more saloon.

00:04:30 --> 00:04:31

I'm

00:04:35 --> 00:04:38

going to

00:04:39 --> 00:04:44

conclude the series of outreach that I started at the beginning of

00:04:44 --> 00:04:48

this month, the month of August, which we have tried to make the

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

month of outreach, or Dawa, for us here at this masjid, with the

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

intention of encouraging people to perform Dawa in their daily lives,

00:04:55 --> 00:04:59

and bring some of the brothers and sisters who don't come to massage

00:04:59 --> 00:04:59

it to.

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

Masjid and to help them find their

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

their space in it,

00:05:06 --> 00:05:11

help them feel welcome within the houses of Allah subhanahu wa, to

00:05:11 --> 00:05:16

become again the center of the Muslim society. And I'm going to

00:05:16 --> 00:05:19

conclude the the series of khutbas on this topic with this story that

00:05:19 --> 00:05:23

I think is it's very beautiful and worthy of your time in terms of

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

listening to it and hopefully learning the

00:05:26 --> 00:05:28

the lessons that it carries and it contains

00:05:30 --> 00:05:31

before I do however,

00:05:34 --> 00:05:39

I we're coming with this is the coming towards the end of August,

00:05:39 --> 00:05:42

in a few weeks. It'll be 11 months. Very soon, it'll be a full

00:05:42 --> 00:05:45

year since October 7,

00:05:46 --> 00:05:52

a full year. I cannot imagine any other group on the planet going

00:05:52 --> 00:05:56

through what we have went through as an ummah collectively for a

00:05:56 --> 00:06:02

full year, and for the world to accept it, or to play along with

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

it, or for the world in general, for them to feel that the

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

something that is chronic and it can be just pushed down, it's like

00:06:09 --> 00:06:12

a it's a kid, it's a tin can. You can put it kick down the curb, and

00:06:12 --> 00:06:15

someone else can deal with it. It doesn't have to be dealt with

00:06:15 --> 00:06:18

acutely or immediately. I just can't imagine any other group

00:06:19 --> 00:06:24

where the problem itself gets so much media attention and yet

00:06:24 --> 00:06:29

nothing changes. Now mind you, we have to be honest and and clear

00:06:29 --> 00:06:32

about the fact that there are a lot of acts of transgression and

00:06:32 --> 00:06:35

oppression that occur in parts of the world where there is very,

00:06:35 --> 00:06:39

very little media attention and things don't change. There are

00:06:39 --> 00:06:42

parts of the world where Muslims and non other, other groups of

00:06:42 --> 00:06:47

people are being Yani, oppressed and and persecuted in horrific

00:06:47 --> 00:06:49

ways. It just doesn't get a lot of immediate attention. So I

00:06:49 --> 00:06:51

understand that way. It doesn't get media attention, that it

00:06:51 --> 00:06:54

doesn't end as quickly. I'm not defending and saying it's okay,

00:06:54 --> 00:06:57

it's just as bad, but I'm trying to explain that, that that does

00:06:57 --> 00:07:00

happen, but for us, as for this problem, what's happening in the

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

Holy Land? What's happened to people of Laza? It's been has been

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

on the news for literally the full 10 months. It is the first and

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

last, or first, second and last piece of news on most media

00:07:10 --> 00:07:14

outlets in the world. And yet this still hasn't ended. And this tells

00:07:14 --> 00:07:18

me something. And I know you don't want to hear this from an imam or

00:07:18 --> 00:07:21

from anyone, but it just there's a facts here that we have to we have

00:07:21 --> 00:07:24

to make peace with if we're going to change, we have to acknowledge

00:07:25 --> 00:07:29

that we, our blood, is not seen as equal to the rest of the world's

00:07:29 --> 00:07:33

that there are, there's a certain degree of

00:07:34 --> 00:07:37

the certain degree of of levels that exist within the world,

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

amongst people in terms of their value, and We don't rank that

00:07:40 --> 00:07:44

high. We don't rank that high. Now there are people who rank way, way

00:07:44 --> 00:07:48

worse me. No one even cares to watch them. The point, the reason

00:07:48 --> 00:07:52

I'm making this point is because in the eyes of Allah, all humanity

00:07:52 --> 00:07:55

and all living things are equal. No one is better than anyone. No

00:07:55 --> 00:07:58

one gets to be treated as a first class citizen and others as a

00:07:58 --> 00:08:01

second class citizen of the world. We're all the same. Any form of

00:08:01 --> 00:08:06

oppression, any blood that is being spilled unrightfully should

00:08:06 --> 00:08:09

be, should get the same exact response from all human being and

00:08:09 --> 00:08:12

all mankind. It doesn't. It doesn't,

00:08:13 --> 00:08:17

and ours, for sure, doesn't, and it hasn't for a long time. And in

00:08:17 --> 00:08:20

order for that to change, we have to change. There has to be a

00:08:20 --> 00:08:21

change that comes from within us.

00:08:22 --> 00:08:27

Don't expect ever for others to value you. If you don't value you,

00:08:28 --> 00:08:34

do not ever expect others to value this ummah, if we don't value it,

00:08:34 --> 00:08:39

if I don't see your blood and your life and the sanctity of your

00:08:39 --> 00:08:44

rights to be sacred at the highest level, then I cannot expect others

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

to feel that way. If we don't treat each other with the highest

00:08:48 --> 00:08:53

regards of respect, love and sanctity, then others will not and

00:08:53 --> 00:08:57

it is foolish, in my opinion, for us to actually expect others to do

00:08:57 --> 00:09:01

so when we don't ourselves, when we don't respect to one another

00:09:01 --> 00:09:03

the way we should, where we don't see our rights to be as sacred as

00:09:03 --> 00:09:06

Allah. Subhanaw taala has explained to us, they might they

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

must be, and that's just a point for reflection that I think is

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

important.

00:09:12 --> 00:09:15

The story of many a scene is a famous one in the Quran, and

00:09:15 --> 00:09:17

you've all heard it before.

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

The surah is called the heart of the Quran, and although the Hadith

00:09:22 --> 00:09:26

that actually mentions that lacks authenticity, in fact, the

00:09:26 --> 00:09:29

majority of Muslim scholars and MUFA city, and specifically the

00:09:29 --> 00:09:32

people of tafsir, have accepted this as as a fact that I think

00:09:32 --> 00:09:35

there's a read, there's a good reason for it, because Surat ya

00:09:35 --> 00:09:39

seen, exists in the Quran within a cluster from Laza to Azuma, and it

00:09:39 --> 00:09:43

talks about certain aspects of obedience and submission to Allah

00:09:43 --> 00:09:48

subhanahu wa talks about the fact that when you obey, when you

00:09:48 --> 00:09:52

submit, when you carry Islam in your heart the way you should,

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

then you are granted eternal life, not the life of the body, but the

00:09:56 --> 00:09:59

life of the Spirit, which is much more important the body expires

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

with.

00:10:00 --> 00:10:03

Time, all of us will expire at one point 100 years from now, no one

00:10:03 --> 00:10:06

sitting in this room will be alive. We'll all be under the

00:10:06 --> 00:10:08

ground, and there'll be a completely different group of

00:10:08 --> 00:10:11

human beings on the planet. So it's not a very long period of

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

time before we're all gone. The body doesn't doesn't live that

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

long. But the spirit can live for a very long time, and a spirit can

00:10:17 --> 00:10:22

be dead inside a living body, and a spirit can be alive with a dead

00:10:22 --> 00:10:26

body, and it's that life that Allah subhanahu wa sees to be more

00:10:26 --> 00:10:29

valuable, and that's the life we should be looking forward to

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

having in our life. That's what we should be trying to achieve and

00:10:31 --> 00:10:35

obtain, is that eternal life of the Spirit, which is what Surat ya

00:10:35 --> 00:10:39

seen talks about. And that's why I believe a lot of Muslims like to

00:10:39 --> 00:10:42

recite it upon their dead when they pass away, even though

00:10:42 --> 00:10:45

there's lack of authenticity for that. But the scholars of Islam

00:10:45 --> 00:10:48

have always done this because their understanding of Surah sin

00:10:48 --> 00:10:52

is that within it, the secret of what life is, of what life

00:10:52 --> 00:10:55

actually is. You find it in the Surah, and I'm going to give you

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

the and of course, yeah, you can listen to the full tafsir of the

00:10:58 --> 00:11:00

surah. I have a couple of them online. You're welcome to listen

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

to it, but I want to share with you this specific story that the

00:11:03 --> 00:11:07

surah is most known for. The story occurs

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

a number

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

of centuries before Asahi Salam, even though, if you go to the

00:11:13 --> 00:11:15

books of tafsir, you're going to find something different. I'm

00:11:15 --> 00:11:18

going to tell you right now, if you go to books of tafsir, you

00:11:18 --> 00:11:20

will find a different way of putting this. They look at it as

00:11:20 --> 00:11:23

something that happened after Asahi Salam is one of the and the

00:11:23 --> 00:11:26

actual, actual messengers in the village were amongst the apostles

00:11:26 --> 00:11:29

of assalam. There's absolutely no evidence to support any of that.

00:11:29 --> 00:11:32

And I spent a reasonable amount of time looking at the historic,

00:11:32 --> 00:11:35

historical aspect of the story. So I feel quite comfortable sharing

00:11:35 --> 00:11:38

with you what my findings are, what I feel to be the more

00:11:38 --> 00:11:42

accurate piece. This has happened Mullah quite a bit before before.

00:11:42 --> 00:11:46

As what the scholars did point out is that it happened in a place

00:11:46 --> 00:11:48

called Antakya, which is a part of

00:11:49 --> 00:11:55

of Turkey today. And if you look up something called Mount Nimrod,

00:11:55 --> 00:11:59

if you look that up, then you'll find these very weird pictures of

00:11:59 --> 00:12:03

of Asmaa of different different sizes and different and different

00:12:03 --> 00:12:07

types that were built and put there by a king. The king's name

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

is on tokios, the first and, and because of him, the whole area,

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

the region was named anto Kia and, and where the city is today is not

00:12:15 --> 00:12:19

exactly where this story occurred, but it's within that, that whole

00:12:20 --> 00:12:23

piece of land that I have, that I have put for you in, that I have

00:12:23 --> 00:12:26

circled for you. We used to be called on Pakia, that whole area

00:12:26 --> 00:12:29

only a couple of centuries after A salaam, a couple of centuries

00:12:29 --> 00:12:33

later, meaning that maybe 1700s or 1600s it was called the city was

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

called on Pakia, but that whole area was called that way before.

00:12:36 --> 00:12:39

And I like that, because it kind of gives you a little bit of a

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

context of where this story actually occurred, and it occurred

00:12:41 --> 00:12:44

over in that where mount Nimrod, Nimrod is. And if you ever go to

00:12:44 --> 00:12:48

Turkey and go see where this happened, and Allah tells us this

00:12:48 --> 00:12:51

story. It's a very unique story. It's very unique. And the reason

00:12:51 --> 00:12:53

that I think that this is important, that this sharing, this

00:12:53 --> 00:12:56

piece is important. It means, if you go online, you look up this

00:12:56 --> 00:12:58

king bloke is the first, and you study, you find that they don't

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

have any records of him. After a certain point, no records of him

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

at all. They don't know what happened. They have no idea what

00:13:04 --> 00:13:07

happened to this king or his people after a certain point, like

00:13:07 --> 00:13:12

the historians from Harvard, they have some theories, but they have

00:13:12 --> 00:13:15

no evidence to support it. They have no there's no usually when

00:13:15 --> 00:13:19

kings die, there's usually a burial space where they're able to

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21

find because people care when their kings die, they make big

00:13:21 --> 00:13:24

big, but there's nothing there was. There's absolutely no

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

evidence of what happened to this gentleman or with the people who

00:13:26 --> 00:13:29

are living in the area. They just disappear. This fell off the map

00:13:29 --> 00:13:32

at some point, historically, and no one can account for what

00:13:32 --> 00:13:35

happened to them. Which makes me believe that this is a part of the

00:13:35 --> 00:13:39

story that I'm telling you today, the story of mukman Yasin, where

00:13:39 --> 00:13:42

Allah subhana tells us and give them the story. Tell them the

00:13:42 --> 00:13:46

story of us. Hab al Tahrir means a town or a city that has mixed

00:13:46 --> 00:13:49

people, and it's known for this gentleman, this this king on

00:13:49 --> 00:13:54

tokyus that he was from, was from Persian and Roman Greek lineage.

00:13:54 --> 00:13:57

This is very, very rare. Historically, almost never do the

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

Iranians and Greek or the Romans come together at all. But in his

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

in his reign, he was seen as a demigod, and he was seen,

00:14:03 --> 00:14:07

obviously, this is all a lie, but he was seen from the descendant,

00:14:07 --> 00:14:11

descendant of both the Persians and the Greek. And within his city

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

lived people from different backgrounds, which is why Allah

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

calls it a tariah. And the word Karina Quran usually means a town

00:14:16 --> 00:14:19

or a city that has different different races, not not all the

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

same.

00:14:22 --> 00:14:27

I as the messengers came to them. Messengers. Allah uses that term.

00:14:27 --> 00:14:29

So when you go to the books of sin, and they say it was yani

00:14:29 --> 00:14:33

abulus, and some these are all Harari Yun. These are all apostles

00:14:33 --> 00:14:36

of Asahi Salam. They're not messengers. And we know them well,

00:14:36 --> 00:14:39

and the Quran knows them well, and the Quran loves it. How are you?

00:14:39 --> 00:14:42

We speak to them. Speak of them very highly. He uses the word more

00:14:42 --> 00:14:45

salon. They're not they were sent messengers.

00:14:46 --> 00:14:51

Name this specific area received two messengers, which is very

00:14:51 --> 00:14:56

rare, very few times. Do you find an example of a city or a group of

00:14:56 --> 00:14:59

people receiving two messengers? I can think of Asa Yahi alaihi

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

salam.

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

You can say Musa and haram, but that's different. Was added on by

00:15:03 --> 00:15:06

Musa al assalamu to stand up in front of our own man. Father and

00:15:06 --> 00:15:09

son was different. One was moving on, one was moving in. But for two

00:15:09 --> 00:15:12

messengers to come at the same time to talk about the same thing,

00:15:12 --> 00:15:16

right? Is very rare. It doesn't happen very often, but in Surah

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

does, and they were both as the meaning they're both supporting

00:15:21 --> 00:15:24

each other's story. No, not one of the messengers saying that no

00:15:24 --> 00:15:27

one's a liar, and now it's no, no, it's not a mess. They're both

00:15:27 --> 00:15:29

coming. They both have their miracles. They have their

00:15:29 --> 00:15:31

arguments. They're both supporting each other's story, and they're

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

calling people to Allah subhanahu wa

00:15:34 --> 00:15:38

taala, because the buhuma and they refuse people refuse to listen to

00:15:38 --> 00:15:42

them. Faz does not be talif. So we sent a third. Now, that never

00:15:42 --> 00:15:44

happened before. Three. No, I too. I can give you a few examples

00:15:44 --> 00:15:47

here. And there are three. I don't have any. This is the only example

00:15:47 --> 00:15:50

I have of three at the same time as nabita, three messengers. Three

00:15:50 --> 00:15:53

messengers. I want to think about that concept. You're living in a

00:15:53 --> 00:15:57

place where there are three prophets of God, three with their

00:15:57 --> 00:15:59

scripture, with their miracle, miracles, and with their duties

00:15:59 --> 00:16:02

from Allah, subhanaw taala, three for ISIS Nabi said this story, had

00:16:02 --> 00:16:05

it not been the Quran, would be impossible to believe, and no one

00:16:05 --> 00:16:08

would accept it from Anisha, like, if any, she has told this story

00:16:08 --> 00:16:10

because he heard it from then people will say, don't tell that

00:16:10 --> 00:16:13

story again. It makes no sense. But because it's in the Quran, we

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

have you have to listen to it. Faz Nabi said it three messengers,

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

same group of people, not over time, at the same time fakalu, and

00:16:19 --> 00:16:23

they said to collectively, in illegal salon, we are sent to you

00:16:24 --> 00:16:29

by Allah. They answered them. Man to mil, Bashaw, Mithuna, wama and

00:16:29 --> 00:16:34

Salah manumi, Shay in in to ill, take the boon. They said, You're

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

nothing but human beings like us and the Rahman. If you are

00:16:37 --> 00:16:41

complaint claiming that there is a Rahman, he did not send anything.

00:16:41 --> 00:16:44

You are doing nothing but lying. You're all just conspiring and

00:16:44 --> 00:16:49

lying together. Paulu, they responded to them in irekum, la

00:16:49 --> 00:16:53

more saloon, wama, Alaina, illalbala ul Mubin, they said, Our

00:16:53 --> 00:16:58

Lord knows that we have sent he has sent us to you, and our job is

00:16:58 --> 00:17:02

only. Bala UL Mubin, our only job is just to clarify things for you.

00:17:02 --> 00:17:05

Al Bala is transmitting a message al mubeen with clarity.

00:17:07 --> 00:17:12

It's an important piece. Their job is to transmit with clarity.

00:17:12 --> 00:17:16

That's it. That has always been the case for all prophets. Their

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

job is only to clarify the message. That's it. It's up to you

00:17:20 --> 00:17:23

to embrace, it's up to you to accept, it's up to you to

00:17:23 --> 00:17:26

acknowledge, it's up to you to practice. It's up to you to adhere

00:17:26 --> 00:17:27

to it.

00:17:28 --> 00:17:32

Our job is just to clarify, make sure that it's clear people can

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

understand what it's

00:17:36 --> 00:17:39

saying. Now they talk about treating them with superstition.

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

I'm going to skip that piece because that's its own. I'm not

00:17:43 --> 00:17:49

going to talk to men Nakum when I am a son namin Paulo Taylor,

00:17:49 --> 00:17:54

Kumaon Muslim phone, they start calling them. Yeah, you're the

00:17:54 --> 00:17:57

you're a bad omen upon us. You are a bad omen upon us. The three of

00:17:57 --> 00:18:01

you have come and you're brought with you bad things. It's

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

superstition, and that's a whole different story, but that's what

00:18:04 --> 00:18:06

they called them. They started making them a bit, oh man, they

00:18:06 --> 00:18:10

said it's not it's not the case. Now, coming to the story of the

00:18:10 --> 00:18:13

believer of Yasin is what Allah subhanahu says in describing him,

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

waja, mean apos Medina tea, Raju, and from the far outskirts of the

00:18:20 --> 00:18:23

city, a man came running.

00:18:24 --> 00:18:28

This is the description Yasa running, similarly when Allah

00:18:28 --> 00:18:34

speaks about Musa Islam in his story, Medina, yes, Ali

00:18:35 --> 00:18:39

Islam. The the came running to tell him, Look, they're going to

00:18:39 --> 00:18:42

kill you. Get out. He had the same. He needs to save Musa. So

00:18:42 --> 00:18:46

Allah uses the same wording, so that you can make the draw the

00:18:46 --> 00:18:49

parallel. Just like that man came running quickly wanting to save

00:18:49 --> 00:18:53

Musa. Is from murder. This man came running quickly as well, but

00:18:53 --> 00:18:58

he changes a piece of the ayah. He says, I mean, instead of saying A

00:18:58 --> 00:19:01

man came first, he said from the outskirts, to emphasize the fact

00:19:01 --> 00:19:05

that he lived, he lives far away. He didn't live in the middle of

00:19:05 --> 00:19:08

the city. Now, he lived outside of this on the outskirts of the city,

00:19:08 --> 00:19:11

meaning he didn't necessarily feel, he didn't have to feel that

00:19:11 --> 00:19:14

he was a part of the city, because he was somewhere on the outskirts.

00:19:14 --> 00:19:17

It's like where you're living in the suburbs, and there's somewhere

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

in the metropolitan he doesn't live down there in the middle. So

00:19:20 --> 00:19:23

technically he could, he could have easily said, it's really not

00:19:23 --> 00:19:25

my problem. I don't live there. They've always had problems in the

00:19:25 --> 00:19:28

city. It's a big mess. It's a lot of corruption. I don't get

00:19:28 --> 00:19:30

involved. I don't like going there altogether. But he didn't, the

00:19:30 --> 00:19:33

Quran is here to emphasize that he lived far away. He didn't have to

00:19:33 --> 00:19:36

come like he wasn't living in the middle of the city, and he saw all

00:19:36 --> 00:19:39

of this happening. So he spoke to his people. No, he came running

00:19:39 --> 00:19:43

from afar, because he lives in a Medina way at the way at the end,

00:19:44 --> 00:19:47

by the way, his name and he's unknown to us. Some scholars call

00:19:47 --> 00:19:49

him, have even the job, but we don't know that for sure. There's

00:19:49 --> 00:19:52

no There's no authentic evidence that's his name, but that's what

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

they call

00:19:53 --> 00:19:57

him. Paula, is what he says. It's the wording. It's his words in the

00:19:57 --> 00:19:59

Surah that I want you to listen to, because they are very.

00:20:01 --> 00:20:04

They're filled with wisdom and beauty. Paula ya Callum, me it

00:20:04 --> 00:20:06

debier, saline. My people

00:20:08 --> 00:20:14

follow the messengers. It tabir omelah, yes. Alukum, Aja Rahul,

00:20:15 --> 00:20:17

follow those who ask you for nothing. In return, they're not

00:20:17 --> 00:20:21

asking you for money. Wahoo, and they are guided ones

00:20:22 --> 00:20:23

before I continue.

00:20:28 --> 00:20:31

The first question you have to ask yourself is, why does he care?

00:20:33 --> 00:20:38

Would it? Is it even seen as reasonable for him to care in this

00:20:38 --> 00:20:44

situation? Could you not almost make an argument to say that he's

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

a little

00:20:49 --> 00:20:53

bit of a marital Kumail Ani, right? It's a good sign of your

00:20:53 --> 00:20:56

Islam. You leave, but you're not. There are three prophets that

00:20:56 --> 00:20:59

Allah sent, three messengers that Allah sent.

00:21:01 --> 00:21:04

Maybe he didn't need to say anything. Maybe he could have just

00:21:04 --> 00:21:07

held his tongue, let the prophets do their job and mind his own

00:21:07 --> 00:21:11

business. He already lives in the outskirts of the I have in my mind

00:21:11 --> 00:21:15

a couple of arguments for why this gentleman, Yasin, would not need

00:21:15 --> 00:21:17

to do this at all. Number one, I don't really live in the city.

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

They are telling the honey the they are telling these mursalin,

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

we're going to come, we're going to we're going to stone you to

00:21:26 --> 00:21:28

death. That's what they told them. If you don't stop doing this, we

00:21:28 --> 00:21:33

will stone you to death. So these people are violent. He doesn't

00:21:33 --> 00:21:34

really live amongst them,

00:21:35 --> 00:21:38

forgive me, they're very ignorant. They're superstitious. They're

00:21:38 --> 00:21:41

someone's coming to them with guidance, and they say you're a

00:21:41 --> 00:21:44

bad omen. Oh, my God, I'm getting all this negative energy from you.

00:21:44 --> 00:21:47

Stay away from me. I don't know what you're doing to our economy.

00:21:47 --> 00:21:52

You're taking away whatever very ignorant, a very ignorant

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

narrative that they're showing. So this man who lives in the altar to

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

the

00:21:56 --> 00:21:59

city is being knows that the messengers of God themselves,

00:21:59 --> 00:22:02

himself are being threatened with violence. The people that they are

00:22:02 --> 00:22:06

speaking to are extremely ignorant. Are extremely ignorant.

00:22:07 --> 00:22:10

There are already three people to do this job who are given the duty

00:22:10 --> 00:22:13

by God. He was not giving that duty by Allah Himself. Or was he?

00:22:13 --> 00:22:16

He could have said, I Why do I need to get involved? This is

00:22:16 --> 00:22:20

absolutely not my business. Not only is not my business, I hope,

00:22:20 --> 00:22:23

Inshallah, I hope they burn. This is how ignorant they are there.

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

This is what they're saying to their prophets. They're telling

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

them that we're going to kill you to keep on speaking. They're

00:22:27 --> 00:22:30

calling them bad omens for bringing them guidance and that

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

they should all burn.

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

There's so many ways munyasin could have thought about this

00:22:34 --> 00:22:38

problem and dealt with that most of us would see to be no very

00:22:38 --> 00:22:41

reasonable. It's a reasonable thing. Yeah, the bad people, not

00:22:41 --> 00:22:45

good people. They lack. They lack the basic decency, like basic

00:22:45 --> 00:22:49

understanding. His understanding of Islam, his understanding of his

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

Deen, is that he was going to come running from the outskirts of the

00:22:51 --> 00:22:55

Medina, knowing that the messengers themselves are being

00:22:55 --> 00:22:59

threatened with death, with being murdered for saying, what, what

00:22:59 --> 00:23:02

they were saying. So he's gonna come running from the outskirts of

00:23:02 --> 00:23:05

the city to talk to the people who just threatened their prophets

00:23:05 --> 00:23:08

with death, the people who are calling their prophets a bad omen.

00:23:08 --> 00:23:12

Superstitiously, he doesn't really belong to them. Doesn't live

00:23:12 --> 00:23:15

amongst them, and he's not given this job. They are. He has a

00:23:15 --> 00:23:19

million reasons not to do but he comes and does it anyway, and this

00:23:19 --> 00:23:22

way he says, Yo, my people, it tabular and more selling. Follow

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

the follow the messengers. Follow the ones who don't ask you for

00:23:25 --> 00:23:28

anything. Now, I can take that piece and make a power out of it

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

easily,

00:23:29 --> 00:23:32

but I wouldn't need you to be attended. I need all the come

00:23:32 --> 00:23:35

intended and all the DUA to attend, it to listen, because it's

00:23:35 --> 00:23:39

what this is repeated in the Quran at least eight different times.

00:23:40 --> 00:23:43

Why I call me that as a local Malay himala wala, kumalahi,

00:23:43 --> 00:23:46

ajula, time and time again, you find the same wording, I'm not

00:23:46 --> 00:23:49

asking you for anything. I offer you the guidance. I offer you the

00:23:49 --> 00:23:53

and then you do what you want with it. That's what Prophet say. This

00:23:53 --> 00:23:57

is minis argument to them. Are they corrupt? Are they asking you

00:23:57 --> 00:24:01

for your money? Are they saying if you want your more Asana to pay me

00:24:01 --> 00:24:04

this much if you want your say to be forgiven. Pay this much if they

00:24:04 --> 00:24:08

make are they asking you for anything? It Debi or Malaya saluk,

00:24:09 --> 00:24:14

not asking you for any, for a salary? Well, home to doon and

00:24:14 --> 00:24:18

they are people of guidance. Look at them. Look at their lives. How

00:24:18 --> 00:24:21

do they know that they're people of guidance? It's not hard to find

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

out if someone is guided or not. It's not that difficult. Just

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

observe them. Observe their lifestyle. See how they are at

00:24:27 --> 00:24:30

work, see how they are with their neighbors, see how they are with

00:24:30 --> 00:24:33

their parents, see how they are with their children and wives. See

00:24:33 --> 00:24:36

how they are with their friends. See how they are in life, and

00:24:36 --> 00:24:39

you'll know if they are guided or if they're not. So he's telling

00:24:39 --> 00:24:42

them, Oh, dadoon, you all know who these people are. You all know who

00:24:42 --> 00:24:46

these three people are, and what ethics they carry, and what moral

00:24:46 --> 00:24:50

compass they lived by, and what standard they held themselves to.

00:24:50 --> 00:24:52

They are guided. You know they are guided. You may not like their

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

guidance, but you know that they are you can't walk around saying,

00:24:55 --> 00:24:58

Oh, these, these were all a bunch of hooligans, three, three people

00:24:58 --> 00:24:59

who had nothing else, three trouble make.

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

Three con men who became prophets. No, no. Three people of excellent

00:25:03 --> 00:25:06

ethics, of excellent behavior, who muktadun.

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

This is the argument Yasin is making. Within it are all these

00:25:10 --> 00:25:16

gems for us to learn, wamalia, Abu Dharani, what Eli, he told ya why?

00:25:16 --> 00:25:20

Why would I not worship the one who created me from nothing? What

00:25:20 --> 00:25:22

ELA he told your own and you will all return to Him.

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

This is, this is the voice of a man who was worried for his

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

people,

00:25:29 --> 00:25:33

of a person who was worried for his people. He didn't want them to

00:25:33 --> 00:25:36

be punished. Yes, they were acting ignorantly. Yes, they were

00:25:36 --> 00:25:40

behaving in a way that is inappropriate. They are making

00:25:40 --> 00:25:44

horrible mistakes. They are making horrible threats. But in his

00:25:44 --> 00:25:47

heart, he wanted them to find the guidance that he had found in his

00:25:47 --> 00:25:50

life. He didn't want them to be punished. He didn't want them to

00:25:50 --> 00:25:53

be removed. He didn't want to be seen as the best one amongst them,

00:25:53 --> 00:25:56

Yom al Qaeda. He didn't want them all to fail so that he and he

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

succeed, so he could stand there and say, I told you so, and be

00:25:58 --> 00:26:01

seen as something superior. No, he didn't want any of that. He wanted

00:26:01 --> 00:26:07

His people to be saved. He loved them from Ali Allah Abu Dharani,

00:26:07 --> 00:26:11

what a he told your own attack. He do mean, do any he early? Huh? You

00:26:11 --> 00:26:14

want me to take, aside from him, all of those

00:26:15 --> 00:26:21

idols that you've made in you read in your Rahman will be an issue

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

for a to whom she own. What are you doing? If the Rahman wants me

00:26:27 --> 00:26:31

to be in harm, then their intercession will help me in no

00:26:31 --> 00:26:36

way, and they cannot save me in the either moving. And if I do end

00:26:36 --> 00:26:40

up worshiping these idols, then I am in a state of complete loss and

00:26:40 --> 00:26:45

misguidance in the tub become first maroon,

00:26:47 --> 00:26:51

first Maroon. Listen to me. Indeed, I have accepted faith and

00:26:51 --> 00:26:54

belief and Iman in your Lord fesma. Oh, listen to me.

00:26:55 --> 00:27:01

The Quran skips what happens next and just jumps. It jumps to a

00:27:01 --> 00:27:08

conclusion that happens later. The Quran says he is told, enter,

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

enter Jannah.

00:27:11 --> 00:27:12

They killed him.

00:27:14 --> 00:27:15

They brutally murdered him. He

00:27:16 --> 00:27:21

was a young man the family and kids, hopes and prospects,

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

ambition, plans for the future. They brutally murdered him. I am

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

hesitant to tell you the story of how they did it, because there are

00:27:30 --> 00:27:33

children here, so I won't. You can go look it up yourself. They

00:27:33 --> 00:27:38

brutally murdered him in a horrible manner, in cold blood,

00:27:38 --> 00:27:44

ruthlessly took his life because he came to remind them, because he

00:27:44 --> 00:27:47

came to to get them, maybe, to listen to these prophets, so that

00:27:47 --> 00:27:52

they wouldn't lose out on the chance of guidance. So he dies, so

00:27:52 --> 00:27:54

his Lord tells him enter Jannah,

00:27:56 --> 00:28:01

the first words to come out of his mouth. Ya takaumi, Alamo, nabima,

00:28:01 --> 00:28:07

Rafa, Ali, Rabi wa ja Oh, how I wish my people knew.

00:28:08 --> 00:28:14

Oh how I wish my people it's oh how I wish my people knew, how my

00:28:14 --> 00:28:17

Lord has forgiven all of my sins and elevated my status. If they

00:28:17 --> 00:28:20

knew, if they knew, they would have accepted Iman right now, but

00:28:20 --> 00:28:23

they can't. They just killed you. They took you away from your

00:28:23 --> 00:28:26

children. They took you away from your spouse and from your loved

00:28:26 --> 00:28:27

ones and from your life.

00:28:28 --> 00:28:34

This is a degree of dedication to Iman that is worthy of applause

00:28:35 --> 00:28:38

and worthy of being impressed by which is why it's a story of in

00:28:39 --> 00:28:42

the Quran, and it's in Suratul. Ya seen? He see, he died, but his

00:28:42 --> 00:28:46

legacy didn't. His body died, but his spirit didn't. His legacy

00:28:46 --> 00:28:49

lived on, lived on and on until this day, it lives on. We still

00:28:49 --> 00:28:52

tell the story. We still learn from it. It's not about the life

00:28:52 --> 00:28:55

of the body. It's about the life of the rock. It's about you

00:28:55 --> 00:28:58

finding guidance and you finding enlightenment, and living,

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

actually living life,

00:29:01 --> 00:29:05

not being a passenger as life passes you by. Standing there

00:29:05 --> 00:29:08

watching life pass you by, you actually live it to its utmost

00:29:08 --> 00:29:11

extent, which may mean sometimes that you don't live that long, but

00:29:11 --> 00:29:15

you live and you live well, and you help others live well too. And

00:29:15 --> 00:29:19

that's what he did. He died young, but he doesn't matter, because he

00:29:19 --> 00:29:24

lived. He truly lived, and it was told the first words out of his

00:29:24 --> 00:29:28

mouth. I wish my people knew I don't understand that piece. So I

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

can't really explain it to you. I don't understand it. I would have

00:29:31 --> 00:29:34

been hateful towards them. I've I've read this story in my mind a

00:29:34 --> 00:29:37

million times. I've never come to a point where I loved my people

00:29:37 --> 00:29:41

after they killed me not once, not once was I able to say to myself,

00:29:41 --> 00:29:43

I forgive them, and I want them to find guidance after me. If they

00:29:43 --> 00:29:47

killed me, I hope that they all I could never, I couldn't get out of

00:29:47 --> 00:29:51

it. I don't know how he's like that, but he is, which is why this

00:29:51 --> 00:29:54

story is in the Quran, and we're not to learn from it, that that's

00:29:54 --> 00:29:58

how your heart is supposed to be. It's supposed to be a loving of

00:29:58 --> 00:29:59

guidance for others and.

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

Then I figured out it wasn't really God. It wasn't loving

00:30:02 --> 00:30:04

people. It was the love of guidance for others. It's a

00:30:04 --> 00:30:07

different thing. You don't have to love people, which is important.

00:30:07 --> 00:30:10

You should, but if you don't, what you should love is guidance for

00:30:10 --> 00:30:15

others. You have something so beautiful, so valuable, so

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

meaningful.

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

It does for you, something that is

00:30:21 --> 00:30:25

so deep within your soul and who you are that you will you can't

00:30:25 --> 00:30:28

imagine not everyone having it. You want everyone to have it.

00:30:28 --> 00:30:33

That's the way I understand. Imam Shafi is quote, and neither a la

00:30:33 --> 00:30:37

Manna sul il makula, humini, walayan, subunahu ilay, I would

00:30:37 --> 00:30:40

love for everyone to know what I know and never say it came from me

00:30:40 --> 00:30:43

like for me to be forgotten. I just want them to know it, because

00:30:43 --> 00:30:46

if they knew it, they would live different, feel different, be

00:30:46 --> 00:30:49

different. I thought about me. I don't care if you may, they forget

00:30:49 --> 00:30:53

who I ever was, but at least they are able to enjoy the beauty. The

00:30:53 --> 00:30:58

sweet nectar of iman in the Allah tells the Prophet this sweet

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

nectar of iman was telling man, there's a nectar to it. Is

00:31:02 --> 00:31:05

beautiful. He had it, this man,

00:31:06 --> 00:31:09

and all he wanted for others to have it. They killed him. Didn't

00:31:09 --> 00:31:10

kill him. Didn't make

00:31:12 --> 00:31:17

a difference to him. Wa ja Alani, mean, Ali mukura, mean woman.

00:31:18 --> 00:31:21

Asmaa kunanzi, we never punished. We didn't have to do much. We'd

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

have to send armies down from the sky

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

in Canada for either hum hamidun. It was just one call Saya, just

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

one for either HUM hamidun, and none of them were left. Yeah.

00:31:39 --> 00:31:44

How sad it is the matter of these servants, Maya, at him of Rasul in

00:31:44 --> 00:31:47

Illa kan will be he is to hazy when, every time we send them a

00:31:47 --> 00:31:52

messenger, they mock them. Alam, your Omak, now, Kabul June, have

00:31:52 --> 00:31:57

they not looked at the stories of the nations before them? When

00:31:57 --> 00:32:01

Kullu, Lam Jami or LA Dana Barun, and very soon, all of you, with no

00:32:01 --> 00:32:10

exception, will be gathered here with us, with Allah come first,

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

Allah,

00:32:21 --> 00:32:22

Alhamdulillah.

00:32:50 --> 00:33:08

Humble, You Come

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

He

00:34:20 --> 00:34:22

Day,

00:34:41 --> 00:34:43

what

00:34:45 --> 00:34:50

I hope for all of us to learn is not just the lesson of Dawa, but

00:34:50 --> 00:34:54

also the love of it. We need a couple of more mukmini scenes

00:34:54 --> 00:34:59

amongst us. We need more mukminiya scenes here, people who have the.

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

Passion towards their Deen. They're willing to go out and

00:35:03 --> 00:35:07

speak. They're willing to go out and pull people into the masajid

00:35:07 --> 00:35:10

and teach them their deen and stand for what is righteous, and

00:35:10 --> 00:35:16

fear for their people. Fear for their people. We're a bit too

00:35:16 --> 00:35:19

selfish. Sometimes. We have to look at this from a from a more

00:35:19 --> 00:35:20

selfless

00:35:21 --> 00:35:24

point of view, you have to zoom out a bit. We want to save

00:35:24 --> 00:35:28

everyone ourselves included. We start with ourselves, and we move

00:35:28 --> 00:35:31

on to those who are closest to us, and we try to help them find the

00:35:31 --> 00:35:34

beauty that we have found in our lives. And we do it with

00:35:34 --> 00:35:38

compassion, and we do it with love. It's hard to match his

00:35:38 --> 00:35:42

example. They killed him, and he still had love for them. It's hard

00:35:42 --> 00:35:46

to match his example, but maybe we take something from it. May we

00:35:46 --> 00:35:47

take something from it?

00:35:48 --> 00:35:54

This is the duty of the prophets. It is the duty of all those who

00:35:54 --> 00:35:58

carry the legacy of the prophets. You see alias salatu. Salam moved

00:35:58 --> 00:36:03

on. He left the legacy of this for you. He didn't leave a prophet

00:36:03 --> 00:36:07

after him to perform dawah. And even if he did, if you study the

00:36:07 --> 00:36:11

story of mukmin Yasin, does it make a difference, even if he left

00:36:11 --> 00:36:13

the Prophet after him, which he didn't, salallahu sabhi Salama,

00:36:13 --> 00:36:17

he's the final one. But even if he did, based on mukmin Yasin story,

00:36:17 --> 00:36:20

would it make a difference? It wouldn't. If you accept La ilaha

00:36:20 --> 00:36:23

illallah, then the first thing you do is you get up and you start.

00:36:24 --> 00:36:27

I'll end with this. When the prophet Ali saw some called to

00:36:27 --> 00:36:30

Islam, answered as if he has been waiting for it all his life.

00:36:31 --> 00:36:33

That's how they describe it. He answered as if he had been waiting

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

for someone to say, La ilaha illallah, for him just, just for

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

someone to make the first step so he can walk as He He had no

00:36:39 --> 00:36:42

hesitation. He was waiting for it, and then he heard it from the

00:36:42 --> 00:36:45

Prophet alayhi salatu, Islam. He finished that meeting with him,

00:36:45 --> 00:36:50

and he went and he brought eight people, seven of them and the

00:36:50 --> 00:36:54

eighth. He went and he brought eight people to Islam. Seven of

00:36:54 --> 00:37:00

them are from the 10, one of the most, and then the eighth, or the

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

Allahu.

00:37:02 --> 00:37:06

Why? Because it doesn't take knowledge. It takes love. It takes

00:37:06 --> 00:37:10

compassion. This peace is missing. We need what existed. We need to

00:37:10 --> 00:37:14

extract whatever was in the heart of mukmini as seen. We have to

00:37:14 --> 00:37:17

extract it and put it in ours so that we can behave that way and be

00:37:17 --> 00:37:21

more like him. I hope that was a benefit to You. Wala. Malala, I'm

00:37:22 --> 00:37:31

In Ali as

00:37:40 --> 00:37:42

well

00:37:45 --> 00:37:57

meaning,

00:38:09 --> 00:38:15

Bangladesh

00:38:17 --> 00:38:22

of Ira

00:38:26 --> 00:38:29

Tahir

00:38:39 --> 00:38:58

Na, the

00:38:59 --> 00:39:03

next Two weeks to reschedule. Before school begins. We

00:39:03 --> 00:39:06

reschedule all of our programs within the last week of August, 1

00:39:06 --> 00:39:09

week of September. Then we bring back everything inshallah. Second

00:39:09 --> 00:39:11

week of September, there are few I will be running the tafsir in

00:39:11 --> 00:39:14

Arabic tonight after maghrib. That's the only thing. There will

00:39:14 --> 00:39:16

be a few other programs that are continuing that brother basil will

00:39:16 --> 00:39:19

make announcements for right after Salah inshallah. So you can listen

00:39:19 --> 00:39:21

to that baraka of ekum, Akhi musallah.
