Brother and sisters,

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

Firstly, I just want to, thank the organizers

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

and the brothers and sisters who,

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

are trying very hard in order to establish,

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

a dawah in this place.

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

Said Whoever does a good or, you know,

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

does something nice to you, then

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

compensate him.

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

And if you're not able to do that,

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

then make for them.

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

So we ask Allah

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03

to build barakah

00:01:04 --> 00:01:07

into this dawah for those who are organizing

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

it and also for the community in order

00:01:09 --> 00:01:10

for the religion of Allah

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

to be established

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

through it.

00:01:13 --> 00:01:14

And before I,

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

move on to the lecture, Insha'Allah, I just

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18

want to remind myself

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

and also my brothers and sisters

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

about this great blessing that Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

Ta'ala has blessed

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

some of us with.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

And a lot of people, they don't have

00:01:30 --> 00:01:30

this blessing.

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34

On this Friday night being able to

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

come

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

and join up in this place in order

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40

to remember the name of Allah

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44

and the sunnah of the prophet sallallahu alaihi

00:01:44 --> 00:01:44

wa sallam.

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

As you are all aware, what happens on

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

Friday night is something that is well known.

00:01:49 --> 00:01:50

It doesn't require

00:01:50 --> 00:01:51

me to elaborate on it.

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

How many of our Muslim brothers and sisters

00:01:54 --> 00:01:56

today you find on this Friday night,

00:01:56 --> 00:01:57

they are clubbing,

00:01:58 --> 00:01:59

they are partying,

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

they are smoking, they are doing all sorts

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

of

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06

evils and unlawful stuff that Allah

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

has prohibited in our religion.

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

You know, sometimes we tend to forget.

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

It could have been us

00:02:14 --> 00:02:15

who was inside this position.

00:02:16 --> 00:02:18

You walk past the shisha bus today, you

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19

find it's packed with Muslims,

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22

especially on this night, on Friday night.

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

So we should be thankful to Allah that

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

he guided us to

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

that which we are currently doing.

00:02:34 --> 00:02:37

There's many, many blessings that sometimes we take

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

for granted.

00:02:40 --> 00:02:41

The blessing of Hidayah, guidance,

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44

is a major thing. There's many other things.

00:02:45 --> 00:02:45

Allah Azzawajal

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

told us

00:02:50 --> 00:02:51

If you was to count

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

the blessings of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, you

00:02:54 --> 00:02:55

wouldn't be able to do so.

00:02:56 --> 00:02:58

Allah Azza wa Jal also says

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

Allah

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

has given you everything that you have asked

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

for.

00:03:05 --> 00:03:06

In another ayah, it says,

00:03:15 --> 00:03:17

And do you not see what Allah has

00:03:17 --> 00:03:18

given to you

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

from the heavens and the earth? That which

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

is apparent and that which is hidden from

00:03:22 --> 00:03:22

the blessings.

00:03:24 --> 00:03:26

You know? So brothers and sisters, you find

00:03:26 --> 00:03:29

that if we if we ourselves, we thank

00:03:29 --> 00:03:30

Allah azza wa jal, it is us that's

00:03:30 --> 00:03:31

benefiting.

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

Allah doesn't need us to thank him.

00:03:35 --> 00:03:36

Allah

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

says,

00:03:37 --> 00:03:38

oh people you

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42

You are the ones that are in need

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

of Allah

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48

Allah is not in need of you.

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

And what happens when we thank Allah Subhanahu

00:03:50 --> 00:03:52

Wa Ta'ala, you find it's a means

00:03:52 --> 00:03:53

of not only

00:03:55 --> 00:03:58

preserving the blessing but getting more.

00:04:01 --> 00:04:03

If you thank, I will give you more.

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

If you thank,

00:04:06 --> 00:04:07

I will give you more.

00:04:07 --> 00:04:09

You know? So just belittling

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

or maybe looking down on some of the

00:04:11 --> 00:04:13

things that we have on a day to

00:04:13 --> 00:04:13

day basis,

00:04:14 --> 00:04:15

the money that we have,

00:04:15 --> 00:04:17

the food and the drink that we have,

00:04:17 --> 00:04:20

the body parts, the eyes, the, you know,

00:04:20 --> 00:04:21

the ears and

00:04:21 --> 00:04:23

the and the rest of the things that

00:04:23 --> 00:04:24

Allah has given us

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27

is something that sometimes we tend to take

00:04:27 --> 00:04:30

for granted. Just look sometimes when

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

a blind boy, he walks in.

00:04:33 --> 00:04:35

A blind boy he walks in, everyone tends

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

to feel sorry for him. Everyone gets upset.

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39

Now we feel very very sorry for him,

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42

You know? And that blind boy is only

00:04:42 --> 00:04:45

wishing that he was like everybody else,

00:04:45 --> 00:04:47

like the majority of the people, just so

00:04:47 --> 00:04:48

he could have some sight or he could

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

have the sight in order to be able

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

to see. But

00:04:55 --> 00:04:56

do we even think about it that it's

00:04:56 --> 00:04:58

a blessing in within itself,

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

Or do we take it for granted because

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

it's something that everybody else has?

00:05:04 --> 00:05:06

With the topic ahead, brothers and sisters,

00:05:07 --> 00:05:09

and it's a very, very important crucial vital

00:05:09 --> 00:05:10

topic,

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

the suffering of the Muslim Ummah. Or when

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

is the help of going

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17

to come down? Descend from Allah

00:05:18 --> 00:05:19

You know, this is a

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

very

00:05:23 --> 00:05:25

controversial topic that some might want to call

00:05:25 --> 00:05:26

it.

00:05:27 --> 00:05:29

Because you find time and time again,

00:05:31 --> 00:05:32

it is discussed by

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

people who are involved in politics.

00:05:36 --> 00:05:37

The mashiach, they discuss it

00:05:38 --> 00:05:40

and it's something that is on the table

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

at this very moment in time.

00:05:43 --> 00:05:45

On social media, you find everybody coming out.

00:05:46 --> 00:05:47

This guy says this, no. We need to

00:05:47 --> 00:05:48

protest more.

00:05:49 --> 00:05:50

This guy says,

00:05:50 --> 00:05:52

we haven't signed enough petitions.

00:05:54 --> 00:05:56

And all sorts of reasons are brought forth

00:05:57 --> 00:05:59

as to why the Muslim Ummah is suffering.

00:05:59 --> 00:06:01

There are some people they tend they think

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

that the cure

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

in order to finish or to get round

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

all these problems that the Muslim Ummah is

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

going through,

00:06:09 --> 00:06:10

we need to start with the ruler.

00:06:12 --> 00:06:13

We need to start with the ruler.

00:06:14 --> 00:06:16

We need to topple him over. We need

00:06:16 --> 00:06:17

to put another person in the in the

00:06:17 --> 00:06:18

place of him.

00:06:19 --> 00:06:20

And then after that we need to, you

00:06:20 --> 00:06:23

know, it starts from there. And it gradually

00:06:23 --> 00:06:25

moves within the people and inshallah wata'ala

00:06:26 --> 00:06:28

the Muslim Ummah situation is going to become

00:06:28 --> 00:06:29

better.

00:06:31 --> 00:06:32

You know, brothers and sisters we can sit

00:06:32 --> 00:06:33

here all day

00:06:34 --> 00:06:35

and make claims

00:06:35 --> 00:06:37

and bring forth our opinions

00:06:38 --> 00:06:40

and write it on Facebook or Twitter or

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

Instagram.

00:06:42 --> 00:06:44

The reality of the matter is that

00:06:45 --> 00:06:46

until we

00:06:48 --> 00:06:49

go back to the

00:06:50 --> 00:06:52

reference point that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he

00:06:52 --> 00:06:53

told us,

00:06:53 --> 00:06:55

nothing's going to change.

00:06:56 --> 00:06:58

And our opinions are just mere opinions.

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

Ibn Taym Rahm Allahu Ta'ala, he mentioned a

00:07:03 --> 00:07:04

very, very powerful statement.

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

He said

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

I haven't seen anything that feeds

00:07:16 --> 00:07:17

the mind

00:07:18 --> 00:07:19

and also the soul

00:07:20 --> 00:07:22

and also preserves the body of a person

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26

and that which guarantees happiness.

00:07:31 --> 00:07:32

More than constantly

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

looking,

00:07:34 --> 00:07:36

analyzing the book of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:07:38 --> 00:07:40

You know, brothers and sisters, the Eid day

00:07:40 --> 00:07:41

that just passed us, it was a day

00:07:41 --> 00:07:42

of happiness. Right?

00:07:43 --> 00:07:45

It was a day of eating and drinking.

00:07:45 --> 00:07:47

As the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam told

00:07:47 --> 00:07:47

us,

00:07:49 --> 00:07:50

There are days

00:07:50 --> 00:07:51

of eating and drinking.

00:07:53 --> 00:07:55

We were able to, masha'Allah, go to w

00:07:55 --> 00:07:57

h Smith Toys R Us and buy Batman

00:07:57 --> 00:07:58

and Spiderman for our kids.

00:07:59 --> 00:08:00

It means the world to us to see

00:08:00 --> 00:08:01

them happy.

00:08:02 --> 00:08:03

And rightfully so, it's a day of happiness.

00:08:04 --> 00:08:05

We want to see everyone happy.

00:08:07 --> 00:08:09

And many of us in Britain were able

00:08:09 --> 00:08:10

to rejoice.

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

Just 24 hours before that, there was videos

00:08:14 --> 00:08:15

going around

00:08:17 --> 00:08:18

of how

00:08:19 --> 00:08:21

some of our brothers and sisters, our

00:08:21 --> 00:08:23

kids, our younger brothers and sisters are being

00:08:23 --> 00:08:25

pulled out of the rubble in Syria.

00:08:28 --> 00:08:30

Some of them didn't didn't even have a

00:08:30 --> 00:08:31

piece of bread

00:08:32 --> 00:08:34

to celebrate their Eid with.

00:08:37 --> 00:08:39

So it was very, very hard.

00:08:40 --> 00:08:41

As the prophet

00:08:42 --> 00:08:43

told us

00:08:44 --> 00:08:45

how the Muslim

00:08:47 --> 00:08:49

society, the Muslim nation should be.

00:08:55 --> 00:08:57

The believing man with his believing brother

00:08:57 --> 00:08:58

is like a building.

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

Each part of the building strengthens the other.

00:09:02 --> 00:09:03

It came in another

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

narration.

00:09:08 --> 00:09:10

If part of the body is hurting

00:09:11 --> 00:09:12

if part of the body is hurting,

00:09:14 --> 00:09:15

then the rest of the body hurts as

00:09:15 --> 00:09:16

well.

00:09:16 --> 00:09:18

The rest of the body goes through maybe

00:09:18 --> 00:09:19

headache

00:09:19 --> 00:09:20

and pain.

00:09:22 --> 00:09:25

So you find it very, very difficult to

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

remove that from the back of our minds,

00:09:28 --> 00:09:29

especially on 8th day

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

when it's a day of happiness.

00:09:34 --> 00:09:36

But at the same time, our brothers and

00:09:36 --> 00:09:38

sisters, they are part of us, they are

00:09:38 --> 00:09:39

suffering.

00:09:40 --> 00:09:41

The question is until

00:09:43 --> 00:09:45

when? Until when we will see this happening?

00:09:46 --> 00:09:49

Until when are they going to remain suffering?

00:09:49 --> 00:09:50

Until

00:09:51 --> 00:09:53

when is their situation going to remain like

00:09:53 --> 00:09:54

this?

00:09:56 --> 00:09:58

Like we mentioned the statement of Ibn Taym

00:09:58 --> 00:10:00

Rahim Allahu Ta'ala. We can get all emotional

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

as much as we want

00:10:02 --> 00:10:05

and revert to different ways of maybe

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

someone's gonna go up to town and blow

00:10:07 --> 00:10:08

it up

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

or he's going to end up protesting and

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

he's going to get all excited.

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

People are going to try all these means

00:10:14 --> 00:10:15

but our religion is not emotions.

00:10:16 --> 00:10:19

Our religion is not using our intellects

00:10:20 --> 00:10:22

before the book of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala's

00:10:22 --> 00:10:25

messenger. There's people that think that this is

00:10:25 --> 00:10:26

the cure. I need to go into the

00:10:26 --> 00:10:28

middle of everyone. I need to blow myself

00:10:28 --> 00:10:29

up.

00:10:29 --> 00:10:31

When the reality of the matter is something

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

that the prophet salallahu alayhi wa samb prohibited.

00:10:33 --> 00:10:34

He told us

00:10:37 --> 00:10:40

Whoever kills himself with an iron, then he

00:10:40 --> 00:10:41

will be punished with.

00:10:44 --> 00:10:45

You know, brothers and sisters,

00:10:46 --> 00:10:47

if we want the happiness

00:10:48 --> 00:10:50

that there is that honor to enter back

00:10:50 --> 00:10:52

into the Muslim Ummah,

00:10:53 --> 00:10:54

then Azib Nataym

00:10:55 --> 00:10:58

said, don't look further than the book of

00:10:58 --> 00:10:59

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:11:01 --> 00:11:03

It tells us how to get the happiness.

00:11:03 --> 00:11:04

The

00:11:05 --> 00:11:07

problems that take place, whether it is internal

00:11:07 --> 00:11:09

problems or external problems,

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

personal issues

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

that are specific to us or things that

00:11:14 --> 00:11:15

are general for the Muslim ummah.

00:11:16 --> 00:11:18

It all says in the Quran.

00:11:19 --> 00:11:21

Allah tells us, for example, now between husband

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

and wife.

00:11:23 --> 00:11:25

A divorce takes place.

00:11:25 --> 00:11:26

He kicks her out the house. Is he

00:11:26 --> 00:11:27

allowed to do that?

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

Is she allowed to leave the house? Again,

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

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us how to

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

solve the problem.

00:11:37 --> 00:11:39

Don't kick her out and she shouldn't leave.

00:11:39 --> 00:11:39

Why?

00:11:41 --> 00:11:42

Perhaps

00:11:43 --> 00:11:44

because they stay with each other,

00:11:45 --> 00:11:47

Allah, azza wa jal, will make something happen

00:11:47 --> 00:11:48

between them.

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

But the majority of the people who do

00:11:50 --> 00:11:51

either

00:11:52 --> 00:11:54

he kicks her out or she goes back

00:11:54 --> 00:11:55

to mom's house.

00:11:57 --> 00:11:59

And then there's no happiness. They suffer for

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

maybe the next year and a half.

00:12:02 --> 00:12:04

The the problem now between the father and

00:12:04 --> 00:12:05

the son.

00:12:07 --> 00:12:09

How do we go about solving the problem?

00:12:09 --> 00:12:10

Prophet salawahu alaihi wa sama told us that

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

you're not allowed to boycott anyone for more

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

than 3 days.

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

Likewise between the mother and the daughter

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

and so many other issues.

00:12:21 --> 00:12:23

Everything is found in the book of Allah.

00:12:23 --> 00:12:24

We

00:12:25 --> 00:12:27

haven't neglected anything from the book.

00:12:28 --> 00:12:30

So now let's go to where Allah Subhanahu

00:12:30 --> 00:12:32

Wa Ta'ala tells us how to attain the

00:12:32 --> 00:12:33

happy life.

00:12:34 --> 00:12:36

How to attain the happy life.

00:12:37 --> 00:12:38

Very very simple.

00:12:39 --> 00:12:41

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala told us in the

00:12:48 --> 00:12:50

Whoever now from the male

00:12:50 --> 00:12:51

and the female,

00:12:53 --> 00:12:54

This is real rights.

00:12:57 --> 00:12:58

From the male and the female.

00:12:59 --> 00:13:00

Those good deeds.

00:13:01 --> 00:13:02

The second condition

00:13:02 --> 00:13:04

is that he's a believer as iman.

00:13:05 --> 00:13:07

What does Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala guarantee for

00:13:07 --> 00:13:08

this person?

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

This person, we're going to give him a

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

good life.

00:13:15 --> 00:13:18

The happy life that everybody craves, that even

00:13:18 --> 00:13:20

a millionaire is looking for an trillionaire.

00:13:22 --> 00:13:23

That he is dying to get.

00:13:24 --> 00:13:26

Happiness is not wallahi, brothers and sisters. Waking

00:13:26 --> 00:13:28

up in the morning and all your cars

00:13:28 --> 00:13:29

are lined up and then you choose

00:13:31 --> 00:13:33

Or to have all them 1,000 stacked in

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

your bank.

00:13:34 --> 00:13:36

I know a lot of people like that.

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

I know millionaires are saying to me I

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

am

00:13:39 --> 00:13:41

Ahi, please can you advise me?

00:13:42 --> 00:13:43

Suffer from depression,

00:13:43 --> 00:13:44

problems.

00:13:45 --> 00:13:47

How many times have we seen London Bridge?

00:13:48 --> 00:13:50

You don't know what London Bridge is in

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

London?

00:13:52 --> 00:13:54

There's people who have so much money in

00:13:54 --> 00:13:56

the bank, they chuck themselves over the bridge.

00:13:57 --> 00:14:00

Recently in Nottingham, there's a big car park.

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

A woman chucked herself over.

00:14:03 --> 00:14:04

She had money.

00:14:05 --> 00:14:07

They felt they went through depression. They went

00:14:07 --> 00:14:08

through problems in their life.

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

They didn't have the happy life.

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

And you find

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

from the most poorest of people.

00:14:18 --> 00:14:19

All he cares about

00:14:19 --> 00:14:20

is

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

satisfying Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:14:24 --> 00:14:26

He has satisfaction and he's convinced with that

00:14:26 --> 00:14:28

which Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:14:28 --> 00:14:29

gave him.

00:14:30 --> 00:14:31

But you find he's happy

00:14:33 --> 00:14:34

because he does

00:14:34 --> 00:14:35

the

00:14:36 --> 00:14:36

He's a believer.

00:14:38 --> 00:14:38

He

00:14:39 --> 00:14:41

has sufficed or he's sufficient

00:14:41 --> 00:14:44

for himself that which Allah gave him.

00:14:45 --> 00:14:46

So brothers and sisters,

00:14:49 --> 00:14:51

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala promises us in the

00:14:51 --> 00:14:52

Quran

00:14:55 --> 00:14:56

when the people,

00:14:57 --> 00:14:58

the Muslim Ummah,

00:14:59 --> 00:15:00

will

00:15:02 --> 00:15:04

be established and given authority upon the earth.

00:15:06 --> 00:15:08

When they will be given authority and established

00:15:08 --> 00:15:10

on earth, Allah tells us.

00:15:10 --> 00:15:12

And I wanna elaborate on this inshallah.

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

Allah tells us

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

Allah

00:15:20 --> 00:15:22

has promised those who believe.

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

So again, the iman

00:15:28 --> 00:15:30

and then those who don't do good deeds.

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

These people we are going to give them

00:15:37 --> 00:15:39

authority upon the earth just like we gave

00:15:39 --> 00:15:41

authority to us before them.

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

And we will give them authority.

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

When will this happen?

00:15:52 --> 00:15:54

When Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala then said at

00:15:54 --> 00:15:55

the end of the ayah,

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

When they established the aid, the Ibadah

00:16:03 --> 00:16:04

is on point

00:16:04 --> 00:16:05

and they stay away from

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

Someone might be wondering to himself now, okay.

00:16:13 --> 00:16:15

We don't see anybody worshiping statues.

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

As this is the doubt

00:16:18 --> 00:16:19

that many people say.

00:16:21 --> 00:16:22

Those who have got far away from a

00:16:22 --> 00:16:25

tawhid, okay. You're just banging on about

00:16:27 --> 00:16:29

Is anybody here worshiping statues?

00:16:30 --> 00:16:32

Every year when I go to Hajj,

00:16:34 --> 00:16:37

always somehow, I end up bumping into these

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

people.

00:16:39 --> 00:16:41

Because, obviously, you wanna call the people to

00:16:41 --> 00:16:41

stowheed.

00:16:42 --> 00:16:43

Tawhid is essential,

00:16:44 --> 00:16:45

and it's the cure for every problem as

00:16:45 --> 00:16:47

we're gonna explain, inshallah.

00:16:48 --> 00:16:50

As soon as you start speaking about Tawhid,

00:16:51 --> 00:16:54

brother, do you see anybody worshiping statues? Do

00:16:54 --> 00:16:56

you see anybody worshiping shirk or doing shirk?

00:16:57 --> 00:16:59

As if that's the only form

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

that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and

00:17:03 --> 00:17:04

Allah warned against.

00:17:07 --> 00:17:09

That shows how far

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

we might have gone away from the basics

00:17:13 --> 00:17:14

of our religion.

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

Someone that's very, very common, and let's start,

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

and I don't know how common it is

00:17:19 --> 00:17:20

here in Pizarro,

00:17:21 --> 00:17:23

is that which is pertaining

00:17:24 --> 00:17:26

That's what they say it in Urdu. In

00:17:26 --> 00:17:28

Arabic language, they say tama'im.

00:17:29 --> 00:17:30

And in Somali,

00:17:30 --> 00:17:32

forgot the word for it,

00:17:32 --> 00:17:33

but amongst

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

the same lines, tama'im,

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

taweed,

00:17:36 --> 00:17:37

very similar things.

00:17:40 --> 00:17:41

Something that is so common,

00:17:41 --> 00:17:43

but people think there is nothing wrong with

00:17:43 --> 00:17:44

it.

00:17:44 --> 00:17:45

So widespread.

00:17:47 --> 00:17:48

What did the prophet

00:17:48 --> 00:17:50

say to us about this?

00:17:53 --> 00:17:56

Whoever hangs the talisman is fallen to shirk.

00:17:59 --> 00:18:02

The type of that has in it.

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

Also, these talismans

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

and

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

means

00:18:09 --> 00:18:11

the magic spell that they do, that the

00:18:11 --> 00:18:12

sahir does

00:18:12 --> 00:18:15

in order to make true people love each

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

other. They're all forms of shirk.

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

You know, brother and sister, it is so

00:18:19 --> 00:18:20

widespread.

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

People call me all the time

00:18:24 --> 00:18:26

asking for advice. Just most recently,

00:18:26 --> 00:18:29

a brother called me. He says, my wife,

00:18:29 --> 00:18:31

every time she hears the adhan, she goes

00:18:31 --> 00:18:32

ballistic.

00:18:32 --> 00:18:34

She tells me to switch her off. She

00:18:34 --> 00:18:36

gets old, irate, problematic.

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

Other people have jinn issues.

00:18:41 --> 00:18:42

Has been done on them or they they

00:18:42 --> 00:18:45

involved somehow in, the family is.

00:18:46 --> 00:18:47

One of the first questions that I tend

00:18:47 --> 00:18:48

to ask them,

00:18:50 --> 00:18:51

do you have a inside your house?

00:18:53 --> 00:18:55

The latest person that called me

00:18:55 --> 00:18:57

when he said that his wife, every time

00:18:57 --> 00:18:59

she hears adhan, she switches off

00:18:59 --> 00:19:01

or she gets angry, she gets annoyed.

00:19:02 --> 00:19:04

That's the first question I asked him.

00:19:06 --> 00:19:08

He checks in the back.

00:19:09 --> 00:19:10

They find a taweez in it.

00:19:11 --> 00:19:12

He opens it.

00:19:12 --> 00:19:13

Do you know what he has on there,

00:19:13 --> 00:19:14

brothers and sisters?

00:19:15 --> 00:19:18

We are worshipers of Muhammad sallallahu

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

alaihi wa sallam.

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

And

00:19:22 --> 00:19:24

you expect your problems to be cured and

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

removed.

00:19:25 --> 00:19:27

When you're committing a shirk,

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

You're hanging this talisman thinking that I can

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

benefit and harm you.

00:19:35 --> 00:19:37

I worked with some brothers with this thing

00:19:37 --> 00:19:39

called Taweez project. I don't know if you'll

00:19:39 --> 00:19:39

have seen it online.

00:19:42 --> 00:19:45

Daring the people or challenging the people to

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

open the ta'weez that they have.

00:19:48 --> 00:19:49

Once you open it, you know what has

00:19:49 --> 00:19:51

on there? It has the name of Firaoun,

00:19:51 --> 00:19:54

the name of Haman, the name of Qaroun.

00:19:54 --> 00:19:55

I've seen it with my own eyes. I'm

00:19:55 --> 00:19:58

not bringing out a story from the fabricated

00:19:58 --> 00:19:59

books.

00:20:00 --> 00:20:01

The name of Abu Lahab,

00:20:01 --> 00:20:03

Iblis shaitan.

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

People have this issue that is so widespread.

00:20:12 --> 00:20:14

You know, brothers and sisters, another point I

00:20:14 --> 00:20:15

want to inshallah to'ala

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

make it clear to you as how

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

widespread these kind of things have become.

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

In other that which is pertaining magic

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

And how the basics of our religion teaches

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

us

00:20:33 --> 00:20:35

that seher is from the one of the

00:20:35 --> 00:20:36

nullifies of Islam.

00:20:39 --> 00:20:42

Look now. I've seen this time and time

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

again.

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

Some of our kids,

00:20:46 --> 00:20:47

they have a wand.

00:20:47 --> 00:20:48

They're putting around

00:20:49 --> 00:20:50

acting like the magician.

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

Harry Potter.

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

So most of us have heard about Harry

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

Potter.

00:20:56 --> 00:20:58

Owns all these balaya. You find kids saying

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

spelling their hands around trying to act like

00:21:01 --> 00:21:02

them.

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

And all these other types,

00:21:06 --> 00:21:08

Disneyland again. Where is Disneyland?

00:21:10 --> 00:21:11

They teach them sehar

00:21:11 --> 00:21:14

and forms of sehar, and they end up

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

liking

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

doing what Disneyland promotes,

00:21:17 --> 00:21:18

a I e a sehar.

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

Okay.

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

I'm not trying to say that these kids

00:21:22 --> 00:21:25

have now become or left affordable. I'm not

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

saying this.

00:21:26 --> 00:21:29

But from a very, very young age,

00:21:29 --> 00:21:31

this becomes so normal to them.

00:21:32 --> 00:21:34

They feel like there's no problem in their

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

lives.

00:21:36 --> 00:21:38

In regards to this issue. It doesn't affect

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

it. There's no problem with it

00:21:40 --> 00:21:43

because they're singing it, and they're doing it,

00:21:43 --> 00:21:44

and they're acting like it.

00:21:44 --> 00:21:46

Of course, they're not doing the real seher,

00:21:46 --> 00:21:48

but they're trying to act like it,

00:21:50 --> 00:21:52

trying to imitate the sahara, what they do.

00:21:53 --> 00:21:55

Fortune teller, what they do, they might buy

00:21:55 --> 00:21:56

these things, and they're doing this.

00:21:58 --> 00:22:00

I just want to to point out the

00:22:00 --> 00:22:01

way it could lead to.

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

If they are not not

00:22:04 --> 00:22:06

taught the fundamentals of a tawhid,

00:22:07 --> 00:22:08

then when they grow up,

00:22:09 --> 00:22:12

when now a problem happens between a husband

00:22:12 --> 00:22:12

and a wife,

00:22:14 --> 00:22:16

or they're suffering from any issue whatsoever,

00:22:17 --> 00:22:19

whether it is court problems,

00:22:19 --> 00:22:20

she can't have a baby.

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

Do you know what comes through my door

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

every 2 to 3 months?

00:22:25 --> 00:22:26

A card that says

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

call

00:22:28 --> 00:22:29

Babu Ali.

00:22:30 --> 00:22:31

It's a yellow one.

00:22:31 --> 00:22:33

Has a telephone number on there,

00:22:34 --> 00:22:35

which to call. Do you know what it

00:22:35 --> 00:22:37

says on there? If you ever suffer from

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

any

00:22:38 --> 00:22:40

marital problems, you feel like that your husband

00:22:40 --> 00:22:42

doesn't love you or you feel like that

00:22:42 --> 00:22:44

your wife is not inclined towards you. You're

00:22:44 --> 00:22:46

suffering from stress, depression.

00:22:47 --> 00:22:49

You've got court issues. Then call this number

00:22:49 --> 00:22:51

for indeed Babu Ali is going to solve

00:22:51 --> 00:22:52

your problems.

00:22:56 --> 00:22:57

And people do actually call it.

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

If the person, he doesn't know the basics

00:23:02 --> 00:23:03

of a tawhid,

00:23:04 --> 00:23:06

That time when he has a problem now,

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

do you think he's not gonna call this

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

number?

00:23:11 --> 00:23:13

These kind of people, they're very widespread. We

00:23:13 --> 00:23:14

know a guy in Leicester.

00:23:15 --> 00:23:17

Marshall, he has CCTV in front of his

00:23:17 --> 00:23:19

house, and he has a Mercedes parked outside,

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

charging the people 100 of pounds for taweez.

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

And everyone that goes to him comes out

00:23:27 --> 00:23:29

with more and bigger issues.

00:23:31 --> 00:23:32

But they make them believe that there's a

00:23:32 --> 00:23:34

lot of khair in it, and they lie

00:23:34 --> 00:23:35

to them that it has the Quran inside

00:23:35 --> 00:23:38

it. But 95% of it, it has the

00:23:38 --> 00:23:40

names of Firaoun, Haman, Tarun.

00:23:43 --> 00:23:45

How do we expect to have any of

00:23:45 --> 00:23:47

our personal problems, the issues that we are

00:23:47 --> 00:23:49

suffering from, to be changed.

00:23:50 --> 00:23:51

Allah aza wa jal.

00:23:51 --> 00:23:53

Just I'm going to mention this, but I'm

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

going to just go on to what we're

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

speaking about.

00:23:56 --> 00:23:57

These teachings be doing a ta'wis

00:23:58 --> 00:23:59

and doing

00:24:00 --> 00:24:01

or reverting to ways that are taught in

00:24:01 --> 00:24:02

haram.

00:24:02 --> 00:24:03

Allah

00:24:13 --> 00:24:16

The shaitan doesn't have any authority over those

00:24:16 --> 00:24:17

who believe and those who put their trust

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

in Allah

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

The shaitan only has authority

00:24:27 --> 00:24:28

over those

00:24:29 --> 00:24:30

who befriend him.

00:24:31 --> 00:24:32

How do you befriend the shaytan doing things

00:24:32 --> 00:24:33

that he loves?

00:24:34 --> 00:24:36

And those who commit shirk.

00:24:38 --> 00:24:40

And brothers and sisters, a lot of the

00:24:40 --> 00:24:42

people are normally possessed or have issues are

00:24:42 --> 00:24:44

those who are far away from the region

00:24:44 --> 00:24:45

of Allah

00:24:45 --> 00:24:47

or they've reverted to these kind of ways.

00:24:52 --> 00:24:55

Tawhid comes first if only the people knew.

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

Brothers and sisters,

00:24:56 --> 00:24:59

just to point out to you the importance

00:24:59 --> 00:25:00

of this matter

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

and how it is missing in our lives.

00:25:03 --> 00:25:05

Is it being taught in our communities? Is

00:25:05 --> 00:25:07

it something that is given a lot of

00:25:07 --> 00:25:10

emphasis to? Or is it something that

00:25:10 --> 00:25:11

is

00:25:11 --> 00:25:13

spiritual? You find that majority of the time

00:25:13 --> 00:25:14

it is something that is spiritual.

00:25:15 --> 00:25:17

The first command in the Quran

00:25:17 --> 00:25:19

is what pertaining to.

00:25:20 --> 00:25:21

The first command.

00:25:23 --> 00:25:26

Oh people, worship your lord. The first prohibition

00:25:26 --> 00:25:27

in the Quran is what?

00:25:30 --> 00:25:31

Do not

00:25:33 --> 00:25:35

make details with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So

00:25:35 --> 00:25:38

the first command is the the first prohibition

00:25:38 --> 00:25:39

is stay away from shirk.

00:25:40 --> 00:25:43

Every message of the prophet was a tawhid.

00:25:46 --> 00:25:48

You wake up in the morning, the dua

00:25:48 --> 00:25:49

that you read

00:25:50 --> 00:25:51

Islam.

00:25:52 --> 00:25:55

Again, the tawhid. When a baby comes into

00:25:55 --> 00:25:57

the world, they read the adhan in his

00:25:57 --> 00:25:58

ear. Again, what a tawhid.

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

A person is dying at the end of

00:26:01 --> 00:26:02

his life.

00:26:06 --> 00:26:07

Whoever's last statement is

00:26:08 --> 00:26:10

he enters into Aljannah again to hid.

00:26:11 --> 00:26:12

The prophet

00:26:13 --> 00:26:14

is dying, brothers and sisters.

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

If this matter was a small thing, why

00:26:17 --> 00:26:19

would the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam say

00:26:19 --> 00:26:20

it while he's dying?

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

He's saying

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

may the curse of Allah be upon the

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

Jews and the Christians who took their graveyards

00:26:30 --> 00:26:31

as spaces of worship.

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

So many examples that we can give. The

00:26:35 --> 00:26:37

best ayah in the Quran, Allahu llahi ilaha

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

illa wa Hayyalu qayun talks about tawhid.

00:26:40 --> 00:26:41

A third of the Quran.

00:26:45 --> 00:26:47

That our kids even have memorized again a

00:26:47 --> 00:26:48

Tawhid. A Surah al Quran.

00:26:50 --> 00:26:51

Yousef gets trapped into the fire.

00:26:52 --> 00:26:54

Sorry. Yousef gets trapped into prison

00:26:54 --> 00:26:56

even in a position now where it's really,

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

really

00:26:57 --> 00:26:57

tight,

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

problematic.

00:27:04 --> 00:27:06

Is having deities or multiple gods.

00:27:08 --> 00:27:09

Better or having the one lord,

00:27:11 --> 00:27:13

Yusuf alaihis salatu waslam is calling the people

00:27:13 --> 00:27:15

to a tawhid inside a prison.

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

All the

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

stories somehow are related to a Tawhid.

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

But, brother, since this is missing in our

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

communities,

00:27:24 --> 00:27:25

This is not found.

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

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has clearly told us

00:27:34 --> 00:27:35

Allah

00:27:36 --> 00:27:38

will not change the state of the people

00:27:39 --> 00:27:40

until they shame themselves.

00:27:41 --> 00:27:43

We can try every means. But it is

00:27:43 --> 00:27:45

us that we need to start with ourselves,

00:27:46 --> 00:27:47

with our families.

00:27:49 --> 00:27:51

Save yourself and then your family from the

00:27:51 --> 00:27:54

fire. That we start establishing a tawhid

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

in our households,

00:27:58 --> 00:27:59

our families,

00:27:59 --> 00:28:01

our children. Then it gradually increases

00:28:02 --> 00:28:04

to our far relatives and then into our

00:28:04 --> 00:28:06

community, into our masajid.

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

And that's how the suffering will be taken

00:28:09 --> 00:28:12

away. This is how the authority will be

00:28:12 --> 00:28:14

established upon the face of this earth through

00:28:14 --> 00:28:15

a Tawhid.

00:28:18 --> 00:28:19

Brothers and sisters,

00:28:21 --> 00:28:22

our sins

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

that we are doing, that we might not

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

be taken very, very seriously,

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

remember

00:28:29 --> 00:28:31

other people are going to be suffering from

00:28:31 --> 00:28:32

what we do.

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

What we do with our own hands, other

00:28:35 --> 00:28:36

people are going to be suffering for it

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

for it.

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

You are aware of the earthquake that was

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

taking place in America.

00:28:42 --> 00:28:44

When I done some research, I can't remember

00:28:44 --> 00:28:46

exactly which place it was.

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

There's a lot of black African Americans in

00:28:49 --> 00:28:50

that place.

00:28:50 --> 00:28:52

I think it was Orlando or

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

does anyone know?

00:28:55 --> 00:28:56

Like, maybe a couple of years ago

00:28:59 --> 00:29:01

where they started even eating one another.

00:29:04 --> 00:29:05

It reached that much. They started eating one

00:29:05 --> 00:29:06

another. Anyways,

00:29:08 --> 00:29:09

when I've done some research

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

of what the community is indulged in,

00:29:12 --> 00:29:14

you wouldn't be surprised as to why Allah

00:29:14 --> 00:29:16

decided to send a punishment on them.

00:29:18 --> 00:29:19

When that earthquake comes,

00:29:20 --> 00:29:21

do you think

00:29:22 --> 00:29:25

the good people are going to be exempted

00:29:25 --> 00:29:26

from there?

00:29:27 --> 00:29:28

The earthquake is not going to call you

00:29:28 --> 00:29:30

or send you a message on what Sabrad

00:29:30 --> 00:29:32

is going to come and take everyone.

00:29:33 --> 00:29:34

Zaynab bin Jashar

00:29:35 --> 00:29:36

she said to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa

00:29:36 --> 00:29:37

sallam,

00:29:40 --> 00:29:42

will we be destroyed and amongst us are

00:29:42 --> 00:29:43

the righteous?

00:29:45 --> 00:29:46

The prophet said, naham.

00:29:47 --> 00:29:49

Even if there's righteous people amongst you, naham.

00:29:50 --> 00:29:51

You will be destroyed.

00:29:53 --> 00:29:55

If evil becomes so widespread,

00:29:56 --> 00:29:58

then everybody will be taken.

00:29:58 --> 00:30:00

So it's a responsibility

00:30:00 --> 00:30:01

amongst all of us

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

to take the initiative

00:30:04 --> 00:30:06

of trying to change our situation.

00:30:07 --> 00:30:09

We might be sinning here, but someone is

00:30:09 --> 00:30:11

serious suffering because of our sins.

00:30:12 --> 00:30:13

Just like it came in the hadith of

00:30:13 --> 00:30:14

sin of jajah that I just mentioned.

00:30:16 --> 00:30:18

Look now another example of sorrow to Rabia.

00:30:20 --> 00:30:23

The example of the protesting and the revolution

00:30:23 --> 00:30:24

that took place in Arab boat.

00:30:26 --> 00:30:28

When Yemen was being toppled over, I was

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

there before the toppling took place and after.

00:30:33 --> 00:30:34

And without defending,

00:30:34 --> 00:30:36

the mistakes and the issues that the government

00:30:36 --> 00:30:39

might have had at a time, Yes. There

00:30:39 --> 00:30:41

was bribery. There was oppression. There was all

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

kinds of issues taking place in the government,

00:30:44 --> 00:30:45

but they had safety

00:30:46 --> 00:30:48

and everybody was able to get on with

00:30:48 --> 00:30:48

their lives.

00:30:50 --> 00:30:51

All of a sudden,

00:30:51 --> 00:30:53

some people came out and they decided to

00:30:53 --> 00:30:54

revolt

00:30:56 --> 00:30:58

and to go against the ruler. Why? He's

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

been in charge 40 years. It's time for

00:31:00 --> 00:31:02

a change. Democracy.

00:31:03 --> 00:31:04

Just like we have in Britain and America.

00:31:05 --> 00:31:07

4 years is fair. He shouldn't be keeping

00:31:07 --> 00:31:08

it for any longer.

00:31:10 --> 00:31:14

The scholars were saying to them, stay in

00:31:14 --> 00:31:15

your homes.

00:31:17 --> 00:31:19

The scholars were reading out to them. The

00:31:19 --> 00:31:21

most authentic book after the book of Allahan

00:31:21 --> 00:31:23

Al Bukhar is what's Sahih Muslim.

00:31:24 --> 00:31:25

The chapter of leadership.

00:31:26 --> 00:31:28

All the Hadith all the Hadith.

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

Like you have a Hadith where the prophet

00:31:30 --> 00:31:32

sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, there will come a

00:31:32 --> 00:31:33

time.

00:31:35 --> 00:31:36

There'll be leaders.

00:31:37 --> 00:31:39

They won't take my guidance as a guidance.

00:31:39 --> 00:31:40

And they won't take my sunnah.

00:31:42 --> 00:31:44

Their hearts are like the hearts of the

00:31:44 --> 00:31:46

shaitan. In the body of it.

00:31:47 --> 00:31:49

The worst example was given to you. You

00:31:49 --> 00:31:50

know the prophet

00:31:53 --> 00:31:53

said,

00:31:55 --> 00:31:57

If your back gets beaten and your money

00:31:57 --> 00:31:58

gets taken, listen and obey.

00:31:59 --> 00:32:00

Listen and obey.

00:32:01 --> 00:32:03

They were reading these ayat or these hadiths

00:32:03 --> 00:32:04

to them.

00:32:06 --> 00:32:07

Not all of the people of Yemen, they

00:32:07 --> 00:32:08

decided to revolt.

00:32:09 --> 00:32:10

Wasn't all of

00:32:10 --> 00:32:12

them. The widow with the kids that's at

00:32:12 --> 00:32:15

home. The pregnant lady. The old man. The

00:32:15 --> 00:32:17

righteous individual who doesn't want any fouls or

00:32:17 --> 00:32:18

chaos or any problems.

00:32:19 --> 00:32:19

He's in his

00:32:20 --> 00:32:22

home. But some people came out, and they

00:32:22 --> 00:32:24

decided to want to revolt and cause problems.

00:32:25 --> 00:32:26

What happened?

00:32:28 --> 00:32:30

Retaliation took place.

00:32:31 --> 00:32:34

War took place. Everybody is what? Fighting one

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

another.

00:32:35 --> 00:32:37

I think the revolution was around maybe 3

00:32:37 --> 00:32:38

years ago

00:32:40 --> 00:32:42

or a bit more than that. And to

00:32:42 --> 00:32:43

this very day, there is no peace.

00:32:44 --> 00:32:45

There's no amin.

00:32:46 --> 00:32:47

In

00:32:48 --> 00:32:50

this country, we have a blessing

00:32:50 --> 00:32:51

that a lot of people don't hand it.

00:32:51 --> 00:32:53

It is peace that we are able to

00:32:53 --> 00:32:54

sleep at night and

00:33:02 --> 00:33:04

She can't have the basic essentials of life.

00:33:05 --> 00:33:06

What blame

00:33:07 --> 00:33:08

or what sin

00:33:09 --> 00:33:10

is it on the woman

00:33:11 --> 00:33:13

who didn't take part in all of these

00:33:13 --> 00:33:15

revolutions and all these problems that were taking

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

place?

00:33:17 --> 00:33:19

Why did she have to suffer because of

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

this?

00:33:21 --> 00:33:22

What sin does she do?

00:33:23 --> 00:33:24

But because of what the rest of the

00:33:24 --> 00:33:27

people, now that woman, the electricity that she

00:33:27 --> 00:33:30

wants to pay for because there's no electricity

00:33:30 --> 00:33:32

now. The gas has become so expensive.

00:33:34 --> 00:33:36

Life is really, really hard.

00:33:38 --> 00:33:40

Because of what some people did, everybody is

00:33:40 --> 00:33:42

suffering from it now.

00:33:44 --> 00:33:46

That's why we

00:33:46 --> 00:33:48

ourselves, if we see issues that are going

00:33:48 --> 00:33:50

wrong, we have to try and change ourselves.

00:33:53 --> 00:33:55

Allah upon the tongue of the and also

00:33:58 --> 00:34:00

Why were they cursed?

00:34:02 --> 00:34:04

The evil that took place, they never disapproved

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

of it.

00:34:07 --> 00:34:09

Brothers and sisters, the basics

00:34:09 --> 00:34:11

that we need to go back to.

00:34:12 --> 00:34:14

Again, now if you look at

00:34:14 --> 00:34:15

just the shahada,

00:34:17 --> 00:34:19

the meaning of the end part of the

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

Muhammad.

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

The Muhammad

00:34:22 --> 00:34:24

is the final messenger of Allah subhanahu wa

00:34:24 --> 00:34:26

ta'ala. He's his slave.

00:34:27 --> 00:34:29

What does he mean? And now look. Are

00:34:29 --> 00:34:31

the majority of the people in in in

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

agreements with? Are they putting it into application?

00:34:37 --> 00:34:39

People just believe, okay. If I believe in

00:34:39 --> 00:34:42

Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, fine. That's

00:34:43 --> 00:34:45

it. I've actualized the meaning of the shahada.

00:34:46 --> 00:34:48

If you look at the meaning, there's 3

00:34:48 --> 00:34:50

ingredients that come with it.

00:34:53 --> 00:34:55

To fulfill everything they ask you to do

00:34:55 --> 00:34:56

from his commands.

00:34:59 --> 00:35:01

And to also believe in that which he

00:35:01 --> 00:35:02

came with, which

00:35:03 --> 00:35:05

and to stay away from everything he prohibited.

00:35:06 --> 00:35:08

From the things they prohibited is innovation.

00:35:09 --> 00:35:10

They saw widespread in our communities.

00:35:12 --> 00:35:14

And today as soon as you start speaking

00:35:14 --> 00:35:15

about innovation,

00:35:15 --> 00:35:17

you start speaking about mawlid

00:35:17 --> 00:35:20

or, you know, making dua to other than

00:35:20 --> 00:35:21

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,

00:35:22 --> 00:35:24

it's a problem. People don't wanna hear it.

00:35:25 --> 00:35:27

And again, it's so widespread.

00:35:28 --> 00:35:30

The meaning of the shahad is not being

00:35:30 --> 00:35:31

put into full application.

00:35:36 --> 00:35:38

The last thing, inshallah, I'm going to conclude

00:35:38 --> 00:35:39

with, biden alayhi ta'ala,

00:35:42 --> 00:35:44

is the statement of the prophet sallallahu alaihi

00:35:44 --> 00:35:44

wasallam.

00:35:46 --> 00:35:49

Brothers and sisters, if we want to have

00:35:49 --> 00:35:49

happiness,

00:35:51 --> 00:35:52

if we want the ummah

00:35:53 --> 00:35:54

to be happy again,

00:35:55 --> 00:35:58

this hadith in 5 seconds, it tells us

00:35:58 --> 00:36:00

the cure for it. We don't need to

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

lick anywhere else.

00:36:04 --> 00:36:06

And then you make the decision yourself

00:36:07 --> 00:36:08

and see

00:36:10 --> 00:36:12

if the majority of the Ummah is in

00:36:12 --> 00:36:14

agreement with or they are in contrary of

00:36:14 --> 00:36:15

it.

00:36:16 --> 00:36:19

This hadus is beta Khazib. The prophet

00:36:20 --> 00:36:21

said to us,

00:36:25 --> 00:36:27

once you start having dealings of riba,

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

And you begin to chase now

00:36:39 --> 00:36:40

the tails of the cows,

00:36:41 --> 00:36:43

and you become satisfied with the crops in

00:36:43 --> 00:36:45

the fields that you have.

00:36:45 --> 00:36:47

Meaning now you've become satisfied with the dunya.

00:36:47 --> 00:36:49

You are chasing it and that's your main

00:36:49 --> 00:36:50

goal and that's all you care about.

00:36:51 --> 00:36:53

The first thing was what? Once you start

00:36:53 --> 00:36:56

having dealings with river, you ask yourself, is

00:36:56 --> 00:36:57

this widespread or not?

00:36:58 --> 00:37:00

Are the majority of the people

00:37:02 --> 00:37:05

chasing Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala are the indulgent

00:37:05 --> 00:37:06

of dunya.

00:37:08 --> 00:37:10

And then the prophet said,

00:37:11 --> 00:37:12

and you've left

00:37:12 --> 00:37:13

the.

00:37:13 --> 00:37:15

For someone gets the wrong impression, I'm trying

00:37:15 --> 00:37:16

to encourage the people to go join ISIS.

00:37:16 --> 00:37:18

I'm not doing that.

00:37:19 --> 00:37:21

Jihad comes in different forms.

00:37:22 --> 00:37:23

One of the biggest jihad that Ibn Al

00:37:23 --> 00:37:24

Uthaim

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

mentions

00:37:26 --> 00:37:28

is striving against your nafs. Jihad al nafs

00:37:28 --> 00:37:31

striving against yourself, which is when that girl

00:37:31 --> 00:37:33

walks past that little pretty one,

00:37:33 --> 00:37:35

that you control your gaze and you look

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

down and you stay away from her.

00:37:38 --> 00:37:40

Even though it's very, very tempting to go

00:37:40 --> 00:37:41

and take a number.

00:37:43 --> 00:37:45

When there's a deal that's about to go

00:37:45 --> 00:37:47

down and you're going to make money.

00:37:48 --> 00:37:50

But you come to realization that it involves

00:37:50 --> 00:37:52

haram. That you hold yourself.

00:37:53 --> 00:37:56

Because wala brothers, if you wanna make money,

00:37:56 --> 00:37:59

there's many easy ways to make money.

00:37:59 --> 00:38:01

But you find that some of these ways

00:38:01 --> 00:38:03

that in order to make money, easy money,

00:38:03 --> 00:38:04

it has

00:38:04 --> 00:38:06

transactions that has either riba

00:38:07 --> 00:38:08

or haram stuff in it

00:38:17 --> 00:38:20

Once you start, you know, you put all

00:38:20 --> 00:38:21

of these things into application

00:38:22 --> 00:38:24

by dealing with reba, chasing the dunya, and

00:38:24 --> 00:38:25

leaving of the jihad.

00:38:26 --> 00:38:26

Jihad.

00:38:31 --> 00:38:33

Allah a zawajal will send down upon you

00:38:33 --> 00:38:34

a humiliation.

00:38:35 --> 00:38:37

He won't remove it until you come back

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

to your religion.

00:38:40 --> 00:38:42

People keep asking now, what about Donald Trump,

00:38:42 --> 00:38:45

Donald Trump, if Donald Trump takes over? People

00:38:45 --> 00:38:46

are asking this question in America.

00:38:50 --> 00:38:52

Wallahi, you know what? To be me, to

00:38:52 --> 00:38:53

be honest,

00:38:54 --> 00:38:55

I know a lot of people in America,

00:38:55 --> 00:38:57

and I know of the situation very, very

00:38:57 --> 00:38:58

well. I'm not surprised

00:38:59 --> 00:38:59

that

00:39:00 --> 00:39:01

Allah

00:39:02 --> 00:39:04

if he does take over, then he's decided

00:39:04 --> 00:39:05

to appoint him.

00:39:08 --> 00:39:10

Why? Because you find that in America, the

00:39:10 --> 00:39:12

Muslims have become more farther from their religion,

00:39:12 --> 00:39:14

more far from their religion.

00:39:14 --> 00:39:16

Marshall in Britain is a bit better,

00:39:18 --> 00:39:20

But there, they are getting more far away

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

from their religion.

00:39:22 --> 00:39:24

And this humiliation is going to keep on

00:39:24 --> 00:39:25

coming.

00:39:27 --> 00:39:29

It's going to become more and more and

00:39:29 --> 00:39:31

more until we come back to our religion.

00:39:33 --> 00:39:35

We can try every single way.

00:39:36 --> 00:39:38

We can protest all we like. Now look.

00:39:38 --> 00:39:40

I ask you a question. When protesting takes

00:39:40 --> 00:39:41

place,

00:39:41 --> 00:39:43

how many thousands of people come out? The

00:39:43 --> 00:39:44

streets are packed.

00:39:47 --> 00:39:48

Thousands come out with their flags, and they

00:39:48 --> 00:39:50

come in their numbers. Everyone's standing at the

00:39:50 --> 00:39:51

embassy

00:39:52 --> 00:39:54

doing an act that has no in our

00:39:54 --> 00:39:56

religion, no base in our religion.

00:39:57 --> 00:39:59

Haydun, a simple act that you've been told

00:39:59 --> 00:40:01

to act upon. To wake up a fajr

00:40:01 --> 00:40:02

and to pray inside the masajid.

00:40:04 --> 00:40:05

How many thousands of people are inside the

00:40:05 --> 00:40:06

masajid?

00:40:07 --> 00:40:09

To an extent now that everyone's praying in

00:40:09 --> 00:40:10

the car park,

00:40:11 --> 00:40:13

outside the gate, everybody is there.

00:40:15 --> 00:40:16

The masaajid are empty.

00:40:18 --> 00:40:20

The reason why I'm bringing these examples for

00:40:20 --> 00:40:21

the people to just see,

00:40:22 --> 00:40:24

how far when it comes to the things

00:40:24 --> 00:40:26

that have been commanded for us to do,

00:40:26 --> 00:40:28

we are so far away from it, but

00:40:28 --> 00:40:29

other things that we are so involved.

00:40:35 --> 00:40:38

Allah told us. Allah will not change the

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

state of the people

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

until they change themselves.

00:40:42 --> 00:40:46

We ask Allah to forgive us all and

00:40:46 --> 00:40:47

to make us from those who act upon

00:40:47 --> 00:40:48

these hadith

00:40:48 --> 00:40:51

and these lessons from the stories and the

00:40:51 --> 00:40:51

the Quran.

00:40:54 --> 00:40:56

Tell them of the stories in the Quran

00:40:56 --> 00:40:58

so that they may think and they use

00:40:58 --> 00:40:59

the you know, they remember.
