So the color was the Karasu Lulu brothers and sisters. First of

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

culinary law or you will believe

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

people towards people

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

do.

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

aspire and look for as we should try to realize that the greatest

of Islamic ideas without a struggle Hassan Atolla, Ceja good

and bad cannot be alike cannot be equal in the viability he has some

say Yeah.

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
