Brothers and sisters,
And that's every single one of you.
Living here in the west, we face many
obstacles.
As time goes on, you find
and those who come to pay on their
surroundings
that
the situation of the Muslim Ummah is becoming
more worse.
On the day of Eid, brothers and sisters,
we were all able to embrace the day
of Eid, which is a day of celebration
with happiness.
We were able to enjoy ourselves.
We were able to go to Toys R
Us and WH Smith
and buy the presents for our kids, the
Batman and the Spiderman.
It means a lot to us to see
our kids very happy.
It was a day of happiness. It was
a day of eating and drinking.
As the prophet
told us, from the ayam,
and also to remember Allah
The point is brothers and sisters,
there's days that we have a celebration,
but as many of our brothers and sisters
in the Middle East
who don't even have a single bread to
celebrate their Eid with.
Videos were going around just before the day
of 8,
and they're still going around.
Some of the kids being pulled out of
the rubble.
Let's say, my brothers and sisters,
see the suffering of the Muslim Ummah taking
place.
Because
you find that
many Muslims today, they have tried every means
of maybe trying to improve
the situation that we are going through at
the moment.
They have tried and they keep trying.
People have tried to process as much as
possible.
They are trying to sign petitions.
Every now and again, you find that a
petition is going around.
Is the Muslim situation
The Muslim Ummah situation is against Betar, is
against US.
You know, brothers and sisters, we can try
every single means
at
our disposal.
But no
and nothing is going to change our situation.
Rasulullah
told us,
Allah
will not change the state of the people
until they change themselves.
If we just look back at the Quran,
you know, brothers and sisters, the Quran has
every cue for every problem that we might
have.
The problems that happen between the husband and
the wife,
when a divorce takes pains, hija Allah to
kick her out of the house,
the Quran tells us,
Don't kick her out, and she shouldn't leave.
Why?
Perhaps Allah has the will make something happen
between them,
between the father and the son,
between the daughter and the mother.
How to deal with every single situation.
The Quran Allah
tells us, masks are rotten and protect them
in shape. We haven't neglected anything from the
book.
Every cure,
every problem,
every suffering that we are going through, it
is all mentioned to us.
You know, brothers and sisters,
he mentioned a very, very powerful statement.
He said in
I haven't seen anything
that feeds the money that also is sold
and also preserves the book of a person.
And it also guarantees happiness
more than
constantly looking in the book of Allah
Going back to it.
If we want the happiness to come back
in our lives,
what it is generally for the Muslim Ummah,
or specifically in our life, our personal affairs
that we have,
then Allah
tells us
Or lie there. Sometimes, people that have everything
Sometimes people that have everything they need in
this dunya.
They have money, they have the cars.
But they come up to you, okay. I'm
not happy in my life. I have issues,
bad issues.
What can I do? There's many people like
that. There's billionaires I know that are suffering
from this kind of problem.
Allah of the panel with the eye, it
comes in one eye.
If you wanna attain this happiness,
if you wanna get somewhere in life, it's
what to do.
He had iman.
This person, we are going to give him
a happy life.
Brothers and sisters, before I go on to
the cure of the Muslim Ummah,
because the prophet
told us
how we can make a or put a
blind eye to it, but the month is
very great.
Our scholars have told us,
the have spoken about this, the 3 golden
generations,
and the prophet
has specifically mentioned in the hadith
I just want to explain you
looking and pondering into the Quran and studying
it closely
to tell you some of the stories in
the Quran
as why Allah
destroyed previous nations.
You know
Tell them of the stories in the Quran
so that they may think.
Allah says in another
And we recite to you, O Muhammad,
the stories of those before you
in order to firm your heart,
to make your heart firm upon the religion.
There's a iwah, there's lessons, there's
examples that you find in these stories
is meant to be
a
inspiration for us.
When the prophet said Allah, he's there about
the prophets before him. It was an inspiration
thing. He's become inspired.
Allah
tells
us this.
How many nations did we destroy after
Nuh alaihi salatu wa sallam?
And do you not see the amount of
nations that we have destroyed
before you
that we established upon the earth?
Earth. We established them, but we never established
you. The way we established them.
Brothers and sisters in the law,
he tells us about the people of Sadah.
And please, brothers and sisters, just look at
this
and see
what they've done,
and then compare it to the situation that
we are in.
You find that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells
in the Quran sometimes because of one sin.
Also, Allah has bestowed
upon them whatever he did because of one
sinned people at the street.
The people of Saba,
they had cousins on the left and migrants
on the right.
You know what Allah
told them to do.
Eat from that which Allah is the will
then provide it to you.
And also sent him.
What did they do? They were required to
do what? To eat from those who gave
them and to be grateful.
And then Allah
told us,
What did they do? They turned away.
They turned away from something a blessing the
Allah gave them, and he just told them
to thank Allah
They turned away.
What did he do?
Allah replaced the guards that they had on
their left, and likewise on their right.
He said, now I'm not gonna sail, a
flood.
And what did I get changed to this
blessing that he had on the left and
the right?
Of
the This is because they were disobedient and
they used to violate.
And every nation,
we took them. We destroyed them because of
their sin.
That's
from them that we destroy them with a
loud cry,
a loud sound.
There's some of them that we made the
earth, swerved them,
and some of them we drowned them.
Brothers and sisters were sinned.
For sin, sometimes a nation was destroyed.
Now we look at our situation,
and then we might even ask why are
we suffering, or why is the Muslim suffering.
And it doesn't require much intelligence or rocket
science to understand as to why this is
taking place.
You probably have every barrier.
If you look at the Quran of all
the nations, the whole,
all the
All
of the nations
as to why they got destroyed,
and then you find that this is found
within our societies.
It is there. It is widespread.
Roud is becoming normal. And the guy that's
actually made, disapproving,
and saying there's something wrong with it,
There doesn't come a time, except the time
that comes after it is more worse.
So going back, brothers and sisters,
to why I want to speak about today,
inshallah,
when will Allah
uplift the suffering of this Muslim Ummah?
Like I mentioned before, we can try every
needs. Every need whether it's legislated or not.
But the only thing that's going to cause
the problems to be uplifted,
and the rahma,
and the
salvation will be sent down upon us by
Allah
is if we apply all his insights book
of Allah.
The answer is they just require the person
to look.
And it requires every single person to do
something about the.
Because
remember, brothers and sisters,
we might be here in Britain, and we
are sick, but other people are suffering from
it.
What is the proof for it?
Of the righteous.
Prophet said
now
when evil becomes so widespread, everybody will be
taken.
When that flood
or the earthquake hits places like Orlando and
other places,
has been here all the time on the
news, this place in America, that place in
America, and this place and this place.
The good people amongst them,
coming. It's going to come and take everyone.
Let me give an example of what happened
in Yemen.
I was in Yemen at a time when
the protesting and the problems are going on.
The Musa'a used to say to the, don't
leave your house.
Don't pose any problems.
It's my
country.
Do not protest. Do not cause any problems.
Stay in your homes. Why? Because the prophet
So the leaders said, yeah, Rasulullah, what do
we do?
If
your back your back is beaten,
That wasn't even taking place. Everybody wanted to
imitate.
The Kufa, the disbelievers, Rahali cover over a
country.
They're saying it's time for a change. They've
been there for a long time.
They came up, maybe a few people,
compared to our population of the country,
a few of them.
Now the widow, the Muslim woman that didn't
come out, that didn't do anything,
And the little kid that had nothing.
And all the old people, all the Muslim
men and women who didn't take part in
all this fiasco that was taking place, now
they have to suffer as well. The whole
country is upside down.
The whole country, brothers and sisters, is about
to be destroyed.
Now every single Yemen, you finally ask him,
which will you prefer?
Before the or after the got toppled?
99.9%
of the people?
Any person with Internet will say, we prefer
before we wish we never revolted.
So because of our sin, we find that
a lot of other people end up suffering.
Allah
told us in the Quran,
those who believe and those who do righteous
deeds.
He will give them authority on the earth.
He will establish them
Just like he established the people before.
When will this happen? Allah tells us in
the last part of the aya.
When you start worshiping Allah you
have to eat,
and you also stay away from shit.
In the second part of the speak,
I thought, hey, do I want to know?
So hate comes first if only the people
need.
They worship Allah
They sing and they worship, and they stay
away from shirk.
Okay. Someone might be wondering now,
where is taking place?
Why do the scholars and why do the
brothers always just say?
Do we see anybody
worshiping statues?
Why is so much impetus given to this?
Brothers and sisters,
worshiping statues is not the only form of
shirk that the prophet
obtained and he warned against.
And he told us to stay away from.
It. Something that's very, very common here in
Britain.
You'll find it's very, very common in places
like, where
I'm from.
Tawas is pertaining to
Taweez. Don't know how much you know about
this, but it is very, very common.
More in the Asian community than others.
In Arabic language, they say.
In Urdu, I think they call it.
And in Somalia, you have a word for
it, but this moment in time, I can't
remember it.
Where the people, they hang talismans around their
necks and also around their hands,
believing that you bring them benefit and bring
them harm. It is very, very widespread, and
it's from the things that the prophet
told us.
Where behind the Taliban, this person has fallen
into ship.
Is very, very widespread.
And there's other forms of shit that you
find very widespread
in our communities.
Brothers and sisters,
for those who don't know,
some of these things and you go you
you might not think that this is widespread.
It's very widespread.
Opening up these things,
I worked with a few brothers.
You know, we're having that the names of
Firaun,
the names of Ta'aun, the names of Haman.
Abu Dhabi shayman Ali, please.
Recently, your father called me, and he said
to me, my wife,
every time she hears the adal, she starts
vibrating,
and she wants the adal to be switched
off.
People that might be suffering to these fears,
to these scholars that they have.
They go to them, they pay them, and
they're very, very rich. Very rich.
There's a guy, that we know, he has
a Mercedes outside his house, and he has
CCTV.
People go to him, they have problems.
If you're suffering from maybe problems between husband
and wife,
Maybe you have a cold case that you're
becoming stressed about, then call this number.
There's a letter that comes through my house
every few months. It says,
If you have any problems, if you have
any issues, husband and wife, you can't have
your children. Call this Ramba.
And we'll provide you with things.
And many people do that.
Brothers and sisters, I ask you.
If a person
now doesn't know the basics of his tawheed,
it doesn't have to establish it properly in
every aspects
what is right and wrong, what might be
the reason
that could cause him to exit the fold
of Islam.
And he doesn't know much about his sahab,
these magicians, these sorcerers,
these fortune tellers
that people tend to go to and get
information from.
Then when a problem occurs after our kids,
they grow up,
and has always been normal to them because
they listen to things like Harry Potter and
also these one,
his fairy godmother. On the things that they
watch, it's become normal to them. They don't
know anything about Sahih. They don't know that
they go to a sahir. The prophet
has said about it.
Well, it goes to Ikan, you know, it
goes to a magician,
so a fortune sorcerer,
and asks a question,
then 40 days of his prayers are going
to be accepted.
All part of our salmi aid.
All part of the things that we need
to master, that our kids need to know.
Bilay alaiqasil.
I ask you by Allah, when these kids
grow up, and they have a problem now
between a husband and a wife, And this
letter comes through the door, thinking that this
account may be a gift from Allah is
a jed to get the permit removed.
Do you think they're not gonna call
these people, or they're not gonna go to
these
fields that they have or get where they
need to get?
Why? Because they don't know.
Brothers and sisters, I can't stress how much
we need to give emphasis and learn auto
hate,
and teach the kids and also our family
members, our relatives a tawheed.
From the moment you wake up, it's a
tawheed. What do we say, Asbaha?
Alafiqarah.
Tawhid. Azuraya will read it because it's a
Tawhid.
The message of all the prophets was a
Tawhid.
A person becomes a baby unicorn baby.
You read the Adani is a Tawhid.
Every that we do is a Tawhid that
we need to make our
intentions clear for Allah Subhanahu
wa ta'ala.
The best du'a is the the du'a of
the the day of Aza.
And the best thing that I have said
in the prophet before me,
Again,
a. Many, many different points I can mention,
brothers and sisters, to show you the is
just revolving around our life, and now we
need to take this very, very seriously.
Surah Al Quran.
A event of the Quran which is
It's a Tawhid.
Yusuf Alaihi Wasallam was telling me he's charged
into prison
in the most hardest situation,
He's calling them to Tawhid, having multiple goods
or just having one word.
Which was better Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. He's
calling to a Tawhid. The
prophet
he
gave a mandate.
He said to the people
Many aspects of Allah and problems in the
replies of.
This is the message of the Quran, the
message of the prophet,
Because before that I stopped a group of
little kids, and I asked them, what is
the meaning of Islam? What is the meaning
of the tawheed?
What
is
the
meaning?
Brother and sister will conclude with this hadith
and you just just look at it and
see if this applies to the situation of.
5 seconds, it requires for us to know
what the cure and the solution of those
criminals
in this hadith. He's not working. He told
us,
He
told
us once you start having dealings of reba'at
and ask yourselves, is this something that is
widespread on our communities?
Well,
And you begin to chase
the
tails of the cows, and you become satisfied
with the crops that you had, meaning case
in the dunya,
and become satisfied and just be fully attentive
to it.
What are the jihad?
And you begin to leave on the jihad.
Before someone get the wrong impression, we're not
trying to encourage the people to go and
join ISIS.
There's many forms of the jihad
that the prophet
he told us about the imbalances in Islam.
The first time of jihad is jihad in
the to strike against yourself.
To be able to stop yourself from what?
The shaha'at.
The the silence that you have. When that
sister is walking past you that you know
your case.
It's tempting to have that girl, that very
nice girl as a girlfriend, but you stop
yourself.
There's a means that you could make money,
but you find out it's haram. You stop
yourself. Wasn't
the
prophet
say,
Allah will send out upon you a humiliation
until you come back to your religion
until you come back to your religion.
And the state of the situation of our
Muslim
change brothers and sisters
until we change themselves. We start with ourselves,
then we take it on into our households,
and then through the community.
That's how a community of becomes established.
You save yourself. You save yourself and your
family, and then you gradually take on like
that.
I ask
Allah to benefit from what we had.
