00:11:52

Three words, my brothers and my sisters.

00:11:53 --> 00:11:54

Three words.

00:11:55 --> 00:11:57

Number one, desensitize.

00:11:57 --> 00:11:58

Number two, jam.

00:11:59 --> 00:12:00

Number three, convert.

00:12:01 --> 00:12:02

What does that mean?

00:12:02 --> 00:12:03

What does desensitize mean?

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05

Imagine that my brothers and my sisters, I

00:12:05 --> 00:12:08

stand on the pulpit every single day.

00:12:08 --> 00:12:10

And I repeat the exact same thing.

00:12:11 --> 00:12:14

If you disagree with me, right?

00:12:14 --> 00:12:16

If you disagree with me, maybe on the

00:12:16 --> 00:12:18

first day, but eventually, you know what will

00:12:18 --> 00:12:19

happen?

00:12:19 --> 00:12:21

Eventually what will happen is, you will become

00:12:21 --> 00:12:24

very sympathetic to what I'm saying, or you

00:12:24 --> 00:12:25

will see where I'm coming from.

00:12:27 --> 00:12:27

Right?

00:12:28 --> 00:12:29

This is what will happen.

00:12:29 --> 00:12:30

Meaning repeating the same thing.

00:12:30 --> 00:12:33

Time and time and time again.

00:12:33 --> 00:12:36

Eventually you will see yourself subconsciously.

00:12:36 --> 00:12:40

If you don't accept, at least seeing my

00:12:40 --> 00:12:40

perspective.

00:12:42 --> 00:12:44

This is a bit of psychology as well.

00:12:45 --> 00:12:46

Does everyone get that?

00:12:47 --> 00:12:49

And this is exactly what we see happening.

00:12:49 --> 00:12:51

Us being bombarded constantly with information.

00:12:52 --> 00:12:52

Right?

00:12:53 --> 00:12:55

Number two, my brothers and my sisters, jam.

00:12:55 --> 00:12:56

What does jam mean?

00:12:56 --> 00:12:57

Not that which you eat.

00:12:58 --> 00:12:58

Right?

00:12:58 --> 00:13:02

Jamming tactics are used to silence you.

00:13:03 --> 00:13:05

The moment, my brothers and my sisters, you

00:13:05 --> 00:13:08

go against the establishment, or what the mainstream

00:13:08 --> 00:13:12

position, that they want you to embrace, they

00:13:12 --> 00:13:13

will begin to cancel you.

00:13:16 --> 00:13:17

They will start calling you all sorts of

00:13:17 --> 00:13:18

names.

00:13:18 --> 00:13:18

You are a bigot.

00:13:18 --> 00:13:19

You are a racist.

00:13:19 --> 00:13:20

You are anti this and you are anti

00:13:20 --> 00:13:21

that.

00:13:21 --> 00:13:23

When in reality, my brothers and my sisters,

00:13:23 --> 00:13:25

you are standing up for that which has

00:13:25 --> 00:13:29

been considered morality within western establishments, for as

00:13:29 --> 00:13:30

long as you can think.

00:13:32 --> 00:13:33

And then number three, my brothers and my

00:13:33 --> 00:13:34

sisters, what is it?

00:13:36 --> 00:13:37

Convert.

00:13:38 --> 00:13:42

They will look for every way possible to

00:13:42 --> 00:13:45

convert you now, in accepting that which they

00:13:45 --> 00:13:46

are trying to make mainstream.

00:13:50 --> 00:13:51

Once upon a time, my brothers and my

00:13:51 --> 00:13:53

sisters, the schools were very different to what

00:13:53 --> 00:13:55

they are today.

00:13:55 --> 00:13:57

A lot of us, when we grew up

00:13:57 --> 00:13:59

in schools and we saw someone walking a

00:13:59 --> 00:14:03

little bit weird, everyone would start calling him

00:14:03 --> 00:14:03

all sorts of names.

00:14:05 --> 00:14:06

Right?

00:14:08 --> 00:14:09

Some of the elders are smiling.

00:14:09 --> 00:14:10

They know what I am talking about.

00:14:11 --> 00:14:13

But now, the child of my brothers and

00:14:13 --> 00:14:16

my sisters that is being bombarded with information,

00:14:18 --> 00:14:21

if he sees otherwise, he is seen as

00:14:21 --> 00:14:23

someone that is out of touch with reality.

00:14:25 --> 00:14:27

And this is extremely dangerous.

00:14:28 --> 00:14:30

Extremely, extremely dangerous, my brothers and my sisters.

00:14:31 --> 00:14:33

Because it could reach a point where this

00:14:33 --> 00:14:35

child now begins to believe that these things

00:14:35 --> 00:14:37

are actually permissible or halal.

00:14:39 --> 00:14:39

Right?

00:14:39 --> 00:14:44

Which is worse than actually what practicing the

00:14:44 --> 00:14:44

sin itself.

00:14:44 --> 00:14:45

Let me ask you guys a question.

00:14:46 --> 00:14:47

When it comes to committing a zina, is

00:14:47 --> 00:14:48

that halal or haram?

00:14:50 --> 00:14:51

It's haram, right?

00:14:52 --> 00:14:56

The person now who practices a zina, does

00:14:56 --> 00:14:58

haram things with his girlfriend, he might call

00:14:58 --> 00:15:00

Abu Tamim and say, please, make dua for

00:15:00 --> 00:15:00

me.

00:15:01 --> 00:15:01

Right?

00:15:01 --> 00:15:04

I'm in this very problematic situation, my heart

00:15:04 --> 00:15:06

is spiritually dead.

00:15:07 --> 00:15:07

Right?

00:15:07 --> 00:15:09

I feel empty inside, make dua for me.

00:15:09 --> 00:15:11

He knows he's wrong, but he's still committing

00:15:11 --> 00:15:11

the sin.

00:15:12 --> 00:15:12

Which one is wrong?

00:15:13 --> 00:15:14

Which one is worse, should I say?

00:15:15 --> 00:15:17

To believe that it's halal, or to be

00:15:17 --> 00:15:18

carrying out that sin?

00:15:19 --> 00:15:20

To believe it's halal.

00:15:20 --> 00:15:20

Why?

00:15:21 --> 00:15:22

Because you are making something that is what?

00:15:23 --> 00:15:25

Haram, halal, or halal, haram.

00:15:25 --> 00:15:26

And this is istihlal.

00:15:27 --> 00:15:30

This is far worse than actually practicing the

00:15:30 --> 00:15:30

sin.

00:15:31 --> 00:15:33

Now you do the maths, my brothers and

00:15:33 --> 00:15:35

my sisters, with regards to what we see

00:15:35 --> 00:15:37

happening right before our eyes.

00:15:39 --> 00:15:40

And this, my brothers and my sisters, is

00:15:40 --> 00:15:42

what I have been fearing, and I still

00:15:42 --> 00:15:43

continue to fear.

00:15:44 --> 00:15:46

For our children that are in these surroundings,

00:15:47 --> 00:15:48

right?

00:15:49 --> 00:15:50

This is why I've been telling the brothers

00:15:50 --> 00:15:51

and sisters a lot.

00:15:52 --> 00:15:52

Right?

00:15:53 --> 00:15:54

It may well be a good idea to

00:15:54 --> 00:15:58

start thinking from now, where we can maybe

00:15:58 --> 00:16:00

in the future move to with our children.

00:16:01 --> 00:16:03

As the Messenger of Allah said, لا يأتي

00:16:03 --> 00:16:06

زمان الا الذي بعده شر من There doesn't

00:16:06 --> 00:16:07

come a time except that the time that

00:16:07 --> 00:16:08

comes after is always worse.

00:16:11 --> 00:16:11

Right?

00:16:11 --> 00:16:13

Maybe ten years down the line, you will

00:16:13 --> 00:16:14

be in a better position than the one

00:16:14 --> 00:16:16

who's only woken up then.

00:16:17 --> 00:16:20

How many elders, subhanAllah, from the Muslim community,

00:16:20 --> 00:16:23

who are in positions of authority, teaching religion,

00:16:24 --> 00:16:26

one by one I started seeing them leave,

00:16:27 --> 00:16:28

moving back home, and settling there.

00:16:28 --> 00:16:30

And Allah, Azza wa Jal, opened doors for

00:16:30 --> 00:16:30

them.

00:16:31 --> 00:16:32

I'm not going to say it's wajib for

00:16:32 --> 00:16:34

you now to immigrate, but it may well

00:16:34 --> 00:16:36

be a good idea to start thinking about

00:16:37 --> 00:16:40

somewhere that I can practice my religion with

00:16:40 --> 00:16:42

my children, so much more freely.

00:16:52 --> 00:16:53

So I have to go through that, my

00:16:53 --> 00:16:53

brothers and my sisters.

00:16:54 --> 00:16:55

So the lecture today, my brothers and my

00:16:55 --> 00:16:57

sisters, what I've done is I've split it

00:16:57 --> 00:16:57

into three.

00:16:59 --> 00:17:02

When it comes to the tests, the tribulations,

00:17:02 --> 00:17:06

the hardships, the difficulties that our brothers and

00:17:06 --> 00:17:09

sisters in Palestine are going through.

00:17:10 --> 00:17:13

Why is Allah, subhanAllah, allowing this to take

00:17:13 --> 00:17:13

place?

00:17:14 --> 00:17:16

These are questions maybe that we are thinking

00:17:16 --> 00:17:19

of, that we are struggling to find answers

00:17:19 --> 00:17:19

to.

00:17:20 --> 00:17:20

Right?

00:17:21 --> 00:17:27

Number two, can someone's actions affect another?

00:17:28 --> 00:17:33

Number three, components that cause or contribute to

00:17:33 --> 00:17:35

the weakness of the Muslim Ummah.

00:17:39 --> 00:17:43

SubhanAllah, I've already been speaking for 25 minutes.

00:17:46 --> 00:17:47

We started at 2.15, right?

00:17:47 --> 00:17:50

I think we started at 2.20. Sheikh

00:17:50 --> 00:17:51

Shafiq said I only have an hour.

00:17:54 --> 00:17:55

SubhanAllah, just a disclaimer.

00:17:55 --> 00:17:56

It took 20 minutes.

00:17:57 --> 00:17:59

It's unfortunate that we have to go through

00:17:59 --> 00:18:00

it, but I think everyone got the point,

00:18:00 --> 00:18:01

right?

00:18:01 --> 00:18:03

Would you agree that it's extremely important?

00:18:03 --> 00:18:04

Yes.

00:18:05 --> 00:18:07

Abu Taymi taking inspiration from Christians such as

00:18:07 --> 00:18:08

Jacob Rees-Mogg?

00:18:08 --> 00:18:10

Wallahi, he helped my dawah a lot.

00:18:12 --> 00:18:13

May Allah Azza wa Jalla guide him to

00:18:13 --> 00:18:13

Islam.

00:18:14 --> 00:18:16

And like I said, for the third or

00:18:16 --> 00:18:18

fourth time, I'm not here to incite violence.

00:18:18 --> 00:18:20

I'm only here to quote the scripture.

00:18:21 --> 00:18:22

Right?

00:18:22 --> 00:18:24

And that which has historically taken place.

00:18:25 --> 00:18:27

So the first, my brothers and my sisters,

00:18:27 --> 00:18:29

when it comes to the tests, and tribulations,

00:18:29 --> 00:18:32

and hardships, putting that into perspective.

00:18:34 --> 00:18:37

Why is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala making

00:18:37 --> 00:18:38

them go through all of this?

00:18:38 --> 00:18:40

And we can maybe split this into two.

00:18:41 --> 00:18:44

Number one, what are the wisdoms behind it?

00:18:44 --> 00:18:45

And number two, my brothers and my sisters,

00:18:46 --> 00:18:46

right?

00:18:47 --> 00:18:50

What can one walk away with the test

00:18:50 --> 00:18:52

that he experiences?

00:18:54 --> 00:18:56

Ibn al-Qayyim rahmatullahi alayhi, my beloved brothers

00:18:56 --> 00:18:58

and sisters, he says the following, and this

00:18:58 --> 00:18:59

is what's extremely powerful.

00:19:01 --> 00:19:01

Right?

00:19:01 --> 00:19:06

Man arafa allaha, ittasa alayhi kullu dhiq.

00:19:07 --> 00:19:09

Whoever learns about who Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:19:09 --> 00:19:13

'ala is, he'll be relieved of all of

00:19:13 --> 00:19:13

his stresses.

00:19:15 --> 00:19:16

I'll say that again.

00:19:17 --> 00:19:19

Whoever learns about who Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:19:19 --> 00:19:22

'ala is, he'll be relieved of his stresses.

00:19:24 --> 00:19:26

You know the hardships and the difficulties that

00:19:26 --> 00:19:27

one goes through?

00:19:27 --> 00:19:29

Just knowing who Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:19:29 --> 00:19:31

is, right?

00:19:31 --> 00:19:33

It will help you in a way that

00:19:33 --> 00:19:34

you can't imagine.

00:19:37 --> 00:19:38

This is why my brothers and my sisters,

00:19:38 --> 00:19:42

I always tend to bang on about, learn

00:19:42 --> 00:19:44

who Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is.

00:19:45 --> 00:19:46

Learn about the tawheed.

00:19:46 --> 00:19:50

Learn about your belief, your aqeedah, of who

00:19:50 --> 00:19:51

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is.

00:19:52 --> 00:19:52

Right?

00:19:53 --> 00:19:54

Why is it, my brothers and my sisters,

00:19:54 --> 00:19:58

that when our parents say to us, Allah

00:19:58 --> 00:20:00

said in his message, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:20:00 --> 00:20:03

said, it falls on deaf ears, and sometimes

00:20:03 --> 00:20:05

as parents, we may give out these commandments

00:20:05 --> 00:20:06

and these prohibitions.

00:20:07 --> 00:20:09

We tell them wear hijab, and they have

00:20:09 --> 00:20:12

no idea who she is wearing the hijab

00:20:12 --> 00:20:13

to.

00:20:13 --> 00:20:15

Or he has no idea who he's praying

00:20:15 --> 00:20:15

to.

00:20:15 --> 00:20:18

He knows nothing about Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:20:18 --> 00:20:18

'ala.

00:20:20 --> 00:20:21

Would you guys agree, my brothers and my

00:20:21 --> 00:20:24

sisters, that we respect people, we respect them,

00:20:24 --> 00:20:26

based on what we know about them?

00:20:27 --> 00:20:27

Right?

00:20:28 --> 00:20:30

Why is there certain people in society that

00:20:30 --> 00:20:31

we respect more than others?

00:20:31 --> 00:20:31

Why?

00:20:32 --> 00:20:33

Because of what we know about them.

00:20:34 --> 00:20:35

Is there anyone here that is engaged?

00:20:36 --> 00:20:36

It's marriage season.

00:20:38 --> 00:20:39

Anyone here that is engaged, my brothers and

00:20:39 --> 00:20:40

my sisters?

00:20:40 --> 00:20:41

Put your hand up.

00:20:41 --> 00:20:42

Say mashallah when he puts his hand up.

00:20:43 --> 00:20:44

Don't give him your nazar.

00:20:44 --> 00:20:45

Right?

00:20:46 --> 00:20:46

Huh?

00:20:50 --> 00:20:52

Anyone, brothers and sisters, I like to mention

00:20:52 --> 00:20:53

this example a lot.

00:20:53 --> 00:20:55

Because it makes things fall into perspective.

00:20:56 --> 00:20:56

Anyone?

00:20:57 --> 00:21:00

Say we have a brother who found bushra.

00:21:00 --> 00:21:01

Right?

00:21:02 --> 00:21:04

You have Muhammad who found bushra.

00:21:04 --> 00:21:05

Out of all the women that he could

00:21:05 --> 00:21:07

have picked, he picked bushra.

00:21:07 --> 00:21:07

Why?

00:21:08 --> 00:21:10

Why did he pick her out of every

00:21:10 --> 00:21:12

other woman that he came across?

00:21:12 --> 00:21:12

Why?

00:21:13 --> 00:21:15

Because of all the things that he came

00:21:15 --> 00:21:15

to know about her.

00:21:15 --> 00:21:16

Agreed?

00:21:16 --> 00:21:18

He found out that she has good deen,

00:21:18 --> 00:21:18

religion.

00:21:19 --> 00:21:20

Her etiquettes are good.

00:21:20 --> 00:21:22

She treats her parents nicely.

00:21:22 --> 00:21:23

Right?

00:21:23 --> 00:21:24

And then he's gone ahead with it.

00:21:24 --> 00:21:26

Later on he finds out that she fasts

00:21:26 --> 00:21:27

in the day and she prays in the

00:21:27 --> 00:21:27

night.

00:21:27 --> 00:21:28

I've hit the jackpot.

00:21:28 --> 00:21:29

He even what?

00:21:29 --> 00:21:30

Increases in love.

00:21:31 --> 00:21:32

May Allah give you all a woman like

00:21:32 --> 00:21:32

that.

00:21:33 --> 00:21:33

Right?

00:21:34 --> 00:21:35

And if your women aren't like that, may

00:21:35 --> 00:21:36

Allah make them like that.

00:21:36 --> 00:21:36

Or even better.

00:21:38 --> 00:21:38

Say ameen.

00:21:38 --> 00:21:39

Why are you guys scared for?

00:21:39 --> 00:21:41

Because if your sister is in a...

00:21:42 --> 00:21:42

Huh?

00:21:44 --> 00:21:45

Shahid mil kalam, my brothers and my sisters,

00:21:45 --> 00:21:47

we respect and we begin to what?

00:21:48 --> 00:21:51

Appreciate people because of what we know about

00:21:51 --> 00:21:51

them.

00:21:52 --> 00:21:54

All of these characteristics and qualities that you

00:21:54 --> 00:21:55

come to learn about people.

00:21:56 --> 00:21:57

Not that I'm trying to compare bushra to

00:21:57 --> 00:21:58

Allah.

00:21:58 --> 00:21:59

No, absolutely not.

00:22:02 --> 00:22:04

What I'm trying to say is my brothers

00:22:04 --> 00:22:07

and my sisters, because we don't know anything

00:22:07 --> 00:22:11

about Allah azawajal, don't expect your heart to

00:22:11 --> 00:22:14

become activated when you hear a commandment.

00:22:14 --> 00:22:14

Right?

00:22:15 --> 00:22:17

The only source of knowledge that we have

00:22:17 --> 00:22:18

of Allah is what?

00:22:19 --> 00:22:21

His names and his attributes that we took

00:22:21 --> 00:22:22

from the Quran and Sunnah.

00:22:23 --> 00:22:25

One of these attributes that I want to

00:22:25 --> 00:22:27

stand over today my brothers and my sisters,

00:22:28 --> 00:22:28

right?

00:22:29 --> 00:22:31

Is the wisdom of Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:22:31 --> 00:22:31

'ala.

00:22:32 --> 00:22:34

In the Quran you find a lot.

00:22:37 --> 00:22:39

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is all-knowing

00:22:39 --> 00:22:40

and is what?

00:22:40 --> 00:22:41

All-wise.

00:22:41 --> 00:22:43

In Surah Yusuf you will find it multiple

00:22:43 --> 00:22:44

times.

00:22:46 --> 00:22:49

Surah Yusuf that is filled with trials and

00:22:49 --> 00:22:52

tribulations that the father Ya'qub and Yusuf

00:22:52 --> 00:22:53

a.s. went through.

00:22:54 --> 00:22:55

Are you brothers and sisters with me?

00:22:56 --> 00:22:58

Why does Allah keep mentioning Al-Aleem and

00:22:58 --> 00:22:59

Al-Hakeem?

00:22:59 --> 00:23:01

Allah is all-knowing and is also what?

00:23:01 --> 00:23:02

All-wise.

00:23:03 --> 00:23:03

Right?

00:23:03 --> 00:23:06

Because everything that takes place my brothers and

00:23:06 --> 00:23:08

my sisters don't think that Allah subhanahu wa

00:23:08 --> 00:23:09

ta'ala is unaware.

00:23:13 --> 00:23:15

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala knows the deceptive

00:23:15 --> 00:23:18

eye and that which you hide within your

00:23:18 --> 00:23:18

heart.

00:23:20 --> 00:23:21

Allah knows that.

00:23:21 --> 00:23:22

Right?

00:23:23 --> 00:23:25

Something so small you may think Allah a

00:23:25 --> 00:23:27

.s. is fully aware of it.

00:23:28 --> 00:23:29

Right?

00:23:29 --> 00:23:31

When you go through those troubles and those

00:23:31 --> 00:23:36

hardships Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala chooses this

00:23:36 --> 00:23:40

for you based on his divine wisdom.

00:23:40 --> 00:23:42

It may not make sense to you my

00:23:42 --> 00:23:44

brothers and my sisters at the time but

00:23:44 --> 00:23:46

how many a time have we been in

00:23:46 --> 00:23:48

a situation or in a circumstance if that

00:23:48 --> 00:23:50

didn't happen I wouldn't have this today.

00:23:50 --> 00:23:50

Right?

00:23:52 --> 00:23:53

Especially when it comes to marriages.

00:23:53 --> 00:23:55

You desperately want Bushra.

00:23:56 --> 00:23:59

You do everything in your power now to

00:23:59 --> 00:24:00

get married to her.

00:24:00 --> 00:24:03

Everything you can possibly do.

00:24:04 --> 00:24:05

But it just doesn't seem to be happening.

00:24:06 --> 00:24:07

Right?

00:24:07 --> 00:24:08

And then you sit around feeling sorry for

00:24:08 --> 00:24:09

yourself.

00:24:09 --> 00:24:11

She is the only woman that can bring

00:24:11 --> 00:24:11

me happiness.

00:24:12 --> 00:24:12

Skin.

00:24:12 --> 00:24:13

Come on brothers.

00:24:14 --> 00:24:14

Right?

00:24:15 --> 00:24:16

Stop simping in.

00:24:16 --> 00:24:16

Huh?

00:24:17 --> 00:24:18

And get on your two feet.

00:24:20 --> 00:24:20

Right?

00:24:22 --> 00:24:23

And likewise for my sisters.

00:24:24 --> 00:24:26

You think he is the only guy in

00:24:26 --> 00:24:28

the world that will be able to give

00:24:28 --> 00:24:30

you that happiness and that satisfaction and that

00:24:30 --> 00:24:31

contentment that you are crying out for.

00:24:32 --> 00:24:34

Years go by my brothers and my sisters.

00:24:34 --> 00:24:35

Years.

00:24:36 --> 00:24:37

And then subhanAllah.

00:24:38 --> 00:24:38

Right?

00:24:39 --> 00:24:40

Allah blesses you with a husband or a

00:24:40 --> 00:24:43

wife with characteristics and qualities that the mind

00:24:43 --> 00:24:44

couldn't imagine.

00:24:45 --> 00:24:46

Now you say if that didn't happen I

00:24:46 --> 00:24:47

wouldn't have this today.

00:24:47 --> 00:24:47

Agreed?

00:24:49 --> 00:24:49

Right?

00:24:51 --> 00:24:53

It's something that I can personally relate to.

00:24:54 --> 00:24:54

Right?

00:24:54 --> 00:24:55

I'm sure a lot of you guys can

00:24:55 --> 00:24:56

relate to as well.

00:24:57 --> 00:24:59

Thinking that certain things were the best for

00:24:59 --> 00:24:59

you.

00:25:00 --> 00:25:03

And later on it began to make sense.

00:25:04 --> 00:25:05

And a lot of the time my brothers

00:25:05 --> 00:25:06

and my sisters it could be that it

00:25:06 --> 00:25:07

doesn't make sense to you.

00:25:08 --> 00:25:10

Like you're looking at what's happening in Palestine

00:25:10 --> 00:25:10

my brothers and my sisters.

00:25:11 --> 00:25:12

And you're thinking to yourself.

00:25:14 --> 00:25:17

And some non-Muslims are actually saying this.

00:25:18 --> 00:25:18

Right?

00:25:18 --> 00:25:21

And it's creeping into the doctrine of Muslims.

00:25:22 --> 00:25:25

This is why whenever I cover the issues

00:25:25 --> 00:25:26

of Al-Qadr.

00:25:27 --> 00:25:28

The predestination.

00:25:29 --> 00:25:30

I take a lot of time out to

00:25:30 --> 00:25:33

put things into perspective from this angle.

00:25:37 --> 00:25:38

Are you brothers and sisters with me?

00:25:46 --> 00:25:47

The point that I want you guys to

00:25:47 --> 00:25:49

walk away with my brothers and my sisters

00:25:52 --> 00:25:56

is that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala does

00:25:56 --> 00:25:58

not create anything that is purely evil.

00:26:00 --> 00:26:01

Okay, how?

00:26:02 --> 00:26:04

Ibn Taymiyyah rahmatullahi alayhi, by the way he

00:26:04 --> 00:26:06

passed away in the year 728.

00:26:06 --> 00:26:08

I'm Abu Taymiyyah, he's Ibn Taymiyyah.

00:26:08 --> 00:26:09

700 years ago.

00:26:10 --> 00:26:10

Right?

00:26:11 --> 00:26:13

Over 700 years ago.

00:26:13 --> 00:26:15

And he uttered statements Wallahi that will be

00:26:15 --> 00:26:17

a huge benefit for us in today's day

00:26:17 --> 00:26:17

and age.

00:26:18 --> 00:26:21

Directly extrapolated and deduced from none other than

00:26:21 --> 00:26:22

the book of Allah azza wa jal and

00:26:22 --> 00:26:23

his sunnah.

00:26:24 --> 00:26:25

Salawat wa rabbi wa salamu alayhi.

00:26:27 --> 00:26:33

He says There is nothing that is purely

00:26:33 --> 00:26:35

evil that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala creates.

00:26:35 --> 00:26:36

Nothing.

00:26:37 --> 00:26:39

In fact, that which you may consider as

00:26:39 --> 00:26:40

evil it is subjective.

00:26:42 --> 00:26:45

Tayyib Let's put the issue of Palestine now

00:26:45 --> 00:26:45

into perspective.

00:26:46 --> 00:26:49

Young, innocent, children.

00:26:49 --> 00:26:50

Right?

00:26:51 --> 00:26:53

Are being butchered and massacred.

00:26:54 --> 00:26:55

What good is in this?

00:26:56 --> 00:26:58

You're probably thinking Huh?

00:26:58 --> 00:26:59

Can anyone put this into perspective for me?

00:27:00 --> 00:27:01

Is there really any good from it?

00:27:02 --> 00:27:03

That will come out of this situation?

00:27:05 --> 00:27:06

Huh?

00:27:08 --> 00:27:10

They might get martyred and massacred.

00:27:10 --> 00:27:11

Jazakallah khair.

00:27:11 --> 00:27:11

Anyone else?

00:27:15 --> 00:27:17

You know my brothers and my sisters those

00:27:17 --> 00:27:19

innocent Muslims Right?

00:27:19 --> 00:27:21

They are having to pay for something that

00:27:21 --> 00:27:23

they didn't do.

00:27:23 --> 00:27:24

Right?

00:27:25 --> 00:27:27

What does Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala have

00:27:27 --> 00:27:27

waiting for them?

00:27:28 --> 00:27:30

In sha Allah wa ta'ala nothing other

00:27:30 --> 00:27:31

than the highest part of Jannah.

00:27:32 --> 00:27:32

Right?

00:27:33 --> 00:27:35

Sooner or later my brothers and my sisters

00:27:35 --> 00:27:37

we are going to depart from this world.

00:27:37 --> 00:27:37

Agreed?

00:27:38 --> 00:27:40

Whether it may be just a normal death.

00:27:40 --> 00:27:41

He didn't wake up.

00:27:41 --> 00:27:42

Maybe what?

00:27:42 --> 00:27:43

A car crash.

00:27:43 --> 00:27:46

And they are in a situation where they

00:27:46 --> 00:27:49

are able to acquire the best of endings.

00:27:49 --> 00:27:50

And that is in the way of Allah

00:27:50 --> 00:27:51

subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:27:53 --> 00:27:53

Shaheed.

00:27:54 --> 00:27:55

Right?

00:27:55 --> 00:27:57

The way you get killed my brothers and

00:27:57 --> 00:27:58

my sisters is just a means.

00:27:59 --> 00:27:59

Someone stabbed.

00:28:00 --> 00:28:00

Someone shot.

00:28:01 --> 00:28:01

Car crash.

00:28:01 --> 00:28:04

But when your time is up my brothers

00:28:04 --> 00:28:05

and my sisters, your time is up.

00:28:05 --> 00:28:06

It's written down.

00:28:07 --> 00:28:09

But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala وَيَتَّخِذَ مِنكُمْ

00:28:09 --> 00:28:13

شُهَدًا He chooses martyrs from amongst you.

00:28:14 --> 00:28:14

Right?

00:28:16 --> 00:28:18

This world that we live in my brothers

00:28:18 --> 00:28:20

and my sisters is filled with hardships and

00:28:20 --> 00:28:20

difficulties.

00:28:22 --> 00:28:24

Many people begin to wish Right?

00:28:24 --> 00:28:26

That I could just leave.

00:28:26 --> 00:28:28

خلاص And be at peace.

00:28:28 --> 00:28:29

And I can rest.

00:28:31 --> 00:28:33

The trials and tribulations of life are becoming

00:28:33 --> 00:28:35

too overwhelming for me to deal with.

00:28:36 --> 00:28:37

This is how a lot of people think.

00:28:38 --> 00:28:40

Let's look at it from a different perspective

00:28:40 --> 00:28:41

my brothers and my sisters.

00:28:41 --> 00:28:47

This whole Palestinian situation that happened How many

00:28:47 --> 00:28:49

millions of Muslims Not millions of Muslims.

00:28:50 --> 00:28:53

How many millions of non-Muslims ended up

00:28:53 --> 00:28:54

opening the book of Allah azza wa jal.

00:28:55 --> 00:28:57

Wallahi I saw Right?

00:28:59 --> 00:29:00

White ladies.

00:29:01 --> 00:29:01

White men.

00:29:01 --> 00:29:02

Right?

00:29:04 --> 00:29:06

Non-Muslims holding up the Mus'haf like

00:29:06 --> 00:29:08

this I'm going to read the whole Qur

00:29:08 --> 00:29:08

'an.

00:29:09 --> 00:29:12

Them being amazed and astonished at the tawakkul,

00:29:12 --> 00:29:16

the tawheed the monotheism, the reliance that some

00:29:16 --> 00:29:19

of these Palestinians have in Allah subhanahu wa

00:29:19 --> 00:29:19

ta'ala.

00:29:19 --> 00:29:20

How is it that they're so patient?

00:29:21 --> 00:29:22

Right?

00:29:22 --> 00:29:23

What are they relying on?

00:29:23 --> 00:29:25

What is giving them this inspiration?

00:29:26 --> 00:29:29

For them to continue like this with so

00:29:29 --> 00:29:32

much forbearance Where is this coming from?

00:29:34 --> 00:29:36

None other than the fact that they strengthen

00:29:36 --> 00:29:39

their belief my brothers and my sisters of

00:29:39 --> 00:29:41

the commandments Right?

00:29:41 --> 00:29:44

That is mentioned in none other than the

00:29:44 --> 00:29:45

book of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:29:46 --> 00:29:48

Wallahi how many videos did I come across

00:29:48 --> 00:29:50

of non-Muslims You've got a blonde lady

00:29:50 --> 00:29:50

holding what?

00:29:50 --> 00:29:52

The Qur'an like this I'm going to

00:29:52 --> 00:29:53

read it.

00:29:54 --> 00:29:54

Right?

00:29:54 --> 00:29:57

It's shocking Images my brothers and my sisters

00:29:57 --> 00:29:59

Something you would have maybe not ever expected

00:30:00 --> 00:30:02

Like also my brothers and my sisters Not

00:30:02 --> 00:30:03

so long ago I was reflecting on the

00:30:03 --> 00:30:05

whole Twitter X Right?

00:30:06 --> 00:30:10

In comparison to Instagram and Facebook As you

00:30:10 --> 00:30:11

guys are aware my brothers and my sisters

00:30:11 --> 00:30:14

You go on Instagram or Facebook and you

00:30:14 --> 00:30:17

try to upload certain videos or certain types

00:30:17 --> 00:30:19

of content They will shatter ban it.

00:30:19 --> 00:30:22

And they're stopping restrictions Right?

00:30:22 --> 00:30:28

On your social media applications Subhanallah Elon Musk

00:30:28 --> 00:30:31

Comes out of nowhere and decides to buy

00:30:31 --> 00:30:34

Twitter and changes it to X A lot

00:30:34 --> 00:30:35

of that which we were able to see

00:30:35 --> 00:30:37

Where did it come from my brothers and

00:30:37 --> 00:30:37

my sisters?

00:30:39 --> 00:30:39

Huh?

00:30:39 --> 00:30:40

Was it on Instagram mainly?

00:30:41 --> 00:30:41

Or was it on Twitter?

00:30:41 --> 00:30:43

It was mainly what?

00:30:43 --> 00:30:43

Huh?

00:30:44 --> 00:30:49

Being circulated on Twitter It reminded me of

00:30:49 --> 00:30:55

when the messenger of Allah said Allah subhanahu

00:30:55 --> 00:30:58

wa ta'ala will perhaps bring aid to

00:30:58 --> 00:31:02

the religion and assistance to it through a

00:31:02 --> 00:31:05

man that is Rashid He may use him

00:31:05 --> 00:31:07

Allah Azza wa Jal uses an individual now

00:31:07 --> 00:31:10

to bring to the Muslims that which is

00:31:10 --> 00:31:13

going to be beneficial for them Because our

00:31:13 --> 00:31:17

brothers and sisters being butchered being attacked Right?

00:31:17 --> 00:31:21

Every year a video would go around of

00:31:21 --> 00:31:22

them Right?

00:31:22 --> 00:31:26

Charging into Masjid Al-Aqsa and humiliating our

00:31:26 --> 00:31:28

brothers and sisters and then you have Muslims

00:31:28 --> 00:31:29

debating No, no, this was from maybe what?

00:31:29 --> 00:31:32

10 years ago This was from 5 years

00:31:32 --> 00:31:34

ago Nobody can tell as to what is

00:31:34 --> 00:31:39

exactly happening right now But this time round

00:31:39 --> 00:31:43

Subhanallah Twitter was filled with it We were

00:31:43 --> 00:31:46

able to see the reality on the ground

00:31:46 --> 00:31:47

Right?

00:31:48 --> 00:31:52

Being updated constantly Everything happens for a reason

00:31:54 --> 00:31:55

This is what we need to walk away

00:31:55 --> 00:31:58

with my brothers and my sisters Everything happens

00:31:58 --> 00:32:00

for a reason Whether you see the good

00:32:00 --> 00:32:03

in it or not Right?

00:32:07 --> 00:32:08

We fail my brothers and my sisters to

00:32:08 --> 00:32:12

accept that our intellects are limited This is

00:32:12 --> 00:32:14

very, very important brothers and sisters This doesn't

00:32:14 --> 00:32:16

make sense we turn around and say Right?

00:32:17 --> 00:32:18

How can this be?

00:32:19 --> 00:32:21

It doesn't fall in line with my wonderful

00:32:21 --> 00:32:23

intellect and the mind that I have been

00:32:23 --> 00:32:25

gifted with Right?

00:32:25 --> 00:32:29

It becomes deluded with this creation that Allah

00:32:29 --> 00:32:30

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala right?

00:32:30 --> 00:32:33

has put on this earth My brothers and

00:32:33 --> 00:32:35

my sisters can any of you guys see

00:32:35 --> 00:32:36

that which is happening on the other side

00:32:36 --> 00:32:37

of Hadith field?

00:32:38 --> 00:32:39

Forget about the other side of Hadith outside,

00:32:39 --> 00:32:40

can anyone see it?

00:32:41 --> 00:32:42

Can you hear that which is happening?

00:32:43 --> 00:32:43

Right?

00:32:44 --> 00:32:45

Can you smell that which is happening outside

00:32:45 --> 00:32:45

of the Masjid?

00:32:46 --> 00:32:52

No, you can't These body parts are all

00:32:52 --> 00:32:54

limited Why do you fail to accept that

00:32:54 --> 00:32:55

your intellect is limited as well?

00:32:56 --> 00:32:58

You've accepted all of these other body parts

00:32:58 --> 00:32:59

are limited Why not the intellect?

00:33:01 --> 00:33:01

Right?

00:33:02 --> 00:33:05

So everything happens for a reason At times

00:33:05 --> 00:33:07

we hear people saying You know this loving

00:33:07 --> 00:33:08

God Right?

00:33:08 --> 00:33:10

He's meant to be all merciful How is

00:33:10 --> 00:33:12

He allowing all of this to take place?

00:33:14 --> 00:33:17

The same way Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:33:17 --> 00:33:20

is all merciful and loving There's another side

00:33:20 --> 00:33:22

to Him as well Right?

00:33:22 --> 00:33:24

There's another side to Him which is Allah

00:33:24 --> 00:33:26

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Al Shadeed Al Iqab

00:33:27 --> 00:33:27

Right?

00:33:29 --> 00:33:33

He will be stern and you will endure

00:33:33 --> 00:33:36

a painful torment and punishment if you don't

00:33:36 --> 00:33:40

do what He tells you to do So

00:33:40 --> 00:33:42

with everything that is happening now and what

00:33:42 --> 00:33:44

Israel are doing now to our Palestinian brothers

00:33:44 --> 00:33:48

and sisters and then someone only uses the

00:33:48 --> 00:33:50

love and mercy of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta

00:33:50 --> 00:33:51

'ala Right?

00:33:53 --> 00:33:55

Doesn't someone need to deal with them as

00:33:55 --> 00:33:55

well?

00:33:56 --> 00:33:57

Right?

00:33:57 --> 00:34:00

They just live this life butchering and massacring

00:34:00 --> 00:34:03

all of these innocent young Muslims my brothers

00:34:03 --> 00:34:04

and my sisters and they're just going to

00:34:04 --> 00:34:05

get away with it?

00:34:05 --> 00:34:08

You understand now why Jannah and Hellfire has

00:34:08 --> 00:34:09

been created?

00:34:10 --> 00:34:12

Wallahi sometimes when I look at these images

00:34:12 --> 00:34:15

I think to myself Makes sense right?

00:34:15 --> 00:34:20

For anyone who's looking for sense People behaving

00:34:20 --> 00:34:22

in this manner and there's not going to

00:34:22 --> 00:34:24

be any accountability Come on ya Jama'ah

00:34:24 --> 00:34:24

Why?

00:34:24 --> 00:34:26

Because Allah Azzawajal is just merciful and He's

00:34:26 --> 00:34:28

loving and He's going to put all of

00:34:28 --> 00:34:28

them in Jannah?

00:34:31 --> 00:34:33

Yes without a shadow of a doubt Allah

00:34:33 --> 00:34:34

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is all loving He's

00:34:34 --> 00:34:37

all merciful filled with it my brothers and

00:34:37 --> 00:34:39

my sisters but at the same time He's

00:34:39 --> 00:34:42

just Wallahi dhulimu rabbuka ahada and Allah Azzawajal

00:34:42 --> 00:34:44

does not oppress anyone That's from His attributes

00:34:44 --> 00:34:49

my brothers and my sisters Hey my brothers

00:34:49 --> 00:34:51

and my sisters I have some of the

00:34:51 --> 00:34:54

statements of Ibn al-Qayyim Rahmatullahi Alayhi who

00:34:54 --> 00:34:56

passed away in the year 751 and also

00:34:56 --> 00:34:58

Ibn Taymiyyah who passed away in the year

00:34:58 --> 00:35:00

728 Right?

00:35:00 --> 00:35:03

Some very very powerful profound Right?

00:35:04 --> 00:35:07

Statements with regards to why one may be

00:35:07 --> 00:35:09

tested Right?

00:35:09 --> 00:35:11

and the hardships that are chosen for him

00:35:12 --> 00:35:14

and things will now begin to fall into

00:35:14 --> 00:35:15

perspective Right?

00:35:16 --> 00:35:18

Remember what I said earlier Faman arafa allaha

00:35:19 --> 00:35:21

Whoever learns about who Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta

00:35:21 --> 00:35:25

'ala is Ittasa alayhi kullu dhiq He will

00:35:25 --> 00:35:32

be relieved of all of his distresses Ibn

00:35:32 --> 00:35:34

al-Qayyim Rahmatullahi Alayhi says the following Idha

00:35:34 --> 00:35:38

aradallahu bi abdin khayran saqaahu dawa'an min

00:35:38 --> 00:35:41

al-ibtila'i wal-imtihaani ala qadri haali

00:35:41 --> 00:35:46

hatta idha hadhabahu wa naqaah wa saffahu ahalahu

00:35:46 --> 00:35:49

li ashrafi maratibi al-dunya wa hiya abudiya

00:35:49 --> 00:35:51

He says if Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:35:51 --> 00:35:55

wants goodness for an individual Right?

00:35:56 --> 00:35:59

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Right?

00:35:59 --> 00:36:01

saqaahu This term saqaah my brothers and my

00:36:01 --> 00:36:04

sisters you will use it when what?

00:36:04 --> 00:36:05

Does anyone know?

00:36:06 --> 00:36:07

saqaah where did it come from?

00:36:08 --> 00:36:13

yasqee You know when you're watering something Right?

00:36:13 --> 00:36:15

This term is used You're watering a plant

00:36:16 --> 00:36:18

or you're quenching the thirst of another You

00:36:18 --> 00:36:20

will say to someone Go and do saqee

00:36:20 --> 00:36:23

of so and so or isqee Right?

00:36:24 --> 00:36:26

Here this is the term that he used

00:36:26 --> 00:36:29

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Right?

00:36:31 --> 00:36:33

will quench him Maybe that's the best word

00:36:33 --> 00:36:35

to be using or to water him now

00:36:35 --> 00:36:40

with al-ibtila wal-imtihan with tests examinations

00:36:40 --> 00:36:44

trials and tribulations ala qadri halih in accordance

00:36:44 --> 00:36:46

to the kind of person that he is

00:36:46 --> 00:36:49

or how he's living his life hatta idha

00:36:49 --> 00:36:53

haddhabahu wa naqaahu wa saffahu ahala and then

00:36:53 --> 00:36:54

my brothers and my sisters when he's become

00:36:54 --> 00:36:59

purified he's been refined Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta

00:36:59 --> 00:37:02

'ala will make him suitable maratib al-ubudiyah

00:37:04 --> 00:37:04

Right?

00:37:05 --> 00:37:08

The greatest of levels and positions that one

00:37:08 --> 00:37:09

can reach and that is what?

00:37:09 --> 00:37:18

servitude ubudiyah and this person my brothers and

00:37:18 --> 00:37:20

my sisters will be rewarded with the highest

00:37:20 --> 00:37:21

form of reward and you know what that

00:37:21 --> 00:37:21

is?

00:37:22 --> 00:37:24

to see Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and

00:37:24 --> 00:37:28

to be close with him like I said

00:37:28 --> 00:37:30

my brothers and my sisters before every single

00:37:30 --> 00:37:31

one of us is trying to get to

00:37:31 --> 00:37:31

where?

00:37:32 --> 00:37:34

Al-Jannah and we want to be able

00:37:34 --> 00:37:36

to meet Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala in

00:37:36 --> 00:37:38

the best possible state Right?

00:37:39 --> 00:37:42

I sometimes tell brothers whose sins become exposed

00:37:42 --> 00:37:45

into the public you'd rather be exposed now

00:37:45 --> 00:37:47

than to meet Allah Azza wa Jal with

00:37:47 --> 00:37:50

a single sin Right?

00:37:50 --> 00:37:52

One sin to meet Allah Azza wa Jal

00:37:52 --> 00:37:54

I don't think my brothers and my sisters

00:37:54 --> 00:37:58

would want that so you are now tested

00:37:58 --> 00:38:02

and examined you go through these hardships did

00:38:02 --> 00:38:04

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala hate the Messenger

00:38:04 --> 00:38:06

of Allah A.S. when he made him

00:38:06 --> 00:38:09

lose 6 out of his 7 children did

00:38:09 --> 00:38:10

you guys know that?

00:38:11 --> 00:38:14

he lost 6 out of his 7 children

00:38:15 --> 00:38:15

Right?

00:38:17 --> 00:38:20

he was born and his father was in

00:38:20 --> 00:38:21

a line Right?

00:38:22 --> 00:38:24

and then his mother passed away and then

00:38:24 --> 00:38:27

his grandfather passed away and he lived with

00:38:27 --> 00:38:31

his uncle my brothers and my sisters all

00:38:31 --> 00:38:34

of that before he even reached the age

00:38:34 --> 00:38:40

of adolescence Subhanallah Right?

00:38:41 --> 00:38:42

that brings me my brothers and my sisters

00:38:42 --> 00:38:44

onto a very very powerful point of Ibn

00:38:44 --> 00:38:48

Al Qayyim ما كثر الله عبده المؤمن إلا

00:38:48 --> 00:38:54

ليجبره Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Right?

00:38:55 --> 00:38:56

when he causes you to go through these

00:38:56 --> 00:39:00

hardships and these difficulties and these trials Right?

00:39:01 --> 00:39:04

you might break you might snap but he

00:39:04 --> 00:39:06

only does that my brothers and my sisters

00:39:06 --> 00:39:10

so you can come back up stronger there

00:39:10 --> 00:39:11

are people that go through hardships my brothers

00:39:11 --> 00:39:13

and my sisters and they what?

00:39:13 --> 00:39:16

they weather the storm and then later on

00:39:16 --> 00:39:18

when it happens again Right?

00:39:18 --> 00:39:21

not a big issue small work they call

00:39:21 --> 00:39:24

it been through it before and now he's

00:39:24 --> 00:39:26

in a better position to be able to

00:39:26 --> 00:39:27

deal with it Right?

00:39:28 --> 00:39:29

become bulletproof صح?

00:39:30 --> 00:39:33

tests makes you like that in a different

00:39:33 --> 00:39:38

sense وَلَا مَنَعُهُ إِلَّا لِيُعْطِيَهِ Allah Azza wa

00:39:38 --> 00:39:40

Jal doesn't prevent you from something or doesn't

00:39:40 --> 00:39:42

take something away from you except so he

00:39:42 --> 00:39:44

can give you that which is better look

00:39:44 --> 00:39:46

at it like that and I gave you

00:39:46 --> 00:39:52

guys some examples earlier وَلَبْتَلَاهُ بِجَفَاءِ النَّاسِ إِلَّا

00:39:52 --> 00:39:55

لِيَرُدَّهُ إِلَيْهِ and sometimes he may cause the

00:39:55 --> 00:39:58

people around you to forsake you Right?

00:39:59 --> 00:40:01

they're very Right?

00:40:01 --> 00:40:03

distant from you all of a sudden now

00:40:03 --> 00:40:05

they're moving away so that you can return

00:40:05 --> 00:40:08

back to Allah SWT when you're in a

00:40:08 --> 00:40:10

position my brothers and my sisters when nobody

00:40:10 --> 00:40:12

can do anything from you you'll be left

00:40:12 --> 00:40:15

with no option except to directly return back

00:40:15 --> 00:40:18

to Allah SWT and this is what Allah

00:40:18 --> 00:40:21

Azza wa Jal loves in cases like this

00:40:21 --> 00:40:24

go directly to him ابنتي من رحمة الله

00:40:24 --> 00:40:27

عليه my brothers and my sisters and this

00:40:27 --> 00:40:29

may surprise you he says Right?

00:40:30 --> 00:40:33

المصائب نعمة you know the calamities that you

00:40:33 --> 00:40:37

go through they are indeed a blessing Right?

00:40:37 --> 00:40:39

please repeat this after me because I don't

00:40:39 --> 00:40:41

want you guys to ever forget this المصائب

00:40:41 --> 00:40:47

نعمة which means calamities are a blessing calamities

00:40:47 --> 00:40:49

are a blessing don't ever forget this my

00:40:49 --> 00:40:52

brothers and my sisters again it's how you

00:40:52 --> 00:40:55

look at these hardships and these difficulties that

00:40:55 --> 00:40:58

you may experience tweaking that a little and

00:40:58 --> 00:41:02

you will feel so much more better you

00:41:02 --> 00:41:03

will get on with your day in a

00:41:03 --> 00:41:07

positive way he says the calamities that you

00:41:07 --> 00:41:10

go through are indeed a blessing why?

00:41:10 --> 00:41:14

لأنها مكفرات للذنوب because it expiates your sins

00:41:15 --> 00:41:16

Right?

00:41:18 --> 00:41:20

these calamities and these hardships that we go

00:41:20 --> 00:41:24

through it's expiating one's sins even the thorn

00:41:24 --> 00:41:25

my brothers and my sisters as the Messenger

00:41:25 --> 00:41:29

of Allah ﷺ mentioned that you are hurt

00:41:29 --> 00:41:32

by you're walking in the forest these thorns

00:41:32 --> 00:41:35

that prickle at you Right?

00:41:36 --> 00:41:42

expiating your sins وَتَدْعُوا إِلَى الصَّبَرِ فَيُثَابُوا عَلَيْهَا

00:41:42 --> 00:41:44

it invites you to be patient Right?

00:41:45 --> 00:41:46

and patience my brothers and my sisters is

00:41:46 --> 00:41:48

one of the set few sins that have

00:41:48 --> 00:41:50

been mentioned in our Shari'ah that hasn't

00:41:50 --> 00:41:54

been limited to a particular reward it's been

00:41:54 --> 00:41:57

left open إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى الصَّابِرُونَ أَجْرٌ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

00:41:57 --> 00:41:59

and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said وَمَا

00:41:59 --> 00:42:03

أَعْطِيَ أَحَدٌ عَطَاعًا خَيْرًا وَأَوْسَعًا مِنَ الصَّبَرِ you

00:42:03 --> 00:42:05

haven't been gifted with anything that is more

00:42:05 --> 00:42:06

greater for you than what?

00:42:06 --> 00:42:08

than patience Right?

00:42:09 --> 00:42:11

to be patient is not an easy thing

00:42:11 --> 00:42:12

Right?

00:42:12 --> 00:42:14

but it comes with rewards that hasn't been

00:42:14 --> 00:42:17

limited to anything like you know when you

00:42:17 --> 00:42:19

do certain acts of worship if you do

00:42:19 --> 00:42:21

this you get this and if you do

00:42:21 --> 00:42:23

this you get that when it comes to

00:42:23 --> 00:42:26

patience it's not been limited to anything Right?

00:42:27 --> 00:42:29

because of how difficult it is and the

00:42:29 --> 00:42:31

more difficult something is the greater the reward

00:42:31 --> 00:42:35

my brothers and my sisters hmm it says

00:42:35 --> 00:42:39

وَتَخْتَضِ الْإِنَابَةِ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَالذُّلَّ لَهُ and what

00:42:39 --> 00:42:40

it leads to my brothers and my sisters

00:42:40 --> 00:42:41

as we already mentioned for you to turn

00:42:41 --> 00:42:43

back to Allah عز و جل and to

00:42:43 --> 00:42:47

humble yourselves in front of Him وَالإِعْرَاضِ عَنِ

00:42:47 --> 00:42:50

الْخَلْقِ إِلَى غَيْرِ ذَلِكِ مِنَ الْمَصَالِحِ الْعَظِيمَةِ and

00:42:50 --> 00:42:52

turning away from the creation this is my

00:42:52 --> 00:42:56

favorite part of the topic of calamities and

00:42:56 --> 00:42:58

tests and tribulations Right?

00:42:59 --> 00:43:01

you are left in a position nobody can

00:43:01 --> 00:43:03

do anything for you you are left with

00:43:03 --> 00:43:06

no option to go to Allah سبحانه وتعالى

00:43:06 --> 00:43:08

in a state of humility you break down

00:43:08 --> 00:43:10

in front of Him and you utter these

00:43:10 --> 00:43:14

words يا الله you are the only one

00:43:14 --> 00:43:16

that can help me in this situation Allah

00:43:16 --> 00:43:20

سبحانه وتعالى loves that and when you look

00:43:20 --> 00:43:21

at the creation my brothers and my sisters

00:43:22 --> 00:43:24

it's only a matter of time before they

00:43:24 --> 00:43:26

grow sick and tired of you complaining to

00:43:26 --> 00:43:29

them خلاص man, get over it Right?

00:43:29 --> 00:43:31

this guy is always complaining this is how

00:43:31 --> 00:43:34

the creation is or when you keep asking

00:43:34 --> 00:43:36

them خلاص I gave it to you the

00:43:36 --> 00:43:38

first time this is how they respond but

00:43:38 --> 00:43:40

Allah loves for you to constantly go back

00:43:40 --> 00:43:43

to Him مَنْ لَمْ يَسْأَلِ اللَّهِ يَغْضَبْ عَلَيْهِ

00:43:43 --> 00:43:44

as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ told us

00:43:44 --> 00:43:48

you don't ask Allah, He becomes angry that's

00:43:48 --> 00:43:49

the difference between my brothers and my sisters

00:43:49 --> 00:43:54

ابن القيم رحمة الله عليه my brothers and

00:43:54 --> 00:43:57

my sisters he also says and I really

00:43:57 --> 00:44:00

really like this one he says لَوْ لَا

00:44:00 --> 00:44:05

مِحَنُ الدُّنْيَا وَمَصَائِبُهَا لَأَصَابَ الْعَبْدُ مِنْ أَدْوَاءِ الْكِبْرِ

00:44:05 --> 00:44:09

وَالْعُجْبِ وَالْفَرْعَنَةِ وَقَسْوَةِ الْقَلْبِ if it wasn't for

00:44:09 --> 00:44:12

these calamities and these hardships that you are

00:44:12 --> 00:44:13

struck with Right?

00:44:14 --> 00:44:19

he says the عبد this human being he

00:44:19 --> 00:44:21

would become afflicted with arrogance and self amazement

00:44:23 --> 00:44:26

وَالْفَرْعَنَةِ he will also start picking up فِرْعَوْنِ

00:44:26 --> 00:44:28

we all know pharaoh right?

00:44:29 --> 00:44:31

from the قِصْةَ مُوسَى these kind of characteristics

00:44:31 --> 00:44:35

of فِرْعَوْن and your heart begins to start

00:44:35 --> 00:44:38

hurting Right?

00:44:39 --> 00:44:44

ما هو سَبَبُ هَلَاكِ عَاجِلًا وَآجِلًا which will

00:44:44 --> 00:44:46

lead to his destruction my beloved brothers and

00:44:46 --> 00:44:49

sisters you know how many a time my

00:44:49 --> 00:44:50

brothers and my sisters I hear you saying

00:44:50 --> 00:44:52

right if it wasn't for these calamities one

00:44:52 --> 00:44:54

would be struck with arrogance how many a

00:44:54 --> 00:44:57

time have I seen someone my brothers and

00:44:57 --> 00:44:59

my sisters with a lot of money the

00:44:59 --> 00:45:01

way he's speaking to others the way he's

00:45:01 --> 00:45:03

engaging with them the way he looks down

00:45:03 --> 00:45:06

at them and then he's struck with a

00:45:06 --> 00:45:10

calamity left with nothing والله his attitude and

00:45:10 --> 00:45:13

his behavior before the people will change I

00:45:13 --> 00:45:16

remember there was a situation سبحان الله Right?

00:45:16 --> 00:45:18

I don't think in a very long time

00:45:18 --> 00:45:21

I felt as disgusted as I did in

00:45:21 --> 00:45:24

that sitting every time this guy opened his

00:45:24 --> 00:45:28

mouth I couldn't stand it and he had

00:45:28 --> 00:45:31

a lot of money and then he was

00:45:31 --> 00:45:34

struck with some hardship difficulty he gave all

00:45:34 --> 00:45:36

of his money to another guy invested it

00:45:36 --> 00:45:41

in some sort of Ponzi scheme later on

00:45:41 --> 00:45:43

this same individual my brothers and my sisters

00:45:43 --> 00:45:45

you know what he sent to me a

00:45:45 --> 00:45:48

GoFundMe page please can you send it around

00:45:48 --> 00:45:51

I'm in a difficult state Right?

00:45:52 --> 00:45:54

so much more time that he's giving you

00:45:54 --> 00:45:58

now responding back to the messages so much

00:45:58 --> 00:46:01

more quicker than once upon a time this

00:46:01 --> 00:46:03

is what calamities can do to an individual

00:46:03 --> 00:46:05

it brings you back down to earth because

00:46:05 --> 00:46:07

I don't think anyone here wants to meet

00:46:07 --> 00:46:09

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala with a single

00:46:09 --> 00:46:11

sin Right?

00:46:11 --> 00:46:16

as I already mentioned let alone الكبر arrogance

00:46:17 --> 00:46:18

Messenger of Allah ﷺ he said لا يدخل

00:46:18 --> 00:46:21

الجنة من كان في قلبه مثقال ذرة من

00:46:21 --> 00:46:24

كبر if you have a mustard grain of

00:46:24 --> 00:46:26

arrogance in your heart you will not enter

00:46:26 --> 00:46:29

into الجنة the ultimate paradise that we're all

00:46:29 --> 00:46:37

trying to reach and then he says فَمِن

00:46:37 --> 00:46:41

رَحْمَةِ أَرْحَمِ الرَّاحِمِينَ أَن يَتَفَقَدُهُ فِي الْأَحْيَانِ بِأَنْوَاعٍ

00:46:41 --> 00:46:44

مِنْ أَدْوِيَةِ الْمَصَائِبِ تَكُونُ حَمِيَّةً لَهُ مِنْ هَذِي

00:46:44 --> 00:46:47

الْأَدْوَاءِ and then he says from the mercy

00:46:47 --> 00:46:48

of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala the most

00:46:48 --> 00:46:51

compassionate the most merciful Right?

00:46:51 --> 00:46:53

this is key here out of all the

00:46:53 --> 00:46:55

names that Ibn Taymiyyah could have used he

00:46:55 --> 00:46:58

used the name of Allah عز و جل

00:46:58 --> 00:46:58

Right?

00:46:59 --> 00:47:02

أَرْحَمِ الرَّاحِمِينَ or the sifah the attribute the

00:47:02 --> 00:47:08

most merciful of those who show mercy Yes

00:47:08 --> 00:47:11

Allah allows this to take place because Allah

00:47:11 --> 00:47:12

is being merciful to him but you don't

00:47:12 --> 00:47:14

seem to be understanding it is not falling

00:47:14 --> 00:47:16

into perspective for you because you don't understand

00:47:16 --> 00:47:19

Allah and how he operates Right?

00:47:19 --> 00:47:22

and this is actually what is best for

00:47:22 --> 00:47:25

him at this moment in time he says

00:47:25 --> 00:47:28

from the blessings of Allah subhanahu wa ta

00:47:28 --> 00:47:31

'ala and the ways that Allah shows mercy

00:47:31 --> 00:47:34

to this individual is that he causes him

00:47:34 --> 00:47:37

at times to go through these calamities and

00:47:37 --> 00:47:41

hardships so that he can remain in check

00:47:44 --> 00:47:49

keeps his feet on the ground so that

00:47:49 --> 00:47:50

he can protect him from all of the

00:47:50 --> 00:47:54

aforementioned and last but not least my brothers

00:47:54 --> 00:48:05

and my sisters on this point Ibn

00:48:05 --> 00:48:08

Al-Qayyim says I quote Ibn Al-Qayyim

00:48:08 --> 00:48:10

a lot why is that?

00:48:11 --> 00:48:13

Allah and my brothers and my sisters one

00:48:13 --> 00:48:18

of the most learned and educated when it

00:48:18 --> 00:48:20

comes to some of these issues was Ibn

00:48:20 --> 00:48:24

Al-Qayyim from amongst the classical scholars he

00:48:24 --> 00:48:26

has a whole kitab عِدَّةُ الصَّابِرِينَ وَالذَّخِيرَةُ الشَّاكِرِينَ

00:48:27 --> 00:48:27

Right?

00:48:28 --> 00:48:30

where he talks about patience and being thankful

00:48:31 --> 00:48:31

Right?

00:48:32 --> 00:48:33

and how one half is patience and the

00:48:33 --> 00:48:37

other half of what is being thankful Ibn

00:48:37 --> 00:48:40

Al-Qayyim he also says فَلَوْ لَأَنَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ

00:48:40 --> 00:48:43

يُدَاوِي عِبَادَهُ بِأَدْوِيَةِ الْمِحَنِ وَالْإِبْتِلَاءِ لَطَغَوْا وَبَغَوْا

00:48:43 --> 00:48:47

وَعَتَوْا وَاللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَ إِذَا أَرَادَ بِعَبْدِهِ خَيْرًا

00:48:47 --> 00:48:52

سَقَاهُ دَوَاءً مِنَ الْإِبْتِلَاءِ وَالْإِمْتِحَانِ عَلَىٰ قَدْرِ حَالِهِ

00:48:52 --> 00:48:55

يَسْتَغْفِرِغُ مِنَ الْأَدْوَاءِ الْمُهْلِكَةِ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا هَذَّبَهُ

00:48:55 --> 00:49:00

وَنَقَّاهُ وَصَفَّاهُ أَهَلَهُ لِأَشْرَفِ الْمَرَاتِبِ Very similar to

00:49:00 --> 00:49:02

what you mentioned my brothers and my sisters

00:49:02 --> 00:49:05

The second part of this lecture my brothers

00:49:05 --> 00:49:06

and my sisters I want to mention Inshallah

00:49:06 --> 00:49:22

Ta'ala If

00:49:22 --> 00:49:24

we look at the battle of Uhud my

00:49:24 --> 00:49:29

brothers and my sisters Quraish, the disbelievers, they

00:49:29 --> 00:49:32

wanted revenge after what happened in the battle

00:49:32 --> 00:49:37

of Badr They wanted to win back the

00:49:37 --> 00:49:41

reputation as one of the most feared tribes

00:49:41 --> 00:49:44

in the Arabian Peninsula A group of these

00:49:44 --> 00:49:50

Mohammedans, these Bedouins defeated you This is what

00:49:50 --> 00:49:55

was spreading within the Arabian Peninsula They were

00:49:55 --> 00:49:58

small in number and they were able to

00:49:58 --> 00:50:00

take you out So they wanted to win

00:50:00 --> 00:50:04

back their reputation And also to make their

00:50:04 --> 00:50:08

pathways back and forth To where they would

00:50:08 --> 00:50:15

trade and make money from, safe again Now

00:50:15 --> 00:50:19

they feared, after what happened they may attack

00:50:19 --> 00:50:21

us and so on and so forth Even

00:50:21 --> 00:50:25

though it was them that started But they

00:50:25 --> 00:50:28

lost كَمْ مِنْ فِئَةٍ قَلِيلَةٍ غَلَبَتْ فِئَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ

00:50:28 --> 00:50:31

Muslims they were small in number and even

00:50:31 --> 00:50:33

then they defeated them Comes the battle of

00:50:33 --> 00:50:40

Uhud in the third year after Hijrah Quraish

00:50:40 --> 00:50:46

my brothers and my sisters and the Mushriks

00:50:47 --> 00:50:51

They approached Medina And the Messenger of Allah,

00:50:52 --> 00:50:54

peace be upon him, through his intel Received

00:50:54 --> 00:50:59

this information and then readied his army There

00:50:59 --> 00:51:02

were approximately a thousand soldiers that were headed

00:51:02 --> 00:51:05

towards the battlefield A third of them, my

00:51:05 --> 00:51:08

brothers and my sisters, they ended up Leaving

00:51:08 --> 00:51:11

the Muslims as they were on their way

00:51:11 --> 00:51:17

to the battlefield Who influenced this, my brothers

00:51:17 --> 00:51:18

and my sisters, does anyone know?

00:51:21 --> 00:51:24

Why did a third, they were already going

00:51:24 --> 00:51:24

to be what?

00:51:25 --> 00:51:28

Short in number But then a third completely

00:51:28 --> 00:51:29

what?

00:51:29 --> 00:51:32

Turns their backs and returns back to their

00:51:32 --> 00:51:35

homes Does anyone know what was the reason

00:51:35 --> 00:51:35

of that?

00:51:39 --> 00:51:40

Ihsan, what's your name?

00:51:43 --> 00:51:46

Hamza, may Allah bless you Abdullah ibn Ubayy

00:51:46 --> 00:51:50

ibn Salul Began to cause doubt and spread

00:51:50 --> 00:51:53

confusion within the ranks of the Muslims A

00:51:53 --> 00:51:57

third ended up leaving with him And then

00:51:57 --> 00:52:00

the Muslims upon approaching the battlefield The Messenger

00:52:00 --> 00:52:02

of Allah, peace be upon him, he split

00:52:02 --> 00:52:05

his army into two Fifty of them he

00:52:05 --> 00:52:09

placed them on the mountain called Jabal Rumah

00:52:10 --> 00:52:13

Anyone on top of this mountain can see

00:52:13 --> 00:52:17

That was just happening on the battlefield Fifty

00:52:17 --> 00:52:19

of them and placed Abdullah ibn Ubayy in

00:52:19 --> 00:52:23

charge of them And told them no matter

00:52:23 --> 00:52:27

what happens, don't come off this mountain Even

00:52:27 --> 00:52:29

if you see, subhanAllah, eagles, you know eagles?

00:52:30 --> 00:52:32

Snatching the soldiers off the ground, don't come

00:52:32 --> 00:52:40

off The battle started, my brothers and my

00:52:40 --> 00:52:47

sisters And the Mushriks began to run Those

00:52:47 --> 00:52:48

who are on this mountain, my brothers and

00:52:48 --> 00:52:52

my sisters, that were commanded Don't get off

00:52:52 --> 00:52:55

no matter what happens They began to argue

00:52:55 --> 00:52:58

amongst themselves And this is what is mentioned

00:52:58 --> 00:53:03

in Surah Ali Imran وَتَنَازَعْتُمْ فِي الْأَمْرِ وَعَصَيْتُمْ

00:53:03 --> 00:53:05

مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا أَرَاكُمْ مَا تُحِبُّونَ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ

00:53:05 --> 00:53:10

يُرِيدُ الدُّنْيَا وَمِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُرِيدُ الْآخِرَةِ They began

00:53:10 --> 00:53:13

to argue amongst themselves خَلَاس!

00:53:14 --> 00:53:14

Right?

00:53:15 --> 00:53:15

It's finished!

00:53:16 --> 00:53:17

الغنيمة!

00:53:17 --> 00:53:17

الغنيمة!

00:53:17 --> 00:53:18

There's the war booty!

00:53:18 --> 00:53:19

Let's go!

00:53:20 --> 00:53:21

Right?

00:53:21 --> 00:53:28

They began to dispute amongst themselves Some of

00:53:28 --> 00:53:32

them began charging towards the war booty They

00:53:32 --> 00:53:34

went against the commandment of the Messenger ﷺ

00:53:37 --> 00:53:39

This resulted, my brothers and my sisters, in

00:53:39 --> 00:53:44

the Messenger ﷺ's helmet being crushed His face

00:53:44 --> 00:53:49

being gashed, and his tooth being broken Doubts

00:53:49 --> 00:53:51

began to spread within the ranks of the

00:53:51 --> 00:53:55

Muslims And rumors that the Messenger ﷺ had

00:53:55 --> 00:53:58

been killed And it really shook the Muslims

00:54:03 --> 00:54:05

Khalid bin Walid, my brothers and my sisters,

00:54:06 --> 00:54:09

noticed that those Muslims who were on this

00:54:09 --> 00:54:11

mountain started running off So what did he

00:54:11 --> 00:54:11

do?

00:54:12 --> 00:54:15

He went around and then began to hit

00:54:15 --> 00:54:21

the Muslims from the back وَعَصَيْتُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ

00:54:21 --> 00:54:24

مَا أَرَاكُمْ مَا تُحِبُّونَ Allah says, you disobeyed

00:54:24 --> 00:54:26

him after he showed you that which you

00:54:26 --> 00:54:31

love Those on the battlefield, my brothers and

00:54:31 --> 00:54:32

my sisters, did they do anything wrong?

00:54:33 --> 00:54:35

Did the Messenger ﷺ do anything wrong?

00:54:36 --> 00:54:40

No, he didn't But because of what a

00:54:40 --> 00:54:44

set few had committed, it ended up affecting

00:54:44 --> 00:54:49

everyone This is a very very important point,

00:54:49 --> 00:54:51

my brothers and my sisters, to take into

00:54:51 --> 00:54:55

consideration It could be because of something that

00:54:55 --> 00:54:59

I do Me as Abu Taymiyyah, Muslims on

00:54:59 --> 00:55:01

the other side of the world end up

00:55:01 --> 00:55:06

becoming affected This is why Islam, my brothers

00:55:06 --> 00:55:08

and my sisters, they keep us on our

00:55:08 --> 00:55:11

toes It teaches us to be self-critical

00:55:12 --> 00:55:14

To do things the right way, my brothers

00:55:14 --> 00:55:20

and my sisters This doesn't mean that we

00:55:20 --> 00:55:24

uplift the blame from oppressors لا أبدا But

00:55:24 --> 00:55:26

things like this, my brothers and my sisters,

00:55:26 --> 00:55:28

when they unfold right before your eyes It

00:55:28 --> 00:55:30

should cause us to come back to our

00:55:30 --> 00:55:34

religion Allah says in the Quran وَاتَّقُوا فِتْنَةً

00:55:34 --> 00:55:39

لَا تُصِيبَنَّ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْكُمْ خَاصَةً Beware of

00:55:39 --> 00:55:44

this fitna This calamity that is not just

00:55:44 --> 00:55:50

exclusive for the oppressors, the aggravators When the

00:55:50 --> 00:55:51

calamity hits, it's not just going to hit

00:55:51 --> 00:55:56

them Because of what the oppressors do, innocent

00:55:56 --> 00:56:00

people may well have to suffer It's mentioned

00:56:00 --> 00:56:06

in the Quran وَعَلَمَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدًا It

00:56:06 --> 00:56:11

led to Hamza Ibn Abdul Muttalib, the uncle

00:56:11 --> 00:56:13

of the Messenger of Allah Mus'ab Ibn

00:56:13 --> 00:56:17

Umair, my brothers and my sisters Who was

00:56:17 --> 00:56:19

in his twenties, but the Messenger of Allah

00:56:19 --> 00:56:22

chose for him to be the flag bearer

00:56:22 --> 00:56:24

You know the flag that you have to

00:56:24 --> 00:56:24

hold?

00:56:24 --> 00:56:28

When the war is taking place, this individual

00:56:28 --> 00:56:30

now being killed Who is holding the flag

00:56:30 --> 00:56:33

is an indication that they've all but lost

00:56:36 --> 00:56:40

His right hand was struck, subhanAllah And then

00:56:40 --> 00:56:41

he began to hold onto it with his

00:56:41 --> 00:56:43

left And then his left hand was struck,

00:56:43 --> 00:56:47

and he was holding it like this As

00:56:47 --> 00:56:48

he's holding onto it, my brothers and my

00:56:48 --> 00:56:53

sisters He is trying to eliminate all of

00:56:53 --> 00:56:55

these rumors that are being spread about the

00:56:55 --> 00:57:01

Messenger of Allah having been killed So that

00:57:01 --> 00:57:03

they can continue to remain inspired to do

00:57:03 --> 00:57:09

the right thing So keep this in mind,

00:57:09 --> 00:57:12

my brothers and my sisters Our hands have

00:57:12 --> 00:57:14

been tied There's only so much that we

00:57:14 --> 00:57:17

can do for our brothers and sisters The

00:57:17 --> 00:57:18

best thing that we can do now, my

00:57:18 --> 00:57:20

brothers and my sisters As we are approaching

00:57:20 --> 00:57:23

the end of times We love this topic

00:57:23 --> 00:57:27

and it gets us excited When craziness hits

00:57:27 --> 00:57:29

the fan, my brothers and my sisters And

00:57:29 --> 00:57:32

the lines are drawn and the sides have

00:57:32 --> 00:57:36

been chosen And we don't even know how

00:57:36 --> 00:57:38

to pray What are we going to do,

00:57:38 --> 00:57:39

my brothers and my sisters?

00:57:42 --> 00:57:44

The lines have been drawn and the sides

00:57:44 --> 00:57:48

have been chosen What are you going to

00:57:48 --> 00:57:48

do as a Muslim?

00:57:49 --> 00:57:51

And we don't even know the basics of

00:57:51 --> 00:57:55

our religion We're running around committing haram with

00:57:55 --> 00:58:00

shale And whatever other craziness that we are

00:58:00 --> 00:58:07

up to And last but not least, my

00:58:07 --> 00:58:10

brothers and my sisters Components that cause weakness

00:58:13 --> 00:58:15

And there's a number of points, my brothers

00:58:15 --> 00:58:18

and my sisters That will come under this

00:58:18 --> 00:58:20

inshallah and then we are done Is that

00:58:20 --> 00:58:20

right?

00:58:20 --> 00:58:27

I call Sheikh Shafiq, Uncle Shafiq Right?

00:58:29 --> 00:58:31

There is a story behind it We were

00:58:31 --> 00:58:33

messaging each other for a long time For

00:58:33 --> 00:58:36

some reason I thought Sheikh Shafiq was very

00:58:36 --> 00:58:37

very old in age But you look at

00:58:37 --> 00:58:45

him, Allahumma Barik Very young, Allah Akbar So

00:58:45 --> 00:58:47

some of the components, my brothers and my

00:58:47 --> 00:58:49

sisters That contribute to the weakness of the

00:58:49 --> 00:58:58

Muslim Ummah The first point I'm going to

00:58:58 --> 00:58:59

mention, my brothers and my sisters Is that

00:58:59 --> 00:59:03

which relates to sins and the spread of

00:59:03 --> 00:59:08

misguidance And not doing enough to counter it

00:59:11 --> 00:59:14

Ibn Taymiyyah says the following, my brothers and

00:59:14 --> 00:59:24

my sisters Every time, my brothers and my

00:59:24 --> 00:59:30

sisters Those who call to Allah Azzawajal Right?

00:59:30 --> 00:59:34

Become weak in spreading the prophetic tradition You

00:59:34 --> 00:59:36

will see the opposite of that becoming widespread

00:59:38 --> 00:59:40

Every single one of us, my brothers and

00:59:40 --> 00:59:43

my sisters Has a responsibility Right?

00:59:43 --> 00:59:46

To repel the evil and the misguidance that

00:59:46 --> 00:59:49

is being spread In today's day and age,

00:59:49 --> 00:59:51

we have these modern day ideologies That is

00:59:51 --> 00:59:57

stripping Muslims of their Muslim identity Agreed?

00:59:58 --> 00:59:58

Right?

00:59:59 --> 01:00:02

The universities have become breeding grounds for kufr,

01:00:02 --> 01:00:07

shirk Feminism, liberalism, this-ism and schism And

01:00:07 --> 01:00:09

of course the rainbow team are extremely active

01:00:11 --> 01:00:12

Right?

01:00:13 --> 01:00:17

Shoving what they believe down our throats And

01:00:17 --> 01:00:19

we have no answers to repel these doubts

01:00:19 --> 01:00:22

That are penetrating and piercing into our hearts

01:00:22 --> 01:00:25

My brothers and my sisters And because one

01:00:25 --> 01:00:28

doesn't have the answers to the doubts That

01:00:28 --> 01:00:31

are being thrown in his direction He begins

01:00:31 --> 01:00:34

to think about leaving the religion of Islam

01:00:34 --> 01:00:37

Or begins to question and object and contest

01:00:37 --> 01:00:44

The commandments and prohibitions in the Quran I

01:00:44 --> 01:00:46

always say this, the young brothers and sisters

01:00:46 --> 01:00:48

at university Just because you don't have the

01:00:48 --> 01:00:51

answers That doesn't mean there aren't any answers

01:00:52 --> 01:00:53

Right?

01:00:53 --> 01:00:54

I'll say that again Sounds like something you

01:00:54 --> 01:00:55

put on Twitter, huh?

01:00:56 --> 01:00:58

Just because you don't have the answers That

01:00:58 --> 01:01:02

doesn't mean there aren't any answers وَفَوْقَ كُلِّ

01:01:02 --> 01:01:05

ذِي عِلْمٍ عَلِيمٍ Above every individual that carries

01:01:05 --> 01:01:09

knowledge Is someone who is more knowledgeable Right?

01:01:10 --> 01:01:11

Anyone here doing engineering?

01:01:13 --> 01:01:14

Which year are you in?

01:01:16 --> 01:01:18

Qualified engineering Now we need someone at university

01:01:18 --> 01:01:19

You're at university?

01:01:20 --> 01:01:22

First year Do you know everything about engineering?

01:01:22 --> 01:01:25

If I asked you some questions about engineering

01:01:25 --> 01:01:28

Would you be able to answer everything?

01:01:28 --> 01:01:29

You wouldn't, right?

01:01:31 --> 01:01:34

Would it cross your mind now to Perhaps

01:01:34 --> 01:01:36

leave your university course Because you didn't have

01:01:36 --> 01:01:37

the answers To some of these questions I

01:01:37 --> 01:01:38

would pose to you?

01:01:39 --> 01:01:40

That would be very dumb to do, right?

01:01:42 --> 01:01:43

Likewise my brothers and sisters When it comes

01:01:43 --> 01:01:46

to Islam You haven't gone out of your

01:01:46 --> 01:01:48

way to learn about your religion Right?

01:01:49 --> 01:01:50

Why would you think about leaving it When

01:01:50 --> 01:01:51

you don't have the answers?

01:01:51 --> 01:01:55

Go and ask somebody Are you brothers and

01:01:55 --> 01:01:56

sisters with me?

01:01:58 --> 01:02:03

Ibn Taymiyyah He also says فَلَمَّا ظَهَرَتْ تَوْحِيدُ

01:02:03 --> 01:02:11

هَرَبَتْ الشَّيَاطِينُ هَرَبَتْ الشَّيَاطِينُ When Tawheed was established

01:02:11 --> 01:02:17

The shayateen began to run away وَبَطُلَتْ أو

01:02:17 --> 01:02:21

قَلَّتْ It either was eliminated altogether Or it

01:02:21 --> 01:02:24

began to reduce To become less and less

01:02:25 --> 01:02:27

But somebody has to go and teach the

01:02:27 --> 01:02:27

people, right?

01:02:28 --> 01:02:29

And if we don't know my brothers and

01:02:29 --> 01:02:30

sisters Who is going to do that?

01:02:32 --> 01:02:34

Teaching the people about the monotheism That which

01:02:34 --> 01:02:37

is most important to them More than everything

01:02:37 --> 01:02:43

else ثُمَّ إِنَّهَا تَظْهَرُ فِي الْمَوَاضِعِ الَّتِي يَخْفَى

01:02:43 --> 01:02:46

فِيهَا أَثْرُ التَّوْحِيدِ You will see my brothers

01:02:46 --> 01:02:48

and sisters The shayateen gravitating towards the places

01:02:48 --> 01:02:54

that Lacks the monotheism Lacks Islamic faith Right?

01:02:56 --> 01:02:58

When I say lacks Tawheed Lacks Islamic faith

01:02:58 --> 01:03:00

my brothers and sisters It could be that

01:03:00 --> 01:03:03

we are Muslims But we don't know anything

01:03:03 --> 01:03:05

about our religion Right?

01:03:05 --> 01:03:08

We barely practice Right?

01:03:08 --> 01:03:10

Salah is not being established Doing what Allah

01:03:10 --> 01:03:12

told us to do Is not being carried

01:03:12 --> 01:03:14

out We are what?

01:03:15 --> 01:03:21

Indulged in sins Engraved in it Ibn Taymiyyah

01:03:21 --> 01:03:24

also says إِذَا قَطَعَ عَنِ النَّاسِ نُورُ النُّبُوَّةِ

01:03:24 --> 01:03:29

وَقَعُوا فِي الْفِتَنِ وَحَدَثَتِ الْبِدَعِ وَالفُجُورِ وَوَقَعَ الشَّرُّ

01:03:29 --> 01:03:32

بَيْنَهُمْ He says When the people now become

01:03:32 --> 01:03:37

disconnected From the prophetic tradition Right?

01:03:38 --> 01:03:41

The light of prophecy They become distant from

01:03:41 --> 01:03:44

it He says the following will happen Fitan

01:03:44 --> 01:03:45

Right?

01:03:46 --> 01:03:52

Temptations Problems Innovations will become widespread And then

01:03:52 --> 01:03:57

evil begins to start happening between them They

01:03:57 --> 01:04:10

will start fighting with one another Also

01:04:10 --> 01:04:18

my brothers and my sisters Ibn Taymiyyah mentioned

01:04:18 --> 01:04:26

some very daring realities He says فَلَمَّا ظَهَرَ

01:04:26 --> 01:04:33

فِي الشَّامِ وَمِصْرِ وَالجَزِيرَ الإِلْحَادُ وَالبِدَعُ سُلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمُ

01:04:33 --> 01:04:38

الْكُفَّارُ وَلَمَّا أَقَامُوا مَا أَقَامُوهُ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَقَهْرِ

01:04:38 --> 01:04:42

الْمُلْحِدِينَ وَالْمُبْتَدِعِينَ نَصْرَهُمَ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْكُفَّارِ By the

01:04:42 --> 01:04:43

way like I said he passed away over

01:04:43 --> 01:04:46

700 years ago But when he speaks subhanAllah

01:04:46 --> 01:04:48

at times you think He is living amongst

01:04:48 --> 01:04:49

us because of what?

01:04:50 --> 01:04:50

Right?

01:04:50 --> 01:04:54

How profound some of his advices were Right?

01:04:54 --> 01:04:55

So he doesn't have a horse in the

01:04:55 --> 01:05:04

race He says when in Sham, Egypt, the

01:05:04 --> 01:05:08

Jazeera, the Arabian Peninsula Ilhad, rejecting Allah subhanahu

01:05:08 --> 01:05:11

wa ta'ala became prominent and widespread And

01:05:11 --> 01:05:13

innovations became prevalent Right?

01:05:14 --> 01:05:19

The Kuffar eventually ended up overpowering them And

01:05:19 --> 01:05:20

then he says when they began to establish

01:05:20 --> 01:05:24

Islam وَقَهْرِ الْمُلْحِدِينَ Right?

01:05:25 --> 01:05:27

And debunking Right?

01:05:27 --> 01:05:31

And rebuking the doubts of these Mulhids These

01:05:31 --> 01:05:33

people who reject Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

01:05:33 --> 01:05:36

And the innovators نَصْرَهُمَ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْكُفَارِ Allah

01:05:36 --> 01:05:38

subhanahu wa ta'ala gave them victory over

01:05:38 --> 01:05:40

the disbelievers He also says something else My

01:05:40 --> 01:05:45

brothers and my sister are extremely profound وَكَذَلِكَ

01:05:45 --> 01:05:49

لَمَّا كَانَ أَهْلُ الْمَشْرِقِ قَائِمِينَ بِالإِسْلَامِ كَانُوا مَنْصُورِينَ

01:05:49 --> 01:05:54

عَلَى الْكُفَّارِ المُشْرِقِينَ مِنَ الْتُرْكِ وَالْهِنْدِ وَالصِّينِ When

01:05:54 --> 01:05:57

the people or the Muslims of the East

01:05:57 --> 01:06:00

They established Islam Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

01:06:00 --> 01:06:01

gave them victory over who?

01:06:02 --> 01:06:05

The Mushriks from amongst the Turks The Hind

01:06:05 --> 01:06:11

The Indians And also the Chinese Put that

01:06:11 --> 01:06:15

into perspective my brothers and my sisters Some

01:06:15 --> 01:06:17

of the greatest of enemies now against Al

01:06:17 --> 01:06:18

-Islam are from where?

01:06:19 --> 01:06:28

Hmm وَالْهِنْدِ وَالصِّينِ وَغَيْرِهِمْ فَلَمَّا ظَهَرَ

01:06:28 --> 01:06:31

مِنْهُمْ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنَ الْبِدَعِ وَالإِلْحَادِ وَالفُجُورِ صُلَّةَ

01:06:31 --> 01:06:34

عَلَيْمُ الْكُفَّارِ What we already mentioned When they

01:06:34 --> 01:06:37

started becoming very lax Committing haram Doing that

01:06:37 --> 01:06:40

which is wretched Innovative practices This is when

01:06:40 --> 01:06:44

the Kuffar were able to overpower them Also

01:06:44 --> 01:06:46

Taqiuddin ibn al-Taqiq al-'Eidi says إنما استولت

01:06:46 --> 01:06:50

التتار على بلاد المشرق لظهور الفلسفة في مضعف

01:06:50 --> 01:06:56

الشريعة Someone else now Right He says When

01:06:56 --> 01:07:01

the Tataris Right Overpowered or took over The

01:07:01 --> 01:07:05

eastern lands of the Muslims This was because

01:07:05 --> 01:07:10

our philosophy becoming widespread The people's aqidah belief

01:07:10 --> 01:07:14

systems began to change And also because they

01:07:14 --> 01:07:20

became weak in the sharia The second point

01:07:20 --> 01:07:21

I'm nearly done my brothers and my sisters

01:07:21 --> 01:07:25

I'm nearly done The second point my brothers

01:07:25 --> 01:07:35

and my sisters Is So the first point

01:07:35 --> 01:07:35

was what?

01:07:36 --> 01:07:37

What was the first point?

01:07:39 --> 01:07:41

When we stopped doing the right thing my

01:07:41 --> 01:07:43

brothers and my sisters Calling to that which

01:07:43 --> 01:07:46

is correct Right In rebuking and clarifying a

01:07:46 --> 01:07:49

lot of these doubts That is stripping The

01:07:49 --> 01:07:53

youngsters today from their Muslim identity All of

01:07:53 --> 01:07:55

these isms that is what Creeping into Muslim

01:07:55 --> 01:07:59

homes Right Someone may be dressed in an

01:07:59 --> 01:08:01

Islamic manner But is uttering that which is

01:08:01 --> 01:08:04

borderline Islam Because of these isms and schisms

01:08:04 --> 01:08:08

that you have today If we don't have

01:08:08 --> 01:08:10

Those that are going to take this initiative

01:08:10 --> 01:08:12

Of teaching the people And of course that

01:08:12 --> 01:08:15

requires knowledge This will become more and more

01:08:15 --> 01:08:19

and more widespread And it shouldn't surprise us

01:08:19 --> 01:08:21

when children come home With all of these

01:08:21 --> 01:08:24

weird ideologies That they picked up from universities

01:08:32 --> 01:08:34

The second point my brothers and my sisters

01:08:34 --> 01:08:38

Sins in general Like ma'asi, temptations And

01:08:38 --> 01:08:43

here are some very Heart piercing statements of

01:08:43 --> 01:08:45

Ibn Al-Qayyim Ibn Taymiyyah Ibn Al-Qayyim

01:08:45 --> 01:08:47

who passed away in the year 751 He

01:08:47 --> 01:08:57

says He

01:08:57 --> 01:09:00

says Without a shadow of a doubt Allowing

01:09:00 --> 01:09:03

men or women to mix with the opposite

01:09:03 --> 01:09:07

gender It is the base or the root

01:09:07 --> 01:09:15

cause For all evil And it's from the

01:09:15 --> 01:09:20

greatest of causes That bring about punishments That

01:09:20 --> 01:09:24

will end up affecting everybody Ibn Al-Qayyim

01:09:24 --> 01:09:39

Ibn Taymiyyah also says He

01:09:39 --> 01:09:45

says Musical instruments That began to spread amongst

01:09:45 --> 01:09:49

a people Right And they became busy with

01:09:49 --> 01:09:51

it Except that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

01:09:52 --> 01:09:56

Right And sent down upon them The enemies

01:09:56 --> 01:10:00

And they were struck with famines and droughts

01:10:00 --> 01:10:03

And rulers and people of authority That were

01:10:03 --> 01:10:10

evil You may think to yourself This is

01:10:10 --> 01:10:14

perhaps maybe a topic You know That You

01:10:14 --> 01:10:16

know only concerns people on a societal level

01:10:16 --> 01:10:20

My brothers and my sisters Every single household

01:10:20 --> 01:10:24

has a leader And there are people Right

01:10:24 --> 01:10:28

That come under him He If he is

01:10:28 --> 01:10:30

not doing my brothers and my sisters What

01:10:30 --> 01:10:32

is right Do not expect those that come

01:10:32 --> 01:10:36

under you To be living a life of

01:10:36 --> 01:10:41

prospering and success Right Everyone has a role

01:10:41 --> 01:10:44

to play To do that which is required

01:10:44 --> 01:10:46

of him To save himself and his family

01:10:46 --> 01:10:49

You have your own little kingdoms in your

01:10:49 --> 01:10:54

homes Also Ibn Al-Qayyim my brothers and

01:10:54 --> 01:11:00

my sisters he says فَمِنْ أَعْظَمِ أَسْبَابِ الْمَوْتِ

01:11:00 --> 01:11:04

الْعَامِ كَثَرَةُ الزِّنَا From the greatest of causes

01:11:04 --> 01:11:06

That brings about these punishments That ends up

01:11:06 --> 01:11:10

affecting everyone Or it could even contribute or

01:11:10 --> 01:11:13

lead to them dying Like you know these

01:11:13 --> 01:11:16

sicknesses that we had Right There is a

01:11:16 --> 01:11:19

different perspective to it The corona that gets

01:11:19 --> 01:11:20

sent That is the cause of so many

01:11:20 --> 01:11:24

people dying But he is speaking about that

01:11:24 --> 01:11:27

which he has witnessed And experienced or read

01:11:27 --> 01:11:33

on He says كَثَرَةُ الزِّنَا Right زِنَا becoming

01:11:33 --> 01:11:37

so widespread It becomes a norm Expect that

01:11:37 --> 01:11:40

to take place Sicknesses that will end up

01:11:40 --> 01:11:45

coming your way بِسَبَبِ تَمْكِينِ النِّسَاءِ مِنْ إِخْتَلَاطِهِنَّ

01:11:45 --> 01:11:48

بِالرِّجَالِ And that is because you allowed Right

01:11:48 --> 01:11:53

Women to free mix with men وَالْمَشِّ بَيْنَهُمْ

01:11:53 --> 01:11:57

مُتَبَرِّجَاتٍ مُتَجَمِّلَاتٍ And allowing the women to walk

01:11:57 --> 01:12:02

within society Beautified Displaying themselves and so on

01:12:02 --> 01:12:05

and so forth And then he says وَلَوْ

01:12:05 --> 01:12:08

عَلِمَ أَوْلِيَاءُ الْأَمْرِ مَا فِي ذَٰلِك مِنْ فَسَادِ

01:12:08 --> 01:12:12

الدُّنْيَا وَالرَّعِيَةِ قَبْلَ الدِّينِ لَكَانُ أَشَدَّ شَيْءٍ مَنْعَنِ

01:12:12 --> 01:12:15

ذَلِكِ He says if only the rulers Knew

01:12:15 --> 01:12:20

how much this would corrupt Your dunya And

01:12:20 --> 01:12:23

it will affect your flock Meaning your civilians

01:12:23 --> 01:12:26

that come under you Right This is all

01:12:26 --> 01:12:27

before the issues of the religion Put the

01:12:27 --> 01:12:29

religion to the side How much it would

01:12:29 --> 01:12:32

end up affecting your dunya And the people

01:12:32 --> 01:12:35

that come under you Right لَكَانُ أَشَدَّ شَيْءٍ

01:12:35 --> 01:12:38

مَنْعَنِ ذَلِكِ They would have really gone out

01:12:38 --> 01:12:41

their way To prevent this عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مَسْعُدُ

01:12:41 --> 01:12:43

رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهِ He said إِذَا ظَهَرَ

01:12:43 --> 01:12:47

الزِّنَا فِي قَرْيَةٍ أَذِنَ اللَّهُ بِهَلَاكِهَا If zinna

01:12:47 --> 01:12:50

now becomes widespread in a locality Allah azza

01:12:50 --> 01:12:51

will give the permission for this place to

01:12:51 --> 01:12:55

be destroyed And the statements My brothers and

01:12:55 --> 01:12:59

my sisters are many Last but not least

01:12:59 --> 01:13:01

That comes under this third point Which is

01:13:01 --> 01:13:06

the components that cause weakness He says My

01:13:06 --> 01:13:11

brothers and my sisters Lack of unity and

01:13:11 --> 01:13:17

resistance Ibn Taymiyyah rahmatullahi alayhi He comments on

01:13:19 --> 01:13:22

One of the hadiths of the Prophet ﷺ

01:13:22 --> 01:13:24

Which in five seconds My brothers and my

01:13:24 --> 01:13:30

sisters Teaches us What the solution for the

01:13:30 --> 01:13:33

Muslim ummah is And everyone has a role

01:13:33 --> 01:13:38

to play Right From those who run society

01:13:40 --> 01:13:43

Till the normal civilian that you see Walking

01:13:43 --> 01:13:46

around on the road Everyone has a role

01:13:46 --> 01:13:51

to play Messenger ﷺ he says إِذَا تَبَايَعْتُمْ

01:13:51 --> 01:13:57

بِالْعِينَةِ Once you start dealing with riba Riba

01:13:57 --> 01:14:00

my brothers and my sisters Right Which type

01:14:00 --> 01:14:01

of sin is it?

01:14:01 --> 01:14:02

Where can we categorize it as?

01:14:03 --> 01:14:05

Major or minor or is it disbelief?

01:14:06 --> 01:14:07

This is the last one I'm going to

01:14:07 --> 01:14:09

mention And then we're done brothers I'm very

01:14:09 --> 01:14:10

happy that I managed to cover all this

01:14:12 --> 01:14:13

Major or minor?

01:14:17 --> 01:14:19

Imam Malik rahmatullahi alayhi We've heard of him

01:14:19 --> 01:14:19

right?

01:14:20 --> 01:14:22

One of the four great imams of fiqh

01:14:22 --> 01:14:24

Number one, Imam Abu Hanifa Number two, Imam

01:14:24 --> 01:14:27

Malik Number three, Imam Shafi' Number four, Imam

01:14:27 --> 01:14:30

Ahmad Imam Malik you know what he said

01:14:30 --> 01:14:32

my brothers and my sisters إِنِّي تَصَفَّحْتُ كِتَابَ

01:14:32 --> 01:14:37

اللَّهِ وَسُنَّةَ نَبِيِّهِ I went through the whole

01:14:37 --> 01:14:39

Quran And the sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ

01:14:39 --> 01:14:43

Turned its pages one after the other وَلَمْ

01:14:43 --> 01:14:48

أَرَىْ شَيًّا أَشَرْ مِنَ الرِّبَاءِ I didn't find

01:14:48 --> 01:14:52

anything that is more greater in sin And

01:14:52 --> 01:14:53

more grave than what?

01:14:53 --> 01:14:54

Than the riba Why?

01:14:54 --> 01:14:59

Because Allah SWT announced War against this type

01:14:59 --> 01:15:02

of individual Who engages in a riba How

01:15:02 --> 01:15:03

do you translate the riba?

01:15:03 --> 01:15:04

What does riba mean?

01:15:05 --> 01:15:05

Is that it?

01:15:07 --> 01:15:09

I don't agree Because interest doesn't really give

01:15:09 --> 01:15:12

it justice Riba comes in different types and

01:15:12 --> 01:15:15

forms This is just one aspect Or one

01:15:15 --> 01:15:17

part of a riba You have riba al

01:15:17 --> 01:15:18

-duyun You also have what?

01:15:18 --> 01:15:20

Riba al-buyu' The riba that runs in

01:15:20 --> 01:15:24

duyun meaning The debts And then you have

01:15:24 --> 01:15:24

what?

01:15:24 --> 01:15:26

That which is in buying and selling transactions

01:15:26 --> 01:15:29

Types of riba So here Prophet ﷺ is

01:15:29 --> 01:15:31

telling us about A type of riba called

01:15:31 --> 01:15:34

al-'ina Once you start having these Riba based

01:15:34 --> 01:15:39

transactions and dealings وَأَخَذْتُمْ أَذْنَابَ الْبَقَرِ And you

01:15:39 --> 01:15:41

begin to chase after the tails of cows

01:15:42 --> 01:15:45

وَرَضِيْتُمْ بِالزَّرَعِ And you become satisfied with your

01:15:45 --> 01:15:47

land I've got this house And I've got

01:15:47 --> 01:15:51

this land And I've got that And then

01:15:51 --> 01:15:55

he says وَتَرَكْتُمُ الْجِهَادِ And you leave of

01:15:55 --> 01:15:58

al-jihad I have to put a disclaimer

01:15:58 --> 01:15:59

here My brothers and my sisters Unfortunately just

01:15:59 --> 01:16:00

to make it very very clear I'm not

01:16:00 --> 01:16:03

here recruiting for ISIS But at the same

01:16:03 --> 01:16:05

time I'm not going to bite my tongue

01:16:05 --> 01:16:08

And be apologetic With regards to al-jihad

01:16:08 --> 01:16:10

Which is a concept in our religion Resistance

01:16:11 --> 01:16:14

If you want to call it that Right?

01:16:15 --> 01:16:16

Just in case we have someone here That

01:16:16 --> 01:16:17

works for channel 4 That wants to cut

01:16:17 --> 01:16:19

out what I'm saying And is going to

01:16:19 --> 01:16:24

spread it on Xtomorrow It is part of

01:16:24 --> 01:16:26

our religion And I'm not going to be

01:16:26 --> 01:16:30

apologetic about it It comes with rules, regulations

01:16:30 --> 01:16:33

and conditions But it's a concept that is

01:16:33 --> 01:16:35

thabit Right?

01:16:36 --> 01:16:42

Our sharia is fixed He then says If

01:16:42 --> 01:16:46

you do all of the following سَلَّطَ اللَّهُ

01:16:46 --> 01:16:50

عَلَيْكُمْ ذُلًّا لَا يَنزِهُ عَنكُمْ حَتَّى تَرْجُعُ لَدِينِكُمْ

01:16:50 --> 01:16:52

Allah will send down upon you humiliation He

01:16:52 --> 01:16:54

will not remove this until You come back

01:16:54 --> 01:16:56

to your religion Right?

01:16:57 --> 01:17:02

Ibn Taymiyyah says فَمَنْ تَرَكَ الْجِهَادَ عَذَبَهُ اللَّهُ

01:17:02 --> 01:17:05

عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا بِالذُّلِّ وَغَيْرِهِ Whoever leaves off the

01:17:05 --> 01:17:09

resistance Allah will punish him with a painful

01:17:09 --> 01:17:14

punishment Of him being humiliated وَنَزَعَ الْأَمْرَ مِنْهُ

01:17:14 --> 01:17:17

فَعَطَاهُ لِغَيْرِهِ He will strip him of his

01:17:17 --> 01:17:18

authority And he will give it to somebody

01:17:18 --> 01:17:22

else فَإِنَّ هَذَا الْدِينَ لِمَنْ ذِبَّ عَنْهُ This

01:17:22 --> 01:17:25

religion belongs to those who protect it, who

01:17:25 --> 01:17:31

defend it وَمَتَى جَاهَلَتِ الْأُمَّةِ عَدُوَّهَا أَلَّفَ اللَّهُ

01:17:31 --> 01:17:34

بَيْنَ قُلُوبِهَا And when the Ummah now is

01:17:34 --> 01:17:37

resisting against the enemy Allah Azza wa Jalla

01:17:37 --> 01:17:43

will bring their hearts together وَإِنْ تَرَكَتِ الْجِهَادَ

01:17:43 --> 01:17:50

شُغِلَ بَعْضُهَا بِبَعْضٍ And when they leave it

01:17:50 --> 01:17:52

off, my brothers and my sisters, they will

01:17:52 --> 01:17:59

end up becoming preoccupied with one another To

01:17:59 --> 01:18:01

conclude, my brothers and my sisters, he also

01:18:01 --> 01:18:04

says فَإِذَا تَرَكَ النَّاسُ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ

01:18:04 --> 01:18:06

When the people now leave off the resistance

01:18:06 --> 01:18:07

for the sake of Allah Azza wa Jalla

01:18:07 --> 01:18:11

فَقَدْ يَبْتَلِيهُمُ اللَّهُ بِأَن يُوقَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ الْعَذَاوَةِ حَتَّى

01:18:11 --> 01:18:14

تَقَعَ بَيْنَهُمْ الْفِتْنَةِ كَمَا هُوَ الْوَاقِعُ You will

01:18:14 --> 01:18:17

see them, my brothers and my sisters, being

01:18:17 --> 01:18:21

tested with hating and having animosity towards one

01:18:21 --> 01:18:24

another As you see today, he's saying this

01:18:24 --> 01:18:27

700 years ago As you see today them

01:18:27 --> 01:18:28

being what?

01:18:29 --> 01:18:32

Split up from one another Having animosity and

01:18:32 --> 01:18:35

hatred towards one another 700 years ago he's

01:18:35 --> 01:18:36

saying this, what about now guys?

01:18:38 --> 01:18:41

فَإِنَّ الْنَٰسِ إِذَا اشْتَغْلُوا بِالْجِهَادِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ

01:18:41 --> 01:18:44

جَمَعَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ وَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَجَعَلَ بَأْسَهُمْ عَلَىٰ

01:18:44 --> 01:18:47

عَدُوِّ اللَّهِ وَعَدُوِّهِمْ And when they now become

01:18:47 --> 01:18:50

busy with the resistance Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta

01:18:50 --> 01:18:54

'ala will bring their hearts together And he

01:18:54 --> 01:18:59

will place the Baas, humiliation within the ranks

01:18:59 --> 01:19:02

of the enemy And the enemies of Allah

01:19:02 --> 01:19:06

Azza wa Jalla وَإِذَا لَمْ يَنْفَرُوا فِي سَبِيلِ

01:19:06 --> 01:19:10

اللَّهِ عَذَّبَهُمْ اللَّهُ بِأَنْ يُلْبِسَهُمْ شِيعًا وَيُذِيقَ بَعْضُهُمْ

01:19:10 --> 01:19:13

بَأْسَ بَعْضٍ This is what will happen my

01:19:13 --> 01:19:16

brothers and my sisters Now everything that I

01:19:16 --> 01:19:18

mentioned my brothers and my sisters Put it

01:19:18 --> 01:19:21

into perspective Right?

01:19:22 --> 01:19:25

And you will see Whether the world view

01:19:25 --> 01:19:28

that you have Is really in line with

01:19:28 --> 01:19:31

our Islamic values and morals Everything that I

01:19:31 --> 01:19:33

mentioned that I bring from my own self

01:19:33 --> 01:19:35

Can you bear witness please?

01:19:37 --> 01:19:38

Did I bring anything from my own self?

01:19:39 --> 01:19:42

No, I didn't I just quoted what Allah

01:19:42 --> 01:19:46

and his messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam mentioned Right?

01:19:46 --> 01:19:48

And he told us in the Quran وَعَدَ

01:19:48 --> 01:19:51

اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَعَمِنُوا الصَّالِحَ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ

01:19:51 --> 01:19:53

فِي الْأَرْضِ Right?

01:19:53 --> 01:19:55

Allah has promised those who come with righteous

01:19:55 --> 01:19:56

deeds Right?

01:19:57 --> 01:19:58

And they come with Iman And he will

01:19:58 --> 01:20:01

give them authority on the earth We have

01:20:01 --> 01:20:03

to do the right thing Right?

01:20:04 --> 01:20:05

We are reaching the ends of times You

01:20:05 --> 01:20:08

guys are reading the news The lines are

01:20:08 --> 01:20:13

being drawn And sides are being chosen Right?

01:20:17 --> 01:20:18

The one that's going to lose out in

01:20:18 --> 01:20:19

all of this My brothers and my sisters

01:20:19 --> 01:20:21

Is the one who doesn't get his act

01:20:21 --> 01:20:23

together Right?

01:20:23 --> 01:20:24

Like I said before Our hands have been

01:20:24 --> 01:20:26

tied There's only so much that we can

01:20:26 --> 01:20:28

do Right?

01:20:30 --> 01:20:32

May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless every

01:20:32 --> 01:20:33

single one of you For taking time out

01:20:33 --> 01:20:38

on your Sunday afternoon And sitting in front

01:20:38 --> 01:20:40

of this miskeen Right?

01:20:40 --> 01:20:43

This poor person Even though you may have

01:20:43 --> 01:20:44

had better things to do Right?

01:20:49 --> 01:20:53

And for the last time I'm going to

01:20:53 --> 01:20:56

say this I'm not here to incite violence

01:20:57 --> 01:20:58

Which I said this time and time again

01:20:58 --> 01:20:58

Right?

01:20:59 --> 01:21:01

I'm not a hate preacher Right?

01:21:01 --> 01:21:04

I'm a peaceful imam Just hoping to inspire

01:21:04 --> 01:21:08

the people To be proud of their religion

01:21:08 --> 01:21:10

And not to give in to these tactics

01:21:10 --> 01:21:13

That are used to strip us of our

01:21:13 --> 01:21:17

faith And our Muslim identity May Allah bless

01:21:17 --> 01:21:19

you all And insha'Allah ta'ala I'll

01:21:19 --> 01:21:21

see you all soon Peace be upon you
