all, I Praise Almighty Allah for his abundant blessings. In my last
one otter inspire us to turn to Him always independence, praising
him and thanking Him for His blessings and always trying to use
his blessings in ways that would bring us closer to him.
So that we succeed in this life and the next life.
I have recited a verse
where Allah subhana wa Taala orders us you already nominal Kuno

be witnesses steadfastly standing on behalf of Allah subhanaw taala
for truth and justice.
What I didn't want to come Shara Corbyn, Let not your hatred of

lead you to make unjust judgment, pronounced judgment that is unjust
and unfair.
To treat them unfairly. Error zero. Be just in your judgment,
who are capable of Taqwa that is closer to piety. And Allah reminds
us in the law, hubby Rumi matar maroon Allah is aware of what we

In another ayah, Allah Spano, Tala reminds us the idea that we should

that which is evil, counter it with that which is best.
If you do so, you will find your enemy becoming your boss and
friend.
So we are we promised today to talk about Islamophobia. You know,
last week, we got the good news that the Government of Canada
declare January 29, as a remembrance day day of Remembrance
for the 2017 Quebec City mosque attack,
which took the lives
of more than six people and many rendered many years victims.
And also government also followed it up
with another hero bill that was passed, declaring the white
supremacist groups as terrorists. These are are great initiatives on
the part of our government. The Muslim organizations have worked
hard
for this and it is the fruit of the efforts. Islamophobia is a
real
threat
The we are seeing it everywhere various parts of the world. In
India we have hundreds of Muslims burned alive. And of course, the
attacks against Muslims still going on in many parts of India in
especially in North India.
And we know how millions have been displaced in Myanmar and 1000s of
Muslims in Sri Lanka also facing, you know, discrimination,
experiencing, you know, the effects of Islamophobia, the
hatred for Muslims, against Islam and Muslims.
And of course, in New Zealand
you know, so many 51 people were killed in the two attacks on the
mosque there and injuring 49 people. And all of these, you
know, attacks were perpetrated by people who are brainwashed.
By Islamophobes. They are present everywhere, in the social media,
in the newspapers, in the magazines, in the art, music
industry, everywhere, fiction,
everywhere they are present, and they are spending millions
to spread the hate propaganda, hatred against Islam and Muslims.
It's racism. Of course. Racism is rampant against black people,
racism against Jews, they call it anti semitism. Of course, this has
been going on. Now what do we Muslims as Muslims do? What does
Islam teach us to face this hatred? This racism? Of course,
the first thing we have to remember is, Quranic mandate for
us is to be witnesses for truth and justice in the world.
shahada to witnessing for truth and justice, Muslim Ummah is
described in the Quran at the middle nation. We should have well
avoid extremes of our kinds, and we should be building bridges.
We have to stand forth as witnesses on behalf of Allah
subhanaw taala for truth and justice in the world. Wallah
Eugenia mon Nakamura uncommon, we have to be fair and just in our
judgment, even a deal Oh, and we are told to be just even if it
hurtful to our own interests, avidity in dangers, our own
interests, the interests of our kith and kin, our parents and
spouses and relatives and children, very openly, Quran
declares that and that is the mandate for us, we need to stand
for truth and justice, not just when it hurts Muslims, everywhere
there is oppression justice committed in against any anyone,
we should be there to stand up, align with all those who are for
justice and truth in the world.
So, this is the first strategy and the next thing is we need to have
the spiritual you know ideal always in front of us
what after several $100 a year,
the golden bird cannot be alike cannot be equal, counter evil with
that which is best.
So, of course, this should not lead us to remain silent. Because
the first idea wants us to be affirmative to take affirmative
action.
And affirmative action is to use all of the resources legal piece
will have a noose open to us.
Put our resources
develop institutions that would stand for Muslims, train lawyers,
through train social scientists, train writers, train media people,
show that they will dare they will stand for us they will liberate
our story for us, instead of others narrating our story, we
should be assertive we should be affirmative, we should turn and
read there is the prophet of Allah said if any of you see an
injustice, the wrongs done,
try to correct it. By using means available to you affirmative
action, legal action whatever is available to you. If you cannot do
so
you the power of the
Word, the spoken and the return the music, the art, expression,
articulation. And today though there is various methods of media,
we must use them effectively. And we should develop our own media as
well. So, the next thing is Muslim Islam required from Muslim, to
stand for values.
Islam is all for compassion in the world. Islam is for virtue, and we
need to stand, cooperate with anyone. For the right course, the
Prophet of Allah said,
I was a participant, a partner to your practice of virtue enjoy
Helia times.
The pact was where there is an injustice, we will stand with your
press with the victim. Until justice is done given justice is
his right is restored, the right of the victim is restored.
And the prophet of Mercy said, If I were called to a similar
project, in Islam, I would rush to join it, no matter who cares me
for it, no matter who takes that initiative. So this is the mandate
for Muslims. And we need to work
for compassion in the world. Because in Islam, the acts of
compassion, and charity cannot be removed cannot be detached from
piety. hosts will hook good morals and compassion are integral to
piety to God consciousness. Because Allah subhanaw taala said,
the one who does not encourage, you know, standing for the
oppressed, and restoring justice and feeding the poor and the
hungry, and cannot exhort people to be charitable. He is the one
who falsifies religion, because he has a fake religion, that is known
as a cruel religion.
And then, of course, the ideal practice of Rasulullah sallallahu
wasallam. While we must use all of this, including using our
political representatives, the provincial and the federal,
to stand, you know, not only for the rights of Muslims,
who denied the rights, but also for, for the rights of everyone,
against racism, against bigotry, against xenophobia,
all kinds of industries in the society, we should be there to
give this message, powerful message to our representatives,
and make sure that they stand up for us, they stand up for truth,
they stand up for justice.
And then of course, the Islamic the spiritual ideal must always be
in front of our eyes. And of course, this is part of what Allah
Spano told us in the Quran
Coulier Abbado
act, let Allah and His Messenger see your performance, your action,
what kind of impact you are making, your works are doing in
the society, what is the effect of your charitable work, how your
project to remove poverty and homelessness and unemployment, how
it is bearing fruit in the society.
How you are making a difference in the society in the community you
are living in the neighborhood you are living and with the neighbors
you are the Prophet of Allah extended always that you know
charitable action with our of his neighbors, and even said, you
know, the circle extends to the 40 houses.
And he said start with that sharing. You know the first to you
you know the meal on the festive occasion, or even ordinary times,
try and see if anybody in the neighborhood is starving. Take
that action.
And finally, and most importantly, what are the struggle has an
overseer try evil should be countered by that which is best.
The Prophet of Allah demonstrated the success of this trip
You know, the Prophet stood up in Arabia in Makkah, the whole of
Makkah the whole of Arabia against him. They fought him, they drove
him out. The persecutors, they Lynch these followers, they waged
wars and organize people, other, you know people against him to try
to destroy the Muslim community, but the messenger of mercy. Within
23 years, hundreds of his enemies became
the believers, supporters, the boss of firms, even
as they had fought years against Islam and the Prophet, they became
the forerunners,
the defenders of Islam, ready to die for fighting for the cause of
Islam. In general, whether 100,000 More than 100,000 companions were
with him.
Most of them were enemies of Islam, but the prophet of Mercy
turned them into his friends and supporters. And we can we must use
this by
narrating our story.
As the Bureau's the Muslim philosopher said,
ignorance leads to fear and fear leads to hatred and violence.
Ignorance leads to fear
and fear leads to hatred, hatred, leads leads to violence. So, we
need to understand this and B pursue C or do you love CBD
Rebecca Bill Hekmati will borrow a letter
called P people to the way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful
preaching. Beautiful words, spoken, written. And beautiful
mannerism, good morals, good ethics, standing for, for truth
and justice in the world. That is the formula that is the way to
counter Islamophobia and racism. We have a message and we must turn
live by it, and act upon it and die for it. Insha Allah Akula
