Brother and sisters,
Firstly, I just want to, thank the organizers
and the brothers and sisters who,
are trying very hard in order to establish,
a dawah in this place.
Said Whoever does a good or, you know,
does something nice to you, then
compensate him.
And if you're not able to do that,
then make for them.
So we ask Allah
to build barakah
into this dawah for those who are organizing
it and also for the community in order
for the religion of Allah
to be established
through it.
And before I,
move on to the lecture, Insha'Allah, I just
want to remind myself
and also my brothers and sisters
about this great blessing that Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala has blessed
some of us with.
And a lot of people, they don't have
this blessing.
On this Friday night being able to
come
and join up in this place in order
to remember the name of Allah
and the sunnah of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam.
As you are all aware, what happens on
Friday night is something that is well known.
It doesn't require
me to elaborate on it.
How many of our Muslim brothers and sisters
today you find on this Friday night,
they are clubbing,
they are partying,
they are smoking, they are doing all sorts
of
evils and unlawful stuff that Allah
has prohibited in our religion.
You know, sometimes we tend to forget.
It could have been us
who was inside this position.
You walk past the shisha bus today, you
find it's packed with Muslims,
especially on this night, on Friday night.
So we should be thankful to Allah that
he guided us to
that which we are currently doing.
There's many, many blessings that sometimes we take
for granted.
The blessing of Hidayah, guidance,
is a major thing. There's many other things.
Allah Azzawajal
told us
If you was to count
the blessings of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, you
wouldn't be able to do so.
Allah Azza wa Jal also says
Allah
has given you everything that you have asked
for.
In another ayah, it says,
And do you not see what Allah has
given to you
from the heavens and the earth? That which
is apparent and that which is hidden from
the blessings.
You know? So brothers and sisters, you find
that if we if we ourselves, we thank
Allah azza wa jal, it is us that's
benefiting.
Allah doesn't need us to thank him.
Allah
says,
oh people you
You are the ones that are in need
of Allah
Allah is not in need of you.
And what happens when we thank Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala, you find it's a means
of not only
preserving the blessing but getting more.
If you thank, I will give you more.
If you thank,
I will give you more.
You know? So just belittling
or maybe looking down on some of the
things that we have on a day to
day basis,
the money that we have,
the food and the drink that we have,
the body parts, the eyes, the, you know,
the ears and
the and the rest of the things that
Allah has given us
is something that sometimes we tend to take
for granted. Just look sometimes when
a blind boy, he walks in.
A blind boy he walks in, everyone tends
to feel sorry for him. Everyone gets upset.
Now we feel very very sorry for him,
You know? And that blind boy is only
wishing that he was like everybody else,
like the majority of the people, just so
he could have some sight or he could
have the sight in order to be able
to see. But
do we even think about it that it's
a blessing in within itself,
Or do we take it for granted because
it's something that everybody else has?
With the topic ahead, brothers and sisters,
and it's a very, very important crucial vital
topic,
the suffering of the Muslim Ummah. Or when
is the help of going
to come down? Descend from Allah
You know, this is a
very
controversial topic that some might want to call
it.
Because you find time and time again,
it is discussed by
people who are involved in politics.
The mashiach, they discuss it
and it's something that is on the table
at this very moment in time.
On social media, you find everybody coming out.
This guy says this, no. We need to
protest more.
This guy says,
we haven't signed enough petitions.
And all sorts of reasons are brought forth
as to why the Muslim Ummah is suffering.
There are some people they tend they think
that the cure
in order to finish or to get round
all these problems that the Muslim Ummah is
going through,
we need to start with the ruler.
We need to start with the ruler.
We need to topple him over. We need
to put another person in the in the
place of him.
And then after that we need to, you
know, it starts from there. And it gradually
moves within the people and inshallah wata'ala
the Muslim Ummah situation is going to become
better.
You know, brothers and sisters we can sit
here all day
and make claims
and bring forth our opinions
and write it on Facebook or Twitter or
Instagram.
The reality of the matter is that
until we
go back to the
reference point that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he
told us,
nothing's going to change.
And our opinions are just mere opinions.
Ibn Taym Rahm Allahu Ta'ala, he mentioned a
very, very powerful statement.
He said
I haven't seen anything that feeds
the mind
and also the soul
and also preserves the body of a person
and that which guarantees happiness.
More than constantly
looking,
analyzing the book of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
You know, brothers and sisters, the Eid day
that just passed us, it was a day
of happiness. Right?
It was a day of eating and drinking.
As the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam told
us,
There are days
of eating and drinking.
We were able to, masha'Allah, go to w
h Smith Toys R Us and buy Batman
and Spiderman for our kids.
It means the world to us to see
them happy.
And rightfully so, it's a day of happiness.
We want to see everyone happy.
And many of us in Britain were able
to rejoice.
Just 24 hours before that, there was videos
going around
of how
some of our brothers and sisters, our
kids, our younger brothers and sisters are being
pulled out of the rubble in Syria.
Some of them didn't didn't even have a
piece of bread
to celebrate their Eid with.
So it was very, very hard.
As the prophet
told us
how the Muslim
society, the Muslim nation should be.
The believing man with his believing brother
is like a building.
Each part of the building strengthens the other.
It came in another
narration.
If part of the body is hurting
if part of the body is hurting,
then the rest of the body hurts as
well.
The rest of the body goes through maybe
headache
and pain.
So you find it very, very difficult to
remove that from the back of our minds,
especially on 8th day
when it's a day of happiness.
But at the same time, our brothers and
sisters, they are part of us, they are
suffering.
The question is until
when? Until when we will see this happening?
Until when are they going to remain suffering?
Until
when is their situation going to remain like
this?
Like we mentioned the statement of Ibn Taym
Rahim Allahu Ta'ala. We can get all emotional
as much as we want
and revert to different ways of maybe
someone's gonna go up to town and blow
it up
or he's going to end up protesting and
he's going to get all excited.
People are going to try all these means
but our religion is not emotions.
Our religion is not using our intellects
before the book of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala's
messenger. There's people that think that this is
the cure. I need to go into the
middle of everyone. I need to blow myself
up.
When the reality of the matter is something
that the prophet salallahu alayhi wa samb prohibited.
He told us
Whoever kills himself with an iron, then he
will be punished with.
You know, brothers and sisters,
if we want the happiness
that there is that honor to enter back
into the Muslim Ummah,
then Azib Nataym
said, don't look further than the book of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
It tells us how to get the happiness.
The
problems that take place, whether it is internal
problems or external problems,
personal issues
that are specific to us or things that
are general for the Muslim ummah.
It all says in the Quran.
Allah tells us, for example, now between husband
and wife.
A divorce takes place.
He kicks her out the house. Is he
allowed to do that?
Is she allowed to leave the house? Again,
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells us how to
solve the problem.
Don't kick her out and she shouldn't leave.
Why?
Perhaps
because they stay with each other,
Allah, azza wa jal, will make something happen
between them.
But the majority of the people who do
either
he kicks her out or she goes back
to mom's house.
And then there's no happiness. They suffer for
maybe the next year and a half.
The the problem now between the father and
the son.
How do we go about solving the problem?
Prophet salawahu alaihi wa sama told us that
you're not allowed to boycott anyone for more
than 3 days.
Likewise between the mother and the daughter
and so many other issues.
Everything is found in the book of Allah.
We
haven't neglected anything from the book.
So now let's go to where Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala tells us how to attain the
happy life.
How to attain the happy life.
Very very simple.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala told us in the
Whoever now from the male
and the female,
This is real rights.
From the male and the female.
Those good deeds.
The second condition
is that he's a believer as iman.
What does Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala guarantee for
this person?
This person, we're going to give him a
good life.
The happy life that everybody craves, that even
a millionaire is looking for an trillionaire.
That he is dying to get.
Happiness is not wallahi, brothers and sisters. Waking
up in the morning and all your cars
are lined up and then you choose
Or to have all them 1,000 stacked in
your bank.
I know a lot of people like that.
I know millionaires are saying to me I
am
Ahi, please can you advise me?
Suffer from depression,
problems.
How many times have we seen London Bridge?
You don't know what London Bridge is in
London?
There's people who have so much money in
the bank, they chuck themselves over the bridge.
Recently in Nottingham, there's a big car park.
A woman chucked herself over.
She had money.
They felt they went through depression. They went
through problems in their life.
They didn't have the happy life.
And you find
from the most poorest of people.
All he cares about
is
satisfying Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
He has satisfaction and he's convinced with that
which Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
gave him.
But you find he's happy
because he does
the
He's a believer.
He
has sufficed or he's sufficient
for himself that which Allah gave him.
So brothers and sisters,
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala promises us in the
Quran
when the people,
the Muslim Ummah,
will
be established and given authority upon the earth.
When they will be given authority and established
on earth, Allah tells us.
And I wanna elaborate on this inshallah.
Allah tells us
Allah
has promised those who believe.
So again, the iman
and then those who don't do good deeds.
These people we are going to give them
authority upon the earth just like we gave
authority to us before them.
And we will give them authority.
When will this happen?
When Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala then said at
the end of the ayah,
When they established the aid, the Ibadah
is on point
and they stay away from
Someone might be wondering to himself now, okay.
We don't see anybody worshiping statues.
As this is the doubt
that many people say.
Those who have got far away from a
tawhid, okay. You're just banging on about
Is anybody here worshiping statues?
Every year when I go to Hajj,
always somehow, I end up bumping into these
people.
Because, obviously, you wanna call the people to
stowheed.
Tawhid is essential,
and it's the cure for every problem as
we're gonna explain, inshallah.
As soon as you start speaking about Tawhid,
brother, do you see anybody worshiping statues? Do
you see anybody worshiping shirk or doing shirk?
As if that's the only form
that the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and
Allah warned against.
That shows how far
we might have gone away from the basics
of our religion.
Someone that's very, very common, and let's start,
and I don't know how common it is
here in Pizarro,
is that which is pertaining
That's what they say it in Urdu. In
Arabic language, they say tama'im.
And in Somali,
forgot the word for it,
but amongst
the same lines, tama'im,
taweed,
very similar things.
Something that is so common,
but people think there is nothing wrong with
it.
So widespread.
What did the prophet
say to us about this?
Whoever hangs the talisman is fallen to shirk.
The type of that has in it.
Also, these talismans
and
means
the magic spell that they do, that the
sahir does
in order to make true people love each
other. They're all forms of shirk.
You know, brother and sister, it is so
widespread.
People call me all the time
asking for advice. Just most recently,
a brother called me. He says, my wife,
every time she hears the adhan, she goes
ballistic.
She tells me to switch her off. She
gets old, irate, problematic.
Other people have jinn issues.
Has been done on them or they they
involved somehow in, the family is.
One of the first questions that I tend
to ask them,
do you have a inside your house?
The latest person that called me
when he said that his wife, every time
she hears adhan, she switches off
or she gets angry, she gets annoyed.
That's the first question I asked him.
He checks in the back.
They find a taweez in it.
He opens it.
Do you know what he has on there,
brothers and sisters?
We are worshipers of Muhammad sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam.
And
you expect your problems to be cured and
removed.
When you're committing a shirk,
You're hanging this talisman thinking that I can
benefit and harm you.
I worked with some brothers with this thing
called Taweez project. I don't know if you'll
have seen it online.
Daring the people or challenging the people to
open the ta'weez that they have.
Once you open it, you know what has
on there? It has the name of Firaoun,
the name of Haman, the name of Qaroun.
I've seen it with my own eyes. I'm
not bringing out a story from the fabricated
books.
The name of Abu Lahab,
Iblis shaitan.
People have this issue that is so widespread.
You know, brothers and sisters, another point I
want to inshallah to'ala
make it clear to you as how
widespread these kind of things have become.
In other that which is pertaining magic
And how the basics of our religion teaches
us
that seher is from the one of the
nullifies of Islam.
Look now. I've seen this time and time
again.
Some of our kids,
they have a wand.
They're putting around
acting like the magician.
Harry Potter.
So most of us have heard about Harry
Potter.
Owns all these balaya. You find kids saying
spelling their hands around trying to act like
them.
And all these other types,
Disneyland again. Where is Disneyland?
They teach them sehar
and forms of sehar, and they end up
liking
doing what Disneyland promotes,
a I e a sehar.
Okay.
I'm not trying to say that these kids
have now become or left affordable. I'm not
saying this.
But from a very, very young age,
this becomes so normal to them.
They feel like there's no problem in their
lives.
In regards to this issue. It doesn't affect
it. There's no problem with it
because they're singing it, and they're doing it,
and they're acting like it.
Of course, they're not doing the real seher,
but they're trying to act like it,
trying to imitate the sahara, what they do.
Fortune teller, what they do, they might buy
these things, and they're doing this.
I just want to to point out the
way it could lead to.
If they are not not
taught the fundamentals of a tawhid,
then when they grow up,
when now a problem happens between a husband
and a wife,
or they're suffering from any issue whatsoever,
whether it is court problems,
she can't have a baby.
Do you know what comes through my door
every 2 to 3 months?
A card that says
call
Babu Ali.
It's a yellow one.
Has a telephone number on there,
which to call. Do you know what it
says on there? If you ever suffer from
any
marital problems, you feel like that your husband
doesn't love you or you feel like that
your wife is not inclined towards you. You're
suffering from stress, depression.
You've got court issues. Then call this number
for indeed Babu Ali is going to solve
your problems.
And people do actually call it.
If the person, he doesn't know the basics
of a tawhid,
That time when he has a problem now,
do you think he's not gonna call this
number?
These kind of people, they're very widespread. We
know a guy in Leicester.
Marshall, he has CCTV in front of his
house, and he has a Mercedes parked outside,
charging the people 100 of pounds for taweez.
And everyone that goes to him comes out
with more and bigger issues.
But they make them believe that there's a
lot of khair in it, and they lie
to them that it has the Quran inside
it. But 95% of it, it has the
names of Firaoun, Haman, Tarun.
How do we expect to have any of
our personal problems, the issues that we are
suffering from, to be changed.
Allah aza wa jal.
Just I'm going to mention this, but I'm
going to just go on to what we're
speaking about.
These teachings be doing a ta'wis
and doing
or reverting to ways that are taught in
haram.
Allah
The shaitan doesn't have any authority over those
who believe and those who put their trust
in Allah
The shaitan only has authority
over those
who befriend him.
How do you befriend the shaytan doing things
that he loves?
And those who commit shirk.
And brothers and sisters, a lot of the
people are normally possessed or have issues are
those who are far away from the region
of Allah
or they've reverted to these kind of ways.
Tawhid comes first if only the people knew.
Brothers and sisters,
just to point out to you the importance
of this matter
and how it is missing in our lives.
Is it being taught in our communities? Is
it something that is given a lot of
emphasis to? Or is it something that
is
spiritual? You find that majority of the time
it is something that is spiritual.
The first command in the Quran
is what pertaining to.
The first command.
Oh people, worship your lord. The first prohibition
in the Quran is what?
Do not
make details with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So
the first command is the the first prohibition
is stay away from shirk.
Every message of the prophet was a tawhid.
You wake up in the morning, the dua
that you read
Islam.
Again, the tawhid. When a baby comes into
the world, they read the adhan in his
ear. Again, what a tawhid.
A person is dying at the end of
his life.
Whoever's last statement is
he enters into Aljannah again to hid.
The prophet
is dying, brothers and sisters.
If this matter was a small thing, why
would the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam say
it while he's dying?
He's saying
may the curse of Allah be upon the
Jews and the Christians who took their graveyards
as spaces of worship.
So many examples that we can give. The
best ayah in the Quran, Allahu llahi ilaha
illa wa Hayyalu qayun talks about tawhid.
A third of the Quran.
That our kids even have memorized again a
Tawhid. A Surah al Quran.
Yousef gets trapped into the fire.
Sorry. Yousef gets trapped into prison
even in a position now where it's really,
really
tight,
problematic.
Is having deities or multiple gods.
Better or having the one lord,
Yusuf alaihis salatu waslam is calling the people
to a tawhid inside a prison.
All the
stories somehow are related to a Tawhid.
But, brother, since this is missing in our
communities,
This is not found.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has clearly told us
Allah
will not change the state of the people
until they shame themselves.
We can try every means. But it is
us that we need to start with ourselves,
with our families.
Save yourself and then your family from the
fire. That we start establishing a tawhid
in our households,
our families,
our children. Then it gradually increases
to our far relatives and then into our
community, into our masajid.
And that's how the suffering will be taken
away. This is how the authority will be
established upon the face of this earth through
a Tawhid.
Brothers and sisters,
our sins
that we are doing, that we might not
be taken very, very seriously,
remember
other people are going to be suffering from
what we do.
What we do with our own hands, other
people are going to be suffering for it
for it.
You are aware of the earthquake that was
taking place in America.
When I done some research, I can't remember
exactly which place it was.
There's a lot of black African Americans in
that place.
I think it was Orlando or
does anyone know?
Like, maybe a couple of years ago
where they started even eating one another.
It reached that much. They started eating one
another. Anyways,
when I've done some research
of what the community is indulged in,
you wouldn't be surprised as to why Allah
decided to send a punishment on them.
When that earthquake comes,
do you think
the good people are going to be exempted
from there?
The earthquake is not going to call you
or send you a message on what Sabrad
is going to come and take everyone.
Zaynab bin Jashar
she said to the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam,
will we be destroyed and amongst us are
the righteous?
The prophet said, naham.
Even if there's righteous people amongst you, naham.
You will be destroyed.
If evil becomes so widespread,
then everybody will be taken.
So it's a responsibility
amongst all of us
to take the initiative
of trying to change our situation.
We might be sinning here, but someone is
serious suffering because of our sins.
Just like it came in the hadith of
sin of jajah that I just mentioned.
Look now another example of sorrow to Rabia.
The example of the protesting and the revolution
that took place in Arab boat.
When Yemen was being toppled over, I was
there before the toppling took place and after.
And without defending,
the mistakes and the issues that the government
might have had at a time, Yes. There
was bribery. There was oppression. There was all
kinds of issues taking place in the government,
but they had safety
and everybody was able to get on with
their lives.
All of a sudden,
some people came out and they decided to
revolt
and to go against the ruler. Why? He's
been in charge 40 years. It's time for
a change. Democracy.
Just like we have in Britain and America.
4 years is fair. He shouldn't be keeping
it for any longer.
The scholars were saying to them, stay in
your homes.
The scholars were reading out to them. The
most authentic book after the book of Allahan
Al Bukhar is what's Sahih Muslim.
The chapter of leadership.
All the Hadith all the Hadith.
Like you have a Hadith where the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, there will come a
time.
There'll be leaders.
They won't take my guidance as a guidance.
And they won't take my sunnah.
Their hearts are like the hearts of the
shaitan. In the body of it.
The worst example was given to you. You
know the prophet
said,
If your back gets beaten and your money
gets taken, listen and obey.
Listen and obey.
They were reading these ayat or these hadiths
to them.
Not all of the people of Yemen, they
decided to revolt.
Wasn't all of
them. The widow with the kids that's at
home. The pregnant lady. The old man. The
righteous individual who doesn't want any fouls or
chaos or any problems.
He's in his
home. But some people came out, and they
decided to want to revolt and cause problems.
What happened?
Retaliation took place.
War took place. Everybody is what? Fighting one
another.
I think the revolution was around maybe 3
years ago
or a bit more than that. And to
this very day, there is no peace.
There's no amin.
In
this country, we have a blessing
that a lot of people don't hand it.
It is peace that we are able to
sleep at night and
She can't have the basic essentials of life.
What blame
or what sin
is it on the woman
who didn't take part in all of these
revolutions and all these problems that were taking
place?
Why did she have to suffer because of
this?
What sin does she do?
But because of what the rest of the
people, now that woman, the electricity that she
wants to pay for because there's no electricity
now. The gas has become so expensive.
Life is really, really hard.
Because of what some people did, everybody is
suffering from it now.
That's why we
ourselves, if we see issues that are going
wrong, we have to try and change ourselves.
Allah upon the tongue of the and also
Why were they cursed?
The evil that took place, they never disapproved
of it.
Brothers and sisters, the basics
that we need to go back to.
Again, now if you look at
just the shahada,
the meaning of the end part of the
Muhammad.
The Muhammad
is the final messenger of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala. He's his slave.
What does he mean? And now look. Are
the majority of the people in in in
agreements with? Are they putting it into application?
People just believe, okay. If I believe in
Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, fine. That's
it. I've actualized the meaning of the shahada.
If you look at the meaning, there's 3
ingredients that come with it.
To fulfill everything they ask you to do
from his commands.
And to also believe in that which he
came with, which
and to stay away from everything he prohibited.
From the things they prohibited is innovation.
They saw widespread in our communities.
And today as soon as you start speaking
about innovation,
you start speaking about mawlid
or, you know, making dua to other than
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
it's a problem. People don't wanna hear it.
And again, it's so widespread.
The meaning of the shahad is not being
put into full application.
The last thing, inshallah, I'm going to conclude
with, biden alayhi ta'ala,
is the statement of the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam.
Brothers and sisters, if we want to have
happiness,
if we want the ummah
to be happy again,
this hadith in 5 seconds, it tells us
the cure for it. We don't need to
lick anywhere else.
And then you make the decision yourself
and see
if the majority of the Ummah is in
agreement with or they are in contrary of
it.
This hadus is beta Khazib. The prophet
said to us,
once you start having dealings of riba,
And you begin to chase now
the tails of the cows,
and you become satisfied with the crops in
the fields that you have.
Meaning now you've become satisfied with the dunya.
You are chasing it and that's your main
goal and that's all you care about.
The first thing was what? Once you start
having dealings with river, you ask yourself, is
this widespread or not?
Are the majority of the people
chasing Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala are the indulgent
of dunya.
And then the prophet said,
and you've left
the.
For someone gets the wrong impression, I'm trying
to encourage the people to go join ISIS.
I'm not doing that.
Jihad comes in different forms.
One of the biggest jihad that Ibn Al
Uthaim
mentions
is striving against your nafs. Jihad al nafs
striving against yourself, which is when that girl
walks past that little pretty one,
that you control your gaze and you look
down and you stay away from her.
Even though it's very, very tempting to go
and take a number.
When there's a deal that's about to go
down and you're going to make money.
But you come to realization that it involves
haram. That you hold yourself.
Because wala brothers, if you wanna make money,
there's many easy ways to make money.
But you find that some of these ways
that in order to make money, easy money,
it has
transactions that has either riba
or haram stuff in it
Once you start, you know, you put all
of these things into application
by dealing with reba, chasing the dunya, and
leaving of the jihad.
Jihad.
Allah a zawajal will send down upon you
a humiliation.
He won't remove it until you come back
to your religion.
People keep asking now, what about Donald Trump,
Donald Trump, if Donald Trump takes over? People
are asking this question in America.
Wallahi, you know what? To be me, to
be honest,
I know a lot of people in America,
and I know of the situation very, very
well. I'm not surprised
that
Allah
if he does take over, then he's decided
to appoint him.
Why? Because you find that in America, the
Muslims have become more farther from their religion,
more far from their religion.
Marshall in Britain is a bit better,
But there, they are getting more far away
from their religion.
And this humiliation is going to keep on
coming.
It's going to become more and more and
more until we come back to our religion.
We can try every single way.
We can protest all we like. Now look.
I ask you a question. When protesting takes
place,
how many thousands of people come out? The
streets are packed.
Thousands come out with their flags, and they
come in their numbers. Everyone's standing at the
embassy
doing an act that has no in our
religion, no base in our religion.
Haydun, a simple act that you've been told
to act upon. To wake up a fajr
and to pray inside the masajid.
How many thousands of people are inside the
masajid?
To an extent now that everyone's praying in
the car park,
outside the gate, everybody is there.
The masaajid are empty.
The reason why I'm bringing these examples for
the people to just see,
how far when it comes to the things
that have been commanded for us to do,
we are so far away from it, but
other things that we are so involved.
Allah told us. Allah will not change the
state of the people
until they change themselves.
We ask Allah to forgive us all and
to make us from those who act upon
these hadith
and these lessons from the stories and the
the Quran.
Tell them of the stories in the Quran
so that they may think and they use
the you know, they remember.
